Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva!.

Chapter 542: Memories between Sisters
The breeze was still blowing, and when Tilan and Themisia finished their conversation, only 5 minutes had passed. To others, the whole process was just the girl staring at herself in the mirror and being dazed for a while.

After the conversation, Tilan had a new task in her life, which was to investigate the mysterious organization that she had contacted with Themisia that year, and then obtain further intelligence and understand her own life experience.

However, this task is not urgent. In her opinion, she will have enough time and energy to complete it only after graduating from university. Currently, as a singer, her foothold is still unstable. If she rashly touches these things, it will only expose problems.

After putting these thoughts aside, Tilan looked at the time, then stood up and walked out of the conference room.

"President Tilan."

The two men guarding the door saw her come out and bowed their heads to greet her. However, because of their height, they happened to catch a glimpse of the girl's profile when they bowed their heads.

Today, Tilan was wearing a Gothic-style dress. There were a few dark gold hollow butterflies on the black pleated skirt. The wide cuffs were lined with white lining that looked like blooming morning glories. Against this backdrop, her exposed fingers looked exceptionally delicate, like some kind of work of art.

Noticing that the two were a little slow in reacting, the girl tilted her head with a hint of curiosity.

"what happened?"

"Ah, nothing." The two of them quickly turned their heads away, panicking.

In response, Tilan just shook her head slightly and did not pursue what they were thinking just now.

Seeing Tilan continue to move forward, the two took a few seconds to react, and hurriedly quickened their pace to catch up, then moved forward at the same speed as the girl.

What happened today? They had seen President Tilan before, so why was he so stunned today? The two of them reflected on this in their hearts.

Maybe it was because the girl today seemed more "smart" than usual, or maybe her temperament was different? These were the vague conclusions in the two people's minds.

During this period, Tilan's methods were very clever, even decisive. She cracked down on partners with ulterior motives, intimidated company representatives with ulterior motives, punished employees who concealed information, and so on. At first, everyone was a little worried that Tilan was too young as a singer and could be easily fooled or used by these old foxes, but after several actions, everyone in the star cluster had to admire this girl.

Although young girls may be deceived due to their lack of social experience, a powerful singer is naturally a strong leader.

During negotiations, any loopholes in your mentality, lack of confidence, and changes in your emotions will be noticed by the other party, and you will almost inevitably reveal your cards in front of her. In terms of business intelligence, even if she doesn't know how to do it herself, she can entrust multiple professionals to hear the information she wants from multiple angles, and filter out false exaggerations and deliberately concealed and ignored parts in the process.

The dilemma faced by general leaders is that, even with the assistance of professionals, the information gap between the two sides and the trust issues will cause the leaders to obtain distorted information, making it difficult to make correct judgments in the end.

This is just the passive aspect. If the singer actively uses her own infectious power to persuade the other party, unless the other party is a high-level extraordinary person, it is difficult for them to be determined and completely unaffected. However, the other party will most likely notice this behavior. In order to avoid conflicts, the singers do not use it much.

Taking the elevator to the fourth floor of the building, Tilan met the members of the secretarial department who were preparing to set off.

"Hello, President Tilan." More than ten people stood up.

"Are you just about to leave?" Tilan saw that they had already printed the contract documents and put them into the bag.

"Yes, we are getting ready to leave." one of the members replied.

"Hmm..." Tilan thought for a moment.

"Take me with you, maybe they have some ideas."

"Yes." Seeing that Tilan wanted to join, everyone seemed to be more expectant and excited.

Then the group hurried to a special conference hall. This was not a small conference room inside the society, but a hall that could accommodate thousands of people.

Here, representatives from various companies who had received the news had already arrived. When they saw the black-haired girl and a group of members coming in, they all stood up.

"Good afternoon, Master Tilan."

"Good afternoon, Miss Tilan."

"Greetings, Lady Heshia Tiran."

