Naturally, everyone knew that she was Lin Cheng’s daughter.

Lin Cheng and Lin Momo’s performance in [Living with Dad] had become a viral sensation, and many people have already been paying attention to Lin Momo.

With the exposure of Lin Momo’s identity online and the subsequent statements made during Lin Cheng’s press conference, the fact that Lin Momo was Lin Cheng’s daughter was no longer a secret within the company.

Everyone also thought of one thing:

The entire company belonged to the Lin family. If Lin Cheng didn’t have any more children in the future, then, without a doubt, this little girl in front of them now would be the future boss of the company.

Perhaps because everyone’s gazes were too intense, Lin Momo, who was washing her cup, turned her head and glanced towards the glass wall of the conference room as if she had noticed something, and then she saw that everyone sitting in the conference room was looking at her.

Lin Momo was stunned, and a very vivid expression of embarrassment appeared on her face.

Lin Momo instinctively wanted to hide, but then, realizing everyone was still watching her, she forced herself to put on a smile. Then, she waved towards the conference room, saying hello to everyone, and then turned and ran, quickly slipping out of sight.

Lin Cheng, amused by Lin Momo’s expression, chuckled softly twice. His gaze paused for two seconds on the glass wall of the tea room before retracting his gaze. He cleared his throat and said to everyone, “Continue.”

“Okay,” the person in charge continued his report.

… …

Meanwhile, Lin Momo at least finished washing and drying her cup, then handed them back to the attendant.

As she handed them over, she said, “Thank you.”

Hearing this, the attendant couldn’t help but laugh, joking, “I should be the one saying ‘thank you’, since you washed the cup for me.”

Preparing tea and clearing the dirtied cups was part of her job.

Hearing the attendant’s words, Lin Momo smiled sheepishly and whispered, “You’re welcome, I’m just used to washing my things myself.”

Lin Momo had become accustomed to taking care of her own things, both in her previous life with her grandmother and still later with Lin Cheng. 

The attendant’s eyes sparkled at Lin Momo’s expression, and she exclaimed in her heart, ‘Ah! So cute, I want to pat her so badly.’

Although she had seen Lin Momo cleaning and doing chores many times while watching the livestreams, watching through a phone screen was no match for seeing it firsthand!

“Do you want anything else to drink? I’ll make it for you. Or would you like some cake? The cafeteria downstairs should have some prepared, I can bring some up for you,” the attendant asked, looking at Lin Momo with undisguised affection.

Lin Momo’s eyes lit up at the mention of ‘small cake’, but she shook her head and said, “Thank you, but no thanks. My Dad doesn’t let me eat too many snacks.”

Lin Cheng had indeed mentioned this during a previous recording of the show. The reason? It was because Grandpa Lin loved to prepare all sorts of snacks for Lin Momo, so Lin Cheng had no choice but to ask Lin Momo to avoid eating it outside.

The attendant, apparently recalling the incident from the livestream, thought for a moment and added, “Small cakes aren’t considered snacks. A small piece won’t harm your health, and our small cakes aren’t overly sweet.”

The attendant’s words wavered Lin Momo’s opinion.

Lin Momo stole a glance toward the conference room, then nodded at the attendant and said, “Okay then.

“Just a small piece.”

“Okay,” the attendant agreed with a smile.

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

… …

[The attendant fed Momo right then and there, hahaha.]

[I’m truly envious. ] 

[Envy +1]

[I can’t take it anymore. In order to see my lovely girl, I have decided to go to Hengnan Group for an interview tomorrow! Don’t compete with me.]

[I want to go too.]

… … translated by Maela @ whitemoonlighttranslations.com

“I want to go, too.”

In an office in the entertainment company, Wang Xi, who was holding her mobile phone and watching the livestream of Lin Cheng and Lin Momo, couldn’t help but echo the sentiment.

Hearing this, Chen Yu on glanced at Wang Xi and unceremoniously said, “Don’t think about it. The entry requirements for a company like Hengnan Group are definitely much higher than ours, and each position has professional requirements. You’d better stay in Starstone Entertainment.”

“I’m just sighing casually…” Wang Xi said, whose enthusiasm was extinguished, spreading her hands in defeat.

