Morning Sound Agency

The monthly regular meeting is a time for artists of all sizes in the company to gather together.

Several young people who had just entered the industry for less than a year gathered together. Looking down from the corridor on the second floor of the company, they saw artists coming from other crews and apartments, dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, heading to the conference hall one after another.

Although Chenyin is only a medium-sized agency in the circle and has not produced a top-tier star in nearly ten years, those second- and third-tier artists who have participated in TV series and popular variety shows are the envy of these newcomers who only appear in eighteen-tier online variety shows.

"Alas, when can we get through this?"

"You should be content as long as you still have activities to run. The last role I played didn't even have 10 lines, but they paid me 10,000 yuan. I can't even pay the rent now!"

"Among all of us who signed up with the company at the same time, Lin Hu is the luckiest, right? I heard that she went to shoot the cover of 'QUEEN' last week."

"Tsk, all her resources are obtained by taking advantage of others' blood..."

A girl pouted and was interrupted by her companion before she could finish her words. She turned around and saw a young girl walking down the stairs.

It was the Linhu they had just mentioned.

Immediately, a group of young people put on smiles, surrounded him and started to greet him.

"Sister Lin, you are going to be a big star soon. You didn't even reply to the dinner party messages in the group."

"Long time no see, Lin Hu. Your resources seem to be booming recently. Do you have any job recommendations for me?"

The entertainment industry is such a snobbish place.

They may smile and call you a brother in front of you, but they may stab you in the back. They can easily tear apart the friendship that you have built up over several years just for a resource.

Lin Hu glanced at the girl who was embarrassed after being caught saying bad things about him, and felt indifferent.

Suddenly someone complimented him, "I heard from the grapevine that you are going to be in Director Liu's play. Lin Hu, don't forget your friend when you become famous!"

Her already bad mood suddenly became even worse.

At this moment, the noise on the first floor suddenly became louder, and everyone looked downstairs in the direction of the sound.

A young woman in casual clothes walked in from outside. She had indifferent features, black hair, and fair skin. She was so delicate and beautiful that one could not take their eyes away.

Many staff members around raised their mobile phones to take pictures of her and exclaimed in amazement.

It is Gu Zhisang;

She just stood there, as if there was a wall between her and everyone around her.

Several young people followed her into the elevator, and then they came to their senses, "Oh my god, she is so beautiful. This is the first time I have seen a real person with such a small face..."

Before he could finish his words, he stopped abruptly under the slightly strange looks from others.

Lin Hu said, "It is indeed beautiful."

She has always known that she is the kind of egoist who is most suitable for the entertainment industry.

She knew clearly that the reason Qian Zheng wanted to change roles and snatch resources was not because he wanted to promote herself, but simply because he wanted to kill Gu Zhisang.

But she wants to be famous, and she is the beneficiary. If she doesn't take these resources, they will be given to others, and it will offend the narrow-minded Qian Zheng;

So even though she felt a little guilty, she just accepted it all silently and tried to protect herself.

After attending the regular meeting today, Lin Hu knew that Qian Zheng's plan to replace the role that had been going on for a long time had failed.

At that moment, her mood was very complicated, with disappointment and unwillingness, but also a huge sense of relief.

Lin Hu thought that he was able to turn the situation around even when the whole network was blackening him. It was not unfair for him to lose to such a person.

Before entering the elevator, Gu Zhisang felt a rather complicated gaze staring at her, and she accurately caught sight of a girl in the crowd on the second floor.

After thinking for a moment, she asked in her mind, "Have I seen that person before?"

The system said angrily: "She is the Lin Hu who will snatch your resources, Sangsang!"

"Yeah..."

Gu Zhisang was a little surprised. She thought that the legendary Lin Hu would be an unreasonable person who hated her, just like the vicious female characters in those novels she read out of boredom.

She didn't take it to heart and came to the door of the conference room on the third floor.

After entering, Chen Yin's vice president and Qian Zheng, who had a gloomy and ugly expression, were sitting there.

Seeing her coming, the vice president immediately put on a smiling face and stood up to greet her, "Sangsang, long time no see, you seem to be getting better and better! Come and sit here."

Gu Zhisang did not refuse and sat directly on the stool, resting his chin on his fingertips with a casual expression: "What do you want me to do?"

