Chapter 2 Chapter 2 First Meeting
Just a few minutes after posting it on Moments, I received likes as expected.
She could probably guess who liked and commented on the post, but she didn't want to reply immediately, so she put her phone aside and waited until she finished her professional homework before picking up her phone and slowly browsing it.
She was already tired of those familiar compliments, so she clicked into the comment section and scrolled down, finally finding the one she wanted.
"So beautiful." commented an account whose profile picture is an NBA star kissing a basketball.
Ji Hanxi couldn't help but smile. This circle of friends was sent specifically for him, and he successfully took the bait as expected.
This boy is a sports blogger who has become popular recently. He is also a senior from the same school as her. A video of him playing basketball and showing off his muscles has gone viral. Ji Hanxi also got to know him through that video.
The full biceps and eight-pack abs made her heart flutter when she saw them. She felt that she could feel the strong hormones rushing towards her even through the screen! She felt that this was a man, a man worthy of her love!
But Ji Hanxi has always been a reserved little girl, and she felt that she couldn't be too proactive. So she reluctantly swiped away, neither liking nor following him.
Who knew that a few days later, when she posted her beautiful photos and videos on social media, he liked and followed her, and even sent her a private message to say hello very enthusiastically.
This was a godsend! Ji Hanxi couldn't miss it, so she replied promptly and successfully exchanged WeChat messages.
After adding him on WeChat, she quickly viewed all of his friend circles and account contents, and got a clear idea of his preferences.
She knew that he liked gentle Korean older sisters the most and rarely liked photos of hot girls. But because Ji Hanxi was too beautiful, even he who didn't prefer this type couldn't help but be attracted to her.
Ji Hanxi thought, if her hot girl outfit could make him fall in love with her, wouldn't it be so charming if she changed into a Korean style? Today's Korean style outfit and this circle of friends were all carefully prepared for him.
I clicked on his profile picture and asked:
"Didn't you play basketball today?"
"I'm taking a break today."
The other party responded very quickly, almost instantly.
Ji Hanxi waited for a while, but did not reply to his message. The other party could not hold back any longer and continued:
"Your clothes look great today."
"Special Fairy"
"Wasn't it pretty before?"
"No"
"It was beautiful before too."
"Today is a little more special"
"I've never seen a similar style in your previous photos. I didn't expect you to look so good in clothes like this."
Every time Ji Hanxi was praised, she would wag her tail like a cat, very happy. What's more, this time the compliment was from someone who made her heart crush. When she was thinking about how to reply, another message popped up:
"Can you accompany me to the interview the day after tomorrow?"
This was quite sudden. They had met twice after adding each other on WeChat, both times at the stadium. Every time, he showed off his basketball skills and exuded charm. This was the first time he asked her to accompany him somewhere else.
"Hmm...where should I go for the interview?"
Starlink Interactive Entertainment
"I'm planning to sign a contract with a company and become an internet celebrity."
"Starlink Interactive Entertainment is the largest internet celebrity incubation company in China"
"The agent there contacted me a few days ago."
“They watched my video and were very interested.”
"They said I had great potential."
"Just wanted to meet me once."
“Oh… I didn’t want to go.”
"But he was so proactive and enthusiastic that I couldn't refuse."
"After the interview, I'll treat you to a meal and then a movie."
A series of messages came from the other side, and the words were full of pride and showing off. Ji Hanxi originally typed a lot of words, but in the end he thought about it and deleted them all.
She really didn't want to undermine his confidence, but she had seen him play basketball in real life... She felt that his looks were only good enough to make him an ordinary campus idol, but there was no hope of him becoming a big internet celebrity. She was skeptical about the statement "too proactive and enthusiastic."
The original video went viral quite by accident, and no matter how he replicated it later, it would never reach that level. But seeing how happy he was, she couldn't say anything to dampen his spirits. Besides, the outcome of the interview had nothing to do with her; she just wanted to treat the day after tomorrow as a normal date.
"good"
"See you the day after tomorrow."
She replied.
On that day, Ji Hanxi got up early, put on makeup and dressed herself up. She wore the same new clothes as last time, but this time she was dressed more comprehensively. She had a pearl hairpin on her ear, a beige bag in her hand, and even the small leather shoes on her feet were specially matched to the overall outfit.
After arriving at the designated location by taxi, she sent a message to her senior:
"Senior, I'm here."
"I see you!"
"I'll be right over!"
Ji Hanxi turned around and saw a burly man walking towards her. He was wearing a tight short-sleeved shirt, his shoulders were as broad as double doors, and his chest muscles were bulging.
"School girl is so beautiful!"
"Senior, you look very handsome today! Especially your shoulders, they are so broad and give a sense of security." I've seen him before, but his shoulders were not so broad.
"Haha, it must be that my recent training has had a more obvious effect." He said this while touching the muscle-padded prosthetic shoulder he had carefully padded that morning.
Ji Hanxi followed him and went to Starlink Interactive Entertainment. The company had its own building, with a very simple design using black, white and gray, giving it a cool yet fashionable feel.
