Attached below was a schedule. The secretary was so thoughtful that she marked many red circles on the schedule, indicating the length of time for each circle, and adding notes such as: two hours of free time from time to time, ninety minutes of free time from time to time, and approximately what time she could go home to rest on which day she had a social engagement.
The intention is quite clear: don't choose such a tight time to come next time.
Jona touched her nose, and then confidently kept the seven-day schedule.
Just then, get out of class ended in the classroom.
Qiao Na called Li Ruan out, "Look, it's a photoshoot for 'Ya Yun' magazine. The pay isn't much, but 'Ya Yun' sells well. If all goes well, it should be done in about half a day. I just made an appointment with them for tomorrow. Xiao Yuan isn't with you, so how about I arrange another assistant for you?"
She guessed that Xiaoyuan was probably going to resign. Other artists had two or three assistants, but her own artist only had one. So, she had to choose carefully and pick someone who was capable and perceptive.
"I found an assistant myself. He's quite clever, but I don't know if he can join our company. If not, I'll just pay his salary myself."
She was referring to Qiangzi, of course. Anyway, the kid from Longcheng had also returned on orders. Since that was the case, why not just make him a full-time employee of Xingyao? She didn't care about anything else, just that Qiangzi could earn an extra salary.
"That's easy. Just have him come to the company this afternoon, and I'll talk to HR."
Li Ruan: "Okay, then I'll have him come this afternoon."
Qiangzi, who received a text message from PearSoft: ...
Luo Jiaxing's studio is also in Longcheng. He returned here after recovering from his illness. After all, he is a small business owner. Although he can remotely direct operations, there are still many things in the studio that he needs to handle personally.
"Boss, am I really going to report to Xingyao this afternoon?"
Luo Jiaxing looked away from his phone screen. "Go ahead. Your position in the studio will still be held. As for what to do, you know, right?"
Qiangzi: "Got it, got it! Don't worry, boss, I'll tell you as soon as possible if anything happens to Sister Ruan."
In the afternoon, Qiangzi went to Xingyao to complete his onboarding procedures.
Inside a luxurious room in the Yu family mansion in Longcheng.
Sitting on the sofa was an extremely beautiful woman. She had long, straight black hair that reached her hips, almond-shaped eyes, a high nose, and thin but well-defined lips. All ten of her fingers were painted with beautiful patterns. Even when she was in her own room, she wore expensive designer clothes, had exquisite makeup on her face, and sat very properly.
However, even though she was alone in the room, she would occasionally blurt out a sentence.
"She's been back for two days now, she must know I had her blacklisted, so why isn't her resentment level increasing at all? Is there something wrong with this lousy system of yours?"
She couldn't even use her resentment points to exchange for another high-grade beauty pill.
System: It also suspects there's something wrong with it, because the female lead's luck has increased significantly.
[Please wait two minutes, host, while I perform a full self-check.]
The woman's face grew increasingly gloomy. "Idiot! Hurry up!"
How could an artist not feel resentful when she's blacklisted and can't get any work? And to not only not feel resentful, but also gain good fortune? Isn't that a joke?
The system that was called an idiot: [...]
This wretched thing, it's clearly the most legitimate system, yet it's constantly disliked by its host. It always feels like it's using the wrong system, or that it's simply bound to the wrong host. Otherwise, how could it be in such a miserable state?
After two minutes, the system completed its self-check and found no problems.
It checked the female lead again and finally figured out where the problem lay. [Host, the female lead's lack of resentment is probably related to her recent windfall. Moreover, she not only just signed on to a variety show, but her agent also arranged a magazine shoot for her. In short, her luck has been good lately, which is why she's not too concerned about the blacklist.]
"A large sum of money?"
System: [The specific amount is 124.2 million.]
"So much? Where did this money come from?" Even she couldn't earn this much money at once. No, strictly speaking, as the eldest daughter of the Yu family, she had never had this much money in her entire life!
System: [Only found from Feast.]
"feast?"
[Specific details need to be checked using resentment points.]
Woman: "What good will it do to investigate? Such a large sum of money has been deposited into their account, and the person who was blacklisted still has a job. Why would she be angry?"
Moreover, she didn't have much resentment left, and she couldn't bear to waste it.
"No, we can't wait any longer. I can't just watch her luck rise higher and higher. We have to think of a way to really ruin her reputation."
The host is determined to go down a dead-end road, and no amount of persuasion can stop him. So the system simply pretends to have logged off.
The next day, Qiangzi obediently drove his SUV with Li Ruan to the headquarters of "Ya Yun" magazine.
Except for not being able to accompany her when changing clothes, Qiangzi accompanied her the whole time, living up to her title of all-around assistant. It took a whole day to finally finish the magazine shoot. Just as Li Ruan finished the shoot, changed clothes, and was about to leave, she received a call from an unknown number. "Is this Ms. Li Ruan? I have an advertising contract I'd like to discuss with you."
Li Ruan glanced at the phone number again, then pressed record: "Hello, who is this?"
"I am Hu Suren, the head of the advertising department of Mo's Cosmetics. You can just call me Minister Hu. Ms. Li's image is very suitable for our products. I wonder if Ms. Li would be interested in endorsing our products?"
Li Ruan: "Minister Hu, shouldn't this kind of thing be handled by my agent? Why did you come directly to me?"
Minister Hu chuckled, "Before we talk to your agent, we'd like to invite you out for a makeup trial. If it's suitable, we can contact your agent later. I wonder if Ms. Li has time now?"
Li Ruan: "I just finished filming the commercial, so I have time now. Where shall we meet?"
After the other party gave an address, the call ended. Qiangzi immediately said, "Sister Ruan, you can't go there. There's something fishy going on."
Li Ruan gave him a reassuring look, "If we don't go, wouldn't it be a waste of all the arrangements they made? Anyway, we don't have anything to do today, so let's just have some fun."
Qiangzi: Are you sure we're not going to become someone else's fun?
"Hurry up and get your equipment out, let's do a live stream too."
Qiangzi: ...
Half an hour later, Qiangzi drove Liruan to the agreed hotel. Liruan adjusted the brooch on her dress and, after confirming that everything was alright, led Qiangzi into the hotel.
At the same time, PearSoft also quietly opened its live streaming room.
Without prior notice, the viewers were drawn in by her title: "The Anchor Shows You How to Spot a Scammer's Tricks."
