Seemingly realizing that his behavior was inappropriate, Zhong Jue covered his lips with one hand and coughed lightly.

I was truly annoyed, wondering what I was doing.

Over the years, he's seen plenty of beautiful women; it's just that this ghostly voice is rather mysterious and strange, but it's not enough to throw him into a panic.

Just as I was about to say something to ease the awkward atmosphere, the kitchen door suddenly opened. I thought it would be Gu Cai who came in, but it turned out to be Lu Xiaoyan, whom I had just met a few days ago.

"Brother Zhong, so you're here too? I was wondering why there were so many people gathered outside."

She was accompanied by a slender, shrewd man of medium height, who also greeted her.

"Brother Zhong."

Zhong Jue nodded, and the embarrassment in her heart dissipated somewhat.

"Brother Zhong, this is Lu Xiaoyan, a newcomer I've been mentoring recently. She just signed a contract today, and I'm hoping Brother Zhong can give her some guidance in the future."

A hint of annoyance flashed in Lu Xiaoyan's eyes.

She tried for several days but still failed. Seeing that other newcomers from the same batch as her had been taken over and were gradually getting their own resources, she hurriedly followed the company's arrangement and became an artist named Li Han.

The problem is that Li Han, like her, is a newcomer to the company with no achievements to speak of, let alone any resources.

While the other girls were busy shooting commercials, she was the only one who stayed at the company every day to see if there were any announcements.

Today, Li Han told her some good news: she had been approached to film a shampoo commercial, and she was initially quite happy.

But who knew that this advertisement was rejected by other artists? Lu Xiaoyan was not going to accept something thrown away by others, so she immediately lashed out at Li Han. Just as she was about to leave, she noticed that people were talking about Zhong Jue bringing ghostly voices to the staff kitchen, so she begged Li Han to bring her here to try her luck.

Although Li Han was very dissatisfied with Lu Xiaoyan's defection, among the artists under his management, Lu Xiaoyan was the most outstanding in terms of appearance and talent. In addition, he really had no way to get resources, so he wanted to ask Zhong Jue if he could pick up some of the ones he didn't want.

Even what's leaking out from under Zhong Jue's fingernails is much better than the resources of the company's 18th-tier artists.

When you need something from someone, you're bound to be overly friendly.

Li Han smiled and said, "This must be Guiyin. I've heard so much about her. Brother Zhong, you're amazing. You've brought out such an outstanding artist. Guiyin is all over the internet now, and even my little niece can sing her songs."

If you want to praise someone, don't praise them for who they are, but praise how successful their career is or how filial their children are. That way you can truly touch their heart.

Zhong Jue had obviously heard this kind of talk many times, but Li Han's words sounded somewhat more agreeable to him, and he was willing to give her some benefits.

"You're quite the smooth talker. I've just come up with a collaboration idea and I'm having trouble finding a suitable candidate. Would you like to take a look?"

Li Han immediately beamed with joy, nodding and bowing repeatedly, "Thank you so much, Brother Zhong. If you ever need any help in the future, please be sure to contact me. I don't have much skill, but I'll do my best to lend a hand."

Zhong Jue smiled but remained silent.

Seeing that Li Han had succeeded, Lu Xiaoyan glanced at Su Ran, who was cooking over there.

A pot of brightly colored scrambled eggs with tomatoes is poured into a plate, its fresh aroma filling the air.

She smiled sweetly and ran to Su Ran's side.

"Ghost Voice, I never expected to see you at the company! I really like you! Can I take a picture with you and get your autograph?"

She clasped her hands together, looking adorably pleading, showing no trace of the hostility she displayed during their first meeting at the company.

Su Ran was unsure how to deal with this two-faced person who hadn't actually committed any harmful acts yet.

If it were Shi Youyou and the others, Su Ran would definitely retort with a sarcastic remark.

It's just a group photo, nothing serious.

"No."

Just as Su Ran was about to agree, another voice refused on her behalf.

Zhong Jue put one arm around Su Ran's shoulder and looked coldly at Lu Xiaoyan.

