Chapter 395

Jin Li's visit to the exhibition this time was a private trip. Because she wasn't sure if her consumption at Fang Fei reached the million-level, she specifically asked Sui Lingfang.

Sui Lingfang said without hesitation, "Of course you have, but it's not your consumption at Fang Fei, but rather Fang Fei investing tens of millions in resources into you."

"If you want to go, it's absolutely no problem. I'll help you get an invitation letter right now."

Before long, Jin Li received a call from Dai Xueling personally.

Seeing the caller ID, she was a bit stunned; she didn't expect to have blown the main person out.

After answering the phone, Dai Xueling asked concisely, "I heard from your manager that you want to attend the exhibition?"

Jin Li nodded, "Yes."

Dai Xueling, "I'll get you a 7-day invitation letter. You can enter at any time, even during non-business hours like in the middle of the night. You can just find the relevant person in charge and have them open the door for you."

Jin Li couldn't help but smile, "That's not necessary; it's too much trouble. I'll go during your normal business hours."

Dai Xueling, "If that's the case, are you interested in participating in an announcement?"

"What announcement?"

"A surprise appearance at the exhibition, holding a unique fan meet-and-greet."

Jin Li agreed.

But because this announcement wasn't a very formal one, Dai Xueling just wanted Jin Li to show her face while visiting the exhibition and interact with the fans on-site; it would probably only take 10 to 30 minutes.

And the exhibition side would fully cooperate with Jin Li's time; there was no need to specifically set an event time.

The photos at the exhibition were all very precious, and Fang Fei was very important; the security level every day was very strong.

No matter when Jin Li appeared, there was no need to worry about being surrounded by fans and unable to leave; safety was guaranteed.

Hearing her say this, Jin Li didn't make a big fuss and went there that same day.

But on the first day of opening, there were so many people that the situation made Jin Li afraid to show her face.

So she just took a hurried look and went back, and found time to come again on the second day.

This time it was much better. Yesterday, Fang Fei didn't limit the foot traffic at the exhibition, but today they limited it.

Because of this fan meet-and-greet, Fang Fei didn't have special requirements for Jin Li.

That is, Jin Li could hold it or not hold it; it was all up to her, so Jin Li had been hesitant about whether to hold it after arriving.

Her thought was that many people were immersed in viewing the photos, and her appearance would instead attract people's attention, somewhat ruining the beauty of carefully savoring the exhibition.

But when she was viewing the photos, the group of young girls not far away had been discussing her; they were clearly her fans.

Jin Li thought for a while. It wasn't easy for her fans to get into the exhibition, so she might as well meet them.

So Jin Li took the initiative to walk over to the security guard maintaining order and took off her mask.

The security guard had long been greeted by Fang Fei, immediately recognized her, hurriedly used the walkie-talkie to contact the person in charge on-site, and at the same time took a few steps forward, protecting Jin Li behind him.

Because of the security guard's reaction, some tourists kept glancing in their direction, but they didn't see anything.

Jin Li was covered too tightly.

In less than five minutes, the person in charge ran over hurriedly, leading Jin Li through a secret special passage to a corner of the exhibition.

Jin Li opened the door and found that she had already walked into the interior of the portrait, with a red ribbon blocking the outside.

It just so happened that those few girls were discussing this photo, and suddenly saw another "Jin Li portrait" walk in, and they were all a bit stunned.

"Lingling, pinch me! I think I saw my idol!"

"Xiao Yi, how about I slap you? I also feel like I saw my idol!"

Kimi:... Then does she have to hit herself?

The three of them hadn't reacted yet, but the audience in Kimi's live stream had already exploded.

【Holy crap, a living Jin Li!】

【What kind of god-like luck is this? A surprise appearance of an idol at the exhibition!】

【Why didn't Fang Fei tell me that Jin Li would also go to visit the exhibition, and there's a surprise interaction session with fans? If I had known about this session earlier, I would have flown over even if it meant taking a plane today!!】

【Jin Li is dressed very ordinarily, but she's really so good-looking. Why is her skin so shiny? I always felt that those portraits exaggerated Jin Li's beauty, but I don't feel that way now. Instead, I feel they complement each other!】

【Yes, yes, yes, Jin Li's skin is really visibly smooth and hydrated!】

"Ah ah ah—"

The three fans finally reacted, excitedly stomping their feet, holding each other's hands and shaking them frantically, making indescribable whimpering sounds in their mouths.