After a pause, Wang Xi looked at Chen Yu and Zhou Qi again and asked, “However, we are now considered Brother Cheng— no, Boss Lin’s people, right?”

“Of course.”

“Hehe, that’s good,” Wang Xi nodded with a smile, adding, “This way, we can be considered to be holding onto the boss’ little finger.” Lin Cheng hadn’t indicated that he was quitting the entertainment industry, so they were still considered Lin Cheng’s agents and assistants. Occasionally, helping Lin Cheng land variety shows and releasing new songs and singles seemed like a good idea.

“If ever Boss Lin grows tired of Starstone Entertainment and opens his own studio, bringing us along, that would be even better,” Wang Xi fantasized.

Chen Yu didn’t refute this. As far as he knew, Lin Cheng’s current contract with the company would expire in two months. With Lin Cheng’s skills, opening another studio would actually be a good option.

“I really didn’t expect that Brother Cheng would actually be the ultimate boss,” Wang Xi couldn’t help but sigh as she watched the livestream on the small screen.

“I never expected Brother Cheng to reveal all this directly on the show,” Wang Xi said, glancing at the online viewer count in the upper left corner of the livestream.

Due to recent events, Lin Cheng and Lin Momo’s livestream viewership has skyrocketed, and their popularity was now significantly higher than the other families.

“I didn’t expect that either…” Chen Yu muttered.

But he knew that Lin Cheng was doing this for Lin Momo’s sake, to ensure she could confidently stand before the public.

Chen Yu suddenly remembered the news from the producers of [Against the Grain] regarding the film’s promotional posters and final photos, and he shared the news with Wang Xi and Zhou Qi.

“They’ve already confirmed that final photos and clips of Lin Cheng’s character, Lin An’nan, will be included in the first release posters and trailer for [Against the Grain].”

Hearing this, Wang Xi and Zhou Qi were both delighted.

“Really? That’s great!” Wang Xi exclaimed.

As a state-funded film and television production, [Against the Grain] was definitely a first-rate effort, and Lin Cheng’s inclusion in the initial promotions was incredibly significant.

“Is it because Brother Cheng’s background has been exposed, and the filmmakers are trying to curry favor?” Wang Xi casually asked.

“Of course not,” Chen Yu glanced at Wang Xi and said, “It’s not a commercial film, so there’s no need to do that.”

“But it does have something to do with that,” Chen Yu continued.

“What do you mean?” Wang Xi was puzzled.

“It’s actually pretty easy to understand…” Zhou Qi explained.

While the character of ‘Lin An’nan’ wasn’t among the six main actors in [Against the Grain], he was a compelling character in his own right, and his storyline ran through the entire series.

Logically, including ‘Lin An’nan’ in the initial promotions was perfectly justified.

The reason the filmmakers haven’t finalized this decision before was because of Lin Cheng.

While [Against the Grain] has always promoted a cast of veteran artists and talented actors, Lin Cheng wasn’t a professional actor, and he didn’t even have any previous film or television credits. Putting him in the initial promotions would likely spark controversy online.

But with Lin Cheng’s true identity revealed, the problem was now resolved.

It was perfectly reasonable for a younger generation to play his own forefather. With a biased perspective, it would be easier for the audience to spot the remarkable aspects of Lin Cheng’s acting in the drama.

“I was worried about Lin Cheng getting slammed by the public after the promotion for [Against the Grain], but now, I don’t have to worry at all.”

I am probably the most relaxed agent ever, Chen Yu thought to himself.

“Haha, I see,” Wang Xi understood.

“Come to think of it, it’s hard to find any negative news online about Brother Cheng and Momo these days,” Wang Xi said with a smile.

Previously, after Lin Cheng’s renewed popularity thanks to [Living with Dad], it was inevitable that there would be some negative comments from haters and ‘rivals’ online.

However, in the past two days, all the false rumors and slanderous messages have vanished.

“It’s proven that in the face of absolute strength, slamming him is meaningless,” Wang Xi commented.

Chen Yu nodded, deeply convinced.

This was probably the outcome Lin Cheng had anticipated and desired from the beginning.

“For Momo, Lin Cheng really went all out this time.” Chen Yu sighed.
