After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 203 What's going on? Are we putting on a show of red and white roses here now?

Ye Sanqing returned home, touched the focal point, and stood by the window looking at the night view.

She was well aware of Atai's role; even if she prosecuted the other party for murder, it would ultimately not implicate Lu Wangqian.

It's very likely that Atai will only lose his life in the end, since given the Lu family's situation, they have plenty of ways to do this once they're inside.

Although this guy is stingy, he should have done a good job of taking precautions. If it weren't for Atai's knowledge of some Chinese, he would have kept this matter hidden.

As for winning over adversaries, she did it quite often in her past life.

We said we would recruit talented and extraordinary people, and we really mean it...

Thinking of this, Ye Sanqing noticed a new message coming in on his phone.

She had just sent a message to Sheng Hanyu, complaining about Lu Wangqian's penniless behavior, and Sheng Hanyu was only replying now.

[...He was so poor it was almost unbelievable, and he even wanted to buy one get one free!]

Ye Sanqing couldn't help but chuckle as he recalled Atai's throwing knife from back then.

Atai's every move was deadly, and the fact that he fought Ye Sanqing to a standstill under these circumstances shows that he came with the spirit of exchanging lives for lives, so he certainly wouldn't leave any survivors at the scene.

[You're so stingy! You won't even give me a buy-one-get-one-half-price deal...]

[Was this money saved to buy trending searches for Ye Wanyin?]

[What, there's a new trending topic now?]

No, the trending topic is still about us going on a date today... uh.

Sheng Hanyu added a sweating emoji at the end.

Oh, I see. It's my birthday in a couple of days, she'll definitely cause trouble then. I'll just have to deal with whatever she does.

Okay, I'll make him even poorer in a couple of days.

Just after reading the message, Ye Sanqing heard the doorbell ring.

The one who could come here must be the eldest sister... She waved for Xiaochong to open the door, and after a while, the elevator went up, and Ye Yifan indeed walked in from the door.

"What are your thoughts?" Ye Yifan asked without ceremony, walking directly to the living room sofa and sitting down.

Ye Sanqing went around to the kitchen and took out two bottles of water.

We should have made a few more small insect bodies... but we can get those back in a couple of days, so it's not really necessary.

Ye Sanqing handed the water to Ye Yifan and then sat down next to him.

"Currently, there is insufficient evidence to determine that he had no malicious intent."

Ye Yifan nodded upon hearing this, "That's my assessment too. We can only conclude that he's not a player."

"...If he were a player, the nature of this game would change, wouldn't it..." Ye Sanqing couldn't help but facepalm.

"But you have to understand, what I can see is not the whole picture. And since you are not a player but have taken over the protagonist's body, what if another player comes in? Could you be randomly assigned to someone else? That's not entirely impossible."

Ye Yifan said calmly, "I can only ensure that there are no other players or outsiders now, but I cannot guarantee what will happen later."

“Indeed.” Ye Sanqing nodded. “Then treat them as friendly NPCs.”

"..." Upon hearing this, Ye Yifan glanced at Ye Sanqing.

Are they just friendly NPCs?

If the two got along well on the show before and had a friendly relationship, then what happened in the last two days was completely unnecessary.

The other person is clearly not the type to rely on creating a romantic pairing to generate buzz...

Rather, Ye Sanqing's mindset is too stable. Judging from Sheng Hanyu's current performance, he is at least a relatively excellent candidate for a partner.

Putting aside the issues of this game world, Ye Sanqing showed absolutely no emotional fluctuation towards him, which even Ye Yifan had to admire.

“Of course, if someone who has never appeared before has now appeared, there must be a reason for it. We can consider him as a variable. I will continue to contact him,” Ye Sanqing added.

Actually, he might just be a key part of changing the world.

Since he is abnormal, he is important, and that cannot be refuted.

