Chapter 696: 481 outstanding talents
Lan Shuixian had been waiting at Lange Yuntian early on. As soon as Xiaofeng entered, a waiter came forward and said very respectfully, “Young Madam, hello. Our boss Lange is waiting for you in a private room on the second floor, please follow me.”
It turned out she had never guessed wrong; this Lange Yuntian was indeed created by people from the modern era.
Following the waiter to Lan Shuixian’s private room, she saw that Lan Shuixian was dressed very appropriately today, a stark contrast to the casually dressed girl she was usually.
Seeing Xiaofeng come in, Lan Shuixian put out the cigarette in her hand, had the waiter close the door, and smiled at Xiaofeng, “You’re here, take a seat.”
“You must know my identity by now, and to be honest, I have also figured out yours. Plainly speaking, we are the same kind of people. You are not using your own body, and neither am I. However, I’m not sure we came over the same year. I came over in ’18, what about you?” Lan Shuixian sat casually and spoke in an easygoing tone as if they were old friends.
“The year I came over was exactly ’18, probably in August. What about you?” Since everyone was from the same place, it was good to have some things out in the open.
“Then our times are about the same. However, I’m not as lucky as you. The body I’m in resists my arrival very strongly. I can only inhabit her at night, and during the day, it’s still her own self. So, since my arrival, barring this Lange Yuntian, I haven’t developed any other industries.”
“If the original owner isn’t willing, why bother staying here? I was here when I woke up; I had no choice at all.”
“I didn’t have a choice either; whenever the time tunnel decided it was time for me to wake up, that’s when I could wake up. Of course, someone told me I was originally supposed to be reborn into your body, but you were luckier than me and arrived a little earlier.”
“You didn’t call me here today just to talk about this, did you?”
“We’re from the same place, and our existence in this world is an anomaly. Aren’t you worried that if our identities were revealed, others would treat us as monsters?”
“Are you planning to spread the word everywhere?” Xiaofeng raised an eyebrow.
“Of course, I won’t. But we can’t guarantee that some discerning individuals won’t see through us. Let me tell you, don’t take those talented people lightly; they have very accurate judgment. Whether we belong to this era or not, they can tell without us saying anything.” Lan Shuixian remembered that she, too, had been seen through at a glance.
“I haven’t done anything I’m ashamed of, nor have I harmed anyone. Even if someone does see through me, I’m not afraid.” She didn’t eat people nor scare them; she just wanted to live her life quietly and properly. Was that also wrong?
“That’s true, we’re not breaking the law. We live our lives discreetly, minding our own business; what can others do to us? I used to work in a large club, what about you? What did you do before?”
No wonder she managed this club so well; she had experience working in one. With a light smile, “Same as now, I dealt with the food business.”
“It seems we both brought what we were good at in our previous lives here. I opened a high-end club, and you manage several food factories and supermarkets. For women of this era, we’re quite successful, don’t you think?” Women in this era were still very independent. For most of them, having their own business and being financially comfortable meant living more freely and successfully than most people.
“Whether I’m successful or not, I’m not clear. I just want to know, if you take over the original owner’s body, where does the original owner go?” In her understanding, things like reincarnation only happened when the other party couldn’t survive, but she couldn’t make sense of the current situation.
“You think I took over her body, but let me tell you, her body was already failing.” Lan Shuixian didn’t seem upset, “It’s only because of my arrival that her body has somewhat recovered.”
“Su Xiaofeng, I called you here today just to tell you one thing. Actually, to fully drive her out of this body, I have to thank you for the wine you gave her. I must say, that wine really worked wonders for me. Ever since I drank that wine you gave, the time I’ve been reborn into her body has increased. At this rate, I can be like you, not worrying about the original owner coming back, and fully become her.” Switching back and forth was, after all, tiresome.
