TV Station
The "Cottage in the Country" show is monitoring ratings changes in real time.
"Director, it's going up, it's going up, the ratings have already exceeded 2 after just 20 minutes of broadcasting."
The director laughed and said, "It turns out that the audience prefers to hear celebrity gossip."
This section is when the guests play truth or dare.
The ratings remained stable until Du Yuanzhe sang, when there was another big fluctuation, rising by 0.2%. When Du Yuanzhe proposed selling peaches and hiring villagers as drivers, the ratings rose to 2.5%, breaking the record of this season of "The Cottage".
When the horse racing segment between Du Yuanzhe and Jiang Chelin was shown, the ratings went over 3, completely breaking the record of “The Cottage” since its inception.
The director sighed: "Du Yuanzhe is really a lucky star. I didn't expect it to break three. I guessed that Jiang's appearance would increase the ratings, but I didn't expect the audience to like Du Yuanzhe so much. He has Xia's protection, so it seems that we have to build a good relationship with him."
The assistant said: "Director, we almost offended Du Yuanzhe before. After all, he comes from a distinguished family. Is he willing to reconcile with us?"
The director groaned and said, "Let's show him some kindness first, and test it out."
......
After Zhou Chenlang hung up the phone with Jiang Chelin, he looked at You Yingxue beside him and said, "Yingxue, you snatched two endorsements from Wei Lingling?"
You Yingxue was stunned for a moment, then pursed her lips and nodded.
Zhou Chenlang held her hand and said softly, "Do you have any difficulties?"
You Yingxue said: "Some time ago, Wang Linxuan suddenly found me and said that she could help me get more resources, but the premise was that I had to help her deal with Wei Lingling."
"I didn't agree at first. I thought Wang Linxuan had bad intentions. But when she saw that I didn't agree, she directly ruined the new drama I had planned. Everyone knows that she has to be favored by Mr. Chiang. Unless Mr. Chiang comes forward, no one in the company is willing to offend her."
"I had no choice but to agree to her provisionally. I wanted to fool her for a while, but when Wang Linxuan heard that I was going to be on a variety show with Wei Lingling, she asked me to target Wei Lingling in the show, so that she would be willing to believe me."
"I can only do what I am told. These two endorsements are the rewards given to me by Wang Xianxuan."
You Yingxue leaned into Zhou Chenlang's arms, her tone full of fear: "Chenlang, what does Wang Linxuan want to do? I'm very scared of her now."
Zhou Chenlang's eyes flickered slightly, as if he believed her words, and his tone was still gentle: "Wang Linxuan wants to be Mrs. Jiang, but Che Lin likes Wei Lingling. She regards Wei Lingling as a stepping stone to her promotion."
"Does President Jiang really like Wei Lingling?"
You Yingxue looked up in shock, then said with a look of sudden realization, "No wonder Wang Linxuan told me to mention Chiang Kai-shek in front of Wei Lingling. I thought it was just Wang Linxuan being too suspicious."
Zhou Chenlang said: "This is Che Lin's privacy. I didn't tell you before. They have broken up now, so it doesn't matter if I tell you."
"Break up?"
You Yingxue was surprised again: "President Jiang doesn't like Wei Lingling anymore?"
Zhou Chenlang shook his head: "You may not believe it, but it was Wei Lingling who broke up with us. Che Lin wanted to get back together but Wei Lingling ignored him."
You Yingxue was stunned and said, "Is this all true? What is Wei Lingling thinking?"
Zhou Chenlang sighed: "Who knows what's in that woman's head? Anyway, their relationship is very complicated now. Che Lin likes Wei Lingling very much. If you deal with Wei Lingling, it will definitely anger Che Lin. He may not pursue it this time for my sake, but there will be no way if it happens again."
You Yingxue said bitterly: "I don't want to target Wei Lingling. You know I just want to act well, but what about Wang Lianxuan?"
Zhou Chenlang thought for a moment and said, "I'll help you get a role in a play. You can go to the crew to film and hide from Wang Yanxuan. I'll also tell Che Lin about this so that he won't misunderstand you."
