Chapter 40 Chapter 40 Actually They Are an Evil Couple

After today's recording is finished.

Pei Simo went to Wen Yunzhi's room first.

Wen Yunzhi poured a cup of tea for Pei Simo and placed it in his hand.

She sat on the sofa, looked at Pei Simo who had changed his clothes, and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Pei Simo replied: "It's nothing, I've recovered."

Wen Yunzhi saw this and didn't hesitate any longer. He got straight to the point and said, "Let's review what happened today. I saw the footage after I got on board. I was surprised that I could actually see things about you."

Pei Simo said in a deep voice: "This is exactly what surprised me."

"It seems that what you said is right. We do share a common destiny."

Wen Yunzhi completely believed Pei Simo's words.

She originally thought it was not that absolute.

But now it seems that as long as one party is in danger, the other party cannot be spared.

The only difference is that she is the heroine, has a halo, and cannot die.

But Pei Simo is not like that.

Once the plot gets out of control, Pei Simo might end up like him, dead.

"When there are pictures in the future, no matter who they are about, you must tell me first. It is always better for two people to come up with a solution than one person." Pei Simo said.

Wen Yunzhi took a sip of water, calmed down, and then said, "Well, what did you want to tell me?"

Pei Simo didn't say anything, but turned on his cell phone and did something.

Then, Wen Yunzhi's phone vibrated.

Wen Yunzhi took out her cell phone and saw that Pei Simo had sent her a personal business card.

She looked up and asked, "Who is this?"

Pei Simo replied: "Shan Ming's assistant, Yuanchu."

Wen Yunzhi looked at Pei Simo with some hesitation.

"How could Yuanchu be Shan Ming's assistant, and why did she come to see you?"

In the original novel, Yuanchu is an important character.

She was well educated and smart, and had a promising future ahead of her. However, she lost her job due to her boss's frame-up and was also banned in the circle. Big groups didn't want her, and she looked down on small companies.

Later, by chance, she met Gu Yan, helped him solve the company's problems, and was reused.

Yuanchu was a very smart man and was Gu Yan's general.

He even helped disrupt Pei Simo's plans and took away many of his projects and resources.

Even Gu Yan's final victory was due to Yuanchu's contribution.

So Wen Yunzhi didn’t understand why Yuanchu would look for Pei Simo?

Pei Simo saw that Wen Yunzhi didn't understand, so he explained to her:

"Yuanchu came to me that day and said that Shan Ming hired water soldiers to blackmail you. I took advantage of the situation and let her do it. That's how I found Shan Ming's water soldier studio. And... although I knew about the transactions between Shan Ming and Pei Xu in the club, I had no evidence. The evidence I gave to the media a few days ago was also given to me by Yuanchu."

He then added:

"As for why she came to me instead of Gu Yan, I don't have an exact explanation, but I think it might be our approach that changed the trajectory of the story."

Wen Yun felt that this was the only explanation.

Otherwise, no one would know why Yuanchu did not meet Gu Yan.

But Wen Yunzhi still had a doubt.

"Since Shan Ming wanted to hire navy soldiers to slander me, why didn't Yuan Chu come to me but to you instead?"

Pei Simo said: "Because she wants to repay the favor and get a stable job."

Wen Yun understood.

Yuanchu was too smart and knew how to maximize her interests.

But she miscalculated Pei Simo.

Pei Simo will not be threatened.

Pei Simo thought of something and looked a little unhappy, but it quickly disappeared.

He said in a deep voice: "Being too smart is not a good thing. I won't keep her around. But overall, Yuanchu is a grateful person. When I refused to give her a job, you gave her a decent job. She will stay by your side wholeheartedly. Her intelligence should not be wasted."

Wen Yunzhi looked at Pei Simo, sizing him up carefully, as if he was seeing him for the first time.

Pei Simo asked: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Wen Yunzhi said slowly: "You are also very smart, and even made me feel like I was plotting against a tiger."

Pei Simo guessed Wen Yunzhi's thoughts almost immediately, "Do you think I will target you?"

Wen Yunzhi suddenly felt that Pei Simo's question was ridiculous.

To Pei Simo, it doesn't matter who she is.

What’s important is that she is the heroine, the one who will hinder him.

Wen Yunzhi asked back, "Wouldn't you? You want to change your own ending, and I am the solution. Pei Simo in the book is cold-blooded and ruthless to everyone except the heroine. As long as he achieves his goal, he can use any means."

In fact, she really likes Pei Simo's personality.

So I have watched the plots about him over and over again, so naturally I remember them clearly.

After spending so much time with the awakened Pei Simo, she almost forgot what kind of person Pei Simo was.

But just now, Wen Yunzhi suddenly realized.

She didn't want to stand on the highest moral ground to punish anyone. She even felt that Pei Simo was neither a criminal nor a gambler, so there was nothing wrong with his behavior. However, as a teammate, she could not fully trust him.

Pei Simo sneered.

He held his chin with his hand, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and looked at Wen Yunzhi with his eyes curved, as if he was in a very good mood.

"Wen Yunzhi, how many times have you read my plot? You know me so well."

Wen Yunzhi remained silent and looked at Pei Simo quietly.

Soon, Pei Simo surrendered, "I did want to arrange Yuanchu to be by your side to help me find out your whereabouts, but I really didn't want to do anything. I just wanted to know your itinerary and make sure you were safe. But don't worry, I didn't let Yuanchu do this in the end. It's her own choice for Yuanchu to be with you now."

