Magical Girl Heavy Dependence

Chapter 31, Stimulation

Even on weekends, Cheng Chen still chooses to come to the company.

The main reason is that he needs to walk his dog, and there is a large, quiet, and spacious green park outside the company where Baiguo can run around freely.

The puppy looked like a big white fluffy ball under the sunlight. Who would have thought that this soft and cute dog was actually a Star Calamity-level monster?

"Producer, may I touch it?"

Someone spoke to me from behind, and when I turned around, I was surprised to see Songlan.

He nodded: "Okay."

As soon as she finished speaking, Baiguo pounced on her adorable older sister.

"Haha, so cute and enthusiastic!" Song Lan exclaimed excitedly. "I've seen it many times at the company before, but Sister Fei never lets us touch it."

She and the puppy rolled around on the lawn together.

It's not actually passion, but rather the scent of magic emanating from you that makes me want to devour you whole.

Jiang Fei didn't let the magical girls get close because she was afraid she wouldn't be able to control her greedy little dog.

Cheng Chen shook his head, deciding not to shatter the girl's image of the cute, enthusiastic white-haired dumpling.

Watching the person and the dog playfully interact, he casually asked, "Does Miss Songlan come to the company on weekends too?"

"Oh, I have an event this afternoon." Song Lan rubbed Bai Guo's head and sighed, "After becoming an idol, there are no rest days to speak of. There are endless announcements and events. I wish I could split one day into two."

"It must have been really tough."

Cheng Chen sighed casually.

Then, on a sudden impulse, he asked, "Miss Songlan, why did you choose to stay?"

"Um?"

The idol, who was interacting with the puppy, tilted his head in confusion.

"Lone Goose," Cheng Chen stated bluntly, "You're the company's top idol; she must have invited you before she left."

"What I want, they can't give me."

Songlan stroked the puppy's neck fur and answered casually.

"Is that so?"

Cheng Chen nodded slightly.

He wasn't familiar with the company's chief executive, but from Jiang Fei's few words, he could tell that she trusted Song Lan a lot.

The conversation ended there, and Songlan didn't seem to mind Cheng Chen's somewhat impolite behavior, continuing to play with the puppy as usual.

Just as Cheng Chen was curious about her, she was equally curious about Cheng Chen.

After the initial contact, she conducted some investigation using her own channels and connections.

Aside from knowing that he was a local of Yincheng and that he had studied at Qiongcheng, thousands of kilometers away, for several years, I gained nothing else.

The resume was too ordinary, too clean, and even looked like a deliberately forged document.

She didn't dare to investigate too deeply, so she gave up there.

The only thing Songlan was certain of was that Cheng Chen was definitely not an ordinary demon.

Curiosity drove her to want to get to know Cheng Chen better, but she was too busy with work and hadn't found the opportunity.

After playing for a while, the girl and the puppy got tired and lay down on the lawn to sunbathe.

Just then, a person came running down the stairs from the company's main entrance.

It is Gao Xiao, Song Lan's full-time assistant.

"My dear lady, you're finally back! The client is frantic, and the host is still waiting to rehearse the script with you. Why are you dawdling like this..."

Gao Xiao was rambling on when she saw Cheng Chen pause, and her brows immediately furrowed.

However, this expression vanished quickly; she soon adopted the professional politeness and said courteously:

"Hello, Mr. Cheng."

Songlan let go of the puppy and got up, her head still covered in grass clippings and her clothes covered in dog hair.

"Haha, I almost forgot. Sorry, Sister Xiao."

She waved goodbye to Cheng Chen, while Gao Xiao, quite displeased, talked to her about work precautions and brushed the dog's fur off her.

The two remained in that position and quickly disappeared through the company's glass doors.

Have you heard about that?

Upon entering the company, Gao Xiao immediately adopted a serious expression.

"Which one? Is it that our vice president is trying to allocate resources to force his trainees to debut quickly? Or did he clash with the association during the emergency hearing?"

"A conflict with the association?"

Gao Xiao was stunned; she had no idea about the second part.

Without hesitation, she immediately replied, "Of course it's the one in front. Songlan, what do you think the CEO is thinking?"

Songlan pretended not to understand: "Weren't you asking about the vice president? Why did you suddenly bring up Sister Fei?"

"Oh my, are you really stupid or just pretending?"

Gao Xiao stamped her foot impatiently. "That person is just a producer that General Manager Jiang found to take over a few substandard and defective products. He was given an extra rank as compensation because of the difficulty of the work. Which of the two things you just mentioned would he dare to make a decision on? It's just a nominal position."

Song Lan smiled knowingly, "Sister Fei never said that the position of Vice President of the Process was a nominal one."

"Cheng Chen is just a tool used by President Jiang."

Gao Xiao shook his head. "He's only been with the company for a few days. He probably hasn't even figured out the company's functional structure yet. How dare he give orders so arrogantly? The company's morale has long since collapsed. The ambitious employees have left with President Qiao, and most of the remaining people are hoping that 'Xianmeng Group' will invest in them."

"President Jiang founded the company single-handedly; it's her hard work, and it's impossible for it to remain silent. The actions of this Vice President Cheng must have been at President Jiang's behest, and the purpose is probably to put pressure on those who are restless in the company."

She was still upset about being scolded by Cheng Chen yesterday, but she was more concerned about the rumors circulating in the company in recent days.

"Why is President Jiang suddenly pushing a trainee who is about to participate in the 'Witch Trial' to debut? Songlan, what do you think his intention is?" Gao Xiao asked.

