Genius Artist - Replacement of the White Moonlight for the Rich CEO

It only took 15 minutes for Lu Shijin to walk to the gate.

When he reached it, the car that was to pick him up had not yet arrived.

Lu Shijin was bored out of his mind as he waited for the car.

“Convenience store, open your system shop.

Let me see what’s in it.”

On their way over, 711 had strongly protested— it wished for Lu Shijin to respect its dignity as a system and not give it such a dumb nickname.

But Lu Shijin said that it was to show their camaraderie.

And plus, 711 was originally a convenience store, so it was its fault for having such a name.

711 was rendered speechless.

711 brought up the system shop menu.

On it were many different types of ability cards.

Some could be understood from their names, such as “Little Master Chef Card”, “Influence the Hearts of Others Card”, “Supreme Charisma Card”, etc.

There were some others that seemed to be skill cards, like “Hypnosis Card”, “Mind-Reading Card”, “Amnestic Card”, etc.

The rest were a bit strange.

They were all grayed out, as if they were locked and unable to be used.

Their names were unusual too, “Peerless Martial Art Cheats”, “Unparalleled Immortal Heart Cultivation”, “Encyclopedia on the Black Arts” .

.

.

Lu Shijin asked 711, “Why are those cards gray”

“They’re gray because they cannot be used in this world.”

Lu Shijin understood.

Every story has a different setting, so the usage of cards must agree with it.

It’s just like how you wouldn’t shout “Avada Kedavra*” and wave your wand at creatures in a cultivation world.

(*The Killing Curse from Harry Potter)

Lu Shijin finished looking through the shop and said concisely, “Give me a mind-reading card.”

711 was shocked, The story hasn’t even begun and he already wants a mind-reading card Isn’t that too careless

“The effects of mind-reading only last for 6 hours and you only have 5 free cards.

Why don’t you think it over, Host”

“No need.

Haven’t you heard of the saying, ‘Know thyself, know thy enemy, a thousand battles, a thousand victories’”

711 could only laugh dryly, “Haha, I have.”

It was crying in its heart, I’m screwed, with this host, my life ahead will be incredibly precarious!

“A mind-reading card has been redeemed, number of uses: 1.

Taking effect immediately and expires in 6 hours.

Look straight into the other person’s eyes to see their inner thoughts.”

Just as the card was redeemed, secretary Hao’s car stopped in front of the gate.

Secretary Hao got out of the car.

He seemed to be around thirty years old, without a strand of hair out of place.

That, along with his square face, made him seem like an emotionless doll.

“Hello, secretary Hao.”

711 was amazed by Lu Shijin’s acting skill.

Just a moment before, he had “Unhappy, don’t mess with me” written across his face, but he immediately became as silly and innocent as the original host.

Secretary Hao glanced at Lu Shijin, feeling nothing unusual about his bright smile.

He emotionlessly opened the car door for him.

“Greetings, Mr.

Lu.

Please come on.

Mr.

Huo is waiting for you in Yu Yuan.”

【This replacement doesn’t even know what he’s about to face.

If you knew that the person of Mr.

Huo’s heart is back, would you still be able to smile】

When Lu Shijin heard this, the hand that was about to close the door paused and he raised his head to stare at secretary Hao with an unintelligible smile.

“What is it, Mr.

Lu, do you have something to say”

Secretary Hao felt shivers crawl down his back from Lu Shijin’s stare.

He seemed to have seen a trace of pity in Lu Shijin’s eyes.

Was he blind

【No, how could I be pitied This replacement is the pitiful bug being kept in the dark.】

【He’s nothing more than a pet that Mr.

Huo occasionally teases.

Heh, he can’t even be compared to a wealthy person’s pet canary.】

Secretary Hao continued to make fun of Lu Shijin in his mind while keeping an expressionless face, not knowing that Lu Shijin heard his every thought with crystal clarity.

“Nothing.” Lu Shijin hooked his lips up in a playful smile as he looked over secretary Hao, appreciation showing in his eyes, “I just feel like you’re especially handsome today.

Have you been working out You’re in very good shape.”

Surprise flashed in secretary Hao’s eyes.

【This replacement has always only paid attention to Mr.

Huo, why would he suddenly praise me today Seems like my charisma isn’t inferior to Mr.

Huo’s.】

But as a professional secretary, he still acted indifferent.

“I follow Mr.

Huo, so I’m normally busy with work and cannot work out.

If there is nothing else, then we can leave.”

【This replacement has pretty good taste, what a shame that he’s just a brainless flowerpot.】

Secretary Hao closed the car door for Lu Shijin, then strutted to the driver’s seat like a proud cock.

Not at all noticing the ridicule that emerged on the corners of Lu Shijin’s mouth.

The ones who have no idea of what is to happen are you guys.

According to the plot, the relationship between Lu Shijin and Huo Qi changed after Ruan Siheng returned back to China.

Ruan Siheng suffered some blows when he was abroad, causing his mind to become blank whenever he picks up a brush to paint.

He couldn’t even paint a single stroke on the canvas anymore.

By chance, Ruan Siheng was over at Huo Qi’s place and saw the art left behind by Lu Shijin.

Lu Shijin’s artistic talent wasn’t inferior to Ruan Siheng’s.

He thought that Huo Qi and himself were in deep love, and drew all of his inspiration from that.

This made his art creative and daring, filled with passionate emotions and distinctive style.

Inspiration was an artist’s lifeblood.

And it was what Ruan Siheng currently needed and wanted the most.
