Magical Girl Heavy Dependence

Chapter 22, Worth It

After leaving the president's office, Yan Xi stood alone against the wall in the corridor, still thinking about what Cheng Chen had just said.

The other party is right.

It was her own impulsiveness; she didn't think through the consequences.

This not only affected Qian Yinyin, but could also expose her own identity and implicate her grandmother.

Yan Xi didn't care about the company or how the Magical Girl Association viewed her; she just didn't want to cause trouble for those around her.

This isn't the first time someone has acted on impulse and only realized later that they hadn't done a good job.

She stared blankly at the ceiling.

"Painting crows?"

Someone suddenly called her name as she turned the corner in the corridor.

Turning my head, I saw two mature office ladies carrying folders and wearing name tags around their necks walking towards me.

Yan Xi happened to know both of these people.

"What are you doing here? Did the CEO call you?"

The person who spoke first was Yan Wen, who had previously served as her producer.

"Tsk tsk, after causing such a huge mess, you can still stroll around so leisurely. You're really heartless." The other person's tone was much worse, and his expression was even colder.

It is Gao Xiao, who was also her former producer and is now the full-time assistant of Magical Girl Matsuri.

After Guwu left, the status of the remaining key personnel naturally rose, and both of them are now considered high-level executives at Yinfu Entertainment.

Yan Xi nodded to them.

She has always disdained arguing with people, and she has long been used to similar taunts since coming to Yinfu Entertainment.

In their eyes, they were just delinquent girls who had been forced into the Yin Mansion, who not only failed to generate any benefits but also constantly brought trouble.

Ungrateful and impolite, a complete ingrate.

Yan Wen reassured her colleague beside her, pretending to be very concerned, and asked, "Is it that trending topic? The public relations department is already working on a strategy, so don't worry, just wait for the company's notification."

"Since the company was founded, the public relations department has never taken on such a large project. We should thank you, Ms. Huiya, for giving them the opportunity to hone their skills."

Gao Xiao continued to speak sarcastically.

"Yesterday..." Yan Wen suddenly remembered something and smiled gently, "The association held an emergency hearing for you, right? I understand you want to vent, but it's never good to cause trouble for others, don't you think?"

"Get out of here."

Yan Xi raised her eyes slightly, finding the two of them too noisy.

Besides, she had no reason to give those two arrogant, self-righteous guys a friendly look.

"you!"

Gao Xiao glared angrily, "A lucky girl who accidentally gained magic power, instead of cherishing it, abuses it. Does she think what she did is right? With people like you around, you are ruining the reputation of the word 'magical girl'."

That's enough.

Yan Wen stopped Gao Xiao from continuing and said to Yan Xi, "I don't know why you did that kind of thing, but I've always thought you were a good kid. President Jiang has always been generous, and Yinfu Entertainment will give a magical girl who makes a mistake a chance to repent. If you made a mistake, reflect on it and sincerely apologize."

"Reflect on your actions? You'd be too happy to do so."

Gao Xiao scoffed, "You were her producer too, don't you know she never regrets what she does?"

Yan Xi clenched her fists instinctively.

Do you regret it?

In fact, she did have a moment of regret when she carried Yin Yin out of that building.

She had absolutely no idea what to do after rescuing the person.

After careful consideration, I had no choice but to take Yinyin home to rest first, and then make further plans.

In fact, Yin Yin is not much younger than her, and sometimes she even seems more mature.

"Is Sister Yan troubled?"

Yinyin lay on the bed in Yanxi's room, not asking her about the magical girl or why she had taken her away.

Yan Xi forced a smile and replied, "Yes, there are still some work-related matters I need to think about."

"If you're troubled, send me back."

Yin Yin's clear eyes showed no emotion whatsoever, and Yan Xi's attempt to conceal it had no effect whatsoever.

Yan Xi had no choice but to pull herself together and look at her: "Do you know what those people do?"

"Um."

Yin Yin was very clear-headed and calm. "They called themselves a disaster relief center and had been recruiting nuns to pray for blessings in the vicinity of that street. My mother owed a lot of money, so I talked to those uncles and asked them to lend my mother money in exchange for me working for them."

It turns out that it wasn't Qian Zhen who sold her, but rather she herself who sold herself.

Yan Xi's expression was extremely complicated, and she blurted out, almost as if possessed, "Is it worth it?"

Yinyin gave her a strange look: "She's my mother."

But your mother is a liar and a gambling addict!

Yan Xi didn't say this, and she wasn't qualified to judge others.

"Don't worry, rest at my place first." Yan Xi reassured Yin Yin, "I'll explain to your mother later."

