"You want to hire me as your babysitter?"
Lin Xi was simply about to laugh out of anger at Qin Yu.
In the movie circle, all the famous actors paid a lot of money. Lin Xi was after all, the queen of movies, even though her wealth could not be compared to Qin Yu, but if nothing unexpected happened, then it would be enough to spend for the rest of her life.
Moreover, even if she really lacked money, she could still go out and act. She wouldn't be reduced to going to Qin Yu's house to be a babysitter.
Lin Xi asked Qin Yu again, "Do you think I need your money?"
Qin Yu frowned.
He was not sure if Lin Xi was lacking in money, but he was lacking in people to take care of the baby.
He was about to go abroad with Yao Jing, but Sister Peng was chased away, he couldn't find a suitable candidate to babysit for a while.
Now that the people of Old Madem Qin were abroad, and there was no one controlling the ancestral house, he did not dare to recklessly hand the baby over to someone else to take care of.
There were a lot of people with small intentions in ancestral house, and there were also a lot of older children. He didn't want the baby to be bullied like it was at the birthday banquet.
Before Qin Yu even asked Lin Xi, he had even thought of taking the baby on a business trip.
However, the country that they were traveling to was in a bad weather, and their baby's resistance was poor. If they suddenly moved to a place with a different climate, they would inevitably have another illness.
Thus, he quickly rejected this idea of his.
The baby was going to stay in the country, and other than Yao Jing, the only one he could trust in the country was Xing Lie.
But on this trip, Yao Jing had to accompany him, and as for Xing Lie —
Xing Lie always liked to play. Previously, when he brought along the baby, he actually brought the girl directly to a bar. He even let the baby see some "not suitable for children" things. Qin Yu was even angry at him for doing this, and decided to never let the baby get along with him again.
After thinking about it, the best person to take care of this baby now, was the Lin Xi in front of him.
When Sister Peng first came to the house to be a babysitter, it took a whole month before the baby was willing to stay with her alone. On the other hand, it was rare for the baby to really like Lin Xi. The first time they met, she invited him back to her house.
Furthermore, from Lin Xi's questioning of the Sister Peng just now, he could tell that she truly cared about the baby.
That was why he hastily asked Lin Xi to take care of the baby.
Qin Yu then continued, "It's not limited to money. You can make any request, as long as you agree to it, I will take good care of the baby before I find the next suitable babysitter."
But Lin Xi was completely unmoved by the benefits that Qin Yu offered.
If Qin Yu made her think of him as a baby, she might still agree to take care of him for a few more days. But this method of taking advantage of the situation and buying reminded her of four years ago when Qin Yu gave her a gold card and sent her away …
Lin Xi did not want to be seen again.
She was about to refuse again when the phone in her pocket rang.
It was Wei Yan.
In the past four years that Lin Xi was an actress, she had always been her assistant.
She looked at the caller ID, thought for a moment, and ended the call. She planned to finish her business with Qin Yu before calling him back.
But when she hung up, Wei Yan immediately called her back.
Wei Yan rarely called back after she hung up the phone calls, unless something extremely urgent happened.
Lin Xi glanced at Qin Yu and passed the medicine in his hand to him at the same time. Then, she indicated to that she should first answer the phone and have him feed the baby the medicine.
Qin Yu hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he took the medicine and left.
As soon as Lin Xi picked up the phone, she heard Wei Yan anxiously say, "Sister Lin Xi, it's bad. Someone from the court suddenly sealed up the studio.
"Money?" Lin Xi frowned, puzzled. "That's impossible, could the court have gotten it wrong?"
Lin Xi had her own studio when she was an actor, so she decided to disband her studio after she left.
Before she decided to come to Z City, she had already cleared all the accounts for the studio and even gave a year-end bonus to the employees in advance. The rest of the studio had already disbanded, other than Wei Yan who was left to do some aftermath work.
She was sure that there was nothing wrong with the studio's accounts, that there were no arrears to the bank.
"But …" Wei Yan said hesitantly, "They have a loan contract that you signed yourself. This proves that from a year ago, you started borrowing huge amounts of funds from several banks and funds in the name of a legal person in the studio. Furthermore, you have not returned it back since three months ago."
"This is impossible!" Lin Xi was slightly flustered in her heart. She impatiently stroked her hair back and confirmed: "Are you sure that the loan contract is signed by me?"
"I've checked it several times already. It's indeed your autograph." On the other side of the phone, Wei Yan's voice was already sounding like she was crying.
Wei Yan was a little helpless at the moment, she even forgot to ask Lin Xi what exactly was going on with these contracts that had her signature on them.
She only asked: "Sister Lin Xi, what should I do now?"
Fortunately, Lin Xi was still relatively calm, so she comforted him with a few words, before saying: "You have to do your best to cooperate with the work of the court, and then send a photo of those loan contracts to me. As for the other things, we'll talk about them later. "
The first thing to do now was to find out what had happened.
