Chapter 11: I Have A Dating Show On Hand
“Ji Ziyao: I have a dating show on hand. Are you interested?”
Xuan Xia stared at the message content, slowly a question mark popped up.
Daoist Master Qin’s divination shouldn’t count as fulfilled, right?
This was obviously the wrong message sent, right?
Xuan Xia walked back from the courtyard entrance and casually replied to the other party with a question mark.
Lawyer Fang smiled and asked, “Miss Xuan, has it come true?”
The mobile phone rang again, and the other party quickly replied with a message.
“Ji Ziyao: Group message. Mistake!”
Sure enough.
Xuan Xia shook her head with a smile, “No. It seems what the divination said wasn’t about walking out the courtyard gate.”
Lawyer Fang burst out laughing.
However, Lawyer Fang still wanted to vindicate Daoist Master Qin, “Daoist Master Qin’s divination is really accurate.”
Xuan Xia smiled and said nothing.
She believed it.
Anyway, she had already witnessed the accuracy in other aspects.
Just as she was about to put the mobile phone back in her pocket, unexpectedly the mobile phone rang again.
She had to take it out and look again; the message was still from Ji Ziyao.
“Ji Ziyao: My dear younger sister, is being a top student still fun? Really not planning to develop in the entertainment industry?”
Xuan Xia twitched the corner of her mouth slightly; every time Ji Ziyao called her dear younger sister, she felt this person was so sleazy.
But by blood, Ji Ziyao actually wasn’t wrong; they were indeed relatives.
It was just that relatives also have degrees of closeness, and Ji Ziyao’s family and hers were very distant and extremely estranged, the kind that wouldn’t even visit during New Year. Their only intersection was at other relatives’ wedding banquets or funerals.
She and Ji Ziyao had met a few years ago at a relative’s wedding banquet.
In Ji Ziyao’s words, he was struck by Xuan Xia at first sight and immediately struck up a conversation to exchange contact information.
After that, besides sending her group blessing messages during holidays, Ji Ziyao would occasionally harass her, asking if she wanted to develop in the entertainment industry.
At that time, Xuan Xia was just starting second year high school, had ended her rebellious phase, her new goal was to be a top student, determined to get into a prestigious university, and had no interest in the entertainment industry, so Ji Ziyao kept teasing her with “top student.”
But later, she slapped Ji Ziyao in the face with Jiang University’s admission letter and proved the term top student right.
Normally, Xuan Xia would definitely refuse outright, absolutely not giving Ji Ziyao a chance to babble more.
But now, she suddenly acknowledged Daoist Master Qin’s fortune telling skills.
So she typed a string of words and sent them: “Is that dating show of yours short on people and really tricky? Has it almost worried you bald?”
“Ji Ziyao: !!!”
“Ji Ziyao: Younger sister, can you do fortune telling?”
What fortune telling. Did he think a top student’s IQ was just for show?
Xuan Xia: “Can’t do fortune telling, but can deduce.”
“Ji Ziyao: Eager to learn, listening attentively.”
Xuan Xia sent the two words “group message.”
“Ji Ziyao: No way, just because it was a group message, you figured it out?”
This still didn’t count as fortune telling?
Xuan Xia was utterly speechless, doubting if Ji Ziyao was really an agent.
It was said that most artists’ resources had to be fought for by their agents; could he really get resources for the artists under him like this?
However, Xuan Xia still gave her explanation: “Your industry has always had more monks than porridge; if it wasn’t really no one available, would you expose the resources in your hand? Let alone group sending.”
Just like casting a net to catch fish, not particular at all.
This time, Ji Ziyao didn’t reply with a message.
Xuan Xia raised the corner of her mouth, not caring at all that she had chatted him to death this day.
Daoist Master Qin’s side had already packed up.
Lawyer Fang also brought out the formal contract drafted yesterday and called Xuan Xia over to sign.
Holding the formal contract, Xuan Xia still couldn’t believe Daoist Master Qin really agreed to “one yuan purchase,” huh?
But it seemed the other party really had no reservations, signing swiftly.
Instead, it made Xuan Xia, the one getting the bargain, seem overly cautious.
Xuan Xia quickly let go of the unnecessary caution and signed her name in her spot.
Once the official seal was stamped, the “one yuan purchase” contract was officially effective.