In response, the girl nodded in return, then went to sit in the middle of the hall, where she had her own seat. The bluestone carved chair was square in shape, with rose decorations on both sides of the tall backrest. The rose decorations had different shapes depending on the style and name of each singer.

For example, Tilan's chair has dark purple and black leaves paired with light blue ice roses on both sides, while Audney's has silver leaves paired with white and green roses, and Shui Yanqing's has aqua blue leaves paired with pink roses.

After sitting down, the accompanying members distributed the printed documents one by one for the business representatives to review. A buzz of discussion soon broke out at the scene. Tilan, who was sitting on the chair, did not stop it, but waited quietly.

About ten minutes later, a member asked the girl in her ear. As the girl nodded slightly, the member stood up, walked to the podium and turned on the microphone.

There was a round of applause at first, which quieted everyone down, and then he began to speak.

"I believe everyone has just read the revised contract or agreement. If you have no objection, you can raise your hand and we will arrange for the signing. If you still have doubts, please write down your demands and hand them to the members of the Star Cluster next to you. They will bring them to the front for President Tilan to respond."

After he finished speaking, some people present raised their hands first, then the other representatives looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and then raised their hands as well.

In fact, these contracts have been negotiated many times, and they are basically the versions that are closer to their bottom line after the game. Some major issues have also been negotiated before. The reason why some representatives still disagree is just because of concerns about risks, or they want to see how others decide.

Seeing more and more people raising their hands, the rest of the people couldn't help but raise their hands as well, for fear of being ignored or offending the singer sitting on the stage.

After spending these days together, they no longer think that this seemingly gentle girl is as easy to bully and fool as she appears to be. Maybe if they raise their hands too late this time, the other party will see it and remember it.

About half a minute later, seeing the last representative also hesitantly raised his hand, the members of the star cluster in the hall felt a sense of pride in their hearts. Then they secretly glanced at the black-haired girl in the Gothic skirt sitting on the stage. Seeing that the expression in her eyes was still calm and clear, they felt a little ashamed and thought that they still lacked some self-control.

After all, most of the people present were still students, and it was their first time to come into contact with such a commercial project involving tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars, so it was inevitable that they were a little excited.

No wonder the teachers all said that if possible, working with a singer is far better than working in a company, both from an ideal and a realistic perspective.

Tilan stood up, holding the handrails lightly with both hands, glanced at the people present, nodded slightly, then lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands and bowed.

"Thank you all for your support." Then he stood up.

"I know that many people are still worried. After all, many projects are huge and are new to many companies. But everyone should also see the prospects and future they hold."

“I can’t guarantee that these projects will be a huge success, but it is always beneficial to stick to them. If you really encounter difficult problems in the later stage, you can come to me and I will do my best to find a solution for you.” These words made many representatives who were still worried put down their worries.

Although the singing girl herself does not have much money, her personal influence is a huge political asset. With her words as a guarantee, even if this cooperation project suffers a loss, it can still obtain assistance from other aspects and will not lose all the money.

"Lord Tilan is thoughtful."

"Thank you, Miss Tilan."

All the corporate representatives present expressed their gratitude, and then the two sides signed various contracts and agreements. After that, it was already evening, so a dinner was held.

Tilan was still there at the beginning of the banquet. She made a simple tour and left early after completing the necessary etiquette procedures. After all, she was not used to drinking, and if she stayed at the banquet all the time, these people probably wouldn't be able to relax.

“I’ll leave everything else in your hands.” Before leaving, Tilan asked some members to stay at the banquet to entertain guests and maintain a certain level of order.

"Yes, President."

After returning to the mansion, the girl first took a hot bath, changed out of her Gothic dress, put on a more comfortable nightgown, then sat in the study and closed her eyes for a nap before opening her eyes and looking through the schedule records of the past few days.

Although she vaguely remembered a lot of things, after all, they were not her own experiences, so there were bound to be some omissions. It would be better to take a look at them.

