The walk back to the dorms was quite peaceful, with Wen Jiexi wanting to lead them through a

shortcut. However, it was the woman with the mask and sunglasses who was leading instead. It
seems that this woman was very familiar with the neighborhood around her. Wen Jiexi only
remembered a few fuzzy directions and compared to the woman, she seemed like the
outsider. 

“Jiexi, how old are you now? How come you don’t even know the roads leading to your
school?” Lin Yunxi laughed. Who would’ve thought that the smart and sharp looking Wen Jiexi
was actually directionally challenged? 

“I just became a sophomore today and previously because of my poor health I would only go to
three buildings: the library, dormitory, or the tutor center. I rarely would go outside.” Wen Jiexi
said, feeling embarrassed.

“Poor health? Really? I would’ve never guessed that.” Lin Yunxi felt shocked. Even Su Chenyu,
who was quietly leading the way, looked back at her in surprise. After all, a girl who can kick so
accurately and powerfully was actually a sickly person before. It was really hard to believe. 

“It’s true! Before I…” Wen Jiexi felt a little helpless and could only briefly tell the two about her
previous experiences as they entered the school dorms. The aunt who managed the dorms was
having a meal and she had a small tv set up as she watched a variety show. Occasionally she
would look up at the students coming in, just in case any boys tried to sneak in. 

She glanced at the two women behind Wen Jiexi, and looked them up and down a few times,
especially that woman in mask and sunglasses. Their figures looked familiar, so she didn’t think
too much of it. Wen Jiexi would often bring a doctor or nurse with her, and they would wear
similar disguises. 

Letting out a breath as the aunt waved them through, Wen Jiexi guided them up the stairs to
her room. She opened the door, 

“Come on in.”

“Thank you.” Su Chenyu nodded and stepped forward with Lin Yunxi following behind. Seeing
them enter, Wen Jiexi looked around to confirm no one saw them before closing the door. For
some reason, she felt that if the woman in front of her was recognized, things would get
troublesome. 
“Sit anywhere you want, you can even sit on the bed.” Wen Jiexi saw the two standing
awkwardly and said quickly. There were a few mats in their dorm and a small coffee table lying
between the two beds that they used to greet guests. 

“Whaaaaa, Jiiexi, your school’s dorms are really amazing.” Lin Yunxi turned to stare at her
surroundings and then remembered her own four person dorm when she was in college. Her
desk was too small for her to write on, and she would be constantly bumping into
someone. Compared to this, mine was a pigsty…cough….accidently cursed myself there…

“Haha, this is one of the things our school prides itself on. In fact, many choose this school
because of the dorms.” Wen Jiexi walked out of the kitchen, bringing a tray with cups of tea on
it. She set the tray down on the table. 

“Come drink some tea, you two must be parched from all that running. Be careful it’s hot. Oh,
and you can remove your mask and sunglasses if you want. No one else will be coming except
for my roommate.”

Lin Yunxi had already fully revealed her face, but this woman was still fully covered up, making
Wen Jiexi feel a little confused. She can only assure her that no one else was coming, so the
woman wouldn’t have to worry. 

“I understand.” Su Chenyu nodded and took off her mask and sunglasses. With this one move,
she exposed her delicate and stunning face.

Wuooooo, Sister Cu has revealed herself! Lin Yunxi looked expectantly at Wen Jiexi, but the
other person didn’t exclaim or shout like she expected. None of the usual excitement showed
on her face like people usually had when they see the film princess. Instead, there was a slight
frown, her brows furrowed. 

“You look really familiar…..Have I met you somewhere before?” Wen Jiexi scratched her head.
This gorgeous beauty in front of her looked so familiar, where has she seen her??

“Is that so? Your mind is probably playing tricks on you.” Su Chenyu picked up a cup, lightly
blew on it and sipped it. En, not bitter, it’s actually sweet. This is good tea. 

“Really?” Wen Jiexi grabbed some snacks from the box next to her and placed them on the
table. She accidentally noticed a flash of light. Was that coming from the eyes of the beauty? It
seems like she’s looking at the snacks in my hand? Is it another illusion? 
The Lin Yunxi who felt somewhat excluded: “….” Little Su, is it good to lie to someone like this?
This person is the final boss’ beloved little sister! Furthermore, your foodie side is coming out
again, please act more restrained! 

Completely unaware of the gaze directed at her from her own assistant, Su Chenyu politely
thanked Wen Jiexi and then opened the packet of cookies. Ah, the cookies are delicious.  

Even the confused Wen Jiexi could see Su Chenyu’s satisfied expression. Glancing at her, it was
like feeding a cat. Lin Yunxi silently covered her face, this is too much, and stood up.

“Jiexi, can I borrow your bathroom? I want to take a shower.” Lin Yunxi glanced down at her
body. Earlier, when she fell on the ground, she got covered in dirt and gravel. Even if she wasn’t
a clean freak, it still didn’t mean that she can tolerate being this dirty.

Wen Jiexi thought about it, stood up, and grabbed a light tracksuit from her closet, 

“If you don’t mind, you can wear this. After all, why take a shower if you’re going to wear those
dirty clothes again. However, you’re going to have to wear your own underwear.” Wen Jiexi
looked down at Lin Yunxi’s chest, which was at least two cup sizes larger than her own, and
sighed. I’m not small, I can be considered normal among others! But why is it in front of Sister
Lin’s mine that it seems like two little buns instead? This is not scientific?!!

If she didn’t compare the two, then there would’ve been no harm, but Wen Jiexi’s heart was
instead filled with resentment. And then she looked over at the beautiful lady who was eating
her cookies quietly. Finding that the woman’s chest wasn’t small either, and could even be
bigger than Sister Lin’s, felt even more sullen. However, she was caught by the beautiful
woman’s meaningful gaze. A quick-witted person, her voyeurism was caught almost
immediately. Wen Jiexi’s ears turned red and she quickly turned to give Lin  Yunxi her clothes. 

“Here you go, please don’t be polite and go ahead and use them.” After spending more than a
year in the entertainment industry, although her eyes were not as sensitive as Sister Wang’s or
as sharp as Su Chenyu, Lin Yunxi was still able to pick up on Wen Jiexi’s expression. Please,
there are only three people here. Su Chenyu, that oddity, one can just leave out but, ahhh, Wen
Jiexi is so cute! Look at those blushing ears! How cute!!! Such a cute little sister, I want a dozen
more like her! Oh, now I know why the final boss is a sis-con.

“Hehe, thank you Jiexi! Come over and give your big sister a kiss!” Saying so, she reached over
to hug Wen Jiexi, but Wen Jiexi jumped out of the way. Now, not only was her ears red, her
face was flushed red to now! She started to laugh, but then Su Chenyu glanced over, and the
laughter immediately stopped. Lin Yunxi hurriedly carried her clothes to the bathroom,
wondering why she felt killing intent in that gaze. 

Since Lin Yunxi left, the atmosphere turned even more awkward. Su Chenyu was naturally
neither a cold or hot person, but alway kept a neutral expression on her face. She quietly ate
her cookies, faint chomping sounds ringing out as she ate another packet’s worth. She glanced
subtly at Wen Jiexi. Thinking of this girl’s initial reaction to Lin Yunxi, she deduced that this girl
was the one who helped find Big White. Beautiful and strong, she fit Lin Yunxi’s description.

Meanwhile, Wen Jiexi had her head lowered, fiddling with her fingers as she didn’t know what
to say. She got caught peeping at the other person’s chest, so no matter what she thought of,
she couldn’t say anything. She was at a loss. On the other hand, Dango rolled around on Wen
Jiexi’s bed twice and then took out its phone and started playing games. Completely ignoring
the situation, and even if Dango did care, Dango wouldn’t be able to help. Ai….Little Meng!
Quickly come back and save me!

“You were the girl who helped Yunxi find Big White, right?” In this silent room, finally Su
Chenyu made the first move, her cold voice sounding out, surprising Wen Jiexi. 

“Eh….yes, Sister Lin looked very anxious at the time and since I wasn’t doing anything, I decided
to help her.” 

“So that’s how it was. Either way, I wish to thank you. Big White is very important to me.” u
Chen said with a smile, nodded to Wen Jiexi, and then stuffed another cookie into her mouth. 

Looking at the empty bags on the table, Wen Jiex wondered, Did she not eat dinner? But if she’s
talking to me at least she’s not angry, 

“Um, let’s watch some tv. It’s not like we have anything to do anyways.” Seeing Su Chenyu nod,
Wen Jiexi quickly turned on the TV. What appeared on the screen was a period drama, one of
the more popular ones. It’s called 「The Emperor’s Resentment」It tells the story about the
seemingly glimmering inner palace, but also the hidden darkness within it. The plot was good,
but the biggest reason for the high rating was because of the female lead who was none other
than the film princess, Su Chenyu. Li Lingmeng’s wallpaper image on her phone was of Su
Chenyu from this drama. 

“Do you like watching this show?” Su Chenyu asked. 

“Oh, well, my roommate was watching this yesterday. She’s crazy for Su Chenyu to the point
where she watches her shows every day. If it wasn’t for what happened today, she probably
will be watching it right now.” Wen Jiexi said embarrassedly. In this show, Su Chenyu plays the
empress, and looking at her delicate face, she really seemed like some straight out of the
ancient textbooks. The acting was really good too, but how come this woman is looking more
and more like the gorgeous beauty beside her….

Wen Jiexi looked back and forth, feeling she had discovered something amazing. This…this….the
film princess is in my dorm?!!!

Just as she was about to ask…Bang…..the door opened and Li Lingmeng’s energetic voice
sounded, followed by the smell of takeout,

“Little Xi, I’m back! Look at all the food I bought, let’s have an all-nighter tonight!”

Li Lingmeng rushed in happily, carrying a lot of plastic bags with hot food in her hands,  and a
large bag slung across her shoulder which seemed to hold a bunch of dry food. Running off her
high, she was about to list the food she had bought. Then seeing the person with their back
facing her, she asked,

“Oh? Little Xi is this your friend?”

“Yeah…I guess you can say that. Anyhow, why did you buy so much.” Wen Jiexi didn’t know if
the beauty and her could be considered friends. Although she saved the other, it doesn’t mean
she can be forgiven for peeking earlier and this person is suspected to be….

“Oh, hello, I’m Little Xi’s roommate. You can call me….” Li Lingmeng took off her shoes and
walked over. She started to introduce herself but then saw the beauty’s face,

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!” A piercing scream sounded. 

T/N notes:
Did you notice that the author used the phrase “not scientific” again? The author sure loves
that phrase, huh? (If you didn’t already know, The transmigration missions are not scientific and
this work is by the same author)

Wen Jiexi was frightened by the scream but immediately after, Li Linmeng fell back into Wen
Jiexi’s arms. Then she turned around and grabbed her shoulders and shook her in excitement as
she looked back and forth between Wen Jiexi and Su Chenyu. 

“Little Xi, Ahhhhhh! That’s Su Chenyu, the Su Chenyu, a living goddess right before my eyes!
And she’s your friend? Why didn’t you tell me the goddess and you were friends? Do you even
think of me as your friend anymore, how could you not introduce us! Ah my heart hurts too
much! My goddess Su!!!” 

With the combined screaming and shaking, Wen Jiexi felt like her entire body was about to
crumble apart. Just where did Li Lingmeng get so much strength all of a sudden? It made her
feel dizzy, so one could say Li Linmeng had strong 「combat power」….

“If you keep that up, she’s going to faint.” Su Chenyu glanced at Wen Jiex’s pale face and the
shaking speed that was reaching the level of a motor fan. However, how could she tell that Wen
Jiexi was about to faint? Anyhow, she still reminded the person in question in a timely manner
because Wen Jiexi was still considered to be her savior. Plus, she’s kind of cute. Maybe because
she actually talked to Li Lingmeng, it actually made her more excited. 

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Little Xi! The goddess…she…she talked to me….ah…..” Li Lingmeng then

looked down at her empty hands and then at the Wen Jiexi who had fallen at least a meter
behind her.

Li Lingmeng: “…..” I seem to have performed an extraordinary feat. And in front of my goddess
too!

Su Chenyu: “…..” This fan of mine is a little too excited. Even the little cutie fell.

Wen Jiexi: “…..” I obviously didn’t do anything wrong, but why am I the one who is hurt!

Dango: “…..” What happened? Why did Jiexi fall?

“Little Xi, are you okay?”  Li Lingmeng asked nervously. Would they need to send her to the
hospital?

“I’m fine.” Wen Jiexi scratched the back of her head, but at this moment, another hand grabbed
her hand and pulled her over. Suddenly she felt her hair being brushed to the side, this feeling
causing Wen Jiexi to freeze. 

“En, there doesn’t seem to be any serious injuries.”

“I-I said I was fine.” Wen Jiexi dodged Su Chenyu’s hand and quickly moved over to Li
Lingmeng’s direction. Didn’t everyone say that the film princess is a big iceberg?  Where did this
「Friendly」iceberg come from? Is it a special breed of iceberg?

Su Chenyu obviously could see through Wen Jiexi’s behavior, other than finding it funny, she
didn’t mind it. She was more attracted to the large bags that emitted various aromas across the
table. 

“Ahahah, Goddess Su, come and have a taste. These are all the best snacks and dishes near our
school. I’ll have you know, I ran up and down the entire street to get it.” Li Lingmeng said in
excitement. Her moment of impulse was not in vain! She was able to meet her goddess and
curry favor with the other party! 

Rushing into the kitchen, she took out a clean set of tableware and began placing the food onto
the table, explaining each one as she did so. 

