Chapter 8

  According to Luo Fei, the next day the company arranged for two people to participate in the company's latest advertisement. Ke Yuan, no, now it is Li Jin, arrived at the advertising shooting location early with Luo Fei.

  Lí Jǐn is now signed to a company called Xīng Huà Chuán Méi, which was founded less than four years ago. The company has a group of unknown small-time artists under its wing, with the only notable one being an actor who plays supporting roles in TV dramas. This time, they have the opportunity to collaborate with the advertising giant Yìng Měi Company, and almost all of their artists are mobilized. When Lí Jǐn arrived, the first-floor hall of Yìng Měi Company was already packed with countless beautiful people striking poses.

  No wonder, Yingmei has been in the industry for 20 years, with a strong financial background and an overbearing attitude, it's already a favor to cooperate with such a small company, if Star Painting's boss doesn't seize the opportunity, he must be blind.

  He was tall and handsome, standing out in the crowd of beautiful men and women. He had a good relationship with others, as soon as he arrived, he smiled and greeted everyone, chatting about trivial matters. Lei Jin wasn't interested in joining their idle chatter, turned around to sit on the sofa for a while, but just as she was about to turn around, a chorus of flattering voices suddenly rose from the crowd.

  Li Jin raised his head and looked over.

  There is a woman standing in the crowd, with a professional smile and makeup, wearing a white Armani suit that accentuates her figure. She introduces herself as Melanie, a staff member of Yingmei Advertising. Recently, all the studios have been occupied, leaving only one small studio, which cannot accommodate so many people, so everyone can only go in batches to take pictures. However, there is no need to rush, she will arrange the list and lead everyone into the studio one by one according to the order on the list. Those who haven't been called can go to the rest room to wait, where there are sofas, drinks, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi, feel free to use them.

  Everyone waited for a long time, waiting for such a response, and it's hard not to feel angry. But facing such a woman, anger can't be expressed at all, especially when hearing that there are also compensation measures, which is very satisfying. Attention has shifted to the list of names, who cares about anything else.

  Li Jin was somewhat resistant to being a star and was thinking about finding an opportunity to discuss with his boss whether he could go back to his old job, so he wasn't very enthusiastic about this opportunity. Luo Fei was different, he jumped up and down in the crowd like a monkey, originally tall, and in order to get people's attention, he even stood on tiptoes, unintentionally meeting Melanie's eyes, flashing her a brilliant smile, making her blush half of her face.

  It turned out that even the handsome strategy was useless. The list had been read two or three times, and only the last four or five people were called up, but neither he nor Li Jin's name was on it. Luo Fei became anxious and chased after Meilani to ask: "Sister, sister, is there a mistake? Why aren't our names on it? We've been preparing for a long time, just waiting for this opportunity, please help us verify again."

  Career women, whose age is not a secret? Being chased and called "sister", usually Melanie would give a cold shoulder, but her face was so venomous that she couldn't help but stop in her tracks, and more than 20 people re-examined one by one.

  "I've checked twice, and I'm afraid your names aren't on the list."

  Lu Fei was stunned.

  "Excuse me, is this list sent by our side?" Li Jin saw that Luo Fei's expectation was disappointed and couldn't help but ask as he walked over.

  Melanie nodded: "I have checked the list with your company's artist and there is no error."

  The problem is on our side.

  "Sorry to interrupt your work." Li Jin bowed his head in thought for a moment, and smiled apologetically at Melanie, "You go ahead with your work first, I'll ask the coordinator."

  Luo Fei was at a loss, with his hands and feet tied up by Li Jin, who was in charge of the phone call. On the other end of the line came a cold, mechanical voice.

  "Sorry, the user you are calling is currently unavailable to answer your call."

  I dialed several numbers, and they were all like this.

  "What's going on?" Lu Fei was furious, "I've been dieting and exercising for this commercial for two weeks, I couldn't sleep at night just thinking about it, and now you're not even giving us a heads up before cutting us off?!"

  "Don't worry for now, maybe the company has other arrangements."

  Luo Fei plopped down on the sofa, frantically dialing numbers: "What other arrangements could there be? We're not some kind of heavily promoted artists, it's not like they'd suddenly ask us to play the lead roles!"

  Li Jin smiled wryly: "You're quite clear about the current situation."

  Indeed, if I had completed my bedside duty perfectly yesterday, I might still be flying high today, but unfortunately, I messed it up.

  It's all messed up...

  Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Li Jin's mind, and an absurd yet strangely reasonable possibility emerged.

  No way, is it because of this...

  He stared blankly at Luo Fei for a while, staring until Luo Fei's hair stood on end. He raised his head and glared: "What are you looking at me for! Hurry up and call Xin Jie to ask what's going on!"

  "Who is Xin Jie?" Li Jin asked subconsciously.

  "Our agent is an idiot!" Rong Fei was furious, "How come you've been asking this and that since you came back yesterday, did your brain get squeezed by the door?!"

  As soon as the words were spoken, both of them were stunned.

  Since meeting yesterday, Luo Fei had been smiling all along. Who would have thought that he would be so agitated and unable to calm down over such a small matter? Moreover, Li Jin was after all occupying someone else's body, and felt uneasy in his heart. When Luo Fei questioned him like this, Li Jin already had a great deal of suspicion in his ears.

  He slightly shifted his gaze, avoiding Luo Fei's eyes, and remained silent. Little did he know, this simple action had already made Luo Fei regret it endlessly.

  "Xiao Jin, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way, I was momentarily stunned..." He apologized repeatedly.

  Li Jin forced a faint smile and said, "It's okay." But he was actually feeling uneasy. He stood up and walked out the door, saying, "You wait here for me, I'll go ask what's going on."