Qian Zheng's face was distorted as he stared at Gu Zhisang, as if he wanted to stare a hole in her body.

The system muttered, "With that look, someone who didn't know would think you, Sister Sang, dug up his ancestral grave..."

This bit of hostility was nothing but scratching an itch for Gu Zhisang, who had seen the most vicious ghost.

She glanced at the thick gray and depressed look on Qian Zheng's face and said to the system:

"Using insidious means to harm others and taking shortcuts will inevitably backfire, not to mention that he is so suicidal that he places evil spirits in his own home for worship. His mind has long been affected and he must be unlucky during this period."

As she spoke, she glanced coldly at the purple baby ghost on Qian Zheng's shoulder.

The last time she saw this ghost in the hospital, she used some tricks to break the Buddha amulet that protected Qian Zheng.

Without the means to ward off evil, the evil thoughts and karma of the baby ghost began to erode the money and certificate.

Just as Gu Zhisang said, everything has been going wrong for him for the past half month.

First, the store he invested in was reported to have substandard hygiene and was ordered by the higher authorities to suspend business for rectification;

Then the stocks that he had bought with half of his fortune plummeted, and he lost a house in half a month. He had no resources to speak of in terms of business and was overtaken by other brokers.

I was so unlucky, but that damn Gu Zhisang actually made a comeback on a crappy variety show and was even thanked by the official.

The key point is that this program was arranged by myself for her!

This made Qian Zheng so uncomfortable that he couldn't even eat. He felt depressed whenever he saw Gu Zhisang's face.

I originally thought that I could ruin the resources for "Legend of the Floating Sea", but Director Liu had already agreed, but today he suddenly called the vice president and said that it was impossible to replace Gu Zhisang!

Seeing Gu Zhisang's reputation gradually improving and her popularity rising wildly, the higher-ups actually asked him to stop targeting her and apologize to her respectfully? !

Qian Zheng had a dark mind. He believed that Gu Zhisang either raised an evil creature or asked someone to change his luck. It was impossible for him to turn things around on his own.

Judging from her performance in "Spiritual Matters", it is obvious that someone taught her.

I have been taking care of this useless idiot for more than two years. If Gu Zhisang knew metaphysics, even a sow could climb a tree!

At this time, the vice president coughed lightly and began to play the emotional card, "Sangsang, you have been in our Chenyin for almost three years. When you were a newcomer, we discovered your potential and signed you into the company. Now your contract will expire in less than half a year. I have discussed with the company's top management to increase your salary and sign a better contract."

Gu Zhisang smiled, "Then the company's 'cultivation' over the past two years has given me the role resources. Should I be grateful for it?"

She knew from her original body's memory that Chen Yin was not someone who was so-called discovered and cultivated.

At that time, the original owner had just entered the entertainment industry and was deceived into participating in a talent show. She only wanted to become a big star and had no idea that she had signed the most demanding level of contract, commonly known as a "sale contract" in the circle.

The resources the company offers cannot be turned down, the personas it offers cannot be rejected, and if you want to leave you have to pay a sky-high penalty for breach of contract...

In the past two years, Chen Yin has completely disregarded his original reputation in the circle for the sake of traffic and popularity.

They didn't even give the original body time to recover from the injury on her forehead, and instead sent her to appear on a metaphysical variety show with a very bad reputation, in order to squeeze every last drop of blood out of her before the contract ended.

No one expected that she had a new soul inside her shell and could actually make a comeback on this show that was not favored by everyone in the circle.

Now, whenever the vice president goes out to socialize with others, they ask Gu Zhisang indirectly who wrote the script of "Spiritual Matters" in their company, and why it is so brilliant! ①

God knows the vice president also wants to ask this question!

Every time he could only perfunctorily avoid this question, and others thought he was hiding something and didn't want to reveal it.

Now Gu Zhisang's popularity has surpassed that of the most popular artist in the company. Many film and television scripts and variety show scripts have extended olive branches to her. It seems that she is about to become a big hit, but after that metaphysics variety show, her contract with the company will expire.

The boss ordered him to keep the person, so the vice president came with money and evidence to apologize to Gu Zhisang.

But from what she said, it was obvious that she was resentful towards the company.

