"I don't work for him. I work for the young lady."
Evelin began to explain, while Ling continued to express her dissatisfaction with a pout.
"He even asked where we worked... After we said we were a small business, his expression suddenly turned cold. It was terrifying."
“If you tell him that you are Phaethon, you might see Secretary-General Hobson smiling.
The so-called worldly wisdom is to assess the usefulness of others in the shortest possible time, and not to waste any extra energy on those who are useless. It can be considered a skill that people in his position rely on to survive.
Evelin said this with a serious tone while smiling, and Ling, who heard this, thought to herself.
Then if he told about his own connections, no, just the fact that his brother was the chosen son-in-law of the Hoshimi family, that would probably be enough.
"Jia Yin wouldn't be like that. If we talk about position, Jia Yin is definitely in that position."
"That's right. Even though she holds a high position, the young lady never looks down on anyone. Despite her talent, she never considers herself special. That's why she's so precious."
It seemed that because of Zhe’s words, Evelin also revealed some of her own thoughts.
“To be honest, before I met the young lady, I never thought that people like her really existed.
During those first few days with her, I was waiting for her to [reveal her true colors].
"Actually, I feel the same way. Who would have thought that the brightest star in Lido would be so pure and innocent without any pretense at all?"
Zhe nodded in agreement, but then became a little worried.
"But it is precisely because Jiayin is completely without disguise that she is more vulnerable."
"Will not."
Evelin turned her face slightly, and it seemed as if the words she just said were not spoken to others, but were whispered to herself.
I just mentioned the surprise, and here it comes. A familiar figure is running towards us from a distance.
"E-fu-! Help! Zhe, Ling, you're here too!"
Jiayin immediately greeted the brother and sister after noticing them, while Evelin looked at her worriedly.
"what happened?"
"I just got scolded by the music director. I got really mad. It was terrifying!"
Hearing Jiayin's relaxed words at this moment, Evelin breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt a little helpless.
"...That's definitely not the director's fault. How's the writing of your final piece going? You've broken all 20 deadlines, and today is the final submission date."
"Eh? Ah, serving everyone ordinary food won't work! As long as inspiration strikes, it's fine!"
"So the director is relying on me to defeat him before inspiration strikes, right?"
Evelin couldn't help but sigh softly, as if she had expected it, to which Jiayin responded with a playful smile.
"Eve said she would protect me no matter what danger it was! Now, it's time to escape the monster [Crazy Manuscript Director]."
"I'm so sorry, but that's a monster outside of my area of responsibility."
"Ah, why is this!"
Jiayin put her hands behind her back, lowered her head slightly, and pouted with some dissatisfaction.
Seeing this scene, Ling couldn't help but smile and looked at Zhe beside her.
"This conversation feels so familiar, doesn't it, brother?"
"Indeed! Conversations like this happen every day between an unreliable sister and a shrewd and capable brother."
Suddenly, a roar from the Dantian interrupted the conversation of several people...
"Evelyn! Stop protecting her! There's not even a score! Not even a score! What are we going to do with the last song? Improvise? Huh?!"
Facing the furious director's attack, Jiayin took Zhe's hand without hesitation, and ran away without saying a word. Evelin, who followed closely behind, couldn't help but smile bitterly.
At work, there are always unexpected situations that need to be dealt with outside of responsibilities...
After a thrilling game of hide-and-seek, the furious director still lost his target... Evelyn led everyone into the dark and watched the director leave in disappointment.
“Eh? W-why is it gone…? How did you run so fast in high heels?!”
Shortly after the man who said this left, a tightly closed door next to him slowly opened a crack, revealing the four people hiding inside.
"Alas, poor director. I'm afraid we'll really have to work off the script until the last minute..."
Evelin stroked her forehead with her hand in some distress, but at this moment a female voice came from the side.
"Haha, my family member was like that back then."
She was an elegant middle-aged woman wearing a white dress. Time had left traces on her face, but she still looked as graceful as before.
"Ah...you are!"
Evelin immediately recognized the other person's identity and then introduced him to the three people beside her.
"Jia Yin, this lady is the VIP specially invited by the company for this concert—"
"Mrs. Deventer! I never thought I'd actually meet you! You coming to see my performance in person is like..."
Before Evelin could finish her words, Jiayin spoke excitedly, even the shape of her pupils changed into a four-pointed star.
The Great Wave
It's not hard to see that she admires this lady very much.
"Just call me Tessa."
Mrs. Tessa introduced herself very kindly, and then her eyes happened to notice the CD in Jiayin's hand.
"Ah, is this album...?"
Yes, that was Deventer's album. After realizing this, Tessa spoke in a slightly tactful manner.
"Although it's a bit presumptuous to bring this up now that the show is about to start, could you lend it to me for a moment?"
Chapter 330 Evelin's Identity Revealed
Mrs. Tessa took the legendary album from Jiayin, staring at it carefully, seeming to be very emotional.
"Everyone says that you are the rising star who will inherit the mantle of Youlan Deventer. Although I am sorry to say this, in my heart, no one can replace Youlan."
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Zhe seemed to hear a hint of ferocity in the lady’s words, which made Jiayin, the person involved, feel a little embarrassed.
"Ah... You, Youlan's music has always guided me. If it weren't for Youlan, I would never, ever be able to get to where I am today!
