"Knock, knock, knock!"

The sudden knock on the door startled Lan Zihan. She accidentally pressed the hang-up button and the call was hung up. When she called back, the other party was no longer on the line.

Lan Zihan sighed and went to open the door.

The moment she opened the door, Lan Zihan thought she was dreaming. The person standing at the door was Xiao Keke. She was carrying a schoolbag and pulling a suitcase, standing at the door with sweat all over her face.

The two of them standing like this were a bit awkward.

After a long while, Xiao Keke finally spoke: "I know that Manager Hu is going to arrange your debut, so I took the initiative to ask to be your agent. You... won't dislike me, right?"

"Xiao Han, actually, I have always wanted to apologize to you. I have always regarded you as my best friend. You have said more than once that you can help me with my tuition and living expenses, but I don't want to do that, so... forget it, I'm sorry." Xiao Keke bit her lips tightly.

Lan Zihan stretched out her hand and hugged her in her arms. Fortunately, this hug came not too late.

The moment of emotion lasted less than two minutes, and Lan Zihan started complaining again, "Are you out of your mind, sister? You will be promoted to manager soon, and your annual salary will be 200,000 soon. You want to be my agent, do you want to starve to death with me?"

"Xiao Keke! You are so stupid. The apartment assigned to you by your company before is twice the size of this one, and the office environment is also a super luxurious office building, without running around. I say you are stupid, but I am flattering you! You have tarnished the word stupid!"

Xiao Keke was cleaning the room while listening to Lan Zihan's complaints.

Then, when Lan Zihan turned off her complaining mode, she found that the room had been tidied and cleaned up. She even pulled Xiao Keke onto the bed and gave him a big kiss, "Keke, what would I do without you?"

"Okay, you're so disgusting, my sexual orientation is normal, okay?" Xiao Keke pushed Lan Zihan's face away with disgust.

The two of them laughed and played for a while, then lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling quietly.

"Xiao Han, what are you going to do next? To be honest, I'm worried about you. Manager Hu is very stingy. I've seen the contract he gave you. I know a little bit about this circle. Even some small-time celebrities have to spend tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars a month. I have some savings, but not much. I don't know if we..."

Lan Zihan covered Xiao Keke's mouth, "So, for you, I have to become famous too. It's just one year. I'll make that Hu Jianmen kneel down and beg me to renew his contract!" Lan Zihan said firmly.

If it weren't for Xiao Keke, she wouldn't have such great ambitions.

"Okay, then we will share the good and the bad!"

"Yes!"

In the next few days, Xiao Keke took Lan Zihan to buy a few dresses and daily clothes, because Lan Zihan didn't bring anything when she went out. She also bought some daily necessities. In just a few days, Lan Zihan spent all the 10,000 yuan she got from Hu Zhengping. Xiao Keke also took out some of her own savings.

When she was free, Lan Zihan would still call Chu Tiance's mobile number, but either no one answered or it was turned off, and she never got through again.

It took Lan Zihan five days to finally adapt to her new residence, accept her new identity, and start a new life.

A week later, she began her road to fame as a star.

Hu Zhengping assigned Lan Zihan a new task. There were several fast songs in the album, and Lan Zihan needed to learn to dance. Lan Zihan started to learn to dance while recording the album.

Dance Studio

From time to time, there were screams like slaughtering pigs, and it sounded like a woman giving birth. Yes, the source of the sound was Lan Zihan. The dance teacher was struggling to help her open her ligaments, and Xiao Keke was also helping.

Lan Zihan's legs were slowly being split into a split, and beads of sweat fell down, wetting the floor. She only felt that her legs were no longer her own. She had experienced that kind of heart-wrenching pain when she was very young.

"Okay, take a break!" The dance teacher patted Lan Zihan's thigh and breathed a sigh of relief.

Lan Zihan was lying on the ground exhausted, and Xiao Keke hurriedly brought her a bottle of mineral water.

"Teacher, Xiaohan is already a good dancer, why does it hurt so much when she pulled the ligament this time?" Xiao Keke asked.

"This is the consequence of being lazy. If you don't stretch your ligaments for a long time, they will shrink. For example, you can stretch one meter at the beginning, and after training you can stretch to 1.5 meters, but if you don't practice for a while, you may regress to 80 centimeters. Zihan, you haven't practiced for two years."

"This is called asking for trouble." Lan Zihan said weakly, "I deserve it. My brother forced me to practice before, but later, I was lazy."

"However, after the ligaments are completely stretched, it should be easier for you to learn to dance than others. After all, your foundation is there. Come on!" The dance teacher gave Lan Zihan a smile and went to drink water.

Hu Zhengping required everything to be learned quickly, so Lan Zihan's ligaments were almost ready in just two days. Next, they started learning dance moves.

At the end of the practice in the evening, Lan Zihan sat on the floor without moving. Xiao Keke patted her several times, but she didn't stand up. Xiao Keke felt something was wrong and looked at Lan Zihan. Her feet had not moved. Xiao Keke was about to reach out her hand when Lan Zihan stopped her.

"Don't move, Keke, my feet can't move." Lan Zihan panted.

Xiao Keke was so scared that she didn't dare to move.

After a long time, Lan Zihan took off her shoes despite the pain. There were bright red bloodstains on her white socks, which was shocking.

"Wait a minute!" Xiao Keke was about to move, but Lan Zihan stopped her again, "Take your phone and take a picture. This is a good opportunity to gain fans."

Later, Lan Zihan posted a Weibo, "After practicing dancing for a whole day, my feet really smell great. Call me Miss Stinky Feet." Lan Zihan also posted a picture of her feet and a photo of her afternoon training.

"Xiao Han, you can still smile even in this state!" Xiao Keke was so distressed that tears were about to fall.

Lan Zihan has been wearing brand-name shoes worth tens of thousands since she was born. When she was eight years old, because her feet were not well developed, she specially found a brand-name manufacturer to make custom shoes for her, and a pair of shoes cost hundreds of thousands. Her feet have been worn out by these brand-name shoes. How could she be used to wearing these cheap street stall shoes? It is normal for them to be worn out after dancing all day.