Jin Li's eyes curved slightly, she smiled at them, and took the initiative to walk in front of them, with only a ribbon separating them.

"Hello everyone, I was just viewing the photos and heard many of your compliments about me. Thank you for liking me!"

Lingling didn't even dare to look at Jin Li, because she found that the real person had a kind of beauty that made her whole body glow, making her afraid to stare, only daring to look at Jin Li's hands, saying incoherently:

"Can I shake your hand? I want to rub off some koi luck!"

Xiao Yi: "Can I, can I, can I take a photo with you?"

Kimi said with a blushing face, "Jin Li, can I give you a hug? I've always liked you, and I check in and make wishes on your blog every day."

Jin Li readily satisfied their requests and also thoughtfully asked, "Do you need an autograph? Do you want a 'to' autograph?"

The three people's eyes were bright, "Yes, yes, yes!"

The commotion of this group of people attracted other visiting audience members, and more and more people gathered here. Security immediately surrounded the outside to maintain order.

Jin Li glanced at them and found that these people were very easy to identify.

The ones who were particularly excited were her fans, who specifically came to the exhibition for her.

The ones who always raised their hands wanting to speak were generally middle-aged people, who paid more attention to her through their children.

And some who were very calm, and even had somewhat critical eyes toward her, were people specifically mixing in the fashion circle.

In their eyes, Jin Li was not only a star but also Fang Fei's brand ambassador and the brand's promoter.

They looked at her with strict eyes, as if they were judging whether her outfit today met the standard.

Jin Li picked one person from each group and answered their questions.

Everyone took out their mobile phones to take photos, and some even turned on live streaming.

This time, the speed of the media couldn't keep up with the speed of the audience on-site.

Because Fang Fei's invitation criteria were very strict, only some media got invitation letters on the first day of opening yesterday, specifically came to film this "feast," and then left.

Starting from the second day, the media didn't come.

This instead benefited Jin Li; even the most critical people in the fashion circle didn't ask too many difficult questions.

Fan: "Jin Li, can we see you wearing these cheongsams that appeared in the exhibition in reality? The cheongsams are all very beautiful, and I hope to see them on the red carpet."

Jin Li said playfully, "Okay, I'll try my best to communicate with Fang Fei and see if I can borrow them. Some cheongsam styles are very special and very difficult to borrow. I will try my best."

The bullet comments in Kimi's live stream flashed by line by line.

【Spoiling fans, truly spoiling fans】

【She actually didn't shirk, saying she would try her best, and didn't throw the problem to the team and Fang Fei. Many stars often answer this question like this: 'This depends on whether my team can negotiate it, and whether Fang Fei is willing'】

【Jin Li's expression toward fans is very gentle. Wuwuwu, she loves to smile! Why does she look so good when she smiles!!】

Parent: "Jin Li, I have been following your live stream. Your grades were very poor at first, but they improved step by step. Is there any secret to this?"

Jin Li first put up a layer of protection for herself: "This only represents personal experience, not necessarily applicable to everyone. Everyone's study method is different."

"Personally, I think self-discipline is very important. At first, I couldn't learn at all. I really wanted to learn and tried hard to make myself feel interested, but I found I couldn't do it."

"Since I couldn't use interest to mobilize my enthusiasm for learning, I used self-discipline to mobilize it. So every day, I would regulate how long I had to read."

"Later, I found that my free time was very unstable. Sometimes I was too busy with announcements to finish, so I turned it into studying anytime and anywhere whenever I had free time. Self-discipline is the most correct thing I've done."

The parent asked excitedly, "Is that all?"

In their minds, it was as if they imagined the scene of their own child being very self-disciplined in reading and studying every day, and then getting into a prestigious university.

Jin Li smiled lightly, "That's all. Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets their mind to it."

"Self-discipline might not count for much for adults, but it should be quite difficult for children. There are too many temptations from the outside world."

【That's all? It seems that those who ask questions are successful people, because what successful people lack the least is self-discipline. And the difference between ordinary people and successful people is very likely that they lack 'self-discipline'】

【Self-discipline is clearly the most difficult thing T^T】

【Not to mention anything else, just ask how many people can do 'going to bed early and getting up early'? Look at the phone in your hand; is a sense of guilt welling up in your heart?】

【Why can you install a camera in the phone...】

Fashion circle person: "Jin Li, Fang Fei held a special photography exhibition for you, and you made a surprise appearance. Don't you think you're dressed a bit plainly?"

