Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

1427 Director Wang’s Solicitousness

As soon as Chi Shuyan went downstairs, everyone sat down to eat. She was the last to arrive. Just as she was about to walk over to her seat, Director Wang and the others hurriedly stood up and warmly and solicitously invited her to sit down.

Seeing that she had been given the seat next to Qi Zhenbai, Chi Shuyan thought of the traces of baleful aura and cadaveric qi left in the room just now. She stared intently at the man next to her, trying to see something. Unfortunately, after staring at him for a long time, she didn’t sense the slightest bit of baleful aura or cadaveric qi on Qi Zhenbai.

Moreover, if it were anyone else, they might be tainted by the cadaveric qi and baleful aura, but Qi Zhenbai was an exception. With the purple aura around him, it was unlikely that he would be tainted with cadaveric qi and baleful aura.

Thinking this, Chi Shuyan retracted her gaze and sat down. As soon as she sat down, the man beside her picked up food for her and placed it in her bowl.

Chi Shuyan realized that the other party was picking up all her favorite food, and her expression couldn’t help but be a bit complicated. Everyone else who saw Qi Zhenbai’s actions also had complicated and probing gazes. Director Wang, Yan Zhengming and Song Yanru were the most curious, and wanted to know what their relationship was.

Master Chi’s extraordinary identity aside, Director Wang, Yan Zhengming and Song Yanru were all used to the world. What kind of background and imposing figure hadn’t they seen before?

But they really couldn’t see through the tall man next to Master Chi. Not only that, his aura was too powerful. He just sat there without moving or saying anything, but no one dared to ignore him or even breathe loudly. The aura he exuded was terrifying. This was the first time in Director Wang’s life that he had seen such a person.

For a moment, Director Wang couldn’t guess who the man next to Master Chi was.

Otherwise, he would have stepped forward to persuade him to enter the entertainment industry and sign under him just because of his looks, which were too perfect.

Director Wang wasn’t really obsessed with looks. What he valued for his works was acting skills. There were many good-looking people in the industry, but there was really no one as good-looking as the man next to Master Chi. Even if the other party’s acting was terrible, Director Wang wanted to sign him. He would definitely be a money tree.

It was a pity that the other party’s aura was too strong and he had a rare regal bearing. Director Wang didn’t dare approach him, and his intuition told him that he couldn’t afford to offend the other party.

While Director Wang and the others were deep in thought, Feng Yuanlin, Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming greeted Chi Shuyan one by one.

Brother Feng was sitting on Chi Shuyan’s other side, and Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming were next to him. Xiao Shan couldn’t help but lean across to Chi Shuyan and mutter softly, “Sister-in-law, you finally came downstairs. Before you came, no one was talking!”

Of course, Xiao Shan knew the reason for the awkward silence at the table. It was mainly because President Qi’s face was too cold. It had been painfully awkward. Speaking of which, Director Feng was uncharacteristically quiet tonight. Fortunately, it wasn’t long before Master Chi came downstairs, and the atmosphere gradually returned to normal.

Chi Shuyan thought that Xiao Shan was joking with her. With Brother Feng around, how could there be an awkward silence? The others might be afraid of Qi Zhenbai, but Brother Feng and Qi Zhenbai had an extraordinary relationship. They had been friends since they were young, so it was naturally impossible for Brother Feng to be afraid of him.

So, Chi Shuyan blinked at Xiao Shan and smiled. “Okay, I understand!”

As soon as she said that, a pair of large hands beside her immediately turned her head forcefully, and she heard the man’s magnetic and powerful voice. “Eat first and don’t flirt with other men!”

Before Chi Shuyan could understand what the man was saying, Director Wang got up and offered her a toast. He was very grateful to her for taking them out of Dashan Village. After saying that, he downed three cups.

Chi Shuyan was quite familiar with the drinking culture here. In the past, she would have given the other party some face and toasted him back, but the sky would turn bright in three or four hours. If everyone toasted each other, they probably wouldn’t need to rest. After Chi Shuyan finished a cup of wine, she found an excuse to stop everyone from toasting her. As for leaving Dashan Village, that could be considered everyone’s good fortune.

Hearing how modest Master Chi was and seeing that she didn’t put on airs, Director Wang was even more moved. “Master Chi is indeed an expert who hides her true capability!” He felt more and more that Master Chi was a true expert. Anyone else who didn’t have much ability or was only a half-baked practitioner would already be putting on airs.

Director Wang wasn’t the only one who thought so. Yan Zhengming, Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun and Song Yanru all thought the same.

Director Wang and the others, who were in the entertainment industry, had seen many such people.

It was rare to meet such a capable expert, so they naturally had to cozy up to her.

Thus, Director Wang and the others at the table became even more enthusiastic toward Chi Shuyan. The topic revolved around her and they took the initiative to talk to her.

Director Wang was particularly solicitous. This was the first time Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun, Yan Zhengming, Song Chu, Cao Zhengsong and Song Yanru had seen Director Wang like this.

It gave Chi Shuyan a headache.

Director Wang had so much time to talk nonsense with her, but Chi Shuyan didn’t have that much time to spare. She had spent a lot of time in Dashan Village. She didn’t forget that she had promised to give the Jing family Spirit Gathering Pills tomorrow, but she hadn’t refined them yet. If she broke her promise during her first cooperation with the Jing family, it would be hard to say what would happen in the future. Chi Shuyan didn’t want to be someone who broke faith, and would have to spend some time making the pills tonight.

After eating a few mouthfuls of rice in a hurry, she immediately found an excuse to go back upstairs. She said that she had to send food to Aunt Miao. It just so happened that she hadn’t seen Aunt Miao at the table. She was probably taking care of her child and didn’t have time or was too worried to eat. Chi Shuyan simply ladled out an extra bowl of rice and picked up a lot of food. Before she left, she said politely, “Everyone, take your time! I’ll go upstairs first!”

As soon as Chi Shuyan left, the atmosphere at the table gradually froze again. After that, Xiao Shan, Wu Haoming and Brother Feng took the initiative to find a topic to talk about, but unfortunately, it didn’t have much of an effect.
