Young Miss Strike Back! - Chapter 129

Days later everything was finalized with the building inspector and Lin Xiaoxiao paid for the building outright with cash. This allowed her to quickly get interior decorators in to start going over how the interior design will look. But today she was not by herself she had Shen Xing with her as well. He had taken time off work to help her plan out the building.

Currently, Lin Xiaoxiao was in the basement with Shen Xing asking his opinion on her plans for this space. “So Xing what do you think? The ceiling is high and there is plenty of space to build a stage and also allow for limited seating. I was thinking we could use this place as a testing ground to see how well the talents are doing with their lessons before allowing them to debut for real. We will allow for free admissions to the audience that attends only if they are willing to fill out a questionnaire at the end of the show. We will have staff at the door to make sure we gather all the questionnaires and for those who do not fill one out, we will charge them an admission fee. Of course, we’ll make sure that this is told to the audience before the show begins. We can then go by the questionnaires that are filled out in a proper manner as a guideline as to how well each actor did. Each show will only have four actors. This will make it so the audience is not overburdened with the questionnaire. The test will last for one week. At the end of the testing week, the results will be tallied and we can see what the public thinks of the talents. If they pass a certain margin then we can then put them up to attempt a debut.”

Shen Xing was shocked when he heard Lin Xiaoxiao’s idea. Not only was it a good idea it would allow the talents who were trying to debut see what their faults were before they debuted and allow them to try to work on them. It would also keep talents that were not ready for a debut from ruining their careers because they jumped the gun before they were ready! “Xiaoxiao that is an excellent idea. This place is a perfect size for at least one hundred people as well.”

Shen Xing’s eyes were sparkling. His wife had such a knack for business that she did not even need to go into acting if she did not want to!  Along with her other idea of having a few businesses working in tandem with each other this one was just as good! It would save a lot of money on talents that the company sunk money into only for them to flop weeks or months later!

“I’m glad you like it! I came up with it this morning while I was getting ready. I had been thinking of just using it for stage performances to gain a bit of extra money but this idea popped into my head this morning.” Lin Xiaoxiao explained. The idea had really come out of nowhere while she was watching the latest episode of The Next Big Thing that she had recorded. She had been making it a habit to watch that show now in case there were any worthwhile talents that Shen Xing could snatch away from other agencies.

“Xiaoxiao you really have a knack for business. Are you sure you want to go back into acting after the twins are born or would you like to just work on the companies and make them bloom? From what I can see you are a natural at business and could easily make your companies bloom quickly.” Shen Xing was not saying this to persuade Lin Xiaoxiao to give up acting but because he truly felt her talent in business was very good. Her ideas were fresh and sound. There was no drawback to any of the ideas she had suggested so far. Her eye for talent was also very good. All the talents that she had chosen so far have all been doing extremely well.

“I do not know. I love acting and I want to stand at the top again someday. But that does not mean that I can not also work on my companies as well. I will just need to hire an assistant like Fang De who I can give orders to and have them take care of the rest.” Lin Xiaoxiao said seriously. Since she had this idea on making these companies she realized the more involved she got with it the more fun she was having. She was having fun with all the planning and structuring on how things would work with the companies and coming up with new ideas to make more money or ways to save money. But she also loved acting as well so she was at a crossroads at this time. But she still had plenty of time to figure out what she wanted to do since she wasn’t going to be taking on any acting jobs any time soon.

“Alright. Whatever you decided just remember I will always be here to back you up. Anything you need, you can ask me.” Shen Xing said as he held Lin Xiaoxiao’s hand.

“Un… I know. Come, let’s go pick out designs for the rest of the floors. I want to utilize as much space as I can. Oh, we also need to think of soundproofing as well.” Lin Xiaoxiao said excitedly as she pulled Shen Xing along with her back upstairs.

As they got back to the first floor Lin Xiaoxiao phone started ringing. “Hello Ruru?”

“Lily! W-What do I do!? I-I’m pregnant!” Little Bo’s anxious voice sounded out over the phone.

Lin Xiaoxiao froze for a second while Little Bo’s words finally made contact with her brain. Her eyes went wide as she screamed out: “What!?”
