Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Each one depends on his ability
"Do you know what sunk costs are?" he suddenly asked. "Even though he knew it was a mistake to be obsessed with me, he couldn't cut his losses in time."
Ji Hanxi had learned about the concept that Vivienne mentioned when he searched for psychological effects before.
The rich second generation had invested so much upfront that he wouldn't give up. He figured, having already given so much, stopping now would get him nothing, and perhaps adding more would win him over. With this gambler's mentality, Vivienne didn't even have to do anything; the rich second generation would keep spending money on him.
Ji Hanxi naturally knew that what he said was right, but the arrogant and complacent tone and the extreme confidence in her beauty made her extremely disgusted and disgusted!
Are you afraid of sunk costs? Isn't it enough for her to be more beautiful than those so-called costs? Weighing the pros and cons, he chose the greater one. If he could gain more by giving up Vivienne, then he would give it up without hesitation.
"Besides... your methods are as childish as children playing house. Are you sure you can seduce him away?" He said this slowly with a smile, and raised his eyes slightly, his gaze falling on her face.
Ji Hanxi felt that his eyes were full of provocation, a signal for war! It was a disparagement and contempt for her methods, as well as a disdain and mockery of her scheming!
"Whether or not you can win is not up to Teacher Vivienne. I will also be broadcasting live soon. Whoever gets the top spot will be determined by their own ability!"
Ji Hanxi leaned over, leaning over to his ear, and whispered in a bad tone. Her long hair hung down, and when the wind blew, it intertwined with the champagne hair.
She is not afraid of him.
She never thought that she was any worse than him, it was just that she was unlucky and was born a few years later so she didn't have as many fans as him.
He said that her methods were childish, but she wanted to see how mature and sophisticated his methods were. She didn't want a veteran who had been immersed in the Internet for many years to be defeated by a novice. If that happened, it would be a loss of both face and battle, and it would be embarrassing and shameful!
He didn't say anything, but just looked away, his long eyelashes drooping slightly, his eyes falling on the tangled long hair...
After saying this rather arrogant remark, Ji Hanxi turned around and left. Before leaving, she did not forget to take away the fake book. She casually stuffed it in a corner and didn't even want to give it to him.
"Sister Nanzhi, I'm back!"
"Just now your operator Mumu was looking for you, but you weren't there."
"What does she want from me?"
"She said your account has been created."
"Okay, I got it. Thank you, Sister Nanzhi." Ji Hanxi opened WeChat and sent a message to Mumu. Although the operations department was not far from here, she was too lazy to walk those few steps.
Mumu gave her two accounts, one specifically for posting videos to increase followers and attract publicity, and the other for future live broadcasts.
Ji Hanxi recorded the account number and password. Both the company and she have the right to log in and use these two accounts, which are equivalent to public property.
As for her original account, she didn't plan to cancel it. Instead, she kept it as a secondary account, where she could post some work in her spare time. After all, no matter how high the number of followers and traffic a work account had, it couldn't be as free and private as a personal account. Furthermore, if she ever had a conflict with the company and her primary account was taken away, she would at least have her secondary account as a fallback.
There wasn't much to do on her first day. Mumu was still sorting out data about popular online celebrities, preparing to send her an Excel spreadsheet. Seeing how hard she worked, Ji Hanxi ordered milk tea and dessert for her, and also ordered milk tea for everyone in the content department.
Sister Nanzhi drank milk tea and ate cake, praising her repeatedly, "Hanxi is such a good child, beautiful, good personality, everything is good, except for one thing..."
"A little bit of what?"
"It's because I'm too nice, which makes me prone to being bullied. For example, even I declined the coffee delivery this morning. You should understand that this isn't a good thing. How can you just deliver coffee when your boss asks you to? You need to know how to say no. You should refuse things you don't want to do."
Ji Hanxi listened to this and nodded repeatedly. Very good. She had established an image of a weak person who was easily bullied in everyone's mind.
This way, when she bullies Vivienne in the future, no one will think that she is bullying him, but that he is bullying her.
"Ah... I didn't understand at first. I thought it was just a simple matter of sending a cup of coffee. I didn't expect Teacher Vivienne to have such a personality."
