Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva
Chapter 542: Memories between sisters
The breeze was still blowing. When Tilan and Themisia finished their conversation, only 5 minutes had passed. To others, the whole process was just the girl staring at herself in the mirror and being in a daze for a while.
After the conversation, Tilan had an extra task in her life, which was to investigate the mysterious organization that she had contacted with Themisia, and then obtain further information to understand her own life experience.
However, this task was not urgent. In her opinion, she would have enough spare time and energy to complete it after graduating from college. At present, as a singer, she was still unstable. If she rashly contacted these things, she would only expose problems for nothing.
After putting these thoughts aside, Tilan looked at the time, then stood up and walked out of the conference room.
"President Tilan."
The two people guarding the door saw her coming out and bowed their heads to greet her. However, because of their height, they happened to see the girl's profile when they bowed their heads.
Today, Tilan was wearing a gothic dress. There were a few dark gold hollow butterflies on the black pleated skirt. The wide cuffs were lined with white lining like morning glory. Against the background, the exposed fingers were particularly delicate, like some kind of artwork.
Noticing that the two people's reactions were a bit slow, the girl tilted her head with a little curiosity.
"What's wrong?"
"Ah, nothing." The two people turned their eyes away quickly, panicking in their hearts.
Tilan just shook her head slightly, and didn't pursue what they thought just now.
Seeing Tilan continue to move forward, the two took a few seconds to react, and hurriedly accelerated a few steps to catch up, and then walked along the pace of the girl.
What happened today? It's not like I haven't seen President Tilan before, why am I stunned today? The two people reflected in their hearts at this moment.
Maybe it's because the girl today seems to be more "smart" than usual, or has a different temperament? The two people vaguely concluded in their hearts.
During this period, Tilan's methods were not insignificant, and even decisive. She hit partners with ulterior motives, intimidated company representatives with ulterior motives, punished employees who concealed information, etc. At first, everyone was a little worried that Tilan was too young as a singer and could be easily fooled or used by these old-timers, but after several actions, everyone in the star cluster had to admire this girl.
If young girls can be deceived because of their lack of social experience, a powerful singer is born to be a strong leader.
During negotiations, any loopholes in your mind, lack of confidence, and changes in your emotions will be noticed by the other party. In front of her, you will almost inevitably expose your cards. In terms of business intelligence, even if she can't do it herself, she can entrust multiple professionals to hear the information she wants from multiple angles, and filter out false exaggerations and deliberately concealed and ignored parts in the process.
The dilemma of general leaders is that even with the assistance of professionals, the information gap between the two sides and the trust problem will cause the information obtained by the leader to be distorted, and it will be difficult to make a correct judgment in the end.
This is just the passive aspect. If the singer actively uses her own appeal to persuade the other party, unless it is a high-level extraordinary person, it is difficult to be completely unaffected with a firm will. However, the other party will probably notice this behavior. In order to avoid conflicts, the singers do not use it much.
Taking the elevator to the fourth floor of the building, Tilan saw the members of the document department who were about to leave.
"Hello, President Tilan." More than a dozen people stood up.
"Are you just about to leave?" Tilan saw that they had already printed the contract documents and put them in the bag.
"Yes, we are about to leave." One of the members replied.
"Well..." Tilan thought for a while.
"Take me with you, maybe they have some ideas."
"Yes." Seeing that Tilan wanted to go together, everyone seemed to be more excited.
Then the group came to the special conference hall in a hurry. This was not the small conference room inside the club, but a hall that could accommodate thousands of people.
Here, a group of representatives from various companies who received the news had already arrived. Seeing the black-haired girl and a group of members coming in, they all stood up.
"Good afternoon, Master Tilan."
"Good afternoon, Miss Tilan."
"Greetings, Master Heshia Tilan."
The girl nodded in return, and then sat down in the middle of the hall. There was a seat dedicated to her. The bluestone carved chair was square, and there were rose decorations on both sides of the towering chair back. Depending on the style and name of each singer, these rose decorations often have different shapes.
