Careful, Breakup Fee Will Come Knocking At Your Door (Part 3)

"Miss Tian, are you really all right? Your eye circles are so dark that you can practically cosplay as a panda." In the dressing room, Feng Dongdong was very worried about his idol's condition, and reminded the makeup artist, “Use a better concealer, this one is not that good.”

The makeup artist complained while putting on makeup, “How do you cover it up? With this, at least we don’t need to apply more color for a smokey eye look.”

For Tian Jingzhi, all of their bickering sounded from afar, as if they were talking from across the river. She sat motionless, as if she had been sucked dry of her life essence by a demon in the movies.

The most popular section of the talk show "More than Beauty" was the live connection and interactive session. During this session, Tian Jingzhi was so awkward that she could only laugh like an idiot. Because one-third of the incoming calls were fans pronouncing their love to her, one-third were mocking her, and the last third were calls from prior two fighting each other

“Ah...Is it me? Is it really me? I'm looking for Tian Jingzhi, I'm looking for my idol!”

“Miss Tian, it's me, yesterday…”

“Sister Tian, I just want to make sure you really don’t want to consider me? If you propose to me, I will definitely not reject you...and my dad is…”

Halfway through the recording, the artists went backstage to touch up their makeup, and Tian Jingzhi was still sitting half-dead in front of the mirror.

There is an unknown monster at home and now she encounters weirdos on the show. Was it really all going downhill now?

Feng Dongdong pushed open the door of the dressing room and walked in with a dazed expression. Looking as if his soul had left the body, Tian Jingzhi suddenly became a little more energetic and sneered, "Can't you hear the voices of the listeners making fun of me on the phone? How could you let those people who have lost their minds talk on the show?"

“Miss Tian, I have been wronged!” Feng Dongdong froze before jumping on Tian Jingzhi for a hug and cried, “This was deliberately put in by the other assistant director. She’s the producer's cousin! And the producer just told me to cancel this segment of the program and that I will be fired because there was no need for two assistant directors!”

“Oh such a pity~! You lost your job because of the director’s cousin!”

“Miss Tian, I need to pay my rent in three days!”

Tian Jingzhi sighed, “It's a pity that I'm not your landlord, otherwise I'll definitely give you an extra day to pay your rent.”

Feng Dongdong continued to cry, “Miss Tian, Dongdong is sad. Because after today, Dongdong can not help serve you.” Seeing that she had no reaction, he pressed on, “I heard before you were still looking for an assistant. Two thousand dollars and thirty bags of instant ramen. Is that job still available?”

Tian Jingzhi looked at the nails she had done herself yesterday and took her to say, "You said it last time, that amount of money wasn’t enough even for a dog to live in this city."

Feng Dongdong wagged his tail, “It’s not enough for dogs, but definitely enough for me! I don't eat as much as dogs."

“But you also said that it was impossible to find someone who can stand my temper.”

“Miss Tian is so cute, how could anyone not want to be by your side? Just ask and many people will flock to you!”

Tian Jingzhi nodded, “Fine, then I will give you a chance to get this coveted job opportunity, but you have to answer two questions. If you pass, you can start work tomorrow. The first one question: if I and your mother both fell into the water, who would you save?”

Feng Dongdong quickly replied, “Of course to save you. If my mother falls into the water, my father will save her. During the wedding my mother asked my father this question and my father's answer at the time was: No matter what, whoever my mother falls into the water with, my father will always save my mother. So don’t worry, I will definitely rescue you.”

Tian Jingzhi clapped her hands in satisfaction, “The second question: if your dad and I fell into the water, who would you save first?”

Feng Dongdong looked at Tian Jingzhi vigilantly, “How come you are with my dad?”

“Perfect! Congrats, you passed! The first question was something that no man can escape from answering. And the second question, you were able to see past the essence and logicly answer. Amazing work. Now this is your one chance to ask a question from me. Go ahead, ask me anything.”

Feng Dongdong thought for a while before curiously asking, “Miss Tian, I never see you spend much money you earn from commercial endorsements, magazine shoots, shows, and filming for shoes or clothing or bags. So how come you always complain about not having enough money?” 

Tian Jingzhi looked around mysteriously, beckoned Feng Dongdong closer, and whispered, “As an assistant, I only tell you this once, actually I hired someone to dig a well..."

“Dig...dig a well?...” Feng Dongdong did not believe her one bit.

Tian Jingzhi then took out an already prepared document and red ink pad from her bag, “Okay, an early bird takes the word, Assistant Feng, I've printed the contract, just need you to press your fingerprints here.”

Feng Dongrong suddenly had an ominous premonition. He picked up the contract tremblingly, he could already see his bleak future, “Do you always carry a contract with you?”

“Of course it's because I'm thoughtful... Why are you so wishy-washy, just do it already!” Tian Jingzhi took his hand and pressed hard on the contract.

The urgent need for an assistant is due to her recent surge in popularity. Requests for her to be on interviews, shows, films, etc were increased threefold. A female artist like her, who was only a second tier artist on the verge of becoming a first-tier, usually tries to make headlines to attract more attention. So many female stars will have scandals with male stars, or have an accident in the show, in order to gain more views. If lucky, one can become popular overnight.

However Tian Jingzhi did not want this fame. She was already troubled by her recent popularity. She just wanted to save enough money to buy a store and leisurely be a lady boss. And then later franchise the store and become a first generation, wealthy socialite.