“This is the famous Lee’s Chicken Steak near the dry cleaner’s place, Little Wang’s spiced
snacks, chicken wings from the store next to the noodle shop, skewers from Long’s stall, spicy
hot tofu soup, crayfish, oden….and this large pot of pork ball soup and this pitcher of
lemonade.” 

In the blink of an eye, the table was full of different dishes. As Wen Jiexi listened to Li Lingmeng
continue, she felt dazed. Is this for a farm full of pugs? She felt that even if she had a whole
night to eat them, she wouldn’t be able to. A dozen or so plates, wouldn’t you get diarrhea
from so much?

“Come, Goddess, don’t be polite and eat your fill!”

And so, Wen Jiexi watched with a blank expression as the elegant and beautiful goddess made
the civilian dishes seem like top class cuisine. The dishes on the table disappeared at a rapid
rate, while Li Lingmeng’s mouth never stopped as she narrated the story of Su Chenyu, from
her debut to now. She even added a few phrases of worship here and there. Wen Jiexi couldn’t
help but admire Li Lingmeng’s eloquence when prasing. During this combination of speed
eating and non stop talking, Lin Yunxi was still in the bathroom.

Currently, Lin Yunxi was wiping down her head. Earlier, when she was undressing, she had
heard the sudden loud scream. Her immediate reaction was to rush towards the scene, but as
she put her hand on the doorknob, she remembered she was completely naked. If she wanted
to rush out, wouldn’t she have to put those dirty clothes on again? That made her feel more
exhausted. 

Now that she thought it through, it was probably just Jiexi’s roommate. This was considered the
normal reaction when meeting Little Su and plus with the super strong Wen Jiexi there, even if
she rushed out, she wouldn’t be able to help. It would be better for me to just….take a nice and
relaxing bath… And so she let the nation’s film princess in the hands of a girl she met only
twice. 

When she finally stepped out, multiple aromas rushed up her nose, making her feel confused.
Did she open the door to another world? From the smell alone she could tell there were at least
a dozen dishes or so. What happened while I was in the shower?

Turning her head, she sees the still playing TV and the three people who looked back at her
innocently. Beside the three people were a table stacked with plates of food, almost spilling
over the edge. Are they holding a banquet now? 

The newcomer was also a young girl with a beautiful appearance, but next to Jiexi and Little Su,
her beauty was slightly suppressed. But that bright smile full of endless vitality was something
Jiexi and Little Su could not produce. Looking at the full picture, she was indeed not bad. Tsk,
how come I meet beautiful women wherever I go? Have I recently become popular or
something? 

“Sister Lin, what are you standing around for? Come sit down with us.” Wen Jiexi quickly pulled
another cushion out and placed it beside her. Stuck between a chatterbox and glutton, she felt
a headache coming. Now that Lin Yunxi is here, she was saved! Of course, she would never
admit the reason she set the cushion beside her was to block the heated gaze that kept coming
from the other person beside her. Yup, no way! 
However, her hidden thoughts were seen through immediately by the other. Su Chenyu
nonchalantly pushed the cushion Wen Jiexi pulled out to her side and then moved closer to
Wen Jiexi so that her body was almost sticking onto Wen Jiexi’s. 

Wen Jiexi’s eyes widened: “!!!!” Why?!!

“Come on over, you are….Goddess Su’s assistant, Assistant Lin! Ah, I haven’t introduced myself!
I’m Little Xi’s roommate, my name is Li Lingmeng.” Li Lingmeng didn’t notice the peril Wen Jiexi
was in and the nervousness emanating from her. Neither did she feel confused at Lin Yunxi’s
sudden appearance. After all, it would be even more weird if Goddess Su was here alone. 

“My name is Wen Jiexi, please take care of me.” Seeing Li Lingmeng’s magnanimous self-
introduction, Wen Jiexi could not do the same and nodded at the two. However, Sister Lin
already knew her name, so it didn’t matter.

Wuhohoho! Little Su, the big boss’s little sister has revealed her name! Quickly, charge! Use your
beauty to capture her heart and we’ll be rolling in the money! Lin Yunxi’s inner villain roared,
and at the same time she frowned at Su Chenyu. Unfortunately, Su Chenyu’s eyes were not on
her, nor did she have telepathy so she completely brushed past whatever signals Lin Yunxi sent
her way. After all, the two of them have only been working for a little more than a year….their
relationship was not at that level yet….

“Jiexi huh? That’s a good name.” Su Chenyu nodded. 

“T-Thanks…”Wen Jiexi’s face turned slightly red as she bowed her head. Strange, this was the
first time she was meeting this woman. Why was she so nervous? Maybe because she’s a
famous celebrity? 

“Sister Lin, is it fine if I call you Sister Lin like Little Xi?” Li Lingmeng asked Lin Yunxi. 

“Of course you can…” Lin Yunxi said weakly, winking furiously at Su Chenyu, her eyes starting to
cramp. However, Su Chenyu still didn’t notice. Little Su, look at your pitiful and cute little
assistant sitting next to you! I can’t give up! For Little Su’ future I’ll keep blinking,blinking, and
more blinking! Little Su look at me, look at me, LOOK AT ME! 

But in the end, Lin Yunxi’s words could not be conveyed but the Li Lingmeng in front of her
looked at her strangely and asked, 
“Sister Lin, does your eyes hurt? Why do you keep blinking? Do you need me to grab some
eyedrops for you?”

From those words, as expected, Su Chenyu’s eyes looked over, but now everyone’s eyes were
on her. Lin Yunxi felt like crying but no tears came out. What do I do know? What should I say?
How can I tell Little Su that she should seduce the big boss’s little sister? I’m afraid I’ll be labeled
as a crazy person instead…

Ding! Ding! Ding! Suddenly Ling Yunxi’s phone lit up with the words ‘Sister Wang’ flashing
across it. 

Ahhhhh! I’m finished! I forgot to report back to Sister Wang! Lin Yunxi looked pitfully at Su
Chenyu, holding up her phone. 

“Pick it up outside.” Su Chenyu pointed at the small balcony behind them. 

Lin Yunxi: QAQ 

“Is Sister Lin okay? She looked really nervous just now.” Li Lingmeng glanced at Lin Yunxi
standing on the balcony, with her back slightly vowed. The way she moved so cautiously, it
made it seem like Lin Yunxi was talking to a human but a terrible monster instead. 

“It’s nothing, she’s talking with my agent.” Su Chenyu said lightly. 

“Ahhh! You mean Wang Anyi, that five-star, golden agent?!” Li Lingmeng squealed, her eyes
filled with worship. 

If Su Chenyu was a legend among artists, then Wang Yi can be considered a legend among
agents. At the age of twenty, she made a name for herself. With her sharp and extremely
accurate intuition, whoever enters her eyes, will definitely become a second-tier artist, at the
very least. However, most of her artists were even better than that, and always swept the floor
with awards. Her networking and vision was something admired by both artists and agents. 

Also, she had a very important criteria when picking artists. Her artist must never degrade
themselves to sleep with executives in order to get a role. Although drinking is a must in the
entertainment industry, if the artist climbs into someone’s bed, sorry, but you can directly go to
another agent. In Wang Anyi’s opinion, any artist who does so is insulting her ability. Because of
this, none of her artists were part of any large scandals. She even managed their personal life
very strictly. So one can say, the artist reflects the agent. If the agent is clean, the artist will be
so too. 

Before, Wang Anyi managed several different artists but she let go of most of them roughly five
years ago and concentrated on grooming Su Chenyu. Su Chenyu’s current fame, other than her
own hard work and talent, this agent opened up many different paths for her.  

And so, Lin Yunxi miserably hung up the phone and walked in. The moment she walked in, she
saw Li Lingmeng who continued to talk wildly, Su Chenyu who nodded for one moment, and the
Wen Jiexi who obediently ate her food in silence. None of them got up to comfort her. 

Lin Yunxi: None of you care about me! QAQ

Wang Anyi hung up the phone with a cold expression on her face and walked out of the police
station. Feeling a headache coming on, she wearily rubbed her temples. 

Earlier, when she had received Lin Yunxi’s report during the chase, suddenly a large group of
Little Su’s fans came out of nowhere. They didn’t know who leaked the news, but she suspected
that it was the certain pervert they were trying to apprehend. If it wasn’t for her quick reactions
and directions, they would’ve been surrounded. If the fans knew that the only people in the car
were the agent and driver, but not Little Su, it would’ve caused a riot to break out. Then they
would block roads and start searching for their idol, which naturally would’ve caused even
more trouble. 

With the news out, she could only hope to at least repair some of the damage. So she thought
about it, and then pretending to be Little Su, she posted a photo of the school on her Weibo.
Under it, she wrote that because she, Su Chenyu, was feeling nostalgic, so that’s why she was
visiting her school and its surroundings.

The moment she posted the picture, countless comments replied popped up. However, Wang
Anyi didn’t bother reading them. After all, this happened everytime and Little Su insisted on
reading the comments herself, saying that they gave her inspiration or something. On the other
hand, Wang Anyi didn’t care, as long as the comments weren’t too vulgar, she was fine with
them.
After turning a few circles to shake off the fans, they had arrived at the narrow alley. The
bodyguards already had the person tied up and without saying anything, they put the person
into the trunk and drove to the police station. With the person in question and the evidence
they had, it wasn’t hard to convince the police to arrest the man. 

But when the police looked up the man’s identity, they found that this tall and thin man was a
17-year-old who was not even an adult yet. They had mistaken him as an adult because his face
was covered and his height was one of a grown man’s. 

Since he was underage, they couldn’t put him in custody nor give him a sentence. However, if
one thought about it for a second, the letters started showing up around six years ago. That
meant, the boy had to be eleven years old when this all started. Such a young boy couldn’t do
something like this for six years. Furthermore, after the boy woke up, Wang Anyi took one look
at his confused expression and knew they had the wrong person. Therefore, they couldn’t do
anything but hand him over to the police for further questioning. 

So regarding all those strange situations and letters, Wang Anyi could only helplessly return to
the car and quickly leave before anyone takes a photo of them. 

Sitting in the car, she felt quite annoyed at Lin Yunxi for not reporting to her afterward. She had
to call her before she learned they were actually hiding in the university. When she heard this,
she got even angrier.

What kind of place is the university? A place full of young and hot-headed kids! If they were
found out, the consequences would be unthinkable! Furthermore, how many Su Chenyu fans
are there among those kids? If you randomly pulled out 10 students, all of them would be a fan!
If they get surrounded it would be hard to break out and they actually dared to hide in a place
like that!

Standing in front of the dorms, the time was around 10 pm, but the curfew should be 11 pm.
Therefore, there were not many students going in or out. Wang Anyi covered her face with a
mask and walked up to the window where the Auntie in charge was working.

“Excuse me, but I need to go to room 366.”

“Go ahead.” The Auntie glanced at Wang Anyi for a moment and then waved her hand to let
her through. 
Eh…it’s that easy?! Isn’t the security here a little too relaxed? Wang Anyi felt a little shocked,
but in the next moment she saw Auntie’s eyes narrow and her hand slammed the table fiercely.
The Auntie lifted the megaphone next to her and roared furiously at the boys trying to sneak in
by using the bushes as cover,

“You rascals over there! Are you asking for trouble! If you boys want to get in here so badly,
prepare for me to send you all the way to Thailand! Every day it’s the same thing, don’t you get
bored of it?!! You bastards, don’t think I don’t know who you are! Go home and write a
thousand-page essay, reflect on your actions! I expect it on my desk tomorrow!” Watching the
boys scatter like mice, the Auntie tsked and then said, 

“Hmph, although I’m older now, my eyes still haven’t gone bad! This old woman’s vision is still
20/20 and after thirty years, not a single male has entered these halls! Do they think all these
years of work are worth nothing?!” She then looked at Wang Anyi still standing next to her, 

“Miss, what’s wrong? Why haven’t you gone in yet?”

“Ah? Y-Yes….” Wang Anyi nodded, throwing away all her doubts. It seems I was disrespectful…
you really can’t judge a person by their appearance. As an agent, I made a grave mistake. 

Walking to the room that Lin Yunxi mentioned, Wang Anyi passed by many students, but none
of them paid much attention to her. After all, as an agent, she was trained to reduce attention
towards her. The way of the perfect agent was to be as low-key as possible. 

She knocked gently on the door. 

“Who is it?” Coming out of the bathroom, Li Lingmeng opened the door and saw a masked lady
standing outside, someone that seemed very capable. With just one glance, she could guess
who this is.

“Please come in.” 

“Thanks.” Wang Anyi nodded and walked in. 

“Hahahaha….” Laughing like she didn’t care about her image, Lin Yunxi was eating skewers
while pointing at the TV. A variety show was playing and she laughed wildly at the comedian on
stage. Next to her was a small table with a pile of empty plates stacked upon each other.
Looking at the numerous different types, Wang Anyi could tell that the food was meant for
many more people than the one present. Little Su, did you find another fellow foodie? They
really can eat. 

Then she turned to look at the person in question. Su Chenyu was gently stroking a girl’s head,
causing her to widen her eyes in shock. Su Chenyu didn’t like to interact with strangers, but why
did she like this girl so much? What happened while I was away?

“Hahaha….cough! Sister Wang….” Lin Yunxi turned around to see an extra person in the room
and almost choked on the meat in her mouth. She coughed multiple times while vigorously
pounding her chest. 

“H-hello…” Seeing someone new enter, Wen Jiexi took this chance to hurry away from Su
Chenyu’s hand and picked up the remote to turn down the TV’s volume. 

