Ji Nian had finished installing the guitar, said thanks to the little older brother, and then left with the guitar on her back. At this time, she only had 1,300 yuan left in her hand. She felt a little anxious, wondering if she could go back to the original world. If she did go back...
"Forget it," Ji Nian pursed her lips. What if she couldn't go back? She should first help the original owner pay off some of her debts, although she didn't know exactly how to make money.
She walked to a park and Ji Nian found a place with no one and sat down. A gust of wind blew by and her whole body felt much more comfortable. Seeing no one around, she freely took off her face mask.
In the distance on the lawn, there were still several picnic blankets laid out with snacks on them, and little kids playing around.
Ji Nian took out her phone. The scenery here was nice, so she wanted to record a video here. She took out her guitar, tried out the feel, played an accompaniment, and then played a versatile accompaniment. She tried it out and felt it was still good.
She set up her phone, put on headphones, adjusted the position of her face. It had to be said, Ji Nian's face was flawless from 360 degrees. Her original face was just forgettable in the crowd. This was also an experience of what it felt like to be a beauty. It was truly magical.
With everything ready, she pressed record on the video. She smiled and said to start, "This song is called 'Guest'. The composer is (Mysterious). I'm singing the whole song as requested by a comment."
After singing, she felt very distressed in her heart for some reason, a very sad feeling. Her heart kept faintly aching.
Ji Nian frowned and gently patted the place on her chest. How strange. While singing, she especially wanted to cry. She picked up her phone and added captions before uploading it.
After getting everything done, she wanted to go back. In this unfamiliar world, she didn't have such a good mood to go out shopping. Actually it was because she didn't have money.
On the subway, her phone kept showing message notifications. She took it out and looked. Her eyes showed surprise as the video's click rate kept rising. She saw the comments below.
"Your wedding is also my coming of age ceremony. To be honest, I don't know this female celebrity. I just looked her up. She is Cheng Liran's ex-girlfriend who caused a huge ruckus. But this song sings my story."
"Remember to send me an invitation. I want to see the answer key next to you, the failed exam-taker."
"Crying, just went through heartbreak."
"Because of Cheng Liran, I don't like this Ji Nian. But I have to say, she sings well."
"Trash Ji Nian, get out of the entertainment industry."
"Acting pitiful now?"
"Does anyone want to know who (Mysterious) is?"
"My god, no makeup! So pretty!"
Since most people didn't recognize her, the comments below were still quite friendly. She didn't want to reply to each one, but instead liked a few selectively.
At this time, the passerby on the subway who was browsing Douyin saw the person singing in the video, and the person standing next to her wearing the exact same clothes. Although she had a mask on, intuition told her it was Ji Nian.
"Are you...Ji Nian?"
Ji Nian was startled. She could recognize her even with this? No, she absolutely wouldn't admit it. She firmly shook her head.
She just saw the passerby look puzzled for a moment, look back at her phone, and want to compare the person in front of her again. But when she raised her head, the person had just gotten off the subway. She suddenly realized, it was her!
The video had only been uploaded for two hours, yet it blew up. It included a torrent of abuse from Cheng Liran fans, but now she had become a hot search on Douyin. And Weibo blew up another title.
(Cheng Liran’s girlfriend lost love and sang love song) Mystery person composed it. Is this her capitalist backer? Or is it her comeback plan?
At this time, He Yi stared wide-eyed in disbelief. How was it that Ji Nian seemed to be aimbotting her way to hot search after hot search along the way? She opened the uploaded video.
He Yi: Big sister, you made hot search again.
Ji Nian: You’re 4 years older than me, thanks.
He Yi: Tell me, where did you get this song from? It's too good!
Ji Nian: Didn't you see I wrote (Mysterious) composer?
He Yi: Do I know what you're capable of? Tell me who Mystery is!
Ji Nian: Tsk, myself!
He Yi: Bye!
Ji Nian looked at her phone and laughed. She found that this He Yi was quite cute, unlike the dominant and aggressive person in the novel. She nodded in realization. That's right, she was a new artiste manager now. The female lead hadn't shown up yet for a while.
On the other hand, Cheng Liran, the idol browsing through short videos, listened to this song repeatedly. As an idol, singing was his primary job while acting was secondary. But this song was very special. Who exactly would give her a new song?
At this time, Eighth Older Brother also came across the video and urgently ran over, saying, "Look, Ji Nian actually released a new song. This is a new song! The composition and lyrics don't seem to be written by herself. Who is Mystery?"
"She didn't write it herself. She doesn't have that level of skill." Cheng Liran pursed his lips and said.
"Could there really be capitalists backing her rise?" Eighth Older Brother said in puzzlement.
"Impossible." Cheng Liran had an absolute tone as he said, "Don't bother with her. We have nothing to do with her now."
Eighth Older Brother nodded. But he had a thought that he didn't know if he could ask Ji Nian for the contact info of this mysterious person.
On the other hand, Ji Nian, who had just returned home, felt hungry. Looking at the induction cooker and wok in the small kitchen, she wanted to eat piping hot rice. She immediately sprung into action and ran to the supermarket.
As a qualified short video blogger, she had to share her life. Taking advantage of the gossip between the original owner and popular little fresh meat actor now, she started recording videos again.
Flashing a smile, she recorded her dazzling smile and said to the screen, "Today I'll teach everyone a money saving trick."
She entered the supermarket and picked up the discounted spinach in her hand, saying, "This vegetable looks alright still. It's on sale for only 1.5 yuan. I'll take it."
Then she looked to the side at the fresh refrigerated goods, all packaged nicely. She held up a packaged pork and joyfully said, "Wow, this half piece of meat is only 5 yuan. I can take it."
After checking out, she went back and started recording the finished product of the cooked dish, neatly plated on the table. She happily said, "Tonight's dinner of stir-fried pork and spinach, the pork was 6.5 in total. Adding the rice and everything, this meal cost about 7 yuan. Today I saved money again! Have you all eaten?"
After recording, Ji Nian first heartily ate her meal. After eating, she busily edited the video using her phone's built-in functions to simply edit it. Then she uploaded it.
By this time, her Douyin fans had already reached 2 million. Of course, most of them were Cheng Liran fans who came over, with the main purpose being to scold her...
