If Cheng Shangyu hadn't called, Dai Li would have forgotten that she still had his number.
Not only did she block Cheng Shangyu, she also blacklisted everyone else in the Cheng family.
"Are you even listening to me?" Sister Tu was furious when she saw she was still playing with her phone. She snatched the phone away from her and said, "I'm so anxious, and you still have the mind to look at your phone?"
Dai Li's hands were empty, and she didn't rush to grab the phone. Instead, she said calmly: "I heard you said this was their trap. They deliberately picked a city-level variety show with no attention for me."
"I've checked out the shows their station has produced in previous years, including 'Meeting the Sunset Red,' 'Martial Arts Grandmaster,' and 'Family Rush.' Take a look at what they're all about. You're an idol who relies on your looks to make a living. Do you think you'd be suitable for that?"
Dai Li frowned in disapproval: "Sister Tu, you can't make a living by relying on your looks for long. You still have to rely on your strength to make a living."
Sister Tu looked at her curiously, observing her for a long while. "You've changed so much. You actually said you want to make a living by your own strength. That's a good idea, but do you know your own strength?"
Dai Li took back her cell phone and found the information about "Edison in Plain Situation". She showed the page to Sister Tu.
"I can still handle this variety show."
Sister Tu didn’t know where her inexplicable self-confidence came from, but this confidence made Sister Tu believe her for the time being.
Two days later, Sister Tu discovered that Dai Li seemed to be preparing seriously for the show.
Every time I went to Dai Li's apartment, I either saw her typing on the computer or writing and calculating on paper.
The small apartment was filled with documents and drawings, all of which contained content that Sister Tu could not understand.
And if you go again the next day, you will definitely find that there is more information than the day before.
There are a lot more mechanical parts and circuit boards in my home today.
Seeing that there was almost no place to step in the room, Sister Tu finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Why did you prepare so many things?" Sister Tu put her hands on her hips and frowned in disdain. "Can you read it all? No, I mean, can you understand it?"
Dai Li looked up from the documents on the table and was stunned for a moment when she saw the mess in the house.
She used to have an assistant to help her tidy up, so her laboratory and home were always in good order.
These days she was busy writing down what was in her head. She had originally intended to write down a few things at first, but the more she wrote, the more thoughts came to her mind, and she couldn't stop them.
Apart from her daily physiological needs, she spends all her time recording, and even sleeps on the table.
As a result, it has become what it is now without me noticing.
Dai Li turned her attention back to the computer, typing as she said, "I'll clean up right away, wait until I finish this calculation on hand."
Sister Tu shook her head, sighed, and prepared to help her clean up.
Seeing Sister Tu bending down and trying to move her things, Dai Li quickly stopped her: "Don't move, my things have their own rules. If you move them, I won't be able to find them later."
Sister Tu was startled and immediately gave up the idea of helping her clean up.
I looked up at Dai Li again. She was still concentrating on typing on her keyboard, as if it wasn't her who had just spoken.
Sister Tu tiptoed, carefully avoiding the documents on the floor as she walked towards Dai Li in front of the desk, as if she was playing a game of hide-and-seek.
When Sister Tu approached Dai Li and saw her face clearly, she looked like a stressed cat.
She put one palm on the desk and pinched Dai Li's chin with the other hand, moving her face from the computer screen to her own face.
She asked in horror: "How many days have you not slept?"
Dai Li blinked blankly: "I slept, I sleep every day."
"So when was the last time you slept, and how many hours did you sleep?"
Dai Li glanced at the ceiling and silently calculated the time in her heart.
"Yesterday, I slept from 4am to 9am."
Outside the window, the winter sun sets.
Sister Tu followed and calculated in her mind. She only slept for five hours last time, and now she hasn't slept for more than a day and a night.
She touched Dai Li's face distressedly, with an expression as if she was about to cry: "Why do you want to ruin yourself?"
Dai Li felt warm in her heart. It was hard not to be moved by the feeling of being cared for.
She pulled Sister Tu's hand down and smiled softly: "I'm in good spirits now. I'm not forcing myself to stay up late, but I promise you, I'll go to bed as soon as I finish this."
Sister Tu rolled her eyes and shook off Dai Li's hand, then touched her face distressedly: "I feel distressed for your face. Look at the dark circles, the rough pores, and the pimple. It's only been a few days, and you've made yourself look like this. Do you know that your most valuable thing is this face?"
Dai Li:......
Without saying a word, Sister Tu took out her mobile phone, turned on the front camera, and stood in front of Dai Li's face.
"Look at yourself now."
Dai Li was looking at her own face from the fatal angle of the front camera, and her face occupied the entire phone screen.
After carefully examining her face, she said earnestly, "I think it's fine. It still looks good."
Apart from some bluish discoloration under the eyes, her skin is in good condition. You can't see the large pores in Sister Tu's mouth at all, and the pimple on her forehead is not obvious either.
"Is that good? No, you have to stop what you're doing and go to bed right now."
Dai Li wanted to say something, but she only had one page of data to calculate, which would be done in just over ten minutes.
Sister Tu didn't give her a chance to make excuses: "I don't care what you say, even if the king of heaven comes, you have to go to bed first."
Sister Tu's facial features are sharp, and she has a neat short hair that reaches her ears. Her majesty when she gets angry cannot be underestimated.
Dai Li didn't want to challenge her authority at this time.