For example, Tilan's chair has dark purple and black leaves with light blue ice roses on both sides, while Odney's is silver leaves with white and green roses, and Shui Yanqing is aqua blue leaves with pink roses.
After sitting down, the accompanying members will print and issue the prepared documents one by one for these business representatives to review. A buzz of discussion soon sounded at the scene. Tilan on the chair did not stop it, but waited quietly.
About ten minutes later, a member asked the girl in her ear. As the girl nodded slightly, the member stood up, came to the podium, and turned on the microphone.
There was a round of applause, which quieted everyone down, and then he began to speak.
"I believe everyone has just read the re-drafted contract or agreement. If you have no objection, you can raise your hand. We will arrange the signing. If you still have doubts, please write down your demands and hand them to the members of the Star Cluster next to you. They will bring them to the front for President Tilan to respond."
After he finished speaking, some people raised their hands first, and the other representatives looked at him, hesitated a little, and raised their hands as well.
In fact, these contracts have been discussed many times, and they are basically the versions that are closer to their bottom line after the game. Some major issues have been negotiated before. The reason why some representatives still disagree is just because they are worried about the risks, or want to see how others decide.
Seeing more and more people raise their hands, the rest of them couldn't help but raise their hands one after another, fearing that they would be ignored in the end, or offend the singing lady sitting on the stage.
After these days of getting along, they don't think that this seemingly gentle girl is really as easy to bully and fool as she seems. Maybe if she raises her hand too late, the other party will see it and remember it in their hearts.
About half a minute later, seeing the last representative also hesitantly raise his hand, the star cluster members in the hall felt a sense of pride in their hearts, and then secretly glanced at the black-haired Gothic skirt girl sitting on the stage. Seeing that the expression in her eyes was still calm and clear, they felt a little ashamed and felt that they still lacked some self-control.
After all, most of the people present were still students, and it was their first time to come into contact with such a commercial project involving tens of billions or hundreds of billions of dollars, so it was inevitable that they were a little excited.
No wonder the teachers all said that if possible, working with the singer was much better than working in a company, whether it was for ideals or reality.
Standing up with both hands lightly holding the handrails, Tilan glanced at the people present, nodded slightly, then lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands and bowed.
"Thank you for your support." Then she stood up.
"I know that many people are still worried. After all, many projects are very big steps, and it is the first time for many companies to come into contact with them, but everyone should also see the prospects and future contained in them."
"I dare not guarantee that these projects will be a great success, but it is always beneficial to stick to them. If you really encounter difficult problems in the later stage, you can also come to me, and I will try my best to find a way to solve them for you." This sentence made many representatives who were still worried put down the stone in their hearts.
Although the singing girl herself did not have much money, her personal influence was a huge political asset. With her words, even if the cooperation project suffered losses, it could obtain assistance from other aspects and would not lose all the money.
"Mr. Tilan is thoughtful."
"Thank you, Miss Tilan."
The representatives of the companies present expressed their gratitude, and then the two sides signed various contracts and agreements. After all, it was already evening, so another dinner was held.
At the beginning of the banquet, Tilan was still there. She simply paraded around and left early after going through the necessary etiquette procedures. After all, she was not used to drinking. If she had been at the banquet, these people would probably not be able to let go.
"I'll leave the rest to you." Before leaving, Tilan asked some members to stay at the banquet to entertain and maintain a certain order.
"Yes, President."
After returning to the mansion, the girl first took a hot bath, changed out of her Gothic dress, put on a more comfortable nightgown, and then sat in the study room and closed her eyes for a nap, then opened her eyes and looked through the schedule records of these days.
Although she vaguely remembered a lot of things, it was not her own experience after all, so it was inevitable that there were some omissions. It was better to take a look.
An hour later, Tilan closed the record board after flipping through the schedule.
