Su Liu is a well-known angel investor in the industry, having partnered with many projects. Compared to those low-budget yet explosively popular works, "City of Spark" could only be conside...
Shallow Hell
As for the second generation who verbally threatened to take revenge on Su Liu, Su Liu arranged a more ups and downs plot for him.
Let’s not talk about it here for now.
After Su Liu comforted Ji He and he went back to sleep, he climbed out from the windowsill beside the bed.
Manager Ji was just a pseudo-vampire, and his hearing was worse than that of a pure-blood vampire, so he did not notice Su Liu's little movement.
After landing lightly, Su Liu found a blind spot and whispered to Qi Fengling, "It's inconvenient for you to live with us."
Qi Fengling had known that this day would come, he just didn't expect it to come so soon.
"Yeah," Qi Fengling squeaked sensibly and poked his head out from the collar.
Su Liu quickly covered her face. At this moment, a feeling called "appearance anxiety" suddenly came over her.
Regret, inferiority, fear...
All kinds of complex emotions are intertwined.
In front of his beloved, Su Liu also took off his feathered clothes and became an ordinary person.
"Su Liu," Qi Fengling transformed into a human form, smiled, and gently held Su Liu's wrist with his hand, "Let me see."
As he said this, he did not exert any force with his hands, but just held them loosely.
Su Liu could even imagine Qi Fengling's relaxed and tender brows through his smiling voice.
But Su Liu was still a little unhappy. This makeup was really different from before. Su Liu herself felt sick when she saw it. She really didn't want to challenge Qi Fengling's limits in this way. "No, it's ugly."
When it comes to portraying ugliness, Ang Lee is clearly more adept than Su Liu, pushing the boundaries of human perception of ugliness. Su Liu, in this disaster film, simply standing there, is enough to capture the theme. This kind of ugliness is so uncontrollable that it causes physical discomfort. Perhaps even the mud spots casually scattered by the Creator are more striking than this.
Su Liu never thought that Qi Fengling's liking for him had nothing to do with his appearance.
"You don't look like this, so why bother about it," Qi Fengling leaned over and kissed the back of Su Liu's hand, coaxing her good-temperedly.
"That won't do either," Su Liu said, somewhat exasperatedly. He'd indeed harbored some malicious intent to test Qi Fengling when he'd only changed his skin color. But his current appearance gave him the spectral, beastly air of someone in the final stages of brain herniation, like a demon crawling from hell, definitely not a human creature. He'd happily take revenge on a scumbag, but he'd be willing to test his naturally beautiful boyfriend with this face...
He can't do it.
He didn't want to be the villain in "Beauty and the Devil".
Nor do they want to become the cornerstone of praising "truth, goodness and beauty" as more important than "appearance".
As he thought about it, he suddenly became angry: It was all Qi Fengling's fault. He raised his aesthetic standards and made his tolerance for ugliness extremely low.
"You're so annoying, don't look at me," Su Liu still covered her face tightly, and raised her foot to kick Qi Fengling's knee based on her feeling.
Qi Fengling did not hide or evade, allowing Su Liu to vent his emotions.
"Okay." Qi Fengling no longer insisted and pinched Su Liu's waist with a smile.
"Then turn around, I'm going to let go." It was not a good idea to keep covering her face like this, Su Liu was a little tired.
The sound of footsteps turning around was faintly heard, and when Su Liu took his hand away, Qi Fengling was already standing obediently with his back to him.
The moonlight scattered some fragments of light, falling on the tips of Qi Fengling's hair and shoulders, making him look as tall and straight as a bamboo and full of character.
She is truly unrivaled in beauty.
If Qi Fengling had not grown up under the care of Su Liu's good friend, and if his character and inner qualities were not good enough, Su Liu might really think that he was a customized scammer, and that a rich O like Su Liu was his prey to achieve class crossing, and conquering Su Liu was his most important project and job.
Su Liu laughed.
He had met too many people with bad intentions. When he was still a minor, some banquet waiters (students working during the summer vacation) who thought they were good-looking tried to deceive Su Liu by saying, "You are always surrounded by bodyguards, you must be longing for freedom." Su Liu could see through this kind of gold digger at a glance.
Maybe they knew that people like them were just commodities for the rich to entertain themselves, so they specifically picked on small Os like Su Liu.
Su Liu really hates this kind of ignorant gold digger. Even if he has read books and understood some principles, he is still so contemptuous and only wants to make quick money. He won't even let go of a little Omega. No matter how handsome he looks, he is just a pile of rotten bones.
Why do they think that their appearance is so valuable? Su Liu will definitely be attracted to them?
But it wasn't Su Liu's turn to take action that day. His parents were there too. This birthday party was hosted by a distant relative of a partner who lived thousands of miles away. To give them some face, the two of them also showed up. Although they couldn't recognize Su Liu for some reason, they still kept an eye on her.
As they arrived, one after the other, they happened to see Su Liu surrounded by a few young, seemingly decent-looking waiters. How could they not understand what they were up to? They were immediately furious and went to find the organizers...
Su Liu also heard about what happened later from the official news media.
It is said that the group of people are from a private organization called "Cowherd Agency". Their diplomas are just a bargaining chip to increase their value. Their main job is to marry into a wealthy family.
There is also a mature strategy for brainwashing rich Omegas.
In the strategy, "young, beautiful female Omegas" are identified as the top quality customers.
