The rich and powerful: The story of the counterattack of the house girl

Chapter 38 The Law of the Jungle

Lai Xiaocai was really very angry. She never thought that the other party could talk so much nonsense without even reading her own works.

If she came to meet this so-called "fan who appreciates herself" with so much anticipation before, then she walked out of the hotel with so much disappointment at this moment.

I thought that I really met Bole who appreciated me, but I didn't expect to be such a liar. Is it rare that my works are really so unpopular?Could it be that she really doesn't have the talent to tell stories and draw comics?
Lai Xiaocai couldn't help being stuffy in her heart, wandering across the sidewalk, but because she was distracted on the overpass, she went down the wrong stairs and walked in the opposite direction. As a result, she kept her head down and walked for a long time unconsciously until she reached the road. The previous yellow car followed her for a while, and finally honked its horn impatiently after seeing that she still didn't notice.

Lai Xiaocai finally turned around to take a look, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Ling Xi?"

Ling Xi then leaned out the window to wave to her, then stretched out his hand to open the car door, and gestured to her to get in the car. Lai Xiaocai hesitated for a while before finally opening the door of the back seat, and buried her Head sat up.

The sound of the motor suddenly sounded, and Ling Xi stepped up the accelerator and sped in the direction of the viaduct.

"Aren't you going home?" Lai Xiaocai couldn't help asking when he realized that he was driving in the opposite direction of the villa.

Ling Xi glanced at her from the rearview mirror: "You seem to be in a bad mood, I'll take you for a ride."

Lai Xiaocai lowered her head again and fell silent for a moment, recalling what Director Li said in the hotel just now, then raised her head again thinking and asked, "Do you know that I'm here today to find someone from the comic company?"

Ling Xi nodded, pretending to be serious while humming a little tune: "Is there anything in this world that I don't know about? Heh, you still lied to me that I was seeing a girlfriend? This time I know so let you go, next time If I catch you again, you will feel better."

"Why did you suddenly invest 100 million in the comic competition?" Lai Xiaocai frowned slightly.

"What's the matter?" Ling Xi was stunned for a moment, and said nonchalantly, "I think it's so difficult for this small company with the size of a palm to raise funds. It's really pitiful that a small comic contest has been delayed for a year. Selling face to favor."

"But do you know that after they knew that you invested because of me, they insisted on giving me the championship by default." Lai Xiaocai said angrily.

Ling Xi immediately gave a "puchi" smile: "They are quite understanding of the world, so I don't need to remind them."

Lai Xiaocai suddenly felt that there was something wrong with his attitude: "So you also think this kind of behavior is appropriate?"

Ling Xi turned the steering wheel and shrugged: "Ofcourse, is there any problem?"

"Of course there is a problem!" Lai Xiaocai blushed and said excitedly: "The competition is about fairness and justice, and the contestants must rely on their own strength!"

Knowing that she would have such an attitude, Ling Xi couldn't help but clicked her lips, and answered naturally: "But connections are also part of strength, aren't they?"

"It's different."

"What's the difference?"

"This is a competition for original comics, and the strength is limited only to the strength of the works!" Lai Xiaocai said stubbornly.

Ling Xi sighed lightly: "Hey, I knew you had this temper, so you deserve it now."

Lai Xiaocai was dissatisfied immediately: "What's wrong with me? Do you have to understand the world to participate in an original competition?"

"Of course,"

"Nonsense! The art world only looks at strength and talent, not like those unspoken rules and entertainment in other circles." Lai Xiaocai replied angrily.

No, Ling Xi interrupted her suddenly: "Isn't socializing with readers considered socializing?"

Lai Xiaocai hesitated for a while: "This...but we don't need to deliberately respond"

Ling Xi clicked her lips again: "So you are looking after the starving artist Van Gogh?"

This time, Lai Xiaocai was finally so choked that she couldn't speak. She really didn't realize that Ling Xi really had iron teeth and copper teeth, and she spoke quickly.

Seeing that she was finally silent, Ling Xi shook her head and sighed: "You, you really need to be trained hard. The typical idealism is far-fetched, with dreams in vain, and high-spirited, can you eat it?"

Seeing that he was ridiculing her dream with such a natural attitude, Lai Xiaocai couldn't help but retort: ​​"I'm not idealistic! Hmph, how can a rich second generation like you understand my dream?"

Ling Xi glanced at her again in the rearview mirror, and said with regret, "Oh, look at you, you're on the fence again, do you think that you are the only one who has dreams, and others don't? Your dream is different and astounding, and you must be sought after by thousands of people when you are born?"

"You" Lai Xiaocai was so angry that she was almost speechless, and she blurted out: "You haven't read my work, why do you say that about me!"

Unexpectedly, Ling Xi replied without thinking: "Who said I haven't seen it?"

"Ah?" Lai Xiaocai was stunned for a moment, and looked at him with disbelieving eyes: "Have you seen it? How is it possible? Who are you lying to?"

Ling Xi showed a look of "I can't help you", took a deep breath again and said: "Actually, to be honest, your drawing skills are considered good compared to domestic cartoonists of the same age, but it's a pity that the expressiveness of the pictures Very bad, and the story is relatively thin. Of course, as an inspirational small fresh manga, it can be regarded as a leader. It's a pity that this style was only popular ten years ago, and it is already outdated now. However, I really like it. That line in your last chapter, 'In this world, there is no rubbish, only misplaced gems'."

This time, Lai Xiaocai opened his mouth wide in shock: "Have you really seen it?"

"You think I'm lying to you? You stayed up late last night to read it."

Lai Xiaocai's heart was touched for a moment, with mixed feelings, she was so stunned that she couldn't speak for a long time, until Ling Xi continued to speak.

"You said you wanted to be an artist, but it's a pity that the cartoonist industry was not positioned as an artist from the very beginning. No one reads comics, no matter how good they are, they are just a pile of waste paper, aren't they? Is it?"

Lai Xiaocai's heart trembled again as if she had been poked in a sore spot.

Ling Xi continued with a smile while driving the car: "To be clear, you are not down-to-earth, you are too arrogant, let brother Ling teach you a good lesson."

"Class? What class?"

"Take a lesson in the 'law of the jungle' in this business empire."
