Chapter 475 - 154: Banshee
"If you can meet Boss He tonight and leave a good impression... the subsequent endorsement contract would just be a matter of his word. You don’t understand this?"
In the artist’s business car, the vehicle was smoothly traveling. Apart from the driver, there were Lin Xianyu and her agent, along with two young assistants sitting quietly in the last row.
"If some noble’s son or a second-generation rich kid were interested in you, I definitely wouldn’t entertain the thought tonight. But as you saw, that young man isn’t interested in you; he came with his girlfriend. His girlfriend is your fan, what a great opportunity!"
The agent continued her chatter, Lin Xianyu sighed gently, stopped speaking, and lowered her head, though her eyes still held some unease.
The other party is likely a cultivator! That Qi Observation Skill must have revealed my problem!
However... should not look for trouble with me, right?
I never commit any wrongdoing in my life.

Chairman He’s dinner was set at a private club by West Lake.
This place isn’t large, a small garden but is said to have a long history, with extremely skilled chefs stationed there, usually not open to the public, operating on a reservation system.
Before Chen Yan’s car arrived, Assistant Liu had already sent the message ahead.
As soon as the car parked in the club’s internal parking lot, Chen Yan got out and saw Boss He standing at the garden gate waiting.
Chen Yan got off the car, leading Lu Sisi over, and smiled at Boss He, "Chairman He, long time no see."
"Teacher Xiao Chen, hello." Chairman He seemed to be in a good mood, offering his hand for a handshake with Chen Yan.
Seeing Chairman He’s polite demeanor, Chen Yan was moved... This attitude wasn’t just a matter of returning a favor, but perhaps he also has something to request?
"This is my girlfriend, Lu Sisi." Chen Yan added, introducing the person beside him, Chairman He was equally friendly, offering compliments like being a talented couple, well-matched, and similar phrases.
Yet, when seeing Lin Xianyu approaching with her agent, Boss He’s attitude wasn’t as humble, merely nodding with a polite smile as a greeting.
The agent’s eyes sparkled, for she saw this Boss He personally waiting at the parking lot gate.
For a billionaire listed on Forbes to stand at the garden gate waiting, this young person’s identity is even more intriguing.
In fact, there were only four people at the dinner table: Chen Yan, Lu Sisi, Boss He, and Lin Xianyu.
The agent and others didn’t qualify to join the table, instead went to another room for dinner.
At dinner, Boss He merely spoke with Chen Yan, whereas Lu Sisi sat with Lin Xianyu.
Actually, Boss He felt a bit helpless—he wanted some advice from Chen Yan but didn’t expect Chen Yan to bring Lin Xianyu, such a female artist.
In Boss He’s eyes, such a female artist held no value—being the spokesperson for a brand under his control was trivial.
No matter how popular the artist is, so what? There are so many popular artists; why not use others?
The relationship between artists and brands always keeps artists subordinate.
As for women... Boss He never placed much importance on female charm; no matter how pretty Lin Xianyu is, it hardly interested him.
Chen Yan observed Boss He, wearing the Jade Token given by the old fox You Su Yi, which could shield demonic qi as a magical artifact.
Chen Yan nodded, pointing at Boss He’s Jade Token with a smile, "Let me take a look at this item."
"Sure!"
Boss He promptly took it off and handed it over with both hands to Chen Yan.
Chen Yan held it, gently injected a trace of primordial qi before returning it to Boss He.
The magical artifact was also aged, and as the primordial qi depleted, its effectiveness gradually waned. For now, Chen Yan recharged it a bit.
While Chen Yan infused the primordial qi, Lin Xianyu, who was chattily interacting with Lu Sisi, couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows and instinctively glanced at Chen Yan.
But this woman was prudent, pretending to casually look before quickly withdrawing her gaze, continuing to chatter with Lu Sisi about entertainment industry gossip and idle talk.
After several rounds of drinks and five flavors of dishes, Chen Yan feigned rising to leave for the restroom.
He stepped out into the garden, visited the restroom, but didn’t return immediately, instead wandered in the garden, glancing at the scenery.
Under the night sky, the club’s small courtyard exuded an ancient charm, possessing a certain elegance.
Chen Yan stretched lazily, suddenly hearing footsteps from behind.
The person approached openly, confidently walking up behind Chen Yan.
Chen Yan turned, unsurprised to see Lin Xianyu standing before him.
In close proximity, viewing this popular top-tier starlet, her beauty was indeed remarkable—yet somewhat eerie.
Her charm exceeded her physical beauty.
Chen Yan didn’t speak; he merely smiled while quietly watching Lin Xianyu.
Lin Xianyu sighed, slightly bowing, "Greetings, fellow cultivator."
Hmm?
Chen Yan raised his brows, dropping the façade, huh.
"No need for formalities, fellow cultivator." Chen Yan replied coolly.
Lin Xianyu’s eyes shifted, cautious, "I wonder why this fellow cultivator sought me out today, any teachings?"
"You have good fortune." Chen Yan slowly said, "I came today just to take a closer look at you. If there were issues..."
Saying this, Chen Yan shook his head, "But you’re fortunate; I’ve observed your fate and fortune. Despite having demonic qi, your fortune holds no killing karma or evil qi."
Lin Xianyu trembled a bit, displaying a fearful expression, "Fellow cultivator, you’re right! I...I have never killed someone."
"That’s good." Chen Yan nodded, smiling, "Otherwise, I wouldn’t be standing here speaking with you. Instead, I’d be at your residence tonight, taking your life."