An hour later, Tilan finished flipping through the schedule and closed the clipboard.

Themisia is really a workaholic. She has hardly taken a break in the past two weeks. She has turned down all the party invitations from Orlais, Odney, and Shui Yanqing. If they didn't live nearby and knew that she was really busy during this period, they would probably think that she was deliberately distancing herself from everyone.

But it’s better this way. If Themisia really meets these friends, it will be difficult for the singers to lie to each other, and who knows what accidents might happen.

Just as Tilan was about to get up, take a walk to get some fresh air and then go to sleep, there was a knock on the study door.

"Come in." She thought it was a maid looking for her, but she didn't expect to see Ge Yin with silver-green hair.

"Tilan."

Ge Yin was a little timid when he called her name, which was not like her usual style.

"What's wrong? Come over here." The girl waved her hand and asked Ge Yin to come over. In fact, the two were of similar age and height, and they usually got along well, so they shouldn't be so afraid.

Hearing the girl's gentle voice, Ge Yin felt slightly relaxed and happy. This kind of emotional fluctuation was rare before.

After coming to Tilan, Ge Yin lowered his head and hesitated for a while, then took out a chip card from his hand and placed it in front of Tilan.

"This is the information you asked me to find before."

Hmm? I asked Ge Yin to find the information. The girl's eyes moved slightly, thinking that it might be done by Themisia.

"Well, what exactly is stored in it?"

She began to think about whether she had any relevant memories, and it seemed that she did remember a little, but it was very faint. It seemed that when Themisia asked Ge Yin to find the information, she did not have high expectations, but just asked her to help casually. This guy always found it easy to order others around.

"It contains information or data about organizations that study 'souls' and 'angel prototypes'."

Ah, so Themisia is starting to have people investigate now, the girl blinked.

"Any results?" Tilan took the chip card.

"Many organizations have studied these, but they are all illegal and have been cracked down by the court. Later, even if they are still alive, they disappeared from the Internet," Ge Yin replied.

"It's not surprising. After all, these things are the 'taboos' of the Fifth Era." Tilan shook her head slightly. She couldn't say she was disappointed, but she felt that it would be more difficult to find the mysterious organization in the future.

Seeing that Ge Yin seemed to be hesitant to speak, Tilan held her hand, and a faint warmth was conveyed to her.

"Is there anything you want to say?"

After Tilan grabbed his wrist, Geyin's hand trembled slightly, then calmed down.

"Um……"

"Tilan has become a little strange these days." Her voice was so weak that if the two were not close to each other, the girl probably wouldn't have heard it.

"Well, there was probably some accident, but I've recovered now." Tilan thought about it and had to explain it this way.

"I...actually, I'm hiding something from Tilan." Ge Yin hesitated for a long time and finally started to speak.

"I know."

Ge Yin has a simple personality and cannot hide things. Moreover, in front of the singer who knows people's hearts, Tilan had already noticed that Ge Yin was hesitant.

Tilan already knew it, but out of consideration, she would not show it. But it was different for Themisia. After just a few days of getting along, she noticed that Geyin was hiding something, but she didn't reveal it because Tilan would be unhappy if she made it clear.

Although she didn't expose her true identity, that cold look that went straight to her heart made Ge Yin feel like she was falling into an icy cave for the first time. She was in a state of anxiety and fear for several days until the girl asked her to find some information, and then she felt a little better.

"I didn't want to hide it from Tilan from the beginning, but before..." Ge Yin slowly talked about her experience in high school. At that time, everyone on campus was immersed in the confrontation with Saint Ingo, and few people paid attention to her life. Although she occasionally interacted with Tilan, they were just ordinary friends.

……

"So later you joined the 'Council of Seven Sages'?" Tilan was a little surprised. She originally thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be just joining a network organization.

"Yes." Ge Yin continued to talk about the past and current situation of the 'Council of Seven Sages'.