“Hello, thank you for taking care of Little Su and Yunxi.” Wang Anyi peeled off her mask and
smiled at Wen Jiexi. At the same time, she quickly looked the girl up and down and realized that
this girl’s beauty was on par with Su Chenyu. The appearance and figure both were pretty good,
except the chest area was a little small…

Wen Jiexi: “…..” Why do I feel so miserable all of a sudden….

“Sister Wang, you’ve finally arrived.” Su Chenyu didn’t say anything about Wen Jiexi dodging
her hand, her expression still the same as she withdrew her hand and nodded at Wang Anyi. 

“Even if I didn’t come, it seems like you two would’ve been fine staying here?” Wang Anyi rolled
her eyes, thinking about how she was working so hard cleaning everything up, but these two
were eating and having fun here.

“Hahaha, Sister Wang, how can that be? We’ve been eagerly waiting for you to pick us up.” Lin
Yunxi laughed awkwardly. 

“Heh, you were waiting for me? Really? But someone forgot to call me and tell me where their
location was.” Upon hearing Lin Yunxi’s unapologetic expression, Wang Anyi felt annoyed and
walked over. She then proceeded to roughly rub Lin Yunxi’s head and mess up her hair.

Lin Yunxi: Wuwuwuwuwu….
“Sister Wang, feel free to sit down and eat something. If this isn’t enough for you, we still have
some cookies left.” Li Lingmeng walked over with a smile while holding a bag they haven’t
opened yet. She dumped out the contents and out came packs of potato chips, cookies, dried
squid, jerky, spick snacks, and other salty goods. There were even a dozen lollipops, jelly, fudge,
etc.

“Uh…no need, I can just eat what’s left over.” Wang Anyi glanced at the large portion of food
sitting next to her. She didn’t mind picking up a bunch of skewers and eating them directly. She
had been working all night and hadn’t eaten dinner yet, so of course she was hungry. And since
if even Little Su ate it, she couldn’t be picky. 

The originally good at communication Wang Anyi and the talkative Li Lingmeng quickly entered
a conversation together. Eventually, Lin Yunxi who was scolded by Wang Anyi also joined them,
leaving Wen Jiexi on the other side to watch the three of them in amusement. Today was pretty
exciting. I never thought I’d meet such a famous celebrity and even get to know them.
Previously I thought she was someone I would never even see in person and yet she is sitting
next to me. It’s like something straight from a drama. It was only later that Wen Jiexi would
understand how this fateful event would affect her future. 

Turning around, she glanced at the film princess who sat on the bed. Su Chenyu did not
participate in the conversations and instead was reading a book while she sat on the bed. Wen
Jiexi didn’t know if it was a book for casual reading or a script for a film, but Su Chenyu quietly
read it. The aura surrounding her did not conflict with the noisy atmosphere around her but
instead made Su Chenyu pop out more. Wen Jiexi felt a little stunned looking at her, she had
never met a person like Su Chenyu who seemed so…special. 

“What are you looking at?” A voice ringed out and Wen Jiexi shook herself out of her daze. She
didn’t know when it had happened, but Su Chenyu’s eyes were now focused on her. Feeling
embarrassed, Wen Jiexi lowered her head and whispered,

“N-nothing..sorry to bother you.”

“Is that so? Hmm…are you interested in films?” Su Chenyu gently closed the book in her hand
and waved it in front of Wen Jiexi. This was a script given to her for a film she would be taking
part in the day after tomorrow. 

“I wouldn’t say I’m interested. I’ve watched a few dramas with Little Meng before, and I’ve
always felt surprised that they weren’t as boring as I thought. The plot and characters create a
realistic feeling that makes you feel as if you were in the drama yourself, a very novel
experience.” Wen Jiexi thought about it and smiled. 

“Do you want to enter the entertainment industry?” Su Chenyu asked, her eyebrows raised.

“Enter the industry?” Wen Jiexi froze, then shook her head,

“No, I’ve never thought of doing something like that.”

Although all young people had dreamt of being a star and standing on the stage, she had never
had this dream. First, it’s because she knew that one had to possess a certain talent to enter
the industry. Second, they also need to have the luck to land a good role the moment they
enter. With such high hurdles to jump over, achieving the dream of being a superstar was close
to impossible. Furthermore, so many young boys and girls enter the industry but only a few
ever make it to stardom while most fail. In fact, after they enter, most can never return to their
normal lives and are reduced to nameless actors and actresses, forever forced into the roles of
extras. 

Wen Jiexi understood that life was full of surprises and unexpected events, but she only wanted
to live a steady and stable life, one where her family didn’t have to worry about her. Although
she possessed good looks, who would want a profession where they can fall from grace
instantly and where others fight for limited spots? Wasn’t that just asking for trouble?

This was how she thought of the industry, and even if her circumstances have changed, she
wouldn’t suddenly change her previous stance. Therefore, she could only shake her head at Su
Chenyu’s question.

“Everyone had at least once in their life wanted to stand on the stage of stardom, and yet you
don’t want any of that. Admirable, but remember, don’t let yourself be held back by the what-
ifs. Sometimes it’s a good idea to take a look into a different world. Who knows, maybe you’ll
see something there you’ve never expected before.” Su Chenyu placed the script back into her
bag as she said those words and stood without waiting for Wen Jiexi’s reply. 

“It’s time for us to say goodbye. Thank you for your help and hospitality. If you need anything
from us in the fire, don’t hesitate to contact us.” Saying so, Su Chenyu scribed down her
personal phone number on a piece of paper lying on the table and then led Wang Anyi and Lin
Yunxi out the door.
Li Lingmeng walked the three to the door, her expression full of reluctance. Wen Jiexi stared at
the leaving people in a daze, her ears filled with the last words Su Chenyu had whispered into
her ears,

“I hope you’ll at least think about my suggestion. If you do, maybe we will meet again one
day.” 

…..I will see her again? Wen Jiexi was at a loss. 

Today, if you walked into the Xingle company’s headquarters, you would feel a tense
atmosphere. A depressing atmosphere that hid a deep rage that was about to break out at any
moment, causing everyone there to work silently and obediently. So what was the cause of this
atmosphere?

The big boss, Wen Linshu, told the front desk first thing in the morning in a very angry tone:
when Su Chenyu arrives, direct her immediately to his office. 

After he left, the entire company fell into chaos. Did Goddess Su do something to make the big
boss angry? But weren’t the two of them friends? They were fine just yesterday, why is the
President going berserk now? 

Could it be some sort of unspeakable scandal?!!

Everyone gathered together to whisper in gossipy tones. However, they didn’t dare talk too
loudly. After all, one is the pillar of the company and the other is the ruler of the company. If
they were overheard by those two, the consequences were unimaginable! But, that still
couldn’t stop them from whispering among themselves in private. After all, this is big news!

Later, Su Chenyu, Wang Anyi, and Lin Yunxi all walked in together. Originally they were with the
crew and finishing a film. Since Su Chenyu’s acting was flawless, they were making good
progress and actually finished the part early today. However, when they were about to return
home, Wen Linshu had called them in for a ‘talk’.

When they entered, the three of them could feel the unusual atmosphere in the air, but they
didn’t show any reactions. Su Chenyu never cared about anything she wasn’t interested in and
Wang Anyi merely swept her gaze around the room. At the same time, however, she began to
go over Su Chenyu’s recent schedule and all the people she came in contact with. Wang Anyi
couldn’t find any problem, so then, she concluded, it must be a private matter. However, what
could it be? She remembered that Little Su and the President only ever talked about her
schedule. Everything else, like which film she wanted to take on, she can choose herself. Every
decision was made by Little Su, the President never interfered. 

Lin Yunxi, on the other hand, felt a little uneasy and had a bad feeling in her gut. It couldn’t be
that the big boss found out about the meeting between Little Su and Jiexi, right? Thinking about
this…it was quite possible…wait what if the boss thought it was because I leaked out the secret
to Little Su? In her heart, she prayed furiously that it was not about this!

“Miss Su, the President said that you should meet him in his office immediately.” The
receptionist at the front desk cautiously approached Su Chenyu and politely delivered her
message. 

“Thank you, I understand.” Su Chenyu nodded lightly and walked towards the elevators. A
golden card appeared in her hand as she inserted into the scanner of a small elevator. The door
opened, and Su Chenyu led the way. 

There were many different types of elevators in the Xingle Company. One was for employees
and the other for not so popular stars. Then there was one other type, the one that Su Chenyu
was taking right now. It was an elevator only used by the big shots, the executives, the
President, and other big stars who were the pillars of the company. To use it, one must have a
special key. The golden card in Su Chenyu’s hands was the key. In addition to this golden card,
there were five other golden cards and a dozen silver cards, with the President possessing a
special black card. For the people who worked at Xingle, other than the conveniences of using a
personal elevator, the card also symbolized one’s identity and the benefits they received. To get
one of these cards, they would ruthlessly step on their fellow peers to climb up that corporate
ladder.  

Anyhow, within moments, the elevator opened up into the uppermost floor. Su Chenyu walked
out slowly without hurry. Half of the floor was Wen Linshu’s office and to show how big the
space is, the secretary had her own office behind a glass wall where she can see who enters
from the elevator. 

Su Chenyu saw that Wen Linshu’s secretary, Long Huiguang was sorting through some files, her
eyes subtly glancing at the door behind her. However, feeling the presence of someone else,
her eyes quickly shifted to see Su Chenyu and the others. Seeing this, Long Huiguang quickly
stood up and opened the glass door. 
“Terribly sorry to have made you wait, Miss Su. Please, go in, he’s waiting for you. Ah, but Miss
Wang and Miss Lin, please wait in the other room, the President wants to speak privately to
Miss Su.” 

“Little Long, do you know what the President wants with Little Su?” Wang Anyi asked with a
slight frown. 

“No, I’m sorry Sister Wang. The President kept to himself today, holed up in his office. He only
told me to pass on the message.” Long Huiguan waved her hand with a bitter smile.

“I see…” Wang Anyi nodded helplessly and then said to Su Chenyu, 

“You should go in then, but be careful.”

“En…” Su Chenyu knocked on the door and then walked into the office.

“Little Long, you should go back to your work, we’ll wait here.” Wang Anyi said to Long
Huiguan. 

“Alright, I’ll do so, but rest assured, Little Su will be okay.” Long Huiguang scratched her head
and smiled. She also had her own job to do, so she was unable to accompany the two here, and
could only comfort them with a few words. However, she believed that the President would not
mistreat Little Su. After all, she is the company’s money tree and the face of the company. Even
if the President was dissatisfied with her, he will still treat her with some level of restraint. 

“I hope so.” Wang Anyi sighed. She looked puzzlingly at Lin Yunxi, who was glancing at the boss’
office from time to time. Seeing Long Huiguan returning to her work, she walked over to Lin
Yunxi,

“Yunxi, what are you looking at?”

“Ahhhh?! Sister…Sister Wang…I, uh….it’s nothing, I’m just worried about Little Su.” Lin Yunxi
smiled with a guilty expression on her face and a look of discomfort in her eyes. Seeing this
expression, Wang Anyi narrowed her eyes,

“Yunxi, do you know something about what’s going on?”

After hearing Wang Anyi ask this question, Lin Yunxi laughed nervously, 

“Sister Wang, what are you talking about? I’m just worried about Little Su.”

“Is that so….” Wang Anyi quietly observed Lin Yunxi’s expression. The worry on her face
couldn’t be faked, so she could only let it go. She then leaned against the wall, her arms crossed
as she looked at the door. 

Lin Yunxi watched Sister Wang’s movements from the corner of her eyes and breathed out a
sigh of relief. Inwardly, she was praying, Boss, oh Boss, I didn’t tell anyone! Please investigate
thoroughly, don’t take out your anger on Little Su!

In the office, the atmosphere was different from the tension and chaos outside, instead, it was
extremely quiet. Too quiet. Su Chenyu didn’t mind the strange atmosphere at all and walked
indifferently to the sofa, sat down without speaking, and quietly took out her script and began
to read through it. 

Naturally, Wen Linshu knew that Su Chenyu had come. However, he deliberately bowed his
head and ignored her. Hmph! This president will treat you coldly and let you taste my silent
treatment. I dare you to get angry with me!

However, the result was not what he expected. Su Chenyu had sat on the sofa and started
reading while ignoring him……he was the one being ignored??!!!!

Bear with it, endure…I can’t endure it anymore! Wen Linshu stood and in big strides walked
directly towards Su Chenyu. Pointing a finger at her, he started, 

“Su Chenyu! Do you have nothing to say to me?” 

“What does the President want me to say?” Su Chenyu’s eyebrows slightly raised. What is this
foolish man going crazy about this time? 

Not knowing that he has been assigned the title of ‘foolish man’ in Su Chenyu’s heart, Wen
Linshu jumped up angrily. Why was he like this? 

Going back a few days earlier, his little sister had come back for another holiday and he had
purposely left early, his heart filled with joy to see his cute little sister. He wanted to ask her
about her college life and listen to her interesting stories as her face lights up with happiness.
For him, this was the source of his energy and motivation that would sustain him through his
work for an entire week! 

However!! Can anyone tell him why every time his little sister opened her mouth it was Su
Chenyu this, Su Chenyu that? She’s only a woman with a cold iceberg exterior and a somewhat
lively heart on the inside! What is so good about a woman like that? 

If one wanted to talk about the relationship between Su Chenyu and Wen Linshu, one had to go
back to their high school days. They were only classmates at first, the type that were nodding
acquaintances. However, when Wen Linshu turned 18, he inherited his family’s company and
then learned that Su Chenyu would be working for him. Like this, the two worked together for
seven years and were considered good work partners and became friends. 