"Mr. Yu, right?"
As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a receptionist wearing a slim dress. She had an exquisite work badge tucked into her chest, and her smile and the curve of her waist were impeccable.
"Yes, I have an appointment with your agent, Mr. Li, for an interview at this time."
"Okay, Mr. Yu, please follow me."
The senior followed her for a few steps and suddenly stopped. "Oh, I almost forgot! My junior came with me to the interview. Is there any place for her to sit and rest for a while?"
"Don't worry, someone will take this young lady to the lounge, where there are sofas, tea and desserts."
"Can I walk around and have a look?" Ji Hanxi was full of curiosity as it was his first time in this place.
"Of course, the young lady is free to wander around. If there's anything she wants to know, I can have a colleague accompany her."
"Thank you, no thanks, I just want to wander around."
"But remember, you can walk around freely from the 1st to the 12th floors, but you cannot go up to the 13th floor, absolutely not." The lady at the front desk changed her tone, sounding quite warning.
Ji Hanxi nodded. Although she didn't understand why the other party suddenly became so serious, she just followed the host's wishes and didn't need to delve into it.
After her senior left, she wandered around and noticed how crowded the company was. There were fifteen floors in total, some of which were used for video and photo shoots, while others were offices, housing the Marketing Department, Publicity and Promotion Department, Content Creation Department, Business Development Department, Finance Department, Human Resources Department, and Technology Development Department.
Everyone was working diligently at their computers, just like the average slackers struggling to survive in a typical company. The only difference was that she ran into a team shooting a short abstract video at the set-up location. They were all young people, and the working atmosphere was excellent.
She stood on the 12th floor and looked down, watching them laughing and filming videos on the balcony on the 10th floor.
Suddenly, there was a clear "Ding!" sound and the elevator door opened.
The hard soles of boots tapped on the marble tiles, and the cold footsteps were getting closer and closer, and at the same time, the sound of their conversation was getting closer and closer.
"Your personality is really not popular with men. If you keep wasting time, you will end up being an empty-nest woman sooner or later."
"Why should I please men? What does 0 have to do with me?"
"You're not going to say that someone like you is straight, are you?"
"I'm not straight."
"That's what I said!"
"Straight men like women. I don't like women, and of course, I don't like men either."
"So what do you like?"
"money."
"I mean sexual orientation."
"money."
"You love money so much? If someone offered you a high price to spend a night with him, would you agree?"
"If there's enough money, it's not impossible."
"Wow! What's the difference between you and a high-end peripheral?"
The voice was half-smiley. "The biggest difference right now is that no one in this world makes 'enough' money. They'll never make enough in their lifetime to touch me. I'm not like you, cheap as a public toilet, people can come and go as they please."
"Fuck! Are you sick?! This isn't just a question of cheapness. You're insulting my sexual orientation! I'm straight!"
Ji Hanxi had no intention of listening to their conversation, but the vicious tone of one of the voices was too familiar. She had been tortured by this voice countless times in the dormitory, so she couldn't help but turn her head to look.
Two people walked towards the elevator.
A man wearing a striped sports suit, with short hair and ordinary looks, but the bright Gi logo on his clothes was too flashy.
The other one can be described as both familiar and unfamiliar, with waist-length champagne-colored hair, light mixed-race makeup, and nude lip gloss, making her look beautiful and classy.
She wore a black turtleneck, a black windbreaker, and black leather boots, revealing very little skin, but exuding a charm that only made it more obvious. Her eyes were full of charm, more alluring than those who were too blatant.
He is more stunning in real life than in the video, cold, charming and gorgeous, like a rose frozen in an ice field, or a sharp knife stained with blood.
Ji Hanxi didn’t know much about famous brands, and didn’t know what brand the clothes he was wearing were, but judging from the extraordinary texture and feel, the price must be shockingly high.
The only thing she recognized was the platinum, diamond-encrusted Chaumet necklace around his neck. This brand became famous due to a recent scandal involving a male celebrity. It was said that a small ring cost as much as 500,000 yuan, and that these jewels were not sold individually but as complete sets, including rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, brooches, hairpins, etc., with a set costing around 20 million yuan.
These damn rich people! She thought bitterly.
When the two men passed by her, Ji Hanxi heard the conversation again, but this time it was about her.
"…a new Chanel model?"
"It's fake. The material of the clothes is very cheap. It's obviously cheap."
She was sure those two sentences were definitely directed at her, because she noticed the demon's gaze lingered on her for a moment. Although it was less than half a second, she keenly caught it, so she turned around and glared back at him fiercely.
What do you mean fake?
What she bought with real money is real.
Moreover, she didn't even search for any branded goods. She just bought the clothes casually on Taobao. She didn't buy any A-grade goods. She is just beautiful and has a good temperament. Whatever she wears makes people think it is a famous brand at first glance. Is this her fault?
The two of them walked a long way away, but she was still trapped in anger.
That damn demon man's face must have been made up and rejuvenated! I don't know how many times he's been on the cold operating table to finally look like a human. His original appearance must have been awful! So disgusting!
