I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 251: Keeping the position or a new journey (5400 words)
As soon as Lin Shanming said this, he scared himself.

How do you say what you think?
Seeing the pairs of surprised and puzzled eyes on the opposite side, Lin Shanming calmed himself down and cursed his bad luck in his heart.

"Teacher, were you enlightening us just now?" a student asked cautiously.

Lin Shanming was delighted and was about to say that you were right and were indeed enlightening you, but what he said was, "Finally there is a big idiot who came to the rescue. Oh my god, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with if these idiots got suspicious."

After Lin Shanming finished speaking, his face changed drastically and he immediately covered his mouth.

"Lin Shanming! What do you mean!?" Some students who had just started to learn about it and were not deeply addicted stood up immediately, "You really are a liar, aren't you?"

Lin Shanming was about to retort, but he opened his mouth and immediately closed it again.

Something's wrong. Something's wrong here.

He had a feeling that if he spoke now, he would say what was on his mind.

When the others saw Lin Shanming's expression, they also began to show doubt on their faces.

“Is this guy really a liar?”

"I think I'd better slip away."

"My daughter told me not to believe it. Is she right? No, I am definitely right."

"Ge Hui, this Lu wife, has only been eating for a few years and she's already showing off. The people of the Great Zhou really have no manners."

"He Bilian, who are you talking about? You disgusting bastard, you came to my house and stole toilet paper, and you ate and took it. Even a single hair of mine would be thicker than your waist!"

"Tang Shuo, your wife is amazing. You go to Irvine tomorrow, and Mike and I will go find your wife."

"Fuck you! You bastard Zhang Qiang, I knew there was someone in the closet that day!"

……

Almost everyone at the scene was in a mess, and everyone spoke out their true feelings as soon as they opened their mouths.

No one knew who started the fight first, but in a blink of an eye, more than a dozen people were entangled in a group, punching and kicking each other.

Seeing this, Lin Shanming rolled his eyes and turned away.

It would be a pity to give up such a great foundation, so we still have to find a way to turn it around.

Just as I ran to the door, the sliding door opened and it was Aisha Qiu again.

"Master, what's going on inside?" Seeing the scene inside, Aisha Qiu was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously.

Lin Shanming was about to speak, but suddenly remembered that he couldn't speak now. He waved at Aisha Qiu and turned away.
-
Compared to Beverly Hills, where celebrities gather just across the street, the quiet and low-key Holmby Hills is indeed less famous, but it is home to the largest number of super-rich people and upper-class families.

Aisha Qiu returned to the estate in Holmby Hills with a worried look on her face. As soon as she got out of the nanny car, her little Pomeranian came bouncing towards her.

As members of Los Santos' true high society, Aisha Qiu and Qiu Xinzhou's home in Holmby Hills surprisingly does not look luxurious.

Of course, this is just an appearance.

Aisha Qiu obviously had no mood to play with the little Pomeranian. The young butler helped her push open the ebony door, and they walked on the ebony floor through the foyer hung with paintings by Keith Haring and Damien Hirst, and passed by the empty hall hung with an abstract portrait created by Jean-Michel Basquiat for Qiu Xinzhou. Aisha Qiu came to the "Golden Study" that she was proud of.

The golden sunrise and sunset screen in the house is by Jean Dunant; the sofas and chairs are handmade by the design master Pierre Charlot who passed away seventy years ago; and the patchwork leather artworks by pop artist Peter Blake are dotted throughout the room.

This place is more like an art gallery than a residence.

Here, she has received countless celebrities from the upper class, whether it is Jane Fonda and Leonardo DiCaprio from Hollywood, or Zuckerberg from Facebook, and even the outgoing President Obama visited four years ago.

It was not a difficult matter for her when four illegal immigrants were arrested by the Immigration Bureau. She didn't even need to show up. She just needed to make a phone call to her lawyer and the matter would be handled properly.

But these four people attacked the police and resisted arrest, and two of them were shot dead. One of them became a tainted witness. This matter is a bit serious.

She was not afraid of being convicted. For someone of her class, let alone the lack of direct evidence, even if there was any flaw, she would not be convicted.

What she was afraid of was affecting her reputation in high society.

Thinking about Lin Shanming's reaction today and what she saw and heard at CP DAVA today, Aisha Qiu couldn't help but feel a little doubtful and regretful.