I regarded you as a friend and yet you dare to lust after my sister?!! I cannot tolerate it! Haven’t
you heard of the saying, a rabbit doesn’t eat the grass by its own burrow? [1] What you are is
an old cow eating tender grass instead! [2] I ask that you please don’t harass my sweet and
naive little sister! 

And so that’s how we ended up here.

Wen Linshu saw that Su Chenyu didn’t have the ‘I admit my wrongdoing’ attitude and blurted
out his inner thoughts, 

“Su Chenyu! You’re already 25 years old, don’t you dare covet my sister! As the older brother, I
must disagree with this!” 

“You have a little sister?” Su Chenyu replied, tilting her head. She has never heard of Wen
Linshu having a little sister. Although they were considered as friends, they didn’t tell each
other much about their family and their other private affairs. And when did she meet his little
sister? From her memories, she didn’t think she had met anybody who was related to Wen
Linshu.

At this point, she suddenly remembered the events a few days ago and the girl who had left her
an unforgettable impression. She had the same Wen surname as him. However, Su Chenyu
looked at the well-dressed man in front of her, who was actually a fool that left people
speechless and then thought about that shy and gentle girl from yesterday. Huh, how are they
brother and sister, they don’t even look like each other. 
If Lin Yunxi knew what Su Chenyu was thinking right now, she would be nodding her head
furiously. Except for their foreheads being a bit similar, how can anyone tell that they are
siblings? However, when they stood next to each other, anyone could tell they were related at
a glance. Such a strange power, was it a Wen family special gene?

“Huh?” Wen Linshu looked at Su Chenyu suspiciously. Did I misunderstand something? Su

Chenyu and his little sister never met? But his little sister never discussed things about the
entertainment industry before? Only after she came back from school did she seem to gain an
interest in this, could it be that her classmates were teaching her some unsavory
things? Wuwuwuwu….my little sister is being corrupted!

“So you called me in today, to discuss that sheltered and well-protected little sister of yours.”
Su Chenyu put down the book in her hands and looked at Wen Linshu with a strange
expression. How come she never figured out that Wen Linshu is a…what it’s called…oh, sis-con!
Well, she only learned he had a sister today so it wasn’t that surprising. 

Being stared down by Su Chenyu, Wen Linshu for some reason felt a little ashamed. However,
he snorted arrogantly and waved his hand, 

“Forget it, it’s nothing, you can go now…ah, wait, this is for you.” Saying so, Wen Linshu picked
up a stack of papers on his table, 

“When you’re done with this film, you can pick out your next one yourself.”

This was the perfect example of one who asks others to work but does nothing himself.
However, Su Chenyu didn’t care, without Wen Linshu micromanaging her every movement, she
had more freedom and felt less restrained in her career choices. She nodded once and then
walked out. 

On the other end, Wen Jiexi, whose brother thought was being corrupted by her classmates,
was sitting in front of the TV with Li Lingmeng. They were watching every movie and drama that
Su Chenyu starred in from the very beginning of her debut to now. After watching a few
movies, Wen Jiexi only now discovered that she really was being held back by her past, by her
old sick self.

Meet you again…Wen Jiexi hugged her legs as she sat there watching the TV. On the TV, Su
Chenyu seemed to give her character life, as if the person she was playing was real. Wen Jiexi
felt like her heart was a tangled mess. Did she want to take this next step? After all, now she
can choose any path she wanted, she didn’t have to choose the entertainment industry, but…if
she was being serious…she really wanted to meet that woman again…

T/N notes:

[1] A rabbit doesn’t eat the grass by its own burrow: One shouldn’t do anything to harm one’s
neighbors.

[2] An old cow eating tender grass: A relationship where the pursuer is older than the other.

After Su Chenyu left that day, Wen Jiexi’s peaceful life remained. She still attended her classes,
studied at the library, ate in the cafeteria and wandered around the school triggering more blue
and even some yellow missions. Her monthly mission was already at the 90% mark and she felt
rather satisfied by this outcome. Finally, she continued to binge-watch the dramas with Li
Lingmeng and of course, practiced her basketball! 

To understand why Wen Jiexi would practice basketball, one had to go back a few days. As a
sophomore, there were many different school activities one could participate in, however, the
basketball tournament was one of the more important events. It was further divided into a
men’s basketball team and a women’s basketball team.

In Wen Jiexi’s grade, although the gender ratio was roughly equal, most of the girls couldn’t be
considered to be basketball players. They could only dribble a bit, but couldn’t shoot the ball, so
making any baskets was a big problem for them. There were only a few who could really play,
but fortunately, there were enough to form a team of five. Not a large number, but it would
suffice. 

During this time, Wen Jiexi completely destroyed everyone’s three views of the world. So
although in name she was still the ‘sick beauty’, with just a wave of the department head’s
hand, Wen Jiexi was able to enter the team. Li Lingmeng was naturally also a member, and the
other three players were from different sports clubs who wanted to play basketball as a second
sport. 
Originally, Wen Jiexi wanted to refuse the offer because she never played basketball before. If
she didn’t understand the rules, wouldn’t she just be causing trouble instead? But Li Lingmeng
showed her a copy of the other players’ info and pointed at the sports clubs they attended. If
you wanted to be nice, you could call them sports clubs, but they were sports not related to
playing with a ball at all. Two of them did swimming, the other one danced, so other than
maybe their physical fitness is better than the regular person, could they even play basketball
with those sports as a background? 

Wen Jiexi thought about it, their department’s team was focused on participation, not winning.
So she nodded and watched as Li Lingmeng rushed to sign them up. The moment she
disappeared from her sight,

“Huh…Jiexi, there’s a yellow mission! A yellow mission with a rich reward has appeared!” Dango
exclaimed. 

Eh? What?

“As long as you finish first in the tournament, you can get 8000 points towards your monthly
mission! As long as you complete this, your golden mission will be done too!” Dango laughed
joyfully. 

8000 points? Wen Jiexi raised her eyebrows. That amount won’t be easy to earn. There were
dozens of different departments in her school and each department must send out at least one
team. If they lost a game, that was it, there was no possibility of a comeback. After all, an
elimination tournament was much faster. She calculated that she needed to win at least six
games to reach the championship. However, the number of games wasn’t a problem. Her
biggest problem is that she didn’t know how to play basketball. Plus, adding on the three other
unreliable teammates, although talking about it was easy, actually winning the championship
was not. Furthermore, don’t forget about the sports department. It wasn’t there just for show,
they were carnivores that devoured the weak. 

If one thought about it, an average yellow task was around 1500 points. Those tasks were easy
and she just needed a few more, she didn’t want to fight to the death. She remembered that
the richer the rewards, the harsher the punishments. Wen Jiexi didn’t want to take any risks,
for if she failed, she would be finished. 

However, it’s a pity that every party will have a pig teammate. Besides her, Dango smiled
happily,
“Jiexi, I saw that the reward was very high so I accepted it for you, hehe!” Dango wore an
expression that seemed to say ‘Praise me! Quickly praise me!’ while looking at Wen Jiexi. In its
mind, as long as there is a yellow task, Wen Jiexi will accept them all and she will definitely
complete it, 100% guaranteed! Dango had the utmost confidence in its contractor so seeing
that rich reward that makes one drool, Dango automatically accepted it. 

“?!” Wen Jiexi’s eyes widened and she stared at Dango, causing Dango’s translucent body to
tremble a little. 

“W-What’s wrong?” Feeling a little uneasy, Dango touched its body with its little arms. This was
Dango’s first time seeing the contractor glare like that. What was wrong? Did Dango do
something wrong? 

“…What is the penalty for failure?” Wen Jiexi took a deep breath to calm down before asking.

“Uh..this…” Dango felt ashamed, actually forgot to look…quickly glanced back at it and then
said drily, 

“Become a female King Kong for two months….”

Wen Jiexi’s expression changed. Heavens! Frightened by her expression, Dango quickly shrunk

into a ball, learning its lesson, never daring to accept a task without asking first next time. 

And that is the reason why she practiced basketball so frantically, just thinking about it caused
her to cry bitter tears. Li Lingmeng also felt strange about the whole thing, why was Wen Jiexi
so enthusiastic about this? She was dragging herself to practice every day and playing like she
was injected with chicken blood. 

And so today….

“Little Xi, pass!” Li Lingmeng quickly passed the ball into Wen Jiexi’s hands. Wen Jiexi grabbed
the ball, broke into a run, and performed a layup. Beep! She scored. 

“Huuuuu….” Wen Jiexi wiped the sweat on her forehead and clapped her hands in a high five
with Li Lingmeng and also nodded at the rest of the team before returning to their positions. 
Around them, a large crowd watched them. After four days of intense competition, they finally
arrived on the day of the championship game. Wen Jiexi’s team was able to make it half
because of luck and half because of their hard work and practice. However, as expected, their
opponents were the carnivorous sports department. Four of their members were part of the
school’s basketball team and the fifth member was equally as good. 

Although they were able to score a lot of points, the gap between them was gradually
widening, causing one to feel anything by reassuring. 

At halftime, Li Lingmeng gulped down her sports drink, wiped her mouth and then looked at the
score. She touched her chin and then asked Wen Jiexi, 

“Eh, Little Xi, do you know what three-pointers are?” 

“Three points?” Wen Jiexi, who was already being harassed by the panicking Dango, felt
somewhat helpless and distressed. She pretended to fix her hair, but she was actually just
patting Dango’s head to tell Dango to be quiet as she looked over at Li Lingmeng. 

They had only practiced a few days before they started the games. Wen Jiexi only understood
the basic rules, even her layups, and other shots were not a guarantee. How can she possibly
make a three-pointer?

“Look, the gap is growing wider, so might as well try it. You’re the one with the most strength
and endurance here. Maybe you’ll get lucky and put in a few, that way our score won’t look too
ugly. If anyone else can make a basket, then just throw it up. If you can’t, then quickly pass. If
we have to then let’s fight it out, don’t let the gap become too big.” Li Lingmeng gathered
everyone and told them her opinion. 

“I don’t mind.” Wen Jiexi waved her hand. A three-pointer was just that, a shot that if she made
it in would score them three points. She knew where the three-point line was, and just because
she hadn’t won didn’t mean she couldn’t win! I can’t fail and hide my face for two months! That
absolutely cannot happen! 

The other three teammates didn’t have any opinions. They wiped their sweat and looked at the
sports department laughing across from them. Their eyes were full of desire to compete.
Originally, they only joined to fill in the required number, but now they had come all this way.
As they continued to climb up the tournament they also began to practice seriously. It seems
that the allure of winning the championship was one that no one could resist. Anyhow, duking
it out to their last breath was nothing.
Beep! The game started again and Wen Jiexi shot the ball. The first time it was too close, the
third time too far, the fifth time it hit the backboard, and finally on the eighth time, as it hit the
rim, Wen Jiexi’s eyes flashed. She had finally found the feeling. 

The girl from the sports department had watched Wen Jiexi’s movements, she was surprised at
first but then quickly disapproved of her strategy. Although making a three-pointer sounded
nice, one had to have no mistake in their posture and if the strength was too little or too much,
there was a great chance of failure. Even those from the school’s basketball team couldn’t
guarantee they’ll make it every time. 

However, they didn’t know that in order to control her body’s enormous strength, Wen Jiexi
practiced every day. In addition to preventing her body from causing damage, she also needs to
make it so that others wouldn’t feel uncomfortable under her touch. That type of precise
control was not something a person from the basketball team could compare. Plus, one
couldn’t forget about her unlimited strength. 

Shuaaa! On the tenth try, the ball flew smoothly in the air and through the net in the most
beautiful arc. 

For a moment, there was silence, and then came the thunderous cheers. In this game, the
number of three-pointers made was few, to say the least, even the sports department hadn’t
made many, so most weren’t optimistic about Wen Jiexi and her ragged team. And because of
this fact, Li Lingmeng and the others’ morale soared. 

Bringing out their full force and taking advantage of the sports department’s shock, they scored
a few more points and the gap in their scores was now only 18 points! 

The sports department finally reacted, and the competition between the two teams became
even more intense, but with Wen Jiexi’s three-pointers, one after another, they were slowly
catching up. 

Shuaa! Another three-pointer! At this point, everyone felt numb towards this phenomenon
while the players from the sports department had their eyes bulging out of their sockets.
Finally, they decided to have two players guard Wen Jiexi. In their eyes, except for Wen Jiexi,
they were not afraid of the other players on her team. 

However, although they couldn’t compare to Wen Jiexi, the other people had their own
strengths. Even if they’re shooting was mediocre, with the explosive force of the swimming
team, the flexibility of the dance club, and although Li Lingmeng wasn’t part of a club, she had
energy, so they were on equal grounds with the sports department! They were able to score a
few points and with Wen Jiexi’s three-pointers, the battle got even fiercer, and the cheers even
louder.

In the end, by one point, Wen Jiexi’s team won. The entire stadium was shaken, no one
believed that they could win against the sports department who had dominated every game. Li
Lingmeng turned to her department and shouted, 

“Everyone, follow me! Today, I will treat everyone! All drinks and food are on me!”

The cheers got even louder. 

“Ahahahaha! Jiexi, you’re the best! You did it! It’s done! The golden mission is complete!”
Dango smiled crazily, shouting and jumping near Wen Jeixi’s ear, making it hard for her to hear
the ‘mission complete’ signal from the system. 

