It was still early, and it was only eight o'clock after staying at Xie Jinzhi's place for a while. Looking at the time, Wen Runruan remembered something and opened WeChat.
That "Hi" was still lying in the contact list, with no movement. Wen Ruan unconsciously thought of last night's events. She clicked on the anime avatar, which was only visible in the Moments for three days.
Only one post was visible, a landscape photo, presumably of the sunset over Zhouzhuang. The colors were a bit dark, likely intentionally chosen, and it looked a bit depressing. Wen Ruan glanced at it thoughtfully, then clicked "like" and exited the Moments.
"Ding Dong" Just after I clicked the like button, Lin Siyao sent me a message.
[Little cutie, what are you doing? Aren’t you busy? ]
Then he sent an emoticon package of a cat secretly observing, and Wen Ruan clicked to add it and replied.
【Today is a holiday～】
I also sent an emoticon of a little girl laughing.
【Want to come out and play? 】
[No, I sprained my ankle]
[Sprained your ankle? I'll come see you and bring you some medicine. Send me your address.]
Wen Ruanruan was immediately overwhelmed by Lin Siyao's enthusiasm. How could someone be so enthusiastic?
[No need, I've already applied the medicine.]
[I remember you were heading south of Zhouzhuang. I heard there seemed to be only a new crew filming there. It must be your crew. I'll come find you later.]
“…” Holmes? She is worthy of being the heroine.
Wen Runruan stared blankly at the message sent by Lin Siyao in a hurry, and she didn't know what happened to the ice on her hand.
In the end, he put down his phone and concentrated on applying the ice. Wen Ruan had a natural trust and admiration for the original heroine.
The book portrays Lin Siyao as a woman who dares to love and hate, impulsive, yet also enjoys weighing the pros and cons. In a sense, she loves no one but herself. She knows exactly what she wants, so no one can stop her. Growing up in poverty, she understands the ways of the world and knows that relying on others is better than relying on herself.
The ice pack in her hand was almost cold, so Wen Ruan put it on the coffee table. Thinking of the time at Xie Jinzhi's place, Wen Ruan wanted to laugh. Xie Jinzhi was really easy to fool. He didn't like dealing with the ways of the world. The hero and heroine described in the book were really a good match.
I looked at my own favorability of 30, and then looked at Lin Siyao's favorability of 60 last night, and suddenly I became unhappy again. Why is the heroine easier to conquer than the hero?
She sighed. When would the next hidden mission be triggered? She had to successfully capture the hero around the time the original owner was imprisoned, otherwise, according to the system, she would be wiped out. Was she going to die again?
impossible!
Wen Ruanruan sat up from the sofa, and the phone beside her vibrated, "Open the door!" It was Xie Jinzhi!
Oh my god, Lin Siyao is coming soon. What if the hero and heroine meet early and it gets heated again? I’ll be finished!
Wen Ruanruan thought about it for a while, then replied to Xie Jinzhi: "Director Xie, my brother took me home! I'm not on the crew, what do you want to talk to me about?"
I had originally wanted to discuss some details with Wen Ruanruan after revising the script, but I didn't expect the Wen family to take him away. "I wanted to talk to you about the script I just revised, but since you're not there now, forget it. Are you coming back to the crew tonight?"
Afraid that Xie Jinzhi would hear it from outside, Wen Ruan lowered her voice and said, "I'll come back in the evening and talk to you then!"
The call was quickly hung up. Xie Jinzhi was about to ask her what she was doing and if it was inconvenient, but her voice was very low and she hung up.
Without further ado, Xie Jinzhi went downstairs to discuss the script with Song Song and Li Yi.
After arriving at the place, Lin Siyao opened her phone and sent a WeChat message to Wen Runruan.
[Which floor?]
[Top floor, I've already told the front desk, you can just come up directly]
【good】
After finally sending Xie Jinzhi away, Wen Ruan An calmly opened the tablet and waited for Lin Siyao to come.
After waiting for a few minutes, Wen Runruan still didn't hear the doorbell, so she opened her phone and checked.
[Something happened suddenly, so I asked the front desk to send the medicine and food I bought for you. Sorry.]
Looking at Lin Siyao's message, Wen Runruan suddenly remembered that the book did not describe what the heroine was doing during this period. It seemed to say in passing that three of the hot searches on July 25 were occupied by the heroine.
It seemed like something big was going on. Wen Ruan thought about it carefully. She hadn't looked very well last night, and it reminded her of Lin Siyao's extremely bad attitude towards her former employer as described in the later part of the novel.
Could it be that she wants to terminate the contract?
After figuring this out, Wen Runruan couldn't sit still anymore. This was a great opportunity to increase Lin Siyao's favorability. The reason she was not in a hurry last night was that Lin Siyao's favorability was very high from the beginning. She thought about it and sent a message to Wen Zhixing.
[Brother, is KC's Lin Siyao threatening to terminate her contract recently?]
The other side responded quickly.
"I've only heard about the recent changes in KC's shares, but I haven't heard that Lin Siyao wants to terminate her contract. Wait a minute, I'll have someone check."
【good! 】
With Wen Zhixing's help, we should be able to find it quickly. Sure enough, he replied not long after.
Lin Siyao is no ordinary person. She's been collecting scattered shares behind the scenes and now owns 10% of the shares. KC is currently struggling, and the KC executives should know it's her fault. This battle will be difficult for her, but she's not without a chance of winning.
Looking at the message sent by Wen Zhixing, she lowered her head in thought. Since she was the heroine, why not give her a hand, pull her out of the quagmire, and then inadvertently let her know that she was helping her.
"Brother, in my name, buy 15% of KC's shares. I know you've wanted to buy KC for a long time. Also, you have some dirty laundry on KC. Please help me."
Wen Zhixing was touched by his sister's words, and he suddenly felt that his sister might be growing up.
【OK】
Since Wen Ruanruan wanted KC, he would give KC to her as a birthday present. It just so happened that Ruanruan's birthday was coming soon.
Wen Zhixing agreed readily without even asking for the reason. Wen Runruan stared blankly at the crisp "OK" on the phone and couldn't help feeling some indescribable emotions.
This time she asked Wen Zhixing for help because she regarded him as an NPC that could be used. She knew he would agree because the book said he was a sister-con.
However, when Wen Zhixing agreed to Wen Runruan, she really felt that she was being pampered. She was no longer the Wen Runruan in the real world who had no worries about food and clothing in the early stage but was barely clothed in the later stage.
She seemed to be moved by the characters in the book. No matter who it was, Lin Siyao, Wen Zhixing, Wen Tiao or Qiao Qiu, they were all healing Wen Runruan.
Wen Runruan clenched the phone tightly, her fingertips gradually turning white due to excessive force, making her look somewhat pitiful.
She realized that she really lived in the book as a human being, and that these people in the book were flesh and blood, not just cold descriptions in words.
Xie Jinzhi in the book appears noble and gentle on the surface, but no one can get into her heart. Simple words cannot fully describe the contradictions of human nature, and can only be labeled.
Wen Ruanruan never thought that the people in the book were flesh and blood, not fixed NPCs.
