Chapter 11: The Invincible, Ultimate, Super Cute Pink Girl Group

The netizens were stirred into a frenzy, the entire screen flooded with [Pink Girls].

In the massive livestream room, with twenty million people watching online, everyone was spamming the same term. This alone showed just how deeply ingrained the popularity of "Pink Girls" was in the hearts of the public.

As they spammed the chat, their minds drifted back to the Pink Girls group that had debuted like a comet four years ago.

That was truly an incomparably brilliant and glorious era!

That year, Pink Girls released a single every month—twelve singles in total—and every single one was sent to the No. 1 spot on the monthly music charts.

A single song cost more than a full digital album, yet it sold even better than an album.

The songs playing on television were by Pink Girls; the screens in major commercial CBD centers played Pink Girls' stage performances; men, women, young, and old hummed their songs while walking down the street. Even the square-dancing aunties couldn't escape the "truth-is-fragrant" law, choreographing hot dances to the DJ versions of their tracks.

This girl group had infiltrated people's lives in every possible way.

And yet, they had conquered everyone with absolute talent.

Among them, Jin Li was recognized by the group's fans as the one with the weakest skills.

The reason was simple: Jin Li’s health was poor. She couldn't handle high-intensity stage performances, and she was often relegated to the back to "coast" during the second half of the choreography.

Because of this, fans jokingly dubbed Jin Li the "Half-Time Diva"—a diva for the first half of the stage, and a passerby for the second.

Only Jin Li’s fans could touch their hearts and say with a straight face that her professional ability was strong—super strong, the strongest in the industry.

When Jin Li said this, she didn't realize she had dropped a bombshell; she had simply informed her fans in a casual, friend-like tone.

And then, there was no "then."

After Jin Li finished informing everyone, she changed the subject: "Now it's study time. I'm going to start studying, you guys do whatever."

[Li-bao, what about that winning scratch card you got?]

[Li-bao, Li-bao, I want to enter the giveaway to rub off some of your luck!]

[Li-bao, can you teach us some more lottery-winning techniques?]

Netizens flooded the screen, but Jin Li was just that formidable. When she said she was going to put her head down and study, she did, switching the screen to her online course.

The netizens could only stare blankly at the online course while looking at Jin Li’s round head, which was bowed low...

Fortunately, Sui Lingfang was there to save the day. She didn't disturb Jin Li, entering the livestream as an assistant to post the necessary announcements and handle the giveaways.

Sui Lingfang thought that giving away a scratch card that had already been scratched and redeemed would be too stingy.

It’s better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Since Jin Li was famous for scratch-offs, why not just give away lottery tickets directly?

Thus, at the very top of Jin Li’s livestream page, this announcement was posted

[A draw will be held every half hour, giving away 100 scratch-offs each time. Among them, the winning scratch card Jin Li used will be given away randomly; there will be no separate draw for it. Let’s accompany Jin Li as she studies, fighting! ヾ(°°)!]

With that, the netizens who had wanted to change the channel twisted their butts back, sitting honestly in front of the screen to study along with Jin Li.

Who would turn their back on winning a prize?

No one could resist the temptation of winning!

The three hours of study time passed quickly. When the sun slanted to the west and a ray of golden light mischievously slipped through the window to shine on Jin Li’s cheek, it was already evening.

Jin Li stretched as usual, blinked at the screen, and gave a playful smile.

"Today's charging is complete. I'm ending the stream. You guys do whatever, I'm slipping away first."

The screen went black instantly.

[Hehe, Jin Li’s company still knows how to handle people. That half-hour window was too hard to catch, but later it changed to 100 cards every half hour, 10 cards every ten minutes.]

[I got ten!]

[I got a hundred cards + the scratch card Li-bao redeemed...]

[Don't run, upstairs! Quickly stick out your koi tail so I can touch it!]

Jin Li left the livestream room and walked to her manager's office, bumping into the company’s only second-tier starlet, He Yixuan, on the way.

He Yixuan greeted her respectfully: "Teacher Jin Li, hello."

Jin Li nodded at her, "Hello," and brushed past her.

There are many rules, big and small, in the entertainment industry, but it’s actually much the same in society.

Take seniority, for example. It exists not only in the entertainment industry but in every major company's workplace.

Some think that having worked longer makes you a senior; others think that having outstanding talent makes you a senior... Regardless of what others think, at Chenxi Entertainment, Jin Li’s status was such that even if she ran into other managers, they would have to turn around and affectionately call her "Teacher."

He Yixuan watched Jin Li’s back for a long time, a deep longing flashing in her eyes. This is what a first-tier star is.

Even if they’ve faded, they can make a comeback at any time and reach the peak of popularity!

Jin Li greeted Sister Fang and returned to her apartment under the escort of her bodyguards. She took ingredients out of the fridge and made herself a simple fried rice.

This body’s cooking skills were quite good; cooking had become muscle memory.

Even though Jin Li had never done it before, after practicing for just a week, she could make it look decent.

She made herself pineapple fried rice.

She had grabbed a few pieces of pre-cut pineapple from the front desk when she left the company in the evening.

After eating, Jin Li sprawled on the sofa, finally allowing herself to browse her phone for a while.

She didn't know until she looked, but she was shocked—how could she see news and videos about herself everywhere?

#How long until Pink Girls reunites#

Jin Li clicked in to watch. Many netizens were discussing her, as well as her teammates.

It wasn't the group's anniversary yet, but today the group fans were as happy as if it were the Lunar New Year.

Jin Li scrolled through the comments and discovered a fact she didn't want to admit, but had to

If the group were a wooden bucket, she was definitely the shortest plank.

She determined the group's lowest limit.

Therefore, for years, what the group fans worried about wasn't just the development of each member, but even more so, Jin Li’s health.

As long as Jin Li’s health didn't improve, there would never be a day for the group to reunite.

While she was scrolling through videos, her phone suddenly vibrated. It was a message from a WeChat group chat.

Lotus: [Heard Jin Li’s health is better?]

NANA: [!!! Really? I was so worried I’d see news about her being seriously ill online, I never dared to contact her QAQ]

Pearl: [I just heard from my manager, Jin Li is so lucky. She burned incense at a Taoist temple and scratched a card, and she won 200,000! Ahhh, let me touch her, I’ve felt so unlucky lately.]

Tongtong: [What? There’s gossip I don't know about? I’ve been filming from dawn to dusk lately, feeling like I’m going crazy. I’m going to go look.]

Tongtong: [Ahhh, I saw it. What kind of crazy luck is this, Jin Li? I’m so jealous!!!]

Mengmeng: [Bubbling up. I’m in a lawsuit with the company lately, so tired. I’m in talks with a new agency, and just as Jin Li made a comeback with this, I can actually negotiate better terms. Hands-on-hips-laughing.jpg]

Jin Li went through her impressions of her teammates in her mind.

Although outsiders always speculated that the members of Pink Girls were at odds, the truth was the opposite; the members had a very good relationship and were quite united.

They just didn't like to show it off to the world; they knew the warmth and coldness of their own situation.

Koi: [Bubbling up, checking in~]

Koi: [I don't change my name when I go, I don't change my surname when I sit. Jin Li has always been a koi (grinning)]
