A loud whistle woke Lin Dan up, and then her clothes were pulled back by someone. At the same time, a truck whizzed past her nose. When turning a corner, the driver stuck his head out, gave her a middle finger, and yelled in a hoarse voice: "Shit! Are you looking for death?"
Lin calmed himself down and turned back to look at his savior. She was almost hit and killed by a car, but she instinctively knew that she was not the owner of this body, but a wanderer who had just come into this world.
The man who helped her was a heavily made-up man with blond hair, white skin and a pure British accent. Don’t ask Lin Dan why she knew it was a British accent, because the original owner had six languages stored in her memory, and she seemed to be a language genius.
"Oh my God, you were almost hit by a car!" The man put his hands on his hips and cursed, "What have you been thinking about all day? Let me ask you, did you pass the previous interview? If this job is also cancelled, we will definitely be kicked out by the landlord! I am so unlucky to be your agent!"
Even though the man may curse, the concern in his eyes cannot be faked.
Through the original owner's memory, Lin Dan learned that the other party's name was Bolsa, and she was British. She came to the United States three years ago to start a business and opened a small modeling agency. He had a unique eye for the original owner and made her famous. The original owner was well developed. She was 175 cm tall at the age of fourteen. She had perfect body proportions and an oriental look. Her narrow and long phoenix eyes were bright and lively, with the tails of her eyes upturned and very long, like a charming fox. She had a high nose, plump lips, and a very three-dimensional contour. Her facial features combine the coolness of the East with the depth of the West, and her thick, curly black hair adds to her charm.
As we all know, there are huge differences in aesthetics between the East and the West, but the original owner's face broke this boundary. She was flawless and indisputably beautiful, so she stepped onto the catwalk of a high-end show and became an instant hit as soon as she debuted.
But the good times did not last long. Bolsa's company was acquired by a large brokerage firm. The original owner was no longer the only one favored by the company and had to compete with many old people for jobs. She was too popular, which naturally annoyed some people, so she was tripped up and soon disappeared like a shooting star in the forgetful fashion circle.
Bolsa was also squeezed out by the company's top management and her property was cheated away by her live-in boyfriend, so she had to end up on the streets. The original owner took him in, but he himself was not well off and still owed three months' rent. The landlord issued an ultimatum yesterday, requiring her to pay all the outstanding debts within seven days, otherwise she would be evicted.
The original owner's parents died of illness and did not leave much property. They had smuggled into the United States from China and had no relatives or friends to rely on, so the original owner could only work to earn money. She had only been to school for a few days and had no other survival skills except catwalk.
But the threshold for entering the fashion industry is much higher than that for entering the entertainment industry. It’s not enough to have a pretty face, you also have to have a devilish figure. The original owner was seventeen years old this year and had entered puberty. Her secondary sexual characteristics began to develop. Her breasts were like inflated balloons, jumping directly from cup A to cup C, and she also had the graceful and soft curves of a woman. According to the general aesthetic standards, this figure is undoubtedly perfect, but in the eyes of designers, it is a bit too plump, which makes their clothes look very low-class and even a bit pornographic.
The original owner's workload plummeted, and he was soon excluded from high-end shows, causing dissatisfaction from the agency. What's worse, she started to gain weight and no matter how hard she tried to lose weight, it was no use. After being silent for more than half a year, she was terminated by her management company and has not found a decent job so far.
In order to survive, she had to lower her sights and compete with those wild models for jobs. She would apply for jobs at auto shows, comic conventions, and promotional exhibitions in supermarkets and hypermarkets. Just a few days ago, she got a message from an amateur model that a variety show called "Tianqiao Battle" was recruiting models. The salary was good and the threshold was low, so she could give it a try.
The original owner immediately went to the program team to apply for the job. Just half an hour before Lin Dan arrived, she was successfully hired. She was so excited that she was almost hit by a car and died.
"I succeeded." Lin Dan quickly pulled himself out of the original owner's memory and handed a letter of acceptance to Bolsa.
Bolsa's expression eased slightly, and he repeatedly warned, "I heard that the producer of this show is supermodel Cindy, and the four judges are either editors-in-chief of top fashion magazines, top fashion designers, or founders of high-end clothing brands. Although the protagonists are those unknown designers, models can appear on TV, which will more or less help your career. If the designer who partners with you wins the championship, you can also get a reward of 10,000 US dollars. This opportunity is too rare, you must work hard. When you go back, you must lose weight for me, and I will keep an eye on you. Look at your big thick legs, look at your armpits, I can't bear to look at them!"
Bolsa's face changed and he asked nervously, "By the way, how did you pass the interview when you're so fat?"
