Chapter 94

While Chen Lin was whimpering and looking at the music score, on the internet, everyone was summarizing the live stream between Jin Li and Three Months, and both sides ended up on the trending searches.

#Three Months dances to please the elderly#

#Jin Li helps the elderly with makeup#

#Chen Lin recognizes a grandfather in public! #

#Yan Xingdong says he can be a son#

#Gu Cheng says he can help the grandfather's grandson with tutoring#

#Jin Li listens to stories#

Although these keywords didn't make the top ten trending searches, they could be found between 20 and 50.

Clicking into any one of them, you could see netizens' fun replies.

The Three Months boy band's charity live stream this time, although not a variety show, maximized the variety show effect.

The netizens' comments were also full of banter and laughter.

And Jin Li's charity live stream this time was more serious; anyone with a discerning eye could see that she truly wanted to contribute to the cause of charity.

【Watched Jin Li's live stream for the whole afternoon. Her attitude was so good; she wasn't impatient with the elderly at all. When an elderly person felt foot pain, she even squatted down to help take off their shoes and check their feet, not finding it dirty at all!】

【Same. Watching Jin Li's live stream, I always feel it's very warm. I can feel that she really cares for these elderly people~】

【There's one thing I don't know if I should say. I always feel like Jin Li will leave the entertainment industry at any time... Especially since I see her running to Daoist temples every other day. Compared to the entertainment industry, she seems to like Daoist temples more.

Watching the live stream this time made some of my feelings clearer. Have you noticed that when Jin Li faces the elderly, she always has a kind of compassion for all living things?

It's like she's looking at all living beings very calmly, listening to them tell their stories, and then treating them all equally, wishing they can all pass through the calamity of death peacefully?】

【Ah! The person above voiced my inner thoughts!! I had this feeling when watching the live stream too, but I couldn't put it into words. It's exactly what you summarized!】

【It's over, I worry about my idol becoming a monk every day...】

【Chenxi Entertainment, can you be more effective and pull this cold Daoist girl back into the bustling mortal world!】

Sui Lingfang had already arrived at Jin Li's apartment.

She had been coming over to mooch meals whenever she had time these days. Having done it so much, she felt a bit embarrassed and planned to cook herself to return the favor.

When she came, she had already sent a message to Jin Li, and Jin Li readily agreed.

At this time, the rice was already cooked.

The ingredients for the dishes were also fully prepared, just waiting for Jin Li to return to start stir-frying.

During this rare break, Sui Lingfang took out her phone, planning to browse entertainment news.

However, before she could see the news, her private messages were filled by fans again.

Sui Lingfang:...

You have to know, she had just cleared them out at noon!

【Manager sister, let Chenxi Entertainment get more gigs for Jin Li so she can earn more money!】

【Carefully choose the male celebrities who collaborate with Li Bao. Don't collaborate with those with bad character, lest Li Bao loses hope in this world!】

【Money offensive, gig offensive, rainbow-fart offensive... hurry and give me a set of all of them!】

Sui Lingfang:???

When did this world become something she couldn't understand at all?

It wasn't until she clicked into Jin Li's trending search and saw the popular comments from netizens that she finally understood what was going on.

Sui Lingfang sighed and wrung her hands: "I discovered this problem earlier than you guys and am even more worried about it, but what can I do?"

She was also on pins and needles every day, okay?

Suddenly, her phone vibrated; Jin Li had sent a message.

Sui Lingfang thought for a moment and replied: 【I'll book a table for you guys, let's just have a meal together, call Zhenzhu and Meng Meng too】

Jin Li: 【OK】

What Jin Li sent to Sui Lingfang wasn't anything else, but asking if there were any restaurants with good security near the apartment; she wanted to treat the Three Months boy band to a meal.

Sui Lingfang knew Jin Li had come back with Three Months, so she wasn't surprised and quickly thought of a suitable place to book a table for her.

As for her cooking, it could be left for another time.

Anyway, the ingredients hadn't been touched and were stored well in the fridge; it would be the same to cook them tomorrow.

When they arrived at the restaurant, the discussion between Jin Li and Gu Cheng about photography finally ended.

