Chapter 051 A Little Fame
…
Jisoo frowned when she heard the man's offer.
She did not know why but it sounds tempting to enter the entertainment industry as it does two things for her, gives her different kinds of emotions, and also more Reiki.
It was truly a good deal, but for some reason, she is also hesitating as something is bugging her about the entertainment industry.
In her previous world, women who enter such an industry are those that always practice some heretical cultivation method like dual cultivation and the likes. But not everyone is like that and there are those that just like to show their own skills in dancing and singing.
It gives them satisfaction and freedom, and it gives a boost to their emotion.
One such sect is the Heart Palm sect which is filled with male and female cultivators who use musical instruments, fans, ribbons, and laces, as weapons. Their cultivation style is the Dao of Heart in which the more people that watch and cheered for them, the higher their cultivation would become.
Their sect head is a beautiful woman named, Clara Lin… who is sought after by many men in the Talos continent, but none could have her.
She is a rare beauty and a talent that most women would want to have especially those that seek after a better Dao companion.
But a piece of devastating news was spread throughout the Talos Continent when the heartless, Furo, of the Black Ghost sect, attacked and fought with Clara. She was defeated and because her way of cultivation is the Dao of the heart, she was refined by Furo.
She knew this story because, at the moment when Clara was about to die, Jisoo arrived and fought with Furo. The brutal fight between them lasted for ten days and she separates his head from his body when he has already exhausted his Reiki.
Furo died, but Clara's cultivation was ruined because of this incident.
She became a normal person who lived a mortal life.
She did not stop entertaining people, and even though she is already a mortal, many cultivators would still visit and watch her show.
She even meets a sincere cultivator that did not bother with her mortal status and married her.
Clara died of old age, and her husband has loved her truly until her last breath.
This is the reason why she felt complicated when talking about the entertainment industry. In fact, she could have saved Clara and she could have retained her cultivation at that time if not for Jisoo making a logical choice.
If she fought with Furo with her life on the line, she could have ended that battle in just a few hours and then heal Clara with her ability. But instead, she took her time and did not think of others as she has no emotion or feelings about those things.
But now, she feels a pang of regret for what has happened.
When she looks at the calm man in front of her, Jisoo could not help but squint. Then an idea came to her mind.
"What is this all about…" she asks frankly.
Everyone in the room was silent and looks at Director Su.
"I… Umm… You see, I have a friend who needed a model for a commercial. If you do well in this commercial, I will give you a role in one of my upcoming projects…" he offered.
Jisoo nodded and did not ask anything anymore.
"This is his number and this is the place…" David Su gave Jisoo a letter.
He has prepared this letter in case he would meet a promising individual.
"Umm… Can I take someone with me?" Jisoo suddenly asked.
David Su frowned but did not say anything as Jisoo stooped him.
She dialed a number and then asked Anne to come to the office.
Anne enters the room with many eyes on her. This has caused her to blush and become timid. Jisoo drags her inside and then introduced her to David Su.
"Wait a minute… You're Anne Jing, right? One of the students majoring in Drama…" a middle-aged woman suddenly said as she recognized Anne.
She showed a smile on her face as she walks closer.
"Ah… I have had my eyes on you for a while now… In fact, I sent your name for the upcoming school play this year…" she said with a satisfied expression upon seeing Anne closely.
Anne showed a happy smile and nodded her head.
"Yes, I have always wanted to thank, teacher... for taking care of me… But I could not find you so I just left a note…" Anne said with an apologetic smile.
"Haha… I've seen the note and I actually just did my job… You deserve such a role." She said while patting Anne's shoulder.
David then looks at Anne and eyed her for a while. He nodded his head in satisfaction because he could feel that fresh feeling that Jisoo also exuded from the woman.
"Jisoo, are you saying that you are coming with this young lady?" David confirmed.
"Yes… She is my sister… Anne Jing."
When the group saw the closeness of the two they could not help but show a sweet smile on their faces.
David's heart skipped a beat as a concept was immediately formed in his mind. It was a scary thing when he just met the two women.
They look like angels from heaven pure and untainted by the world around them.
That day, Jisoo went home with Anne, feeling a bit satisfied with her gains.
…
Jisoo's treatment with Mrs. Tang ended that week and she has finally been cured of her illness. The test result sends a huge shock in the entire hospital making Jisoo very famous amongst the doctors especially those in the internal medicine department.
They wanted to know what kind of treatment did she give Mrs. Tang, and how she administer it.
Jisoo has long learned that this world does not keep such a secret, so she decided to share it after formally applying for the patent of the medicine using the authority of Director Pan and the mayor.
The reason why those two agree with supporting her is that... the patent of the medicine would actually help boost the popularity of the city and also of the hospital.
After doing such a thing, Jisoo is once again free.
She stayed at home as she would only work once a week at the hospital. Today, she decided to go out and stroll around the city. Her previous trip to Vie City Treasure Chest was a failure, she decided to visit that place today for a change of pace.
As she enters the building, two pair of eyes is already glued to her.
Arthur Tang has been in an office inside the Treasure House when he noticed that beautiful figure walking leisurely on the street outside.
He could not help but watch her enter the building and a smile crept on his face.
He has done his research on the woman and for some reason, he could not truly determine how she got her medical skills.
She was actually able to produce a permanent cure for diabetes which has baffled doctors for centuries now and could only produce suppressants of such a disease. In the end, living a life with such a disease is not that fulfilling.
Now he could see his aunt living a normal life with her previous lifeless appearance now showing liveliness and joy. It was truly a miracle.
He has also seen some of the videos that he got his hands on when she was in Vie Doctor's hospital. Her fight with the Song and San, and how she subdued them.
After learning of everything she did, he is now in awe of the woman to the point that he seems to be unable to forget that beautiful face of hers.
He could not deny the fact that he is attracted to her, but he did not want to admit such a thing too.
As the current head and helm of the Tang family big corporation, he did not want to admit the fact that a mere woman has attracted him. And this woman did not have the status that would make her worthy to be his partner.
Though he did not care about such a thing, he knew that his other family members would.
While watching the beauty before him, he could not help but think of his grandfather.
His grandfather, Bernard Tang, was inflicted with a strange disease. It has been many years now and they still could not find what kind of disease his grandfather has contracted.
The reason why he worked hard to get the company that his grandfather has worked so hard to put up and make it grow bigger is that he did not want to lose the legacy his grandfather left for them.
At that time, he felt helpless while looking at the pitiful grandfather.
Most of his greedy relatives advised him to get the company before the old man dies. This is just in case there is something in his last will.
But Arthur did not agree with them. He would not want to company in the hands of those greedy bastards, so he made a bold plan which his grandfather agrees.
He decided to approach Jisoo while she was paying for the things she bought in the antique jewelry section of the Treasure House.
"Hi, Miss Sung…" Arthur greeted with his usual gentle smile.
Jisoo was a bit taken aback but when she saw that it was that greeted her, she feel a slight delight in her heart.
She did not know why she felt such a thing towards a mere mortal, but she still like that feeling.
"Hello, Mr. Tang… I've been seeing you a lot lately…" she said with a slightly teasing smile.
"Hmm… This may be a coincidence or providence… Who knows…" Arthur stood calmly beside her.
"So what do I owe the pleasure?"
"Umm… Miss Sung… Would like to have lunch with me?" he asked calmly.
Jisoo calmly looks at him, but deep inside of her she felt confused. For some reason, when he asked her to have lunch with him, her heart actually skipped a beat.