……

"So this is such a big organization, involving so many secrets. No wonder you were hesitant before. If it were me, I would definitely find it difficult to speak up."

"Now that you tell me this, Ge Yin is taking a big risk."

"I will do my best to protect you. I think even for an organization like this, it would be difficult to touch the people around the singer, especially in the Golden Flame Flower Academy."

……

"From what you said, there should be a secret line from the federal government within the organization. This seems to make sense."

……

"How about this, Ge Yin just stays in the organization. If there are any sensitive matters involved, you can discuss it with me. Also, protect your personal information and try not to let others know your true situation."

With Tilan's comfort, Geyin gradually calmed down. Then Tilan took her back to her room to sleep and sang a lullaby beside Geyin's bed, allowing the child, who had been frightened for several days, to gradually fall asleep.

After returning to her bedroom, Tilan sat in front of the dressing mirror and simply tied her hair to avoid it getting messy when she slept at night. At this time, the girl in the mirror blinked her eyes, showing a light purple glow.

"I can't believe that in such a large organization, one of the most core members is such a simple and timid girl." Themisia said.

"I just scared her before, and then I couldn't sleep for several days. Tsk." She didn't like this kind of fragile girl.

"Who can withstand being scared like that by you? Not to mention Ge Yin, I think those business representatives are also scared by you." Tilan retorted immediately.

"That only means that they have something to hide and their wills are weak." The girl in the mirror yawned with her hands covering her mouth.

"You were so timid before, how come you weren't scared by me and are still so stubborn."

"I've been bullied by you since I was a child." Tilan expressed dissatisfaction.

"How did I bully you? I have always taken good care of you, my timid sister." Themisia was no longer convinced.

"Do you remember, when I was in elementary school, you once dragged me to the surface to play." Tilan talked about her childhood.

"It seems to be the case, what's wrong?"

"You didn't tell mom at the time and took me there directly. We wandered around the open-air market on the ground level. There were only adults there, and the environment was quite chaotic."

“It’s nothing. Even though they were all adults, I was already Sequence 4 at that time. These adults couldn’t beat me at all.” Themisia didn’t think there was anything wrong with this.

"But I'm scared, and the market smells weird, and some adults look at me with malicious intent."

"Well, even if you are a little scared, it's not bullying. I remember that many of the goods in that open-air market were damaged items left by truck drivers, such as broken electrical appliances, fruits in poor condition, discarded items, etc. Many of the things were quite interesting. Unlike the regular market, you can also see knives and guns that you can't buy under normal circumstances."

"Look at it, it's such a mess. Of course I was scared when I was still a child. Later, you dragged me to the rocky mountain to play, left me on the top of the mountain, and slid down yourself."

"I let you slip at that time, but you didn't dare to do so." Themisia retorted.

"That Yellow Sand Mountain Road is several hundred meters long. For someone like me who is just over one meter tall, I was definitely more scared than excited. I hadn't practiced the Transcendental Sequence at that time, so I couldn't fly like you."

"Okay, okay, I didn't understand little Tilan's feelings, but after all these years, you still remember it."

"Of course I remember, because after I went back that day, I cried for a long time in my mother's arms, but she still didn't blame you."

"So little Tilan is jealous and aggrieved, haha."

Perhaps I really envied my sister back then, not only because she was talented, confident, and radiant, but also because at that time, although my mother took good care of me, she actually cared more about Themisia.

This is only natural. Even though Themisia is rebellious and disobedient, the vigorous vitality she exudes is something I can hardly aspire to as I am still in the ugly duckling stage, so I am favored by my mother.

Inferiority, sadness, envy, wanting to prove myself, not wanting to admit defeat.

The reason why he was unwilling to merge with Themisia was probably because of these complicated emotions.

Why, after gradually realizing these things many years ago, he was still unwilling to become as decisive and resolute as Themisia? Perhaps he wanted to prove that gentleness and rationality were just as powerful as that kind of assertive and decisiveness.
