After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

Jingzhou also has a nickname: "Green City".

The reason is the abundance of vegetation; the tree coverage rate in the city is as high as 70%.

Therefore, even a unit like a television station is decorated like a garden, with lush trees and a sizable garden.

Ye Bai only heard the conversation when he walked near the garden.

"Director Li, are you really going to just stand by and watch that bitch Tong Yan steal the position that rightfully belongs to you?"

A somewhat shrill female voice rang out, her tone carrying an unspeakable jealousy and resentment.

"Sigh, what can I do if I don't want to? She's a famous host, and the station director values ​​her highly. How can I possibly compete with her!"

A man sighed heavily, clearly unwilling to accept the situation.

"Director Li, you mean that girl with the youthful face, could she be the station director's mistress? I think she looks lewd, definitely the kind of vixen who's very good at seducing men!"

The woman asked again, her voice trembling with rage.

"You can't say things like that! If the station director hears us, neither of us will keep our jobs!"

The man gave a low reprimand, then whispered, "Spend more time with Tong Yan during this period, and try to gain her trust. I'll tell you the next steps then."

"Okay, Director Li, I'll do whatever you tell me."

The conversation ended there, and then a man and a woman came out from behind the garden.

The man was around forty years old, wearing thick black-rimmed glasses, dressed smartly, and looked very refined.

The woman was much younger, in her early twenties, with a slender figure and quite attractive.

However, her eyes are a bit long and narrow, giving her a flirtatious yet mean-spirited look.

From a physiognomy perspective, these two are a perfect match, one being outwardly virtuous and the other inwardly malicious.

Upon seeing Ye Bai nearby, the two of them subconsciously frowned and carefully examined him for a few moments.

Only after realizing that Ye Bai looked unfamiliar did he feel relieved and hurriedly leave.

"It seems that Tong Xiaoniu's days at the TV station are probably not going to be too easy..."

Ye Bai smacked his lips, somewhat puzzled as to why someone from such a prominent family like Tong Yan would choose to work in a place like this.

Is it just because of so-called ideals, hobbies, and interests?

They could have been big spenders, but they chose to be slaves to others. Their level of self-sacrifice is truly astounding.

However, he and Tong Yan weren't that close yet, and Ye Bai was too lazy to worry about her. Finding an opportunity to remind her was already fulfilling his responsibility as her "best friend's husband."

"Young master, you missed out on hundreds of millions by not going up there! TV stations are so much fun..."

Soon after, Shen Lu returned, her little face full of excitement, chattering away and pulling Ye Bai along.

This girl has watched a lot of TV, but this is her first time in a place like a TV station, so she naturally finds it incredibly novel.

"By the way, son-in-law, I think that old man is plotting something against Miss Tong!"

As she spoke, Shen Lu began to get angry.

"Old man?"

Ye Bai was taken aback, not understanding why.

This little girl probably has a bit of a brain problem; sometimes she talks incoherently.

Soon, Ye Bai learned the identity of that "old man".

It turned out to be Dongfang Wen, the director of Jingzhou TV Station.

According to Shen Lu's description, the station director, who was over fifty years old, tried his best to hide his desires when looking at Tong Yan, but Shen Lu still discovered the clues.

That old guy almost embedded his eyeballs into Tong Yan's body several times.

Furthermore, the act of swallowing saliva was truly utterly lewd and disgusting.

"It's alright, Tong Yan isn't a child anymore, she can handle these things herself."

Ye Bai smiled and shook his head, not worried at all.

She's already in her twenties, yet she's still able to remain chaste. This means that not only is Tong Yan conservative and traditional in character, but she also definitely has the ability to protect herself.

Otherwise, a beautiful and attractive female host like her would have been harmed countless times.

It's true that Ye Bai isn't interested in women, but that doesn't mean he has a problem with his aesthetic sense.

He can certainly tell whether someone is pretty or not.

Although her youthful appearance and temperament were slightly inferior to Qin Wanqing's, she was still comparable to Zhu Daji, the eldest daughter of the Zhu family.

Among all the women Ye Bai has ever met, she is definitely among the top few.

Any normal man would feel desire for this kind of woman, but he could probably only dream about it.

After leaving the TV station, Ye Bai and Shen Lu went to the bank and withdrew 500,000 yuan in cash.

At first, the bank refused, citing the lack of an appointment and the reason for the withdrawal. In the end, Shen Lu found the bank manager and mentioned the Qin family's name, and only then was the withdrawal successful.

In fact, compared to withdrawing cash, transferring money is undoubtedly much more convenient.

However, there is an unwritten rule in the ghost market that all transactions are conducted in cash to avoid leaving a criminal record.

Ding Shuai used cash to buy things for Ye Bai, so naturally he needed cash to make up for the shortfall.

"Old Ye, we can't let you leave today, no matter what. We brothers have to have a few drinks together!"

Seeing that Ye Bai had come to repay the money so quickly and without missing a single penny, Ding Shuai felt helpless and could only try to get Ye Bai drunk.

Ye Bai didn't refuse this time. Just because he doesn't like drinking doesn't mean he can't drink.

At first, Shen Lu found it quite amusing to listen to the two grown men drinking and bragging.

But when Ding Shuai's tongue started to slur and he began to repeat himself over and over, the little girl completely lost interest. She told Ye Bai and went to wander around the ghost market by herself.

Knowing that Shen Lu had been here several times before, Ye Bai did not stop her.

Shen Lu wasn't like Qin Shuang, a complete weakling; she was a little Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Even if we encounter real danger, others should be the ones to worry.

Having not seen his old friend for a long time, Ye Bai naturally didn't hold back and simply drank freely.

In the end, Ding Shuai vomited no less than five times, and finally fell asleep hugging the toilet.

Ye Bai was only five or six parts drunk, and could still drink at least five rounds of Ding Shuai's drinks.

Ye Bai lifted Ding Shuai onto the sofa, covered him with a blanket, and then brewed himself a pot of tea.

His preference for tea over alcohol is actually due to this reason.

With such a high alcohol tolerance, getting drunk is simply a luxury.

Just as Ye Bai finished brewing the tea and hadn't even had a chance to drink it, Shen Lu suddenly rushed back in a flurry.

"Young master, young master, I saw Taoist priests in black robes! Guess who they were with?"

As soon as she entered the door, the girl started making a fuss.

"A Taoist priest in black robes? A disgrace to the Xuanmen sect?"

Ye Bai, his eyes wide, didn't bother to drink his tea anymore and stood up, saying, "Where is it? Take me there."

If those scoundrels from the Xuanmen sect are related to other people, Ye Bai won't bother with them as long as he doesn't provoke them.

After all, "scoundrels" are something that can never be completely eradicated.

If he knew about it and took care of it, he wouldn't have to do anything else in his life.

However, since Chen Jingmei, Qin Wanqing's stepmother, had some interaction with him, Ye Bai naturally couldn't just sit idly by.