The vice president pretended to be serious and said, "There were indeed some problems with our previous plan for you. We were very optimistic about your potential, but we didn't expect that some mistakes would be made when the people below were executing it. Qian Zheng, how can you be a manager? You can't even take care of the artists you manage. I think you don't want to do this anymore!"

Qian Zheng looked incredible, "Vice President..."

"Why don't you apologize to Sangsang!"

His expression twisted and changed several times.

Make myself bow my head and apologize to this bitch?!

It was obvious that the company supported the decision when it was first made, but now they want to please this bitch and push themselves, the old subordinate, out!

Qian Zheng's heart was filled with resentment and anger, and he wished he could slap the deputy general manager hard twice right now.

But he had worked hard to climb to the position of the top agent in the company, he couldn't let his efforts go to waste, he had to endure.

The veins on his neck bulged, and after a long while he lowered his head and said word by word, "I'm sorry."

In Gu Zhisang's eyes, this man with a twisted heart had been completely devoured by the ghost baby. Negative energy emanated from his body and he had become a puppet of resentment.

The vice president smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sangsang. The company will immediately assign you a new assistant and a nanny car, and arrange them for you according to the first-level contract treatment."

Gu Zhisang suddenly felt that this seemingly glamorous circle was quite boring.

She stood up with a cold look in her eyes, "I don't want these anymore. Change my agent first. He's an eyesore."

After saying that, she walked out of the meeting room.

The vice president and Qian Zheng were the only two people left in the conference room.

The vice president frowned and said, "Don't take her with you anymore. Qian Zheng, Qian Zheng, you have taken so many artists with you, but you made a mistake this time. If Gu Zhisang is willing to stay and renew the contract, it will be fine. If she changes jobs, you and I will have a hard time!"

Qian Zheng walked out of the meeting room in a daze with a gloomy look on his face. He felt physically tired and mentally exhausted.

He was thinking frantically in his mind about how to turn the situation around and how to take revenge on the vice president and Gu Zhisang. He had no idea that a baby ghost with purple bruises all over and dark hollow eyes was lying on his shoulder.

While laughing, she devoured the life in his body in big gulps.

With every bite he swallowed, his eyes became cloudy and dim.

Suddenly, the baby ghost seemed to realize something. It turned its head sharply and looked behind, meeting a pair of calm and dark eyes at the corner.

Its smiling face suddenly twisted, its swollen legs clamped Qian Zheng's neck, its upper body turned half a circle strangely and looked back, grinning at the owner of those eyes with its sharp mouth.

There were bursts of sharp baby cries, it was threatening and intimidating the other party.

The woman at the corner raised her face, her delicate features unclear in the shadows.

She suddenly raised one arm and spread out her slender fingers.

She pulled back suddenly, and it was clear that she grabbed a ball of air from a distance, but the baby ghost hanging on Qian Zheng's neck was sucked over by a huge force, and the neck was directly grabbed by the white palm.

system:!!

Before it could prepare itself mentally, it saw the baby ghost's hideous face covered with purple and black blood vessels enlarged before its eyes. When their eyes met, it was so frightened that its soul almost flew away.

"Boss Sang, if this happens again, tell me in advance... Let me close my eyes first QAQ"

Gu Zhisang: ...

"Little rubbish."

The baby ghost held in the palm struggled desperately, but could not break free from the seemingly soft and boneless palm.

It felt a strong pressure from the human woman in front of it, which made it very scared.

It opened its mouth and wanted to bite the back of Gu Zhisang's hand.

Gu Zhisang frowned and said, "If you dare to get your saliva on my hand, I will break your teeth one by one."

The baby ghost opened his mouth wide and uttered for a long while: "Hmm..."

To be honest, this ghost looks really ugly.

Compared to the last time I saw it in the hospital, it had grown a lot fatter and was even fatter than an ordinary human baby!

That's because without the suppression of the amulet, the baby ghost will not be consumed. Instead, it can continue to devour the vitality of the money certificate and naturally "grow" bigger.

Now his face was full of fat and blood vessels, which made Gu Zhisang frown with disgust.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and said coldly:

"Every wrong has its perpetrator. I did not release you from your restraints to allow you to do evil. I know that you are now capable of resisting Qian Zheng's binding spell and can stop helping him harm others. If you dare to devour the vitality of others again, I can set you free or beat you up."