You Yingxue threw herself into Zhou Chenlang's arms and said happily: "Chenlang, you are so nice, I love you."
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't changed. He was still the Zhou Chenlang who obeyed her orders.
Zhou Chenlang stroked her hair gently, his eyes dim and unclear: "I love you, too."
......
Jiang's Old House
Wang Lianxuan was sitting on the dressing table, arranging the cosmetics on the table.
[Host, I have told you many times that you cannot act rashly. It is meaningless to snatch Wei Lingling's two endorsements.]
Wang Lianxuan snorted, "Don't try to be nice after getting an advantage. The luck you snatched is all real."
[This bit of luck is a drop in the bucket for the heroine. What I want is all of her luck. Your cooperation with You Yingxue is a good move. That woman has great ambitions. If she wants to climb up, she needs to work for you.]
Wang Lianxuan said, "If I were not in the entertainment industry, why would I let You Yingxue take advantage of me? Now that Wei Lingling has broken up with Jiang Chelin, should I find an opportunity to take advantage of her?"
[Host, don't worry. Now is not the right time. You should take this opportunity to snatch the most important play for the heroine. That is the foundation for her future success. You must not let her successfully star in that play.]
Wang Xianxuan nodded: "Then I'll listen to you."
At this moment, Jiang Chelin called.
Wang Lianxuan's face lit up: "Che Lin..."
"Who gave you the courage to snatch Lingling's endorsement?"
Wang Lianxuan’s face froze.
"Che Lin, I..."
"Cancel your art exhibition. If you have the guts, stay in the old house and don't come out. If you dare to come out, you will have to pay the price for what you did. You can also complain to Grandpa, but you'd better think it through. Grandpa can't protect you forever!"
After saying this, Jiang Chelin hung up the phone.
Wang Lianxuan's expression suddenly turned fierce: "Is he confining me?"
She no longer cared whether to hold the exhibition or not, but she found it hard to accept that Jiang Chelin had grounded her.
[I've said before that Jiang Chelin is not easy to mess with. You can't do anything about the next thing, otherwise Jiang Chelin may no longer care about Mr. Jiang.]
Wang Lianxuan frowned: "Then how will it affect the next drama that Huang Weilingling is taking on?"
[I will use up my luck to make this move, so that no one can find you. However, the luck I have taken from you before may not be enough, so I need to borrow your luck.]
Wang Lianxuan asked, "What effect will borrowing luck have on me?"
[I'm just borrowing some. It won't affect you. Just look at Wei Lingling and you'll know.]
Wang Lianxuan thought so too. She had snatched Wei Lingling's luck, but perhaps because it was too little, it did not affect her.
"Okay, use it. It would be best if Wei Lingling is ruined."
Wang Lianxuan gritted her teeth. She didn't believe that Jiang Chelin would like a woman with a bad reputation.
......
Flower Lake Apartment
Du Yuanzhe lay on the bed with his forehead in his hands. He couldn't believe that he was almost raped by Xia Ningmi just now. Who could have imagined that the cold and aloof Xia Ningmi could be even crazier than him when she was aroused.
If Xia Ningmi's relative hadn't come unexpectedly, the two of them might have gone to the last step just now due to their loss of control and madness, and the location would have been on the sofa in the living room.
[Host, please note that the heroine's first important time node is coming soon]
Du Yuanzhe sat up suddenly: "So you are still here, if you didn't say anything I would have thought you disappeared. Since you are so passive and lazy, won't the company deduct your performance?"
[Host, please pay attention, the heroine...]
Du Yuanzhe interrupted and said, "I've heard it. You're not a repeater, so there's no need to repeat yourself. I have something to ask you."
[Host, please speak]
"What can I do to destroy the luck-plundering system?"
[As the name suggests, the Luck Plundering System is powered by Luck. If you don't get Luck for more than half a year, it will destroy itself.]
[But the luck plundering system can not only plunder the heroine's luck, but also plunder the luck of the host. However, plundering the luck of the host requires the consent of the host.]
[If the person it is hosting is willing to consume his own luck to support it, then it will not be destroyed before its host's luck is exhausted.]