Ji Hanxi started talking in a tea-like manner, "I think the coffee I made today didn't satisfy the teacher. Will Teacher Vivienne target me in the future? The boss also asked Teacher Vivienne to guide me, so wouldn't it be very convenient for him to take revenge on me? I'm so scared now, my heart is pounding, and I don't know what to do."
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. If he targets you, we will help you."
"Really? Sister Nanzhi, you guys have to help me when the time comes."
"Don't worry, I will." Nanzhi finished the last bite of cake. "By the way, Mumu just sent me a message asking me to take you around. Come on, I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the environment."
Nanzhi took her on a tour, starting from the bottom floor, explaining the building as they went. Each floor of the building was decorated differently: the upper floor might have a classical style, the lower floor a European one. Even within the same floor, there were several compartments, each with its own unique character.
When the two went up one floor, they met a filming team.
Ji Hanxi remembered this team. He ran into them filming the first time he arrived at the company, and he didn't expect to see them filming today as well.
"She's a model worker at the company. Her team works almost 365 days a year. But her hard work pays off. She's now the most popular short video comedy blogger on Douyin and one of the company's most profitable IPs this year."
Nanzhi took her to greet the blogger, looking very familiar with him.
"Look! This is our newcomer in the beauty category. What do you think? Does he look good?"
Paipai Xiaomu's eyes fell on Ji Hanxi and he nodded continuously, "She is indeed beautiful! She is very impressive at first sight."
She held up a thick stack of scripts, flipped through a few pages, and said, "There's a scene where I need a beautiful woman to appear at the end. I hadn't decided who to cast yet, but now that I've seen her, she seems like a perfect fit. I wonder if she has time to help with the filming for a few minutes?"
"You have to ask them yourself!"
Nanzhi turned and looked at Ji Hanxi.
Ji Hanxi responded: "Of course, Sister Mu, but I've never filmed before, so I don't really understand these things."
"It's okay, it's very simple. Come on, let's go to the big terrace on the 10th floor."
Ji Hanxi originally thought that she only needed to show up briefly, but she didn't expect that Paipai Xiaomu would find a makeup artist to re-do her hair and even gave her new clothes to change into.
The new outfit is a pink puffy maid outfit, and the new look is a white-eared cat girl with long curly hair.
Ji Hanxi stood there in a daze, clutching her new outfit. She was comfortable with hot, sexy outfits, but she was at a loss when it came to ultra-cute outfits. She knew she was more of a pretty type, not a cute one, and she was afraid she'd look out of place.
"Put it on, it feels so cute!"
"Maybe it's unexpectedly suitable for you."
"Change quickly, I want to see the cat girl!"
She was coaxed into the fitting room by everyone. After changing, she nervously grabbed the hem of her skirt and walked out quite awkwardly.
"It's so beautiful! Be bold and open! Don't bow your head!"
"She'll definitely be the face of Japanese idols!"
"It's their loss that AKB48 didn't choose you!"
Ji Hanxi knew that Sister Nanzhi and Paipai Xiaomu deliberately said such words in such a tone just to make her happy and let her wear this dress without any psychological burden.
But have you ever thought that exaggeration may have the opposite effect... She felt so ashamed when she heard such praise that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
When she looked up, she saw someone across from her wearing the exact same outfit as her.
It's also a pink maid outfit, with long curly hair and cat ears, but the difference is that the wearer is a fat, dark, bearded man. The makeup isn't done well, or perhaps it's deliberately sloppy, just to create a huge contrast between the outfit and the man himself.
The uncle enjoyed wearing this outfit and didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
The scene was about a male colleague who went to buy coffee and was bumped by someone. The person was so strong that the male colleague turned around several times before falling to the ground.
Before he passed out, he saw the pink and white cat girl from the maid cafe rushing towards him anxiously, and his male colleague fainted with a sweet, perverted smile.
But in fact, the cat girl was a fat, dark-skinned, bearded middle-aged man wearing a pink maid outfit. Everything was just an illusion before she fainted.
Ji Hanxi followed the filming crew to the 10th floor terrace. Halfway there, she suddenly remembered something very important. Could Vivienne still be there?
She looked down at her maid dress, raised her hand to touch the cat ears on her head, and subconsciously stepped back with her legs in Mary Jane and white silk stockings tied with a bow.
