Chapter 163 Something
is wrong Gu Yingzhi is now being hated by everyone. Her residence is surrounded by gossip reporters. She went out and hid here and there, and finally got rid of the reporters who followed her.
In the private room, Kong Banlian had been waiting for a long time. The reason why she asked Gu Yingzhi to come out was naturally to ask clearly why the other party harmed her.
In fact, the entertainment industry is full of tit-for-tat and secret tricks. This is not new.
But Kong Banlian thought about it for a long time and didn't think that she and Gu Yingzhi were competing. She is now in a semi-retired state, while Gu Yingzhi has always been active in the public eye. In terms of influence, her current influence is not comparable to Gu Yingzhi.
Therefore, she really couldn't figure out why the other party wanted to harm her. How did she offend Gu Yingzhi to make him hate her so much that he wanted her dead?
In fact, this didn't make much sense. After all, the current situation was the most painful thing for someone like Gu Yingzhi who liked to be glamorous.
Those curses and the attitude of the company's senior management who wanted to hide her made her feel worse than death.
Moreover, Bao Mei would show up from time to time to "talk" to her. Gu Yingzhi's mental state was worrying now. She wanted to die several times, but failed.
Gu Yingzhi should have been punished, and Kong Banlian didn't need to care about him anymore. But she had no other problems except that she was very curious.
She was thinking about it to pieces at home, wondering why Gu Yingzhi wanted to hurt her.
Finally, Wu Bing, whose sleep quality has improved recently, couldn't stand her anymore, so he asked her to come and talk to Gu Yingzhi.
Wu Bing: I really want to have a good sleep, thank you!
So, Kong Banlian asked Gu Yingzhi out, but she didn't expect that he didn't refuse.
So many things have happened recently, and it is conceivable that Gu Yingzhi is not in a good state. She used to do daily maintenance, but now she is not in the mood. When she came, she didn't put on makeup and looked a little haggard and tired.
Kong Banlian wore light makeup and dressed casually, but she couldn't hide her dazzling aura. Compared with her, Gu Yingzhi felt that kind of self-pity for the first time in a long time.
"You must be very proud now, I lost to you again." Gu Yingzhi sat down opposite Kong Banlian and forced a smile.
Kong Banlian looked confused when she heard this: "We should not have had any intersection before." So why was she proud? Why did Gu Yingzhi say that he lost to her again?
Her attitude hurt Gu Yingzhi even more. She couldn't help but yelled: "You are always so high and mighty! You even forgot who I am?"
Kong Banlian: "..." She thought there was no need to ask, maybe Gu Yingzhi was just sick.
Just when Kong Banlian was thinking about whether to run away quickly, she looked at Gu Yingzhi's face, and a light bulb flashed in her head, and she finally remembered that the two of them did have an intersection.
That intersection, she did not offend Gu Yingzhi, on the contrary, she helped him.
Kong Banlian reached her peak when she debuted. Her first drama became a big hit and she began to play the leading role in major dramas.
At that time, Gu Yingzhi was just a small actress who played supporting roles everywhere.
It's a very clichéd story. In the entertainment industry, people bully newcomers by relying on their fame. In fact, no one with brains would do this. After all, how can you be sure that the person who plays your maid will become famous one day?
So most people are polite to newcomers, but there are also many people who don't have brains.
Gu Yingzhi encountered this. She was playing the maid of the third female in the crew. The third female was famous and had investors behind her. She really regarded herself as a lady and made things difficult for Gu Yingzhi if she was not satisfied.
It happened that once, the third female lead asked Gu Yingzhi to kneel down and put on her shoes, saying, "I'll bring you into the role."
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was a deliberate bullying, but no one dared to step forward to help, fearing that they would also be bullied by the third female lead.
Kong Banlian happened to come over and saw this scene. Kong Banlian had just debuted, and with some courage to help when seeing injustice, she immediately stepped forward and angrily scolded the third female lead, saving Gu Yingzhi.