Song Lan and Jiang Fei can be said to be the two original members of this company.

When Yinfu Entertainment was just starting out and had nothing yet, she and Jiang Fei huddled together in a small single room in Tian'e District, eating and sleeping together.

It's fair to say that the company has survived until now thanks to her presence after Guwu left.

There are countless people outside who have asked Gao Xiao to act as a go-between and persuade Song Lan to switch allegiance, but Song Lan's attitude has always been ambiguous, neither accepting nor rejecting.

In Gao Xiao's eyes, this was an attempt to sell at a higher price.

But regardless of whether she ultimately decides to go to another company or stay, she will undoubtedly become one of the highest-ranking executives in the future.

As a seasoned idol producer, Gao Xiao undoubtedly has a keen sense of the workplace.

Her value is far inferior to Songlan's. If she could know Songlan's thoughts and even achieve a bond with her, it wouldn't be a fantasy for her to rise in status in the future.

Given their current relationship, Songlan has come to trust her completely.

While Gao Xiao was still pondering her inner thoughts, Song Lan shrugged and said, "I've been running around doing gigs for a week, and I'm about to prepare for the concert. Do you think I'd find out, Sister Xiao?"

"Is that so..."

Gao Xiao snapped out of her daze and immediately changed the subject, "Let's go quickly, don't keep the client waiting too long."

After speaking, he took the initiative to walk ahead, looking as if he was focused on his work.

Song Lan glanced at her assistant, finding it somewhat amusing.

Gao Xiao's views represent the views of the vast majority of middle and senior-level employees in the company.

After all, Jiang Fei did not brief the staff before Cheng Chen joined the company to explain the scope of his business. The middle and senior management who remained did not even know that this person existed. After Cheng Chen joined the company, Jiang Fei sent his own secretary to assist him. All work information had to be transmitted through that assistant, which almost completely prevented most employees from having any contact with this vice president alone.

Add to that some unfounded rumors... Cheng Chen was just a spies that Jiang Fei planted in the company.

Many things that she herself couldn't do in person would be promoted in Cheng Chen's name.

Almost everyone knows that Yinfu Entertainment is currently on its last legs, and it may just be one more straw that breaks the camel's back.

Jiang Fei is making a last-ditch effort as a drowning person. Accepting investment from "Xianmeng Group" and drastically changing the management team and restructuring the company are almost a certainty.

But they were still a bit naive.

People always speculate about things they don't understand. They are too far removed from Jiang Fei, so they can't see the truth and can only guess.

Songlan understands Jiang Fei.

If the situation were really that bad, Jiang Fei's actions would not have been so calm.

Her current performance only proves one thing: she has full confidence in the new vice president and believes that he alone is enough to reverse the current decline.

However, she wouldn't tell Gao Xiao these things.

Although they seemed close, Gao Xiao only served as her full-time assistant for a little over three months.

On the contrary, Cheng Chen aroused her curiosity more.

You could count the number of demons with names and surnames in the entire Southern Federation on your fingers. Which one would he be?

What is his relationship with Jiang Fei? What is it that makes the female CEO, who is never polite to men, so infatuated with him?

Why would someone like this come to Yinfu Entertainment? And what gives them the confidence to turn the tide and contend with the legendary Demoness?

One puzzle after another stimulated Songlan's curiosity.

She loves puzzles the most.

The sense of accomplishment when solving a puzzle is the most irresistible thing.

……

A bustling shopping mall.

Yan Xi and Shen Caihua sat in the back row of the chairs prepared for the guests at the new product launch, waiting for the event to begin.

"The magical girl rankings for this month have been updated!"

Shen Caihua scrolled through her phone screen and said to Yan Xi, "Cang Qing's ranking jumped from 161 to 109, a leap of 52 places! Did he really take down six demons all by himself and destroy an entire criminal organization's hideout? There are also related links, let me see..."

"Magical girl Ecrow?"

Upon hearing her friend utter the name, Yan Xi suddenly shuddered.

"A newcomer who just made the list, ranked 209th... Oh, so Cang Qing was with her when she raided the criminal gang's hideout."

Yan Xi's photo was being zoomed in on Shen Caihua's phone, scrutinized from head to toe, which made her toes clench and goosebumps rise all over her body.

"Hmm...it's alright, just average cuteness. Not even a fraction as cute as my Matsuri Ranran."

Shen Caihua gave her final evaluation and then handed the screen to Yan Xi.

"Lulu, look! This magical girl looks just like you!"

Yan Xi's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"She's much cuter than me. How can I compare to a magical girl?" she replied, feigning composure.

"Too."

Shen Caihua put her phone away, then clung to Yan Xi's arm and wailed, "I want to be a magical girl too!"

Yan Xi felt like she had been pounced on by a large dog and could only withstand its force.

After her outburst for a while, Shen Caihua couldn't help but sigh, "When is the event finally starting?! We've been waiting for over an hour!"

"It'll be soon, the poster says 3 PM..."

Yan Xi was comforting her friend when suddenly the air was split open by an extremely dazzling pale pink stream of light. Tiny, crystalline magical light points flew in all directions, accompanied by exclamations from passersby and surging air currents, before landing directly beside them.

Her signature high ponytail, with its flowing gradient pink color, clearly proclaimed her identity.

Magical Girl Matsuri.

"Aaaaaah!!" Shen Caihua roared in battle, "It's Song Lanlan!!!"

Songlan also noticed the enthusiastic little fans around her, and took the initiative to look over and greet them.

Hello everyone.

At that moment, Yan Xi met her gaze.
