Fifth Master Lu said that he would let her go after fifteen minutes, but Siyu had never felt that time was so difficult to pass.
With a huge source of murderous aura beside her, Siyu felt extremely uncomfortable no matter where she sat. She secretly glanced at the time on her phone, thinking that no one noticed. She lowered her head and silently counted in her heart, but she did not know that Fifth Master Lu had already opened his eyes and was staring at her with interest.
After enduring for fifteen minutes with great difficulty, Fifth Master Lu saw that the little girl was overjoyed but did not dare to move immediately. He suddenly did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Okay, I'll get someone to send you back."
The cooling effect of staying by Siyu's side was immediate. It was even more useful than the rare treasures that Fifth Master Lu had searched everywhere for in the past, which made him very satisfied. Originally, if Fifth Master Lu wanted to force her to stay, Siyu would not even be able to say no. However, at this moment, his body was feeling comfortable. In addition, when he saw Siyu's pitiful appearance of suppressing her voice and coughing, his usually calm heart slightly rippled.
Forget it, forget it. It was better not to bully her too hard. After all, she was something that was going to be used for a long time. Naturally, she had to be maintained well.
Hearing Fifth Master Lu's words, Siyu immediately let out a long sigh of relief. She practically jumped up from the sofa and slowly retreated to the door while looking at Fifth Master Lu's expression. She forced a smile. "Then I'll be leaving. Goodbye?"
It would be best if they did not meet again in the future!
As if hearing the deep longing hidden under Siyu's "goodbye", Fifth Master Lu said warmly, "I will stay in Jiangcheng for a while. During this time, don't go out of the city."
Siyu's smile froze. "… Huh?"
Fifth Master Lu seemed to be afraid that she did not understand and explained in a rare good temper. However, Siyu felt the subtle evil in his voice. "If necessary, I will send someone to pick you up at any time. If you leave Jiangcheng, it will be inconvenient."
Siyu: "…" Was this lunatic done?! Was he addicted to watching her vomit blood? What did he mean by coming to pick her up whenever she needed him? How could he be so oppressive?
Siyu straightened her neck. She really wanted to slap the table and accuse Fifth Master Lu righteously. However, she was not good at anything else, but her sense of crisis was very sharp. Seeing Fifth Master Lu leaning against the sofa and twirling the prayer beads in his hand, she quietly suppressed the signs of resistance.
She remembered now. This lunatic was from the Lu Family, and by the looks of it, he held a high position in the Lu Family as well. Sacrificing herself would only bring her pain for a while, but if she angered the Lu Family, she would disappear from the face of the earth the next day.
Siyu, who had a strong desire to live, swallowed the bitterness in her mouth and said, "Fifth Lord, you have the final say."
This answer caused the dangerous aura around Fifth Master Lu to dissipate a little. Sure enough, he was not mistaken. This little girl's tactfulness was very much to his liking. He hated disobedient things, and Siyu's cleverness made Fifth Master Lu feel that there was no harm in being a little more lenient to this girl.
"Go." Fifth Master Lu nodded. Just as Siyu happily rushed to the door, he seemed to have thought of something and called out to her. "I've asked someone to prepare the medicinal herbs. Take them back together. They've already been prepared for you. Just take one dose every day."
Siyu was taken to the car by the black-clothed bodyguards who had sent her here earlier. Sure enough, she found that the back seat of the car was filled with bags of expensive medicinal herbs. She roughly calculated the price and clicked her tongue in her heart. As expected of the Lu Family, they were generous. The amount of medicinal herbs here was worth all of her salary.
In the villa's living room, after Siyu left, the heat once again surrounded Fifth Master Lu. He slowly turned the prayer beads to calm his mind. His eyes inadvertently glanced and found a piece of paper sandwiched between the cracks of the sofa. It looked like Siyu had left it here in a hurry.
After a pause, Fifth Master Lu pulled out the paper and flattened it. On it was a cartoon version of a big demon king with a bull head and a ghost face. It should have been a gloomy and terrifying image, but because it was drawn with five heads and a small body, it looked somewhat comical and cute. The person who drew it also wrote the words "Crazy big demon king harmed me" on the side. The strokes were strong, showing the accusation in his heart.
It was clear at a glance who drew this picture. It was also clear at a glance who the "big demon king" in the picture referred to. Fifth Master Lu carefully sized it up and laughed. "How come you don't look afraid of me now?"
She even dared to brazenly draw him as a demon king, but when facing him, she trembled like a chaff. This little girl was really a Wu Dalang selling tofu — a coward.
