Mu Yan saw Siyu's @ the night before, and then followed her Weibo to find the cartoon version of "Fashion Strategy".
Mu Yan was once the deputy chief editor of a well-known comic magazine in China. Later, she was headhunted by the newly established Qiman with a high salary to be the chief editor. Originally, she was not in charge of recruiting authors, but yesterday, when she accidentally saw Siyu's manga, she immediately had a strong premonition in her heart:
This person will definitely be popular in the future!
Although this author, whose pen name was "Koi Fish," had never published any works before, her style was very mature, and her imagination was big enough. The story had just started, and it had already whetted the reader's appetite. The cool and refreshing plot made people very interested to continue reading. From this point, it could be seen that Koi Fish was definitely not a novice.
Mu Yan could not help but suspect that this was a big name who had opened a sockpuppet account to test the waters? But as far as she knew, there was no author who was good at this kind of short and cute cartoon strip manga!
Although she was puzzled, Mu Yan quickly extended an olive branch to Siyu. What a joke, Qiman was now in a hurry to recruit talents. The quality of Koi's work was unquestionable. Didn't she see that a lot of VIPs had already shared it? If other competitors poached her, she would have nowhere to cry!
Because she had suddenly found a good seedling, Mu Yan couldn't wait for the person on the other side to reply immediately. However, when she was almost done, there was still no response in her private inbox. Mu Yan was a little disappointed, but could only comfort herself. Maybe the other party had already gone to sleep?
As a result, when she woke up the next day, she was pleasantly surprised to find that Koi had replied!
However, the reply was only a short sentence: [Okay, I'm very happy to work with you.]
Even though Mu Yan was experienced, she was stunned for a moment. No, how could she be like Koi and immediately agree without asking? Wasn't she afraid of being cheated by others?
Mu Yan had seen too many crafty authors. They relied on their talent and did not put the platform in their eyes. Wrangling with them would annoy them to death. This was the first time Mu Yan had seen such a casual and easy-going person.
Perhaps it was because he cherished talent, but Mu Yan couldn't bear to see Koi being so "naive." He silently set her up as someone who only cared about painting and ignored the secular world. He thought to himself that since Koi trusted Quman so much, they couldn't let her down! In addition, this child was too defenseless. Forget it, since she was someone he had recruited, he should take more care of her in the future, lest Koi be deceived one day.
Siyu had no idea that Mu Yan's imagination had run wild with just one sentence. Even before they had officially signed the contract, he had already developed a tender affection for her.
Heaven and Earth could be her witness. She was a professional cartoonist in her previous life. She had jumped around on several online platforms, so she had already figured out the details of the contract. She could tell at a glance if there were any traps in the contract. That was why she accepted Quman's invitation generously.
Both parties were interested, so the conversation was very smooth. In the morning, Siyu had already finalized the details of the contract with Mu Yan. However, what surprised Siyu was that Mu Yan took the initiative to raise the conditions very well even before she said anything. It was as if he was afraid that she would be at a disadvantage.
"Do you still have any drafts? Quman's home page has a column for new stars' recommendations. The position is very conspicuous. After your work is published, I can help you get this position. " Finally signing this good seedling, Mu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, his mind became active, and he immediately began to plan for his silly child.
"Yes, yes … But isn't this too fast? Don't you need to update it a little more?" Siyu was a little confused. This treatment was too good! In her previous life, she could only enjoy this kind of treatment after she became famous. But now, she was just a newcomer!
"It's okay. You just need to listen to me." As the chief editor, Mu Yan said that this was just a small matter. She wanted to promote the person, so there was nothing wrong with giving more resources! She said that the koi could become famous, so it would definitely come true!
So, under Mu Yan's green light, Siyu sent the scanned copy of the contract within a day, and posted the last two sentences of "Fashion Strategy" on Quman.
Mu Yan patted her chest and promised that she would take care of everything. Siyu only needed to focus on painting. In addition, Siyu's body was too weak, so she didn't have the energy to pay attention to these trivial things. Therefore, after she handed in the draft, Siyu didn't bother to pay attention to it.
However, Assistant Xu of "Feng Shang" took the initiative to call her. He said that the refined photos had been developed, and he asked Siyu to go over. At the same time, he happily paid her.
Siyu checked her bank account. There wasn't much money, only 20,000 yuan. The agency that she signed with still had to take half of the commission, which meant that she would only get a mere 10,000 yuan. According to Assistant Xu, the extra 10,000 yuan was subsidized by Yu Ling in private, which was considered as a consolation for her shooting until she vomited blood.
Twenty thousand yuan … Siyu stroked her chest. She only felt a faint pain. The money was almost used up just to buy medicine. At most, it would last her for half a month. Most of the medicine needed to treat this disease was expensive. But if she didn't take the medicine, she would feel very uncomfortable. Zhou Siyu's family was not well off, and it was mainly because of this disease.