Gu Yingzhi was very grateful to Kong Banlian at this time and took the initiative to talk to her. However, Kong Banlian, as the female lead, had a heavy workload and had no time to talk to her. Gu Yingzhi kept hitting a wall and was mocked by her colleagues: "I say, someone helped you once, and you still rely on her? She is the female lead, and she can still be your friend? How shameless."
If a normal person, most people would hate people who say this, but Gu Yingzhi probably has a bit of NPD personality. She thinks Kong Banlian's behavior of ignoring her hurts her self-esteem. She thinks Kong Banlian is no different from the female lead, and they are both trampling on her dignity!
It's just that Kong Banlian is smarter than the female lead, and while trampling on her, she still has to thank her.
As expected, people from different classes cannot be friends. See, no one will look you in the eye. Gu Yingzhi thought so when she came out.
She began to fantasize that she would become famous one day and stand at the same height as Kong Banlian. No, she would stand higher than Kong Banlian and look down on him!
In this way, Gu Yingzhi worked harder and harder, but it also takes luck to become popular in the entertainment industry. She became a little famous later, but it was only at the level of 18th-tier stars.
When she finally had a drama that made her popular, before she could stand in front of Kong Banlian with a high profile, the other party suddenly announced his marriage and then began to semi-retire from the circle.
Hearing this news, Gu Yingzhi was almost angry to death. What Kong Banlian did was to tell her: See, the things you are trying your best to pursue, I can easily give up.
Gu Yingzhi felt extremely powerless. If Kong Banlian had continued to be active in the entertainment industry, she might have surpassed him, but now that he had retired, she couldn't even compete with him, which made her feel deeply aggrieved.
Over the years, this hatred and frustration not only did not disappear, but instead burned like a fire, getting more and more intense.
But what else could she do except hate him? She couldn't do anything.
Until Bao Mei appeared... She was not sure if she wanted Kong Banlian to die, but she did not want him to have an easy life.
She wanted to appear in front of him in the same manner as Kong Banlian appeared in front of her that time, and she wanted him to look up to her.
But the scene she imagined did not happen. This time, she was the one being looked down upon. How could she not be ruthless when she felt the anger and humiliation again? Why could Kong Banlian always look down upon her?
To be honest, if she had not known that she had done nothing to let Gu Yingzhi down, she would have doubted herself based on the look in his eyes.
In short: Gu Yingzhi was probably ill.
In fact, Gu Yingzhi's train of thought is very simple. She can't stand the feeling that she can't compare with others. This cognition makes her extremely humiliated, so she works hard to prove that she can also be a strong person.
But after she tried her best, she found that she still couldn't beat Kong Banlian, and this desire to win turned into hatred.
Her personality is twisted. To sum it up in one sentence, it is: whoever helps me, I will hurt him, and then I will help the other party from a high position to prove that I am not a weak person.
Anyway, normal people like Kong Banlian can't understand her train of thought.
"You always act so indifferent, but the more you act like this, the more I think you are hypocritical." Gu Yingzhi gritted his teeth and said, "You can get everything easily, why do you still act like this? You don't know how much effort I have to put in to get these!"
Kong Banlian looked at Gu Yingzhi and was silent for a long time. Then she took the bag beside her and rummaged through it. Soon she found what she wanted and exhaled, "Fortunately I found it."
Seeing Kong Banlian handing over a business card, Gu Yingzhi was stunned for a moment, subconsciously took it, lowered his eyes to look, and then saw a few big words: Dr. Tian from the Department of Psychiatry.
There was also a line of small words behind it: We are more professional in treating mental illness!
Gu Yingzhi: "..."
That's right, this business card was exactly what Kong Banlian got from her friend. She originally intended to give it to Wu Bing, asking him to take a good look at it. But now, it seems that Gu Yingzhi needs it more.
She really wants to persuade him: Get treatment and stop endangering society.
Before she came, she was full of anger towards Gu Yingzhi, but now, she feels particularly peaceful. After all, who would argue with a mental patient?
She looked at Gu Yingzhi with a bit of pity, and said sincerely: "Don't worry, this doctor is very reliable, many celebrities will go to see him, he is very strict, and will not tell anyone. In our line of work, who is not a little crazy?"