Aisha Qiu and Lin Shanming met at an art charity auction, and she was soon attracted by the magical skills Lin Shanming displayed.

At first she just wanted to be pretentious and have some topics to talk about, but that's how things are, you never know when you will be brainwashed imperceptibly.

Gradually, Aisha Qiu began to listen to Lin Shanming's advice and helped Lin Shanming develop many capable students in Los Santos.

And the more Aisha Qiu invested in Meng Huatian, the more she believed in Lin Shanming.

To be precise, based on the psychology of loss aversion, people will force themselves to believe that their investment will not be lost.

To the extreme, he is just a gambler, stubbornly believing that he can turn the tables in the next round.

But do they really believe they can turn the tables?
In fact, they all know subconsciously that it is impossible, but they just don’t dare to face it.

This is human nature.

Originally, she forced herself to believe that this was her lifelong pursuit, but now that something really happened, the first thing she thought of was how to get out of it.

After dealing with this matter, I must keep my distance from Lin Shanming.

At least Mark can't find out.

With a beep, an email popped up on Aisha Qiu's phone.

Who sent this? What the hell is this? How come the spam wasn't filtered out?
Looking at the characters that she couldn't understand at all, Aisha Qiu simply threw the email into the trash can.

Hmm? Why does my neck feel cold? What is that?
Nothing, is it an illusion?
-
Huhuhuhu, this is really a ghost, what happened just now? Did someone drug me?

The first thing Lin Shanming thought of was the area in which he was good at.

In their line of work, using psychotropic drugs to influence and control others is part of their job.

Huh? I think I can talk now?

Call Wang Jingchun right away.

Why did you choose four idiots to do the job?

Resisting arrest and assaulting police officers, do you really think you are still in Yingzhou?

Selinmu!
"Master, there's no need to go through so much trouble to deal with these two people, right? They're just two ordinary people from the evil camp. A 0-ring trick is enough to get rid of them." Yuzu asked in confusion as she operated the consciousness clone in the private server to process various data.

Fang Yu chuckled, "What's the point? It would be a bargain for such a wicked guy to be killed right away."

What he hates most are idiots, and what he hates second are the bad guys who deliberately lead idiots to do evil for their own personal gain.

Previously, he cast not the second-level spell "Honest Realm" from the Enchanting School in CP DAVA, but the third-level spell "Straightforwardness."

The "Realm of Honesty" prevents people from lying within the casting area, but if they only make misleading statements, they can still achieve the effect of deception.

This spell is basically useless against top politicians like Greenspan.

"Speak Your Mind" is different. After casting this spell, people in the casting area will say what they really think at that moment as long as they open their mouths, unless they keep silent. The coercive power is much higher than that of "Realm of Honesty".

Fang Yu took out a used Cross puppet and lightly touched the center of the Cross puppet's eyebrows with his finger. The bloody scars in the Cross puppet's body began to wriggle violently. Not long after, the Cross puppet opened its mouth, and a drop of bright red blood spit out of its mouth and floated in the air, and all the bloody scars in its body had disappeared.

Looking at this Cross puppet again, cracks appeared on its body, and it had completely turned into waste.

Fang Yu flicked his finger slightly, and the drop of blood dripped silently onto the neck of Lin Shanming who was on the phone.

Lin Shanming was talking on the phone in Yingzhou dialect in a rage, saying "selinmu" over and over again, when he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck. He touched it with his hand, but didn't feel anything.

When the drop of blood touched Lin Shanming's skin, it was like dripping on a tissue and was quickly absorbed by Lin Shanming's skin in less than a second.

Lin Shanming felt his whole body tense up. He looked around but found nothing, so he picked up the phone and continued cursing.

But he didn't notice that his computer hard drive was flashing.
-
"Oh~honey." Scarlett scratched Fang Yu's back with her nails, but couldn't even leave a red mark.

There is no doubt that this is a foul.

It’s a pity that Fang Yu’s physical strength allows him to ignore any fouls!
When Fang Yu reached level 2 in the life laboratory under the Omiz Peak in the main plane, he had undergone an unprecedented strengthening of his life essence. He could clearly feel that after he reached level , his life essence was about to reach the peak of carbon-based life, and even if he was shot with the M that had previously blasted Edward, it might not be able to break his skin.