I obediently saved the information, found my shoes from under the table, and walked slowly towards the bedroom.
Sister Tu frowned when she saw her unsteady steps.
"Wait a minute, have you eaten yet?"
Dai Li paused, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Eat it."
"Didn't you just eat it yesterday?"
Dai Li didn't say anything.
Sister Tu held her forehead with a headache: "I'll order you a meal. Take a shower first and go to bed after you're full."
After dinner, Dai Li insisted on tidying up the documents in the room before going to bed.
Her things looked messy, but in fact, each set was clipped together with fishtail clips, and the headers and footers were also labeled and classified. It only took her a little more than half an hour to tidy up the room.
Sister Tu: "Do you really need to make so much preparation for a city-level variety show? Have you weighed how many kilograms of paper you have? It should be at least 50 kilograms."
Dai Li didn't count it carefully, but she bought 10 boxes of A4 paper, A1 drawing paper, and some commonly used notebooks at one time, spending most of her already small savings.
Dai Li: "Be prepared, it's better to be prepared."
Sister Tu pointed at a complicated blueprint on the table and said, "Then answer me seriously, can you understand all these things you made?"
Dai Li thought to herself that this was a painting she had drawn herself, how could she not understand it?
But even if I tell Sister Tu that it was her who drew it, she won't believe it.
"I guess so, barely?"
At this moment, Dai Li suddenly remembered the reference books she had bought two days ago, and hurriedly took out two books from behind her, "Semiconductor Physics" and "CMOS Analog Integrated Circuit Design".
"But I'm still learning, and it won't be long before I fully understand it."
After taking out two books, she was still looking for them: "Where are my 'The Art of Java Concurrency Programming', 'Physical Properties of Materials', and 'Mechanical Properties of Engineering Materials'? Where are they?"
Sister Tu was overwhelmed and recalled the scenes of being tortured by physics in middle school.
She patted Dai Li's shoulder heavily and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Sister Tu was moved by Dai Li's spirit of "being a poor student but determined", and took dozens of photos of her information at her home before leaving.
As a qualified agent, she couldn't just be moved by herself. She would release the photos when "Edison Made in Nature" was broadcast, so that all netizens could feel Dai Li's hard work.
No matter how the show performs, our attitude is correct.
The next day, Sister Tu came again.
Without saying a word, she grabbed Dai Li and went straight to the beauty salon. In her words, she would never allow her artists to have skin problems on TV.
Sister Tu made an appointment for Dai Li to have a full skin care routine, from head to toe, including fingernails, all of which needed to be cared for. She was destined to spend the whole day in the beauty salon.
Dai Li lamented the waste of time and obediently lay down on the beauty bed.
Although she was lying down, her brain was never resting. She was either calculating data or thinking about new things.
She didn't even notice when someone came next to the curtain.
The people outside didn't know that it was her lying behind the curtain, and they started chatting and laughing.
"Hey, have you heard? Dai Li is going to record a program on Jinshi TV called 'Edison Made in the Plain'. It makes me laugh to death. Edison? To put it bluntly, it's just a bunch of weird inventions made by rural people in the countryside. It's vulgar and not up to standard."
"Is it like the ones you see in short videos, like the ones where a robotic arm slaps you in the face to wake you up?"
"You're right, it's that kind, so rustic and lw."
"How did she end up taking on such a low-class variety show?"
"What do you mean by 'fallen to the bottom'? I think cheesy, quirky variety shows suit her perfectly. Just think about how much company resources she's wasted. She's been unable to make a name for herself despite all the money she's been throwing at her, and she even stood up the crew. Ye Zheng was practically dying of laughter when she was chatting with me. She got a second female lead for nothing. If I were President Yuan, I would have terminated her contract long ago. I also heard that this show is her last chance. President Yuan has issued an ultimatum: if she doesn't make a splash this time, her acting career will basically be over."
"You said this is the last bit of glory in her acting career. As an artist of the company, shouldn't we support her?"
The person who was speaking was laughing, and his laughter was full of sarcasm.
"I don't want them. They're a bunch of country bumpkins, so unfashionable and tasteless. They love to make up their own tragic stories on TV to gain sympathy. Only my grandparents would watch them."
"But I think the content will be very funny, and I can watch it for fun."
The people outside the curtain suddenly clapped their hands and said excitedly, "Yes! You're right! We can watch it for fun. When the time comes, not only will we go to watch it, we will also promote it to our fans and call them to watch it. I want to see Dai Li die on the spot."
The two female stars were applauding the idea they had just come up with when the curtain next to them was suddenly pulled open.
They still had smiles on their faces, but they turned their heads subconsciously, and then were so scared that they froze in place.
They stared at Dai Li blankly, completely unaware that they were stunned.
Dai Li had just finished cleansing her skin, hydrated her face, and had a face lift.
Now her whole face looks fair, translucent and very shiny. The light from above her head makes it seem as if she is glowing.
It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a fairy descending to earth.
Then they saw the fairy smile, a gentle and warm smile.
"The show I recorded is a little unpopular, thank you for helping me promote it."
Two female stars:?
Is this a mockery of them?
Dai Li took out her mobile phone from behind the curtain, called up her QR code, and showed it in front of them.
"Can I add you on WeChat? I'll let you know when the show airs."
Two female stars: ...
Damn, this woman seems serious!