Chen Lin let out a long sigh of relief and put down the music score in his hand.

After studying seriously in the van for a while, he could already memorize most of this score.

It wasn't easy!

Arriving in the private room, Chen Lin couldn't wait to liven up the atmosphere and brought up the group variety show.

Originally, this matter was supposed to be discussed in the van.

But because the content discussed by Gu Cheng and Jin Li was too professional, the others felt it was impressive but didn't understand it, so they didn't dare to interrupt.

Now, this was returning to the right track.

Chen Lin said: "We discussed it with the company. For the first season, to make a name for ourselves, we have to release interesting content to attract the audience to follow up."

The company's original words were: With their popularity, they could guarantee great heat when it first aired, but if there wasn't good content to support it, then they could only keep the fans, not a large number of netizens.

If the group variety show wanted to grow big and strong, high-quality content and gimmicks were indispensable, so for the first season, they had to show their real skills!

Jin Li nodded.

She also agreed with this point of view; either don't do it, or do it to the best.

If it just became a fan carnival, then there was no need to do the content like this; wouldn't it be better to arrange everything according to the fans' preferences?

Yan Xingdong said: "So we discussed it and decided to place the first season in a tourist attraction."

Jin Li asked curiously: "Which place?"

Gu Cheng: "National 5A-level tourist attraction—Qingfeng Daoist Temple."

Jin Li's eyes lit up: "Daoist temple?"

Gu Cheng saw her suddenly bright eyes and couldn't help but ask with a smile: "Are you that happy?"

Jin Li nodded: "Very happy, I haven't been to a Daoist temple for a long time."

Chen Lin complained: "I remember you just went to a Daoist temple on your last vacation, and it hasn't even been a month since your last vacation."

Jin Li shook her head and said seriously: "This is different. My longing for the Daoist temple is like 'one day apart feels like three autumns'."

Luo Yi said at this time: "We decided to place the first season in the Daoist temple, also considering Sister Jin Li's koi luck, which brings its own explosive topic heat.

Besides, that Daoist temple is very famous, but very few variety shows go there to film, so it's still quite fresh to the public.

But there's a problem here, and that is it's hard to experience professions in the Daoist temple. Are we really going to play it by ear and pick randomly when the time comes?"

"Hello!"

The door of the private room was opened, and Sister Meng Ze and Qiguan Mingzhu walked in and greeted everyone.

Gu Cheng stood up, intending to vacate the seat next to Jin Li.

Qiguan Mingzhu said: "No need, you just sit there."

She turned to look at Chen Lin: "Lin Bao, give us a seat."

Chen Lin stood up immediately and gave them his seat.

Sister Meng Ze looked at Qiguan Mingzhu suspiciously, as if asking: When did you guys get so close?

Qiguan Mingzhu caught Sister Meng Ze's signal wave and explained: "Last time when I visited Tianding Entertainment, I experienced their VR game room and felt there were many shortcomings.

Lin Bao communicated with me, and he agreed with my opinions. Later, we chatted a few more times and planned to collaborate on writing an experience report to submit to Tianding Entertainment, striving to let Tianding make improvements."

Jin Li asked the question everyone wanted to ask.

"So, why is Chen Lin 'Lin Bao'?"

Qiguan Mingzhu smiled slightly: "In my eyes, he is just a baby, as childish as a kindergarten student."

Eh? Eh! Eh?!

Jin Li turned to look at Chen Lin, her eyes widening slightly.

What did she see?

Heavens, Chen Lin is blushing!!!

Everyone else couldn't help but laugh, only Chen Lin, like a mouse seeing a cat, said in a low voice:

"Mingzhu sister, I'm only 7 years younger than you, don't treat me like a kindergarten student!"

Qiguan Mingzhu blinked her eyes: "Physical age doesn't represent psychological age. Baby Lin, isn't it good that I treat you like a baby?"

Chen Lin's mouth opened and closed, closed and opened, not knowing what to say.

He was clearly a normal, adult male!!

Jin Li was amused by his appearance.

"Hahaha, Chen Lin, Zhenzhu thinks highly of you. She especially likes some cute little animals and calls them 'baby'. Zhenzhu is also treating you..."