Suddenly, Wen Jiexi’s hand was grabbed by someone. It was the captain of the sports
department team. She looked very excited despite the final results, her eyes full of longing as if
she was looking at prey, she said, 

“Beauty, you must join the basketball team! Our basketball team needs you! As long as you join
our team you definitely become the ace of our team…

Facing so many expected looks and the relentless promotions of their team, Wen Jiexi could
only bitterly smile. However, she did not notice that not too far away, near the stairs, a pair of
fiery eyes were looking at her…

T/N notes:

Oh this chapter got me all fired up! I used to play basketball myself and this made me feel so
nostalgic….

Recently, Zhao Ya had been searching for a person to become a spokesperson for her family’s
sports brand. Although their company could only be considered mid-tier, far below those of the
major companies, they still wouldn’t pick a random person! 
Looking at the person in front of them, it was another who wore heavy makeup and high heels.
They were looking for someone who could promote their sports brand, not who could wear the
most makeup. 

So far, 80% of the people she saw were like this. So, they had arranged for several pairs of
sneakers to be prepared to test out their physical fitness. For some, they were okay, but for
those with heavy makeup, the sweat would drip down and ruin their carefully made-up face.
The result was disastrous and some of the more ill-tempered ones even blamed them for
making things deliberately difficult and walked away in a huff. 

Those wearing heavy makeup won’t do, but those will light makeup didn’t meet their beauty
standard and were rejected by the executives, saying they weren’t attractive enough. As the
planner, she was about to go crazy. Very soon, she would have to report back but with no
person picked yet, what can she report back with? 

Shaking her head out of her thoughts she looked up as she walked past the university. She had
come out to get some fresh air and unexpectedly arrived here. She saw students coming in and
out with smiles on their faces, their eyes full of hope. Ah, I miss my university days, it seems I
have gone old…just as she thought of this, a loud cheer suddenly sounded from somewhere
inside, making Zhao Ya curious. 

As a university, there were no rules against strangers entering their gates. Other than the
dorms and a few other places, most of the facilities can be visited by anybody. Of course, if the
person disturbed the teaching or any other activities, they will naturally be ‘invited’ to leave. 

And since she did not come here to cause trouble, Zhao Ya walked in unhindered and arrived at
the place where the cheering came from. Three basketball games were going on at the same
time and the area was crowded, but the area with the most people was the middle court with
2-3 times the amount of people. Furthermore, the thunderous cheering was coming from
there. 

Looking in from the outside, she couldn’t see anything, she could only see the ball sometimes
flying in the air. Seeing that ball make a smooth arc and the excitement from the crowd, one
could tell how fierce the competition was inside. 

Zhao Ya walked up the stairs, stopped, and then decided she shouldn’t join that excitement.
After all, she was already in her thirties, why would a woman like her try to squeeze in with a
crowd of young people? Besides, she was still wearing her high heels. 
Thinking like this, Zhao Ya decided to go back first. She still hasn’t picked out a spokesperson
yet, and running around outside wasn’t going to help her. Might as well go back and look at the
info she had.

And so, as soon as she turned around to go back down the stairs, she heard the cheering
suddenly grow even more frantic. This caused Zhao Ya to turn her head and this time, she was
on a higher platform, so she could see what was happening in the middle of the court. She
could only see a beautiful girl wearing a blue jersey, her hair in a ponytail. With a graceful jump,
the girl shot the ball with a perfect flick of her wrist. 

That sweaty face and those slightly damp clothes still could not hide the beauty and figure of
that girl. Her entire body seemed to radiate some sort of light that made her the focus of
everyone’s attention. 

At that moment, Zhao Ya made up her mind. This girl is perfect. As long as she could get the
girls’ contact information, she could persuade…no, she will persuade the other party over! In
her heart, as long as this girl became their spokesperson, then their sales will increase
exponentially! In this world, there were plenty of beautiful women, but a woman with natural
beauty was rare. How many beautiful women are beautiful because of makeup? Yet, when they
removed it, one would get scared to death! It was like playing a face change at a Sichuan
Opera! [1] But she was sure that this girl had a face that was all natural! 

She quickly took out a phone and took several photos. She checked them and then breathed a
sigh of relief. Fortunately, her camera’s technology was good, otherwise, she would feel sorry
for the girl if she was unable to capture her beauty. She then entered a number into her phone
and dialed,

“Hey, Little Lin, help me find out who that person is in the photos I just sent you. Alright, that’s
all, wait for me to get back. It’s a bit noisy here so I’ll be hanging up first.”

Hanging up the phone, Zhao Ya crossed her arms and looked at the girl moving on the court
with fiery eyes. The more and more she looked the more hungry she became. She really just
wanted to pick up the girl and carry her back to her company. 

After the game finished, she looked at the girl one more time, searing her image in her memory,
then she left in a hurry. 

The moment she returned to the company, Zhao Ya immediately felt everyone’s eyes on her.
She looked over at her secretary. Lin Youjia, Zhao Ya’s secretary, is considered to be a very lively
girl, which in other words she was a girl not yet polished by society. This type of person was
what Zhao Ya liked because young people brought about this energy that motivated everyone
to work harder and have a little fun despite the boring and rigid work. 

“Sister Zhao, how did you find this picture! This is a picture of one of my underclassmen from
my school.” Lin Youjia asked with excitement as she shook the phone. Hearing those words,
Zhao Ya’s eyes lit up.

“Little Lin, do you know her?” One of the colleagues near her asked, his face full of excitement.
He was about the same age as Lin Youjia. 

“Hey, hey so it turns out our Little Lin knows this little beauty!”

“Little Lin, how mean of you! You knew this beautiful woman and still didn’t introduce her to
this brother.”

“Go away, you already have a girlfriend, you unfaithful ghost!”

Looking at her team, Zhao Ya rolled her eyes, just where did she get these people? They were
the ultimate definition of optimistic, even with the deadline approaching they could still laugh
and joke. However, in the end, they were still able to hand in their work on time. She could only
shrug her shoulders helplessly. It was better than working in an unhappy and strict workplace. If
working was a painful experience, who would still come to work?

Zhao Ya patted Lin Youjia and asked,

“Little Lin, so she is…”

“Hahaha, Sister Zhao, I’m not sure if it’s her because she changed a lot. I heard about her during
my senior year and have seen her a few times. This underclassman is very beautiful. She has a
quiet personality and her character is also very nice, except her body was….very frail.” As Lin
Youjia reached this last point, she felt a little hesitant because the person in the picture looked
like one who would be fine even after a sweaty workout. 

Everyone glanced at each other, doubt in their eyes at her words. If such a person was in poor
health, then the rest of them needed to go to the doctor. 
“What I said is true! You guys know that at my school there is a list ranking the most beautiful
girls and handsome guys and she is ranked third. Her nickname is ‘the sick beauty’. See, look.”
Lin Youjia said, swiping open her phone and showing them the list on the school forums. No
one knew if the person who created it did it on purpose or not, but they had the before and
after photos of Wen Jiexi added on there. This made Wen Jiexi the only person on there with
two photos and her ranking was also moved to second place. 

“That face is so white and sickly, but they are the same person.”

“But it’s still beautiful.” 

“The contrast between the before and after is huge, it looks like they could be twins.”

“Yeah, yeah, I feel that it’s more plausible if they’re twins.”

“I’ve heard that she only has one older brother but no sisters.” Lin Youjia recalled and shook
her head as everyone looked at her again. 

“Then they are the same person.” Zhao Ya touched her chin, thinking for a moment before
clapping her hands to capture the attention of those still whispering, 

“Alright, no matter what, she is our most important goal right now. We can only hope she’ll
agree to our proposal. After all, she is not someone from the entertainment circle, so the
chance of her agreeing is not that high. So before we can convince her, everyone needs to
continue searching for backup candidates. Three days, we have three days to make some sort
of progress, understand?”

“Understood!” 

Seeing everyone gradually quieting down and devoting themselves to their work, she nodded
her head. Although these people fooled around, when push comes to shove, they worked hard.
She turned and asked Lin Youjia, 

“Little Lin, if there’s any way you can get that girl’s contact information, please call her first.” In
their line of work, it was common sense you couldn’t just corner a person, otherwise the
chance of being turned down would be even higher. 
“I think I can get it. I still have a lot of friends studying at the university. I’ll go find them and
ask. If I can’t, I’ll just go find a teacher instead. The school should have the student’s basic
information at least.” Lin Youjia nodded, indicating she can do this, no problem. Zhao Ya felt
assured that she can leave the job of contacting the other party to her. And so, she quickly left
and called up the person in charge to inform them of the new development. 

In the evening, almost everyone in their department came. They all gathered into a private
party room to eat, drink and drink some more. It could be said that this was the first time since
they entered the university that almost everyone was gathered here for a meal. The power of
the words ‘treat everyone’ was just too great. Not to mention, Li Lingmeng’s had the power to
rally large crowds from out of nowhere. She was quite a lively and loyal person, one that can
become friends with everyone, so naturally everyone accepted her invitation. 

The entire room was loud and rambunctious. They even opened every bottle of wince and the
room was full of the stench of alcohol. Wen Jiexi did not accept any drinks and refused
everyone’s invitation to drink. Wen Jiexi only ate some food and drank a cup of juice while
talking to some other students who did not drink either. However, Dango was very excited by
this party atmosphere, and it didn’t matter that no one could see, Dango continued to jump
excitedly around the room.

Wen Jiexi empathized with Dango’s desire to be reborn as a human. If only the contractor could
see Dango, then it must be lonely. For a lively and active spirit, it must be really painful to
endure that loneliness.  

And like so, in this chaos carnival, three hours quickly passed. The entire group had the light
stench of alcohol on their lips, but they didn’t dare to drink too much. Otherwise, it will be a
night of throwing up and they wouldn’t be able to get up in the morning. Not only would they
be tardy to class, they would also have to face very messy dorms. Just thinking about it would
make one cry. So other than those who had drunk themselves silly and couldn’t stop, most
were still okay. 

Wen Jiexi was supporting someone who had drunk themselves silly. Li Lingmeng leaned against
her, her face red as she stumbled around. With a bitter smile, Wen Jiexi refused other students’
help and simply lifted Li Lingmeng and carried her on her back. Seeing this, Dango could only
reluctantly follow them back to their dorms. 
Gently setting Li Lingmeng onto the bed, Wen Jiexi watched Li Lingmen quickly fall into a deep
sleep. She shook her head helplessly. Li Lingmeng’s drunken state was pretty tame. At least she
wasn’t one to vomit everywhere or go crazy from the wine. 

Wiping down the other person with a towel and changing their clothes, Wen Jiexi tucked Li
Lingmeng in to make sure she wouldn’t get a cold. 

“Jiexi, Jiexi, quickly look at your missions panel! There’s a surprise! A surprise!” Dango yelled
loudly, flying in wide circles around Wen Jiexi. 

“I know, I know.” Wen Jiexi wiped her hands, but at the same time felt very excited in her heart,
she had finally completed the monthly mission! 

Hugging her pillow, she sat on her bed. Just as she was about to open her panel….

Buzzz! Buzzz! Wen Jiexi’s cell phone began to vibrate, She picked it up and looked at the screen.
It was an unknown number. Who could it be? After thinking about it, she still decided to pick it
up in the end. 

“Hello, who is this…”

“Hello, are you Miss Wen Jiexi?” A young female’s voice sounded. 

“Yes, that’s me.” Wen Jiexi replied. She had never heard this unknown female’s voice before. 

“Great. I’m Lin Youjia from HIOC. Because of a few reasons and other coincidences, we would
like to sincerely invite you to be the spokesperson of our brand.” The female voice said in a
serious tone.

“….Huh?” 

Author’s notes: 
Su Chenyu: I also wanted to appear in this chapter but the author won’t let me, saying I have to
wait a long, long time… (;¬_¬)

Wen Jiexi thought she heard wrong, then she looked up the company on the phone. This
couldn’t be some scam, right?

HIOC. It was a real company and their products seemed nice, but that wasn’t the point. She
never had any interaction with this company, so how did they find her? 

As if sensing Wen Jiexi’s question, the answer came across from the other side,

“So it’s really you, the sick beauty! I am a senior of yours, although not from the same
department, I know you! Our team leader saw your performance at the basketball game today,
it was really shocking! I hope you can help us out! We are not a scam, I swear it to the
heavens!”

Uh…..Wen Jiexi quickly held the phone away from her, otherwise even without the speaker on,
the shouting would’ve made her deaf. However, this just showed how serious the other side
was and they even sincerely swore to the heavens. Hearing that last part, Wen Jiexi didn’t know
whether to laugh or cry. 

“Calm down, can you speak slowly? I promise I won’t hang up.” Wen Jiexi said in a soothing
tone. 

“Cough-” On the other end, Lin Youjia almost choked on her saliva when she heard Wen Jiexi
talk to her like she was appeasing a child. The colleagues circling her quickly patted her on the
back and helped her regain her breath. This was their communications ambassador, they
couldn’t let anything happen to her! 

Zhao Ya leaned on the pillar with her arms crossed and watched the situation of a child being
surrounded by a group of desperate adults. Her mouth couldn’t help twitching at the sight. She
looked at the closed door, rubbing her forehead. Good thing she had locked the door,
otherwise if anybody came and saw this, she would feel so ashamed. 

After coughing a bit more, Lin Youjia understood what she needed to do and asked carefully, 
“Trust me, we really are members of HIOC. We are currently trying to find a spokesperson for
our new line of products. Originally, we had people come in for an interview, but none of them
were satisfactory. Either their physical fitness was lacking or their appearance didn’t fit our
brand. After watching your game, we felt you were the perfect fit. Of course, we won’t force
you to work for free. Instead, we can agree on a payment or conditions in person. If there is a
clause you don’t like we can discuss it in future conversations as well. I’m wondering when
you’ll have the time to arrange such an appointment?” 