"What's wrong? Do you regret not wanting to take the photo?" Nanzhi leaned close to her and asked in a low voice.
Ji Hanxi didn't answer immediately, but looked left and right at the terrace, carefully searching every corner to make sure the person he didn't want to see was still there. Fortunately, there was no sign of Vivienne.
It's so hot outside, and he is so delicate and loves beauty, he must have hidden in the air-conditioned room long ago.
Ji Hanxi thought so, straightened his back, and walked onto the terrace with a swagger, "No, why would I go back on my word?"
The team atmosphere was exceptionally good, perhaps because everyone was around 20 years old and very humorous. The filming efficiency was also very high, with the scene being shot in just a few minutes, and everyone was laughing and joking afterwards.
Although the uncle is nearly middle-aged, he can liven up the atmosphere more than most young people. Under his rough appearance, he has a cute girlish heart.
Ji Hanxi was inspired to jump and skip, and her fluffy skirt swayed like a squirrel's tail.
"You have to wink at me like this!" The uncle put his hands on his hips, tilted his head, spread his legs, pouted, squinted his eyes, and gave a super cute wink!
"Is that so?"
Ji Hanxi tried hard to imitate him, but she couldn't capture the essence of the uncle. She mostly followed Korean groups, and her wink was more subtle, focusing on the atmosphere. She had never tried the super exaggerated Japanese wink.
"That's not right. You have to pout your lips, tilt your head to the right, and turn your feet inwards, understand? Your legs must also turn inwards, that's the standard for a Japanese beautiful girl!"
"Is that so?" Ji Hanxi tried hard to pose. She no longer had the initial sense of restraint.
The uncle is so free and easy, as if this dress is tailor-made for him! If she is still awkward, she will look petty. She also wants to be confident! She also wants to feel that this dress is tailor-made for her! She is so beautiful and cute, she looks good in anything!
"Yes, yes, it looks a bit like that, but not exaggerated enough. Let me cast a cuteness spell on you to make you even cuter!"
The uncle quickly formed seals with his hands and chanted, "Kitty's paws are so soft, the stars blink so sweetly! Spin in circles and sprinkle powdered sugar, pu ling ling puff puff puff - full of cute energy!"
Looking at the uncle's serious look, it seemed as if he was really performing some magic, but why did this word sound so embarrassing.
"Oops! I don't seem to have enough cute energy. Everyone, please help me make this cat-eared beauty even cuter!"
Nanzhi and Paipai Xiaomu were originally looking at the original frames when they heard the uncle's call and gathered around. They almost didn't hesitate at all, excitedly joining in the activity.
"Here! Take this!"
The uncle took out a magic wand from somewhere. It had two wings on it, a star in the middle, and a big pink bow tied on it.
"While we're chanting the spell, you need to spin around and jump a bit, pretending to be a magical girl transforming. At the final freeze frame, hold your wand in front of you with your left hand, make a fist with your right hand like a kitten's paw, and gently shake it against your cheek. Got it?"
“…”
Ji Hanxi really wanted to refuse.
But everyone gathered around, forming a circle like they did in anime to give energy to the protagonist, and everyone was ready to go, as if they really wanted to give her some cute energy.
She really didn't want to spoil everyone's fun, so she had to bite the bullet and continue with them. When everyone went crazy together, the scene became interesting. If she was too normal, she would not fit in, so she might as well go crazy with them.
"The kitty's paws are so soft, and the stars' eyes are so sweet! They spin in circles and sprinkle powdered sugar, poof poof poof poof—all full of cute energy!"
Everyone chanted the spell at the same time, and she jumped twice and raised her magic wand.
Then, she saw the boss and...Vivienne in the direction the magic wand was pointing.
Vivienne looked at her, her gaze sweeping from the magic wand to the cat ears and then to the maid's skirt. She tilted her head slightly, a hint of confusion and confusion clearly revealed in her eyes.
Ji Hanxi felt as if struck by lightning. She supported herself on the ground with her hands and stared blankly at the ground. Her face, shame, dignity and soul were all drained away at this moment.
Why…why, why did she have to be seen now, when she was at her most embarrassing? Ahhhhhhhhhh she wanted to go crazy! Why did he do this to her? Why not see her sooner or later, why at this time? Ahhhhhhhh!