“Brother Zhong, why…” Lu Xiaoyan’s expression was awkward.

“Ghost Voice is my artist. If I say no, then no.”

Su Ran tried to pull her shoulders away, but the embrace only tightened. She looked up at Zhong Jue in confusion, only to see his beautiful chin and sexy Adam's apple.

This person is really strange. Last time, she deliberately stirred up trouble and Lu Xiaoyan regarded her as a thorn in her side. Now she won't let her take a photo with her.

Seeing that things were not going well, Li Han quickly grabbed Lu Xiaoyan's hand and tried to leave.

Lu Xiaoyan didn't leave, looking at Zhong Jue with sad eyes.

"Brother Zhong, is there some misunderstanding about me? I can explain."

"Are you that important enough for me to misunderstand you?"

These simple, hurtful words instantly turned Lu Xiaoyan's face pale, and tears streamed down her face.

Su Ran didn't expect Zhong Jue to make the fire burn brighter and brighter, bullying someone to tears, and he didn't even intend to clean up the mess.

There was a box of tissues on the kitchen counter. Su Ran took one out and handed it to Lu Xiaoyan.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaoyan had a bad temper, especially when she couldn't control her tears and was seen crying by someone she disliked. She became enraged and lost her temper.

Su Ran felt her waist hit the marble, and the pain made her brows furrow. With a crash, the freshly plated scrambled eggs with tomatoes shattered all over the floor.

Then a roar came from the doorway.

"My food!!!"

A starving figure rushed over, looking at the scattered red and yellow things below with a pained expression.

"Who did this?!"

The moment Lu Xiaoyan saw Gu Cai, she lost her temper and took two steps back.

Everyone in the company knows Gu Cai's nickname, the domineering young master. He has such a fiery temper, yet everyone spoils him, and no one dares to go against him.

Li Han mustered up her courage and stepped forward to apologize.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Gu. My artist was being impolite and accidentally offended Miss Guiyin. I apologize on behalf of my artist."

"Who did they bump into?" The attention was diverted.

"Ghost sound."

I was so focused on being hungry that I didn't notice Su Ran being supported by Zhong Jue.

"What's wrong with your back?" A large hand lifted the hem of Su Ran's blue T-shirt without hesitation.

"It's alright! Hiss~" Su Ran tried to stop her in alarm, but it was too late.

A section of snow-white waist with bluish-purple tinges was exposed to the air.

"Gu Cai, take your hand off me!"

A roar came from above, and Gu Cai's hand froze, as if he had touched a hot pot, and he quickly let go.

He almost forgot that his personal assistant was a woman, and he felt a surge of blame in his heart. It was all because her gender-ambiguous attire was so misleading.

Unbeknownst to them, Su Ran breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Gu Cai had only lifted a small section, and the scar was not exposed.

The skin-nourishing pills were very effective. Her skin was now much smoother all over her body, just like any eighteen-year-old girl with fair and smooth skin. However, the scars on her skin were a big problem, and it would probably take several more days for them to completely disappear.

Unaware of Gu Cai's unnatural expression, and seeing that he was still staring at the scrambled eggs with tomatoes on the ground, she comforted him to prevent him from getting angry again, "I'll make you another one."

This time, Gu Cai shook his head impatiently, "No need, I'm starving, I'll just order some takeout."

Lu Xiaoyan was surprised to find that Guiyin had actually cooked for Gu Cai, and their relationship seemed quite intimate. She immediately regretted her actions!

She learned from Li Hao that, in addition to Zhong Jue, Gu Cai was also a shareholder of Yu Ran Entertainment!

Oh no, how can she repair this relationship?

Upon seeing Su Ran, she immediately had an idea.

After the unpleasant incident in the kitchen, Lu Xiaoyan was eventually pulled away by Li Han.

Zhong Jue took Su Ran to the infirmary.

The doctor on duty was probably in the restroom or something; apart from a desk and a few beds, there wasn't a single doctor in the clinic.

"You lie down for a while, I'll find some medicinal wine."