"I'm not that fat." At 175 cm tall and 135 catties in weight, he was only slightly fat in Lin Dan's opinion.
"Oh my God, you're not fat? Look, your arms are thicker than my thighs." Bolsa lifted his sleeves to show his slender arms.
Lin looked at him calmly and reminded him seriously: "You are too light. I suspect you are a little malnourished."
"You're still overnourished! I really don't understand why you can't lose weight when you only eat a little vegetable salad every day? Your fat is too stubborn! Forget it, I don't care how you got the job, as long as I can get the salary." Bolsa walked into a supermarket and said gloatingly: "From today on, you can only eat green vegetable leaves, not even salad dressing!"
Lin Dan did not comment on this.
The two bought a few bags of bread and some vegetables and returned to the apartment stealthily, fearing that they would run into the landlord asking for money. Fortunately, the program will start recording in three days, and Lin Dan will be able to receive a remuneration then.
"Just eat this." Bolsa placed a few leaves on the table and opened a bag of buttered bread.
Lin Dan: “…”
Since being rejected by multiple shows, the original owner has been trying to lose weight, eating very little every day and completely eliminating sweets, but there has been no effect at all. Because of this, she developed stomach problems due to hunger and suffered almost every day.
Lin Dan touched his aching stomach and searched his memory to find out that the original owner was afraid of being eliminated from the program because of his overweight, so he hadn't eaten anything all day. This won't work. Even if you want to lose weight, you have to use scientific methods and not harm your health.
Lin Dan held his wrist to feel his pulse, and his eyebrows couldn't help but raise.
Seeing that her expression was not right, Bolsa quickly asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"No." Lin Dan snatched a piece of bread from him and ate it with vegetable leaves. The original owner gained weight not because of puberty, but because she was fed substances containing hormones, so no matter how she tried to lose weight, there was no effect. Now the hormones have completely destroyed her metabolism. Dieting alone is not enough, she has to combine exercise and medication. There is no way to verify who the culprit is, it could just be the models from the original company.
After finding out the cause of his obesity, Lin Dan naturally would not be hard on himself anymore. After finishing one piece of bread, he took another piece and spread a thick layer of peanut butter on it.
Bolsa was almost mad at her and kept calling her a loser. "You can't even control your own weight, and you still want to return to the top? I think you are dreaming!"
Back to the top? These four words attracted Lin Dan's attention. She pondered for a moment, then said word by word: "Borsa, I will control my weight and return to the peak, although in my opinion, my previous achievements are not at all my peak." As a newcomer, she was inevitably confused, and this feeling of confusion was exactly what she was eager to get rid of. She needs to set a goal for herself, define a direction, and then move forward unswervingly. She also learned from the original owner's memory that this was also the other party's wish.
Bolsa was fixed in place by her dark eyes. After a long while, he said reluctantly: "Okay, I'll let you eat a little more today to celebrate your new job."
"Is there any place selling Chinese medicine nearby?" Lin Dan asked.
"Chinese medicine? What is that?"
Lin Dan took out his cell phone to look up information about traditional Chinese medicine, then handed it to Bolsa to read.
Bolsa pondered and said, "There should be some in Chinatown. Why are you asking this?"
"Traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture can help you lose weight. Lend me your credit card and I promise to pay you back double in the future." Purchasing acupuncture equipment and Chinese medicine requires money, and Lin Dan is now a pauper. She had many ways of making money in mind, but she thought she might try modeling.
Bolsa talked for a long time before lending her the credit card. The two were just partners before and didn't know each other very well. They only became familiar with each other recently. Although his ex-boyfriend cheated him of all his property, he was still willing to believe Lin Dan because her eyes were so clear, black was black, white was white, and as bright as the stars in the sky. He never knew black eyes could be so beautiful.
The next day, Lin Dan ran to Chinatown to buy all the medicinal materials and acupuncture equipment. Bolsa was frightened to death when he saw her sticking silver needles into her body one by one. He cried and begged her not to think too much. However, after the silver needle was removed, she was completely fine. It was amazing.
After all, three days is too short to make much change in body shape. Lin Dan had to take medicine, get acupuncture, and do moderate aerobic exercise every day. On the day of recording the program, she stepped on the scale and found that she had lost a little over 10 pounds. She herself was a little disappointed, but Bolsa covered her mouth and screamed, "Oh my God! Lin, you haven't been dieting for three days, why have you lost so much weight? You used to lose weight but got fatter! The ancient oriental medicine is really amazing! Honey, at this rate, you can lose weight and return to your best condition in a month!"
One month? Lin Dan shook his head and prepared to shorten the time to half a month.
