Chapter 35

     Tang Niannian asked Shi Xi curiously: “Teacher Xiaoshi, are you really going to endorse a wig brand?”

     Lin Wenyi just sent a new message: 【Are you surprised to see that a wig brand wants you to endorse it? In fact, there are other beauty brands that want to cooperate with you! 】

     Shi Xi smiled and shook her head, and said to Tang Niannian: “Not necessarily endorse wigs, there are other brands that are interested in cooperating with me, and I will tell you when there is good news.”

     “Yeah,” Tang Niannian raised her glass to her: “I wish you a smooth endorsement in advance!”

     Shi Xi clinked glasses with her: “Thank you.”

     After returning to the dormitory, Shi Xi received the endorsement-related information sent by Lin Wenyi, and Lin Wenyi asked her to read it before giving a reply.

     Shi Xi browsed through the information, rubbed her brows with a little disappointment, and asked Lin Ying and Teacher Zhuang for their opinions: “Teachers, what do you think of these brands?”

     Teacher Zhuang shook her head: “They are not good enough.”

     “It’s a good opportunity to have an endorsement, but the first endorsement is very important. These brands are really unsatisfactory,” Lin Ying thought for a while: “If I remember correctly, the main film of “Evening Canteen” will be broadcast at 6 pm tomorrow. You might as well wait until the main film is broadcast before making a decision. Maybe you will have a new answer.”

     Teacher Zhuang looked at the time and nodded in agreement: “It’s late, you should go to bed, watch it tomorrow.”

     After a busy day, Shi Xi was really sleepy. She lay on the bed, and Lin Ying waved to turn off the lights in the room and whispered “Good night”.

     The next day, Shi Xi received a message from Director Cen to her Wuyou Temple account just after washing her face.

     Director Cen: 【Master Qingshi, please tell Master Wuyou that I have sent an invitation letter to Chef Zhou’s restaurant to record a food variety show. Chef Zhou, please rest in peace soon and stop thinking about me.】 

     Attached to the back is a photo of the invitation letter, which is a bit formal and grand.

     Shi Xi looked at the word “thinking about” and found it a bit funny. It seems that Director Cen is really scared. 

     “Pressure can really improve a person’s work efficiency. In just a few days, Director Cen has completed the procedures for the next variety show.” Shi Xi opened a bottle of milk and drank two sips, and lazily called out: “Chef Zhou, come and see the invitation letter from Director Cen to your restaurant.”

     A glass bottle on the desk shook, and a wisp of light smoke came out of the bottle and slowly floated in front of Shi Xi. After a few days of salvation, the resentment on Chef Zhou has faded to the point where it is almost invisible.

     Chef Zhou turned into a human form and squinted his eyes to look at Shi Xi’s mobile phone screen.

     Shi Xi tilted his head: “Chef Zhou, are you satisfied?”

     “Satisfied, satisfied…” Chef Zhou stepped back a few steps and bowed deeply to Shi Xi: “Thank you, Taoist priest, for saving me.”

     A drop of crystal tears slid down from the corner of Chef Zhou’s eyes, and turned into a wisp of smoke before it hit the ground and dissipated in the air.

     Teacher Zhuang appeared out of thin air on the sofa, looked at the place where the smoke was drifting, and sighed: “Chef Zhou left like this, I am a little reluctant.”

     Lin Ying appeared beside him, gently shaking the fan: “It’s a good thing to let go of obsession and go to the afterlife, no need to be reluctant.”

     “It’s indeed a good thing,” Zhang Qingyu held his cheek and looked at Shi Xi, revealing a complicated look: “This is the Nth vengeful spirit that Junior Sister has successfully saved. It’s a pity that several of us have deep obsessions and have not been saved after being with Junior Sister for so long.”

     “It’s very simple to save me,” Lin Ying turned to look at Shi Xi, and raised her eyebrows slightly: “My case has been too many years, and it’s not easy to find the real murderer. As long as I can see Xiao Shi use my talent to reach the top of the entertainment industry, I can let go of my obsession and go to the afterlife.”

     It turns out that Lin Ying’s obsession is to use Shi Xi’s hand to touch the crown of the best actress.

     Shi Xi: “…” Is this very simple?

     Teacher Zhuang smiled at Shi Xi: “It would be even better if I could win the Best Makeup and Hairstyling Award while I’m on top of the entertainment industry.”

     Zhang Qingyu narrowed his gem-like green eyes and said innocently: “Junior sister can definitely do it, including using my magic talent to become the number one in the metaphysics circle!”

     Shi Xi: “…”

     At 6 pm, the main episode of “Evening Canteen” was officially broadcast.

     Tang Niannian and Mimi asked Shi Xi to have dinner together, and the three of them watched variety shows while eating.

     Tang Niannian took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and said to Mimi: “I have also recorded this variety show. My episode was just average, but when Teacher Xiaoshi went there, the variety show became popular.”

     “This episode is really popular. Even my agent has been attracted by Teacher Xiaoshi,” Mimi smiled at Shi Xi, revealing a cute little tiger tooth: “Teacher Xiaoshi, can you sign an autograph for my agent later? I’ll take it to the boss.”

     Shi Xi agreed in a gentle voice: “Okay.”

     “Look, Teacher Xiaoshi is here,” Tang Niannian sighed: “She’s like a fairy, and the art style is so healing.”

     Mimi squinted her eyes comfortably: “The post-production is very good, and the music is very comfortable. I feel that the main film can become popular again.”

     The main film condensed the three-hour live broadcast into one and a half hours, full of highlights. Even Tang Niannian, who had already followed the live broadcast, watched it with relish.