Gu Yingzhi looked at Kong Banlian and said this to her so seriously, and finally came to his senses, and said angrily: "Kong Banlian, do you think I am crazy?!"
Kong Banlian thought that Gu Yingzhi was a little scary now, so she quickly grabbed her bag and slipped away when Gu Yingzhi was not paying attention.
After all, it is not illegal for a mentally ill person to kill someone, and she was afraid!
Even after running far away, she could still hear Gu Yingzhi's angry roar from the box: "Kong Banlian, you are the one with a mental illness..."
Kong Banlian could not hear the rest of the content, because she saw the reporters rushing in outside. Kong Banlian calmly pulled up her scarf, covering most of her face, and left openly under the paparazzi's nose.
The paparazzi was focused on finding Gu Yingzhi and wanted to dig up big news, so they didn't notice Kong Banlian.
Gu Yingzhi actually felt right. At least at this moment, in Kong Banlian's eyes, she was no different from a jumping little clown.
This group of paparazzi is quite efficient. Not long after, Kong Banlian saw the trending search #Gu surnamed female artist suspected of suffering from mental illness#
Kong Banlian clicked on it out of curiosity and found that she was the one who indirectly tricked Gu Yingzhi.
When Gu Yingzhi got the business card, she naturally didn't want it. How could she admit that she was mentally ill? She threw the business card away angrily. As luck would have it, a paparazzi saw her tearing something up and throwing it away. With his sharp intuition, he immediately felt that this thing was not simple.
So he went through a lot of trouble and almost went blind. Finally, he pieced together the fragments on the ground.
At first glance, it turned out to be Dr. Tian from the psychiatry department! He didn't care about anything and directly gave it an explosive title.
I didn't expect that the glamorous and beautiful actress Gu was actually mentally ill. Isn't this big news!
Seeing this, Kong Banlian turned off her phone with a guilty conscience. She estimated that Gu Yingzhi hated her even more now, and might think that she did it on purpose. But what did this have to do with her?
——
"Master Jiang, I've figured it out. I'm going to reincarnate." Bao Mei said, looking at Jiang Yiqing gratefully: "Thank you, otherwise I might accidentally kill someone."
Once a ghost kills someone, it will naturally be punished accordingly in the underworld. At that time, she only wanted to repay Gu Yingzhi's "kindness" and didn't care about these at all.
In her opinion, it is worth going through fire and water for the benefactor.
"Then you will probably have to queue up." Jiang Yiqing reminded her seriously: "Nowadays, people don't like to have children. Ghosts in the underworld have to queue up to be reborn. Uh...it should be possible to wait for dozens or hundreds of years?"
Bao Mei: "..."
She was overthinking. She originally thought that she could be reborn whenever she wanted.
She said goodbye to Jiang Yiqing with mixed feelings and floated away silently.
Jiang Yiqing watched her leave and sighed: "You really have to cherish your life!"
Xiu Yan felt that this sentence was right, but he asked: "Why do you say that suddenly?"
"After all, it's not easy to be reborn as a human being now." Jiang Yiqing smiled slightly: "Don't die easily."
Xiu Yan: "..."
In the afternoon, Dafu, who had not been seen for a long time, came happily. He had recently gone on a trip with Jin Zhijian and just came back.
"Qingqing, I brought you a specialty~" Dafu glanced at Xiuyan, not understanding why he suddenly became so scary, and shrank his neck, and couldn't help but stick close to Jiang Yiqing.
Jiang Yiqing didn't notice his movements, and asked in a particularly flattering way: "Really? What specialty?"
After he finished speaking, Dafu took out a roast duck from his bag as if he was presenting a treasure? Dafu
also had his own sound effects: "Dangdangdang~, I eat this roast duck and it tastes especially good, so I brought one for you!"
In fact, the most famous specialty of Jing City is roast duck, but Dafu doesn't care about these, he just happened to eat a delicious roast duck and wanted to share it with Jiang Yiqing.
Jiang Yiqing naturally praised: "It looks delicious."
"Of course! I can confirm it!" Dafu said, proudly puffing his chest: "You can bake it in the oven later, it's super delicious!"