“This…” Wen Jiexi felt hesitant. Even if the other party wasn’t trying to scam her, should she
go?

Su Chenyu….that name flashed across Wen Jiexi’s mind. Thinking about that cold, beautiful and
radiant woman, she pursed her lips. Wen Jiexi understood that if she wanted to enter the
entertainment circle, maybe this was the opportunity she needed. Opportunities like this may
come knocking on her door, but it was up to her to grasp onto them. If she doesn’t grasp it
firmly the first time, there might not be a second time.

“Ok, let’s make an appointment…”Wen Jiexi hadn’t finished speaking when cheering came from
the other side of the phone. Eh….what’s up with this?

“Quiet down, quiet!” The female on the other side said something to her surroundings which
abruptly calmed down. “Ahem, I’m sorry, I seemed to have frightened you. It’s just that over
here….we’re a little excited that’s all. Uh, so, what time would you like to set for your
appointment?”

“How about tomorrow evening…is it okay if I bring a friend along too?” Wen Jiexi looked over at
Li Lingmeng and asked.  

“Of course, of course. Then how about we meet at the Blue Coffee cafe at seven tomorrow? Or
will eight be a better time?” Lin Youjia said with a smile.

“En….eight o’clock sounds good.” Wen Jiexi thought for a moment and said. 

“Great, great, we’ll see you tomorrow then!”

“Yes, see you tomorrow.” Wen Jiexi looked down at her phone, hung up and exhaled.
“Jiexi, Jiexi, what just happened?” Dango flew towards Wen Jiexi and asked. That phone call
sounded scary to Dango, with all the screaming and cheering, it sounded like the other party
had schizophrenia. 

“Won’t you find out when we go tomorrow?” Wen Jiexi couldn’t explain everything to Dango
because she didn’t know everything herself. 

Hmmm…should I inform my parents or big brother? Wen Jiexi felt distressed, however, after
thinking about it, she was already twenty years old and yet she’s never worked before. Trying
to earn some pocket money for myself is a good thing, thinking like this, Wen Jiexi threw her
doubts out the window. 

Time for the missions panel! 

Wen Jiexi excitedly looked at the ‘completed!’ word next to the golden mission. Next to the
complete mission was another line:

 [Recieve rewards, (Accept/Deny)] 

She didn’t hesitate and pressed ‘Accept’. Immediately a voice sounded out. 

Ding! 

Congratulations contractor. The following rewards will be deposited 300

Exp, 5000 points/catties (cannot be used for the next mission).

Ding! 

Congratulations contractor for leveling up to level 2. 

Ding! 

The shop is now open, the contractor now has access to buy items from the
shop.
“5000 points? And they can’t be used for the next missions? Then what do you do with them?”
Wen Jiexi pointed at the missions panel. There was an additional text 「Available points:
5650」as well. Her level bar now was at level 2 and needed 400 points to reach level 3. She
only needs another 100 points to level up again. And the originally full progress bar for the
monthly golden mission was transparent again. Finally, the shop that used to be colored gray
and black could now be selected in the lower right corner.

“These points not only represent the points you got from the reward, but the leftover points
from the mission. For example, the 650 points were the leftover points for after you completed
the yellow mission. Furthermore, these ‘available points’ have a very simple purpose. They are
points you can use to buy items in the shop.” Dango explained, pointing at the shop with its
arms. 

“You can enter the shop and take a look. It has everything you need and is quite an eye-
opener.”

Wen Jiexi clicked on the shop and immediately the panel expanded and dozens of dazzling icons
appeared on it. 

“This…how can I find anything on this?” If she had to go through each icon one by one, just
when will she find the thing she wants? Next month? Next year?

“Huh? Why are some of the icons grayed out?”

“Those are items currently unavailable at your level. Furthermore, these pages are only a small
part of the vast number of things in the shop. Of course, it’s impossible to ask the contractor to
sort through them one by one. If you look over here, there’s a search bar.” Dango pointed to a
window that popped up. There were a lot of options one could use to narrow their search
criteria. One allowed you to only search for things that are available for purchase, another
allowed her to buy items specifically to help her in a mission. 

Wen Jiexi looked at it and then clicked on the checkbox for things that are available for
purchase. After confirming, a total of three pages appeared in front of Wen Jiexi, with about
100 icons on each one, meaning about 300 items in total. Even after narrowing it down, there
were so many.

One page was full of snacks, clothes, medicine, bags and everything one could want, but Wen
Jiexi skipped that page. She could buy those things easily outside, there was no need to waste
her points on it. 
The second and third page was more practical. There were several different tools that allowed
her to locate the missions she needed, like detailed maps and there were other things that
seemed like it would be useful in specific missions. The price for one item was around 300 to
2000 points. Of course, the more expensive it is, the better. Wen Jiexi naturally understood
this. 

However, at level 2 as a contractor, the most expensive thing she could buy was around 2000
points. Then doesn’t that mean that the things she can buy later will have sky-high prices? It
seems that even after completely monthly missions, she couldn’t slack off. Thinking like this,
Wen Jiexi decided she would save most of her points unless she absolutely had to spend them.
Then glancing at the bottom, she saw thirty thin-looking books. 

“Hmm? This is a book?” However, even from first glance, she could tell they weren’t ordinary
books. 

“If you click on the icon, an introduction will pop up.” Dango was swiping through its phone
while answering Wen Jiexi’s question. 

Wen Jiexi tapped on the first row of white books. Hmmm? Taekwondo and Chinese boxing? Are
these self-defense skills? And not just Taekwondo and Chinese boxing, there was judo, karate,
tai chi, etc. Furthermore, they were divided into three levels, white, yellow and green
respectively. 

Should I buy some? Wen Jiexi hesitated. Thinking about the missions up till now, some did
involve helping girls fight off rogues, perverts and the like. 

The most dangerous one was when a girl was pulled into an alley by several men and at the
time, she relied on her brute strength to knock most of them unconscious. Wen Jiexi, who used
to sit or lie down for more than 70% of the time, barely knew how to throw a fist, let alone
fight. However, the last man standing, a tall and thin man, caused her to suffer a loss.

That man had held a short knife and the Wen Jiexi who only knew how to throw a fist was
helpless. Did she have to hit the knife with her fist? Although she received ‘divine power’, it
didn’t mean she actually received a divine body that was made of iron. At the time she had to
drag out the fight until the man fell to the ground, exhausted. After the fight, she was so tired
that she could barely breathe. 

She also recalled that time when she rescued Su Chenyu not so long ago. If it weren’t for her
strength, let alone help, she would be considered a burden. An electric shock could not be
compared to a knife wound. If she was hit, she would’ve been paralyzed and lost her ability to
move for a short time. Of course, a knife cut was more harmful, but that’s beside the point.

From these missions, Wen Jiexi understood that strength wasn’t everything. If strength was
accompanied with boxing or kung fu, it would become much more useful. If one wanted to
enter the entertainment industry, some self-defense skills were necessary. Furthermore, if she
meets Su Chenyu again….if she encounters danger again….because after all, the film princess
had many, many fans. Who knows when one of them will turn into a crazy stalker?

Su Chenyu was the delicate type, the kind that will fall over with a light push. Then I have to
learn at least a little self-defense skill or two. Finally coming to a decision, Wen Jiexi clicked the
confirm button to purchase a green book and then…

Ding! 

Sorry but the contractor has an insufficient balance. Please recharge your
balance or buy something else. 

What? Not enough? Don’t I have enough to buy one? Isn’t the most
expensive green book only 1500 points? Why can’t I….? 

Then Wen Jiexi noticed the three green books in her hands that she didn’t know when they had
appeared….then remembering her thoughts earlier, she quickly saw that her balance had
dropped from 5650 to 1150.

“…” Didn’t she say to herself that she was going to save her points? She hadn’t even met that
person a second time yet and she already wants to protect her! She has bodyguards! She
doesn’t need me to rush in and protect her!

Wen Jiexi wanted to cry but had no tears and just looked at the books in her hand. She had
bought judo, tai chi, and karate. Well, I might as well try them out.

“Dango, how do I use these things?”

“You can just flip them open,” Dango replied. 

“Flip them open?” Wen Jiexi opened the first book and with a shuaa sound, it turned into green
light and flew towards Wen Jiexi’s forehead. Then it slowly disappeared. The moment the green
light disappeared, in Wen Jiexi’s brain, the Tai Chi moves appeared and like a movie, it played
through each step that her body automatically followed. 

When Wen Jiexi finished, she was panting and sweating, but she felt very satisfied as she looked
at her hands, 

“Alright, even if I lost over half of my points in one go, this stuff isn’t half bad.” 

T/N notes:

I decided to make it easier to differentiate the points by making one exp, and the other just
plain points. 

Exp = experience points (the points that allows Wen Jiexi to level up)

Points = points towards the main mission (which was to lift a certain amount of catties/pounds
but the author uses the words points and catties interchangeably so they basically mean the
same thing.)

Alright so I now know that the ‘thing’ the pervert was carrying in the earlier chapters was a
taser. Idk why they would censor it. Chinese censorship laws must be weird. 

Also, haha, Jiexi, I also make the same mistake. At least you’re buying it for your dear Su
Chenyu’s sake. A life lesson for everyone: never let amazon give you the ‘one click buy’ option.
It will make you regret a lot of things.

The next day, neither Wen Jiexi nor Li Lingmeng had classes in the morning. However, when the
clock struck five, Wen Jiexi’s eyes snapped open. She changed her clothes and went out for a
light jog. Since some of the blue missions were set at a fixed amount every day such as jogging,
which was only once a day, Wen Jiexi always made sure to accept and complete them in the
morning. 
She returned to the dorms around eight and feeling that it was too early, she didn’t wake Li
Lingmeng. Then he lifted dumbbells for another hour before taking a shower. She made herself
some porridge for breakfast with some meat and vegetables. After eating two bowls, she left
the rest for Li Lingmeng. 

Done with her morning routine, she turned on her computer and looked up HIOC. It was indeed
a medium-sized sports company. Although it couldn’t be compared to foreign brands or some
of the more famous brands in China, there sports equipment, clothing, shoes, towels, and
everything else is considered decent. They also had many reviews praising their products or
their good customer service. 

All in all, it could be considered a good company. She also noticed there were several hiring
notices and their deadline to apply was approaching. No wonder the lady from yesterday was
so excited when she agreed, it was understandable, but….for a company like this, shouldn’t
there have been many job applications already? Why did they want her? However, since she
already agreed to their invitation, she decided she would ask them in person. 

And Wen Jiexi liked the new line of products from HIOC. Although the design and styles were
simple and light, it wasn’t plain at all. 

“Jiexi, why are you looking at these things? Are you not going to watch the dramas anymore?”
Dango floated beside Wen Jiexi and saw that she was looking at shoes, sporting goods, etc.
They were things that Dango had no interest in, but the dramas, on the other hand, were fun to
watch. In Dango’s opinion, although humans are fragile and can be crushed like a bug in an
instant, they were very creative. 

“Don’t you remember that a certain someone called me yesterday? They called because they
wanted to talk about these things and so I felt that I needed to understand it first before I go.
Otherwise, every time they open their mouth I will have no idea what’s going on.”

“Hmmm….ah, you mean that schizophrenic woman from yesterday.” 

Pffft- Wen Jiexi almost spit out the water she was drinking. Schizophrenic woman? Eh….one
moment she was careful and the next she was over the moon, could this be considered
schizophrenic? Actually now that Wen Jiexi thought about it….cough cough

Lin Youjia: QAQ! I just didn’t want to scare you in the beginning and I got a little bit excited
afterward. How is that being schizophrenic?!!
“Oooof…” Suddenly a low groan sounded out. Wen Jiexi turned to see Li Lingmeng holding her
head in her hands and frowning. It seems no matter how good alcohol tastes if you drink too
much, it was inevitable to get a headache the next day. A hangover was something nobody can
escape from. 

“You’re awake? Here, drink some water.” Wen Jiexi poured some warm water into a cup and
walked over to Li Lingmeng.

“Wuuuu….ah, my head hurts…” Li Lingmeng complained.

“Well, who told you to drink so much.” Wen Jiexi said helplessly. 

“Hehe, can you blame me for being a kind hostess?” Li Lingmeng scratched her head
embarrassedly and gratefully accepted the glass of water from Wen Jiexi. 

“Are you going to take a shower? Yesterday I wiped you down but I still think you should take a
shower.” Wen Jiexi could still smell the heavy stench of alcohol coming from Li Lingmeng and
advised.  

“Of course I’m going to take a shower.” Li Lingmeng nodded violently, then grabbed a set of
clothes from the closet…growl….her stomach let out an embarrassing sound. She then looked
towards the table to see a bowl of porridge on it. 

“Oh, Little Xi you made porridge! Wait for me and I’ll join you shortly.”

“This bowl is for you. Take your time, no need to rush.” Wen Jiexi smiled at Li Lingmeng who
was still so energetic even during a hangover. She picked up the bowl and went to reheat it. She
wondered about the other people who, like Li Lingmeng, drank to their heart’s content. One
had to wonder if they were like Li Lingmeng right now, rushing around violently and bumping
into everything. 

After Li Lingmeng finished breakfast, it was already eleven. Since it was so late, Li Lingmeng
wouldn’t be able to eat anything for lunch even if she made something. So they decided to
meet each other later for dinner after their classes. 