Fifth Master Lu originally wanted to throw the picture away, but after thinking about it, he folded the paper and put it away properly.
On the other side, Siyu didn't know that her masterpiece had fallen into the hands of the big demon king. She happily returned home. The group of black-clothed bodyguards spontaneously carried the large pile of medicinal herbs upstairs for her and left in an orderly manner.
Just as she was about to go to bed to catch up on sleep, the new phone she stole from Lu Xingzhou suddenly beeped, indicating that a new message had come in. Siyu picked it up and saw that it was a completely unfamiliar number. She opened it in confusion. There was only one sentence:
"Who is the big demon king?"
“！！！”
Originally, Siyu was quite sleepy, but after being scared by Fifth Master Lu, all her sleepiness disappeared. Then she remembered that the picture she casually drew while venting her anger seemed to … have fallen in the Lu family's villa? It couldn't have been picked up by Fifth Master, right?
Siyu swiped the screen in a mess, racking her brains for a reply. However, her hand trembled and she accidentally pressed the delete button. After the message disappeared, Siyu finally reacted. She stared at the phone screen for a few seconds, then decisively turned it off and threw it aside.
It wasn't that she didn't want to reply, but that she didn't receive it because she turned off her phone. It had nothing to do with her … Siyu shrank back into her bed uneasily. She didn't sleep well that night. She kept dreaming of being chased, so much so that when she woke up the next day, there were dark circles under her eyes.
It wasn't until noon that Siyu received a reply from Yu Ling. She had been forced to drink too much last night and was even helped home when she left. She didn't notice that Siyu had suddenly disappeared. Seeing that Siyu explained that she had left with a friend, she didn't pursue the matter. Instead, she excitedly brought a piece of good news:
"Siyu, let me tell you. I met a director friend of mine at the banquet yesterday. I showed him your cover photo, and he was very satisfied with your appearance. He said that he's preparing to shoot a new movie recently, and there's a supporting actress in it that's very suitable for you. He even recommended you for an audition!"
Shoot a movie? Siyu had never thought about this before. She hesitated and said, "Sister Ling, but I don't have any experience …"
"It's precisely because you don't have any experience that you're starting from this kind of small role to practice!" Yu Ling comforted her. "Don't worry, in a two-hour movie, this supporting actress's total appearance time is less than three minutes. It's a role that's more like a vase, so there's not much requirement for acting skills. And the director is Director Liang, Director Liang Qian. He's the best at teaching newcomers! "
Liang Qian? This familiar name stunned Siyu. She remembered that in her own manga, this director's name had indeed appeared before. At that time, the original Siyu had hooked up with a big investor in order to quickly climb up in the entertainment industry. That investor had paid for the original Siyu to enter Liang Qian's crew, and the role she played wasn't low. She could even be ranked as the second female lead, but … this role had a lot of nude scenes.
In the entertainment industry, taking off one's clothes was a very serious matter. Generally, for the sake of their image, female stars wouldn't accept roles that had too many revealing scenes. So, when the original Siyu made a mistake, the public's impression of her had been ruined. Coupled with her terrible acting skills and the fact that she had brought money into the crew, it didn't look good in the end. Even Director Liang Qian had criticized her on Weibo without naming her. The original Siyu could be said to have picked up sesame seeds and lost a watermelon, so her reputation was even worse.
However, Siyu remembered that the role that the original Siyu had snatched was not a vase role. Could it be that the plot had changed this time? She was a little curious and asked, "What film is it?"
"It's called 'Lethal Beauty'. It's a period drama. Director Liang's films have always been the easiest for newcomers to become famous, so a lot of people are racking their brains to squeeze in. As far as I know, Huanyi arranged for a lot of newcomers to audition, but they're aiming for the first female lead or second female lead. Don't fight with them, just try your best to get a small supporting role." Yu Ling said, "Being able to show your face in a big production like this will be good for your future."
Hearing Yu Ling mention Huanyi, Siyu remembered that she had already signed a contract with Huanyi last night, so she quickly told her about it. Sure enough, Yu Ling was so shocked that her jaw dropped, "What? Signed a contract? "
Yu Ling quickly asked her what was going on, but Siyu vaguely evaded the question. Yu Ling could tell that she didn't want to talk about it, so she didn't ask again. She just said in a daze, "I've been running around looking for connections for you. With your speed, people who don't know better would think that your family owns Huanyi …"
Siyu: "…" She was really being coerced!
