The Mermaid's System (Part 2) "I am your father, I...
After confessing everything he knows, Chong Huan will receive the punishment he deserves. At the same time, due to the uncertainty of his rebirth, he will be observed by state agencies for a long time.
After learning the result of his handling of the matter, Chong Huan immediately became emotional.
He said, he clearly didn't do anything, the whole world's course had clearly changed, it was clearly time for him to be reborn from his previous life, and he clearly wouldn't cause any harm to society, so why should he be monitored?
He was unwilling to accept it.
He knew how capable he was, so he had already made sufficient preparations for his retirement and reached a cooperation with the company to ensure that before retiring, he would maximize the conversion of his fame into profits. Then he boarded my ship and made several heavy investments based on his judgment of the future situation, becoming my confidant.
According to the accounts of his company's executives, he was not a little sheep persecuted by the company, but a cunning, greedy hunter with huge ambitions.
Now, all the advantages this hunter had in his previous life will be wiped out, and under state surveillance, he will not be able to make any profit by any illegal means. How can he be willing to accept this?
Before he was expedited to a special prison to serve his sentence, he was still shouting that he wanted to see me.
In the video, he was still struggling desperately under the supervision of two guards, "I have made perfume for the president! I have made plans for the president! You can't do this to me! I want to see the president! I want to see the president!"
The team asked me if I wanted to go see him.
I thought about it and decided to go.
When Chong Huan saw me, he eagerly stretched his neck in my direction and said anxiously, "Boss! Do you like the candle I gave you last time? I can give you the formula, as well as other formulas, all of them! As long as you are willing to bail me out and take me to do business!"
I looked at him with interest. Just three days ago, he seemed to be confident about everything, but now he looked like a desperate and helpless person.
When he plagiarized the songs of young singers and then turned around and accused them of plagiarism, cutting off the only hope of one of the singers and causing the singer to commit suicide amid online outrage - did he ever imagine that he would one day end up in such a miserable state?
I didn't answer him, but just asked, "Why do you think I like this scent?"
He was stunned for a moment, and whispered, "In my previous life, I had the honor of meeting you once, and you smelled like this at that time. Later, after your perfumer died, I..."
"What?"
I interrupted with a frown, "He's dead?"
Chong Huan's whole body trembled slightly, "Yes, yes..."
He looked at me cautiously, and as I looked at him, his figure gradually became shorter.
"I, I didn't do it. I was just a small 18th-tier singer in my previous life. I don't know about things of your level..."
With an expression of panic that he could not hide, he tried desperately to defend himself, "Really, please believe me! I just wanted to replicate a similar scent to see if I could take this opportunity to get close to you. I really had no bad intentions. Many people do this! Before I died, I heard that a perfumer had taken this opportunity to become your lover."
Perhaps I was so cruel in my previous life that Chong Huan was shaking all the time and dared not mention business anymore. He told everything he knew like pouring out beans from a bamboo tube.
"Lover?" I closed my eyes and asked, "What kind of person is he?"
"She is a very gentle woman, very young, probably just reached adulthood, and very talented. I heard that her ability to replicate the scent is the most similar, so you hired her."
"But you..." Chong Huan looked at me cautiously, and under my gaze, he gritted his teeth and said, "But you have a bad temper and often lose your temper with her. Although she would cry because of your anger and was once kicked out of the car by you and walked back to the villa in the heavy rain, she still stayed by your side and took all your temper. Gradually, her relationship with you became better and better. You began to smile at her and gradually started to take her to banquets. Everyone said that maybe she would be your wife."
"I don't know what happened next. I died."
Chong Huan's eyes were out of focus, as if he was recalling something.
"How did you die?"
"……suicide."
Zhong Huan forced a smile and said, "My song, the song I am most satisfied with, was plagiarized by someone. The other party is a big star. I sued him, but he bit me back and led his fans to explode it online."
