Shang Liang, the master of the Yuntai Sect, failed his ascension after using the remains of an ancient divine dragon to refine a magical artifact, the Dragon Soul Tower, causing his soul to transmi...

Chapter 385 Not Relying on Looks for a Living

In a flash, Shang Lin immediately sent a telepathic message to She Jinxing, "It's not impossible. If Ah Chou writes well, we'll even have a screenwriter."

She Jinxing, “…”

Silently giving Shang Lin a thumbs up, their sect leader is truly amazing. Even Xing Tian probably doesn't think as far ahead as him. Ah Chou has only just started writing his book and hasn't even seen any money yet, and the sect leader is already making him a screenwriter!

Just then, Old Man Chai saw Shang Lin and hurriedly came over to greet him, asking in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

In order not to disturb everyone's filming, Shang Lin walked to a corner again before replying, "I've never been here before, so I thought I'd come and take a look. I'll just treat this as a weekend break."

"Well, that's good. We can't just study all the time. We need to get out and relax, right?"

Even though Shang Lin had confessed to Old Man Chai that he was no longer the same Shang Lin, and his body was no longer as sickly as before, the ingrained impression from over a decade ago was too deep. So in Old Man Chai's heart, Shang Lin was still Shang Lin.

Since it's still Shang Lin, everything has to be compromised in the face of his health. Being a top student is good, but without good health, it's all for naught.

Just then, Chi Xie and Hu Tangdi finished filming and walked over quickly, almost simultaneously asking in a telepathic voice, "Why has the Sect Master come?"

Shang Lin smiled helplessly, and instead of using telepathy, replied in a low voice, "Of course I came to see you guys. How was the filming? Was it fun?"

Hu Tangdi immediately laughed and said, "It's quite fun, but it's a real shame that my beautiful face can't be fully shown."

Red Scorpion gave Hu Tangdi a cold look. "I've never seen anyone as narcissistic as you! What chance will you have when the sect leader grows up?"

Shang Lin smiled helplessly and said, "What are you two doing? Besides, what's the point of me, a grown man, comparing my face with a little girl?"

Old Man Chai and She Jinxing, standing to the side, also smiled helplessly along with Shang Lin, but Hu Tangdi chimed in, "That's right, that's right. The sect leader is a man, and I'm a woman. What's the comparison? Besides, our sect leader doesn't make a living based on his looks."

Seeing that Red Scorpion was about to start arguing again, She Jinxing suddenly said, "Alright, alright, the sect leader rarely comes here, are you just here to watch you bicker?"

Hu Tangdi and Chi Xie both fell silent. Old Man Chai said to Shang Lin, "Come on, come on, your godfather will take you on a tour."

"OK!"

Shang Lin left with Old Man Chai, while She Jinxing went to watch Huang Ying cook. It has to be said that different people can achieve different results when doing the same thing.

Huang Ying seems to have a special talent for cooking. If A Chou can improve his cultivation through writing, can Huang Ying improve his cultivation through cooking?

Thinking of this possibility, She Jinxing couldn't help but laugh. It seems that Xing Tian wasn't the only one who had been driven a little crazy by Ah Chou!

Chi Xie and Hu Tangdi exchanged bewildered glances. Had they just been abandoned like this?!

Shang Lin followed Old Man Chai on a tour of the office, lounge, and filming area, marveling at each set. Indeed, attention doesn't come from nowhere!

Shang Lin couldn't help but sigh, "It seems the place we rented is still too small."

Old Man Chai immediately laughed and said, "After all, no one expected Xing Tian and those young people to have so many ideas. But we've only just begun; we can't expect to get fat in one bite."

Shang Lin nodded. "About doing business... Hmm? What smells so good? Is Huang Ying's cooking ready?"

"Yes, yes," Old Man Chai couldn't help but praise, "Huang Ying's cooking is getting better and better. In the future, no one will eat the food I make."

"How could that be? To each their own." Shang Lin looked around again. "By the way, where's the almanac? I haven't seen it at all."

Suddenly someone shouted, "That's a wrap! Everyone come and try Yingzi's delicious food!"

"Oh, Huangli went to play in the storeroom." Old Man Chai pointed towards the kitchen. "Let's go too, or they'll have taken everything by the time we get there."

"OK!"

Shang Lin followed with great interest, only to see everyone gathered around the kitchen counter, reaching for the food on the plates with their chopsticks. The process was extremely rapid, and by the time they arrived, he couldn't even tell what Huang Ying had made.

Hu Tangdi handed the bowl and chopsticks to Shang Lin, saying, "Cousin, you should try this. They're really quick to grab the food."

It has to be said that women are more meticulous in certain matters. Chi Xie and She Jinxing didn't think of that and just joined in the fun.

Huang Ying only noticed Shang Lin at this moment and hurriedly squeezed over, "Sect Leader, what brings you here?"

Shang Lin accepted the bowl and chopsticks that Hu Tangdi handed him without any hesitation, and then said to Huang Ying, "Let's see how much your cooking skills have improved?"

Huang Ying's eyes immediately lit up, "Really?!"

Shang Lin replied sincerely, "Of course it's true."

After saying that, he took a bite of the meat, which looked quite appetizing. "What kind of dish is this?"

Before Huang Ying could answer, the photographer asked, "Who is this young man? Is he from our company?"

Shang Lin nodded, "Yes."

All the human employees were shocked. This handsome young man was from their company? Why had he never been to the company before? Did he work behind the scenes?

If that's the case, it's such a pity! What a waste of such a beautiful face!

Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Hu Tangdi hurriedly said, "This is our boss. He's still studying. Don't get any ideas about him. Most importantly, he's still a minor. Don't have any improper thoughts about him."

The human employees, "..."

What is reading, what is being a minor, what is not to be tempted, none of these are as damaging as the word "boss". Is this some rich second or third generation kid who is just playing around?

Shang Lin suddenly noticed the human employees' shocked expressions and laughed, "Since everyone has finished their work and eaten, you can go home now."

Not only were the human employees shocked, but even their own people were stunned. Then they heard Shang Lin say, "I'm giving everyone a paid weekend off. Let's go."

Chi Xie and She Jinxing suddenly paused. A faint, unfamiliar, and chilling aura filled the air, as if an invisible force was quietly surging and rolling towards them.

Hu Tangdi hurriedly snatched the things from the human employees' hands and urged them with a smile, "What are you all standing there for? The boss is giving you paid leave, so hurry up and go."

"Oh, okay, okay."

Everyone was a little confused, but they quickly left. Why wouldn't they take their paid leave? Were they out of their minds? What if the boss changed his mind the next second?

Shang Lin immediately looked at She Jinxing, "You take your godfather home."

She Jinxing hesitated, but finally nodded, but...