     At 7:30 in the evening, the variety show was over, Tang Niannian was still a little reluctant: “It’s over, I really want Teacher Xiaoshi to record a few more episodes.”

     Mimi: “I agree!”

     “Please tell your agent to thank her for her love,” Shi Xi handed the prepared signature to Mimi: “Meet at 8pm, we should go to the set to put on makeup, let’s go.”

     When she arrived at the set, Shi Xi had no time to look at her phone. It was late at night after filming. She returned to the hotel and fell asleep immediately. She didn’t see the response on the Internet after the main film was broadcast.

     She slept until she woke up naturally. After getting up, Shi Xi saw Lin Wenyi’s missed calls and messages.

   【Xiao Shishi, call me back when you wake up.】 

     Shi Xi called her back. When the call was connected, Lin Wenyi said directly: “No need to look at the brand information I gave you.”

     Shi Xi asked: “Is there a change?”

     Lin Wenyi said with a smile: “Chen Yu Ji wants you to endorse the upcoming sunset series of cosmetics products, sign a one-year contract, and the endorsement fee is 2 million!”

     “2 million?” Shi Xi felt that she was not sleepy at all, and felt that she was still in a dream: “Is it the Chen Yu Ji I know?”

     Chen Yu Ji is a domestic brand, mainly engaged in cosmetics products and makeup tools, with affordable prices, but it has a great influence on the people.

     The night before yesterday, Shi Xi was still embarrassed about the endorsement issue, and now a big brand endorsement has fallen from the sky. Happiness comes too fast like a tornado!

     “Yes, it’s the one called Chen Yu Ji. The latest episode of Evening Canteen has been played more than 35 million times. Your sunset atmosphere makeup has completely gone viral! The whole network is looking for the same makeup as Shi Xi. Chen Yu Ji is going to launch a sunset series of beauty makeup. Signing you is the best choice. It’s a sure win of 2 million!”

     Lin Wenyi spoke quickly, with a little pride in her tone: “I’ll tell you another good news. Your Weibo fans have exceeded 3 million. You are in the rising period now, and it’s just right to sign a short-term endorsement contract. When “Phantom” is released, your value will rise.”

     Shi Xi: “Sister Wenyi, I think it can be signed. I’ll trouble you with the next thing.”

     Lin Wenyi smiled and agreed: “Leave it to me, you can focus on filming and wait for my news.”

     Under Lin Wenyi’s supervision, the contract with Chen Yu Ji was quickly finalized, and Shi Xi found time to sign the contract.

     After that, Shi Xi spent a very busy period of time filming and shooting commercials.

     After successfully wrapping up the commercial shoot, the film crew was about to go on location. Before they left, they gave the actors a day off.

     Shi Xi felt she urgently needed to cleanse the ‘worker resentment’ from her body, so she packed her bags and went to Wuyou Temple that day.

     When Shi Xi went up the mountain, the sun was about to set, and she met the last group of pilgrims coming down the mountain on the way.

     Seeing the number of pilgrims, Shi Xi could only say one thing: Wuyou Temple is really popular.

     Shi Xi wore a hat and a mask, and walked on the edge of the stairs very low-key. In addition, the light was dim, and no one recognized her along the way.

     The higher she went, the fewer people there were. When she arrived at the gate of the Taoist temple, there was only Shi Xi and three ghosts around her.

     Shi Xi knocked on the door, and footsteps soon came from inside.

     After the courtyard door was opened, Shi Xi saw a young man with an afro.

     Shi Xi blinked: “Who are you, handsome boy?”

     A Taoist priest who came to hang up a sign? Which Taoist priest in the Taoist temple is so trendy?

     The afro-haired young man brushed away the curly hair that covered his eyebrows and eyes, and opened his eyes wide in surprise: “Xiao Shi, I’m Jia Ming!”

     “…”

     Shi Xi and her friends were silent.

     Shi Xi looked at his afro with an expression that was hard to describe: “I asked you to learn the skills to save your life, why did you come to learn beauty and hairdressing?”

     Teacher Zhuang volunteered: “You should come to me if you want to learn beauty and hairdressing.”

     Jia Ming scratched his head embarrassedly: “I learned the Five Thunder Talisman today, and I blew myself up when I didn’t operate it properly, and this is what happened.”

     This time it was Shi Xi’s turn to be surprised: “You learned the Thunder Talisman so quickly? Not bad, you will be able to learn it and go down the mountain soon.”

     Jia Ming pointed to his afro: “It’s still a long way to go.”

     “That’s not important, what’s important is,” Shi Xi patted his shoulder: “You have to call me uncle.”

     Zhang Qingyu floated to the other side of Jia Ming and put his hand on his other shoulder: “The important thing is that you have to call me uncle too.”

     “…Uncle Qingshi, Uncle Qingyu.” Jia Ming, the youngest Taoist priest in Wuyou Temple, could only say hello obediently.

     “Jia Ming, is Xiao Shi back?” Zhang Qingxuan’s voice sounded from the other end of the kitchen.

     “Brother Qingxuan!” Shi Xi had already smelled the aroma of food. She touched her flat belly and walked in while saying loudly: “Add one… add four sets of bowls and chopsticks, we are back to eat.”

     Zhang Qingxuan walked to the kitchen door: “Then we need to add two more dishes. You and Jiaming go to the vegetable garden to pick carrots and cabbages.”

     Shi Xi put her backpack on the bamboo chair and took the basket to pick vegetables.

     Teacher Zhuang smiled softly when he noticed the changes in Shi Xi: “Xiao Shi, all the resentment you had from work has completely dissipated.”

     Shi Xi looked up at him, and even the cinnabar mole at the corner of his eye became soft: “Because my heart is very calm now.”