By the time she finished, Jin Li couldn't go on, laughing until she couldn't close her mouth.

Qiguan Mingzhu also laughed: "Alright, alright, if you don't like this title, I'll just change it. Brother Lin? Little Lin? Little Chen?"

Chen Lin took a long while before squeezing out: "Call me whatever you like, 'Lin Bao' isn't impossible."

Tsk.

Dead tsundere!

Everyone ate while discussing the previous topic again.

Xi Sister Meng Ze heard Luo Yi say he didn't know what profession to experience in the Daoist temple and immediately came up with an idea.

"Why don't you just experience being a Daoist child or a Daoist priest for a day?"

She turned to look at Jin Li, "Jin Li has a lot of experience in this regard."

Everyone couldn't help but look over.

Jin Li slowly drank some tea and said calmly and steadily: "Hmm, I can teach you how to be a qualified little Daoist child."

Gu Cheng asked: "Why not be a Daoist priest?"

Jin Li shook her head, "I'd like to let you be, but do you know the recruitment standards for Daoist priests now?"

"What standards could there be for being a Daoist priest?" Chen Lin was curious.

Jin Li took out her phone, flipped out the Daoist priest recruitment image she saw last time, and said: "Take a look for yourselves and see if you meet the requirements."

【Daoist Priest Recruitment Requirements:

Age: 20-50 years old

Education: Undergraduate degree minimum, Master's and PhD degrees welcome

Requirements: Have a certain foundation in computers, be proficient in using office software, have a certain understanding of operating official accounts, and be able to solve various circuit problems in emergencies.

Mandarin proficiency test must be Grade 1 Level A, have a certain level of research on Chinese language and literature and the origin of gods, and be able to read various Daoist scriptures in detail.

Personality requirements: Peaceful mindset, kind to others, governing by non-interference, not competing or fighting.

Job application adopts a written test + interview method. The written test location is tested on the spot in the Daoist temple. After the written test, the interview is conducted immediately, and the shortlist will be announced the next day】

After Chen Lin finished reading, there was silence.

He silently handed the phone to Yan Xingdong.

After Yan Xingdong finished reading, he was also silent and silently handed it to Luo Yi.

After Luo Yi finished reading, he was silent again and then handed it to Gu Cheng.

Silence, silence.

Silence is the Cambridge of tonight~

Fortunately, when it was Gu Cheng's turn, he broke the silence and smiled slightly: "Calculating carefully, I seem to meet all the requirements."

Qiguan Mingzhu and Sister Meng Ze also saw the recruitment conditions and couldn't help but be amused.

"Daoist temples have such high requirements for recruiting Daoist priests now?"

Yan Xingdong: "My education meets the requirements, but my professional skills don't, and I have no understanding of Daoist scriptures."

Luo Yi added: "Me too, I've never understood knowledge in this area."

Chen Lin said tangledly: "I do know some classics. My grandparents are religious, and my enlightenment scriptures when I was little were Daoist classics. I'm also familiar with things like 'Investiture of the Gods'."

As soon as these words came out, the way everyone looked at Chen Lin was different.

My son has grown up. jpg

Chen Lin coughed a few times and said quite uncomfortably: "But my personality doesn't work. My personality is irritable, and the Daoist temple can't suppress my temper."

He didn't talk about these childhood experiences outside, and he felt there was nothing worth talking about.

Qiguan Mingzhu thought for a while and suddenly said: "You don't necessarily have to meet the requirements to participate in the recruitment. Anyway, it's just an experience for a day or two. If you communicate with the Daoist temple, maybe the Daoist priest will agree?"

Jin Li agreed: "Right, for non-professionals, the requirements can be lowered. We aren't really going to be Daoist priests."

Yan Xingdong: "Okay, I'll have the company discuss it with Qingfeng Daoist Temple when the time comes."

He paused and said jokingly: "I think being a Daoist priest is quite interesting; it might be very different from a celebrity's work."

While they were gathered together chatting and eating.

At the same time, in a large gossip forum, they were also silently opening a thread to discuss.

