My agency went bankrupt before I even got on stage.

Xia Yan's home is only a ten-minute drive from the recording studio. It is a detached sea-view villa in a high-end community on Huahai Island, and the security measures in the entire community are very good.

However, this is inevitable. Xia Yan's primary consideration when choosing a place to stay is security. If the security is not up to standard, no matter how good the environment or how excellent the conditions are, she will not move in.

Back at the villa, Lin Fan quickly changed Xia Yan's makeup and styling. To differentiate Xia Yan from her usual elegant and refined temperament, Lin Fan specially created a fashionable and trendy look for her, which, combined with exquisite makeup, greatly transformed Xia Yan's aura.

Even Xiaoyu and Chen Yuan almost didn't recognize Xia Yan after she finished her makeup and hair!

"Wow! Is this a head transplant? The makeup isn't heavy, but it looks like I have a completely different face!"

At first glance, I thought she was just a pretty young lady who looked a bit like Yan Yan!

"Lin Fan! Your skills are absolutely amazing! Seriously! Even if you don't become a celebrity, your makeup and styling skills alone will be enough to make you live a comfortable life!"

……

"Thank you for the compliment. I work in a big factory and rely entirely on this skill to make a living! If you need any business in the future, please feel free to call me anytime. I guarantee you top-notch service and a 20% discount!"

Lin Fan thought to himself, although the system is unreliable, the mandatory skill it produces, "108 Celebrity Makeup Techniques," is no joke! Even hairdressing and styling have to take a backseat in front of it!

Looking at her somewhat unfamiliar reflection in the mirror, Xia Yan felt extremely satisfied. Even Lian Xiaoyu and Chen Yuan, who knew her so well, said they couldn't recognize her, so the chances of her being recognized by fans were probably very low! In other words, she could go out and have fun and eat delicious food without any worries!

"Okay! I'll go change my clothes and leave right away!"

"I'm going to change my clothes too!" Lian Xiaoyu followed her upstairs.

Chen Yuan also pointed in the direction of the room: "Me too..."

Lin Fan was speechless. Did this girl have to change her clothes before going out? Her clothes were perfectly fine, so why change them? They weren't dirty!

As Lin Fan was inwardly grumbling, he saw Lian Xiaoyu come running downstairs again, tossing him a bunch of keys: "Little Fan, I remember you have a driver's license. Go to the garage, drive the car out, and wait for us at the door! This is the car key, and this is the garage key. Turn left after you exit the garage; you'll see it as soon as you look."

"Okay!" Lin Fan took the keys and went out to find the garage.

Just as Lian Xiaoyu said, Lin Fan spotted the garage at a glance. The two cars in the garage were both in the million-dollar range, but compared to Xia Yan's net worth, they seemed quite understated.

However, Lin Fan was still a little excited. Like the original owner of this body, although he had a driver's license, he rarely had the opportunity to drive. He was a true homebody! He basically never had the chance to drive out, and of course, it was also true that he couldn't afford a car.

With the keys to both cars in hand, Lin Fan randomly picked one, drove it out of the garage, parked it in front of the villa, and waited for Xia Yan and the other two to come down.

Fortunately, the group was quick, and Lin Fan didn't have to wait long before the three girls came out, all dressed. After a whole day of recording, they'd only had a quick bite to eat at lunch and were practically starving!

Lin Fan looked over and saw that Xia Yan had put on a hat to cover her face even more, in order to avoid being recognized. Lian Xiaoyu, on the other hand, had put on a pair of black-rimmed glasses to reduce the recognizability of her pretty face, so as not to attract attention and discover that Xia Yan was in disguise.

Chen Yuan went even further, wearing a mask that covered most of her face. After all, her face was very familiar to many media people and fans; everyone knew she was Xia Yan's personal assistant, and the chances of Xia Yan appearing wherever she was increased significantly, so her disguise was essential.

"Let's go!" Lian Xiaoyu got into the passenger seat, while Xia Yan and Chen Yuan got into the back seat.

Lin Fan asked them, "Have you decided what you want to eat?"

The three girls exchanged glances and exclaimed in unison, "Hot pot!"

Lin Fan was taken aback by their commotion: "It's just hot pot, why are you making it sound like we're going to war?"

"You don't understand!" Lian Xiaoyu shook her head seriously.

Xia Yan laughed and said, "You'll understand later!"

Chen Yuan then handed over an unopened mask from behind: "I suggest you wear a mask too, since you're quite popular now, be careful not to get recognized."

"Is this necessary?" Lin Fan asked in surprise.

After all, Lin Fan had always stayed at the big company, and even on vacation he spent his time in Xia Yan's recording studio, so he didn't have a very clear concept of his popularity.

The system's method of calculating popularity is incredibly frustrating.

The three girls nodded solemnly.

"Alright, alright!" Lin Fan had no choice but to take the mask, unpack it, and put it on. "Which hot pot restaurant should we go to? I'm not very familiar with this area."

"Don't worry." Lian Xiaoyu waved her phone. "I've already booked a table. I'll give you navigation; just follow it."

"Boss Lian, you're really reliable!" Lin Fan couldn't help but give Lian Xiaoyu a thumbs up.

Lian Xiaoyu proudly tossed her chin up: "That's right! Ready, let's go!"

Lin Fan started the car and slowly drove out of the residential area, following the navigation towards the hot pot restaurant.

But as soon as he left the residential area, Lin Fan realized something was wrong!

Because the [Forced Skill: Get Rid of the Paparazzi] has been activated!

Wow! There really are paparazzi staking out Xia Yan's apartment complex, waiting to create a big scoop? Lin Fan sneered. I was just worried about where to use these bizarre skills! I didn't expect someone to be so eager to give me such a great opportunity to show off!

Lin Fan warned the three girls, "There are paparazzi following our car, hold on tight!"

"Where? Where?" Lian Xiaoyu turned around, but saw nothing. "Where are the paparazzi?"

Xia Yan didn't turn around; instead, she subconsciously pulled her hat brim down to cover her face. Chen Yuan, wearing a mask, could easily turn around and quickly spotted a car following behind: "Isn't that the black car? The license plate looks familiar; I think I saw it when I went out to buy groceries."

This basically confirms the case: the person in the car must have tracked down Chen Yuan to the outside of the residential area, but was unable to enter, so they had to wait outside.

"What do we do now?"

Lin Fan reassured him, "Don't worry, we'll just shake them off. Hold on tight!"

At that moment, Lin Fan accelerated, and the car, like a light boat, merged into the traffic on Huahai Island. Huahai Island was just entering its evening rush hour, and the number of vehicles on the road was gradually increasing, providing Lin Fan with the perfect opportunity to shake off the paparazzi.

Lin Fan controlled the car's speed, skillfully weaving through the traffic. In less than ten minutes, he had left the paparazzi following him far behind!

"We've shaken them off!" Chen Yuan, who had been observing the enemy's situation from the rear, happily announced the news. "Brother Fan is amazing!"

Xia Yan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Lian Xiaoyu clapped enthusiastically for Lin Fan: "Little Fan, you're awesome!"

Lin Fan smiled demurely: "Today, please call me Lin Fan, the God of Akina Mountain!"
