Half an hour later, Zhao Yan walked out of the company.
She was still a bit dazed, having just become the spokesperson for a company.
The three million five hundred thousand yuan in the card had indeed arrived, and she couldn't help but tut.
No wonder those celebrities earned money so easily; she was now experiencing the joy of earning like a celebrity.
"Hehe, Sister Zhao, Boss Jing said you'll be participating in a variety show in a few days. I saw the list of shows he gave, and there are several very popular celebrities on it."
"When the time comes, you have to get me a few more autographed photos."
Wu Jiaxin was happy for Zhao Yan.
"It's a small matter. By the way, what's the name of that variety show?" Zhao Yan asked.
Wang Xianzhi spoke up, "Love Your Life Season Two."
"It's a casual variety show where people eat, chat, and do some farming."
"However, according to the contract, Master, you only need to participate in one episode as a guest."
"Understood," Zhao Yan nodded.
She had heard of this variety show but hadn't watched it.
The reason she'd heard of it was that Wu Jiaxin often watched it in the shop and would giggle foolishly every time.
She'd look it up online later to understand the format.
"Let's go back first," Zhao Yan said.
Zhao Yan hadn't forgotten her main profession.
Endorsements like this didn't happen every day; she still had to rely on her main job to earn money.
After all, she made her living through her skills.
Wang Xianzhi drove, and Zhao Yan sat in the back seat.
It took them over ten minutes to reach the shop.
Zhao Yan looked through the car window and saw over a dozen young people gathered outside the shop.
Frankly, Zhao Yan felt a bit weary.
These dozen or so people were still the young disciples of the Xuanmen. Thinking about it, they had visited nearly three times a week.
They had practically turned her shop into a check-in point.
Before Zhao Yan could even open the car door, they recognized her car, and over a dozen people swarmed towards it.
"Senior Zhao, we have something we'd like you to help us with."
Zhao Yan thought to herself that she hadn't even finished her own tasks, how could she have the leisure to help them?
"Sorry, my master has been busy all day and is really tired. Please move aside. If you have anything, we can discuss it in a few days." Wang Xianzhi quickly got out of the car, pushed the young men aside, opened the car door, and Zhao Yan got out.
Seeing as they were all in the same profession, she still smiled at them as she got out.
After smiling, the smile immediately vanished from her face.
"Senior Zhao, we're not unreasonable. We've already pooled the funds and won't let you help for free."
Zhao Yan's face broke into a smile again. She should have said they were paying from the start.
She had thought these young people were accustomed to getting things for free and were planning to do so here.
Wang Xianzhi saw Zhao Yan's smile, which was quite different from her previous one, and he could still distinguish it.
"Disciple, you talk to them. I'm going inside to have a drink of water. Tell me what it is." Zhao Yan patted Wang Xianzhi's shoulder, took out her keys, and opened the door.
Wang Xianzhi responded, turned around, and began talking with the young men.
As soon as Zhao Yan had a cup of water, Wang Xianzhi walked over.
"Master, I've finished discussing the matter."
"They know your strength. Over a dozen people each contributed twenty thousand yuan, totaling two hundred and eighty thousand yuan."
"Hmm, that price is reasonable."
They couldn't compare to bosses like Jing Hongxiu.
Helping them out for 250,000 yuan was appropriate.
Asking for over a million yuan right off the bat was too much; money wasn't leaves, and they couldn't earn that much.
"What is it?" Zhao Yan asked.
Wang Xianzhi said, "They snatched a job from some Taoist priests. They looked at it and found it a bit tricky to handle. If they give up now, they'll be unwilling, and their peers will laugh at them."
"That's why they thought of you and specifically asked for your help."
"Did they mention the specific matter?" Zhao Yan asked.
Wang Xianzhi replied, "Yes, they said that Lingjing Village in Jiang City is being troubled by a water ghost. It's summer now, and several children bathing were dragged in and drowned by the water ghost."
"The water ghost in Lingjing Village is very rampant. Last summer, many children died. But strangely, this water ghost isn't looking for a substitute to reincarnate; it's just causing havoc."
"Last year, the villagers thought the children had accidentally drowned. But with so many children dying consecutively in the past two years, and after inviting them, they realized there was a water ghost causing trouble in the river."
"A water ghost?" Zhao Yan murmured softly.
If over a dozen Xuanmen disciples couldn't deal with the water ghost, then this water ghost must have some skill.
"I'm taking a day off today. Tell them to come back tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll go tell them now."
Wang Xianzhi turned and relayed the message to them.
Seeing that Zhao Yan had agreed, they were instantly relieved, nodded repeatedly, and their faces lit up with smiles.
Even when busy, she didn't forget to draw a few talismans.
After finishing them, she returned to her room to sleep.
The dozen or so young disciples woke up early and waited at the entrance of Zhao Yan's shop.
Wu Jiaxin, who woke up early to open the shop, was startled to see over a dozen people standing at the entrance.
"It's only seven o'clock, Sister Zhao isn't even awake yet," Wu Jiaxin said.
"It's fine, we can wait inside for Senior Zhao."
"Beautiful lady, this is the money we've collected. Please kindly pass it to Senior Zhao on our behalf. If you don't trust us, you can count it."
Looking at the money in the black bag, Wu Jiaxin picked up a money counting machine and began to check it with a whirring sound.
She had bought this money counting machine with her own salary. Back then, when some customers paid in cash, Zhao Yan didn't count it and just put it in the counter.
She felt it was necessary to buy one.
After counting, she nodded, "No amount is missing."
"Then please have a seat."
The dozen or so Xuanmen disciples immediately sat on the sofa, sitting up straight.
At eight o'clock, Zhao Yan woke up on time, did a set of random punches upstairs, and then went downstairs.
As soon as she reached the first floor, the dozen or so young men saw her and immediately stood up and bowed, "Greetings, Senior Zhao!"
Zhao Yan let out a sound, feeling as if she were a boss lady.
"No need to be so formal. You've come quite early."
Zhao Yan waved her hand, looked at the cups on the table, and had given everyone tea.
"Please sit down for a moment, I'll go wash my face and be right back."
"It's fine, we don't mind waiting."
Zhao Yan didn't say anything but finished her preparations as quickly as possible.
The moment she received the money, these people became her customers.
How could she let her customers wait like this?
After getting ready, Zhao Yan brought Hei Hu Jiangjun, and also brought Wu Jiaxin and Wang Xianzhi.
The dozen or so people took a bus ahead, while they followed behind in their car.