Themisia was really a workaholic. She had hardly taken a break in the past two weeks. She had turned down all the party invitations from Orles, Odney, and Shui Yanqing. If they didn't live close to each other and knew that she was really busy during this period, they would probably think that she was deliberately alienating everyone.
But it was also good. If Themisia really met with these friends, it would be difficult for the singers to lie to each other, and who knows what accidents might happen.
Just when Tilan was about to get up, take a walk, blow the wind, and then go to bed, the door of the study was knocked.
"Come in." She thought it was a maid looking for her, but she didn't expect to see the silver-green-haired Ge Yin.
"Tilan."
Ge Yin was a little timid when she called her name, which was not like her usual style.
"What's wrong, come here." The girl waved her hand and asked Ge Yin to come over.
In fact, the two are of similar age and height, and they get along well with each other, so they shouldn't be so afraid.
Seeing the girl's gentle voice, Ge Yin felt relaxed and happy. This kind of emotional fluctuation was rare before.
After coming to Tilan, Ge Yin lowered his head and hesitated for a while, then took out a chip card from his palm and placed it in front of Tilan.
"This is the information you asked me to find before."
Hmm? The information I asked Ge Yin to find, the girl's eyes moved slightly, thinking that it might be done by Themisia.
"Well, what is stored in it specifically."
She began to recall whether there was any relevant memory, and it seemed that she did recall a little, but it was very faint. It seems that when Themisia asked Ge Yin to find the information, she didn't expect much, but just asked her to help casually. This guy always orders others around easily.
"It contains news or information about organizations related to the study of 'soul' and 'angel prototype'."
Ah, Themisia has started to let people check it, the girl blinked.
"Are there any results?" Tilan took the chip card.
"Many organizations have studied these, but they are all illegal and have been cracked down by the court. Later, even if they are still alive, they disappeared from the Internet," Ge Yin replied.
"It's not surprising. After all, these things are 'taboos' in the Fifth Era." Tilan shook her head slightly, and she couldn't say she was disappointed. She just felt that it would be more difficult to find the mysterious organization in the future.
Seeing that Ge Yin seemed to be hesitant to speak, Tilan held her hand, and a faint warmth was conveyed to her.
"Is there anything you want to say?"
After Tilan grabbed her wrist, Ge Yin's hand trembled slightly, then stabilized.
"Um……"
"Tilan has become a bit strange these days." Her voice was weak. If the two of them were not close, the girl might not be able to hear her.
"Well, I probably had an accident, but I'm recovering now." Tilan thought about it and had no choice but to explain it this way.
"I...actually, I am hiding something from Tilan." Ge Yin hesitated for a long time and finally started to speak.
"I know."
Ge Yin had a simple personality and could not hide things, and in front of a singer who knew people's hearts, Tilan had long noticed that Ge Yin was hesitant.
Tilan knew about it originally, but because she was considerate, Tilan knew and would not reveal it. But Themisia was different. After only a few days together, she realized that Ge Yin was hiding something and was just trying to make it clear. Finally, Tilan didn't like it because she knew how to do it, so she didn't expose it.
Although it was not exposed, the cold gaze that pointed straight into the heart made Ge Yin feel like falling into an ice cave for the first time. He was in uneasiness and panic for several days. It was not until the girl later asked her to find information that she finally felt a little calmer. Get better.
"It's not that I wanted to hide it from Tilan from the beginning, but before..." Ge Yin slowly talked about her experience in high school. At that time, everyone on campus was immersed in the confrontation with St. Ingo. Her life was very complicated. Few people pay attention to her. Although she occasionally interacts with Tilan, they are just ordinary friends.
…
"So then you joined the 'Council of Seven Sages'?" Tilan was a little surprised. She originally thought it would be something big, but it turned out that she just joined an online organization.
"Yes." Ge Yin continued to talk about the past and current situation of the 'Council of Seven Sages'.
