I Want to Be Your Ancestor? Go to Hell

In the end, Fu Boyan was tied up and hauled away by his big brother.

Zhu Yu happily returned home, cheerfully opened a bag of snacks, and lay on the sofa eating.

When Zhu Yu arrived at the company the next day,

he suddenly noticed that the staff from every department seemed a little restless.

Many people were expectantly staring at the company entrance.

"Good morning, Assistant Zhu." Xiao Zhuang jogged into the elevator.

"Morning. Is someone coming to the company today? There are quite a few people at the entrance."

"Today? Oh, right. The Product Promotion Department invited Guo Linlin to take promotional photos."

Xiao Zhuang thought seriously for a moment, then suddenly remembered the message a friend from the Promotion Department had sent him yesterday.

"Guo Linlin?" Zhu Yu frowned. She seemed to be the female lead of the movie they had discussed over dinner with Director Willet last time.

She was a strikingly beautiful woman, but the way she had looked at people back then had not left Zhu Yu with a favorable impression. That woman had big ambitions.

"That's right. Didn't President Shen invest in the new movie she's filming right now? The Product Department happened to have a newly developed electronic product, so they invited her to be its spokesperson. Of course, given her current status, she couldn't possibly endorse all of Shen Corporation's products, so she's only endorsing one product."

"At first, the head of the Promotion Department was still a little hesitant."

"But her popularity has been pretty high lately. Her manager, Brother Yang, has some skills. Not only did he get her onto popular variety shows, but he also got her the second female lead role in a recently successful TV drama."

"On top of that, she's very skilled at promoting herself online, so she has quite a good reputation among ordinary internet users."

Zhu Yu nodded after hearing Xiao Zhuang's explanation.

But Zhu Yu did not think much of it. After all, he had nothing to do with the Promotion Department.

That was until he returned to his office and received an order from his big boss.

Go check on the Promotion Department.

Only then did Zhu Yu reluctantly head over to the Promotion Department.

The head of the Promotion Department was a highly capable woman, Mu Yun.

Mu Yun looked a little surprised when she saw Zhu Yu. "Assistant Zhu, what wind blew you over here?"

"Director Mu, it's only been a few days, and you've gotten prettier again. The boss asked me to come take a look. I heard you're taking promotional photos, so I came to broaden my horizons."

Zhu Yu wore a smile on his face.

"Assistant Zhu, you're too kind. Your presence in our department truly brings us honor."

"Director Mu, you're far too modest. With someone as beautiful as Director Mu holding down the Promotion Department, even if I hadn't come, the Promotion Department would still be this." Zhu Yu secretly raised a thumbs-up.

"The boss often tells me that our company's Promotion Department is exceptionally capable."

"The boss thinks too highly of us."

The staff from the Promotion Department, along with Xiao Zhuang who had followed Zhu Yu over, looked at the two people lavishly praising each other and sighed.

This was why they could not become department heads. They simply could not flatter people like that.

Still smiling, Zhu Yu glanced at Director Mu in front of him. I didn't expect there to be someone in this company who could talk even better than me.

Mu Yun also secretly glanced at Zhu Yu. As expected of the head of the Assistant Office. His mouth never stops moving. My throat is already dry from talking. Maybe I should just admit defeat.

When the two finally stopped, Xiao Zhuang perceptively handed each of them a cup of water.

Zhu Yu took a sip to wet his throat. He had nearly talked himself hoarse.

Mu Yun's voice was already raspy. If they kept going for another half hour, she might not even be able to speak tomorrow.

Just as the Promotion Department fell silent, a commotion suddenly arose at the entrance.

The glass door opened, and Guo Linlin walked in wearing a pure black dress and black sunglasses.

Behind her were her assistant and her manager, Brother Yang.

"Ahhh, it's Guo Linlin! I really love the Dragon Girl she played. I love this kind of second female lead who dares to love and hate."

"Exactly! Her variety show presence is incredible too. She's a cute, airheaded beauty, but every time she zones out, she does something unexpected."

"I heard she's filming Director Willet's new movie now. Isn't she totally about to take off? Not even a rocket could catch up with her."

"I surrender to her beauty. I admit it, I'm a looks fanatic."

Some of the younger women in the Promotion Department were clearly getting excited when they saw Guo Linlin.

What Mu Yun valued most was her department's work ability and conduct. This kind of lovestruck behavior was absolutely unacceptable. Hearing the discussions around her, Mu Yun swept her sharp gaze over the team behind her.

With just one look, the scene instantly fell silent.

The moment Guo Linlin entered, she sat directly on the sofa, crossed her left leg over her right, flicked her hair, and removed her sunglasses to reveal exquisite smoky eye makeup.

Brother Yang walked up to Mu Yun. "Director Mu, may we begin filming now? Linlin has another endorsement shoot for Vivier perfume afterward, so time is tight."

Brother Yang deliberately emphasized the words "Vivier."

Vivier was also one of the country's top perfume brands, but compared to the behemoth that was Shen Corporation, it was hardly worth mentioning. The problem was that Shen Corporation had only invited Guo Linlin to endorse one product, not made her the company's spokesperson.

Brother Yang had deliberately brought this up solely to make Mu Yun raise the level of Guo Linlin's endorsement a little.

Mu Yun understood what Brother Yang meant, and her expression became slightly conflicted.

Zhu Yu wanted to laugh as he listened from the side.

"Brother Yang, right? I really don't know where you got the nerve to say something like that in front of us. And if you want to start shooting immediately, I remember the contract stating very clearly that your makeup had to be done at our company and had to suit our company's shoot."

"You're wearing smoky eye makeup to shoot an ad for our electronic product? What, are our electronic products made with smoke?"

"We're paying you to work, not paying you to act like our ancestors. Got it?"

Zhu Yu threw out those words without showing the other side the slightest courtesy.

"Who are you? What business is it of yours when I'm talking to Director Mu?" Brother Yang's expression darkened, and so did his tone.

Because of an unexpected issue, Brother Yang had not accompanied Guo Linlin to that dinner last time, so he did not know Zhu Yu's identity.

Guo Linlin's eyes flickered when she saw Zhu Yu. Seeing that the two sides were about to clash, she quickly stood up from the sofa.

If it had only been Director Mu and Brother Yang, Guo Linlin would never have intervened. After all, Brother Yang was fighting for more favorable terms for her.

But if Assistant Zhu was involved, then the nature of the matter was entirely different.

It had been obvious from their last dinner that this person could speak in front of President Shen. If she offended him and he whispered a few words into President Shen's ear, she would be finished.

Not to mention that she had her own little plans. She could not ruin things before she had even gotten close to that person.

"Brother Yang, don't be so harsh. Let's hurry up and start filming." Guo Linlin grabbed Brother Yang and lightly patted his chest with her slender hand.

"Assistant Zhu, I'm truly sorry. Brother Yang has that kind of temper. Please don't lower yourself to his level. I'll go get my makeup done now." Guo Linlin smiled at Zhu Yu and deliberately blinked at him cutely.

Zhu Yu nearly threw up at the sight of Guo Linlin. How could she make such a cute expression with smoky eye makeup on?

"Then Miss Guo, you should hurry up and get it done. Don't let your next job be affected because you run out of time." After saying that, Zhu Yu sat directly on the sofa and picked up a magazine beside him, reading it with great interest.

Guo Linlin's expression stiffened for a moment. Zhu Yu was right—if she delayed her next job, she would have to pay a breach-of-contract penalty.
