“That’s it,” Pan Jingjing closed the menu and handed it to the waiter.

The waiter graciously said, “Tonight is our restaurant’s anniversary celebration. If both of your Weibo posts receive more than 99 likes, your meals will be on the house. At 7:30, we’ll also be holding a lucky draw event, with the grand prize being a Maldives trip for two. Wish you both everlasting happiness.”

Pan Jingjing was delighted. It couldn’t be easier for her.

Pan Jingjing took a break to scroll through her Weibo, then suddenly frowned and placed her phone face down on the table.

Girlishly twirling her voice, Pan Jingjing said, “A-Jie, Chanel just released a new bag that looks amazing. Can you come with me to the store later and take a look, please?”

Her bestie was showing off her new bags on Weibo, and Pan Jingjing couldn’t be outdone.

Whenever she spoke like that, He Maojie would usually playfully touch her nose and say, “Sure, we’ll buy whatever you like.”

Once at the store, they would buy everything she liked, and the envious looks from the salespersons were always so satisfying.

However, He Maojie seemed a bit preoccupied today and said impatiently, “Didn’t we just buy one last week? How can you be buying another? How many hands do you have? Can you even carry all of them?”

Pouting, Pan Jingjing said, “It’s just one more bag. If you don’t want to buy it, fine. I’ll buy it myself later.”

He Maojie didn’t say anything, leaving Pan Jingjing quite upset.

Men can be so uncooperative.

But now was not the time to argue with him, so Pan Jingjing held her tongue.

“A-Jie, did you schedule the Feiyue Magazine shoot I mentioned before?”

Feiyue is a top-tier domestic magazine usually reserved for popular celebrities or supermodels. An influencer like Pan Jingjing couldn’t qualify without a very strong background.

Pan Jingjing had heard through the grapevine that the next issue of Feiyue Magazine would feature Qu Feitai on the cover. Knowing that He Maojie’s company was discussing advertising with Feiyue Magazine, she had a lightbulb moment and asked him to get her in through the back door.

The issue with Qu Feitai was bound to be a hit. Even if she could only squeeze into a half-page column inside, her presence in the magazine would make her the envy of other influencers. And she could also gain some exposure and a surge in fans by latching onto Qu Feitai’s popularity.

At the time, their relationship was quite sweet, so He Maojie had agreed without hesitation, even securing her a column and an exclusive interview.

Pan Jingjing was over the moon. This was the treatment usually reserved for celebrities, and she had always wanted to transition into that realm. However, the divide between celebrities and influencers was vast, so this was difficult to achieve.

This was an excellent opportunity for her. She could buy some online traffic, ride the coattails of Qu Feitai’s popularity, and then have He Maojie spend some money to get her into an acting gig. A quick boost from her online army, and she’d successfully transition into the limelight.

She didn’t want to be an influencer forever, so she had to seize this chance to create more opportunities for herself, especially since He Maojie had a habit of changing his tastes.

He Maojie said, “It’s almost settled. I’ll forward you the contact’s WeChat later. Just get in touch with them.”

Elated, Pan Jingjing took out her phone and said, “Why not just send it to me now? The sooner, the better.”

She had already forgotten their earlier argument. After all, tangible success was the most real thing.

He Maojie sent her a WeChat contact, which Pan Jingjing added enthusiastically. She quickly labeled herself as He Maojie’s girlfriend, and her request was accepted right away.

That person was quite warm and friendly. They had a pleasant chat and agreed on an interview date. Pan Jingjing’s spirits were lifted, and she no longer cared about their previous disagreement.

Soon enough, their dishes began to arrive. Pan Jingjing took a picture of the table full of delicious food and posted it on Weibo, along with three selfies taken from different angles. She heavily edited her appearance, making her chin appear sharp enough to pierce the screen.

But there were many fans who liked this style. It created an air of high-society living that many regular people, who were struggling to make ends meet, found alluring. They instinctively sought to emulate and follow the lavish lifestyle of these so-called “young ladies.” Pan Jingjing enjoyed this feeling, seeing the fans showering her with compliments in the comments section while she contentedly put down her phone.

To lay the groundwork, she had live-streamed Qu Feitai’s concert a few days ago and had captured many new fans in the process. The hype around her was currently at its peak.

“You start eating. I need to go to the restroom,” Pan Jingjing said cheerfully, humming a tune as she left their booth.

Suddenly, the music changed, the piano melody becoming brighter with a hint of softness, offering a refreshing change.

Pan Jingjing stopped in her tracks. “Isn’t this Qu Feitai’s new song, ‘Elegy in White’?”

The piano intro started playing, followed by Qu Feitai’s singing, filling every corner of the restaurant..