…
"It turns out that it is such a big organization and involves so many secrets. No wonder you were hesitant before. It would be difficult for me to speak up."
"Now tell me this, Ge Yin also took a big risk."
"I will try my best to protect you. I think even with such an organization, it will be difficult to touch the people around the singer, especially at the Golden Flame Flower Academy."
…
"From what you're saying, there should be a hidden secret from the federal government within the organization, so it seems to make sense."
…
"Let's do this. Ge Yin can continue to stay in the organization. If there are any sensitive matters involved, you can discuss it with me. In addition, protect your own information and try not to let others know your true situation."
With some comfort from Tilan, Geyin gradually stabilized her mood. Then Tilan took her back to her room to sleep and sang a lullaby beside Geyin's bed, making the child who had been frightened for several days gradually fall asleep.
After returning to her bedroom, Tilan sat in front of the dressing mirror and simply tied her hair up to avoid messing it up when she slept at night. At this moment, the girl's eyes in the mirror blinked and glowed with a lavender brilliance.
"I really can't believe that one of the core committee members of such a large organization is such a simple and timid girl." Themisia said.
"I just scared her before, and then I couldn't sleep for several days, tsk." She didn't really like this kind of weak girl.
"Who can withstand being scared like you? Let alone Ge Yin, I think those business representatives are also quite scared by you." Tilan immediately retorted.
"That can only mean that they have something evil in mind and their will is weak." The girl in the mirror covered her mouth and yawned.
"You were so timid before, why weren't you intimidated by me, and you were still so stubborn?"
"I have been bullied by you a lot since I was a child." Tilan expressed dissatisfaction.
"How did I bully you? I have obviously always taken good care of your timid sister." Themisia was no longer convinced now.
"Do you still remember, when I was in elementary school, you took me to play on the surface one time." Tilan talked about what happened when she was a child.
"That seems to be the case, what's wrong?"
"You didn't tell your mother at the time, so you took me there directly, and then wandered around the open-air market on the ground. There were all adults there, and the environment was quite messy."
"It's nothing like this. Although they were all adults, I was at Sequence 4 at that time. These adults couldn't defeat me at all." Themisia didn't think there was any problem with this at all.
"But I'm scared, and the smell in the market is weird, and some adults have evil intentions."
"Okay, even if you are a little scared, it can't be considered bullying. I remember that many of the goods in the open-air market were damaged items left by the drivers, such as broken electrical appliances and items in poor condition. Fruits, obsolete objects, etc., many things are quite interesting. They are different from those in the regular market. You can also see knives and firearms that cannot be bought under normal circumstances.”
"Look, it's all such a mess. Of course I was scared when I was a child. Later, you took me to play on the rocky mountain and left me on the top of the mountain to slide down by myself."
"I also let you slip, didn't you dare?" Themisia retorted.
"The Yellow Sand Mountain Road is several hundred meters long. For me, who is just over one meter tall, I must be more afraid than excited. I didn't practice the extraordinary sequence at that time, so I'm not like you who can fly."
"Okay, okay, I didn't understand little Tilan's mood, but you still remember it after so many years."
"Of course I remember, because after I went back that day, I cried for a long time in my mother's arms, but she still didn't blame you."
"So little Tilan is jealous and aggrieved, haha."
Maybe I really envied my sister back then, not only because of her high talent, confidence, and brilliance, but also because at that time, although my mother took good care of me, she actually cared more about Themisia.
This is also natural. Even though Themisia is rebellious and not very obedient, the kind of vigorous vitality she exudes is something that I, who is still in the ugly duckling stage, can hardly look up to, so I will be favored by my mother.
Inferiority, sadness, envy, wanting to prove myself, not wanting to admit defeat.
Why I don't want to merge with Themisia, probably because of these complex emotions.
Why I gradually realized these things many years later, but I still don't want to become as decisive and resolute as Themisia, probably because I want to prove that gentleness and rationality are as powerful as that kind of publicity and decisiveness.