"I was abused by countless people online and doxed in real life. Paint was thrown on my door with words like 'copycat' and 'shameless' written on it. When I walked on the street, people who recognized me would point fingers at me. Even my relatives and friends thought I was shameful and cut off all contact with me."
"I can't stand it anymore."
He blinked his eyes, trying hard to suppress the moisture in his eyes, and asked me with a wry smile, "But, that song was obviously written by me. I spent half my life writing it. I did nothing wrong. Why am I the one who suffers?"
He looked at me, as if he was asking himself, but also as if he was asking me.
"So, you know how desperate they are when you accuse them of plagiarism, right?"
His whole body shuddered, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his body curled up. He slowly buried his face in his palms and let out a low whimper.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
He kept mumbling to himself, not knowing to whom he was talking.
…
The world is bustling with people, all seeking profit.
Interests can make people abandon their bottom line, lose control, and betray their former selves.
A soul without control is like a rootless duckweed.
A soul that cannot be restrained by morality needs to be held back by external force.
Violence, law, education, etiquette, or something else.
I seem to understand why I became a "tyrant" in my previous life.
The smart computer rang, it was a call from the person in charge of Huanxing Entertainment.
"President, the waterproof military program test was successful, and the network explosion detection system test was successful."
"Okay, let's go online as planned."
The person in charge hesitated and asked cautiously, "President, there is something I don't quite understand. These two programs are completely unprofitable. Why do you insist on promoting them?"
"Do charity."
"Public welfare?"
"Yes, it's a public welfare project to save lives."
Before, I thought about many possibilities as to why, three years after Chong Huan's rebirth, I still firmly believed that the direction of the entertainment industry would not change.
Later, I found out the answer.
He said that he always had a hope in his heart. He thought that since he was so miserable in his previous life, his rebirth in this life must be an opportunity given to him by God, and he must seize it well. Therefore, he had never thought about why the social environment in this life was so different from that in the previous life.
But in the final analysis, it is because the overall development direction of the entertainment industry is correct and not far from the previous life.
So I couldn't help but think of the areas I had been involved in.
It seems that after the raiders came and after I paid attention to it, the development of this field began to accelerate.
Whether it is the rapidly developing technology or the sudden rise of ancient martial arts.
Compared with other aspects, the entertainment industry is less important, so I didn’t devote too much energy to it.
Princess Mary Sue said, I am the center of the world, and I influence the development of the world.
If the probability of something happening is 50%, my attention will increase the probability by 50%.
Well, this time I am intervening in the entertainment industry and improving its atmosphere. I believe the entertainment industry will become better.
Although I am confident that even if I am not the center of the world, I will create a new world in the entertainment industry with my own actions.
Hopefully, by then, there will be no shoddy plots, no tailor-made songs, and no innocent people harmed by online trolls.
***
A week later, there was new news from the red light group.
I clicked on the information, and the first sentence was -
【It has been confirmed that the mermaid Yu Ren is indeed a human Yu Ren. 】
In the reading of the red dumpling's memory, the original truth was revealed.
Eighteen-year-old Yu Ren, after experiencing a car accident, was selected by the system and bound as a host.
The system said that as long as he completed the task well, he could resurrect his parents.
Yu Ren was taken to the dark seabed.
In the picture, the system of red light ball spits out a bubble, and the boy in the bubble has his eyes closed.
A tall adult mermaid, with arms outstretched in the sea, praying to the sea,
"Great Ocean God, I offer you the body of this human child in exchange for the body of a young mermaid. I will erase his sad memories of being human, so that only the child's pure soul, which has not been tainted by the world, can be preserved in the mermaid's body."
The boy was sleeping in the bubble, and his tall figure melted into the foam. When the foam dissipated, only a young mermaid was left there.
The little mermaid has a blue tail and black hair. When she opens her eyes, they are as blue as the sea.
He looked at the Merman King curiously and asked in a childish voice, "Who are you?"
The king looked lovingly at his blue fish tail, then into his blue eyes, his voice gentle.
"I am your father, my dear little mermaid."
