“It’s not that I’m scared,” Mo Jingjing denied. “I just don’t want to lose my job over such a small thing. I want to make money.”
Through the original owner's memories, Mo Jingjing learned that there were no star beasts harassing human homes on their home planet Earth. Although there were occasional conflicts between countries, overall, it was a very peaceful world.
Mo Jingjing liked this kind of world, where she didn't have to fight desperately on the battlefield, nor did she have to watch helplessly as her comrades fell one by one in front of her.
Years of fighting have left Mo Jingjing with a weariness that emanates from her very bones. Now, by chance, she has come to this peaceful era. She doesn't want to do anything but want to unload the burden on her shoulders and become a carefree, unambitious person.
The first step to ensuring a comfortable and worry-free retirement is to earn your own retirement savings.
Thinking of the pitifully small amount of money on the original card, making money became even more urgent.
Mo Jingjing turned to Cheng Meng, "Sister Cheng, what are my current schedules?"
Cheng Meng couldn't help but roll her eyes. "No! Because of your incident with Actor Su, the entire entertainment industry has exploded. How could we possibly arrange work for you at a time like this?"
"Even if it exists, it will be stopped immediately after your explosive news comes out!"
"But I have no money left."
Seeing Mo Jingjing's pitiful appearance, Cheng Meng couldn't bear it. "Wait a bit. Once this storm passes, I'll find someone to arrange a job for you in the film crew. Right now, I really can't find a way to get you any work."
Mo Jingjing knew there was nothing she could do at this point, so she nodded obediently to indicate that she understood.
Seeing Mo Jingjing's unprecedentedly well-behaved appearance, Cheng Meng raised her eyebrows slightly. It seems that people still need to experience a few setbacks. She could clearly feel that Mo Jingjing had become much more well-behaved and sensible after this scandal.
Seeing Mo Jingjing's attitude, Cheng Meng's expression softened considerably. "Let's go, it's getting late, we should go back to the company."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mo Jingjing's stomach made a rumbling sound.
Cheng Meng paused, her face darkening as she looked at Mo Jingjing. "How poor are you? You don't even have money for food?"
"never mind."
Before Mo Jingjing could speak, Cheng Meng spoke again, "Since you've been obedient and sensible today, I'll treat you to a meal. Let's go."
She then pulled Mo Jingjing into a famous Hunan restaurant, took the menu from the waiter and handed it to Mo Jingjing, saying, "Order whatever you want."
Mo Jingjing reached out and took the menu, staring at the dazzling array of dishes with disbelief in her eyes. "I can order anything."
"certainly!"
After receiving Cheng Meng's confirmation, Mo Jingjing lowered her eyes to look at the menu in her hand and cautiously said, "Then I'd like a serving of hand-shredded cabbage and stir-fried green peppers with pork."
After ordering those two side dishes, Mo Jingjing didn't dare to order anything else.
In the interstellar era, all plants and animals were on the verge of extinction. Artificial breeding of these species required a huge amount of manpower and resources, to the point that even the most ordinary stir-fry could be sold for an exorbitant price.
Therefore, even though Mo Jingjing was a major general, she had never tasted the flavor of food. Her daily rations consisted of various flavored nutrient solutions.
And now, she actually ordered two side dishes, one meat and one vegetable, which is absolutely heinous!
Cheng Meng, however, frowned and asked, "Two dishes? Don't you think that's too few?"
"Waiter, one more steamed fish head with chopped chili peppers, please!"
Upon hearing Cheng Meng's words, Mo Jingjing looked at her with excitement, feeling the presence of an angel for the first time.
She swallowed hard and declined, saying, "Sister Cheng, wouldn't this be too much of an expense for you?"
"Don't worry, I can afford this amount of money!"
After Cheng Meng finished speaking, she looked at Mo Jingjing suspiciously, feeling that the other party was acting strangely today.
Mo Jingjing noticed Cheng Meng's unusual behavior, but she didn't have the mind to analyze the other woman's feelings at the moment, because the food she had ordered had just arrived.
Hand-torn cabbage is crisp and sweet, stir-fried green peppers with pork is crunchy and refreshing, and chopped chili fish head is soft and tender with a delicious spicy flavor.
These delicious foods, which she had never tasted before, made Mo Jingjing feel like she had arrived in paradise.
At the same time, she secretly made a decision: she must earn twice as much money as a normal retirement fund, and use all of it to enjoy all kinds of delicious food!
Having made up her mind, Mo Jingjing put down her chopsticks and said seriously, "Sister Cheng, is there really no way to arrange some work for me right now? I don't mind if it's dirty or tiring. I want to start working right now."
That way she can earn her retirement money sooner!
Upon hearing this, Cheng Meng sized her up and down. "Mo Jingjing, not to be blunt, but tell me, besides your face, what else do you have that's worth mentioning?"
"I don't care if it's dirty or tiring. Knowing you as I do, I'd probably cry and want to leave as soon as you get in! If I really gave you a job like that, you'd probably get even worse attacks from netizens online!"
Mo Jingjing's eyes lit up. "So, Sister Cheng, you really do have such a job?"
Cheng Meng did not deny it, saying, "I do have such resources, but I still maintain that you are not suitable."
"I haven't even gone yet, how do you know I'm not suited for some things? You'll never know how far you can go until you actually experience them."
Mo Jingjing blinked, not wanting to miss any opportunity to earn her retirement money.
"Sister Cheng, I promise you, no matter what resources you have right now, I will treat them with the utmost seriousness."
Cheng Meng was somewhat tempted by Mo Jingjing's words. She hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Since you've put it that way, then I won't hide it from you. I do have a resource right now, a variety show about surviving on a deserted island."
"In order to create a realistic effect, this show always goes to some natural and dangerous places. It can be said that this variety show can only guarantee that you won't die from an accident during the show, and can't offer any other guarantees."
"Because of the dangerous nature of the show, many times, the guests participating in the show forget that they are participating in a variety show. In order to survive, they will do some selfish things and reveal the despicable side of human nature."
"It's also because this variety show is too real that no matter how popular it is, those super popular celebrities won't participate in it."
"The only people who come here are those obscure, unknown celebrities who want to boost their popularity. But since this variety show started airing, I have never seen anyone actually become popular again because of it."
"Mo Jingjing, if you are confident that you can win over netizens with your genuine personality, kindness, and beauty in this variety show, then you can make a leap forward, turn defeat into victory, and even become a pillar of our Xingyao."
As Cheng Meng spoke, she slightly raised her eyes and said softly, "But, Mo Jingjing, do you dare to bet?"