Fang Yu estimated that even if he was thrown out of the atmosphere now, he would probably be able to survive in the space environment for quite a long time.

His body has completely freed itself from the constraints of oxygen and no longer needs blood-oxygen exchange. The ubiquitous magic network continuously provides him with energy to sustain life.

Comparable to King Frieza.

With this kind of intensity, Scarlett's foul, which is just an ordinary strong man's, will not have any disruptive effect.

Fang Yu held the ball with both hands and quickly attacked the basket.

The battle was so intense that the Nets were almost torn apart.

He is indeed a strong player that even Durant wants to challenge!
But that's where your performance ends.

Look at my three-point rain!

What about nine two-point shots followed by a three-point shot? That's just a weird way of showing lack of strength.

I, Curry, am going to shoot nine three-pointers in a row and make the opponent foam at the mouth!
Scarlett was almost going crazy, she was more excited than the several times she played basketball after taking stimulants.

It is true that there are always people who are better than you. I originally thought that Romandarek was invincible, but I didn’t expect that there was someone who was even braver than him. Whose general is this?
His basic skills are flawless, including dribbling between the legs, quick changes of direction, turnaround jump shot, sideways shot, and fadeaway jump shot. He is also able to find his weaknesses with incredible accuracy and attack them focused on.

Even I didn’t know I had so many weaknesses!

As three-pointers were made one after another, the score gap between the two became larger and larger.

"Ugh~" Scarlett was so angry after being beaten that she rolled her eyes and fainted.

"Pa pa." Fang Yu patted the ball twice and cast a three-ring energy-shaping spell "Vibrant Aura" on himself.

This spell is an aura buff with an adjustable range. The shortest radius is one meter and the longest is 10 meters. Creatures within the range will slowly recover their strength and vitality. The longest effective time is one hour.

The reason why I didn’t open it at the beginning was because I felt that one hour of game time might not be enough.

Now it seems that it is not enough.
-
"Snapped!"

"Huh~" Scarlett lit a cigarette for Fang Yu and then lit one for herself.

"You are such a devil." Scarlett looked at Fang Yu beside her with fear.

Fang Yu exhaled two streams of smoke from his nose: "Demon? Don't insult me ​​with those low-level abyss creatures. I am a god."

Scarlett: ??? There are such gods? What are the creatures of the abyss?
Of course there isn't, Zeus is much more creative than me.

I heard Starz is currently filming "Gods of Miami", I'd like to go and make a cameo appearance someday.

Scarlett's eyelashes trembled slightly: "How did you appear at the show? Why did you come to see me?"

It is now the time of Los Santos Fashion Week. There will be a series of shows after the Oscars ceremony, which will continue until late March. Los Santos Fashion Week is one of them.

Scarlett is the global spokesperson for D&G, so she was obviously going to attend the event.

Fang Yu picked up the T-shirt from the court and put it on, talking without touching anything.

"It was you who asked Miles for my contact information." Fang Yu shrugged.

It was the first time that Scarlett met a man who didn't take her seriously right from the start.

No, I didn’t take it seriously before I got the hang of it.

But she really couldn't get angry.

It's not because of love, needless to say, at her age now, before the end of her first marriage in her twenties, she already understood that love is nothing more than the combined effects of hormones and dopamine.

It's not love, but an instinctive obedience.

It's like the obedience of a lioness to a male lion in a lion group. It's a shudder from the soul and genes that makes her only want to obey and please the other party.

"I heard that you want to work with Robbie Miles to run a magical skin care product?" Scarlett used the action of smoking to cover up her panic, "Do you need help?"

Ever since the last ELLE charity donation party hosted by Robbie Myers, rumors about Wangshu Tears have begun to circulate on a small scale in Hollywood, and Scarlett is much more concerned about this news than anyone else. As a half-party involved, she naturally learned more information.

When she went to see Robbie Myers two days ago, she was also extremely surprised at the skin condition of this 51-year-old old lady. She felt that her skin condition seemed to be better than hers some time ago.

Robbie Myers was even more surprised at Scarlett's condition. Scarlett's condition in all aspects has declined drastically since last year, but now it seems that she is not much worse than her peak period six or seven years ago.

Is this some kind of magic pill?

