What To Do If The System Forces You To Exercise

Recently, Zhao Ya had been searching for a person to become a spokesperson for her family's sports brand. Although their company could only be considered mid-tier, far below those of the major companies, they still wouldn't pick a random person! 

Looking at the person in front of them, it was another who wore heavy makeup and high heels. They were looking for someone who could promote their sports brand, not who could wear the most makeup. 

So far, 80% of the people she saw were like this. So, they had arranged for several pairs of sneakers to be prepared to test out their physical fitness. For some, they were okay, but for those with heavy makeup, the sweat would drip down and ruin their carefully made-up face. The result was disastrous and some of the more ill-tempered ones even blamed them for making things deliberately difficult and walked away in a huff. 

Those wearing heavy makeup won't do, but those will light makeup didn't meet their beauty standard and were rejected by the executives, saying they weren't attractive enough. As the planner, she was about to go crazy. Very soon, she would have to report back but with no person picked yet, what can she report back with? 

Shaking her head out of her thoughts she looked up as she walked past the university. She had come out to get some fresh air and unexpectedly arrived here. She saw students coming in and out with smiles on their faces, their eyes full of hope. Ah, I miss my university days, it seems I have gone old…just as she thought of this, a loud cheer suddenly sounded from somewhere inside, making Zhao Ya curious. 

As a university, there were no rules against strangers entering their gates. Other than the dorms and a few other places, most of the facilities can be visited by anybody. Of course, if the person disturbed the teaching or any other activities, they will naturally be 'invited' to leave. 

And since she did not come here to cause trouble, Zhao Ya walked in unhindered and arrived at the place where the cheering came from. Three basketball games were going on at the same time and the area was crowded, but the area with the most people was the middle court with 2-3 times the amount of people. Furthermore, the thunderous cheering was coming from there. 

Looking in from the outside, she couldn't see anything, she could only see the ball sometimes flying in the air. Seeing that ball make a smooth arc and the excitement from the crowd, one could tell how fierce the competition was inside. 

Zhao Ya walked up the stairs, stopped, and then decided she shouldn't join that excitement. After all, she was already in her thirties, why would a woman like her try to squeeze in with a crowd of young people? Besides, she was still wearing her high heels. 

Thinking like this, Zhao Ya decided to go back first. She still hasn't picked out a spokesperson yet, and running around outside wasn't going to help her. Might as well go back and look at the info she had.

And so, as soon as she turned around to go back down the stairs, she heard the cheering suddenly grow even more frantic. This caused Zhao Ya to turn her head and this time, she was on a higher platform, so she could see what was happening in the middle of the court. She could only see a beautiful girl wearing a blue jersey, her hair in a ponytail. With a graceful jump, the girl shot the ball with a perfect flick of her wrist. 

That sweaty face and those slightly damp clothes still could not hide the beauty and figure of that girl. Her entire body seemed to radiate some sort of light that made her the focus of everyone's attention. 

At that moment, Zhao Ya made up her mind. This girl is perfect. As long as she could get the girls' contact information, she could persuade…no, she will persuade the other party over! In her heart, as long as this girl became their spokesperson, then their sales will increase exponentially! In this world, there were plenty of beautiful women, but a woman with natural beauty was rare. How many beautiful women are beautiful because of makeup? Yet, when they removed it, one would get scared to death! It was like playing a face change at a Sichuan Opera! [1] But she was sure that this girl had a face that was all natural! 

She quickly took out a phone and took several photos. She checked them and then breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, her camera's technology was good, otherwise, she would feel sorry for the girl if she was unable to capture her beauty. She then entered a number into her phone and dialed,

"Hey, Little Lin, help me find out who that person is in the photos I just sent you. Alright, that's all, wait for me to get back. It's a bit noisy here so I'll be hanging up first."

Hanging up the phone, Zhao Ya crossed her arms and looked at the girl moving on the court with fiery eyes. The more and more she looked the more hungry she became. She really just wanted to pick up the girl and carry her back to her company. 

After the game finished, she looked at the girl one more time, searing her image in her memory, then she left in a hurry. 

The moment she returned to the company, Zhao Ya immediately felt everyone's eyes on her. She looked over at her secretary. Lin Youjia, Zhao Ya's secretary, is considered to be a very lively girl, which in other words she was a girl not yet polished by society. This type of person was what Zhao Ya liked because young people brought about this energy that motivated everyone to work harder and have a little fun despite the boring and rigid work. 

"Sister Zhao, how did you find this picture! This is a picture of one of my underclassmen from my school." Lin Youjia asked with excitement as she shook the phone. Hearing those words, Zhao Ya's eyes lit up.

"Little Lin, do you know her?" One of the colleagues near her asked, his face full of excitement. He was about the same age as Lin Youjia. 

"Hey, hey so it turns out our Little Lin knows this little beauty!"

"Little Lin, how mean of you! You knew this beautiful woman and still didn't introduce her to this brother."

"Go away, you already have a girlfriend, you unfaithful ghost!"

Looking at her team, Zhao Ya rolled her eyes, just where did she get these people? They were the ultimate definition of optimistic, even with the deadline approaching they could still laugh and joke. However, in the end, they were still able to hand in their work on time. She could only shrug her shoulders helplessly. It was better than working in an unhappy and strict workplace. If working was a painful experience, who would still come to work?