Yu Ling digested the news, calmed down, and brought up another matter, "By the way, tonight is the release day of 'Feng Shang ICON'. I'll buy some groceries and go to your house to wait for the results with you. Let me tell you, if the sales this time are good, you'll be famous! A lot of advertisers have already asked me about you. They're all looking at the sales tonight! "
Siyu Ling said, "There's no need to be so grand …"
Yu Ling said, "Why not?"
She did what she said. In the evening, after work, she took a basket of groceries, took her daughter to Beibei, and knocked on Siyu's door.
Beibei had mild autism. She wasn't close to anyone, but she was especially clingy to Siyu. As soon as she changed her shoes, she ran over to Siyu and hugged her waist. She didn't want to let go.
Yu Ling's mother looked at them with jealousy, "Sigh, this child has been asking me to bring her here all day long. A child given is like water spilled."
Siyu smiled and rubbed Beibei's hair. She bent down and whispered in her ear, "Beibei, do you want to read comics? It's sister's new work. The main character is a child like you. "
Beibei blinked and nodded slowly. Although there was no expression on her face, it was obvious from her eyes that she was very happy.
Siyu looked at her and felt a little distressed. Ever since Yu Ling told her about Beibei's autism, Siyu felt that it was a pity. She was clearly a smart and well-behaved child, but because of some defects, she couldn't completely live like a normal child. This inspired her to write a short comic with an autistic child as the main character.
However, Siyu wanted to finish it in one go, so she never published it publicly. Beibei was her first reader.
After settling Beibei, Siyu went to the kitchen to bring out the boiled Chinese medicine. Yu Ling smelled the bitterness as soon as she entered the house. At this time, she saw a pile of medicine boxes in the living room. She curiously looked through them and was shocked, "Siyu, did you find a gold mine? There's so much … how much did it cost? "
"I sold my body for it." Siyu casually made a joke, but when she caught a glimpse of Yu Ling's frightened expression, she quickly clarified, "Don't worry, it was a gift from a friend."
Yu Ling was still suspicious. This pile of medicine was worth at least 100,000 yuan. When did Siyu know such a rich friend? Did she get cheated?
Siyu didn't notice Yu Ling's confused expression. She picked up the bowl and drank the medicine in one gulp. It didn't taste as bitter as it smelled. It seemed that a little licorice had been added deliberately. The taste was within the acceptable range.
After drinking it, Siyu felt the sofa beside her sink. She turned around and saw Beibei sitting next to her with a stack of manga manuscripts. She winked at her and said, "Sister, open your mouth."
Siyu did as she was told. The next second, a sweet candy was stuffed into her mouth.
Beibei shook her small school bag, indicating that she had more and asked Siyu to eat it.
Yu Ling reprimanded her, "Children shouldn't eat so much candy. You'll have tooth decay."
Beibei looked at her mother and then at Siyu. She whispered, "Brother Ji Lin gave it to me."
"Ji Lin?" Siyu paused and asked seductively, "Beibei, did he say anything else to you?"
Beibei thought for a moment and said, "He asked a lot of questions, and they were all related to you. Does he like you a lot?"
The world of children was very simple. Although Beibei was young, she was actually very intelligent. She immediately got to the point. If Ji Lin was present, he would definitely cover her mouth.
Siyu: … Silly brother, the child can see that you have bad intentions. You're still trying to trick her. You're too cowardly!
Yu Ling and Siyu cooked dinner together. Yu Ling even specially brought a bottle of red wine. However, one of the two people at the table was a child and the other was a patient. In the end, the wine ended up in Yu Ling's stomach.
After dinner, Yu Ling moved the computer to the living room. The three of them sat around it. Yu Ling seriously clicked on the magazine's website and muttered, "You must do your best. You must do your best …"
Siyu said helplessly, "Sister Ling, I'm not even nervous yet …"
Yu Ling glared at her.
This time, Fengshang's first batch of magazines was 20,000 copies. Depending on the sales, they would decide whether to restock or take them off the shelves early. Therefore, the sales of this first batch were very important.
The release time was set at 7 PM. When it was time, Yu Ling desperately refreshed the website. However, perhaps because there were too many people, the website was very laggy. It took almost a minute before it refreshed.
Yu Ling couldn't wait to click on it. When he saw it, his eyes almost popped out.
Only 50 seconds before the release time, 20,000 copies of the magazine were sold out!
Yu Ling pinched himself to make sure he didn't see wrongly. He immediately shouted, "Siyu! Siyu, you're popular! You're popular! "