[On the contrary, if the person it is living in is unwilling to give him luck, and it fails to plunder the luck of the heroine for more than half a year, it will be destroyed.]
Du Yuanzhe asked: "Isn't this system capable of robbing other people's luck?"
【cannot】
"Why?"
[Limited by the rules of this world]
Du Yuanzhe laughed: "Your words are not very convincing. The rules of the world do not protect the heroine's luck, but protect the supporting characters and passers-by?"
[The heroine is the lucky child of this world. Her luck is a gift from this world, which will allow her to turn danger into safety at critical moments. Correspondingly, she needs to face those who covet her luck. This is also one of the rules of the world.]
Du Yuanzhe still felt something was wrong: "The Luck Plundering System should be considered an external enemy, right?"
[So it must reside in the people of this world to work.]
"It's a cover-up, I understand." The smile in Du Yuanzhe's eyes disappeared: "Just like you."
The system did not speak.
"One of you wants to protect the heroine, and the other wants to destroy her, so you should be considered enemies. You can detect the existence of the Luck Plundering System, but it can't detect your existence?"
[We were both unaware of each other’s existence, but I was able to sense it for some special reason]
Du Yuanzhe narrowed his eyes and said, "So you were lying to me when you said it had no intelligence?"
The system is playing dead!
Du Yuanzhe said angrily: "If you want me to protect the heroine, you should at least be honest, right?"
[There are some things that I cannot tell the host the truth unless the host guesses it himself. This is an agreement I made with someone.]
Du Yuanzhe's eyes were blazing with anger: "Which bastard made this agreement? Did I provoke him?"
[The host will know in the future]
The tone of the system's words was inexplicably strange.
Seeing that the question was not going to answer, Du Yuanzhe temporarily changed the subject and asked another question that concerned him: "What will happen when the luck is exhausted?"
[Everyone in this world has luck. Without luck, you will not be recognized by this world, and the origin of the world will be automatically wiped out.]
杜元哲心裏一寒，氣運竟然關系到人的性命，他還以為只是會運氣差點。
如果是這樣的話，那還是不對啊——
杜元哲皺眉：“我都成了杜元哲，按理說我身上有氣運，為什麽世界本源還會抹殺我？”
【......】
系統又沉默。
杜元哲怒了：“你又騙我？”
剛說完，杜元哲就感到一陣心絞痛，疼得他感覺自己要死過去。
整整持續了一分鐘，疼痛感才消失，杜元哲滿身被汗水打濕，他臉色陰沉：“會抹殺我的不是世界本源，而是你！”
什麽狗屁時空偷渡者，這都是系統騙他的話術。
系統一言不發。
杜元哲氣笑：“你就不怕我破罐子破摔，不去完成你的任務？”
【你心有牽挂】
杜元哲握緊拳頭：“你吃定我了是吧？”
下一刻，他仿佛聽到了系統的嘆息聲。
【氣運之子對此世界至關重要，一旦女主氣運被掠奪幹淨，後果不堪設想，那一幕你不會想看到的】
【我若不用宿主性命威脅，宿主恐怕不會把我當回事，那種後果我們已經體......我不會做損害宿主的事，希望宿主不要一意孤行，保護好女主的氣運】
杜元哲目光依舊冷漠，任誰也不可能對掌控自己生死的存在心無芥蒂。
【我并非無所不能的存在，掌控不了一個人的生死，宿主是唯一的例外】
杜元哲冷笑：“你的意思是我倒黴呗。”
【宿主之所以例外，是因為這個權利是你自己交給我的】
杜元哲愕然：“你說什麽！”
莫名的，他想到了自己過去做的那些真實得可怕的夢境。
系統沒有再說話，沉默許久，杜元哲輕聲道：“只要保護好女主的氣運就行，是吧？”
【對】
“我會做好的。”
杜元哲目光堅定。
雖然系統一直讓他保護女主氣運，但杜元哲之前并沒有太上心，更多的都是交給蔣澈霖處理。
但現在他知道，自己得全力以赴了。
他依舊沒有拯救世界的心，他只想保護身邊的人。
他想和七七一起白頭到老！
這個埋在他心底的願望從不曾變過。
......
