Chapter 153 Stepping on the Fox's Tail 8 The Interview
Lin Yuche and Qi Shu were old acquaintances, so there was no mistake; this was Qi Shu's aura.
The fact that Yun Chiyi could produce that bell that day was already shocking enough. Now she's setting up an array in the house. Has she incurred the wrath of Qi Shu without Lin Yuche's knowledge?
How could that be? He's just a mere mortal.
No, that's not right. She is Yun Chiyi; there's nothing she can't do.
A myriad of emotions surged in Lin Yuche's eyes, but he lowered his gaze and concealed them all.
Let's find the contract first.
Lin Yuche lifted his foot, frowned, and tentatively took two steps. Faced with the sleepiness filling the room, his thoughts were in disarray.
He snapped his fingers as if possessed, putting all the clothes back in their original places.
Seeing the neatly arranged room, he felt inexplicably relieved, and his brows relaxed a little.
However, with that snap of her fingers, Yun Chiyi seemed to hear a sound. She let out a soft moan and sat up abruptly. Her long, raven-feather-like eyelashes trembled slightly. Just as she was about to open her eyes, Lin Yuche moved his toes slightly and disappeared from the room.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Yuche had arrived at the back mountain.
The mountain was shrouded in mist, and he was covered in dew.
Why bother being secretive? Just have Yun Chiyi take it out directly another day.
Lin Yuche used his hand to push away the fog, wanting to get back to the film set before dawn.
At the same moment, Yun Chiyi closed her eyes and fell back onto the bed.
The temperature was low in the middle of the night, and Yun Chiyi was wrapped tightly in the quilt when she was suddenly awakened by a loud noise.
She opened her clear eyes and immediately saw the snake's head trembling in the corner, and the whole room was filled with faint, undulating circles of light.
Could this commotion mean that Qi Shu has arrived?
The system was stunned: [The male lead fell!]
Yun Chiyi put on her outer robe and stepped barefoot onto the ground, unaware that her clothes on the ground were gone.
Her expression was calm, but her pupils were darting slightly. She looked up from the window and saw a crater the size of a car that had fallen from the eleventh floor, smashing through the concrete floor.
However, Qi Shu was not seen.
Yun Chi smiled lightly, "You run fast, though."
The male protagonist's outburst woke up everyone in the neighborhood, and one light after another turned on, breaking the silence of the night.
The security guard knocked on Yun Chiyi's door. She stood in the living room, staring quietly at the dark door, very displeased that Qi Shu had disturbed her peaceful sleep.
The door was still ringing, so she called her bodyguards and asked them to come up and talk to the security guards.
On the rooftop across the street, Qi Shu wiped the blood from his forehead and gazed wistfully at Yun Chiyi's back in the living room.
To his surprise, she was actually colluding with exorcists.
He didn't know that the thing was specifically bought to deal with him.
After finally finding her address, Qi Shu didn't even get into the room, nor did he see Yun Chiyi's face. He stood in the cold wind, staring blankly at her thin, swaying figure.
Qi Shu took a deep breath, letting the cold air pass through his lungs.
The distance was so great that he couldn't smell a trace of her scent.
As dawn approached, Yun Chiyi finished a glass of warm water, pondering why the male lead had become so attached to her.
System Analysis: [It's definitely because of Lin Yuche. They have a grudge. The male protagonist noticed Lin Yuche's presence around you, so he came to investigate.]
Yun Chiyi stood on tiptoe, her toes lightly touching the ground in the thin morning light: "He wants to wipe out Lin Yuche completely?"
The system fully agreed with its deduction: [Of course, Lin Yuche almost killed the male protagonist's father; the hatred for his father's murder is greater than heaven. Now that they've finally found him, he must be killed. Furthermore, Lin Yuche has been recklessly hunting demons in the human realm recently, and as the young master of the demon realm, the male protagonist has an unshirkable duty to uphold his family's honor.]
That makes some sense.
If Lin Yuche, whose demonic power was currently locked, were to face Qi Shu, he would most likely be reduced to ashes.
Yun Chiyi clenched her fists weakly. She had nothing and couldn't protect her target.
With Lin Yuche dead, her mission failed.
She admitted defeat: "Help me find another target to pursue."
System: […Host, you are exceptionally talented. Don't give up easily. Remember, this is the last world!]
Yun Chiyi slumped weakly onto the sofa, muttering to herself, "Looks like I'll have to spend more money on props."
She wanted to collect all sorts of rare magical artifacts that appeared in the book, and she wanted to buy smaller ones so that she could save her life at any time.
With that thought, Yun Chiyi closed her eyes and fell asleep again.
It was all Qi Shu's fault for showing up uninvited and interrupting her sweet dream, so she had no choice but to continue sleeping at home the next day.
After a good meal and a few days of rest, she will go to the company to interview new employees next Friday afternoon.
She trusted Li Aman's judgment, but since it concerned her wallet, it was better to have one last check.
Today, Yun Chiyi was going to meet more than a dozen new people. She walked into the conference room, where desserts and fruits were laid out on her table, which was very different from the empty paper cups in front of others.
She sat down, and Li Aman poured her a latte.
Including Li Aman, there were three other interviewers present.
Yun Chiyi sat in the middle, a faint smile on her young face: "Xiao Li, you should host."
Li Aman briefly explained the first candidate to her: "A female college graduate who just graduated from a professional acting school, from a well-off family, whose parents are both actors."
After seeing six people in a row, Yun Chiyi seemed uninterested.