Yinyin tilted her head and looked at her calmly.

"W-what's wrong?"

Yan Xi felt a little guilty, as if her outward strength was being seen through by those eyes.

"It's nothing," Yin Yin said earnestly. "Thank you, Sister Yan, for saving me..."

"Actually, I don't really want to sell myself."

Returning to reality, Yan Xi felt a surge of strength within her.

Yin Yin's words gave her a lot of encouragement and made her realize that she hadn't actually done anything wrong.

How could it be wrong to help others?

Perhaps her recklessness and impulsiveness were her problems, but her choices were definitely not wrong!

Yan Xi suddenly raised her head.

Gao Xiao, who was still watching the spectacle with amusement, suddenly turned pale and his face turned cold.

"What kind of attitude is that?"

Seeing that an argument was about to break out, Yan Wen tried to intervene, but Gao Xiao completely ignored her.

"Forced entry, illegal kidnapping. After making such a huge fuss, they still show no remorse, they won't even admit they were wrong. What? Did I hit a nerve?"

Whether I am right or wrong is not for Assistant Gao to judge.

Yan Xi stared at her coldly, "You're just an assistant, you have no right to boss me around. You can't even be a producer, yet you want to put on airs. All you dare to do is make sarcastic and sarcastic remarks, it's utterly ridiculous."

Gao Xiao laughed angrily, glancing at her: "Do you know the current state of the company? You're not ashamed, but proud of it. I wonder what your current producer would think if he knew you were so self-righteous? I really don't know where you get the audacity to argue with me. I hope you'll still be so stubborn when you're on the gallows in the 'trial'."

Yan Xi bit her lower lip lightly.

The other party was right about one thing: regardless of whether what she did was right or wrong, she got into trouble.

But the hesitation vanished from Yan Xi's face in the blink of an eye, replaced by a resolute expression.

Whether it's a kidnapping or a news story, she'll handle the trouble she caused herself, but no matter what, she won't hand Yin Yin back to those people.

"Transformation."

She grabbed her wand and instantly transformed into the magical girl E-raven.

Gao Xiao's expression changed. It was fine to just say a few words, but she was too old to become a magical girl.

"What? You know you're in the wrong and are ready to fight?"

She stubbornly held her neck, glaring angrily.

Just then, the door to Jiang Fei's CEO office opened, and Cheng Chen walked out.

"My trainee just transformed early to handle the aftermath of the trending topic. Thank you for your concern about company affairs..." Cheng Chen glanced at Gao Xiao's name tag. "Assistant Gao, what's the matter with making such a racket outside someone else's office?"

Gao Xiao's face turned ashen, and he was speechless as he looked at the newly appointed vice president.

Yan Wen stepped in at the right moment to smooth things over: "President Cheng, we came to report to President Jiang on the progress of preparations for Miss Songlan's concert. We met Miss Huiya here and chatted with her for a bit. We got carried away and didn't pay attention to our volume. We are really sorry."

Cheng Chen glanced at her, then suddenly lost interest and beckoned to the transformed magical girl, E-Ya.

"Keep up."

The crow obediently followed behind him.

Cheng Chen walked past the two of them, but after brushing past them, he suddenly stopped, turned his head, and said, "Assistant Gao."

Gao Xiao rolled her eyes, but when she heard the call, she quickly forced a smile.

"Is there anything else, Mr. Cheng?"

"My trainee said one thing correctly," Cheng Chen's voice came from afar, "Whether what she did was right or wrong is not for you to judge."

After saying that, he led Huiya around the corner of the corridor and disappeared.

Only Gao Xiao's face remained a deep purplish-red, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

……

"Producer".

Standing together in the elevator, Eya clasped her hands together in front of her, her eyes fixed straight ahead.

"What are the company's plans to do with me?"

Cheng Chen thought for a moment and said, "I'll make you go to the police station to turn yourself in. Before that, I'll terminate your trainee contract and give you a spanking while I'm at it... or something."

I accept.

Huiya nodded without hesitation.

Cheng Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise, looking at her through the reflection of the smooth walls of the elevator car.

Eya said matter-of-factly, "I am an unqualified magical girl, and this incident is entirely my responsibility. I will cooperate with whatever method is used to handle it."

"...However, Yin Yin, the child I brought, is innocent. I will not hand her over to people of unknown origin."

"Oh? So you knew too." Cheng Chen sighed as he looked at her.

"Know what?"

"Those guys are of unknown origin."

He flicked the car keys he had borrowed from Jiang Fei.

"Since you know its origin is unknown, shouldn't you investigate it thoroughly?"