Wei Yan agreed and ended the call. Not long later, the contracts that she signed were passed to Lin Xi's phone.
Just as Lin Xi was about to open the message and look carefully, a text came out, and Lin Xi opened it.
The message was from Lin Xi's manager.
However, there was only a short "I'm sorry".
Thinking about the phone call, Lin Xi's heart suddenly moved, a terrifying idea sprouted in her mind.
She immediately tapped open the loan contracts that Wei Yan sent over, and after quickly skimming through them, she confirmed that the signatures were indeed written by herself.
However, in her impression, she did not recall signing such a contract at all …
However, there were actually a lot of other work contracts. Because a broker had checked them in advance, she hadn't looked through them carefully when signing up.
Lin Xi thought about the "I'm sorry" that the broker sent over just now. If the broker had stuck the loan contract into her work contract, she would probably sign it without knowing it …
Lin Xi took a deep breath, then called his manager's number, wanting to find him and ask if all of this was because of him.
However, a "the other party has turned off" notification came over the phone.
Lin Xi's hand that was holding onto the phone immediately trembled.
She did not want to use the worst case scenario to guess that she was the manager who had worked with her for four years, but it was all because of that random text message from the manager that was too much of a coincidence.
Moreover, other than him, no one else had a chance to get her to sign these mysterious loan contracts …
Lin Xi's finger unconsciously moved across the loan contracts one by one. She suddenly found the broker's signature on a loan contract.
It was a loan contract that required a guarantor, and the guarantor signed it with her agent's name!
Lin Xi's manager was called Xu He, who was quite famous in the industry. He had a wide network and a good amount of movie and television resources.
Four years ago, when Lin Xi had left Z City and re-entered the entertainment circle to begin filming, Xu He's artiste just happened to break the contract. He had her eyes on Lin Xi, and before Lin Xi had even signed a manager contract, the two of them had met and started working together.
In the past few years, Xu She had also brought up many famous artists, so there was nothing to say about her ability to work. In the end, Lin Xi was able to get the award for the movie, and Xu She could not help but contribute to it.
But outside of work, Xu He's private life is very chaotic, besides frequent change of girlfriend, but also love to gamble.
Before Lin Xi had cooperated with him, she had heard of such embarrassing things, "Xu He once lost all of her fortune abroad, and in the end relied on her girlfriend to receive him. Only then did she get the money to buy a plane ticket and return home."
During the early stages of the cooperation between the two, Lin Xi had observed Xu He for a period of time and did not discover anything abnormal about him. At that time, she thought that Xu He had completely changed his personality after what happened previously.
She roughly did a calculation just now and found that the amount of money in all the loan contracts added up was huge, even surpassing her current wealth.
She was almost certain that Xu He was the one behind the loan. If he could spend so much money within a year, then he could only gamble.
A person who had cooperated with her for four years could actually cheat her like this? Lin Xi was both angry and fearful at the same time, and a layer of cold sweat emerged on her back.
At that moment, the phone in her hand rang again.
It was an unknown number.
Lin Xi took the letter hesitantly. She had thought that the other party was Xu He, but who knew that it was a court official.
The other party first verified her identity, then formally informed her, "Hello, Miss Linxi. I am a staff member of the City W Court. From that moment on, all the fixed assets and savings under your name have been completely frozen. If within half a month, you are still unable to raise and settle the loan, the court will convert your assets to the amount of your debtor. "
Lin Xi tried to explain, "But those loan contracts were signed without my knowledge …"
However, the other party said: "But Miss Linxi, since you have confirmed that the contract is your personal signature, you will have to bear the relevant legal responsibilities."
With just that one sentence, Lin Xi was rendered speechless.
The other party continued, "I'd suggest for you to raise the money as soon as possible. We've obtained your information; you're a newcomer to the movie and are considered a celebrity in society. If this scandal were to be exposed, the impact it would have on you wouldn't be as simple as money."
After he finished speaking, the other party sighed and hung up, leaving Lin Xi alone facing the phone, at a loss and helpless.
The total amount owed by banks and funds was close to two hundred million.
All of her wealth could barely reach 100 million, but the remaining 100 million, even if she could borrow money from others, it wouldn't be easy for her to transfer out that much liquidity all of a sudden.
Moreover, the court had given her only half a month to raise funds.
The time was too short. Even if he sold the house, he might not be able to find a buyer.
But...
Lin Xi peeked through the gap in the door and peeked inside the living room, there was actually someone who wasn't short on money in front of him.
Two hundred million wasn't much to her Qin’s, as long as Qin Yu was willing to lend it to her.
Lin Xi could not help but laugh bitterly.
Who would have thought that one moment she would arrogantly say that she wasn't short of money, and the next moment she would be a poor, indebted person.
He wondered if Qin Yu would lend her some money if she went back on her word and agreed to be a babysitter.
