I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 579 Scores Are Being Paid

Sui Lingfang thought for a moment, then went downstairs and told the team members about Jinli's extra bonus, which immediately caused a cheer from everyone.

"Sister Fang, Sister Jinli is so kind. Can I stay with her for the rest of my life?"

One member said with tears in his eyes.

Sui Lingfang smiled and said, "If you resign and then apply to join Jinli's private team, you might be able to stay with her for life."

The member immediately said, "Then I'll think about it some more."

Working alongside celebrities to handle their private affairs can be very lucrative, but it's not guaranteed to be profitable.

In the entertainment industry, who can guarantee that they will remain popular forever?

Those celebrities who thought they could stay popular for a long time have all been brought down by their outrageous actions.

For example, have you heard of tax evasion?
Of course, this doesn't mean Jinli also evades taxes; it's just that people in the industry know that celebrities make money quickly, but they also lose it quickly.

Compared to artists, companies are more likely to survive for a longer period of time.

Sui Lingfang emphasized, "Everyone, stay alert! We need to safeguard Jinli's reputation for the next two weeks. The president has specifically instructed that all of the company's resources are at our disposal for the next two weeks, with priority given to protecting Jinli's image!"

Not only is Morning Light Entertainment on high alert, but March Sky Entertainment is also on high alert.

Zhang Guang was very experienced in handling these big events, and he moved March Sky from the villa to another location a week in advance.

The paparazzi searched the streets, unaware that March Sky wasn't even in that city; she had gone somewhere else.

The day before the college entrance examination results were released, Guang Ge also put aside his work and did not go out. Instead, he came to the place where San Yue Tian lived and worked from home.

Judging from the looks of it, he'll stay until Gu Cheng releases the results tomorrow.

Also in the villa, Gu Cheng was watching the live stream with his head down, feeling nothing, but Chen Lin, who kept watching Guang Ge walk around, couldn't stand it anymore.

"Brother, can you please not leave? You're making me nervous!"

Guang glanced at him and said speechlessly, "It's not like it's your exam, what are you nervous about?"

Chen Lin: "The atmosphere, the atmosphere of participation was very tense."

Guang ignored him and continued walking around.

Yan Xingdong and Luo Yi went to make coconut lattes for everyone and didn't return for a while, giving each person a cup of coffee.

"It's still broad daylight, how about we play a game, Contra?"

Gu Cheng was the first to speak: "I'm not interested, you guys play."

Zhang Guang glanced at him and couldn't help but ask, "Chengzi, if you're nervous, just say so. You don't have to pretend to be calm."

Gu Cheng: "I'm not nervous."

Zhang Guang: "You've been sitting there looking at your phone since this morning, scrolling through it for hours, and you still say you're not nervous?"

Gu Cheng: "...I'm not nervous at all."

There's a kind of tension called being perceived as nervous by others.

Zhang Guang didn't believe him: "Let's play a game instead, let's relax. I'm telling you, as long as you take the exam, you've already won. The score doesn't matter, the result doesn't matter."

If you get good scores, we'll send you to school so you can develop other skills. If you don't do well, you can try again next year, or we can hire a professional tutor to come to your home; you don't necessarily have to go to school.

Don't worry, as long as you trust me, I'll create the conditions for you even if there are none..."

As Zhang Guang spoke, he got carried away and launched into a long, rambling speech.

He has this problem when he's nervous: he first paces back and forth frequently, then talks incessantly to relieve the stress.

Other members of March Day: ...

It's impossible to tell whether Gu Cheng is nervous or not, but Guang Ge is definitely nervous.

Before long, Gu Cheng was forced to get to work and join the game battle.

During a break from playing the game, Yan Xingdong had a special chat with Gu Cheng.

Are you really not nervous?

Gu Cheng looked at him speechlessly and rolled her eyes.

I don't want to talk to anyone.jpg
Yan Xingdong chuckled awkwardly, "Brother Guang kept saying you were nervous, so I took it seriously."

Suddenly, Gu Cheng's phone vibrated. He took it out and quickly said, "I'm going to make a video call. Can you deal with Brother Guang for me?"

After saying that, he immediately ran to his room, leaving Yan Xingdong speechless.

The captain returned to the battle, and Guang Ge, not seeing Gu Cheng, asked, "Where did he go?"

Yan Xingdong: "Study hard and make progress every day."

Zhang Guang: ?
Are you okay?

On Gu Cheng's side.

After he went into his room, he made a video call to Jinli. Jinli had just asked him for his exam admission ticket number, and they would check their scores together tomorrow.

After the video call connected, Gu Cheng gave out her exam admission ticket number and also asked for Jin Li's exam admission ticket number, saying she would help her check it tomorrow as well.