“Alright, then let’s continue to observe. My cooperation with him will also continue… at least let that Lu fellow suffer a bit first.” Ye Yifan almost burst out laughing when he received the news about the assassin’s reward. It was too absurd. He didn’t know how crazy Lu Wangqian was to do such a thing.

At this point, her tone became sarcastic, "We need to teach him that you get what you pay for."

"Not bad, offering ten thousand yuan to buy my life? That's a joke beyond belief. Are you going to rest here tonight?" Ye Sanqing was about to get up after finishing their business when, unfortunately, the focus of her attention jumped onto her knees, leaving her momentarily stuck.

"I'm going to the guest room, don't worry about me." Ye Yifan picked up the cat, and Jiaozhu was shocked and tried to struggle, but Ye Yifan skillfully grabbed the back of her neck.

"You've ever owned a cat?" Ye Sanqing asked in surprise.

"You must have owned one in your past life. But I can't remember..." Ye Yifan examined the cat for a moment, then casually placed it on his lap. The cat, sensing the warmth of a human, quickly quieted down.

The next few days were peaceful, until Ye Sanqing's birthday.

It was New Year's Eve, and Ye Sanqing didn't plan to hold a big birthday party, so he just casually invited a few people.

The main reason was that Ye Sanqing had just held a homecoming banquet not long ago, and he wasn't particularly fond of these kinds of things, so he thought it would be fine to just do something casual.

Actually, she didn't know many people after arriving in this world, so she called on everyone she could in Ye City. Unexpectedly, everyone expressed their willingness to come.

Although the number of people was small, Ye Yifan did not think it could be done casually; the necessary quality still had to be maintained. Therefore, the banquet was still held at the Haoyue Club.

They simply moved to a smaller banquet hall.

Last time, I needed makeup and jewelry to make a grand entrance, but for my own birthday, I'll just go for whatever's comfortable.

Ye Sanqing chose a relatively light dress, somewhat similar to a modified cheongsam, bright red with embroidered peonies, paired with a fur shawl. Although she hadn't worn any jewelry yet, the effect was already extremely elegant and luxurious, truly deserving of the title "national beauty".

Ye Yifan also provided jewelry to match the outfit, a jade bracelet.

The design is very simple; the only difference is the color, which is imperial green.

Therefore, Ye Sanqing's hairstyle was simply a bun, without any additional decorations.

After all, the patterns and colors of the clothes are already very distinctive, so the other accessories should be kept as simple as possible.

The best is to avoid wearing tiring dresses!

Ye Sanqing was quite satisfied with this. Of course, if possible, wearing sportswear would be best...

However, she also knows that since her current job is related to her appearance, she should try not to be too casual and just aim for comfort and aesthetics.

Cheng Yanye got out of the car at the gate, touched the new ornament around his neck, and weighed the gift in his hand.

His injuries had fully healed, but for some reason, he still went and got a bunch of necklace-like decorations.

Cheng Yanye hadn't expected Ye Sanqing to invite him. To be precise, it wasn't Ye Sanqing who invited him, but rather Ye Jin'er who instructed all the employees of Chang Le Wei Yang to participate...

I wonder if it's reasonable to turn her birthday into a company team building event... Cheng Yanye muttered to himself, looking around, only to see an unexpected person standing at the door.

Ye Wanyin.

For reasons unknown, Ye Wanyin wore only a thin white dress and a very thin shawl in the dead of winter, shivering in the cold wind, looking quite pitiful.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a cheongsam outfit...

Ye Sanqing's outfit for today has already been posted on Weibo. I wonder if Ye Wanyin specially chose the white outfit after seeing it.

What's going on? Are they putting on a show of red and white roses here now?

Cheng Yanye didn't intend to talk to her, because he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't get angry and start arguing with her, so he lifted his foot to walk around her and go inside.

Ye Wanyin was not going to let him off so easily. She ran up behind him and reached out to tug at his clothes.

"Brother Yanye..."