"Oh, and this dried fish!" Dafu started to share the next one. As expected of a foodie, he brought back mostly food. There was
even a baked sweet potato: "This is super sweet! Heat it up and eat it!"
After sharing the specialties he brought, Dafu felt the strong presence of his eyes not far away, secretly glanced at Xiu Yan, and silently moved closer to Jiang Yiqing, hoping to draw some courage so that he would not be so scared.
He didn't know that his behavior was tantamount to pouring oil on the fire, and Xiu Yan's face became even darker.
Dafu secretly complained: "It's been such a short time since we last met, Mr. Wen is so fierce, I feel like he wants to make me into a spicy bunny head."
At this point, Dafu shook unconsciously, looking really scared.
Jiang Yiqing heard this, turned his head to look at Xiuyan in confusion, and Xiuyan was like he had an automatic expression converter installed. As soon as he caught Jiang Yiqing's eye, he immediately switched to a gentle expression, and even had a hint of smile on his lips.
Jiang Yiqing: "???"
He turned his head and looked at Dafu: "It's okay, maybe he was born to look fierce?"
Dafu heard this and looked at Xiuyan carefully, the other's expression: ▼—▼
"Obviously very fierce!" Dafu shook and complained desperately.
Jiang Yiqing was puzzled and turned his head to look at Xiuyan again.
Xiu Yan: OO
Jiang Yiqing: “…I’m fine.” Although his eyes were wide open like bells, it looked a little strange, but he was not fierce.
Da Fu: “Really fierce!”
The two looked at each other, and Da Fu suddenly turned his head. Xiu Yan: ▼—▼
Jiang Yiqing turned his head, Xiu Yan: OO
The two turned their heads one after another, and finally, Xiu Yan’s automatic expression adjustment system made a mistake. When Jiang Yiqing turned his head, his expression became: ▼—▼
Jiang Yiqing: “…”
Xiu Yan’s expression froze, and he coughed lightly, then turned around and left silently.
Jiang Yiqing: Good guy, you still have two faces.
“Is he really fierce!” Da Fu saw that Jiang Yiqing finally noticed it, and immediately pulled him to ask.
Jiang Yiqing thought of Xiu Yan’s expression just now, and for some reason, he found it a little funny, and couldn’t help laughing out loud.
Dafu: "?"
He touched Jiang Yiqing's head worriedly: "Qingqing, are you out of your mind?"
Jiang Yiqing: "..."
Not far away, Jin Zhijian saw what happened just now and couldn't stop laughing. He complained: "Brother, how can you be more jealous than me?"
The Ghost King still didn't quite understand the meaning of some words in the world. He frowned and glanced at Jin Zhijian: "I don't like sour food."
Jin Zhijian: "..."
"Hey, I thought you were used to it. Every time Lele came over, didn't you like to stick to Master Jiang?" Jin Zhijian looked like he had let it go. It's not bad for his Lele to have a good friend.
Just thinking about it, Dafu made a "Huhu" sound and turned into a rabbit to play with Pangpang and Naiqiu.
Naiqiu now looks like a normal dog. It was originally used as a plush toy, smaller than Dafu, but now Naiqiu is about the same size as a normal puppy, and even bigger than Dafu. Dafu
was very happy because Naiqiu was a little Bichon Frise, with fur all over his body, and he could bury the whole rabbit inside, just like burying it in a marshmallow.
Looking at the little lop-eared rabbit curling up its hind legs and burrowing into Naiqiu's arms crazily, Jin Zhijian was silent for a moment: "I take back what I said just now, now I am jealous of even dogs!"
Xiu Yan turned his head and looked at Jin Zhijian like a fool, how could someone compete with a dog for food? Lord Ghost King didn't quite understand.
Originally, Dafu wanted to stay overnight tonight. This was his old tradition every time he came to visit Jiang Yiqing. Every time he stayed overnight, he would get together with Fatty Naiqiu and the others.
Jiang Yiqing also made a super big nest for them, which was soft for sleeping.
But in the end, Dafu still didn't stay overnight. Now, even if Xiuyan didn't show a fierce expression, the aura of the other party made him unconsciously afraid. As a small animal, he was very sensitive in this aspect. After all, he didn't have the courage to stay here.
