Chapter 2

~6 min read 1,200 words

Seeing Jin Li's mood was like riding a roller coaster, with great ups and downs.

She was good at math, and before scratching the last one, the 99 cards had lost a total of two thousand yuan.

After scratching the last one, she leaped into the middle class with 200,000 in savings.

She still remembered that a few days ago, someone from the Tax Bureau called to ask about her tax situation. It was March, and tax refunds and payments were in full swing.

When the person from the Tax Bureau asked if she had concealed any income, Seeing Jin Li said very firmly, "No."

One knows one's own affairs best.

She inherited the memories of this body. The original Seeing Jin Li was an honest person with social anxiety, not good at diplomacy, and all financial matters were handled by the company.

Since jumping to this small company three years ago, Seeing Jin Li's monthly income had been very stable, relying entirely on the company's basic salary, with only an occasional ten or twenty thousand coming in from participating in announcements.

How much was the basic salary?

Exactly five thousand yuan, not even reaching the starting point for taxation; it was just a plain, ordinary retirement-level salary.

The staff member couldn't help but blurt out, "No way, is your income that low? You're quite famous!"

Seeing Jin Li said without false modesty, "It's just living off past glory; I haven't participated in any announcements these past few years."

This body was too weak. When she first debuted, she spent a year in a girl group, running around day and night, which exhausted the original owner's already poor body even further.

All the money she earned before was spent on medical treatment.

The staff member asked about the situation several times, then finally sighed and hung up the phone.

Seeing Jin Li shook the scratch-offs in her hand, hummed a song happily, and walked down the mountain.

Seeing Jin Li, who left quickly after redeeming the prize, did not know that shortly after she left, this lottery station strangely ushered in a peak, and the scratch-offs were snapped up within just half an hour.

Those tourists even ran to buy them!

This posture made the shop owner think something big had happened and almost called the police.

Seeing Jin Li didn't know even more that a short video of her burning incense and scratching cards had been quietly uploaded to the internet by netizens.

Back at the rental apartment.

Seeing Jin Li paid the water, electricity, and rent for the month and felt a sense of relief in her body.

"The True Lord of Enlightened Great Dao is a good person; not only did he give me money, but he also made my body better," Seeing Jin Li thought.

The apartment she lived in was rented by the company, a luxury single apartment in the central district of South City, with a subway station just a few steps away and convenient transportation.

There were two households on the first floor, each with an area of 120 square meters. The company covered two-thirds of the rent, and the original owner only had to cover one-third.

Even the second-tier minor celebrity promoted by the company lived in a small single room in the prime commercial district; what else could Seeing Jin Li, who had transmigrated, say?

Just two words: Gratitude.

She changed her hoodie into a short-sleeved shirt, put on a sun-protective cardigan, and prepared to go out to buy some vegetables and cook.

Just as she was leaving, she ran into her manager, Sui Lingfang, who was wearing a ladies' suit in the hallway. Seeing Jin Li called out obediently, "Sister Fang."

Sui Lingfang had come here specifically to find Seeing Jin Li.

She was the ace manager in the company, and Seeing Jin Li was under her, but she didn't revolve solely around Seeing Jin Li.

Sui Lingfang looked her up and down carefully, "Is your body better? I feel like your complexion is much better."

That small face was rosy, as tender as a piece of tofu, with an oval face and almond eyes; she looked obedient and cute at first glance.

Her height of 1.7 meters was not short among female celebrities, and her figure was slender and well-proportioned. Through the long trousers, one could see the graceful curves of her figure.

Sui Lingfang glanced at Seeing Jin Li's cleavage and was satisfied in her heart; this was what they called looking thin in clothes and having substance when undressed.

Seeing Jin Li thought for a moment and said honestly, "I feel much better lately."

Sui Lingfang hesitated and asked, "Then can you livestream this afternoon? The fans really want to see you."

Seeing Jin Li blinked, understanding immediately.

Yesterday, she saw the news that her former teammate from the same girl group, Ji Qinglian, had officially announced that she would be a mentor for "PICK~ Next Station Diva," which triggered a wave of nostalgia among netizens.

Four years ago, the "Pink Girl" group appeared as brilliantly as a meteor. As soon as they debuted, they became popular all over the internet, with momentum as high as the sun. They were hailed as the new generation of girl groups. No one expected that they would encounter dissolution due to company problems.

All 5 members were still active in the entertainment industry, and no negative news had been exposed. They were seen by many group fans as the white moonlight in their hearts, the cinnabar mole that could never be obtained.

The members each had different popularity and had never met in public. Fans really wanted to see them reunite, and every anniversary of the group would be brushed onto the hot search.

Now, it wasn't far from the anniversary.

Seeing Jin Li's dark eyes looked at Sui Lingfang, her eyelashes drooping slightly, as if she were thinking about something.

The atmosphere was a bit subtle.

Sui Lingfang couldn't help but stare at Seeing Jin Li, discovering that Seeing Jin Li's eyelashes were very long, thick, and curled, just like a little eyelash spirit.

Seeing Jin Li suddenly tilted her head, and their eyes met: "Is there money to be made from livestreaming?"

Sui Lingfang was stunned, then nodded repeatedly: "Yes, the company has a specially partnered livestreaming website, and they have always wanted you to open an interview livestream to let the fans see you."

"Then let's open it," she said calmly.

Sui Lingfang paused and asked again, "Is your body really okay?"

It's no wonder she was so cautious. In the first month after Seeing Jin Li signed with the company, she was chatting with fans in the livestreaming room. She didn't know what the fans asked, but in her excitement, she actually coughed up blood in public!

This immediately scared Sui Lingfang, who had seen many big storms, into a state of panic.

This was the first time she realized that Seeing Jin Li's body was very weak.

No wonder those big companies didn't fight for Seeing Jin Li. The high commission ratio the company gave her was called out when competing with other small companies.