As a result of last night’s party, at least three floors’ worth of people did not attend class.
However, most of the girls were still okay and almost every one of them still made it. After all,
most of the drinkers were male and more than half of them were absent….and the last few who
arrived were in a sorry state. They still had the messy bed hair, the dark circles under their eyes,
and of course the heavy stench of alcohol on their bodies. One could guess that these people
probably just woke up and merely threw on a sweater before hurrying to class. 

When the professor saw this, her face darkened. The credits for this course were very
important for their major and so the teacher paid close attention to the attendance. Wen Jiexi
silently prayed for those classmates of hers who was probably still lying unconsciously in their
dorms. She hoped that they didn’t fail this course because of their drunken mistakes. 

On the other hand, Li Lingmeng felt quite guilty. Not everyone is like her who had a roommate
that was willing to take care of them. She believed that even if she slept until twelve, Wen Jiexi
would slap her awake and get her to class on time. However….for those whose both
roommates were drunk…ugh…she knew she shouldn’t have listened to those people who told
her that drinks are a must at a party. Now if they failed because they were passed out, wouldn’t
she be held responsible?” 

However, those who did not show up to class didn’t care and even typed in their group chat, 

“Is the Exterminator shooting daggers with her eyes right now? I’m still hungover so if I see her
face right now I might just puke.” 

The Exterminator was what the students called their professor in private. 

“Hahaha, I second that. It’s so much better to be lying in bed! I see her face every day and even
without drinking I feel like throwing up.”

“As long as you do well on the next test she will overlook your laziness this time.”

Seeing the last message, Li Lingmeng’s expression brightened and she returned to her usual
self. 

In the cafeteria, they ordered two bowls of white rice, meat and one bowl of soup and sat in
the corner. They didn’t order much because they still wanted to go out to eat dinner later. 
Wen Jiexi ate in small bites and then told Li Lingmeng about the phone conversation yesterday.
She told her about the company’s information and hoped that she would come along with her
to the appointment. 

“Huh? So people from HIOC called you and said they wanted you to help them shoot some
commercials?” Li Lingmeng’s eyes widened. Whether it was real or not, for such an opportunity
to sudden fall from the sky was a little too surreal. 

“Yeah, apparently it’s because they saw me at yesterday’s basketball game.” Wen Jiexi smiled
bitterly.

“Well, what are you hesitating for? And don’t worry, I will accompany you and act as your
agent.” Li Lingmeng said boldly and patted her chest confidently.  

“Hahaha, is this how one becomes an agent? Don’t you have to start by being an assistant
first?” Wen Jiexi stuffed a mouthful of vegetables into her mouth and shook her head
helplessly. 

“Hey, the legendary Agent Wang also started directly as an agent. I want to be just like her.” Li
Lingmeng muttered. 

“Yes, but it’s because she had the ability and skills to do so. It is very difficult to manage and
work your way through the entertainment circle without at least two to three years of
backbreaking work.” Wen Jiexi didn’t want to splash cold water onto her friend’s dream, but
not everyone can become a legend. If becoming a legend was easy, should one even be called a
legend? Then it wouldn’t be legendary, it would be just normal. 

“Hmmm…” Li Lingmeng bit her chopsticks, a sad expression on her face. She waved her hand, 

“Forget it, I’m not even contracted with a company. However, Little Xi if you really want to step
into the entertainment circle, at least let me be your assistant. Maybe in the future when you
get famous, I can borrow some of your fame.” Saying this, her face was full of longing and she
looked over at Wen Jiexi like she was looking at a future superstar. 

“How can one become famous that easily as you said? I just wanted to try it out, I haven’t
decided if I want to devote myself to it yet.” Wen Jiexi filled a bowl up with the soup and set it
in front of Li Lingmeng. 
“Have some confidence in yourself! Since this opportunity has already fallen into your lap, as
long as you grasp this opportunity you’ll be good. A commercial isn’t like a poster or magazine.
It’s on TV which means everyone will see it and it’ll be good exposure for you.” Li Lingmeng
analyzed, fullying immersing herself into the role of Wen Jiexi’s assistant. Wen Jiexi didn’t know
whether to laugh or cry and said, 

“Alright, alright, I will listen to Little Meng. I will do my best, but I must trouble you to
accompany me first.”

“Ok, ok, I will help you.”

Later that night…

The Blue Coffee cafe had a quiet environment, but its design was nice. They played pleasant
music and had several small private rooms. The reason it was so quiet here was that the walls
were soundproofed, so nobody’s conversation could be overheard. 

The other party said they booked room three for the appointment and so Wen Jiexi and Li
Lingmeng told the waiter this information and he led them to their room. Inside, there was no
one there yet so they decided to order something first. After all, it was embarrassing to sit
inside a shop without ordering anything. 

Wen Jiexi glanced at the menu and ordered a cup of hot milk with a slice of Schwarzwald cake.
Li Lingmeng went for the cappuccino and chocolate waffle meal. Once the waiter walked out,
Wen Jiexi looked over at Li Lingmeng, 

“Little Meng, I remember you ate two full sets of Shanghai dumplings. How are you still able to
order an entire chocolate waffle meal?”

“Hahaha, Little Xi you don’t understand, but I have two stomachs. One for sweets and one for
other food, so they don’t affect each other at all.” Li Lingmeng laughed. 

“Yes, yes, everything you say is right.”

“Heng, how half-hearted.”

The waiter walked in with their food, followed by two unfamiliar women. One looked stable
and calm, wearing a pair of glasses with a slight crease between her eyebrows. The other
woman beside her looked only a few years older than Wen Jiexi. Holding a leather briefcase,
the younger woman seemed to be grumbling about something to the other woman. However,
once she saw the two sitting at the table, her eyes lit up and she hurried towards them,

“Hello, I am a team member from HIOC, Lin Youjia and this is our team leader, Zhao Ya.”

“Hello, I believe this is the first time we’ve met. I am Wen Jiexi and this is my friend, Li
Lingmeng.” Listening to this woman’s words, she believed that they were directed at her and
smiled, stood up and introduced herself. 

“Sorry to have kept you waiting.” Zhao Ya stepped forward. 

“Don’t worry, we just arrived ourselves. Would you two like to get something before we start?”
Li Lingmeng handed a menu to them. 

“Hot chocolate and cheesecake for me.”

“One latte for me.”

They waited for the waiter to carry in their food and then did they begin the negotiation. 

T/N notes:

Chocolate waffles……yum
“Alright, since everyone here knows the purpose of our discussion today I won’t say much. How
about we skip to the main topic at hand?” Zhao Ya took a sip of coffee and asked. She saw that
Li Lingmeng froze and hurriedly waved her hand, 

“Of course you can continue eating while you listen.”

“No, no, business comes first.” Li Lingmeng waved her hand and pushed her waffle meal aside.
Zhao Ya didn’t say anything and picked up the leather briefcase Lin Youjia had put onto the
table. She took out the contents inside and set it neatly on the table, 

“As you can see in this photo, this is our newly launched product line. Here is a set of shorts, a
short-sleeved shirt, some pants, a jacket, and two pairs of shoes. First we will be doing a
photoshoot and then put it in our magazine. We’ll save the commercial for last. I’ve seen you
play basketball already so our plan just has you act naturally. We will find a few people to play
with you and all you have to do is be yourself. Then from that, we’ll pick out the parts we like
and make a short video. Here is the prepared contract.” Zhao Ya briefly went over the details of
the job and then placed a page of terms and conditions in front of Wen Jiexi. 

“If she plays basketball with other people, won’t her face get blocked by the bodies?” Li
Lingmeng asked, scratching her chin.
“That is inevitable, so we’ll set up a 360 shooting set, with cameras on all sides. We also have a
professional editing team so we’ll definitely be able to capture everything.” Lin Youjia
explained.

“Can you tell me why you picked me of all people? Sorry, but based on your company’s
standards there should’ve been a lot of candidates jumping for the job. Why did you choose
me? Even if you watched my game, that seems a bit far-fetched.” Wen Jiexi lightly slid her hand
over the contract. 

“You have seen plenty of our sports advertisements, right? They all tend to be the same, with
nothing new in them. Most of them are just close up of our products, which can’t really capture
the public’s attention. This time, however, we hope to highlight our new line of products and
bring out their distinguishing qualities. We think if we only do something simple like jogging,
this goal cannot be achieved. So we thought it would be better if we do something more
intense and give off a more stimulating and exciting feeling. For something like this, it
undoubtedly requires some amazing physical strength and endurance. However, it’s a pity that
out of all of the candidates so far, they were either not clear about our goals or didn’t have the
physical endurance and strength we needed….we also feel pretty helpless about our situation.”
Zhao Ya clarified. Recalling it now, those horrific moments were truly too unbearable to watch. 

“So it’s like that…” Wen Jiexi nodded and then attentively looked through the contract in front
of her. Line by line, each detail of the job and each condition was written out carefully. 

“As for the schedule, because you are a student, we will like to do the shooting for the
commercial during a holiday. As for the photoshoot, we would like to shoot on the weekdays
when you have the time. We are hoping to finish the shoot within two weeks.” Zhao Ya pointed
at the schedule she was referring to in the contract. 

“If you guys are short on time, I have time in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. Will doing a
photoshoot during that time be okay?” Wen Jiexi thought about it and asked. 

“Of course. The photoshoot for the magazine can be done in one afternoon, and then all that’s
left will be the commercial.” Zhao Ya nodded. The sooner they could finish this, the better. After
all, the deadline was approaching fast. And if they were unable to use Wen Jiexi, they will have
to find another candidate. 

“Then we can do it on this holiday.” Wen Jiexi said straightforwardly, pointing at the date on
her phone. She doesn’t like dragging out conversations either because all it will do is cause
everyone to feel exhausted. She looked through the contract one last time and then had Li
Lingmeng take a glance at it. After making sure there were no problems, she signed her name at
the bottom. 

“Thank you for cooperating with us, Miss Wen.” Zhao Ya put away the contract and then shook
hands with Wen Jiexi, and left with Lin Youjia who was reluctant to leave her half-finished
cheesecake behind. 

Watching the door close behind the two, Wen Jiexi took a sip of her now cold milk and looked
at a copy of the contract she had in her hand,

“There shouldn’t be any problems with the contract, right?”

“You’ve already signed it so even if there is a problem, it’s too late to change it. You can’t regret
your decision now.” Li Lingmeng rolled her eyes and picked up her knife and fork to cut her
waffle. She placed the cold waffle in her mouth and frowned, wondering if she should order
another one. 

“Your compensation is pretty generous. A total of 40,000 yuan. Usually, most people without
any fame would get the same amount but remember that most are part of a company. After
splitting it with their team and the company, usually, they wouldn’t have much left. Yet, since
you’re only one person, hehe, you get to keep the 40,000 all to yourself.” Saying so, she raised
her eyebrow at Wen Jiexi, her thoughts written clearly on her face. 

“Yes, yes, I know. I will definitely treat you to something good.” Wen Jiexi laughed helplessly. 

“Hehe, rest assured, Little Xi, I’ll accompany you wherever you go. That way you can have
someone looking out for you.” Li Lingmeng ate a big mouthful of her waffle and thinking about
the delicious meal she’ll be treated to in the future, she couldn’t help but think the waffle
tasted better all of a sudden.

“Oh, right, almost forgot, but are you not going to tell your family about this?” 

Perhaps it’s because she was by Wen Jiexi’s side the longest, all three members of the Wen
family had their contacts saved in her phone. Whenever Wen Jiexi had an accident, she would
immediately call Wen Jiexi’s parents. If one counted the number of times she’s called them, one
would find that Li Lingmeng called Wen Jiexi’s parents more often than her own. 
Ah, also, the Wen family had a good set of genes that were passed down to both siblings. The
first time Li Lingmeng saw Wen Jiexi’s super handsome older brother she was stunned and
then….and then there was nothing because that person was a major sis-con. As the saying goes,
with the passage of time people’s true personalities are revealed and this handsome guy was
actually a sis-con. This revelation caused the young Li Lingming’s heart to break into a million
pieces and crumble into dust. 

“This…I don’t think there’s anything dangerous about doing this, so I didn’t want to say
anything…” Wen Jiexi rubbed her nose and forced out a reason. She wanted to persuade Li
Lingmeng but at the same time, she wanted to alleviate her guilty conscience. 

Li Lingmeng rolled her eyes. Yes, there’s nothing dangerous, but after the shooting is done it will
cause a commotion in the Wen household. Do you think they won’t find out? Please. They told
you they are going to air it on the internet and on TV. Does your family not watch TV? You won’t
be able to hide it for long.

“Eh, it’s up to you to decide. In the end, it’s you who’s going to be in the commercial, not me.”
Li Lingmeng waved a hand and ate the rest of her meal in two or three bites. She wiped her
mouth and then burped, 

“Alright, let’s go. We should go home and continue our binge-watching of the goddess’
films.”After saying so, she didn’t wait for Wen Jeixi to react and hooked an arm around Wen
Jiexi’s. They hurriedly paid their bill and ran back to the dorms. 

When she returned to the dorms, Wen Jiexi was pushed into the bathroom. Soaking in the
bathtub, Wen Jiexi laid their lazily, 

“Jiexi, so your conversation earlier went well.” Dango looked at Wen Jiexi excitedly. 

“En.”

“So that means Jiexi is going to be an actress. Oooooo, you humans are really good at creating
movies and other interesting stories. So who are you going to play? Are you going to play the
female lead?” Dango clenched its small arms into fists and shook them up and down
vigorously. 

