Deliveryman: "No, I swear on my professional ethics that everything I said is true. I also overheard them talking about how they absolutely had to be responsible for the child..."
Deliveryman: "Sir, they've already gotten to the point of talking about raising children, you should just let it go."
Without saying a word, Lu Zhou hung up the phone, stubbed out his cigarette, and gave the deliveryman a bad review.
★☆☆☆☆[You're being long-winded.]
He then sent a message to Su Mian's agent. "Bring Su Mian to the Rising Sun Hotel for a meeting tomorrow!"
He wanted to ask Su Mian in person.
They'd only broken up fifteen days ago, where would she get a child from!
At Su Mian's home.
Duan Xuanyu is here tonight because of that dog.
Su Mian initially agreed to let him leave the puppy there for the time being.
She'll take the puppy to the vet for its vaccinations tomorrow, and then pick it up and take it to the Duan Family.
Upon arrival, Duan Xuanyu took the initiative to bathe the puppy.
As I washed, I got completely soaked, so I changed into my pajamas.
When he said "being responsible for the child," he meant that he had promised Xiaoli that he would take good care of the puppy.
If you promise something to a child, you have to be responsible for it.
If it weren't for this series of moves, would Su Mian have allowed herself to stay here overnight?
Duan Xuanyu couldn't help but applaud his own wisdom.
At this moment, he sat on the sofa, propping his head up with one hand, quietly watching Su Mian make a bed for the puppy.
He participated in that dating reality show so he could see her every day.
Now that the show is on break, if they don't live together, won't they go three days without seeing each other?
Absolutely not.
Su Mian laid out the dog bed, and the puppy stomped around on the mat a few times, then lay down and rubbed against Su Mian's hand, whimpering a few times as if thanking her for taking it in.
The puppy fell asleep in no time.
Su Mian also planned to wash up and go to bed.
Then she received a call from her agent, informing her to attend a meeting at the hotel the next day.
It was a serious meeting.
The board members of Starry Entertainment hold a gathering at this hotel once a month.
Because this hotel is very large and has complete facilities, including a golf course and a racetrack...
The board members went there for meetings, which also served as a team-building activity.
But if you ask her, a junior employee, she can't get a word in edgewise.
I just want her to work overtime!
After hanging up the phone, Su Mian cursed, "Those damn capitalists make me angry every day!"
Duan Xuanyu, standing behind him, immediately chimed in. "Born, and make him the crown prince. Whatever you give birth to, make him the crown prince."
Su Mian: "I'm not angry with you."
Duan Xuanyu: "I'll raise even those that aren't mine."
Su Mian turned and glanced at him, noticing his focused gaze and serious expression.
He's such a good person; he'd even be willing to raise anything she gave birth to.
But this made her even more worried.
Because there's really nothing we can do about him.
I don't know how to seduce him.
I told him directly that I didn't love him and that I was lying to him; I used that on the very first day.
I've tried hitting him and scolding him.
His Affection Points remains unshakable.
Su Mian mentally reviewed the data panel.
I plan to check my progress to give myself some comfort.
etc!
Su Mian was suddenly startled!
Why are Huang Han and Yang Bingchuan's names also appearing in my data panel?
And they're all grayed out, all already achieved!
It's easy to understand why these two people have such a high Disgust Points for her.
After all, one of them got himself arrested, and the other ruined his own career.
Su Mian immediately asked the system in her mind, "By the way, the task you initially gave me was to max out the Disgust Points of all the male guests on the dating reality show."
"You didn't specify the male guest's name, which means anyone can come."
"So, as long as a new male guest comes to this dating show, he'll become one of my targets?"
[Sobbing... This bug was caused by the imprecise language used when issuing the task.]
[But don't worry, Master, it's alright. Although these people will be your targets for a short time, they'll come and go, so it's not a big deal.]
[These two were only listed because they were fully active during the mission; otherwise, they wouldn't have left any trace of their existence.]
[So I'm too lazy to proactively report data to my owner.]
