Pampered by My Ex's Cousin

Chapter 462 - 454 Transformation (Part 17)

"Mr. Li Si had some leads initially, but now he has suddenly gone silent," she said. "I received news today that Wan Yueyue is still the spokesperson for the new season."

Hearing this, Ji Anning was also baffled. The matter of the spokesperson had just begun, and now it was dropped. As for the micro-film "In the Name of Beauty", the contract was almost signed; how could there be a problem?

Wang Zhuoling paused, looked at Ji Anning, and then sighed, "Hey, don’t be too disheartened. It’s just the beginning; it’s not going to be easy. In a while, there will be a charity auction for celebrities, and I will take you there to meet some people."

She patted Ji Anning on the shoulder, encouraging her, "You are the most talented female artist I have managed; gold is meant to shine."

She knew every path was difficult, and as much as she said it, she understood it too.

But this was still a blow to her, she didn’t understand where things had gone wrong.

Perhaps she didn’t quite understand this circle, no... it wasn’t that she didn’t understand, it was that she hardly knew anything about it.

She had blindly walked into this, just removed her shoes and was rippling at the edge; she didn’t know how deep the water was.

Ji Anning was not someone who obsessed over problems, when she couldn’t understand, she simply stopped thinking about it.

Previously, Wang Zhuoling had arranged a very full schedule of social engagements for her, but that had also abruptly ceased, telling her to wait for her message.

She had applied for a year’s leave from school, and now, staying at home, she was so bored she could mold.

Her daily routine was just to eat and drink water, and somehow, she seemed unable to get enough sleep. Having just eaten breakfast, she picked up a book and sat on the balcony, soon starting to yawn incessantly.

She couldn’t absorb a single word from the book.

She simply closed it, looked up at the window, where the sunlight was bright, and she stretched lazily.

Then, she subconsciously touched her stomach, only three months along, her lower abdomen still looked flat, only by gently stroking her hand over it could she feel a slight bump.

She tilted her head back, gently closed her eyes, a slight tender smile playing at the corners of her mouth.

Her fingers on her lower abdomen, rhythmically tapping as if playing the piano.

Baby, please, you must be healthy, you must be.

She hadn’t gone out for an entire week, her only outdoor activity being a nightly stroll in the exercise area downstairs after dinner. At last, during the weekend, Jin Yuanyuan dragged her out.

It was to accompany her to a debate contest between T University and another school; Jin Yuanyuan went just to listen.

A senior from their society was participating, and their entire society went to support him.

Hoping not to run into anyone from T University, Ji Anning had initially refused, but couldn’t withstand Jin Yuanyuan’s persistent pleas, so she agreed.

She arrived at the venue and sat in a corner, an unobtrusive spot, wearing a baseball cap, quietly listening. Initially not interested, as the debate heated up, she found herself getting excited too.

The opponents were from a law-focused school, each of them already renowned orators even before leaving school.

The outcome of this debate was never in doubt; T University lost.

The winning side left with laughs and jokes, offering condolences to T University’s team, encouraging them not to be disheartened and to fight again next time.

That really got T University’s people riled up.

"What nonsense."

"Exactly, what’s so great about that? They had a debating background; it’s no big deal that they won."

Just then, someone who had been on the phone approached the crowd,