Oh yeah! I also wanted to thank you! I've always wanted to honor him with this show...and it's such an honor to hear from the company that they've authorized it!"
Jiayin expressed her gratitude sincerely, and the light in the room illuminated her smile. In contrast, Mrs. Tessa, who stood with her back to him, had a gloomy expression on her face.
"A tribute...? Today is your Star Ring debut. Actually, you can just sing your own song. Youlan... is already a person of the past..."
Tessa said this with some emotion, and then took a step to leave, but Jiayin didn't think so.
"No, no, Youlan's music has long transcended time and space. It's the best! It has always been my dream to pay tribute to him at the Star Ring!"
"Oh, so that's the case—then I wish you a successful performance."
Mrs. Tessa said this expressionlessly, and then handed the album back to Jiayin, who didn't seem to notice anything.
After happily agreeing, he watched the other party close the door and leave, while the three people beside him fell silent when they saw this.
At this moment, Evelyn was wondering why Madam Tessa was here. After all, this box had the best view and was usually reserved for distinguished guests.
In order to prevent people in the company from making random comments, she made the decision in Jiayin's name. Was it really just a coincidence that Mrs. Divent was here just now?
Or, could it be that the other insider they planted in the company is...
The best way to dispel suspicion is to dig out the truth, so after Evelin made up her mind, she told Jiayin.
Afterwards, she left temporarily on the pretext of work, and after leaving the room, she immediately chased in the direction where Mrs. Tessa had gone.
"Eve looks worried, is it really about work?"
Jiayin couldn't help but feel a little worried as she looked at the direction the other person left. As best friends, they both understood each other's personalities.
“Well, Miss Evelin is a very cautious person, so Jiayin doesn’t have to worry too much.”
As Zhe spoke, he looked in the direction where Evelin left, and Lingbie nodded in agreement at this time.
"Brother is right, but the performance is about to start. Isn't Jiayin going backstage now?"
"Well, don't worry. If you go there too early, the director might still be angry..."
While the three of them were having a pleasant conversation, Evelyn on the other side had already cracked the enemy's code for communication.
"The clue pointed by the codeword should be - landing in the courtyard at 8 pm.
Humph, you really trust me. You won't leak the details of the gathering to me, a "spy," until the last moment, right?
Evelin snorted coldly and sneered. It seemed that the people from Fuge had never believed in her from the beginning to the end. No wonder they would plant another traitor in Di Gao.
If it were me, I would definitely arrange this dual infiltration strategy. Besides keeping each other in check, if one was exposed, the other would always be there as a backup plan.
"Well, whoever arranged this is someone quite resourceful."
Evelyn said as she prepared to tell Hobson about the attack as soon as possible and have his men deal with it. As for herself, she would confirm the identity of the other insider as soon as possible.
At this moment, the communicator rang.
"Secretary General Hobson..."
"There's a security breach that needs to be addressed immediately. Where are you?"
"I've also found a lot of clues related to Fugue, and I need to report them to you in person."
Evelyn's words surprised Hobson, but the latter still asked about the former's location.
This made Evelin frown slightly. If she was not mistaken, the other party should want to attack her.
But it's okay. We can take this opportunity to lure him and his men to the courtyard. This should be able to stop Fugue's attack.
"Meet in the atrium."
"The atrium? Okay, I'll be waiting there."
Hobson's words had a deeper meaning. After hanging up the communicator, Evelin breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of bitterness and reluctance on her face.
"Finally... I can't hide it anymore. It's time to reveal the truth."
Evelin was worried that Jiayin would be disappointed after her identity was exposed, but there was no point in worrying now.
"Now that we have information on Fugue and the others, let's deal with this problem first. As for who the other insider is... we'll have to wait and see."
Before I knew it, the concert was about to start...
Evelin took a deep breath and walked towards the courtyard...
We can't be too harsh on Hobson's men; they're the ones who'll stop Fugue. Once the two sides engage, we'll have time to investigate the conspiracy of the traitor.
"Evelyn Chovalier, who was a producer on 'Lucky Star on the Lido' and then worked as an assistant director at Pella Factory Pictures for three years, started working for our company two years ago after being recommended by Monica...
What a nice resume. But unfortunately, this isn't the real you, is it? "Shele's Blue!"
Hobson's voice was very loud in the atrium. Evelin, who had anticipated this, did not speak, but looked at him silently.
"It's truly unsettling that such a highly regarded elite within the spy organization is lurking near our most valuable asset.
The nails planted by Fugue need to be removed immediately, don't they? "
"Is this what the young lady meant?"
Evelyn asked calmly, at which Hobson couldn't help but laugh.
"Oh, you don't really think that woman has such a thing as [autonomy], do you?
I just said that she is just a valuable asset of our company. She has no right to interfere in the group's decision-making.
“…The one who is not qualified is me.”
Evelin lowered her head slightly, her tone somewhat dejected. She knew clearly that Jiayin would never give such an order, but she couldn't help but suspect and plot, and finally asked...
"Even if you are in the sunshine, what crawls out from the darkness is ultimately a shadow..."
Evelyn uttered a self-deprecating remark in a low, small voice, but in the blink of an eye, her face became firm as she looked resolutely at Hobson and his men in front of her.
