Chapter 542: Memories between Sisters

The breeze was still blowing. When Tilan and Themisia finished their conversation, only 5 minutes had passed. To others, the whole process was just the girl staring at herself in the mirror, and then being in a daze for a while.

After the conversation, Tilan had a new task in her life, which was to investigate the mysterious organization that she had contacted with Themisia, and then obtain further information to understand her own life experience.

However, this task was not urgent. In her opinion, she would have enough spare time and energy to complete it after graduating from college. At present, as a singer, she was still unstable. If she rashly contacted these things, she would only expose problems for nothing.

After putting these thoughts aside, Tilan looked at the time, then stood up and walked out of the conference room.

"President Tilan."

The two people guarding the door saw her coming out and bowed their heads to greet her. However, because of their height, they happened to see the girl's profile when they bowed their heads.

Today, Tilan was wearing a gothic dress. There were a few dark gold hollow butterflies on the black pleated skirt. The wide cuffs were lined with white lining like morning glories. Against this background, the exposed fingers were particularly delicate, like some kind of work of art.

Noticing that the two people's reactions were a bit slow, the girl tilted her head with a little curiosity.

"What's wrong?"

"Ah, nothing." The two people quickly turned their eyes away, panicking in their hearts.

In response, Tilan just shook her head slightly, and did not pursue what they had just thought.

Seeing Tilan continue to move forward, the two took a few seconds to react, and quickly accelerated a few steps to catch up, and then walked along the pace of the girl.

What happened today? It's not like I haven't seen President Tilan before, why am I stunned today? The two people reflected in their hearts at this moment.

Maybe it's because the girl today seems to be more "smart" than usual, or has a different temperament? The two people vaguely concluded in their hearts.

During this period, Tilan's methods were very clever, and even decisive. She cracked down on partners with ulterior motives, intimidated company representatives with ulterior motives, punished employees who concealed information, etc. At first, everyone was a little worried that Tilan was too young as a singer and could be easily fooled or used by these old-timers, but after several actions, everyone in the star cluster had to admire this girl.

If young girls can be deceived because of their lack of social experience, a powerful singer is born to be a strong leader.

During negotiations, any loopholes in your mind, lack of confidence, and changes in your emotions will be noticed by the other party. In front of her, you will almost inevitably expose your cards. In terms of business intelligence, even if she can't do it herself, she can entrust multiple professionals to hear the information she wants from multiple angles, and filter out false exaggerations and deliberately concealed and ignored parts in the process.

The dilemma of general leaders is that even with the assistance of professionals, the information gap between the two sides and the trust problem will cause the information obtained by the leader to be distorted, and it will be difficult to make a correct judgment in the end.

This is just the passive aspect. If the singer actively uses her own appeal to persuade the other party, unless it is a high-level extraordinary person, it is difficult to be completely unaffected by the firm will. However, the other party will probably notice this behavior. In order to avoid conflicts, the singers do not use it much.

Taking the elevator to the fourth floor of the building, Tilan saw the members of the document department who were about to leave.

"Hello, President Tilan." More than ten people stood up.

"Are you just about to leave?" Tilan saw that they had already printed the contract documents and put them in the bag.

"Yes, we are about to leave." One of the members replied.

"Well..." Tilan thought for a while.

"Take me with you, maybe they have some ideas."

"Yes." Seeing that Tilan wanted to go with them, everyone seemed to be more excited.

Then the group came to the special conference hall in a hurry. This was not the small conference room inside the club, but a hall that could accommodate thousands of people.

Here, a group of representatives from various companies who received the news had already arrived. Seeing the black-haired girl and a group of members coming in, they all stood up.

"Good afternoon, Lord Tilan."

"Good afternoon, Miss Tilan."

"Greetings, Lord Heshia Tilan."

The girl nodded in return, and then sat down in the middle of the hall. There was a seat dedicated to her. The bluestone carved chair was square as a whole, and there were rose decorations on both sides of the towering chair back. Depending on the style and name of each singer, these rose decorations often have different shapes.

For example, Tilan's chair has dark purple and black leaves with light blue ice roses on both sides, while Odney's is silver leaves with white and green roses, and Shui Yanqing is aqua blue leaves with pink roses.

After sitting down, the accompanying members will print out the documents one by one for these business representatives to review. A buzz of discussion soon sounded at the scene. Tilan on the chair did not stop it, but waited quietly.

About ten minutes later, a member asked the girl in her ear. As the girl nodded slightly, the member stood up, came to the podium, and turned on the microphone.

There was a round of applause, which made everyone quiet down, and then he began to speak.

"I believe everyone has just read the re-drafted contract or agreement. If you have no objection, you can raise your hand. We will arrange the signing. If you still have doubts, please write down your demands and hand them to the members of the Star Cluster next to you. They will bring them to the front for President Tilan to reply."

After he finished speaking, some people raised their hands first, and the other representatives looked at it, hesitated a little, and raised their hands.

In fact, these contracts have been negotiated many times, and they are basically the versions that are closer to their bottom line after the game. Some major issues have been negotiated before. The reason why some representatives still disagree is just out of concern for risks, or want to see how others decide.

