Bai Hong was originally an agent at a media company, managing a boy band and several other artists. The boy band wasn't very popular, and the other artists weren't particularly famous either; she was practically invisible in the company. Until one day, by chance, she signed Xie Chi.
At first glance, the young man seemed like a god or ghost who had stepped out of an ancient painting, and the fox spirit was so exquisite that it should only appear in a story from Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. At first sight, she felt as if her soul had been captured, and she immediately signed Xie Chi's contract.
This was probably the luckiest thing that ever happened to her.
After signing Xie Chi, it was discovered that Xie Chi was not only exceptionally good-looking, but also quick to learn anything. He was incredibly talented in acting, songwriting, and composing, things he had never studied before. He became an instant sensation and a cash cow for the company right after his debut.
Xie Chi's fans are very loyal and obsessed with him. Bai Hong gradually went from an unknown agent to a top agent. Even celebrities with some fame would nod and greet her when they saw her.
She thought this kind of life would continue until Xie Chi proposed terminating the contract.
I don't understand why he would suddenly want to leave. In just two or three years, he went from having nothing to being famous on the rich list. He is definitely one of the richest celebrities in the world.
In this industry, if you can make it big, making money is easy.
We often hear that certain actresses or actors receive salaries of 100 million or tens of millions of yuan, and they are served by bodyguards or assistants when they go out. It's no wonder that many people who are not particularly good-looking are now trying their best to squeeze into this field.
Xie Chi is different; he is simply gifted.
They are born to shine in the spotlight, not to leave in silence.
A year later, Bai Hong went from being a top agent to the target of everyone's anger in the company. To put it bluntly, the entire company was basically supported by Xie Chi. After Xie Chi left, the company's boss took his anger out on her. So she simply took a leave of absence and planned to go to the famous Kaiyuan Temple in the capital to pray to Buddha and get rid of bad luck.
After comparing various ticket options, I realized that buying a combined ticket was the most cost-effective.
Although... it's still a bit strange that All Souls Zoo is mixed in with a bunch of religious sites, she recently saw a picture of the sea view in Fukuyama. The seawater was so clear that it seemed to be able to purify one's soul.
Fortunately, Bai Hong managed to snag a seaside guesthouse as a gift to herself.

At 2 p.m., Bai Hong came down from Kaiyuan Temple, panting, and took a taxi to Wanling Zoo.
Fortunately, she was lucky today; the roads weren't too crowded, and she soon arrived at the internet-famous zoo.
Honestly, it's not false advertising at all; the architectural style is simply perfect. She strolled around, stopping occasionally, and felt much more relaxed. However, to enter the aquarium, you need to buy a separate ticket, which is quite reasonable at two hundred yuan a ticket. Once you see the exterior of the venue, you won't feel it's expensive at all.
Bai Hong gritted her teeth; it was only two hundred yuan a piece.
We've already booked the guesthouse room, why should we care about such a small amount of money?
She ordered the aquarium tickets online.
There were many people ahead of us, but everyone was very orderly, queuing up to enter through the door, so it didn't feel crowded.
Soon, Bai Hong arrived inside the aquarium.
Looking at the mysterious azure sea, she felt as if she were in the deep ocean, all the restlessness in her heart was soothed, and her soul seemed to be completely purified.
There was no backstabbing or scheming in the company, no sarcastic or unfriendly boss, no frantic KPIs. Here, she was simply herself, not a lowly employee of a media company, nor an agent for any celebrity.
She smiled for the first time in a long time, and even her brows relaxed. She took out her phone; there were many kinds of ocean fish, with vibrant and varied colors. Although she couldn't name most of the fish, it didn't stop her from thinking that every part of the place was beautiful.
The boutiques from my childhood sold crystal ball decorations. Standing outside the azure glass made it feel like you were inside a crystal ball. She took pictures of the scenery she saw. It had been a long time since she had experienced anything like this. It felt like she had returned to her university days, taking the subway with her roommates and changing stations several times to visit the aquarium.
They tried to make tickets cheaper, offering discounts for students, but that's no longer possible.
She maintained a smile.
"We can refuse animal performances, but we can't refuse animals performing on their own initiative." The little boy was going through puberty, and his voice sounded a bit rough and not very pleasant. He was telling his companion about his experiences. He had been to the aquarium several times before.
Bai Hong's gaze fell on the dolphins emerging from the water in the distance. Under the guidance of the keeper, the little dolphins performed a series of basic movements such as turning and flipping. The little dolphins are quite friendly, and after finishing their work, they would come over and nuzzle the tourists.
"Hey, ma'am, is this your first time here? Wanling is a bit different from other zoos. The animals here can interact with each other. Didn't you already visit the outside area before you came?" The outgoing little boy came over to chat with Bai Hong.
Bai Hong nodded: "Yes, we've already toured the outside area. Can I interact with the dolphins too?"
"Of course you can. You can go directly there after the show to take photos and interact with the dolphin. The dolphin is called Langlang. It's very lively, a bottlenose dolphin, and very friendly."
The stray dolphins are very popular, and many tourists want to take photos with them. Some can even reach out and touch the slippery dolphins.
There are many kinds of dolphins here, such as striped dolphins and porpoises. Just one aquarium has so many things to see that it's dazzling. If you wanted to learn about them all, you probably wouldn't be able to see them all even if you stayed here for three days and three nights. You could only get a cursory glance and get a general idea.
Bai Hong originally wanted to take a photo with Langlang, but there were just too many tourists there, and she couldn't manage it, so she had to give up.
After seeing most of the exhibits in the aquarium, she finally put away her phone, satisfied, and prepared to return to the guesthouse she had booked online in advance.
The afterglow of the setting sun painted the entire sea surface like an oil painting, and on the beach, you could vaguely see children playing in the sand, their laughter echoing.
Some people are setting up tents. Barbecues are allowed on the beach, but littering is prohibited, so although there are quite a few people, the beach still looks clean overall.
Bai Hong descended the steps and put her luggage in her room. Just as she was about to go out to see the sea view, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"You can touch the ears too."
It was... Xie Chi's voice.
Having been his manager for so long, his voice is practically etched into her genes; there's no way she wouldn't recognize it.
