《My Life or Your Memory》Chapter 71: New Talent
Advertisement
Jiang Yingyue sedang berjalan di lantai dasar gedung. Song Liwei baru saja memperkenalkannya kepada sekretaris di meja depan, dan banyak seniman yang berjalan masuk dan keluar dari kantor pusat terkejut melihat pemuda ini secara pribadi dipimpin oleh Song Liwei.
Para seniman ini tidak menyadari hubungan antara Han Qingshan dan Jiang Yingyue; mereka juga tidak menyadari hubungan yang disamarkan di antara mereka. Yang mereka pikirkan adalah bahwa itu adalah bakat baru di perusahaan, bakat dengan latar belakang yang luar biasa karena dia dapat membuat Song Liwei menunjukkannya.
Saat mereka sedang dalam perjalanan kembali ke lift menuju ke kantor Han Qingshan, suara merdu dan sangat menyenangkan terdengar dari belakang.
"Asisten Song, sudah lama tidak bertemu." Mendengar suara itu, senyum yang agak kaku muncul di wajah Song Liwei saat dia berbalik dan menyapa wanita yang berjalan ke arah mereka.
Jiang Yingyue juga berbalik untuk melihat wanita itu. Wanita itu agak mungil. Meskipun dia mengenakan sepatu hak tinggi, dia masih setengah kepala lebih pendek dari Jiang Yingyue, tetapi penampilannya sangat lucu dan menggemaskan sehingga pria mana pun memiliki keinginan untuk melindunginya.
Saat melihatnya, Jiang Yingyue mengerutkan kening. Meskipun dia bukan penggemar berat industri hiburan, dia tahu bahwa orang ini adalah Yu Xiulan, seorang aktris terkenal internasional.
"Ini junior baru?" Dia bertanya dengan suara ramah, sambil menatap Jiang Yingyue dengan mata besarnya yang ramah, senyum penuh teka-teki di bibirnya, dan semuanya dengan suasana ramah di sekitarnya.
Meskipun segala sesuatu tentang dia, dari penampilannya, hingga suaranya yang terdengar menyenangkan, mengatakan bahwa dia ramah, Jiang Yingyue tidak bisa membantu tetapi mengerutkan kening. Ada sesuatu yang palsu tentangnya.
Meskipun Jiang Yingyue baru saja mulai belajar psikologi, itu adalah topik yang menurutnya menarik untuk waktu yang sangat lama, dan dia telah membaca banyak buku tentang masalah ini.
Dia juga menghabiskan banyak waktu mengamati orang lain, belum lagi dia sendiri seorang wanita. Dia punya naluri wanitanya sendiri, dan ini memberitahunya bahwa wanita di depannya itu palsu seperti ular.

