Special Agent’s Rebirth: The Almighty Goddess of Quick Transmigration - Chapter 350
Ye Ruxue was, of course, well aware of Ye Shaohua’s crush on Chu Yan.
She had gone to that ordinary apartment building looking for Ye Shaohua once and had caught Ye Shaohua staring intently at Chu Yan.
She had thought bringing Chu Yan to see Ye Shaohua would provoke a reaction of surprise, but the other girl hadn’t seemed shocked at all. Ye Ruxue had found it strange at the time, but now she finally understood.
“I’m here to meet a friend,” Ye Shaohua replied flatly, then walked into the hotel.
“I’ve never known her to have any friends,” Ye Ruxue said in a soft, delicate voice.
Chu Yan didn’t respond. Although his expression remained gentle, a trace of impatience and a cold glint of disgust flickered deep in his eyes.
“Let’s go,” Chu Yan said, not wanting to waste any more time on Ye Shaohua. “The producers are waiting for us inside.”
Mentioning this, Ye Ruxue immediately nodded.
The reason she had come here with Chu Yan today was precisely for the adaptation of ‘Gods of the Firmament.’
Ye Ruxue was aware of her own strengths. Her voice and appearance were both excellent, and she had a particular talent for voice acting, which had given her the idea to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. ‘Gods of the Firmament’ was her chance for a breakthrough.
While they were busy sneering at Ye Shaohua and fantasizing about the future, Ye Shaohua had already arrived at the private dining room.
President Tian and Wu Kai had been waiting for some time. Seeing a message on his phone, Wu Kai said excitedly, “She’s here!”
Right on cue, a server was leading someone in.
President Tian immediately put on his warmest, most amiable expression and turned around. “Miss Yeliu, you—” His words trailed off as he froze.
Ye Shaohua had just removed the cap from her head. She addressed the group, “Hello, everyone. Sorry I’m late.”
She was young, her demeanor calm and composed, giving the impression of being thoughtful. Her smile was measured, and her eyes were astonishingly bright. Her features were exquisitely defined; though her face carried a hint of roundness, it did nothing to diminish their delicate beauty.
President Tian knew Yeliu was a woman, but it had never occurred to him that she would be this young! That’s why he was stunned.
As for Wu Kai, although he had anticipated it, actually seeing Ye Shaohua in person still left him shocked by just how young ‘Yeliu’ was.
“No need to call me Yeliu; it’s just a pen name,” Ye Shaohua said, taking a seat next to President Tian and raising her glass slightly towards them. “My surname is Ye.”
Despite her youth, facing a table of people much older than her, she effortlessly commanded the room. Even these seasoned veterans felt a sense of respectful quiet in her presence. This aura alone left President Tian and the others with no doubt about her identity.
They understood perfectly well that without the corresponding capability, one could never exude such presence.
Wu Kai and the others promptly raised their glasses, smiling broadly. “Miss Ye, I’m Wu Kai, the one who’s been calling you every day.”
Although they were burning to ask about the copyright issue, Wu Kai and the others didn’t dare broach the subject directly at this moment.
“Actually, ‘Gods of the Firmament’ hasn’t been fully serialized,” Ye Shaohua said, taking out a document and handing it to Wu Kai. “This is the true final chapter.”
In this world, ‘Gods of the Firmament’ had been left unfinished, ending on a cliffhanger for the audience. Though if taken as a tragic ending, it could still be considered concluded.
Ye Shaohua remembered in her original world, the final chapter had been on her computer. She had just finished revising it when she received the order. She had planned to publish it after meeting with the FBI Director that evening. She never got the chance to update it, however, before her unexpected death and subsequent binding to the System 008.
She hadn’t expected to encounter it again in this world.
Wu Kai took the document and, without regard for the others, immediately lowered his head to read it.
By the end, his eyes were brimming with tears. No further proof was needed. The person before him was undoubtedly the great Yeliu!
“Here is the contract,” Wu Kai said, his eyes still slightly red. He didn’t feel embarrassed in front of President Tian and the others. “Miss Ye, please take a look. If everything is in order, we can sign it right away.”
Watching this director, a strict and formidable figure at the pinnacle of the entertainment industry, now beaming with joy like a child, President Tian thought to himself that if the big shots in the industry saw this, they’d be utterly astonished.
Ye Shaohua took the contract and flipped through it. It only took her a few moments to finish.
“Pen?” She gestured towards Wu Kai.
Wu Kai and President Tian were taken aback. “Miss Ye, aren’t you going to review the contract?”
Wasn’t this a bit rash? This was signing a contract! She just skimmed through it and now wanted a pen? Wasn’t she afraid they might try to take advantage of her?
“I’ve read it,” Ye Shaohua said, glancing at them.
Hesitantly, President Tian handed over a pen. Although he was thrilled to secure the rights to ‘Gods of the Firmament,’ Ye Shaohua’s approach… if she were dealing with a less scrupulous businessperson, she could suffer significant losses.
Ye Shaohua took the pen and signed her name.
Seeing President Tian’s hesitant expression, she recited a line of text.
President Tian looked up, bewildered, not understanding what she meant.
“That sentence is on the second page, third line from the bottom,” Ye Shaohua said with a slight smile. “Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”
Hearing this, President Tian immediately flipped to the second page of the contract, and Wu Kai leaned over to look as well.
After reading it, both men stared, dumbfounded.
The others, who hadn’t seen the text, also realized that what Ye Shaohua had quoted must have been perfectly accurate.
They couldn’t help but marvel: indeed, a true master was a true master, not something ordinary people could compare to.
The group finished their meal in high spirits and left the private room.
As they reached the staircase, they ran into people exiting the neighboring room.
“President Tian,” Chu Yan said with a smile upon seeing him. “My apologies, but this time, it seems our Tianhuang Entertainment might take the lead.”
President Tian, still riding the wave of his happiness, didn’t take Chu Yan’s provocation to heart. “Is that so?” he replied mildly, his response carrying little weight.
Chu Yan detested these self-important veterans of the entertainment industry acting all composed and superior in front of him, just like the old-timers in his own company.
But that wouldn’t be a problem for much longer. Soon, he would secure the rights to ‘Gods of the Firmament’ and make them all recognize Chu Yan’s capabilities!
He shot President Tian a thin, insincere smile and turned to leave with his entourage.
But Ye Ruxue, standing beside Chu Yan, had spotted Ye Shaohua. She stopped in her tracks, her expression one of disbelief.
“Ye Shaohua? What are you doing with Director Wu and his group?”