Just relying on money to prove a person's anger, it is impossible to feed this baby ghost into this state. It must have swallowed other people's.

Perhaps it was because it devoured more energy, and it felt that it had become more capable, so its heart became wilder.

Gu Zhisang can understand the resentment in the hearts of ghosts who have experienced tragic events, and she can help them, but as the master of Xuanmen, she cannot tolerate these ghosts disrupting the order of the world of the living.

Feeling the pressure emanating from her soul, the baby ghost shrank its head and trembled, not daring to make a sound, looking very well-behaved.

As soon as Gu Zhisang let go, it quickly ran away, climbed onto Qian Zheng, who had already walked out of the company gate, and tightly wrapped around his neck.

After its figure disappeared, the system dared to stick its head out and asked in a low voice:

"Sangsang, since you can catch it, why don't you just release it and liberate it?"

"You don't understand. It has been made into a ghost, not just a ghost. If you don't get the shackles that imprison it, you can't send it into reincarnation through salvation."

Gu Zhisang said: "Qian Zheng can drive the baby ghost, so there must be a part of its body when it was alive, which was made into a torture instrument to restrain and control it. It had to harm people in the past because it couldn't disobey Qian Zheng. In addition, when it died, it was probably still an incomplete fetus and had no sense of morality. Even if I crush it, Qian Zheng will not be attacked."

"We have to wait a little longer and find a way to get the torture instrument, even if it's just a part of it. Qian Zheng has gone crazy, he won't stop and will definitely leave some traces. I have already left an internal force seed in the baby ghost's body, as long as it is driven, I will be able to sense it."

——

After the company's regular meeting, Lin Hu remained silent.

She felt that her current money and certificates were like a powder keg, on the verge of extreme mania and emotional instability, as if they would explode with the slightest touch.

As expected, Qian Zheng's gloomy and cloudy eyes turned to her, and he suddenly became furious:

"You useless piece of shit! I've given you so many resources, but you're still no match for that Gu Zhisang, useless piece of shit!"

Lin Hu closed his eyes, exhaled, and said nothing.

Qian Zheng was like an incompetent and angry loser. In the car, he cursed the company, then cursed Gu Zhisang, and then turned around and cursed several investors, partners and director Liu Jin.

After cursing, he gasped and suddenly calmed down.

Lin Hu had a bad feeling in his heart, and the next moment he heard Qian Zheng say grimly:

"You know that the CEO of X-style Group has always had a business contract with us, right? He is our company's largest contractor. The little star who is currently filming an idol drama in the company got the resources by hooking up with him. I know you are a smart person with ambition. As long as you listen to me, I guarantee that you will surpass that bitch Gu Zhisang and become a big star."

A chill rushed to her scalp and made her tongue stiff.

Lin Hu heard from the old people in the company gossiping that the boss of the group was a pervert who was indifferent to both men and women. Before, a powerless young artist had been sent to the hospital by him.

She always thought that such things were far away from her and that she could protect herself as long as she didn't stick out. But she never expected that such a thing would really happen to her.

There was a dead silence in the car. After a while, Lin Hu heard his own hoarse voice:

"Brother Qian, I don't want to go."

Qian Zheng's gaze suddenly turned cold when he looked at her, like a sticky poisonous snake.

A sneer sounded in the car, and Qian Zheng said, "Okay, you have a bottom line for yourself."

Lin Hu only felt his face burning, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

After returning to the apartment, she lay in bed, thinking about what happened during the day, until it was about seven in the evening when it got dark and the city lights were bright.

She suddenly received a call from Qian Zheng: "Come to xx place now, there is an emergency social event."

After hesitating for a long time, Lin Hu changed his clothes and went over.

Because she knew that she had already disobeyed Qian Zheng once today;

If I still fail to refuse, Qian Zheng, who is as narrow-minded as a needle tip, will definitely bear a grudge against me. I might even become the next Gu Zhisang.

Lin Hu didn't have the confidence that he could be like Gu Zhisang, who could seize the opportunity to get up after his reputation fell to the bottom after being suppressed repeatedly.

She suddenly felt like crying and began to regret agreeing to sign the contract with Qian Zheng.

