Chapter 507: Continuous Shock, Did the Zuo Family Borrow Luck? (3)
Sang Yanqing was startled once more. “Do you seriously wish to enroll in Northern State No.l Middle School?” she asked. “It’s not easy to get into, and I don’t have any contacts there. I’ll inquire with Mr. Yu first.”
After Sang Yanqing left, Yuejian leaned on Si Fuqing’s shoulder, laughing so hard she couldn’t compose herself. “Your agent is quite amusing. If she knew you’re the ‘Mechanical Queen’ working on anti-gravity armor, she’d be scared to death.”
“Where did that chuunibyou title come from?” Si Fuqing responded with an unchanging expression. “What does it have to do with me?”
“Since you left, the experiment has been shelved,” Yuejian paused, then added,
“No one dares to touch it now, fearing they might end up like you.”
Si Fuqing narrowed her eyes slightly, calmly stating, “I was indeed killed in an explosion, but it wasn’t necessarily due to the experiment.”
“With the master in seclusion and the Big Senior Brother wandering the world, all hopes are on the Second Senior Brother,” Yuejian sighed. “Hopefully, he makes some progress.”
As they were speaking, Sang Yanqing returned. “Qingqing, Mr. Yu has asked you to go. The car is waiting downstairs.”
Si Fuqing stood up, “I’m on my way.”
Yu Xiheng had a private residence in Sijiu, separate from his family home, known only to Yu Tang and Yu Qishan.
The driver stopped in front of a villa by the lake.
The sunlight was warm, and the air filled with the scent of flowers and birdsong.
Yu Xiheng seemed to prefer such serene locations.
Upon Si Fuqing’s arrival, she found Yu Xiheng sitting in the yard, a go board on a stone table before him.
Was he playing go with himself?
“What are you standing there for?” Yu Xiheng placed a piece on the board and smiled slightly. “Come here, I have your favorite milk tea.”
Hearing this, Si Fuqing immediately approached.
Yu Xiheng turned his head, speaking slowly, “I heard from Sang Yanqing that you wish to enroll in Northern State No.l Middle School?”
“Yes,” Si Fuqing, cradling her milk tea, confirmed. “My cousin is there, and I’m filming in Northern State.”
Yu Xiheng nodded.
“I want to go to school, just to register,” Si Fuqing clasped her hands together, her eyes bright. “Is that okay, boss? Please, I really want to go.”
He slightly moved his eyebrows, placing a black piece on the board leisurely,
“Are you trying to act cute?”
Si Fuqing blinked, “Eh? Maybe?”
This was how she spoke when she needed a favor from Yuejian or the Master of Ghost Valley.
They usually agreed to her requests.
Over time, she learned what truly worked when asking for a favor.
She was confident in utilizing her strength.
No one could resist, right?
After an, even me temperamental ma master yielded to her.
Si Fuqing declared proudly. “Yes, I am acting cute.”
Yu Xiheng lightly patted her head, sighing softly, “To act in such a manner, you’re indeed quite young, girl.”
“How is that young?” Si Fuqing countered. “Can’t adults act cute? I can be cute even at eight hundred years old.”
Yu Xiheng chuckled softly, “You can be cute.” “Then go,” he said. “I’ll have the vice principal come over. It’s all up to you.” “No problem,” Si Fuqing made an ‘ok’ gesture.
He paused, smiling as he met her gaze, “Try not to frighten anyone.”
Si Fuqing took a big sip of her milk tea, “I’ll do my best.”
At “Fashion Lady”.
As expected, the chief editor’s interview gained a lot of attention.
Some even praised Lin Wansu on her Weibo for being a scholar.
Marketing accounts started spreading news of “the second round of PK, Si Fuqing still loses miserably.”
The chief editor didn’t concern herself with online comments.
“For October’s cover, we’ve reached out to Queen Lu,” she reviewed the planning schedule. “Just in time for the ‘Oracle’s’ anniversary music MV release, the magazine’s sales will surely be high.”
With “Oracle” being an internationally popular game, it had a wide audience.
The chief editor couldn’t contain her excitement at the thought of October’s issue possibly breaking a million in sales.
Since inception, the highest record of sales was four-hundred-fifty-thousand.
“Yes, it’s rare to get in touch with Queen Lu,” an editor hesitated. “Chief Editor Li, don’t you think Si Fuqing’s team has been too quiet? After what we said about her online, there’s been no reaction.”
This was unlike Sang Yanqing’s style.
And certainly not Si Fuqing’s, known for her fiery temper.
She constantly made people kneel and call her daddy, so this time it seemed oddly quiet.
“What reaction do you expect?” Chief Editor Li sipped her tea, indifferent. “Did I falsely accuse her of her educational background? It’s the truth. What can Sang Yanqing do about it? Make up a degree for her?”
She had no time to worry about Si Fuqing’s affairs. “First, let’s contact Queen Lu and discuss October’s cover theme with her team.”
The editor nodded, dialing Lu Ningsheng’s number.
Since Lu Ningsheng had no agent, they had to contact her directly.
However, a male voice answered the call.
The editor whispered, “Chief Editor Li, it might be Lu Tianhou’s fiancé, from the Shen family, the young talent!”
Shen Xi, with his immense wealth, made Lu Ningsheng the envy of many in the entertainment industry for being engaged to him.
Chief Editor Li quickly adapted, her tone much more respectful, “Hello, I’m the chief editor of ‘Fashion Lady,’ my name surname is Li. I’d like to discuss the cover theme for the issue featuring Queen Lu. We’ll fully accommodate her suggestions.”
‘”Fashion Lady’?” Shen Xi’s tone turned cold upon hearing the introduction.
“Ningsheng doesn’t have the time.”
Chief Editor Li was taken aback. “But this was agreed upon last month. Isn’t
Queen Lu free of any engagements recently?”
In the ever-shifting world of entertainment, fashion magazines like theirs often had to decide on their cover personalities at least two or three issues in advance, with alternatives ready just in case.
Should any unforeseen event arise, there would still be time to make a switch.
Due to Lu Ningsheng’s contract termination with her previous agency, Chief
Editor Li hadn’t managed to sign a contract with her in time.
Yet, trusting in Lu Ningsheng’s reliability, Chief Editor Li felt reassured. Who could have predicted that, at the last moment, Lu Ningsheng would stand them up?
“You assigned Miss Sit s cover to someone else and ridiculed her both openly and subtly online. Ningsheng hasn’t directly confronted you online, which should have been enough for you to be grateful.. And yet, you still harbor hopes of collaborating with Ningsheng?” Shen Xi scoffed, “Are you daydreaming?”