It was still a matter of money … Siyu sighed. She was even more determined to change her career as soon as possible. It was not easy to work in the modeling industry. The salary was not high, and the agency was a scammer. It was no wonder that the original Siyu tried her best to climb up the social ladder. Especially after she hooked up with her stepbrother, Ji Lin, she tried her best to scheme against him and steal his resources.
After drinking the bitter Chinese medicine as usual, Siyu took a taxi and rushed to Feng Shang. Unexpectedly, the person who came to pick her up was Yu Ling.
However, compared to his dissatisfaction with Siyu during the shoot, Yu Ling's attitude was much gentler this time. He had a smile on his face: "You are here? Teacher Zhang Chao was very satisfied with this shoot. He also said that he would like to work with you again in the future. You have made a lot of money! "
Yu Ling carefully looked at Siyu's face. He saw that there was no color on her face. Even her lips were pale. He couldn't help but remember the scene when she vomited blood that day. He asked: "Are you feeling better?"
"Ling Jie, this is an old problem. Don't worry," Siyu replied obediently.
Her attention was actually focused on Yu Ling's head. The last time they met, Siyu noticed a dark pink light floating above Yu Ling's head. But today, the light had disappeared and was replaced by a faint black fog. Yu Ling was still unaware of it.
At first glance, Siyu thought it was something dirty. So when Yu Ling turned around to grab something, she subconsciously reached out her hand to touch it.
Unexpectedly, the moment her fingers touched the black fog, a few images flashed through her mind: On a busy road, a girl with a backpack was hit by a car that lost control and crashed into the sidewalk. In the end, she landed heavily on the ground a few meters away. The ground was covered in blood, her lifeless eyes, and the terrified crowd … And that girl's face just happened to be 70-80% similar to Yu Ling who was standing in front of her …
These scenes flashed through Siyu's mind. When she suddenly came back to her senses, she immediately gasped for breath.
What was that … an omen? That black fog was floating above Yu Ling's head. She only saw these images after touching it. Could this omen also be related to Yu Ling? Was it hinting that something would happen to Yu Ling or the people around her?
Siyu closed her eyes and exhaled. She slowly calmed down her overly intense heartbeat. Suddenly seeing such a bloody scene had a big impact on her.
Yu Ling originally wanted to talk to her about something else, but when he turned around and saw her like this, he jumped in fright: "What's wrong with you?" Don't be sick again!
"No, I just suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. It's nothing." Siyu hesitated for a moment, but still looked at Yu Ling and asked: "Ling Jie, do you have a daughter?"
Yu Ling was stunned: "Yes." She thought about it strangely. She usually separated her work from her life very quickly, and she never talked about personal matters with others. Where did Zhou Siyu learn about this?
Siyu confirmed again: "Is she in primary school?"
Yu Ling nodded: "She's in the sixth grade this year." Seeing Siyu's thoughtful look, she couldn't help but ask: "Why are you asking this?"
"I'm just saying. I've heard someone mention it before." Siyu calmly changed the topic. She was now 70% sure that the girl in the flashing image was Yu Ling's daughter. In other words, the black fog was actually hinting that Yu Ling's daughter would be in a car accident?
Siyu was a little uncertain. Although she was the author of the original manga, she only knew the fates of the main characters. For a passerby like Yu Ling, who had only appeared once, she didn't know the trajectory of his life. Not to mention, this was a real world, and there were even more variables.
In addition, Siyu wasn't sure if the black fog above her head was a bad omen. She couldn't just tell Yu Ling that his daughter might be in a car accident, right? It would be strange if he didn't kill her!
It seemed that she had to verify it herself …
Yu Ling quickly forgot about this little episode, and she mentioned it again: "By the way, the chief editor and I are very satisfied with the finished product this time. I think with your qualifications, you can try to fight for a better opportunity. Have you heard of Ji Lin? "
Hearing this name, Siyu unconsciously bit her lip.
Ji Lin? How could she not know? Ji Lin was the male lead of "Superstar Doting Marriage", and he was also the original body's half-brother, but Siyu didn't expect to suddenly hear his name from Yu Ling's mouth.
"Of course I know." Siyu had a bad premonition in her heart. If she remembered correctly, this was the main storyline …
Sure enough, Yu Ling continued: "Ji Lin's new MV is currently auditioning for the female lead. The audition is set for this Friday, so you have to prepare well. I can tell you that Ji Lin's Xinfei Company has been secretly acquired by Huanyi. Right now, Huanyi is looking for new talent. If you perform well, you might be signed by Huanyi! The agency you're currently working for is too short-sighted. There are traps everywhere, and it's not going to make a difference. If you want to jump out of this fire pit, you have to seize this opportunity! "
After the last shoot, the photographer and the chief editor were full of praise for Siyu. They thought that this young model was able to persevere through the shoot even though she was sick, and the final product was excellent. Just based on this dedication, it was rare in the industry. Even Yu Ling, who originally didn't think highly of her, changed her opinion.
Seeing Siyu in a daze, Yu Ling thought that she didn't understand the weight of her words, so she reminded: "Anyway, remember what I said. Do you know who Huanyi's backer is? It's the Lu family of Rongcheng! "