Before leaving, the little rabbit reminded Jiang Yiqing: "I feel that he has become very scared of rabbits. I don't quite understand, but it's different from before."
Jiang Yichen looked at Xiuyan thoughtfully. If he just lost his memory, would this happen? Not only Dafu, but Pangpang and Naiqiu were also suddenly very afraid of each other before...
Jiang Yiqing took note of this strangeness in his heart and prepared to observe slowly. He also always felt that there were some changes in his boyfriend that he didn't know about.
The Ghost King had no idea that Jiang Yiqing had already planted the seeds of doubt in his heart.
He had been handling the company's affairs recently and had been able to do so with ease, but people just couldn't be idle, and the same was true for ghosts. Once they were idle, something would come knocking on their door.
Currently, Fan Wujiu was in charge of connecting the Ghost King with the ghost world. On this day, the other party appeared in Xiu Yan's study.
Xiu Yan had just finished his work at the company and was about to go find Jiang Yiqing when Fan Wujiu suddenly showed up. He was in a bad mood and asked, "What's the matter?"
Fan Wujiu was much calmer than Xie Bian. He came to find Xiu Yan, not to talk nonsense, and he told him the current situation in the ghost world in earnest: "Because the number of reincarnations in the human world is limited, it can be said that it is getting smaller and smaller, while the number of deaths has not decreased. , resulting in more and more ghosts piling up in the ghost world now. "
Fan Wujiu has obviously been worried about this matter, and sighed: "There are so many ghosts, and they have nothing to do, so friction is inevitable. Just today, there have been more than a dozen fights."
In a ghost fight, no one is so gentle. You can pull off my head and bite off your legs. The scene is extremely bloody, causing discomfort to the ghosts. Many timid ghosts are scared.
This matter cannot be ignored, but sometimes big things are easier to deal with than these trivial matters. The ghost catcher is very busy all day, and he can't spend time specifically to mediate these things, right?
This matter is not big, but it is not small either. After all, it has some impact on the overall appearance of the ghost world. If it is not handled in time, it is easy to breed some evil ghosts, which will cause a greater blow to their already stressful management system.
Xiu Yan now has some human thinking. Hearing this, he said directly: "They are just too idle. Find something to do."
"Ah? But what can ghosts do?" Fan Wujiu was a little dumbfounded.
"How many years has it been since the construction of the ghost world and the Naihe Bridge? There are also the Ghost Gate and the Wangxiang Terrace... These are all in a mess. Those who are looking for trouble should be sent there to contribute to the ghost world." Lord Ghost King was very simple and rough.
Fan Wujiu was a little stuck: "..."
Is this really okay? On second thought, why not? Anyway, those ghosts have endless energy.
As for disobedience? They probably dared not disobey.
"Also, the pressure in the reincarnation place is great now, have you ever thought about using modern thinking to deal with this matter?" Lord Ghost King looked like a stern boss at this moment, looking at his subordinates.
For the first time, Fan Wujiu felt that he was too stupid and couldn't answer for a while. Fortunately, the Ghost King didn't need his answer and said directly: "Now the ghost world also has communication tools and networks. You can find companies that make these and cooperate with them in the name of the official ghost world to make a... self-service reincarnation system..."
Fan Wujiu felt a little dizzy after listening to it. How should I put it? Suddenly, I felt that the work of coordinating with the Ghost King was more suitable for Xie Bian.
Is this still their serious and old-fashioned Ghost King? He has become... very fashionable.
Do you really want to come and take a look when you have
nothing to do? There were footsteps outside the door, and Xiu Yan immediately looked at Fan Wujiu. Fortunately, the latter was still sensitive and disappeared on the spot.
Just then, Jiang Yiqing pushed the door open and said, "You've been working for so long, it's time to take a break. Don't be too tired."
Xiu Yan frowned and nodded pretentiously, "Okay, I'll finish this."
Jiang Yiqing nodded, and suddenly felt something. He turned his head and looked somewhere with a suspicious look on his face, "How come your study room..."