There are three reasons: 1. They are young and have less experience, so they are easier to handle; 2. If they are beautiful, they will not doubt the motives of the beautiful woman, and their psychological defenses will be easier to break through; 3. Female Omegas are usually more likely to fall into illusory love and are more easily moved by cheap flattery.
They are also repeat offenders, and there are several success stories in the institutional culture, which are printed in the preface of the strategy book like "outstanding graduates", becoming their industry benchmark and motivation for striving for it.
Su Liu was really impressed.
With this kind of perseverance, what can't you do?
But we can't blame the suppliers entirely. If some people don't want a fresh and exciting encounter, why would they use external waiters at a private party? It just happened that the ones who came were "professionals."
If the applicant is a newbie who really wants to work and study, it would be a different story.
Su Liu put her arms around Qi Fengling's waist from behind and rested her head on his shoulder.
He thought he was lucky.
When he was young and most vulnerable, a good friend gave him a golden finger, which kept him away from some people with ulterior motives.
When he was young, everyone around him was carefully selected, honest and kind people, and he never thought of this protection as a shackle.
After becoming an adult, his mature mind enabled him to be mentally prepared and capable of handling emergencies when he knocked on the door to the secular world.
Compared with him, many people in this world have to walk barefoot in the wind and rain alone, and even if they fall, they can only cry helplessly.
For example, a broken family of origin, a toxic female rival "best friend", a smelly boyfriend with advanced cancer...
One time, when Su Liu was chatting with a friend about something in the school's scenic area, she heard a female Omega squatting in a rapeseed field with her knees hugged, crying heart-wrenchingly.
The voice was extremely penetrating and infectious.
Hearing the girl's desperate and powerless crying, Su Liu's friend's eyes actually turned red.
Su Liu was a little surprised at the time.
How could there be someone as miserable as her in this world? She is obviously good-looking and was named the most beautiful girl in a class. She is not bad at studying and has a good personality, although a little naive at best. But perhaps it is this aura of weakness in her that makes her always surrounded by jackals, tigers and leopards.
She cried so hard that time because her best friend spread a rumor that she was infected with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) and sent a photoshopped diagnosis to the class group. Afterwards, she pretended to be joking and said that she had originally wanted to send it to her, but unexpectedly a new message suddenly popped up in the group, and she accidentally sent it to the wrong person.
However, her explanation was vague.
"Don't make blind guesses, there's no such thing."
"No, she's not sick."
"Baby, I'm withdrawing, please don't be angry with me."
Remarks like these gradually confirmed the rumor.
Su Liu's friend, the Holy Father, was furious when he heard this and took the time to investigate the girl's background.
This girl was from a farming family. Her family didn't have much money. Her parents were farmers. She relied on her own efforts to get into this school. Although this school was an aristocratic school, it also had several golden majors that met the key admission score line. This girl was studying such a major.
But after all, it has a reputation as an aristocratic school, and its infrastructure is better than other schools, so the tuition, accommodation and other fees are relatively high. The girl's parents have a hard time supporting her, so she has to borrow money to go to school.
When she went to college, she was no different from other Omegas. She loved dressing up, socializing, and working part-time. Soon, she had a boyfriend.
Life seems to become very warm.
The turning point happened one afternoon after class.
The girl's parents came over.
At that time, the girl was chatting and laughing with her best friend and boyfriend, carrying her bags and preparing to go for dinner.
A middle-aged couple, dressed in muddy refugee uniforms, stopped her and forced her to hand over her salary without explanation.
She cried. Why did her parents embarrass her like this? They had good clothes, so why did they dress like this on purpose?
And asked her for money.
They didn't pay her any tuition fees, only gave her a symbolic living allowance in the first month of the first semester, and never cared about her again after that. In the past few years, she found a high-paying part-time job and finally paid back part of her tuition fees. During the Chinese New Year, she happily shared it with her parents to reduce the burden on them. Unexpectedly, just one month later, it became a proof for her parents to ask her for money.
"Your brother dropped out of school and wants to do business. As his sister, you have to give him some money," the parents showed their ugly faces.
Her money didn't come from the wind, so was tutoring an easy job? If the child she was teaching wasn't obedient, she had to put on a smile and swallow her anger. If the parents didn't cooperate, her job became even more difficult. The money she had saved was only enough for next semester's tuition, leaving her with no extra to support her uneducated Alpha brother.
"You won't give it to me? Then I'll expose the fact that you're so naughty at such a young age and actually became the mistress of an old Alpha," her mother said with a sneer.
The girl was shocked. "When did I do such a thing?"
"How do you get your money if you don't have any?" her father continued. "Ten thousand a year? Do you take me and your mother for fools? Do you know how long we'd have to work to earn that much? If you weren't a whore, what else could you do to earn that much?"
The girl cried in anger, and she felt sad about her parents' shallow understanding.
But after seeing the curious and strange looks of her best friend and boyfriend not far away, as well as the people around who came to watch the fun and pointed and talked without knowing the reason, in order to calm things down as soon as possible, she took her parents to the ATM to withdraw money.
That was the hard-earned money she had saved.
Afterwards, she sent her parents to the train station alone.
She had originally wanted them to buy a sleeper berth. If the money had been hers, they would have agreed immediately. But the money was already in their hands; it was their own money, and how could they not be frugal with their own money? So they refused without hesitation.