He noticed that Jinli wasn't in a large apartment building where she was making the video call, so he asked, "Are you staying in a hotel?"

Jinli shook her head: "I'm staying at the company. Sister Fang said I'll probably be here for half a month, and the company is safer. If I'm outside, I'll probably be mobbed by paparazzi."

Gu Cheng nodded: "Brother Guang also moved us to another place in advance. It is said that the paparazzi outside are also looking for us frantically, but they can't find us."

Jinli glanced at his expression, which seemed perfectly normal, and then chuckled and teased:
"I was going to ask you if you were nervous today since the results are coming out tomorrow, but judging from your expression, you seem confident and certain of victory."

Gu Cheng smiled wryly, "I actually wish I could be a little nervous, that would fit the atmosphere better. You don't know, Brother Guang is even more nervous than me. He's nervous himself, and he keeps asking me if I'm nervous, and he keeps pacing around in front of me."

The emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is; there's no better example.

Jinli laughed and then suddenly remembered something, saying, "I was wondering why Sister Fang kept hanging around me today, asking me what I wanted to eat and drink, and if there was anything I wasn't used to about staying at the company."

Now that you mention it, it turns out she was also nervous, but she managed to control herself and didn't ask me if I was nervous.

Gu Cheng thought of something funny and said, "You know what? A few days ago, Brother Guang and Sister Fang went out to pray together."

Jinli opened her eyes slightly and shook her head: "I don't know, why did they go out to pray?"

Gu Chengle said, "They must be worried about our grades, so the two agents went on a trip together to pray to the gods that our grades would go smoothly and that we would pass with flying colors."

He added, "The team leader specifically told me that, according to his observation, he prayed more than once, and went out to pray every day for several days, and then rushed back to the company to handle work after praying."

Jinli felt a warmth in her heart; it always made her happy that someone was making sacrifices behind her back.

She said, "I suddenly feel like giving Fang Jie a bonus again, what should I do?" Gu Cheng said with interest, "Give her a bigger red envelope for the New Year, just slip her a check."

Jinli raised an eyebrow: "How did you come up with a solution so quickly? Have you done this before?"

Gu Cheng smiled and said, "When we were young and naive, we all thought that Guang Ma was very kind to us, so we gave her a bank card for the New Year. As a result, Guang Ma scolded us and said that giving her a check would be better than giving her a bank card, so we changed to a check, but Guang Ma scolded us again."

Before Jinli could ask, Gu Cheng said, "He said that the process of cashing checks at the bank is complicated, and the bank staff ask all sorts of questions, so it's better to just give cash."

Jinli pressed further, "Did you give them cash later?"

Gu Cheng said regretfully, "We did want to give cash, but tens of thousands of yuan was too thick in the red envelope. Guang's mother immediately felt something was wrong and returned the red envelope to us."

So, we wanted to give Guang's mom a bonus, but we haven't been able to do so yet. In the end, the team leader had the guts to just take Guang's mom's bank card and transfer the money to her.

Jinli glared at him: "You know it's inconvenient to give me a check, yet you still asked me to give you a check. You have ulterior motives!"

Gu Cheng glanced at her sideways, his eyes looking like those of a mischievous boy, but his words were poignant and moving.

"What should I do? I just want to do something bad to you."
-
Early the next morning.

Before Jinli had even woken up, her fan club had already started its operations.

QQ groups, iFlytek meeting groups, WeChat groups... the group owners of each group took action, popping up announcements, making videos, and guiding their fans step by step to do their work.

Not only Jinli, but Gu Cheng's fan club is the same. Moreover, Gu Cheng's fan club is more experienced in fighting back against online attacks and prepares a week in advance.

This time, Jinli's fan club even sought help from Gu Cheng's fan club, asking them for guidance on what to do.

In the past, the fans of the two always argued, either dissing each other for "riding on the coattails of my sister" or "accusing her of riding on the coattails of my brother." But this time, the fans of the two put aside their prejudices and united to organize an anti-black propaganda campaign.

Why is it that all the celebrities in her family are taking the college entrance exam this year? (Smoking a cigarette with a weary expression)
For the sake of common interests, they can also unite with former enemies who used to hurl insults at each other.