As she turned to the next person's information, Yun Chiyi's eyes narrowed, and she silently crossed her arms without saying a word, while Li Aman beside her spoke faster.
"He has never acted, but he has an exceptionally good appearance. He has broad shoulders and is tall. Even plastic surgeons cannot sculpt such a handsome face."
Yun Chiyi smiled, revealing her pearly white teeth, and moved her gaze over the name column: "You think highly of this Qi Shu."
Li Aman pointed to Qi Shu's ID photo and said, "This photo hasn't been edited at all. He looks even better in person. Xiaoyun used to really admire this type of person."
"You mean I have a thing for this kind of look? I like anyone who's good-looking; I don't have any fixed preferences." Yun Chiyi closed the file.
Regardless of the male protagonist's intentions, let's take it one step at a time.
Yun Chiyi's voice was clear and crisp: "Let him in."
Qi Shu outside seemed to have his ear pressed to the door, and immediately pushed the door open and came in.
Qi Shu had cut his hair into a wolf tail that reached his neck. He was nearly 1.9 meters tall, and his leather jacket clung to his broad shoulders. When he stepped under the lights, his facial features became even more defined, and his dark eyes were fixed on Yun Chiyi's eyes.
Now that they were much closer, his chest heaved violently, and he grinned wildly.
"Mr. Yun, I've wanted to see you for a long time."
Upon hearing this, everyone present gasped.
Handsome guy, do you know that this is called walking right into a trap?
You want to live off a woman, huh, you little brat!
Yun Chiyi's eyelids twitched slightly, and she curled her lips into a smile, but turned to speak to Li Aman: "Leave him here, and you can deal with the rest of the people."
He was the first person to be selected on the spot. After the others were shocked, they looked at each other and saw in each other's eyes that Yun Chiyi really liked this kind of thing.
Yun Chiyi stood up: "Xiao Li, just give me the final list."
She didn't speak to Qi Shu at all; Qi Shu stared intently at her, never looking away for a moment.
"Mr. Yun, I'd like to ask you for a gift."
Yun Chiyi couldn't help but chuckle, her smile alluring: "Tell me, what do you want?"
Qi Shu stroked his chin and pondered for a long time: "The bunch of grapes on your table, then."
Everyone straightened up. This Qi Shu was quite shrewd; he didn't immediately reveal his materialistic side.
Yun Chiyi was suspicious of what he was up to, but she didn't want to show it.
She said to Li Aman, "Give it to him."
Li Aman was stunned for a moment: "Oh, okay."
Yun Chiyi took the car keys: "I'm going to have afternoon tea. After you're done with your work, come with me to the film set to pick him up. He's wrapping up filming today."
Li Aman immediately realized who she was referring to. So Lin Yuche finished filming today. How did she remember so clearly?
She took it to heart...
Unbeknownst to Yun Chiyi, Li Aman appeared calm on the surface, but her heart was in turmoil. As she strolled past Qi Shu, the other man's head spun towards her like a top.
Qi Shu smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you."
Yun Chiyi gave a forced smile and said, "Oh."
Without a second thought, she walked out of the room in her high heels.
Upon leaving, she first went to find Ai Bai's agent and learned that Ai Bai was still filming travel vlogs. With the help of funds, Ai Bai finally found her footing, and her accounts gradually improved.
Yun Chiyi thought that in two days, she would call her back to meet the male lead.
The company isn't breaking the law or doing anything wrong right now, so it's not afraid of the male lead causing trouble for her. Let's just go back to the original storyline first.
Around five o'clock, the interview ended, and Li Aman went straight to the coffee shop without stopping, finding Yun Chiyi sitting by the window, chin in hand, twirling a spoon.
Upon seeing her arrival, Yun Chiyi waved her hand and said, "Have a seat. I ordered you a coffee."
Li Aman didn't refuse. After finishing her coffee, she took the car keys from the table and said, "President Xiaoyun, I just contacted the production team and asked them to tell Lin Yuche to wait at the same spot after the filming is over. Someone from the company will pick him up."
Yun Chi smiled, her eyes brimming with tears: "You did a great job, you didn't mention my name."
Fearing that she would go herself if he mentioned it, Lin Yuche would have already disappeared.
After packing his things, Lin Yuche sat alone under a tree outside the courtyard, holding a bowl of fermented rice wine in his hand, and only took a sip after a long while.
It's hard to get a taxi here, so he must have been worried about how to get home. But then the company offered to take him home, so he had no more worries.
The fermented rice wine was a bit too sweet; he didn't need it, but the director insisted on putting it in his hand.
The director seemed to be taking good care of him, and Lin Yuche guessed that it was related to Yun Chiyi.
He watched the twilight descend, his eyes occasionally darting around, sometimes looking into the distance, where he saw families nestled in the mountains eating dinner at tables outside, chatting and laughing, shoving each other.
Even though he was far away, he seemed to hear those sounds and rubbed his ears uncomfortably.
He raised his eyebrows again, and a sparkling clean car stopped in front of him. The window rolled down, and in the dim light of the back seat, a beautiful face was revealed.
Yun Chiyi smiled and poked her head out: "Don't just sit there like an idiot, get in the car and I'll take you home for dinner."
Lin Yuche remained expressionless: "It's you."
Yun Chiyi's smile deepened: "What's wrong with me? You don't need to be grateful. Hurry up and get on, the cars behind us still need to pass."
Lin Yuche picked up his bag, got into the car, and sat there distantly.