Su Mian showed no sadness whatsoever, only excitement.
"If one comes, it adds one; if one leaves, it subtracts one?"
The system was silent for a moment, then screamed!
[What!!!]
[Wow, that's an amazing idea!]
[idiot emoji. jpg]
Su Mian knew she had guessed correctly!
"If I just get rid of all the difficult male guests and replace them with some easier ones, wouldn't I complete the task in no time?"
[Theoretically, it's possible, but I advise the host not to do it recklessly. After all, you don't know if the newly added male guest will be easier to get; what if it's even harder?]
"But it's also possible that, like Huang Han and Yang Bingchuan, they could max out their stats in no time?"
[Master, you're not the owner of Starry Entertainment; you can't interfere with the selection of program guests.]
"Why don't I just become its boss?"
Anyone with a dream is remarkable.
Su Mian could think this way because it was highly feasible.
Because every December, Starry Entertainment awards shares to outstanding artists at its anniversary celebration, and these artists also gain voting rights on the board of directors.
There are two months left.
Her current statistics at the company are already excellent, but because she only started to gain momentum after appearing on this dating reality show, she is still weaker than some artists who have been consistently popular.
We need to earn more...
Oh, and after the show, Director Zhao gave her Xiaohu's father's business card and invited her to audition for the lead role.
Su Mian immediately added Director Zhang's contact information and scheduled an audition.
She doesn't actually need to become the president of Starry Entertainment.
All she wants is a promotion and a voice on the show!
Duan Xuanyu rested his chin on one hand and stared at Su Mian for a long time.
Seeing her go from despair to excitement, to joy, to exhilaration...
He asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Su Mian looked at him quietly without saying a word.
If changing guests really works... then the future development will be that she replaces Duan Xuanyu with anyone who dislikes her, and quickly maxes out her ratings.
When my mission is complete, I will leave this world.
Duan Xuanyu will never be able to find her again.
This abrupt loss of contact was enough to make Duan Xuanyu hate her.
Once his conditions for returning to Northern Liang are met, he will naturally return to his homeland.
Duan Xuanyu was also looking at her.
Su Mian's eyes now look just like they did before she left Northern Liang without a word, filled with guilt and a helpless resignation.
He gently took her hand. "It's okay."
Anyway, it's not the first time.
6:00 AM the next day.
Su Mian was woken up by a phone call.
The agent's voice came from the other end. " Mianmian, where are you? The hotel where the meeting is being held is so far away. We need to leave now."
If it were a paid shift, she would be willing to get up and work overtime.
She wouldn't attend a meeting that was clearly meant to mess with her.
She went to Taobao to take a look.
The professional photo editing service for requesting leave that I ordered last night is already finished.
It is a very authentic hospital medical record.
She sent the picture to her agent.
"Please tell Lu Zhou that I have contracted an infectious disease and need to rest at home for three days to recover. I've also sent someone to deliver some gifts to him as an apology."
After sending it, I ordered a cake online.
He gave her the Black Swan beer last night, didn't he? It was delicious.
Today, she returned the favor.
I ordered the cheapest cake from the food delivery platform, wrote a note, and had it delivered to where Lu Zhou was having a meeting.
I'm done. I'll shut down the computer and go back to sleep.
Lu Zhou knew it was fake as soon as he saw the hospital record.
He was very angry.
But when his agent told him that Su Mian had actually sent him a cake as an apology, he was shocked.
He also suspected that Su Mian might actually be sick.
He specifically asked the waiter to bring the cake to the conference room.
When he entered the meeting room, the cake was already placed on his seat.
He walked to his seat and sat down.
A middle-aged, balding male shareholder suddenly stood up, moved away from him in alarm, and ran to a female shareholder, saying, "Let's switch seats."
The female shareholder switched with him.
Lu Zhou glanced at the middle-aged shareholder with a puzzled look, but didn't ask any further questions, and looked down at his cake.
Read carefully what's written on the cake.
Lu Zhou was so angry that his vision went black.
