Chapter 3 Boss, here's a giant paper cake for you.

"If you participate, you'll get a fixed salary every month, bonuses if you advance, and you can make a lot of money if you successfully debut!" the manager told her again.

"..."

Yun Shu also wanted to earn more money to pay off the original owner's debts, but she really didn't have any talents. How could she possibly advance in this kind of variety show? She might as well make money by telling fortunes for others.

Her agent patted her on the shoulder and told her, "Prepare your talent these days. If you don't have one, just learn it. As long as you can perform on stage during the auditions, that's fine."

"Then I'll give it a try."

When Yun Shu got home, she racked her brains for a long time but couldn't figure out what talent she could perform. In the end, she decided to give up.

Thinking about this is so painful; it would be better to be eliminated in the preliminary rounds.

She had been learning divination, talisman making, array setting, and exorcism from her master since she was a child, but she had never been exposed to music, chess, calligraphy, or painting. Wasn't this making things difficult for her?

During this period, Yun Shu didn't prepare any special talents at all. She just stayed at home and livestreamed fortune telling. Her predictions were always accurate, which led to an increasing number of people following her.

The day before the audition for the talent show.

Yun Shu originally planned to continue the live stream, but then she saw a long message in the company's executive group wishing Lu Shijing a happy birthday.

"Lu Shijing's birthday?"

Yun Shu stroked her chin and thought for a moment.

"Then if I give him a gift, will he be less resistant to me? Even if we can't be husband and wife, we can still be friends. I was also very close friends with the Seventh Prince back then."

Yun Shu thought about it and felt it made more and more sense, so she went out and bought some things to prepare a birthday gift.

She was in this group because the original owner of this body had tricked a senior executive into believing she was the president's wife, which led to her being added to the group.

But before the original owner could even speak in the group, she had an accident.

Lu Shijing rarely speaks in the group chat; it's usually his secretary who speaks on his behalf. Therefore, the blessings from these executives are just symbolic gestures.

Unbeknownst to Yun Shu, she had also prepared a birthday gift with great care, hoping to take this opportunity to ease the tension between herself and Lu Shijing.

[Executive Management Group]

[General Manager: Happy birthday, Boss! Wishing you all your dreams come true and everything goes smoothly!]

[Marketing Manager: Happy Birthday, Boss! Wishing you good health and all the best!]

[HR Manager: Happy Birthday, Boss!]

[Yun Shu: Happy Birthday, Boss!]

[Yun Shu: [A photo of a large paper cake]]

[Yun Shu: I made this big cake myself. Wishing you a long and healthy life! Are you at the office? I'll bring it over to celebrate your birthday @Lu Shijing]

[Lu Shijing: ?]

When Yun Shu saw that he had sent a question mark, she wanted to explain the purpose of the paper cake, which could help him drive away the ghosts around him and temporarily prevent him from being harassed by ghosts.

But after she typed and sent the message, the system notified her that she had been removed from the group chat by the administrator.

Yun Shu: "..."

Yun Shu sent another message to Lu Shijing, but the system notified her that she had been blocked.

How much does this guy hate her?

Yun Shu rubbed her forehead, feeling a little helpless, but since the cake had already been made, she couldn't just let it go to waste!

the next day.

When Yun Shu went to participate in the audition, she brought the paper cake to the company and went directly to Lu Shijing's office.

When Yun Shu arrived at the office, neither Lu Shijing nor his secretary were there. She put the cake down and left.

After a while, Lu Shijing and Mu Qing arrived together.

Mu Qing, with a band-aid on her forehead, complained to Lu Shijing.

"Jing, I've had the worst luck these past few days. Not only did the stocks I bought plummet, but the project manager of the project I just finished ran off with all the money! In just three days, I've lost tens of millions! Last night, I even slipped and fell while getting a drink of water!"

That day when I saw Yunshu off, she said I was possessed by evil spirits. Do you think that's true? Should I find a master to take a look?

Lu Shijing turned and glanced at him, his eyes icy cold, which made Mu Qing shudder.

He quickly added, "Okay, okay, I won't mention her in front of you. Anyway, you're divorced, so you have nothing to do with each other anymore."

After Mu Qing finished speaking, her eyes suddenly widened in horror. She pointed at Lu Shijing's neck and said, "Ah Jing, how come you have a wound on your neck? It's bleeding a lot. It wasn't there before!"

Lu Shijing didn't feel anything, but when he reached out and touched it, he found his hand covered in blood.

"Come in quickly! Where's the first-aid kit? Let me bandage you up!"

Mu Qing pulled him into the office, but once inside, Lu Shijing's face turned even paler, and he felt a wave of dizziness.

He sat with his hands supporting him on the desk, and he always felt like there were many people talking around him, and it was as if someone was blowing on his neck.

A hint of annoyance flashed across Lu Shijing's face. He raised his hand and waved it away. "Get lost!"

The surroundings seemed to quiet down a bit, but the blood on his neck continued to flow, staining his clothes red and making his face even paler.

Holy crap!

Suddenly, Mu Qing's scream rang out, "Who put a paper cake here? Isn't that cursing you to die? How unlucky!"

Lu Shijing turned his gaze and felt that the paper cake looked somewhat familiar. In a daze, he seemed to see something biting into the cake, piece by piece.

Lu Shijing thought he was hallucinating, so he closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them again. He saw the paper cake burn up on its own and turn to ashes.

Lu Shijing felt the noisy sounds around him gradually disappear, his eyes became clear, and the wound on his neck seemed to have stopped bleeding.

He straightened up and saw Mu Qing about to dust the ashes off the table into the trash can.

"Wait a moment."

Lu Shijing reached out to stop Mu Qing, his expression shifting as he looked at the handful of ashes on the table.

After a while, he turned to Mu Qing and asked, "Did you light the fire just now?"

Mu Qing said with a strange look, "No, the cake caught fire by itself. Who set it on fire? Were they trying to harm you?"

"no."

Lu Shijing touched the wound on his neck and could feel that it had scabbed over. The dizziness he felt had also disappeared.

He frowned and asked again, "Did Yun Shu participate in the audition for a talent show?"

"Yeah, but she doesn't have any special talents, so she's probably just there to make up the numbers."

"Let's go take a look."

"ah?"

Before Mu Qing could react, Lu Shijing had already changed his clothes in the lounge and then went straight to the audition site for the talent show.

Yun Shu was preparing backstage when her manager, standing beside her, asked with concern, "Yun Shu, what talent have you prepared?"

Before Yun Shu could answer, a harsh voice came from the side, "What talent could she possibly have? All she does is make herself look ugly online to get attention."

Yun Shu turned her head and saw a face surrounded by a deathly aura, with flashes of red light.