【Digging into the top-tier female star who successfully revived this year, can she soar to the sky in the year-end selection?】

【Decoded in seconds~】

【Revived? Top-tier? Female star? I've decoded it too!】

【She will definitely soar to the sky, look at how she's already hugging the thigh of a top-tier boy band】

【Don't speak so harshly, why couldn't it be the top-tier boy band hugging her thigh?】

【Laugh to death, hugging her thigh? For what? For her koi luck, or for her weak-as-a-willow-in-the-wind posture that makes her pant after walking a few steps?】

【To be fair, I also want her koi luck】

【Me too...】

【Me too...】

【Forget it, she doesn't admit it】

【Her luck is too heaven-defying, she's also scared and doesn't dare to hype her persona anymore】

【This is the first time I've seen a celebrity so avoidant of a persona】

【I'll bet on this thread, this top-tier star won't last long. I calculated it, she'll definitely become a monk within five years!】

Before long, this gossip thread was pushed to tens of thousands of floors, and many netizens bet that Jin Li would become a monk.

There was no way around it; the direction was too obvious. Everyone decoded it as Jin Li and then ran to other places to post.

I don't know how it spread, but after this matter spread, everyone was already discussing the matter of #Jin Li becoming a monk#.

Nine o'clock in the evening.

Sui Lingfang received a message from Jin Li and planned to pick her up.

Just halfway there, Zou Da called and asked straight to the point: "Is Jin Li going to become a monk? This news about her is already number one on the trending searches!"

Sui Lingfang only felt everything go black before her eyes.

She quickly steadied her mind and said sonorously: "She's not becoming a monk, she's not becoming a monk, she's not becoming a monk!

Although I don't know how this rumor spread, Jin Li won't become a monk. Tell the company to issue a clarification statement immediately."

Zou Da felt relieved.

"I said so, her career is at its peak, how could she possibly become a monk? It seems the netizens' self-speculation is too heavy. I'll control the account to issue a clarification now."

After hanging up the phone.

Sui Lingfang's heart was still thumping wildly, and her eyelids were twitching too.

She smiled bitterly.

There was one thing she didn't tell Zou Da.

That was that the career she was struggling for now didn't seem very important to Jin Li.

In her eyes, Jin Li was truly without desires or demands.

Suddenly, a piece of information jumped into her mind.

—Except for studying!

Sui Lingfang's eyes flickered constantly, and not knowing what she thought of, her mood settled.

Having an obsession is a good thing.

She used to think studying delayed Jin Li's development, but now she didn't think so. Studying is so good; she should study hard!

Let studying bind Jin Li; at least she won't become a monk!

Just as the news #Jin Li becoming a monk# dropped to the number one trending search, Duomi Cosmetics was also holding a major meeting here.

After a long period of discussion and analysis, they finally made up their minds to open 5 additional production lines and upgrade the old production lines!

For Duomi, increasing production lines and replacing old equipment with new ones was not a decision that could be made easily.

Whether it was the former or the latter, the investment had already reached tens of millions.

And to break even, the production lines had to be used for at least five years. Duomi Cosmetics is selling well now, but who knows what the situation will be in five years?

Now is a fast-paced era.

Many old brands have declined, and new kings have risen.

Even top luxury brands don't dare to guarantee that they can always catch the east wind of the era.

Inside the conference room.

The general manager of the Nancheng branch, which is Manager Nan, after the company made this decision, once again proposed the matter of deep binding with Jin Li.

Manager Nan said: "Duomi Cosmetics' online and offline sales exploded this year, mainly concentrated in the 【Koi Good Luck Makeup】 series. Among them, Jin Li's appeal cannot be underestimated.

Combining this artist's traffic heat, reputation on the internet, public favor, etc., I propose that Duomi do a deep binding with her."

The person in charge of the Dongcheng branch asked: "How else can we bind?

The company would like to extend the contract with her, but for a traffic star with such great popularity, it's impossible to easily sign a five-year endorsement contract.

We must come up with enough benefits, and the current Duomi is just one of the better-performing affordable cosmetics in the country. Compared to top luxury brands, Duomi can't take it out!"

"Yeah, if I were Jin Li, putting myself in her shoes, when I officially become a first-tier star, I would also seek top luxury endorsements."