Namun, Jiang Yingyue menyadari situasi sulit yang dihadapi perusahaan saat ini, dan dia tidak mampu menghina salah satu dari beberapa selebriti yang terdaftar, yang tetap tinggal, jadi dia mengulurkan tangannya.
"Nona Yu salah," kata Jiang Yingyue dengan suara lembutnya. "Saya bukan bakat baru yang dikontrak perusahaan, saya adalah asisten sementara untuk Han Qingshan."
Mendengar fakta bahwa dia benar-benar tidak merujuk kepadanya karena Tuan Muda Shan sudah cukup untuk membuat Yu Xiulan mengepalkan tinjunya sedikit, tetapi wajahnya tidak pernah berubah ekspresi.
"Jadi kamu adalah asisten baru!" dia berseru seolah-olah dia terkejut mendengar ini. "Wajah yang tampan dan kamu tidak ingin debut? Itu benar-benar buang-buang waktu," candanya. Senyum lucu ada di bibirnya, tapi Jiang Yingyue hanya tersenyum sopan sebagai balasan, menyebabkan Yu Xiulan merasa sedikit kesal.
Dia tidak pernah mencoba untuk menggoda dan bercanda dengan pria lain sebelumnya, tetapi untuk lebih dekat dengan Han Qingshan dia bersedia melakukannya dengan orang ini.
"Apakah kamu menuju ke kantor Tuan Muda Shan?" Yu Xiulan bertanya, dan Jiang Yingyue mengangguk, ingin segera pergi dari wanita ini, tapi sayangnya itu tidak sesederhana itu.
"Kami," jawab Song Liwei, merasa bahwa meskipun Jiang Yingyue sangat serius sebelumnya, dia setidaknya berbicara dengan karyawan yang berbeda dari perusahaan, tetapi saat dia berhubungan dengan selebriti ini, dia tiba-tiba jauh lebih sedikit blak-blakan dan bahkan tidak banyak tersenyum. Apakah itu hanya imajinasinya?
Tanpa memikirkannya lagi, Song Liwei memberi isyarat agar Yu Xiulan dan manajernya mengikuti mereka ke dalam lift.
Sepanjang waktu, Yu Xiulan mencoba yang terbaik untuk berkomunikasi dengan Jiang Yingyue. Tapi sementara Jiang Yingyue sopan dalam jawaban dan ramah saat berbicara, semua orang bisa merasakan ada semacam ketegangan di udara.
Yu Xiulan merasa tidak nyaman. Dia memiliki keyakinan penuh pada penampilannya sendiri dan setiap pria yang biasa dia ajak bicara akan jatuh cinta padanya, tetapi bocah lelaki ini jelas tidak terpengaruh.

Ketika mereka mencapai lantai atas, keempat orang itu menuju ke kantor. Song Liwei mengetuk pintu, dan setelah mendengar suara yang menegaskan dari dalam, dia membukanya dan membawa Jiang Yingyue dan Yu Xiulan ke dalam, diikuti oleh manajer.
Ketika mereka masuk, mereka menemukan bahwa Han Qingshan berdiri di samping jendela dari lantai ke langit-langit dan berada di tengah-tengah panggilan telepon, jadi mereka semua terdiam, tidak ada yang mengucapkan sepatah kata pun.
Han Qingshan mengangkat alisnya ketika dia melihat bahwa bukan hanya Jiang Yingyue yang muncul tetapi juga Yu Xiulan, dan yang lebih mengejutkan lagi adalah dia ketika dia melihat seberapa dekat Yu Xiulan berdiri di sebelah Jiang Yingyue, jelas berusaha mendapatkan perhatiannya.
Yu Xiulan tidak benar-benar tertarik untuk merayu Jiang Yingyue, dan dia sudah siap untuk membuangnya ketika mereka datang ke kantor. Tapi dia merasa rendah diri sepanjang waktu setelah bergabung dengan mereka, karena Jiang Yingyue tidak menunjukkan minat padanya, dan sekarang, bahkan ketika mereka di depan Han Qingshan, dia masih memfokuskan seluruh perhatiannya pada Jiang Yingyue.

Home of Laplace
I opened my eyes to an unfamiliar mountain peak standing tall above me like seeing a skyscraper from the street. Soon the chilling burn of the snow that covered me began to invade my senses and I flung my torso upward, sitting up straight. I grabbed my head in confusion as my eyes surveyed the area around me: The corner of a mountain wall stood menacingly in front of me accompanied by thin, dangerous looking paths on either side. The likes of which only adrenaline-seeking psychopaths would use. I turned my head backwards and felt my heart drop as what looked like an infinitely long freefall met my gaze. I was sitting on the ledge of a snow-covered mountain. "CRKKKK" A heart-shaking croaking sounded from above me further up the mountain and I jolted backwards at the impossibly loud sound. 'Shit, wasn't there nothing behind me?' The sound of cracking stone accompanied the heart dropping sensation of descension. As I plunged down backwards, the last thing I saw was the deep-set brown eyes of that blue-skinned monstrosity further up the mountain. ----------------------------------------------------- Levi Laplace is a former genius biochemistry student that died a simple and laughable death on earth.
