I really don’t know what kind of Variety Show this is, so leisurely letting the guests eat with random passersby by the roadside for over ten minutes without moving.
Anyway, after the two of them finished off all the delicacies Jiang Yin bought, the girl finally pulled out two wet wipes from her pocket, handed one to the big glutton, used the other to wipe her own hands and mouth, tossed the trash, and was about to slip away.
But she was stopped by the big glutton who grabbed her clothes.
“Sorry for eating so much of your food. Let me treat you to some snacks too, big sister?”
“Oh right, right, my name is Wen Ling. You can call me Wen Wen or Ling Ling.”
She was a little shy when saying the first sentence, but by the second, her big eyes were already full of anticipation, as if waiting for Jiang Yin to recognize her identity.
But unfortunately, Jiang Yin had never heard of her at all.
‘Is she a new rising star lately?’
She hadn’t followed the Entertainment Industry for a long time, and her daily playlists were all Classic Old Songs. The last Idol she recognized was Kun Ge.
So she really didn’t know this person.
But she didn’t want to dampen the kid’s enthusiasm or pretend to be familiar to give her any emotional value, so she just nodded normally, “You can call me Wei.”
She had thought this through quite well. From now on, this ‘codename’ she’d made up to brush off Qv Si Nan outside would be her name.
“Wei?”
“Mm, just call me Wei.”
The girl glanced at the hidden Microphone on her, nodded, and seeing there was still a bit of chili on her lips, pulled out another wet wipe to help clean it, then smiled and asked, “What kind of snacks do you usually like?”
“I like all of them!”
Wen Ling seemed like the pampered type, and didn’t mind a stranger wiping her mouth—she even looked used to it.
Well, such a cute child must have been spoiled since she was young.
It’s just, how could such a silly kid survive in the Entertainment Industry…
It felt like she didn’t fit in at all.
“So greedy?”
Jiang Yin teased with a smile, and Wen Ling scratched her head foolishly.
“Recently, the control’s been too strict. Every meal’s a diet meal…”
“That sounds tough.”
Jiang Yin didn’t have any weird thoughts about taking advantage of her transformed appearance, but since there was nothing to do today, watching a beautiful girl was pleasing enough.
Besides, with Cameras filming behind them, she didn’t want the Program Audience to think the locals were cold.
This wasn’t her hometown, but she had lived here for twelve years and felt attached.
“Actually, it’s not that bad… I just love food, so sometimes my weight goes over the limit, and then my Agent drags me by the ear onto the treadmill. By the way, Wei, with such a good figure, don’t you need to diet?”
“No.”
Jiang Yin’s body really didn’t gain weight.
Or rather, she’d never heard of a Magical Girl gaining weight.
But seeing Wen Ling’s envious little face, she smiled and made up a lie.
“Because I usually practice martial arts and play real-person CS and such.”
“So cool!?”
“Then, can I hire you as my bodyguard? Just for one day, just one day!”
“…?”
Jiang Yin glanced at the burly cameraman behind her, who looked like he could fit two of her inside, and asked, “Why do you need a bodyguard?”
Wen Ling, however, looked around, then leaned in close to Jiang Yin’s ear and whispered, “I’ll tell you secretly, but don’t tell anyone, Wei. I’m on a Variety Show!”
Jiang Yin: “….”
She looked at the big sister beside the cameraman, who was covering her face, looking utterly embarrassed.
Where did you scam this big goof from?
Has the Entertainment Industry dropped the intelligence requirements to zero these days!?
No wonder there aren’t any good productions!
“Mm, so?”
“Aren’t you even a little surprised?”
“Wow~ I’m so surprised. So? Isn’t it forbidden for random people to participate in your Variety Show?”
The white-haired girl feigned surprise with exaggerated indifference, then continued to question.
This time, Wen Ling was unhappy.
“Wei.”
She put her hands on her waist and stared seriously into Jiang Yin’s eyes.
“Mm?”
“Do you think I’m dumb?”
“Pfft.”
“Meanie!”
Jiang Yin couldn’t hold back her laughter, and the moment she laughed out loud, even Wen Ling could sense something was off, waving her little fists and chasing after the white-haired bad girl.
Wen Ling was a girl Idol who regularly exercised and danced, so her stamina wasn’t bad.
As for Jiang Yin’s physical strength, it was even more impressive, so there was no ‘out-of-breath’ ending; instead, Wen Ling’s big eyes suddenly sparkled mischievously.
“…Why are you smiling?”
Jiang Yin had a bad premonition.
Wen Ling pointed to the hidden Earpiece in her right ear.
“Just now, the Director told me through the Earpiece to make sure you join the program. The audience really loves our interaction, and the pay is negotiable!”
“Audience reaction?”
Jiang Yin immediately caught the key point, her voice rising, “Your show is a Live Broadcast!?”
“Mm!”
“….”
……
[Hahahahahaha! I knew it, Ling Ling is totally a white-cut-black!]
[This big sister’s disbelieving face is just too funny!]
[The way the white-haired girl wiped Ling Ling’s lips just now was overflowing with boyfriend energy! Who gets it!]
[Three minutes, I want all the information on this roadside big sister!]
Wen Ling was indeed a somewhat well-known young star in the Entertainment Industry, debuting from a talent show, entering the drama scene two years later, and having three notable costume dramas.
But this fame was mostly limited to the industry or the Idol drama circle, not enough to go mainstream, so it was normal for Jiang Yin not to recognize her.
At least, in this lukewarm Variety Show, she was relatively popular.
After all, she had eight million followers on Weibo!
Though a lot were probably inflated…
A small but well-known star like her, plus Jiang Yin’s top-tier looks even in the Human World, together created the biggest buzz of the entire program—the Director naturally wouldn’t let her slip away.
Raise the pay!
In fact, just by Jiang Yin’s looks, Wen Ling’s Agent was already contacting her company for background info and contact details as soon as she appeared on camera—a face like that would explode in popularity!
They just couldn’t find anything…
Nonsense!
With the Bureau involved, all of Jiang Yin’s accounts, including the pink Internal Software she secretly used, were officially protected.
Did an Entertainment Company really think they could open her box!?
If her box really was opened, there’d be real trouble.
The box opens in the morning, tea is drunk in the afternoon, the box dog enters in the evening, the boss’s meeting is held the next day, the reorganization notice is issued on the third day, and the tax bureau visits on the fourth day.
The entire process would be arranged for you step by step.
For Dragon Mom, the information security of a single Magical Girl was more important than the entire Entertainment Industry—maybe exaggerated, but the sector did offer many jobs.
But for a mere Entertainment Company…
Who cares who the boss is?