Seeing more and more people raising their hands, the rest of the people couldn't help but raise their hands one after another, fearing that they would be ignored in the end, or offend the singing lady sitting on the stage.

After these days of getting along, they don't think that this seemingly gentle girl is really as easy to bully and fool as she seems. Maybe if they raise their hands too late, the other party will see it and remember it in their hearts.

About half a minute later, seeing the last representative also hesitantly raised his hand, the members of the Star Cluster in the hall felt a sense of pride, and then secretly glanced at the black-haired girl in the Gothic skirt sitting on the stage. Seeing that her eyes were still calm and clear, they felt a little ashamed and felt that they still lacked some self-control.

After all, most of the people present were still students, and it was their first time to come into contact with such a commercial project involving tens of billions or hundreds of billions of dollars, so it was inevitable that they were a little excited.

No wonder the teachers all said that if possible, working with a singer is much better than working in a company, both in terms of ideals and reality.

Tilan stood up with her hands lightly holding the handrails, glanced at the people present, nodded slightly, then lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands and bowed.

"Thank you for your support." Then she stood up.

"I know that many people are still worried. After all, many projects are very big steps, and it is the first time for many companies to contact them, but everyone should also see the prospects and future contained in them."

"I dare not guarantee that these projects will be a great success, but it is always beneficial to stick to them. If you really encounter difficult problems in the later stage, you can also come to me. I will try my best to find a way to solve them for you." This sentence made many representatives who were still worried put down the stones in their hearts.

Although this singing girl herself did not have much money, her personal influence was a huge political asset. With her words, even if this cooperation project suffered a loss, it could get assistance from other aspects and would not be completely lost.

"Lady Tilan is thoughtful."

"Thank you, Miss Tilan."

The representatives of the companies present expressed their gratitude one after another, and then the two sides signed various contracts and agreements. After finishing these, it was already evening, so another dinner was held.

At the beginning of the banquet, Tilan was still there. She simply toured around and left early after completing the necessary etiquette procedures. After all, she was not used to drinking. If she stayed at the banquet, these people would probably not be able to let go.

"I'll leave the rest to you." Before leaving, Tilan asked some members to stay at the banquet to entertain and maintain a certain order.

"Yes, President."

After returning to the mansion, the girl first took a hot bath, changed out of her Gothic dress, put on a more comfortable nightgown, and then sat in the study and closed her eyes for a while before opening her eyes to look through the schedule records of these days.

Although she vaguely remembered a lot of things, after all, it was not her own experience, so it was inevitable that there were some omissions. It was better to take a look.

An hour later, after flipping through the schedule, Tilan closed the record board.

Themisia is really a workaholic. She has hardly taken a break in the past two weeks. She has turned down all the party invitations from Orles, Odney, and Shui Yanqing. If they didn't live close to each other and knew that she was really busy during this period, they would probably think that she was deliberately alienating everyone.

But it's better this way. If Themisia really meets these friends, it's hard for singers to lie to each other, and who knows what accidents might happen.

Just when Tilan was about to get up, take a walk, get some fresh air, and then go to sleep, there was a knock on the study door.

"Come in." She thought it was a maid looking for her, but she didn't expect to see the silver-green-haired Ge Yin.

"Tilan."

Ge Yin called her name a little timidly, which was not like her usual style.

"What's wrong, come over here." The girl waved her hand and asked Ge Yin to come over.

In fact, the two are of similar age and height, and they get along well with each other, so they shouldn't be so afraid.

Seeing the girl's gentle voice, Ge Yin felt relaxed and happy. This kind of emotional fluctuation was rare before.

After coming to Tilan, Ge Yin lowered his head and hesitated for a while, then took out a chip card from his palm and placed it in front of Tilan.

"This is the information you asked me to find before."

Hmm? The information I asked Ge Yin to find, the girl's eyes moved slightly, thinking that it might be Themisia who did it.

"Well, what is stored in it specifically."

She began to recall whether she had relevant memories, and it seemed that she did recall a little, but it was very faint. It seems that when Themisia asked Ge Yin to find the information, she didn't have much expectation, but just asked her to help casually. This guy always finds it easy to order others.

"It contains news or information about organizations related to the study of 'soul' and 'angel prototype'."

Ah, Themisia has started to let people check it, the girl blinked.

"Are there any results?" Tilan took the chip card.

"Many organizations have studied these, but they are all illegal and have been cracked down by the Tribunal. Later, even if they are still alive, they disappeared from the Internet." Ge Yin answered.

"It's not surprising. After all, these things are the 'taboos' of the Fifth Era." Tilan shook her head slightly. She couldn't say she was disappointed, but she felt that it would be more difficult to find the mysterious organization in the future.

Seeing that Ge Yin seemed to be hesitant to speak, Tilan held her hand and a faint warmth was conveyed to her.

"Is there anything you want to say?"

After being grabbed by Tilan's wrist, Ge Yin's hand trembled slightly, and then stabilized.

"Well..."

"Tilan has become a little strange these days." Her voice was weak. If the two were not close, the girl probably couldn't hear it.

"Well, it's probably because of an accident, but it's recovered now." Tilan thought about it and had to explain it this way.

