Huayu: I really am a genuine top star.

Chapter 54 An Indescribable Sense of Accomplishment

"But seriously," Xiong Rui lowered his voice, his expression one of someone who'd been there before, "Fang Ying may seem cold, but she's actually quite a good person. The fact that she's personally mentoring you shows she thinks highly of you. Train hard and don't let her down."

Shen Li felt that Xiong Rui's words were ambiguous, what did he mean by "don't let people down"... but she still nodded.

Although he was being tortured to the point of ecstasy, he knew in his heart that Fang Ying's teaching method of "cold-faced sharp tongue + hands-on approach" was more effective than any motivational quotes.

Every sarcastic remark hits the nail on the head, and every correction is precise and to the point.

Most importantly... they were genuinely teaching him, and I'll remember this kindness... oh, this favor.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, Shen Li carried her tray step by step like a disabled person. Her legs ached and trembled, she couldn't lift her arms, and even holding chopsticks was difficult.

Fang Ying sat opposite him, with a bowl of millet porridge, two boiled eggs, and a plate of stir-fried vegetables in front of her. She ate with exquisite elegance, a stark contrast to her image as a strict coach.

Seeing Shen Li's crippled state, Fang Ying smirked: "Eat more protein. Don't peel the eggs, just chew them."

Shen Li: "...Can you chew eggshells?"

"Calcium supplements."

"..."

Shen Li started peeling eggs. By the time she got to the third one, her fingers were trembling.

Fang Ying looked at him and suddenly asked, "I heard from Xiong Rui that you're going to work as an extra at the film studio?"

Shen Li nodded and briefly explained how Wu Yue had invited him to the group.

Fang Ying was silent for a moment, then put down her chopsticks and looked at Shen Li seriously: "The film studio is a mixed bag, with all sorts of people from all walks of life. Going there now is no different than a sheep entering a pack of wolves."

This is exactly what Wu Yue said.

"However," Fang Ying's tone shifted, a sharp glint in her eyes, "you're Xiong Rui's brother, and Wu Yue is willing to take you on, so you're one of us. In the film studio, martial arts circles are the most united. If anyone dares to bully you, just mention Wu Yue's name. If that still doesn't work…"

A cold smile curled at the corner of her lips. "Give me your name."

Shen Li was stunned. Holy crap? Is this woman really that bold?

"Sister Fang Ying, are you... quite famous in the film and television city?" he asked tentatively.

"It's alright." Fang Ying picked up her porridge, took a sip, and said, "Last year, there was an assistant director who tried to seduce a stuntwoman. I broke his arm. After that, nobody dared to mess with him."

She said this in such a flat tone, as if she were saying, "The weather is nice today." Shen Li felt a chill run down her spine, and at the same time, she felt a deep respect for her.

"Sister Fang Ying, you're like my own sister!" Shen Li immediately said with a sincere expression.

Fang Ying waved her hand: "Stop flattering. Remember, in the film studio, talk less, work more, and don't offend anyone. But if someone is blind..."

She looked up, her cold, beautiful eyes fixed on Shen Li. "Don't back down. If you back down even once, I'll have you wrapped around my little finger!"

Shen Li nodded emphatically.

After finishing her meal, Fang Ying got up and left. Her back view showed broad shoulders, a slim waist, and a shapely bottom; the muscle lines flowed smoothly and beautifully in the morning light, exuding power and explosiveness.

His two long, straight legs were slender and his steps were steady and powerful. His military boots made a crisp and clean sound as they hit the ground.

Shen Li watched her leave, silently updating the "Beijing Film Academy Fairy Encyclopedia" in her little notebook:

Fang Ying is a martial arts major with SSR+ combat skills and an SSR figure. She has a cold, sharp-tongued personality but is incredibly loyal. She has extensive connections in the film and television industry and can disarm people. Strategy: Behave like a younger brother, train diligently in physical fitness, and never provoke her.

At 9:00 AM, the Marxist Philosophy class began.

Shen Li dragged her battered body into Room 301 of Building 3.

The lecture hall was already packed with people... The acting, broadcasting, and directing departments were combined into one class, creating a chaotic and diverse scene.

He found a seat towards the back, ready to begin his "tasting mission" for the day.

Last week, he helped six people take attendance and made a net profit of 300 yuan. Having tasted success, he further expanded his business this week... Of course, he had to learn from the lesson of almost failing last time.

I prepared my gear in advance: a black baseball cap, a pair of non-prescription glasses, and a plaid shirt that was completely different from my usual style.

He put on a hat and glasses, changed into a plaid shirt, and looked at himself in front of his phone's camera... well, even his remarried mother might not recognize him at first glance.

The current customer list has also been updated.

In addition to the six existing clients from last week, we now have four new clients, making a total of ten people.

Shen Li noted down their names, the last digits of their student ID numbers, and their voice characteristics in a memo, and even designed a "voice-changing plan" for herself:

Jing Yang… lowered his voice, with a slight bubbly tone. Yang Yi… emphasized his nasal tone, sounding honest and simple.

Client A (female)... This one was the most difficult; she had to imitate a female voice in a strained tone. Shen Li practiced for two days specifically for this, and the result... well, it was barely passable.

The teacher came in. It was the same middle-aged man with thick glasses as last time, his hair was a little bald, and he was holding a roster in his hand.

"Now, let's take attendance."

Shen Li took a deep breath and entered "substitute mode".

The first few clients passed smoothly. Each time he raised his hand, he would change his voice and posture, striving to present a "thousand faces" for each person. The teacher would glance up, then look down and tick the box, without arousing any suspicion.

When it was customer A's (female) turn, Shen Li pinched his throat and called out "Here" in a high-pitched, delicate voice. The moment the voice came out, he got goosebumps all over his body.

The teacher looked up, his brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly. He stared at Shen Li for several seconds, his eyes filled with confusion.

Shen Li's heart raced, but her expression remained unchanged. She turned slightly to the side, letting the brim of her hat cover half her face, pretending to take notes in her notebook, looking like a "good student."

The teacher was probably confused by his "disguise" and "voice change," shook his head, and put a checkmark on the roster.

Milk powder! Passed!

Shen Li breathed a sigh of relief. All ten customers had been fooled. Five hundred yuan in hand!

He smugly calculated in his mind: this business is much more lucrative than running a "flash delivery" service.

With two large Marxist theory classes a week, plus other combined classes, I can earn two to three thousand a month just by taking attendance.

If we add "Lili Run" and extras in film studios in the future... well, economic independence... oh no, the dawn of getting rich is just ahead!

He was feeling quite pleased with himself when his phone vibrated. He pulled it out and saw a message from Dai Xiao in the 512 dormitory group chat:

"Lilipao V0.9 beta version has been deployed. Link: http://lilipao.test. Please have the three co-founders try it out and report any bugs."

Below is a screenshot... The homepage of the mini-program has a light blue background, a simple button layout, and the slogan personally designed by Shen Li printed in the center: "Your needs, I will meet them."

Jing Yang replied instantly: "Holy crap, Xiao Ge is awesome!!! This interface, this color scheme, this slogan, it's amazing!!!"

Yang Yi replied, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Xiao! I'll test it right away!"

Shen Li clicked on the link and looked at the simple yet fully functional mini-program interface, feeling an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

This is the very beginning of his "business empire"!