This is much more effective than any panacea, and it can refine essence and transform it into Qi. How can a small 0-ring potion compare to it?

Fang Yu nodded indifferently: "Miles is still struggling with his thoughts, but this is her best chance."

"It's not so easy to give up the editor-in-chief position of ELLE." Scarlett laughed and was no longer so embarrassed. "In the entire fashion industry, she is the person closest to Anna Wintour. After Anna retires, she will be the only godmother of the fashion industry."

Fang Yu curled her lips: "Anna Wintour will not retire. If she stays at ELLE, she will have no chance of surpassing The Devil Wears Prada."

Scarlett frowned slightly. She had some rift with Anna Wintour since two years ago. She had not appeared on the cover of Vogue for two years and had hardly even participated in any fashion events held by Vogue.

"Anna won't retire? Where did you get this information?"

Fang Yu gently spun her fingers in circles: "Like you said, Robbie Myers was reluctant to give up the authority of ELLE. Similarly, Anna Wintour will not give up the glory of Vogue. She knows better than anyone what her real foundation is. Condé Nast Group has wanted to move her for ten years and tried to demote her several times. In the end, she took the promotion position and never let go of the editor-in-chief position."

"She has far more leverage than Robbie Myers, so Condé Nast has no choice but to keep making concessions."

When Fang Yu wanted to poach Robbie Myers, he did some research on the political and business relations and internal struggles in the fashion industry, and it was not difficult to come to this conclusion.

"Maybe, but I feel that Robbie will still keep his position at ELLE, and no one in the entire fashion industry will be willing to give up the position of editor-in-chief of ELLE." Scarlett naturally took the cigarette butt from Fang Yu's hand and put it out in the ashtray.

Fang Yu laughed meaningfully: "She will face the reality."

“Once you start to think about ‘keeping your position,’ it means that the position no longer belongs to you.”
-
Robbie Myers is conflicted, deeply conflicted.

After receiving the Wangshu Tears test report and exclusive agency authorization from Fang Yu, Robbie Myers has completely believed that this magical skin care product will be able to completely monopolize the global top luxury market.

If she could cooperate with Fang Yu and promote Tears of the Moon Goddess in Beimai, it could indeed be a great opportunity in her life.

Lorraine Bio's Wangshu Tears product line will receive 10% profit dividends.

She calculated that after deducting taxes and operating expenses, Lorraine Bio could earn at least 370 yuan in rebates for each bottle of Wangshu Tears sold.

10% is 37 Malaysian dollars. If she can sell 30 bottles a year in North Mai, she can get million Malaysian dollars in dividends alone.

It is four times her current annual salary of 280 million dollars!
Can't sell 30 bottles? What a joke! In Miami alone, there were 42 people with an annual income of more than one million dollars last year.

Each bottle of Wangshu Tears only has a 20-day supply. Even if used sparingly, it will only last a month. A person needs to buy at least 12 bottles a year to maintain their faces that are watered by magic.

In addition, there are so many middle-class people who pursue upper-class life even if their annual income is only one hundred thousand dollars.

She estimated that after the market expansion, the demand in the Beimai market will be at least 80 to 200 million bottles a year.

Unfortunately, the Dazhou company that produces Wangshu Tears is limited by its production capacity and can only distribute a maximum of 30 bottles to the Beimai market each year.

Therefore, this product is destined to be a seller's market product! In other words, as long as the operation is good, she does not need to be the second party to anyone!
This is a treatment only available to Hermès and LVMH!
But she really wasn't willing to give up.

She has been the editor-in-chief of ELLE for 16 years, the longest-serving editor-in-chief in ELLE's history. Not only has she left her own mark on the magazine, but ELLE has also left an even deeper mark on her.

What's more, she is a dozen years younger than Anna Wintour and doesn't believe that she can't replace the old lady's position in the fashion industry.

Robbie Myers' high heels made a clicking sound on the polished marble floor of the Hearst Group.

"Robbie, let me see. Oh, you look in great shape. Do I still have a chance now?" An elite white man who looked to be in his early fifties kissed Robbie Myers on the cheek and joked.

"Of course there is a chance, Steven, as long as you are not afraid of having your nose broken by Frank. Congratulations on your contract renewal, my boss." Robbie Myers maintained a friendly smile.
