Chapter 58: Calculating Every Little Advantage

I submitted several resumes and interviewed at a few seemingly large-scale advertising companies. In the end, all of them invited me back for second-round interviews.

"Rise, all of you," Chen Yunfeng said calmly, looking down at the nine great guardians and the one hundred guard captains below.

Given Sizhen's current status, how could she possibly perform such acts in public? The Dai family's actions were nothing more than using the tiger's skin as a banner to make a show of their close relationship with her before others. When Madam Tian mentioned it earlier, she had already politely declined once. She hadn't expected that seeing her show a bit of pleasant demeanor would prompt this Dai Yue'e to test the waters again.

Nanny Qin and Huamei remained as nanny and head maid, while Fugui, Ronghua, and a few trusted personal guards acted as domestic servants.

Outside the window hung a pale, ghostly moon, suspended high in the mid-air. It looked cold and solitary, much like a man's retreating back.

The passageway was pitch black, and no one could see what lay inside. However, since they had all previously visited the Immortal Destined Secret Realm, they could more or less guess roughly where they would emerge after passing through it.

Feeling slightly annoyed, I walked over leisurely, placed the chicken drumstick on the dining table, sat down beside him, and started eating directly.

Having just taken a beating and perhaps in a less than stellar mood, Zhou Yaze hadn't called me for the next few days, let alone asked me out to play.

Against such a force, even the phantom of the Origin Seal was helpless; Mo Tianwei could only rely entirely on herself.

Yet Xu Minghui and I had managed to forge this bond. We ought to have cherished this precious and rare affinity, but who could have foreseen that it would end in today's breakup?

"Liu Liu, have you lost your damn mind?" The moment he heard my words, Da Hei roared at me anxiously.

Xiang Nuanyang wanted to say no, but the elder brother on the second floor had indeed taken the person's money and left while humming a tune.

A single wild boar yielded so much meat that they could keep all of it for themselves to eat, though selling it out would also fetch a tidy sum.

For Sima Jian, this seductive demoness who had brought about disaster was better off dead; it saved a lot of trouble and made it easier for him to report back to His Majesty.

That was a gigantic snake, snow-white from head to tail, its scales cold and hard, and its waist as thick as a water barrel, radiating a formidable and powerful aura. A pair of emerald-green pupils were cold and sinister.

Chen Rui and the others recognized him; he was the Chief Clerk of Yulong Star City, who usually took good care of them.

Naturally, since she had helped him earn so much money, he ought to express his gratitude properly.

Daniu next door watched their cheering and jumping with a sour feeling in his heart. He had heard from Fang Hongxiu that Grandma had given them nice names and even sent Eryu to school, completely as if he had been utterly forgotten.

Du Gaozhuang left happily, and Xiang Nuanyang gave a soft sigh. She hadn't even realized that today she hadn't refused Du Gaozhuang's call of "Sister."

The furnishings in the room were relatively simple, consisting only of basic utensils and two bottles of hot water, which was sufficient for washing up.

They were inwardly puzzled: Prefect Ren had entered the cabin for so long, why hadn't he come out yet, and the Emperor was nowhere to be seen either?

Yesterday, she was clearly helping Xie Lanyu take the fall. Look at what Old Madam Xie's attitude toward her was like compared to how she treated Xie Lanyu!

"Why didn't you say so earlier? If you'd said so earlier, I would have gotten it for you sooner." Du Shouyi began to brag shamelessly again.

Handling a corpse like this was far more difficult than dealing with an ordinary, normal corpse.

The assistant waiting outside appeared immediately, blocking the increasingly excited fans, which allowed Lin Jiwei to leave.

By the time Song Jiurui changed his clothes and returned, they had restored that warm and harmonious scene again, only he found it rather an eyesore.

This was the trial set by the Fox Mask for Tang San—a blatant manifestation of malice and an open conspiracy.

After flying in circles with Luo Enhan for a while, the white eagle was angered to death. It simply turned its head, flew up to the roof of the carriage, and landed.

However, if a conflict arose between the two that would endanger Tang Shu's life, they would abandon Tang San and the others without hesitation and protect Tang Shu alone.

He was already covered in blood, crimson fluid seeping through the gaps of the Eternal Armor, and even his consciousness had been battered to the point of haziness.

Wuy Shuang tore off the packing tape stuck to her hands, gently rubbed her wrists, and looked at the lanky boy, waiting to see what he wanted to say.

As soon as the two of them sat down, they happened to see Lu Ming supporting the old master as they walked over. All three of them quickly stood straight and greeted the old master, asking him to sit.

Su Liuyi had not yet lost his composure to the enormous surprise and immediately ordered someone to summon Mo Yuan and several captured soldiers of the Jiyang Army.

Xia Xinghe glanced at those people, leaned against the wall, and didn't bother to speak. With that bout of vomiting, the last remaining bits of noodle digestion in her stomach had all been thrown up, and her stomach was rumbling with hunger.

After eating lunch and resting for a while, Zhao Yucheng drove Tian Yuanyuan to the entrance of her company before leaving.

However, Qiao Liwen seemed to have overlooked one fact: Lu Hengwei never actually seemed to agree to a divorce with her. Of course, all of that was a story for later.

"Go ahead and speak." Unhappy or unwilling as she might be, this matter had to be resolved eventually; otherwise, how could she stay in the entertainment industry in the future?
