The dishes came one after another.Braised pig trotters, pig's stomach with chicken, beer duck, crystal shrimp cakes, roasted lamb…Seven or eight meaty dishes were brought to the table.The chubby man looked at the feast and swallowed before he couldn't resist saying, "Sister, you really have a heavy taste."Jiang Changsui was so hungry that she couldn't hear anything but the food. Her eyes were full of hunger, and her gaze seemed to be glowing. When the dishes were served, she first took a bowl of hot chicken soup and, much to the chubby man's shock, drank it all in one go—grease and broth together—downing a whole bowl in a few gulps. The remaining chicken meat was shoved into her mouth, the bones chewed and spat out, and then she grabbed a pig's trotter and took a big bite. She ate so greedily, with oil dripping from her mouth.The chubby man, still in shock, blinked and looked again. In the blink of an eye, Jiang Changsui had devoured half the trotter, slurping out the marrow, the sound of sucking loud and satisfying. She went through five roasted oysters in no time, each one slurped down.The chubby man was amazed.As he watched, Jiang Changsui tore through half a roasted chicken.He couldn't help but ask, "Sister, are you a food vlogger?"That couldn't be right. He watched food vloggers every night before bed, but he'd never seen her before. With the way she ate, and looking that good, she'd surely be a rising star in the food vlogging world.Jiang Changsui was about 30% full by now and had regained a bit of her senses. She chewed on a chicken drumstick, swallowed it, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and then looked at him seriously, asking, "What's a food vlogger?"The chubby man explained to her what a food vlogger was.She blinked and asked, "Can you make money from that?""Definitely," the chubby man said. "With your looks, you'd be a sensation."Her eyes lit up when she heard that. Her whole face, previously dead and dull, suddenly came to life.His words still echoed in her ears, and she eagerly pressed, "How much?"He paused, then thought for a moment. "I'm not sure about the exact numbers, but if you make it to the top, you could make tens of thousands a month, at least."He then asked, "How old are you? Are you still in school?"Her eyes darkened briefly. "I'm nineteen. I'm not in school anymore."In another year, she'd be dead.But she didn't want to die.She needed money—lots of it.She then asked, "Are there any other ways to make money? I know how to catch ghosts, perform exorcisms, read fortunes, and even tell the future a little."She wiped the oil off her mouth and, with a polite smile, added, "But I'm not that good, not compared to my master."If Jiang Su were here, she would have rolled her eyes.Her disciple was a natural for this kind of work. She was born with a body that could communicate with the spirits, her eyes able to see and distinguish ghosts and demons. Not to mention, her face looked completely harmless, a perfect mix of innocent and deceptive—an ideal for this line of work. For this job, three parts of it were about true skill, and seven parts about having a good mouth.Chang Sui grew up in a temple, and after seeing so many people, her social skills were quite good.The chubby man froze, looking at Old Sun.Old Sun smiled kindly. "She's Jiang Su's disciple."The chubby man froze in shock.Jiang Su?He knew that name all too well. His father had mentioned it so many times—talking about how Jiang Su had saved him from certain death. He had grown up hearing those stories.When he was a child, he had always looked forward to meeting Jiang Su. But as he grew older, he started to doubt the stories—who could be so miraculous? Now, when his father brought her up, he just found it annoying.To his surprise, he hadn't met Jiang Su, but now he was meeting Jiang Su's disciple.His father had always spoken of Jiang Su like she was a goddess—beautiful and almost unreal.The chubby man looked at Chang Sui, wondering if this "sect" accepted disciples based on looks.He took a sip of wine and suddenly asked Chang Sui, "Are you interested in becoming a star?"Chang Sui blinked. "A star?"She had grown up in a temple.Apart from school, she spent all her time there. She didn't really know much about the outside world.Of course, there were televisions in the temple.But she was always busy—attending school, doing temple work, transcribing scriptures, and handling tasks her master gave her. Even when she rested, she had to get up early for morning prayers, so she rarely had time to watch TV. She had seen some celebrities on screen but didn't know their names.Her concept of "being a star" was quite basic.She asked, "Does it make money?"The chubby man got excited. "Of course! If you become popular, you'll never run out of money!"Chang Sui put down her chicken bone, her eyes gleaming with interest. "Then, how do I become a star?"He replied, "The most basic requirement is good looks."Chang Sui nodded without modesty. "Then I can do it."The chubby man was stunned. Was she really this confident?Old Sun chuckled, realizing that Chang Sui's confidence was just like her master's.After a meal filled with talk and food, Chang Sui was clearly interested. She wasn't worried about being deceived. If anyone tried, she had plenty of ways to take them down.If the entertainment industry was as profitable as the chubby man claimed, even if she didn't become a star, she could still find wealthy people to develop clients.At the end of the meal, the chubby man eyed her with suspicion. "Why do you need so much money? You don't owe a ton, do you?"Chang Sui smiled faintly. "I don't owe a lot, I just need a lot."He suddenly realized that after this meal, Chang Sui looked much better—she seemed to have more life in her.He felt a little uneasy—could it be that her earlier dead appearance was just because she was hungry?Looking at the empty table, with enough food for seven or eight people devoured by her, he was honestly shocked. He had seen food vloggers with large appetites, but this was something else....The chubby man, who had always been a bit overweight, had inherited the nickname "Little Fatty" from his dad. When he grew up, it naturally became "Fatty" for everyone.He was nearing thirty now and had worked in several industries. A few years ago, he joined an entertainment agency as a manager. He was quick-witted and knew how to handle people, so he was doing well. Last year, the artist he managed gained some fame by playing a supporting role in a popular online drama.The agency was doing fine, and he was planning to sign new talent. He didn't expect to find someone like Chang Sui so easily.The chubby man wasted no time and took her directly to the agency to meet the boss.Chang Sui's looks were undeniable. Even when not hungry, she had a certain presence. The boss, however, was curious when he heard her name."Jiang Chang Sui? Why that name?"The chubby man chuckled. "Long life, you know. It's a great name, very memorable."The boss agreed. "It's unique, for sure."After a quick interview, it was time to look at the contract.The chubby man reassured her, "Don't worry. Old Sun's like family to me. If he trusts you, I do too. This is the best deal you'll get for a newbie."The chubby man meant it. When he was younger, his parents were busy with their business, and his grandparents had passed away. He was taken care of by Old Sun, who treated him like his own grandchild. His father also owed Jiang Su his life, so he couldn't treat Chang Sui unfairly.Still, he couldn't shake the feeling that there was something about her that made him uneasy. He had a gut feeling that if he ever deceived her, things would go very badly for him.Chang Sui, trusting Old Sun's advice, signed the contract....Thus, Chang Sui became a signed artist with Le Wen Entertainment.Le Wen had been around for five years and had signed over thirty artists. Only eight remained. None of them were top-tier; most were rising stars, secondary roles, or extras like Chang Sui who hadn't even gotten a real chance to act yet.The contract was signed, and they went straight to take promotional photos. These photos would be sent to the business department to help with casting.Before the photoshoot, they needed to do her makeup
