Rebirth of a Quasi-Immortal Spirit

"Ten years? That's not necessarily true." Gao Zhun smiled and told Ah Zhong to take a good look at the books she had given him. Then she went back to her study, turned on her computer, and sent a resume to the Gao Group. Ten years was for those who couldn't complete the mission. If they could complete the mission ahead of schedule, they could leave earlier.

Because it was during the Gao Group's recruitment season, Gao Zhun received a reply to her resume three days later, indicating that she should attend an interview that afternoon. Upon hearing this news, she smiled. Although the identity arranged for her in this secret realm was not that of a graduate from a prestigious university, she knew that the reason she suffered such a terrible fate in her previous life was because she had secured the qualification to be an interviewer. Being an interviewer for a new employee interview in the group didn't mean much, but it was a stepping stone to entering human resources and moving towards the group's central management. It was conceivable that those older brothers and sisters who had already become central management would not let her get a share of the pie.

Now that she and Ah Zhong have survived their past life, Gao Zhun doesn't think she was the kind of person who would back down easily. Most of the time, she faced challenges head-on. Moreover, having experienced a life-or-death crisis, her vigilance has greatly increased. Now, the person behind the scenes probably only has a dream to realize that they can eliminate her rival from her past life with minimal effort.

Since the interviewer for this interview is her past life, she believes that when her information is presented to her past life, she will have already stepped into the Gao Group with one foot in the door. At that time, she will not only find out the mastermind behind the scenes, but also stir up some trouble in the Gao Group.

Knowing that her past life's body was completely dead, she had no intention of returning to Earth for revenge. Now, having actually achieved this in this secret realm, she realized that this matter was never truly resolved and would eventually become a demon on her path of cultivation, potentially leading her to demonic possession and death. Fortunately, this secret realm exposed the problem beforehand and gave her a chance to sever the karmic ties herself. She no longer complained that this secret realm couldn't hone her and Ah Zhong's combat abilities or improve their strength; eliminating the demon was far more important than temporary power gains.

After thinking it over, Gao Zhun hung up the phone and went to her wardrobe. Opening the closet, she found it filled with modern, seasonal clothes—all purchased in the past three days using the savings from this identity. After all, the house was bought and the loan was paid off; she didn't really care for a car and probably wouldn't drive it anyway; as for other expenses, she and Ah Zhong had already stopped eating, and the savings from Ah Zhong's identity were more than enough to cover their utilities for a while. Besides, wasn't she going for a job interview? She would have a salary from now on, so she didn't need to worry about savings.

After thinking for a moment, she looked at her wardrobe again. She had almost mastered the aesthetics of her past life. The difference in her current height compared to her past self was quite significant; she was almost half a head taller now. This long-legged, mature woman style was something she loved in her past life. It was a pity that her bust wasn't big enough, otherwise she would definitely have gone for the mature woman look. Now, she could only mix some androgynous elements into the mature woman style. She tied her long hair up high and looked at herself in the tall dressing mirror from left to right. Although her face was not as beautiful as her original self, it could still meet the eyes of most modern beauty enthusiasts. With makeup, she could easily score a 95 out of 100. It was just that she looked incredibly lesbian, but this was also a little strategy of hers. Although she had never been in a relationship with a woman in her past life (actually, she had never been in a relationship with a man either), she had the heart of a lesbian fanatic. Now, she had entered her past life's life as a savior, and with this lesbian-inspired outfit, she was sure to win a lot of goodwill.

After taking a shower, she dressed up again according to her previous plan. Her already model-like figure was enhanced by a pair of black high heels. She told Ah Zhong that she would wait for her to come home, and then she went out. Ah Zhong, who had caught a glimpse of her, silently opened Taobao. He also needed to buy some modern clothes to show his heroic image.

The persona she now assumes, Gao Zhun, still bears the surname Gao, but is now called Gao Yue. This is a predetermined identity arranged for her by the secret realm. A graduate of a second-rate university, she studied business administration, barely meeting the hiring standards of the Gao Group. She had already used her past favor to gain entry, but still, unusually, she prepared her interview questions, since she was now pursuing a conspiracy theory approach and couldn't let her past self think she had done it intentionally. Fortunately, she had genuinely prepared to be an interviewer before and now knew the Gao Group's hiring criteria: first attitude, second ability, and then education and appearance. However, a good appearance would certainly garner a lot of goodwill, wouldn't it?

