Chapter 23 Take it for yourself
Jiang Wan slowly lowered his eyes, and this actually made him feel like joking.
[Reluctantly? Don't you like calling you that? Sad...]
Such a tone made even Jiang Wan feel like the aroma of tea was spreading everywhere, but there was nothing he could do. It seemed that someone was quite fond of it and he responded very quickly this time.
【I'm lying to you. I like it.】
The moment he saw the message, Jiang Wan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips.
But of course she also knows what it means to quit while you are ahead.
[As long as you like it, it’s getting late and I’m a little sleepy, so I’ll go to bed first. ]
【Good night, Xu Ge. 】
Jiang Xu's eyes were not calm. After a moment, he lightly tapped his fingertips and typed two words.
【Good night. 】

The next day, before dawn, Jiang Wan was awakened by a sudden voice in his mind.
Her thick, curled eyelashes trembled slightly. After a few seconds, she opened her eyes and slowly sat up, trying to determine whether what she had just heard was a dream or reality.
Fortunately, after holding my breath for a moment, the not-so-strange mechanical sound rang out again.
"Congratulations, Jiang Wan, your likeability has successfully reached 5%. From now on, every time your likeability changes by 5%, I will inform you in this way.
I need to remind you that the higher your base value is, the harder it will be to change, and the difficulty will only increase exponentially."
Jiang Guan's eyelashes trembled heavily, and she recognized that it was the voice of 0366.
Of course there are differences. This voice has an extremely flat tone, without any emotion at all.
After the last word was uttered, the surroundings returned to normal in an instant, leaving Jiang Wan no chance to ask any further questions.
Jiang Wan's eyes darkened slightly, and he fell into deep thought.
After last night’s live broadcast, her followers on Weibo increased by over 110,000, and her followers on the live broadcast platform increased to 190,000, which is why there was a 5 percent change in her likeability score.
But it's only 5 percent.
It sounds like this is a threshold and it will only get harder from now on.
This means that in addition to continuing to gain the favor of ordinary people, she may need to find a way to contact people who have greater influence in the world plot as soon as possible.
The likes contributed by these people will be higher.
After all, once the story officially begins, if she doesn't have enough likeability points to support her in gaining enough aura of the protagonist, and is affected by the plot line, many things may not go as smoothly as they do now.
Of course, maybe the people she is in contact with now are already people who have a great influence on the plot.
Unfortunately, she couldn't get to the bottom of it for now.
After calming down for a while, Jiang Wan slowly got up and got out of bed.
When I finished washing up and turned on my phone, it was not yet six in the morning.
But in the chat box with Sister Xi in mind, Yu sent an unread message more than ten minutes ago.
[Wanwan, I have secured an extra reception spot for the Linqi Villa auction. If you are sure you have time today, you can come and try.]
I still feel soft-hearted...
Jiang Wan's pink fingertips rubbed the edge of the phone for a while before he sighed softly and typed out a sentence.
【Okay, thank you Sister Xi. 】
Yin Xi was a senior whom she met when she was working as a golf receptionist in her previous life. At that time, the other party was a reception manager and was very caring towards her. She was one of the few people who would occasionally ask about each other's recent situation even when Jiang Wan later returned to Rong City.
Jiang Wan still remembers that Yin Xi mentioned several times that she was once the head of a conference reception studio, but later felt too tired and handed over the studio to a friend.
The other party also said that he had a liking for her when he first saw her photo, and he was quite frank in admitting that this liking was not due to anything else, but simply because she had a face that was too irresistible.
Otherwise, he would not have been willing to give her an interview opportunity after her senior schoolmate vaguely mentioned her background of being expelled from Kyoto University.
The reason why she was able to pay off her debts so quickly was indeed because Yin Xi had made connections several times, allowing her to frequently do etiquette reception work in some well-paid events.
Because of this, Jiang Wan can still remember Yin Xi's cell phone number very clearly until now.
After she tried to add it, she was lucky enough to find that this senior had already started using this number.
The other party was obviously used to girls adding her as a friend. Jiang Wan even just said that it was the contact information given by the senior. Yin Xi didn't even ask who the senior was and directly asked for her resume.
Half an hour later, Yin Xi replied to her: [You are very beautiful, and you will be a top student at Beijing University in the future, and you have a bright future. Under this premise, I don't recommend you to get in touch with this aspect.
Although these are all formal activities, being too beautiful is sometimes not a good thing. 】
Jiang Wan was not surprised by this answer, and he knew that the other party was speaking from the heart.
After nearly two years of getting along, she knew very well that Yin Xi was originally such a person, soft-hearted, worried, and had no resistance to people she thought were beautiful.
Jiang Wan didn't explain anything else, just replied that he was indeed short of money, especially in recent days. Yin Xi didn't ask any more questions and didn't send a message until a long time later.
[There is indeed an auction in Beijing in two days, and our studio needs a spot, but an auction of this level, which is extremely private, cannot tolerate the slightest mistake, so we will not use inexperienced newcomers, and we are only allowed to bring two backup receptionists.
I will let you know if there is another suitable job in a couple of days. 】
Jiang Wan certainly understood the reason behind this, so although she did want to take this opportunity to meet her nominal father, it was just an idea.
She wouldn't be too disappointed if she couldn't go.
After all, when the plot line begins, even if she doesn't want to see him, I'm afraid the other party will come to her on his own initiative.
But now that Sister Xi has secured a spot for her, Jiang Wan is willing to go even if it is just as a backup.
Maybe... there might be some other unexpected gains.

Linqi Villa is located in the western suburbs of Beijing, surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is only open to people of noble status and is extremely hidden.
It was almost half past seven when Jiang Wan arrived with Yin Xi and others whom he had just met.
Although this private auction will not officially start until 10 o'clock, the distinguished guests will arrive at 9 o'clock, so there is not much time.
However, Yin Xi obviously had enough ability and experience, so this kind of situation was not difficult for her to deal with, and she quickly arranged everything.
During this period, Yin Xi kept Jiang Wan by her side almost the entire time, and only after she had explained everything did she take her to a separate lounge.
In fact, it was only at this moment that Yin Xi finally had some free time to take a good look at the person in front of her, who was so beautiful that she couldn't find the right words to describe him.
In order to fit in with the theme of the auction, the reception attire was a specially customized dark blue Suzhou embroidered thin silk cheongsam. Everyone was wearing the same attire, and the receptionists' looks and figures were all eye-catching.
But among so many beauties, Jiang Wan can still give people a strong visual impact at first sight.
This impact is so direct that it does not need any interpretation or explanation, it is just beautiful.
One kind... Once the person with ulterior motives confirms that she has no support to protect her from the wind and rain, he will uncontrollably want to pick her away and finally try to possess her beauty for himself.