Zhao Ya patted Lin Youjia and asked,

"Little Lin, so she is…"

"Hahaha, Sister Zhao, I'm not sure if it's her because she changed a lot. I heard about her during my senior year and have seen her a few times. This underclassman is very beautiful. She has a quiet personality and her character is also very nice, except her body was….very frail." As Lin Youjia reached this last point, she felt a little hesitant because the person in the picture looked like one who would be fine even after a sweaty workout. 

Everyone glanced at each other, doubt in their eyes at her words. If such a person was in poor health, then the rest of them needed to go to the doctor. 

"What I said is true! You guys know that at my school there is a list ranking the most beautiful girls and handsome guys and she is ranked third. Her nickname is 'the sick beauty'. See, look." Lin Youjia said, swiping open her phone and showing them the list on the school forums. No one knew if the person who created it did it on purpose or not, but they had the before and after photos of Wen Jiexi added on there. This made Wen Jiexi the only person on there with two photos and her ranking was also moved to second place. 

"That face is so white and sickly, but they are the same person."

"But it's still beautiful." 

"The contrast between the before and after is huge, it looks like they could be twins."

"Yeah, yeah, I feel that it's more plausible if they're twins."

"I've heard that she only has one older brother but no sisters." Lin Youjia recalled and shook her head as everyone looked at her again. 

"Then they are the same person." Zhao Ya touched her chin, thinking for a moment before clapping her hands to capture the attention of those still whispering, 

"Alright, no matter what, she is our most important goal right now. We can only hope she'll agree to our proposal. After all, she is not someone from the entertainment circle, so the chance of her agreeing is not that high. So before we can convince her, everyone needs to continue searching for backup candidates. Three days, we have three days to make some sort of progress, understand?"

"Understood!" 

Seeing everyone gradually quieting down and devoting themselves to their work, she nodded her head. Although these people fooled around, when push comes to shove, they worked hard. She turned and asked Lin Youjia, 

"Little Lin, if there's any way you can get that girl's contact information, please call her first." In their line of work, it was common sense you couldn't just corner a person, otherwise the chance of being turned down would be even higher. 

"I think I can get it. I still have a lot of friends studying at the university. I'll go find them and ask. If I can't, I'll just go find a teacher instead. The school should have the student's basic information at least." Lin Youjia nodded, indicating she can do this, no problem. Zhao Ya felt assured that she can leave the job of contacting the other party to her. And so, she quickly left and called up the person in charge to inform them of the new development. 

In the evening, almost everyone in their department came. They all gathered into a private party room to eat, drink and drink some more. It could be said that this was the first time since they entered the university that almost everyone was gathered here for a meal. The power of the words 'treat everyone' was just too great. Not to mention, Li Lingmeng's had the power to rally large crowds from out of nowhere. She was quite a lively and loyal person, one that can become friends with everyone, so naturally everyone accepted her invitation. 

The entire room was loud and rambunctious. They even opened every bottle of wince and the room was full of the stench of alcohol. Wen Jiexi did not accept any drinks and refused everyone's invitation to drink. Wen Jiexi only ate some food and drank a cup of juice while talking to some other students who did not drink either. However, Dango was very excited by this party atmosphere, and it didn't matter that no one could see, Dango continued to jump excitedly around the room.

Wen Jiexi empathized with Dango's desire to be reborn as a human. If only the contractor could see Dango, then it must be lonely. For a lively and active spirit, it must be really painful to endure that loneliness. 

And like so, in this chaos carnival, three hours quickly passed. The entire group had the light stench of alcohol on their lips, but they didn't dare to drink too much. Otherwise, it will be a night of throwing up and they wouldn't be able to get up in the morning. Not only would they be tardy to class, they would also have to face very messy dorms. Just thinking about it would make one cry. So other than those who had drunk themselves silly and couldn't stop, most were still okay. 

Wen Jiexi was supporting someone who had drunk themselves silly. Li Lingmeng leaned against her, her face red as she stumbled around. With a bitter smile, Wen Jiexi refused other students' help and simply lifted Li Lingmeng and carried her on her back. Seeing this, Dango could only reluctantly follow them back to their dorms. 

Gently setting Li Lingmeng onto the bed, Wen Jiexi watched Li Lingmen quickly fall into a deep sleep. She shook her head helplessly. Li Lingmeng's drunken state was pretty tame. At least she wasn't one to vomit everywhere or go crazy from the wine. 

Wiping down the other person with a towel and changing their clothes, Wen Jiexi tucked Li Lingmeng in to make sure she wouldn't get a cold. 

"Jiexi, Jiexi, quickly look at your missions panel! There's a surprise! A surprise!" Dango yelled loudly, flying in wide circles around Wen Jiexi. 

"I know, I know." Wen Jiexi wiped her hands, but at the same time felt very excited in her heart, she had finally completed the monthly mission! 

Hugging her pillow, she sat on her bed. Just as she was about to open her panel….

Buzzz! Buzzz! Wen Jiexi's cell phone began to vibrate, She picked it up and looked at the screen. It was an unknown number. Who could it be? After thinking about it, she still decided to pick it up in the end. 

"Hello, who is this…"

"Hello, are you Miss Wen Jiexi?" A young female's voice sounded. 

"Yes, that's me." Wen Jiexi replied. She had never heard this unknown female's voice before. 

"Great. I'm Lin Youjia from HIOC. Because of a few reasons and other coincidences, we would like to sincerely invite you to be the spokesperson of our brand." The female voice said in a serious tone.

"….Huh?"
