Xu Ye looked up at his family, every one of them staring at him. He turned the speakerphone off immediately, went back to his room, and only then put the phone to his ear again.

"What is it?"

"An internet celebrity with eight hundred thousand followers reached out to us herself today. She wants to sell for us. Should we authorize her?"

Xu Ye answered quickly. "If they're coming to us now, then we can revise the revenue-share contract. I'll talk it over with Boss when I'm back at the company."

"You got it. That's all for now, then."

Xu Ye left his phone charging in his room. When he came out, all three sisters had gone into the kitchen, and Old Xu was in there helping out too.

On the sofa, Wang Manning, Wang Yuxin and Wang Zixuan sat in a row.

Wang Zixuan was playing on his mom's phone.

Wang Zixuan's attention was entirely on the game. He answered absently. "Third."

"That good?"

He didn't say anything. His fingers slid nimbly over the screen. Wang Manning supplied the rest. "Third from the bottom."

"Third from the bottom?" Xu Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He picked up where she had left off. "If you're going in as an arts student, which university are you applying to next year?"

Wang Manning pouted. "I haven't decided. Either the capital or Shanghai. Though I hear the Jinling Art Academy is good too."

Xu Ye: Even for an arts student, if you want to get into a decent arts school, your academic grades still have to meet the standard.

Hearing him take the tone of an elder again, Wang Manning came straight back at him.…
