The next day, Saturday.

Li Li, enjoying a rare day off at home, invited Lin Fan over to teach her piano.

Lin Fan reluctantly exchanged a Master Card prop and transformed into a piano maestro to instruct Li Li.

After all, he had shown off at the charity auction before, hadn’t he?

He hadn’t expected Li Li to be so serious about it, even having a piano ready at home.

But since the prop card was time-limited, after two hours he ended the lesson, citing the end of class time.

Any further practice would have to wait until tomorrow.

Li Li didn’t question it much, assuming he had something to attend to in the afternoon.

During lunch, however, Li Li suddenly suggested she could recommend a candidate for the fourth member of the Sweetheart Baby girl group.

“This girl is quite talented in acting and very intelligent. She acted in a scene with me before, and I was quite impressed. She just turned eighteen this year and got admitted to the Performing Arts Department of Modu Drama Academy…”

Li Li introduced the girl named Lin Mu, who had starred alongside Li Li in a film when she was fifteen. Lin Mu’s stunning looks earned her the media title of ‘Little Fairy’ at the time.

However, after debuting, Lin Mu chose not to continue acting immediately. Instead, she completed high school diligently and earned her place at Modu Drama Academy, ranking among the top students.

Moreover, Lin Mu often streamed on Doujin, amassing huge popularity. It was said that a top fan once tipped her twenty million yuan but still couldn’t get her contact information.

After hearing Li Li’s introduction, Lin Fan remained unmoved.

“Twenty million in tips and still no contact? Isn’t that a bit too aloof?”

“It’s not aloofness. She just doesn’t like socializing. Everyone knows the rich fans tipping lavishly have ulterior motives. Her family raised her well and don’t want her to fall into early romances. Besides, I know her mother, and I’ve acted with her before. She’s very self-aware and extremely talented. She might become a big star like me someday…”

Hearing this, Lin Fan raised his eyebrows.

Receiving praise from the top actress of Huayi was no small thing; Lin Mu must indeed be exceptional.

Afterwards, Li Li showed him clips of their acting together and pushed Lin Mu’s Doujin profile to him.

Watching Lin Mu’s daily clips, Lin Fan was utterly amazed.

Even the system gave her an extraordinarily high rating for looks.

---

【Name: Lin Mu】

【Age: 19】

【Weight: 44kg】

【Height: 167cm】

【Appearance Rating: 9.7】

【Purity: 100】

“I didn’t expect her looks to be this stunning. No wonder so many wealthy fans shower her with gifts!”

Lin Fan exclaimed. This was the first time he encountered a goddess-level beauty with such a high appearance score.

Of all the beauties he had met publicly, none had scored above 9.3, yet Lin Mu’s system rating was an astonishing 9.7.

He didn’t believe in perfect goddesses with a perfect score of 10—nothing in this world was flawless, much like the moon’s phases.

The highest beauty rating he thought possible was 9.9.

Yet Lin Mu’s 9.7 rating towered over everyone else, explaining why countless men coveted her.

But this also made Lin Fan think of something else.

“She’s so beautiful; she must have many suitors, right? I looked at her gift leaderboard, and the total tips from those rich fans must be nearly a hundred million…”

“Only half of that money actually goes to her, and she donates the other half. But which pretty girl isn’t a bit materialistic? If she weren’t, that would be odd,” Li Li rolled her eyes disdainfully.

She knew Lin Fan had a legitimate girlfriend and an ambiguous relationship with the girl group’s other three members. Changing the subject, she said, “Honestly, I really want to sign her to my studio, but since I’m in a semi-retired state, I can’t take her on for acting. So… I want her to join your girl group. How about you promote her?”

“Of course, no problem. Since Sister Li Li recommends her so highly, I’d be lucky just to have her,” Lin Fan agreed without hesitation.

Dealing with a big name like Li Li was already a great fortune.

Now, having found the missing fourth member of the girl group and earning Li Li’s strong endorsement, he saw no reason not to seize the opportunity.

Besides, he hoped to use Li Li as a stepping stone to connect with more entertainment industry elites and film companies.

With more connections, he could later promote the fourth member of the girl group into a superstar.

He believed investing in the entertainment industry had proportional costs and revenue, quick returns, and the added bonus of wooing girls, so he planned to enter the entertainment world eventually.

Other investments had long and uncertain returns. For example, the billion-yuan-level new energy tech company he was involved with was still at the project stage, with factory construction to be officially announced by year-end.

Returns on that would come only in some distant future.

But investing in movies and TV dramas was different. In three to four months, a film or drama could be shot and released within one or two months, with profit sharing starting six months later.

As long as the script wasn’t terrible, half of the big investments tended to break even.

He had calculated that if he invested three hundred million yuan in a film with Li Li, besides the system’s thirty million yuan rebate, assuming the box office matched the budget, he would receive fifteen percent of the investment share, making a tidy profit.

In other words, investing in film and television was a safe bet.

“Alright, I’ll introduce her to you later. But she has high standards. To make her like you, you might have to spend lavishly—more than with other girls…” Li Li said with a half-smile.

Lin Fan caught the underlying meaning.

Clearly, Li Li regarded Lin Mu as a little sister and wouldn’t allow Lin Fan to make any romantic moves.

“I love spending money on women, but you should check if she’s signed to any company. From what I saw on her Doujin, she seems to be contracted to Galaxy Entertainment.”

“I know that company. It ranks near the bottom among agencies and only signs minor stars. Since she’s new and not very famous, her contract is probably small. I could probably get her transferred just by mentioning it to someone at Galaxy.” Li Li reassured him, saying contract issues were minor; the key was how to convince Lin Mu to join the girl group.

After lunch, Lin Fan found an excuse to go to work.

In truth, he wanted to avoid Li Li pressing him to continue piano lessons, as he’d already used up the Master Card prop for the day and staying longer might reveal his ruse.

He merely took a quick tour around the company and, as usual, checked on the training progress of the three girls—Zhang Yichen, Qiao Xinxin, and Miao Tiantian—at Superstar Culture.

Unlike Zhang Yichen and Qiao Xinxin, Miao Tiantian was still a student and only came to Hangzhou on Fridays and weekends for training and live streaming, keeping her extremely busy.