"It's impossible to smash another tens of millions to win over Jin Li, then it's better to sell Duomi!"

Manager Nan waited for everyone to finish speaking before stating his proposal.

"How about giving a sales commission!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent, constantly thinking about the possibility of this matter.

Manager Nan said: "Let Jin Li personally participate in product design and enjoy internal company dividends. The more it sells, the more she earns; perhaps that can move her.

If that doesn't work, company shares aren't impossible to give. This kind of cooperation model is not a secret in the industry, but it's limited to top first-tier stars.

Those who achieve great things must be brave enough to invest. I want to bet on Jin Li. What do you think?"

Sui Lingfang successfully reunited with Jin Li.

The Three Months boy band didn't need Sui Lingfang to send them; they went back on their own after the meal.

She sent Sister Meng Ze and Qiguan Mingzhu back first, and finally sent Jin Li.

In the car.

Driven by assistant Xiao Chen, Sui Lingfang and Jin Li sat in the back.

She looked at Jin Li and found that this child had already been holding a "5-3" study guide and studying at some point.

Sui Lingfang asked seemingly casually: "Jin Li, when I came just now, I found that you were on another trending search. Netizens all said you were going to become a monk. I've already let the company clarify. You don't really want to become a monk, do you?"

Jin Li rubbed her eyebrows, her expression a bit tired.

She put down the "5-3" and shook her head: "I don't have any thoughts of becoming a monk for the time being."

Sui Lingfang smiled: "Hmm, I said how could that be possible? You still have to take the college entrance exam, how could you become a monk!"

Jin Li couldn't help but smile too, picked up the "5-3" to look at it, and said nonchalantly: "Becoming a monk doesn't affect taking the college entrance exam."

Sui Lingfang:...

"But Fang sister, don't worry, I won't become a monk."

If she really had the thought of hiding in a Daoist temple for a lifetime, she would probably encounter a life-threatening calamity tomorrow.

The next day.

Jin Li returned to Chenxi Entertainment for a meeting as usual.

But this time it was a bit special.

Early in the morning, she met Manager Nan of Duomi Cosmetics.

Manager Nan was dressed very formally. The last time Jin Li saw him dressed like this was when Duomi Cosmetics was negotiating cooperation with her again.

Jin Li saw him and asked jokingly: "Manager Nan, are you going to talk about cooperation with me again this time?"

Manager Nan nodded and admitted: "Yes, there is a big cooperation I want to talk to you about, but it has to pass your company's hurdle first."

Jin Li asked curiously: "Can't you tell me in advance?"

Manager Nan thought for a while and said with a serious expression: "I'll talk to your manager later, let your manager tell you, so as not to affect your judgment."

Originally, the morning was supposed to be a meeting between Jin Li and Sui Lingfang, but Manager Nan suddenly appeared, and it turned into Sui Lingfang and Manager Nan talking first.

This wait lasted the whole morning.

But Jin Li didn't wait in vain.

Feeling that there were too many celebrities in the public lounge and it was hard to enter a state of concentration, she casually entered a dance practice room and started a live stream to study in the room.

Manager Nan didn't stay for lunch; only Jin Li and Sui Lingfang ate together.

While eating, Fang sister finally said why Manager Nan came to the door.

"Duomi Cosmetics wants to have a deep binding cooperation with me, willing to give up a portion of product sales commissions, and even company shares?"

Jin Li asked with some surprise, "How could they have such a thought?"

Sui Lingfang thought for a while: "Although I was quite surprised when I heard it at first, I think this should be related to your endorsement.

They should have gained huge benefits from the 【Koi Good Luck Makeup】 series, which is why they raised this thought.

Without enough benefits, the brand couldn't make this decision. After all, you are just a celebrity and won't participate in the company's internal decision-making."

Jin Li heard another meaning.

"Looking at how you reacted so quickly, is this kind of signing model not an isolated case in the entertainment industry?" she asked.

Sui Lingfang nodded: "Yes, it's not an isolated case, so I don't think it's exaggerated. To tell you the truth, the Three Months boy band has several brands with deep binding cooperation, directly participating in product sales dividends."