As soon as Gao Zhun stepped out, she hailed a taxi, which took her directly to the Gao Group building. When she saw this building, a symbol of money and glory, again, she could only sigh that things had changed. She had once longed to make a name for herself in the Gao Group and achieve great things, but now she only wanted to completely reshuffle this place that had not only given birth to the nobility but also to evil. She believed that her thoughts were completely consistent with those of her past life, and she would not be constrained in the future.

Upon entering the group's gate, Gao Zhun did not consult at the front desk like other job applicants. Instead, he went straight to the elevator and pressed the button for the 18th floor, where the Gao Group's human resources department was located, which was also the floor where the interview was to be held.

Originally, she had a thousand thoughts swirling in her mind, but now she had calmed down. However, when she reached the twelfth floor, an elevator pause and someone getting in midway gave her an unexpected surprise.

"It's you!" Two voices rang out simultaneously in the elevator. Gao Zhun blinked, silently criticizing the cliché plot of this secret realm.

"Are you also here for the Gao Group's interview?" Gao Zhun decided to take the initiative.

Upon hearing this, Qian Shi smiled, neither denying nor admitting it, but simply changed the subject, saying, "My benefactor, I let you and your brother escape in a hurry last time, but this time I caught them. I'll treat you to dinner after the interview, so don't refuse!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Zhun smiled sheepishly. Wasn't she feeling guilty back then? She thought that she and Ah Zhong were both unregistered residents, which was why she didn't dare to face the police directly. Now that the identity issue has been resolved, she is naturally fearless. Otherwise, she wouldn't have participated in the Gao Group's recruitment.

They soon arrived at the eighteenth floor. After saying goodbye to Gao Zhun in her previous life, she headed in the opposite direction.

Gao Zhun's number was neither too high nor too low. When it was her turn, she tidied herself up a bit and walked confidently into the interview hall.

From the very beginning, Gao Zhun met the gaze of her past life self. Compared to the smiles and deep meaning in her past life's eyes, Gao Zhun's acting immediately took off. First, she showed shock, then her speech became somewhat incoherent, and finally, she completely discarded the interference from her past life. It seemed she was getting into character, even impressing herself with her own acting skills. The interview lasted only three to five minutes, and Gao Zhun was probably the one who shifted her mindset the most. Of course, when she bowed and left, she didn't miss the silent lip movements of her past life self, telling her to wait for her downstairs and then go out to eat together.

Gao Zhun nodded to her past self with a complex and almost imperceptible expression, then left the interview hall and headed towards the elevator. Gao Zhun's preoccupied appearance led those waiting outside to mistakenly believe she had failed the interview, thinking they had one less competitor, and their own tension lessened. Little did they know she was simply too immersed in her role and hadn't yet detached herself from it.

Gao Zhun waited in the reception hall on the first floor for a short while before he saw the figure from his past life. He nervously got up and greeted the other person, saying somewhat awkwardly, "I didn't expect you to be from the Gao Group."

Qian Shi smiled and said, "I never expected you to come to the Gao Group for an interview. Aren't you an actor? Judging from your appearance, you should have a bright future in the entertainment industry. You'll definitely become famous in a few years. Why did you decide to come to Gao Group as a junior employee?"

Gao Zhun had naturally prepared his speech beforehand, and without pausing, he said, "My brother and I were just asked by a friend to make a cameo appearance in a period drama, playing minor roles. We can't be considered real actors."

"It's not convenient to talk here. Come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious." As she spoke, Qian Sheng took Gao Zhun's arm, acting like close sisters. Gao Zhun appeared flattered, but secretly wondered to herself, she had never been this close to anyone in her past life. Her aloof personality meant she didn't have many friends. What was going on now? The plot was getting a bit confusing, and the characters were starting to break down.

Without needing to be told in her past life, Gao Zhun knew where the other person was going to take her to eat—her favorite restaurant from her past life, a place she had once been frustrated by not being able to go to anymore, but now it was being realized in this secret place.

"Set meal A plus a Blue Enchantress." When the waiter brought the menu over, Gao Zhun subconsciously ordered, and her voice echoed that of her past life. Sure enough, she saw the surprise in her past life's eyes.

"This restaurant is delicious, but it's located in a remote area, so few people know about it. I didn't expect that you, Gao Yue, had been here before. It's amazing that we have such similar tastes." In her past life, she didn't think there was anything wrong with bringing Gao Zhun to a restaurant that the other person had already been to. In her eyes, this restaurant was the best, and Gao Zhun felt the same way.

The dinner party quickly came to an end, and Gao Zhun and his predecessor exchanged contact information and a reading website.
