Half an hour, several paintings were completely sold out. Jiang Xunzhi herself didn't expect that her paintings would be so popular. The extra thirty million in her account made her ecstatic. This was the first time she had seen so much money since her rebirth, not to mention how excited she was.
The treatment fees, living expenses, and daily expenses were enough. The rest would be kept to earn some interest, and a portion would be withdrawn for daily expenses. After everything was arranged properly, Jiang Xunzhi started looking for photography work online. Before she died, she worked as a visual arts director and had the most dealings with celebrities. Now, she was definitely returning to her old profession, getting closer to the truth of her death by entering the entertainment circle.
In just two weeks, Jiang Xunzhi became a contracted photographer for EC Magazine based on her own abilities. The level was low, but the threshold was high. EC Magazine was the archenemy of Yoyo Magazine, founded a few years earlier than Yoyo but later surpassed by EC. Even after Jiang Xunzhi became the editor-in-chief of EC Magazine, Yoyo's sales were still not as good as EC's, and it was known in the industry as the "eternal second place."
The staff were setting up the shooting location on site, occasionally gossiping. Two employees chatted and laughed, and the conversation turned to Jiang Xunzhi.
"At that time, yoyo even sent someone to poach Jiang Xunzhi, offering a high price, but she remained unmoved. This matter reached the higher-ups, all the way to the president Shen Tingsi. Shen Tingsi directly increased her original salary tenfold. At that time, not only did this matter spread within the company, it also made the news."
Jiang Xunzhi, who was watching the footage nearby, also heard them talking about her shining moments, and felt secretly delighted: "I didn't expect to be so famous."
The preparations are ready, but the model's expressiveness is not what Jiang Xunzhi wanted. She patiently guides the female model and says, "Follow my ideas, and you will gain fame with this set of photos." After the shoot, the model herself is amazed, saying she has never taken such perfect photos before.
As soon as the photos are posted online, they are viewed and shared by tens of millions of people. The number of clicks breaks through one billion in just one minute, breaking the record of EC Magazine at that time. Yoyo, looking at this astonishing data backstage, finally wins one. The editor-in-chief immediately calls Jiang Xunzhi to share the good news, which is the result she expected after flipping through thousands of magazines tirelessly.
At this point, Jiang Xunzhi becomes a photographer sought after by various celebrities. Her fan base grows by three million overnight, and she receives an invitation from the capital side on her phone. This is a networking event for industry insiders, and various celebrities, stars, and bosses will attend.
"Tonight, I'm afraid I'll run into many familiar faces. If I come across Shen Tingsi, I'd better keep my distance."
At the evening party, Jiang Xunzhi held a glass of champagne and looked around. The popular actor Song Yuchen, renowned director Angela, and the rising star Lu Yao were not very familiar to Jiang Xunzhi. Her old acquaintances were the group of capital figures in their forties and fifties gathered ahead.
The balding man was the vice president of Four Seas Film Company, known for his love of money and women. The man with glasses and an average appearance was the president of Times Entertainment Company, and also Jiang Xunzhi's current boss.
Jiang Xunzhi thought to himself, "These old cunning and sly things must be talking about some dirty business again." Slowly approaching them, he pretended to drink and look around.
The bald man said, "Manager Fang, has the new photographer from your magazine come today?"
Manager Fang smiled slightly and replied, "The invitation was sent, but I don't know if the person has come."
Another person said, "I heard that Mr. Shen will come today."
"It's really rare. He has never attended such a party before. It's a bit sudden."
"I think it's understandable. Yoyo magazine's sales have skyrocketed, and the former vice president of EC, Jiang Xunzhi, died mysteriously at home. The double blow to EC is not small. And this overnight popular photographer EC definitely wants to take over. President Fang, you have to be careful."
"The police claim it was a suicide, but from what I saw, Jiang Xunzhi seemed perfectly normal, not like someone who would commit suicide."
"No need to say more. To reach her level, who would think of committing suicide? It must be a murder, and then they just spent some money to change the narrative with the police. Mr. Shen is also investigating this matter behind the scenes. Those who had good or bad relationships with Jiang Xunzhi have all been investigated by Mr. Shen."
Listening to this, I feel somewhat reliable. When I close my eyes, I see Lu Yanci. Thinking of Lu Yanci, I didn't see him at the evening party. Could it be that he's not well-known enough and wasn't invited? Shen Tingsi suddenly appeared, drawing the attention of everyone present, including Jiang Xunzhi. He has fair skin, is extremely handsome, with light eyes like glass, giving off an air of unapproachability."
Shen Tingsi When he arrived, it became a battlefield for women, but he was like a block of wood, always cold and unresponsive, completely oblivious to charm. Suddenly, his icy gaze glanced at her, like a warning, which immediately frightened Jiang Xunzhi and made her look away, heading towards the bathroom to calm down.
Hiding in the bathroom and smoking, this was the first time Jiang Xunzhi had smoked since her rebirth. In the past, whenever she felt upset, she would have a cigarette, and after smoking, she would feel her body relax and her mind become clearer, significantly improving her work efficiency.
Suddenly, there was a strange noise from outside: "You, a despicable person, what right do you have to compete with me for endorsements? Everyone knows that without connections in this circle, you'll just be kicked around like a ball."
"Also, in the future, stay away from Lu Yanci. He is not the person you can fantasize about. A pheasant can only be a pheasant."
Hearing this, Jiang Xunzhi hiding behind seemed excited. It's quite interesting. Two women fighting over a man, just thinking about it is a bit thrilling.
Someone outside: "You've only gained fame from a set of photos, and you delude yourself into thinking you can turn things around. Dream on. I advise you to be sensible and consider your position carefully."
Although this kind of thing is not uncommon in this circle, as a spectator, it's still quite thrilling to witness such a scene. It wasn't until there was no movement outside that Jiang Xunzhi calmly came out. Just as he left the bathroom, he ran into Lu Yanci.
"How have you been lately?" Jiang Xunzhi pretended to be accommodating. "Mr. Lu."
Seeing Lu Yanci approaching aggressively, he said, "I say, stop pretending. Aren't you tired of pretending for so long?"
"......?"
"How much did Jiang Nan pay you to stay by my side and monitor me like a dog?"
Jiang Nan, this name sounds familiar, but how do you say 'monitor' in Chinese?
At this moment, Jiang Xunzhi's head started to ache as he recalled the previous incident involving Wan Qingran. Wan Qingran's grandmother urgently needed money for medical treatment, and coincidentally, Jiang Nan had just made a deal with Wan Qingran. She would cover the treatment costs, but Wan Qingran also had to stay by Lu Yanci's side and use all means to obtain useful information about Lu Yanci.