When they arrived at the place and walked into the box, Lin Hu felt cold all over and his hands and feet were cold when he saw the fat and big-eared X-style boss sitting at the table.

Qian Zheng had a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold. "What are you standing there for? Come and pour some wine for Mr. X. We are here to discuss cooperation today."

Lin Hu was nervous the whole time. She only moved her chopsticks symbolically when she saw what Qian Zheng and the boss had eaten, and she didn't dare to eat anything else.

She forced a smile under the boss's smiling gaze and didn't even drink a glass of wine the whole time.

The boss was a little unhappy, "Brother Qian, your artists are being a little disrespectful."

Qian Zheng's face was grim, "Lin Hu, why don't you toast to the CEO?"

Lin Hu looked pale, his nails digging into the flesh of his palms, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Qian, I took allergy medicine today, I really can't drink at all."

"Humph!" The boss was so angry that he pushed the wine glass in his hand onto the table, stood up and walked out of the box, "I'm giving you face!"

At this time, Qian Zheng's face was so gloomy that ink seemed to drip out. Lin Hu felt cold all over and his teeth were trembling. "Sorry, Brother Qian, I really can't drink. I'm leaving first!"

She stood up, but felt dizzy and her soul seemed to have left her body. She watched herself fall back heavily onto the stool and lie flat on the table.

Lin Hu's face was filled with horror, not understanding what was going on.

She wanted to return to her body, but saw a baby covered in purple crawling out from behind Qian Zheng, rushing over and tightly wrapping its arms around her neck.

The x-style boss came back at some point, with a wicked smile on his face: "Brother Qian, you are still very capable. How did you do it? Please teach me some of your experience."

Qian Zheng: "If I tell Mr. X about my unique method, will I still have a seat at this table?"

"Haha, Brother Qian is really humorous. I'll have to trouble you to send him to my room."

Lin Hu wanted to call for help and scream, but she couldn't make a sound and could only helplessly watch her body being carried away.

The horrible baby clung to her tightly, giggling and eating something from her body.

In just a dozen minutes, she felt that even her soul had become fragile.

She was filled with despair and didn't know what was going on. But she becoming like this and the ghost baby must be related to Qian Zheng. She didn't dare to look at Mr. X who was gradually approaching her body.

Just when Lin Hu had already decided to jump off the roof of the hotel if she was humiliated, a cold air stream sprayed out from behind her and swept across the back of her neck while her soul was floating in the air, causing her to shiver violently.

The purple-blue baby that was clutching her neck tightly seemed to have seen something scary. It screamed in her ear and actually let go and tried to run away.

However, a white hand suddenly stretched out, grabbed the baby ghost's hind legs against the side of Lin Hu's soul's face, and pulled the terrified baby ghost back.

"Why are you running?"

A cold female voice sounded behind him, and Lin Hu's tears burst out instantly, as if he had heard the voice of an angel.

She turned her head and saw the 'angel', her eyes widened in shock at the other person's identity.

“Gu, Gu…”

Behind Gu Zhisang, the gate of hell opened wide, and a dark corridor connected to the underworld.

The soul-shaking yin energy continued to flow out from behind her, and against her jade-colored face and dark pupils, she looked as if a ghost had descended.

Half of her body was still in the ghost gate, and one hand was pinching the baby ghost's neck: "Didn't I say during the day that if you can't control yourself and help Qian Zheng do things, I will break you up."

Even though there were no eyeballs in the baby ghost's dark eye sockets, one could still see how frightened it was.

This time it opened its mouth to bite the woman's wrist, trying to bite it off and escape, but the next second the other party raised her other hand and grabbed its head.

Gu Zhisang looked puzzled: "Are you in a hurry to die?"

She tightened her fingertips and almost sank into the baby ghost's skull.

The powerful pressure squeezed the black veins on the baby ghost's face so that it could not close its mouth at all.

Then Gu Zhisang grabbed its head with one hand and broke the baby ghost's hacksaw-like teeth one by one.

Under the screams and cries of the baby, and the brutal scene of her gnashing her teeth with a cold face, Lin Hu, who was still crying, was frightened and hiccuped, and dared not cry anymore...

The author has something to say:

In the next chapter, we will solve the money certificate and start a new episode of metaphysics live broadcast~