That dreamlike feeling came again.
–
After completing all the matters for this trip, Lawyer Fang conveniently had breakfast in the Taoist temple.
During breakfast, he couldn’t help but bring up the divination matter from earlier.
Uncle Zhong perked up upon hearing and actively joined the discussion, also vindicating Daoist Master Qin.
“Our young master’s divination skills were learned from Old Mr. Xuan.”
Mentioning Old Mr. Xuan, Xuan Xia’s great grandfather, Lawyer Fang and Uncle Zhong had even more to say.
Xuan Xia listened quietly on the side.
It was also emotional; clearly her great grandfather, yet she could only learn about him through others’ conversations.
Halfway through listening, the long-silent mobile phone suddenly rang again.
And it kept ringing continuously.
Xuan Xia had to glance over, and it turned out to still be this Ji Ziyao.
However, this time’s message made Xuan Xia go silent.
“Ji Ziyao: Sure enough, it’s my top student younger sister! Younger sister, interested in joining the dating show? I think you’re super suitable.”
Xuan Xia could even imagine this person’s fawning appearance.
“Ji Ziyao: Younger sister, think about it? You’re really suitable!”
“Ji Ziyao: More than suitable, perfectly suitable. Heaven’s chosen, you get it?”
Xuan Xia really couldn’t hold back and replied, “How am I suitable?”
The other party’s message came as if prepared in advance; as soon as Xuan Xia asked, the answer arrived.
“Ji Ziyao: Smart brain, rational, analytical, probably not a love brain.”
Reading the front part, Xuan Xia quite enjoyed it, feeling Ji Ziyao’s praise was spot on, but seeing the last sentence, she felt a bit guilty.
No, she used to be.
“Ji Ziyao: To be honest, it’s not that I really have no one to choose; I’m just really not reassured about those love brains going on the program. Don’t want them to act themselves into trouble during filming, and cause issues after the program.”
Ji Ziyao explained clearly, and Xuan Xia understood.
And you know, after Ji Ziyao put it this way, Xuan Xia suddenly felt a bit tempted, and an idea popped up in her mind.
It was an idea about future plans.
Last night, hadn’t she wanted to expand the Taoist temple and aspire to make it the “ancestral court of the world”?
Expanding the Taoist temple required money, right?
And definitely not a small amount.
Xuan Xia’s mind turned eighteen bends in an instant.
What ultimately shaped the idea was Ji Ziyao’s subsequent display of sincerity.
Ji Ziyao wasn’t persuading Xuan Xia for the first time, but this time it clearly had potential.
Afraid the messages weren’t clear enough, he quickly called Xuan Xia.
Once the call connected, it was a nonstop chatter.
He covered every aspect without sparing any.
If he kept chattering, Xuan Xia suspected he would veer off to talk about the universe’s origin and Pangu creating heaven and earth.
To avoid really hearing him talk about those, Xuan Xia agreed, responding with “okay.”
Ji Ziyao on the other end of the phone was first stunned, then excitedly shouted: “Younger sister! My younger sister! Trust me, choosing me, you won’t regret it!”
Ji Ziyao really hadn’t expected that just a mistaken group message could yield such an unexpected joy.
He was so happy he was practically jumping to the ceiling.
This feeling was just like his white moonlight pursued bitterly for eighteen years finally agreeing to him.
He never thought his old Ji could have this day!
However, even though Xuan Xia said she agreed, Ji Ziyao wasn’t reassured.
He hurriedly said: “No time like the present; come to Yanjing today, I’ll reimburse your flight ticket.”
“I’ll send you the electronic version of the contract in a bit; any questions just tell me directly, we can communicate details later too.”
“Don’t worry I’ll scam you. Really, our old established company, contracts are all uniform template contracts, everyone the same, no traps.”
After hearing this, Xuan Xia felt a bit troubled.
Hadn’t Daoist Master Qin said last night to have the scenic area check the surveillance? She also wanted to go along and see.
She really wanted to figure out who was trying to scare her.
“Next week okay?”
“No.” Ji Ziyao anxiously said: “Not next week, it’ll be too late next week.”
Ji Ziyao even planned her itinerary, “Come now, at latest finish in the afternoon, then back to school, no delay at all, right?”
Then he upped the ante: “Round trip flight tickets, I’ll fully reimburse!”
