Hua Yan is the youngest among them, so she was the one who washed dishes and did the rough jobs. The two older ones were responsible for managing the inside and outside of the house, respectively, but it hasn’t been decided who will be invited yet.

It’s a very healing show, allowing people to escape from the hustle and bustle of life. Especially since she is quite good at cooking and has experience in farming, even having lived on an island. Most importantly, the offered price is quite suitable—five million for a month of filming.

The preliminary schedule is from mid-March to mid-April, which is neither too cold nor too hot; a perfect time for an outing, so she directly called Zhou Zhou.

"I’ve accepted ’Healing Life.’"

"’Healing Life’ has two seasons a year, with another season in the latter half of the year. Your price is five million per season, and the contract is annual, not allowing any withdrawal in between. Are you sure?"

Hua Yan nodded without thinking, "Sure, I’ll go."

Without even knowing who the guests were, she agreed, proving her genuine liking for the show. Zhou Zhou didn’t say anything further and started to negotiate the contract with the other party.

Apart from this, there were programs like talent shows that invited her to be a guest or sit in the mentor’s chair to evaluate contestants’ musical skills. She didn’t even look at those programs and directly declined them.

Later, the recording company contacted Zhou Zhou without any delay, urging Hua Yan to come and record songs, but Zhou Zhou firmly refused.

They chose a record company that, during her low period, dared to take the risks when no one else sought her out. Although the company wasn’t big and might have been looking to save money, after detailed discussions, Zhou Zhou offered a seventy-thirty split in their favor. The production team at this company consisted of younger, trendier individuals, and he saw great potential in them, so Hua Yan switched to this new record company.

This new year, Hua Yan, Ning Hao, Ling Yao, and Molly spent it together. Molly went home for two days to visit her dad, and as for her mom, she didn’t bother since she’d be visiting them later in the year.

Ling Yao’s recent actions were quite excessive, but surprisingly, his fans didn’t unfollow him. Instead, they said they found a good role model. During the holiday, his fan count exceeded forty million, and Hua Yan, who had previously lost many followers, saw her numbers rise back to sixty million. Although still less than those with over eighty million, reaching sixty million in such a short time shows the frightening power of this traffic.

"You’re now a major star in our company. In the entertainment circle, after this incident, people will think twice before being jealous of you."

Ling Yao’s flattery made Hua Yan snort coldly, "Isn’t it all thanks to you? I’m afraid no one dares collaborate with you anymore; you’re too fierce!"

"Fierce? Bullying my woman right under my nose, do they think I’m blind? Not being in this circle doesn’t mean I lack power. Keep an eye out for any good scripts during the summer break, as I can’t fade out of this circle; otherwise, they’ll really think I’m an unreliable boyfriend!"

Hua Yan’s eyes lit up as she looked at him mischievously: "In recent years, adaptations have been trending. Do you want to star in one?"

Unexpectedly, Ling Yao’s lips curled into a smile as he glanced at her: "Why not? Liu Yang already told me there’s a good script, planning to cooperate with me. Brother Zhou is already on it, and if they can start filming in summer, I’ll definitely join. If it’s earlier, I can take a leave to return. As long as it solidifies my status and keeps my numbers up, I’ve no bottom line. I may not be better than you, but I certainly can’t let those detractors win!"

"Wow, I’m so touched, Yanyan. Look at how much Ling Yao adores you. His eyes sparkle like stars when he looks at you; shouldn’t you give him a title?"

Faced with Molly and Ning Hao’s teasing, Hua Yan remained unfazed: "No wonder you can drink together; since that’s the case, let me wish you a pleasant cooperation in advance. Just as well, I need to discuss my upcoming plans..."

Calmly changing the topic, Ling Yao felt a bit disappointed, but he knew he spent most of his time abroad and had no time for romance. Since the young lady was focused on her career, they would both work hard first; they’d always have time for romance later, wouldn’t they? 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

After the New Year, she shot a movie for over half a month. After sending off Ling Yao and the other three, she started focusing on writing lyrics and composing songs during her downtime without any filming commitments...