Orange Heart & Orange Intent: [Have you prepared the promotional posters? Make three copies of each poster showing Jinli exceeding the junior college, undergraduate, first-tier university, and key university admission lines.]
Fisherman: [Nodding vigorously.jpg, all done!]
Orange Heart & Orange Intent: [Prepare ten long drafts and fifty short drafts. All done?]
Fisherman: [OK, all done!]
Orange Heart: [How many people were organized to control the comments?]
Fisherman: [This...it depends on whether the ladies are online. There should be tens of thousands of people online at noon, but only about a thousand have explicitly joined the comment control effort.]
Orange Heart: [A thousand people? ??? What are you guys doing? A thousand people trying to control the comments? Are you kidding me? An ordinary person could easily get a thousand people to check in by simply sending out a red envelope.]
Fisherman: [This, this, this...]
Orange Heart: [Alright, we have over 50,000 people here fighting the smear campaign, and many fans who only support March Sky have expressed their willingness to help. If the public opinion on Jinli's side doesn't go well, I'll put in a word for you and help control things for you too.]
Fisherman: [Prostrating himself in gratitude.jpg]
Fisherman: [Thank you so much.jpg]
Fisherman: [May good fortune be with you always.jpg]
Seeing the last picture, I can only say it's an eyesore. Jinli's fans are using emojis that only parents would use.

I almost thought her mother had arrived!!
With the external communication department's communication completed, the two artists' fan clubs began internal communication.

What they said was all the same old stuff.

When grades are good—

My idol is the best! She excels in her career and studies, all thanks to hard work. Countless days and nights of studying have nurtured her brilliant achievements – she (or he) deserves it all!

When grades are bad—

The result is not important; the process is! The meaning of life lies in striving and fighting, in enjoying the challenges of each day. As long as you walk this path, it will become your most valuable experience and wealth!

Being able to participate in the college entrance examination and stand on its stage makes her (him) the best!!
Fans must first have unwavering faith in order to charge forward against all odds.

If someone is easily persuaded, they are just a fence-sitter, not a true fan.

Jinli and Gu Cheng were unaware of everything the fan club had done, because after they woke up, they were both busy answering phone calls.

Gu Cheng and Jin Li received numerous calls from various brands.

The two of them took a break from their busy schedules to chat and discovered that the brand messages they received were exactly the same.

"No matter what score you get, the brand trusts you. Put down your burdens and travel light."

Jinli said, half-laughing and half-crying, "If the brand isn't really worried, they don't need to call me."

Gu Cheng chimed in, "I was a little nervous at first, but after what they did, I suddenly stopped being nervous. I think they were more nervous than me."

Jinli: "Yes, yes!"

Suddenly, a phone call came in, and Jinli realized it was from Director Chu, so she hung up her chat with Gu Cheng.

Soon, Chu Chenliang's cheerful voice rang out: "Jinli, the college entrance exam results will be announced today!"

Jinli smiled and said, "Yes, I'm already waiting in front of the computer."

Chu Chenliang: "I'm calling you this time for no other reason than to tell you not to be nervous. No matter how you do on the exam, as long as 'Dawn' does well at the box office, you'll be the female lead in the second movie!"

Jinli felt reassured and said, "Thank you, Director. This is the best news I've received recently. If my agent knew, he would definitely be very happy too."

Chu Chenliang: "Okay, I'll call your agent in a bit!"

Director Chu did not make this decision hastily.

These days, "Dawn" has started its promotion, and he has taken advantage of Jin Li's popularity. "Dawn" has now exceeded 100 million yuan in pre-sale box office, of which at least 70 to 80 million yuan is for Jin Li.

With his box office appeal, if he could get Jinli to be the female lead in his next film, it would actually be him benefiting from it.

What's more, Jinli's acting skills are not bad either!

Director Chu was also a bit insecure because his previous film flopped. In addition, the early promotion of this film was not going well, so when he saw Jinli, such a money-making machine, he wanted to hold on to her tightly.

Jinli hung up the phone, glanced at the time, and saw it was 11:30.

She thought for a moment and then turned off her phone.

The official website will display the scores at 12 o'clock. Before that, she wanted to be alone with herself.

Time ticked by, and Jinli's two assistants, who were also in the room, kept checking the time, becoming increasingly restless.

Chen Qin couldn't bear it any longer and left the room. A little while later, Xiao Cheng also left the room.

The two lingered in the corridor, staring at the decorative painting on the wall, a lifelike sunflower.

Chen Qin asked, "Why aren't you inside?"

Xiao Cheng: "It's too oppressive, I don't dare to stay here."

Chen Qin took a deep breath. "Jinli has such a good attitude. I can't take it anymore. Let's wait until 12 o'clock to go in."

Xiao Cheng nodded silently.

At 11:55, Sui Lingfang came from the office area and entered Jinli's room. Chen Qin and Xiao Cheng followed her in.

The following days felt like an eternity.

11点56分，11点57分，11点58分，11点59分，12点！
The college entrance examination results page was always open. Jinli refreshed the page and then entered her examination admission ticket number.

The next second, a notification popped up from the system—

[The page is busy, please try again later!]
"Ha ha!"

Sure enough, people can laugh when they're speechless :)

It was 12:05 PM. Jinli entered her exam admission ticket number again, and this time, the webpage took a long time to load.
