Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback! novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26: Chapter 26 Sending My Big Brother to a Transformation Variety Show

Shen Lan was bent over processing a large stack of press briefs on her desk.

She was nearly forty years old, but because she took good care of herself and had good genes, she looked no different than someone in their early thirties.

She wore a neat, short haircut and was dressed in a matching OL uniform, looking sharp and formidable.

"Speak up if you've got something to say. Don't you see I—"

Shen Lan was signing and frowning at the same time, but she was stunned the instant she looked up.

Her gaze fixed on the boy hiding behind Jiang Li, and to her surprise, she stood up.

"Shi Xu? What are you doing here?"

It wasn't hard to hear a mix of surprise and excitement in Shen Lan's voice.

No wonder she was excited; because of family and work, she rarely had time to spend with her son.

Moreover, due to his personality, he liked to lock himself in his room every day, unwilling to interact with anyone, including his own mother.

She only had the chance to speak a few words to him through a door during the rare moments she was home.

But he had always been extremely resistant.

This was the first time he had taken the initiative to appear, and he had even found her company.

The usually decisive Shen Lan seemed a bit flustered for the first time, pacing the spot for a moment before she calmed down and cast her gaze to Jiang Li beside her.

After sizing him up twice, she finally recognized him.

"Jiang Li? What are you doing here too?"

She had been away from home for just over half a month, so why had her niece suddenly changed so much?

She was completely different from before, almost unrecognizable.

From the moment she entered the office, Jiang Li had been observing Shen Lan.

This was her habit.

Being somewhat familiar with Mystical Skill, she always habitually observed someone's facial features upon meeting them.

And seeing the tangled fate in Shen Lan's energy gate, she knew she had come to the right place.

She clearly remembered Shen Lan's fate in the book.

In the novel, shortly after her second uncle retired from the circle, Shen Lan also quit her agent job and completely retreated behind the scenes to start an entertainment company.

However, due to external public opinion and relentless pressure from her family, her Xingmei Entertainment was not doing well.

Jiang Li had sensed this since she had come in.

—Anyone she met on this floor was unenthusiastic, and the office equipment and decorations were haphazardly placed with no sense of energy or alignment to speak of.

These were all details often considered in mysticism; a place's Feng Shui and energy field best reflected its alignment and fortune.

And Xingmei Entertainment's fortune was just about to run out.

Lowering the thoughts in her eyes, Jiang Li met Shen Lan's probing gaze.

"Auntie, I came here because I need to talk to you."

Hearing this, Shen Lan reacted as well.

The emotion in her eyes gradually cooled, and then she sat down on a nearby sofa.

"Is it about the stuff online? If so, I'm afraid I can't help."

"From the beginning, your second uncle and I agreed to three rules: we married in our personal capacities and agreed not to interfere in each other's families. Though I am your aunt, I am also the head of Star Media. If you think you can use our family connection to have me handle this matter and step into these muddy waters, I'm afraid I cannot agree."

Anyone insightful could see that Jiang Li had offended someone she shouldn't have.

She had tried to change this family, including her wayward niece, when she first married into the Jiang family, but nobody was willing to cooperate with her.
