Because she had invited such a big shot as Jiang Li to accompany her on the variety show, Tian Tian was always afraid of neglecting her.
Thinking of her previous plans, Tian Tian's expression became more serious, but she still spoke with some embarrassment, "Jiang Li, um..."
"Hmm?" Jiang Li noticed Tian Tian's hesitation and unease, and couldn't help but wonder, "Are you feeling unwell? Why do you seem so agitated all of a sudden?"
“No…” Tian Tian shook her head, then continued, “I know that inviting you to participate in this variety show is not a good job for you, but I don’t have anything else to do, so I thought I would give you all the appearance fee after paying taxes and deducting the share.”
"So generous?" Jiang Li looked surprised.
Tian Tian became increasingly embarrassed, her face flushed, and she said in a soft voice, "In our industry, exposure and popularity are sometimes much more important than appearance fees. If we cooperate, you get the money, and I get the popularity—it's a perfect match."
Jiang Li gave Tian Tian a deep look, and finally smiled, "Okay, deal."
This girl deserves to be famous.
After explaining all this to Jiang Li, Tian Tian, in order to show her sincerity, specially gave Jiang Li the contract that she had asked Fu Yunze to draft.
Although she wasn't confident that Jiang Li would definitely agree, what if he did?
So she did a very thorough job of preparing.
Jiang Li took the contract, glanced at it casually, and then signed her name.
Tian Tian had seen the talismans drawn by Jiang Li before, but she couldn't understand the runes at all. Now, seeing her handwriting, she couldn't help but show an expression of amazement.
"Your handwriting is amazing! It must have taken you more than ten years to write like this! Sigh... Compared to your handwriting, mine looks like a dog's scribbles."
She was too embarrassed to sign it.
However, not signing is not an option.
So when her handwriting appeared on the same page as Jiang Li's, her already slightly flushed face instantly became burning hot.
"I'm sorry!" Tian Tian immediately stood up straight, solemnly apologized to Jiang Li, and finally bowed to her.
Jiang Li looked puzzled. "What's wrong with you?"
How could it suddenly be like this...?
"Putting your handwriting next to mine is truly an insult to you," Tian Tian said sincerely.
Although she didn't know much about calligraphy, she had seen quite a few works, but compared to Jiang Li's calligraphy...
She thought Jiang Li's handwriting was better.
Thinking it over, Tian Tian suddenly became bolder and asked with a pleading look, "Jiang Li, could you please write a piece of calligraphy for me? I feel that hanging your calligraphy in my home would not only make it look classy, but also ward off evil spirits!"
Jiang Li's lips curled up slightly. She didn't refuse and readily agreed, "Okay."
"You agreed so easily?" Tian Tian was a little surprised. "I think your calligraphy is very valuable. How could you agree to it so easily?"
"So, is it good or bad that I agree? Do you want it or not?" Jiang Li asked seriously.
Tian Tian immediately straightened her attitude, "Of course I want it! But I can't take it for free. We have to give and take. If you write for me, I have to give you something in return."
"Then..." Jiang Li tilted her head and thought for a moment, then asked very seriously, "Can you cook?"
"Cough..." Tian Tian hesitated for a moment, then said very tactfully, "It's edible."
"Then you should take advantage of the time before the variety show starts filming to work on your cooking skills." Jiang Li still values cooking. "Since you know you'll be tormented, the director will definitely make the guests cook for themselves. I can't, so this task will have to be left to you."
Upon hearing this, Tian Tian immediately seemed to have received an important mission, and her attitude became very serious. "Okay, I will practice my cooking skills diligently during this time!"
Even if you can't compare to a master chef, you should at least be able to cook ordinary home-style dishes well.
"It's settled then." Jiang Li nodded in satisfaction. "Let's go."
"Huh?" Tian Tian was taken aback. "Where are we going?"
What do you think?
"Oh, oh, oh, let's go, let's go!"
Since the goal is to write a piece of calligraphy, it is natural to prepare all the necessary writing tools.
You can't just write on any piece of paper, can you?
The two went to a specialty shop, and the items there were, in Jiang Li's opinion, quite good.
But the price...
It's also far too inflated.
However, it's already quite good to have found such a place. If we're too picky, then it's pointless.
Tian Tian was choosing paper, but since she didn't know much about it, she could only ask Jiang Li, "Which type of paper should I choose? Which one do you prefer?"
"Whatever you like." Jiang Li didn't seem to mind. "Even if you asked me to write on a tissue, I could do it. I'm just worried you might not be able to keep it safe."
Tian Tian: "..."
She can't be relied on; she'd better fend for herself.
So Tian Tian went to the boss, told him her requirements, and asked him to recommend someone.
Finally, Tian Tian chose her favorite category from the several categories recommended by the boss.
Then she presented it to Jiang Li like a treasure, her tone slightly smug, "How was my choice?"
"Not bad, I can tell you put a lot of thought into your selection." Jiang Li tapped Tian Tian's head and then asked the shopkeeper for a few more items.
She has her own unique little quirks when she writes.
She uses different inks to mix her favorite colors and concentrations, which gives her writing a more soulful quality.
Of course, most people don't have such outrageous hobbies.
The shopkeeper assumed Jiang Li wanted to buy those ink sticks to take home, but when he saw her chipping off a bit of one ink stick and leaving a bit of another, his expression changed instantly.
"Young lady, these things aren't cheap. Even though you bought them, don't waste them."
The boss is in this line of work not only to make money, but also because he enjoys it.
He couldn't stand seeing others waste good things like that.
Jiang Li looked up at the shop owner, her hands still moving, "It's not a waste, I like using it this way."
Seeing that Jiang Li was indeed a seasoned pro, the boss didn't say anything more.
However, his shop didn't have many customers to begin with, so he simply stood aside and watched Jiang Li fuss over there.
Then he saw Jiang Li mix up a very peculiar color of ink.
It was black with a hint of red, and the red had a faint golden sheen.
He even doubted his own eyes.
Soon, he saw Jiang Li casually pick up a pen and write on the paper that Tian Tian had chosen, looking very relaxed.
The characters were clearly delicate and beautiful, yet they also possessed an indescribable sense of strength, a blend of elegance and grandeur, restraint and wildness...
They blended together very well.
Despite being different styles, they complement each other perfectly, making it seem as if they were meant to be this way.
Tian Tian was so captivated by it that her eyes were glued to the screen.
The boss was so excited he couldn't speak.
This little girl...
That's something else.
Oh no...
The word "some" is not used correctly; it should be "a lot" or "very impressive"!
Jiang Li wrote a scripture, the contents of which were perfect for Tian Tian to use to exorcise ghosts and ward off evil spirits.
It takes a few minutes to write, and after the ink dries, it is framed.
Holding the framed calligraphy in her hand, Tian Tian couldn't help but exclaim, "Holding this piece of calligraphy, I instantly felt that my cultural level had reached an unprecedented height."
Jiang Li's lips twitched slightly, but she didn't say anything.
The shop owner hesitated for a moment before finally asking, "Do you sell this calligraphy?"