Wen Yunzhi had clearly guessed the result, but she still felt inexplicably angry. She could only hear the first few words. She slammed the table and said, "Pei Simo, do you really want to plot against me?"

Pei Simo handed the tea to Wen Yunzhi and patted her arm, "Calm down."

Wen Yunzhi shook off Pei Simo's hand.

Pei Simo looked at her and said in a deep voice, "I am not plotting against you, nor do I want to use Yuanchu to deal with you. I still say that we are on the same front. It depends on whether you believe me or not."

Wen Yunzhi found Pei Simo's words particularly interesting.

She just found out that she was being plotted against, so how could she trust him?

Wen Yunzhi said bluntly, "Your thinking is really unique. If you were me, would you believe this?"

Pei Sima was silent.

Now he makes others believe in himself, but what he does is indeed hard to convince others.

Pei Simo always felt that whatever he said now was useless.

What you say is never as useful as what you actually do.

He no longer asked Wen Yunzhi to believe him in such a monotonous way, but said in a different way: "You can not believe me, but please do not treat me as an enemy. I can guarantee that I will not hurt you no matter what."

Wen Yunzhi asked in a somewhat sinister tone, "Because of your personality?"

Pei Simo shook his head.

He raised his hand and pointed to his heart.

“It’s because of this place.”

Wen Yunzhi looked at Pei Simo, and his gaze moved to the place where his finger was pointing, and he was dazed for a moment.

But soon, she looked away.

Pei Simo also changed the subject, "Director He is filming in the ancient city, come with me to meet him tomorrow."

Wen Yunzhi thought, "Director He? He looks so familiar."

Pei Simo reminded: "Here's to you, the director of 'The Legend of Qing Le'."

Wen Yunzhi suddenly realized what was going on and uttered an "oh" with a long ending.

He Nian is quite talented, and his relationship with the original owner is like that of Boya and Ziqi, they appreciate each other's achievements.

"The Legend of Youth" made the original owner's acting skills recognized and won the Best Actress Award that year. It also made He Nian, a young director who started out making short dramas, become a leading figure in the director's world.

Wen Yunzhi asked the question he had been wondering all along, "He Nian has been shooting short dramas, why did you give him this project?"

She didn't understand when she read.

But at that time I didn’t think it was that important and soon forgot about it.

Now that I heard Pei Simo talk about this, I remembered it again.

Pei Simo was stunned for a moment before he said, "Don't you know? He Nian is my cousin."

Wen Yunzhi was a little surprised, "Your cousin?"

Pei Simo saw that Wen Yunzhi really didn't know, so he explained: "He Nian is my aunt's son, but it's not partiality for me to let He Nian direct this play. He competed for it on his own."

Wen Yunzhi believed what Pei Simo said.

Pei Simo was not a partial person.

What's more, although He Nian has been shooting short dramas, those short dramas have basically gone viral, and his camerawork has also been praised, which shows that he is quite powerful.

"Is that so...ha..." Wen Yunzhi yawned, put his hand on the corner of his mouth, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Pei Simo looked at Wen Yunzhi and smiled, then stood up. "If you're sleepy, go to sleep first. Thank you for what happened today. Also, I can prove my words with my actions. They are not false."

Wen Yunzhi accepted the thanks and replied, "You should think it over carefully. I am not a good person. Like you, I will also prioritize completing my own tasks."

Pei Simo raised the corner of his mouth, "I like your personality."

Wen Yunzhi sent Pei Simo to the door, but when he was about to say good night, Jiangnan's voice suddenly came from behind:

"You...you...you guys...I...I didn't bump into you on purpose."

Wen Yunzhi leaned against the door frame with his arms folded, looked at Jiangnan, and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"I was wondering why Mr. Pei suddenly appeared on a romance variety show..."

Jiangnan muttered to himself, and suddenly moved closer to Wen Yunzhi, "Were you two together before? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. As a host, I keep my mouth shut."

As she spoke, she made a gesture to seal her mouth.

Wen Yunzhi was somewhat impressed.

"You have a lot of imagination. Being a host is a waste of your talent. You should write novels."

Jiangnan asked, "Am I wrong?"

Wen Yunzhi stretched out a hand and waved it in front of her face. "That's totally wrong."

Pei Simo couldn't stay on this floor any longer, so he said to Wen Yunzhi and Jiangnan, "You guys continue chatting, I'm going to go down first."

This time, just like last time, the boys lived on the second floor.

After Pei Simo left, Wen Yunzhi also planned to go into the house and sleep.

But Jiangnan pulled Wen Yunzhi, took her arm as if they were on good terms, and led her to the tea room, "I'm hungry and want to have some midnight snack, come with me."

Wen Yunzhi said nothing and just followed Jiangnan.

Because she was hungry too.

Jiangnan was used to living alone, and unlike those who lived a life of luxury, he was very skilled at cooking noodles.

After cooking the noodles, Wen Yunzhi brought two bowls to the table.

Jiangnan put the fried egg in the instant noodle bowl into Wen Yunzhi's bowl, tilted his head and asked as if waiting for a compliment: "Yunzhi, how about you try my fried egg?"

Wen Yunzhi picked up the spoon and held the egg. As soon as she bit into the soft-boiled egg, the yolk flowed out along with the white. It was golden in color and looked extremely tempting.

She sincerely complimented, "It's delicious. Are you very particular about cooking?"

Jiangnan also took a sip and replied, "Not really, but it's better than theirs."

Wen Yunzhi watched Jiangnan lower his head to eat, but he put down his chopsticks.

"You came to me because you have something to say, right?"