"I... Actually, I have something to hide from Tilan." Ge Yin hesitated for a long time and finally began to speak.

"I know."

Ge Yin's personality was simple and she couldn't hide things. Moreover, in front of the singer who knew people's hearts, Tilan had long noticed that Ge Yin was hesitant.

Tilan knew it originally, but because of sympathy, she would not reveal it. However, Themisia was different. After a few days of getting along, she saw that Ge Yin was hiding something, but she did not reveal it because she thought that if she did, Tilan would be unhappy.

Although she did not reveal it, the cold gaze that pointed directly to her heart made Ge Yin feel like she was falling into an ice cave for the first time. She was in a state of anxiety and panic for several days, until the girl asked her to find information later, and then she felt a little better.

"I didn't want to hide it from Tilan from the beginning, but before..." Ge Yin slowly talked about her experience in high school. At that time, everyone on campus was immersed in the situation of fighting against Saint Ingo, and few people paid attention to her life. Although she occasionally interacted with Tilan, they were just ordinary friends.

...

"So later you joined the "Seven Sages Council"?" Tilan was a little surprised. She originally thought it would be a big deal, but it turned out that she just joined a network organization.

"Yeah." Ge Yin continued to talk about the past and current situation of the "Seven Sages Council".

…

"So it's such a big organization, involving so many secrets. No wonder you were hesitant before. It would be difficult for me to speak up."

"Telling me this now, Ge Yin is taking a big risk."

"I will do my best to protect you. I think even in such an organization, it would be difficult to touch the people around the singer, especially in the Golden Flame Flower Academy."

…

"From what you said, there should be a federal official secret line in the organization. This seems to make sense."

…

"Let's do this. Ge Yin will continue to stay in the organization. If it involves any sensitive matters, you can discuss it with me. In addition, protect your own information and try not to let others know your true situation."

With Tilan's comfort, Ge Yin slowly stabilized her emotions. Then Tilan took her back to her room to sleep and sang a lullaby beside Ge Yin's bed, so that the child who had been frightened for several days gradually fell asleep.

After returning to her bedroom, Tilan sat in front of the dressing mirror and simply tied her hair to avoid messing it up at night. At this time, the girl in the mirror blinked her eyes, showing a light purple glow.

"I can't believe that one of the core members of such a large organization is such a simple and timid girl." Themisia said.

"I just scared her before, and then I couldn't sleep for several days. Tsk." She didn't like such a weak girl.

"Who can withstand your scares? Let alone Ge Yin, I think those business representatives were also scared by you." Tilan immediately retorted.

"That can only mean that they have something to hide and their will is not strong." The girl in the mirror yawned with her hands covering her mouth.

"You were so timid before, how come you were not scared by me, and you are still so stubborn."

"I was bullied by you a lot when I was a child." Tilan expressed dissatisfaction.

"How did I bully you? Obviously, I have always taken good care of you, a timid sister." Themisia was not convinced at this time.

"Do you remember, when I was in elementary school, you once took me to the surface to play." Tilan talked about her childhood.

"It seems like that happened. What happened?"

"You didn't tell mom at the time and took me there directly. Then we wandered around the open-air market on the ground. There were only adults there, and the environment was quite chaotic."

"It's nothing. Although they were all adults, I was Sequence 4 at the time, and these adults couldn't beat me at all." Themisia didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"But I was scared, and the smell in the market was weird, and some adults looked at me with ill intentions."

"Well, even if you were a little scared, it couldn't be considered bullying. I remember that many of the goods in that open-air market were damaged parts left over by the truck drivers, such as broken electrical appliances, fruits in poor condition, discarded items, etc. Many of them were quite interesting. Unlike the regular market, you can also see knives and guns that are not available under normal circumstances."

"Look, it's so messy. Of course I was scared as a child. Later, you took me to the rocky mountain to play, left me on the top of the mountain, and slid down yourself."

"I let you slide at that time, but you didn't dare." Themisia retorted.

"The Yellow Sand Mountain Road is several hundred meters long. For a person who is just over one meter tall, I must be more afraid than excited. I didn't practice the Transcendental Sequence at that time, unlike you who can fly."

"Okay, okay, I didn't understand little Tilan's feelings, but after so many years, you still remember it." "

Of course I remember, because after returning that day, I cried in my mother's arms for a long time, but she still didn't blame you."

"So little Tilan was jealous and aggrieved, haha."

Maybe I really envied my sister back then, not only because of her high talent, confidence, and brilliance, but also because at that time, although my mother took good care of herself, she actually cared more about Themisia.

This is also natural, even though Themisia is rebellious and not very obedient, the vigorous vitality she exudes is something that I, who is still in the ugly duckling stage, can hardly look up to, so she will be favored by my mother. Inferiority

, sadness, envy, wanting to prove myself, not wanting to admit defeat.

Why I don't want to merge with Themisia is probably because of these complex emotions.

Why, after years of gradually realizing these things, he still didn't want to be as decisive and resolute as Themisia? Perhaps he wanted to prove that gentleness and rationality were as powerful as that kind of boldness and decisiveness.
