8 List of Name's

Opening a company is crossed off and so is entering the entertainment industry and trying to become famous. Actors, singers, performers and other such professions take up a lot of time, have crazy and chaotic schedules, exposes you to the public eye and also like opening a company, there are people who would never allow her to go far and would even use the opportunity to completely destroy her image and reputation.

Also being at the center of attention will make it slightly harder for her life to become completely peaceful. When you become famous it's not just your career but also your private life that becomes public and even just going into the street without a disguise or mask can be troublesome for those top celebrities.

To summarize it, the best type of job for Jia Ling is one where she doesn't have to be overly public and also doesn't require extreme hard work in the long run only a few years of extreme hard work then easier and more simple work later on, at most. Even no work would be fine after a few years. Her main goal of an easy going life of just doing what ever she feels like doing isn't something that can be achieved without work after all. Somethings won't happen just because you wish for it.

Jia Ling walked towards the desk in her room and opened the drawer on the left hand side, taking a notebook out of it.

She opened the notebook ripped out the few used pages at the front and began to write a list of names on the first blank page.

Each name belongs to a person she either personally met or she watched from afar while she was without a body. Each person named on the list are completely different- different likes, dislikes, hobbies, professions and skills - the only thing that every single person on the list have in common is: they all are skilled and talented but their talents went to waste for various reasons.

At the top of the list is her first target, Bai Chang.

Bai Chang is a talented designer. Although his talent can't quite be said to be wasted, as almost all of his designs became both well-known and coveted by many in high society, while those lower ranked families and the common populace can only admire them from afar or through the TV or internet.

The reason Bai Chang is on her list despite his designs being recognized and yearned for by male and female, rich and poor alike, is simple - all his designs were passed off as someone else's, earning them fame while he stayed within the shadows; unrecognised and unnoticed. Due to his personal circumstances, Bai Chang kept working for a certain scheming man allowing him to pass his work off as his even though he knew he was likely being used- he didn't want to give up that last little bit of hope.

A knocking sound suddenly came from the door before it opened as Xiao Lian once again came in without waiting for a reply. Jia Ling was snapped out of her thoughts as she calmly closed the notebook before her and then turned to look towards Xiao Lian, avoiding arousing any suspicion or curiosity from Xiao Lian by being too hasty to close the notebook but also making sure she didn't accidentally see it.

Looking at Jia Ling with disdain and arrogance she gave a quick glance at the notebook on the desk, then continued to sweep a quick glance around the entire room before casting her gaze out the window, not even looking at Jia Ling as if she was too lazy to look at her or mabye she thought it was beneath her to look at this 'young miss' of the Jia family.

"The madam wishes to inform you, there is a family dinner with a close business associate and his family tomorrow night. You are required to be at the same restaurant you went to for your eldest brothers birthday last year at seven- half an hour before the guests arrive- you must not be late and most of all you must not lose face for the family. In other words, sit there quietly and don't speak unless spoken to first" she said arrogantly and then without looking at Jia Ling or confirming whether she heard and understood, Xiao Lian turned and directly left the room; her posture and stride showing her arrogance and self-confidence.

After hearing the door slam shut, Jia Ling turned her gaze towards the door before letting out a quiet sigh. She then picked up the notebook and opened it, briefly glancing over the list one final time before closing it again and placing it back in the drawer hiding it among other books, notebooks and paper. Sometimes hiding things in plain sight is more effective and draws less attention.

Once realizing she currently had nothing else she could do, Jia Ling walked towards the bathroom to take a shower, she couldn't help but look down at her soft milky skin and sigh, her skin looked so perfect compared to what it looked like after the accident. Even though she wasn't in her body after it happened she could still see the skin on her body which was covered in scrapes, cuts and bruises which later turned into scars, covering the once clear delicate skin.

Deciding to put those thoughts aside for now, Jia Ling got dressed, roughly dried her hair with a towel leaving it mostly wet and headed towards her bed thinking about her plans for tomorrow.

Bai Chang lives roughly two hours away, so the journey there and back will take around 4 hours. Jia Ling also needs to take him somewhere which will take about 2 hours, so it's best if she leaves early in the morning in case anything happens delaying her. After all it would be bad to miss the dinner at night.