“No…I’m not going to film a movie, I’m just filming a commercial…” Wen Jiexi looked at Dango
with a wry smile. She didn’t know if Dango understood that to play the female lead’s part in a
movie or drama, one had to go through lots of competitions and auditions. It was not as simple
as filming a commercial.

“Huh? But didn’t you say you were going to sign a contract? Doesn’t that mean you’re going to
film a movie?” Dango was confused. 

“I never said anything like that.” Wen Jiex pinched the bridge of her nose, feeling a headache
coming. Did this fellow think contracts among humans were only about movies or dramas? 

“Contracts come in many different forms and can be used for various agreements. Not
everything is about filming.”

“….Huh?” Dango tilted its head, half-understanding but not actually understanding and then
said,

“In any case, Jiexi is going to shoot a movie!”

…..Is that your final conclusion?!!

“And, I will support you, Jiexi! I recently registered for an account on a human communication
software called Weibo. [1] I’ve learned a lot of things, so whether it be fans or anything else
that a support team does, just leave it to me!” Dango floated in the air, patting its body and said
solemnly. 

“Alright, alright.” Wen Jiexi patted Dango’s head. She couldn’t bear to tell Dango that although
she got this opportunity, she might not succeed. Plus, she hasn’t decided if she wants to enter
the entertainment circle or not. If she doesn’t finish this commercial successfully and enter,
then the treatment she will get in the future in this business will be completely different. 

“Hehehe, you are my dear host after all. So, of course, I have to be thoughtful of you.” Dango
proudly raised its head and flew around Wen Jiexi before drifting away, 

“I’m going to study and keep studying until I can become a professional fan!” 

She watched as Dango disappeared through the door and then gently leaned her head against
the tub, closing her eyes in quiet contemplation, 
If I can use this commercial to get some fans, then it will be easier than
going through auditions with a bunch of random strangers. 

Because of what Su Chenyu had said to her before, she had researched the industry thoroughly.
She understood that in the entertainment circle and in a company specifically there is a
hierarchy. There’s a hierarchy for resources, support, contracts, etc. Although each company
had a different system, essentially, the higher up on the ladder you are, the better your
resources.

An example was when a pretty-looking influencer that was dug up by an entertainment

company signed a C-level contract the moment she entered the company. This made those who
could only sign the worst E-class contracts grit their teeth in indignation as their eyes glowed
green with envy. The specifics of the whole affair was unclear to Wen Jiexi, but following this
logic, it seems that the more fans you have, the better your contract. So the number of fans you
had was a very important issue. 

It really was quite a headache for her. If she fails this job, it will be hard to get another one.
Though, there are many other ways to attract fans like singing, writing poetry, making videos,
streaming, etc. There were countless other ways, but Wen Jiexi couldn’t find one that was
suitable for her, which caused her to feel quite vexed. 

“Little Xi, are you done bathing? Don’t forget the drama starts at ten! You have to hurry up so I
can wash too!” 

Drip….

Wen Jiexi quickly stood up, putting her distressing thoughts behind her and drained the water.
She wrapped a towel around herself and responded, 

“I know. Wait a moment, I’m coming out.”

T/N notes:
[1] Weibo: It’s a blogging website that is used in China. I personally don’t like it because I had a
relative who had to get internet addiction therapy because she would stay up all night blogging
on it. Of course, any social media site can do that to a person, but this one really hit home.  

The car was a total of twenty minutes from the school to the HIOC company, a building that one
can tell was newly built. 

“Oh, so this is HIOC.” Li Lingmeng rubbed her chin. 

“Little Meng, let’s go, it’s almost time for our appointment.” Wen Jiexi shouted.

“Ok!”

The first floor of the building was filled with shops and the offices were on the floors above. So
they took the elevator to the second food and when the doors opened, a receptionist’s desk
appeared before them. 

“Hello, may I ask who the two of you are….” One receptionist noticed that the two seemed lost
and stood up to greet them. 

“Hello, we’re here for an appointment with Zhao Ya, otherwise known as Team Leader Zhao.”
Wen Jiexi smiled. 

“Um, this…” The expression on the receptionist’s face changed slightly and just when she was
about to speak, she was interrupted by another voice.”

“Over here!” Lin Youjia rushed towards them and waved at Wen Jiexi and Li Lingmeng. At the
same time, she gave the receptionist a warning look.

Wen Jiexi and Li Lingmeng shared a glance and then walked over to Lin Youjia. As they walked,
they heard hurried and whispered discussion behind them. Things like ‘what a pity’ and ‘how
disappointing’ could be heard. What is going on?

“Miss Lin.” Wen Jiexi stopped in front of Lin Youjia. 

“No need to call me Miss Lin, you can just call me Little Lin.” Lin Youjia waved a hand, looked at
them, and couldn’t help but sigh. 

“Follow me.”

“Sister Lin, what’s wrong?” Li Lingmeng frowned and glanced around. For some reason the
people around her were looking at them with…..it couldn’t be described as malicious intent or
goodwill, but a sense of pity, helplessness, and sympathy. It made one feel uncomfortable.
However, she couldn’t provoke or mess with others because it would ruin Wen Jiexi’s image,
otherwise, with her temper, she would’ve picked a fight with someone already. 

“Listen, you two probably already know, but within a company there are multiple marketing
and production teams. In our company, we have a total of three such groups. The first group is
our team, Team One, and we are the most powerful of the three teams. Almost all of the best
projects are given to us first so something important like the advertisements for the new line of
products was handed to our team.” Lin Youjia explained, a glint of pride flashing in her eyes.
One could tell she was quite confident and proud of her team, but those emotions were quickly
replaced with anger, 

“But….yesterday, a daughter of one of our investors said that she wanted to enter the
entertainment industry. Therefore, she was forcibly added in and who knows why, but she was
handed over to Team Two. Hmph, they are obviously looking down on us and are jealous of our
Team One’s prestige.”

“Huh? But don’t you have a candidate picked out? Don’t they understand the term, first come
first serve?” Li Lingmeng’s eyes widened. 

“Hah, you two haven’t seen the ugliness of the real world yet, so you probably don’t
understand the complex relations behind this. You see, it’s very hard for a company to reject
the requests of investors. If an investor withdraws their investments, it will generate a negative
impact and will be a big blow on our profits. So in order to satisfy our investors, sacrifices have
to be made and naturally, those who are sacrificed are us, common workers. However, you
don’t have to worry because we signed the contract first, so it will be impossible to pull back
our offer. Naturally, we explained these difficulties to our investors, so the big bosses decided
to have two teams produce different ads and after the results come out, they will choose who
they think is most suitable.” Lin Youjia explained helplessly. 

“Then I will try my best, Wen Jiexi looked at Lin Youjia’s distressed expression and nodded her
head in promise. 
“Really? Then let’s try our best together!” Lin Youjia laughed cheerfully and ignoring the eyes
around them, brought the two directly to an open area that was obviously a studio. There were
two studios set up and Zhao Ya was looking at one studio with her arms crossed. A flashing light
blazed continuously in that studio, meaning that someone else is inside there. 

“Sister Zhao, I’ve brought them over.” Lin Youji said and then pointing at the studio next door
with a look of dissatisfaction on her face, she whispered to Wen Jiexi and Li Lingmen, 

“The person I was talking about is in there.”

“You’re here.” Zhao Ya uncrossed her arms when she saw them and nodded, 

“Come in, everything has been set up already.”

“Little Meng.” Wen Jiexi pulled Li Lingmeng, who was trying to peek into the other studio and
dragged her into their studio. The real question is, why is Wen Jiexi so calm? How come she
wasn’t curious about the mysterious figure next door?

Dango, on the other hand, was so angry at the fact that Wen Jiexi might not be on TV and its
translucent body turned red and smoke started coming out. Dango even rushed right into the
tent and came back out with pictures taken on its mobile phone. Dango showed Wen Jeixi the
pictures furiously, leaving it in front of Wen Jiexi’s face. As Wen Jiexi walked forward, in front of
her was a picture of a young woman. All this made her quite speechless, is this woman
supposed to impress her?

The woman in the picture looked around 17 or 18. With detailed and exquisite makeup on her
face, she looked pretty good. However, what made her stand out was her large chest that made
Wen Jiexi feel somewhat depressed over. Her face had an overall childish appearance to it that
was easy on the eyes, but the arrogance between her eyebrows and in her eyes made her
frown. She was the perfect example of a spoiled child from a rich family. This is who I’m
competing with? Wen Jeixi smiled bitterly. 

“Alright everyone, this is our model for today.” Zhao Ya clapped her hands and announced
loudly the moment she entered the tent. The others were setting up equipment or playing with
the machines and turned their heads, setting their eyes on Wen Jiexi. For a moment, Wen Jiexi
stiffened but then relaxed. She was used to being the center of attention, the only difference
was the scene and the people. 
“Hello everyone, my name is Wen Jiexi. I am the person who will be participating in the
shooting today. This is my friend, Li Lingmeng, who is accompanying me today. Since this is my
first time, I look forward to working with everyone.” Wen Jiexi said and bowed slightly. 

After Wen Jiexi introduced herself, it was silent. At first, Wen Jiexi thought she had said
something wrong, but then they started smiling. 

“Hello, little beauty!”

“Hehe, you’re prettier in real life than in your photos.”

“You look like you have good character, better than the one next door who looks down her
nose at people.”

“That’s right, that’s right! Those investors are harmless cattle, we are not scared of them!”

Everyone was smiling and a few approached her with kind eyes, gradually causing Wen Jiexi’s
anxiety to disappear. It looks like she will be able to get along with these people better than
expected.  

“Enough, if you guys keep acting so brazenly, you’ll scare her off.” Zhao Ya shoved a man out of
the way.

“Go back to your place and finish checking your equipment.”

“Yes, yes, Team Leader is in charge today. I will obey your orders.”

“I’m always supposed to be in charge!” 

“Is this really the number one team in the company? You all seem loose and relaxed.” Li
Lingmeng muttered. 

“Don’t look down on our team, because these people are all experts among experts! You see
that guy over there? He’s the photographer for today and a famous photographer who has won
many notable awards.” Lin Youjia knocked Li Lingmeng’s head angrily and pointed at a serious-
looking middle-aged man who was fiddling with his camera. He had on a look of respect and
love as if the machine in front of him was his wife, not just a camera. This showed that Lin
Youjia’s words were not lies and then Lin Youjia pointed at the two young mang gathered
around Wen Jiexi, 

“Those two are Wen Zi and Little Fei. Don’t look down on them because they look like they are
around our age because they are the elites of editing. They were once in charge of production
teams for TV programs and although they were in top positions, they didn’t like that kind of
environment. So after a few twists and terms, they ended up here.” Lin Youjia then pointed out
a few others, all of them were people with outstanding qualifications. It seems the company’s
elites were all gathered into Team One, so it made sense that the other two teams who were
suppressed for so long.

“Jiexi, come over here.” Zhao Ua waved at Wen Jeixi, a stack of papers in one hand. 

“Sister Zhao.”

“In a second you will go over to that dressing room. The clothes are there and ready for you.
Then you will go to the center over there and the photographer will tell you what to do. Just
relax, okay?” Zhao Ya pointed at a small room in the corner that had a sign that said 「Dressing
room」.

“Okay, I understand.” Wen Jiexi nodded. 

“If the size doesn’t fit, tell Little Lin and we can get you the right size. Alright, you can go change
first and then we’ll start right afterward.”

“En.”

Wen Jiexi quickly entered the dressing room. Inside there were four sets of brand new clothes
hanging on the hook. They were the outfits that Zhao Ya had shown her last time. 

“Eh, is it just these few pieces of clothing? Where are the multiple layers that look like they
wrap up the people so tightly that they might suffocate?” Dango pursed its lips in confusion. 

“That’s a Palace costume. Only period dramas will have costumes like that to wear during
filming. Who would wear those types of clothes in everyday life.” Wen Jiexi didn’t know
whether to laugh or cry and felt speechless at Dango’s habit of believing that everything in a
drama was real. Yesterday, she and Li Lingmeng were watching one of Su Chenyu’s period
dramas, and now one could say that Dango has become a drama enthusiast…

Sporting outfits, on the other hand, were all about being light and easy to wear, unlike the
cumbersome outfits in dramas. Wen Jiexi only needs to take off her jacket and outer clothes
before putting the outfit on. The material was easy to move around in and didn’t constrict her
breathing. Inf cat, it was quite comfortable. After confirming the size was good and there was
no problem, Wen Jiexi opened the door. 

And as a result…uhhh….what’s with this stormy and tense atmosphere?

Wen Jiexi swept her gaze around the room and found that the smiling members were focused
on their own work with no expression on their faces. Zhao Ya was sitting in a seat with her arms
folded and Lin Youjia stood beside her. In front of them was a group of uninvited guests who
weren’t here before but had come in a few minutes earlier when Wen Jeixi was changing. 

There were only three people in the group. A thirty-year-old man with a vulgar expression, who
looked like he was fawning over someone. Similarly, a middle-aged man in his fifties with spare
air also had the same fawning expression on his face. He whispered quietly to the arrogant girl
sitting between them. The girl is the person in the photo that Dango had shown her. In other
words, Wen Jiexi’s opponent, the investor’s daughter. 

“What’s going on?” Wen Jiexi whispered to Li Lingmeng who was waiting outside the dressing
room.

“Who knows. They just came here suddenly without warning. I think they wanted to see who
their opponent was.” Li Lingmeng shrugged. 

The whispering between the two quickly attracted the girl’s attention. The girl abruptly stood
up and walked briskly over to Wen Jiexi with an overbearing aura.
