This salary seems a bit beyond expectation?
And with a profit share.
"What's wrong?" Ming Yi looked at his fiancée and gestured. He then said to Lin Xiao, "Brother Xiao, I didn't get to properly introduce you earlier. This is my fiancée, Shi Yiling. She's a student at a women's university."
"You scoundrel, going too far, even reaching for schools!" Lin Xiao teased Ming Yi, pointing at him. "Is a good girl still studying and already your fiancée?"
"This... we have a marriage engagement." Ming Yi quickly explained. "Brother Xiao, you know me, I wouldn't go to school."
"Mm, I was just joking."
Lin Xiao waved his hand. He then looked at Shi Yiling, his expression tinged with a bit of emotion. "Back then, if those things hadn't happened, I might have only graduated a couple of years ago."
Back then, though he was a bit of a playboy, his academic performance was good enough to get into a good university without pressure. He had planned then, once he got to university, he would show his ambition, meet enough beautiful girls, he would...
Ultimately, he didn't get that chance.
He gained other opportunities.
"Brother Xiao... could I have your autograph?" Shi Yiling asked, a little nervous.
This was more nerve-wracking than talking to Luo Qinghan.
This was the Dragon King, the War God, the Divine Doctor, a legend of the Dragon Country, a leader of the younger generation, a guardian god.
This was more tense than facing any idol.
After all, without Lin Xiao, perhaps she wouldn't even have the right to see her idol.
"Sure, we can even take a photo," Lin Xiao said, gesturing for her to come closer. "But remember, autographed photos can't be sold."
"Of course not!"
Shi Yiling said with surprise.
She then picked up her instant camera to take a photo and waited for Lin Xiao's signature.
"Alright, I'm going to spend some time with Xun'er. I've been teaching her Gomoku these past few days. Do you want to join her later?" Lin Xiao said, calling out to Ming Yi.
"Okay."
Ming Yi agreed and followed along. He hadn't seen Xun'er for a few days and missed her quite a bit.
Uncle Qi also trotted along eagerly.
Shi Yiling wasn't willing to be left behind.
Xun'er was sitting in front of a Gomoku board. Seeing her dad arrive, she quickly said, "Daddy! Today I'm definitely going to win against you once!"
"Okay, okay, okay. How about I give you four stones?" Lin Xiao said, also sitting cross-legged. He continued, "Four stones?"
Giving four stones?
Ming Yi blinked, unsure what to say.
That was equivalent to conceding defeat directly, wasn't it?
However, since Xun'er was just starting to learn, it might actually be possible?
They didn't know.
To the surprise of several of them, Xun'er saw through it at this moment and said, "Daddy, giving me four stones is like admitting defeat!"
"Oh dear, you found me out," Lin Xiao said, scratching his head awkwardly. Then he added, "Then today I'll give Xun'er three stones!"
So Xun'er knew!
Uncle Qi had already sat down curiously, staring at the chessboard.
Seeing Uncle Qi like this, Ming Yi subconsciously recalled something. Uncle Qi seemed to have loved playing chess since he was young, be it Chinese chess, Go, or Gomoku.
When he was a child, Uncle Qi often dragged him to play chess, sometimes for an entire afternoon.