Jin Li answered frankly and confidently, "I don't think so. Everyone's standards and definitions of beauty are different. I can go out wearing a dress, or I can choose to wear a shirt and jeans. I can wear makeup, or I can go bare-faced..."

"True beauty comes from within. Being the beauty that is not defined in everyone's eyes, I believe this is also the philosophy Fang Fei wants to convey."

【Be the beauty that is not defined!】

【Confidence and generosity are beauty!】

【Comfort and simplicity are beauty!】

【Staying at home is also beautiful!】

【Fang Fei should pay Jin Li for advertising!】

After answering three questions, Jin Li took photos with several other fans who were jumping up and down and particularly excited, and left the exhibition through a special passage.

Fang Fei was well-prepared and had already parked a car at the back door.

As soon as Jin Li appeared, bodyguards immediately protected her as she got into the car. The reporters who heard the news arrived late and didn't catch Jin Li, instead eating a car's worth of exhaust.

Inside the car, the person in charge of the exhibition happily mentioned her performance just now to Jin Li.

"You are so excellent, Jin Li. I am proud that Fang Fei can choose you as a brand ambassador!"

"When I received a call from President Dai yesterday, I was still worried about how to hold this surprise meet-and-greet, because I was afraid it would affect your studies, so I hadn't coordinated with you."

The person in charge first explained the reason for the slow reaction when first seeing Jin Li, and continued: "Your idea is very good. Everyone should be the beauty that is not defined."

"Your surprise appearance gave me a wonderful sense of beauty like opening an unknown gift box. I sincerely wish you more and more smooth development in the entertainment industry and your career rising step by step."

Facing the person in charge's flattery, Jin Li was very calm.

When you become more and more outstanding and excellent, everyone around you is a good person.

In a place like the entertainment industry where people step on the high and lift the low, this is done to the extreme.

If you really believe these words, then you are instead naive.

Some words are just for listening; don't take them seriously, otherwise, you will be too inflated.

After the person in charge finished flattering her, she also implicitly put forward her own idea, hoping that next time Jin Li wants to come over, she will coordinate with her in advance.

Jin Li thought to herself, if it weren't for Dai Xueling telling the person in charge in advance not to affect her studies, I'm afraid the person in charge wouldn't have spoken so tactfully.

When expressing this meaning, the tone was particularly gentle.

She smiled lightly, "I just came over to take a look today, and I won't be coming over anymore."

The person in charge was about to open her mouth, but Jin Li added, "I want to focus on my studies, and I'll be joining a crew again soon."

The person in charge closed her mouth again.

Fang Fei's car personally sent Jin Li back to Chenxi Entertainment.

The reporters following behind followed all the way to the end. Some reporters didn't drive, so they watched the videos and live streams uploaded by netizens along the way.

A reporter said, "I've followed so many artists, and this is the first time I've seen a luxury brand be so friendly to an artist. The relationship between Fang Fei and Jin Li is just too good."

"There's no need for advance planning. Jin Li says she'll appear and she appears. The cooperation with the brand is very free and casual. Generally, first-tier stars are strictly required by brands to do some things."

Another reporter asked, "How can you tell it's free and casual?"

"Ha, look at the person in charge in the video. When she ran to pick up Jin Li, sweat was already coming out of her forehead. You can tell how sudden it was."

"And the setting where Jin Li appeared in the video is very rough, just moving a chair for her, and nothing else. The key is that one dared to appear, and one dared to let her appear. Fang Fei's reaction at a glance shows there was no advance coordination."

From this point, one can see that Fang Fei is very satisfied with Jin Li.

Precisely because they are satisfied, no matter what Jin Li does, the brand gives her particularly great support.

"And Jin Li's special photography exhibition, which star can get such treatment? Anyway, I haven't seen it before."

The paparazzi made a prediction, "Wait, within two years, Jin Li's status will have to rise again."

Fang Fei's people personally sending Jin Li back also caused a stir at Chenxi Entertainment.

The staff in the lobby looked enviously at Jin Li saying goodbye to Fang Fei's people with ease, and then taking the elevator upstairs.

This scene of them in the lobby had already been quickly uploaded to the work group by the employees on the first floor.
