Su Mian really wanted this contract, as it would greatly help her get promoted at Starry.
However, it's really not good to readily agree to things you can't do.
Su Mian honestly replied, "I really can't do that."
Gu Yuanqiu: "It's alright, I've already contacted a top-tier audio engineer. You'll just need to connect an extra cable to your device, and we can do remote online audio editing."
Gu Yuanqiu: "Even if something goes wrong along the way... and we ultimately can't help him, it's okay. I just hope that when he can't take the blow and might want to commit suicide, you can lend a helping hand."
My goodness, technology has evolved to this level.
They even have remote audio editing!
Su Mian felt that it wouldn't be too difficult to save the day, so she agreed.
Yu Liqi sat beside them the whole time, listening to Su Mian and Gu Yuanqiu chat with a smile on her face.
After they finished talking, Yu Liqi rested her chin on her hand and said with envy, "I wish I could switch families with Gu Yichen. I really want a mother like that."
"His mother couldn't bear to say a bad word about him. My parents, on the other hand, never said a good word about me, which made me feel inferior and introverted from a young age."
Su Mian patted Yu Liqi's shoulder, praising her excellence frankly and naturally. "What's wrong with your personality? This is the personality of someone focused on their career! You're much more capable than Gu Yichen!"
"Your success in your career is entirely due to your own efforts. Even your family doesn't know what you do, let alone help you. You have no right to blame your family."
"He benefited from the career path his mother paved for him and the wealth accumulated by his family over generations, which led to his success. And now, he blocks his own mother over the slightest disagreement... My God."
Su Mian frowned, shook her head, and looked disgusted.
So what if they are elite doctors? So what if they are the future heirs to large medical groups?
His personality is really quite immature.
Therefore, she felt that Gu Yichen was no match for Yu Liqi at all!
Yu Liqi tore open her family's umbrellas and discovered that it wasn't raining at all outside.
Gu Yichen tore open his family's umbrella, immediately letting them know that it was windy, rainy, and sunny outside.
Yu Liqi listened to her with a smile in her eyes. People who are internally conflicted need a friend who loves to praise them. Every time she talked with Su Mian, she felt particularly comfortable, and her inferiority complex would disappear.
She really should get a psychology certificate!
-
Su Mian started working.
At this moment, Fang Nuonuo had just asked her classmates to help her connect the equipment.
Su Mian went backstage and, following Gu Yuanqiu's remote instructions, began connecting the wires to facilitate subsequent remote audio editing.
Fang Nuonuo quickly noticed her actions.
She intended to go directly to stop them.
But then she suddenly saw that on the other end of Su Mian's phone screen, she was video chatting with Gu Yuanqiu.
She stared for a moment, then slightly raised the corners of her lips, turned around, and left to find Gu Yichen.
"I just saw Su Mian talking to your mother on the phone, and then Su Mian ran backstage, seemingly trying to sabotage something..."
Gu Yichen was skeptical.
He felt that since they were all young people of the same age, they should be able to empathize with each other's frustration and helplessness at being controlled by their families.
How could she possibly side with her own mother?
He personally went backstage to take a look...
What? She's actually video chatting with her mom! And they're talking about something like connecting wires!
Gu Yichen walked straight over, snatched Su Mian's phone, turned off the video, and asked her incredulously, "Why did you do this?"
Su Mian glanced at Fang Nuonuo, who was smiling and looking this way from not far away, and knew that it was Fang Nuonuo who had complained.
But then I noticed that Gu Yichen's favorability rating had dropped to 20...
Su Mian looked at Fang Nuonuo with eyes full of gratitude.
Thank you!
If it weren't for you, I don't even want to imagine how difficult my task would have been!
She quickly looked away, then at Gu Yichen, and instead of answering, asked, "Are you cutting ties with your mother?"
Gu Yichen was slightly taken aback. "Actually, I..."
Of course not.
He never considered leaving the Gu family.
I blocked my mom today just so she wouldn't bother me about what I was doing tonight.
However, before he could say anything, Su Mian pointed it out.
Su Mian said, "I bet you definitely wouldn't. Your mother has supported your education, paved the way for you, and left the family business to you all these years... You can't do without your mother's help at all. You're such an ingrate; just because of this one thing, you've negated all the good your mother has done for you."
Su Mian stared at the data.
He's finally reached his Disgust Points! It's 20!
Very good!
Finally, I hit his sore spot!
Gu Yichen's eyes darkened. "You must have a very happy family to say such things so casually. You have no idea how much a controlling mother can harm her child. Take today's incident, for example. I was full of anticipation; I was about to reach my dream... but she sent you to stop me!"
Su Mian said slowly, "You can't blame your mother, because I was the one who told her about it."
Gu Yichen was taken aback. "Why did you do this?"
Su Mian: "Because your mother promised me a global spokesperson contract for Gu Group's Medical."
She would pause for a few seconds after each sentence to check his progress bar.
Then find what he cares about most and keep working on it.
"Your mom loves you very much and knows she can't stop you, so she had me connect to the phone earlier. Actually, she wanted a top-tier audio engineer to fix your sound and help you achieve your dream."
"And I'm only doing this because I can profit from you."
Gu Yichen's Disgust Points gradually increased.
Seeing that the price increase had stopped, Su Mian continued to rise.
Do you remember what I said on my first day on the show?
I told him I wanted to marry a rich man.
"However, I gradually realized that instead of marrying a rich man, it would be better to climb up by stepping on you rich men and become a rich woman myself."
The Disgust Points is rising again!
Su Mian held her breath, staring at the last few points.
When there were five o'clock left, it stopped moving again.
Su Mian continued, "Do you still want this million-dollar audio editor? I'm doing this for your own good; I really don't want you to die a horrible death."
It's gone up again!
finally!
swell!
Very good!
The progress bar is grayed out!
This time, by exploiting various bugs, I completed yet another task!
Once this episode ends, go back and trick Duan Xuanyu into quitting the show, so he can be removed from his task list.
That completes the mission, and you can go home!
She doesn't even need to finish recording the entire show!
Instead of congratulating her, the system said helplessly, "[I've learned my lesson. Next time I assign a task, I'll make sure to clearly state the target's name. I won't just say something carelessly and let the task taker exploit a bug due to inaccurate wording!]"
What if they have the same name?
[I must clearly state the target's name, age, gender, ID number, and life experience... so they can never find a bug in my hands again!]
I feel sorry for its next mission taker, but it has nothing to do with her anymore.
Just as Su Mian was getting excited, she heard Gu Yichen say, "I don't need your sound engineer! I will prove with my own abilities that I can succeed even if I leave my family!"
Since Su Mian had already achieved the result she wanted, she no longer looked at him with such calculation.
Instead, it showed more compassion.
It matches her current old-age makeup perfectly.
She smiled and patted his shoulder, "Then hurry up and get it done."