次日一早，杜元哲起來給夏凝覓做早飯。
夏凝覓看到他眼底的青色，道：“等我經期結束，我們可以再繼續。”
她以為杜元哲是被她挑起火又沒給他滅火才失眠的。
杜元哲知道她誤會了也沒解釋，道：“說得好像我心急似的，昨晚也不知道是誰着急忙慌，連回卧室的時間都沒有。”
夏凝覓面色不變：“食色性也。”
杜元哲把早飯放在她面前，啧啧道：“聽到你說這話總覺得有種違和感。”
任誰看到夏凝覓，都不會覺得她會貪戀情。欲，甚至夏凝覓不談感情更符合衆人對她的判斷。
夏凝覓擡眸挑眉：“你很了解我嗎？”
杜元哲愛極了她一切盡在掌握之中的樣子，低頭吻了吻她：“正在了解中。”
夏凝覓嘴角勾了勾：“吃飯。”
杜元哲坐在她旁邊，關心道：“你身體有沒有覺得不舒服？要不今天別去上班了？”
夏凝覓道：“我很好。”
杜元哲笑道：“我剛和你住在一起的時候，曾經想過你是不是也有胃病什麽的，沒想到你身體比我還健康。”
他們住在一起這麽久，都沒見夏凝覓生過病。
“為什麽覺得我有胃病？”
“因為工作狂基本上都會有胃病。”
比如遇到衛菱菱之前的蔣澈霖。
夏凝覓淡淡糾正道：“有胃病的都是飲食不健康的人，和工作強度沒有直接關系。”
她雖然是工作狂，可飲食很健康，一日三餐從來不缺，吃的也都是大飯店送的菜，那和小作坊送的外賣可不是一回事。
杜元哲誇贊道：“七七做得很好，繼續保持。”
夏凝覓聽不慣他的語氣，皺眉道：“你在哄小孩子嗎？”
杜元哲無辜道：“我只是誇誇你。”
夏凝覓瞥他一眼沒說話，他總會時不時地搞怪一下。
吃完早飯，夏凝覓去上班，杜元哲才有機會拿出手機查看綜藝播出後網上的反應。
#蔣澈霖杜元哲#
杜元哲剛打開微博，就看到帶有他和蔣澈霖名字的詞條霸占了熱搜第一。
這完全出乎了杜元哲的意料。
等他點開熱搜，整個人臉都黑了。
營銷號竟然帶頭磕他和蔣澈霖的cp，腦子秀逗了吧，不怕被蔣澈霖封殺嗎？
“哈哈哈哈我就知道能找到同道中人，從看到杜元哲和蔣總穿着一黑一白的騎馬裝騎馬并肩而行的時候，我的腐女魂就覺醒了，媽媽呀，這兩人絕配”
“帥哥配帥哥才是正道，一個俊朗一個冷傲，天作之合啊”
“嗚嗚嗚嗚求求各位大大可憐可憐孩子，多多産糧吧，這裏有現成的素材”
杜元哲看完評論臉更黑了。
一個個看熱鬧不嫌事大的家夥，這麽多嘉賓不磕，非磕他和蔣澈霖的cp，眼瞎嗎？
本着眼不見為淨的原則，杜元哲退出這個熱熱搜，就看到#鄭霄腎虛#的詞條排在熱搜第二名。
杜元哲滿意地笑了，他就知道鄭霄的那些對家不會放過他，經過這一次，鄭霄腎虛的名頭是摘不掉了。
下面評論裏有不少人在猜測鄭霄腎虛的原因，因為節目中提到了他的前女友，不少人又想起來之前的嫂子事件，一時間評論裏除了對鄭霄的嘲諷，就是對他沒擔當的指責。
不過這畢竟不是關于鄭霄品性的實錘，這種熱搜只能讓鄭霄被全網嘲，對他名氣影響不是很大。
當然，對于鄭霄這種小心眼的人來說，這次熱搜能讓他難受很久。
杜元哲繼續往下看熱搜，頓時眼睛一凝。
#衛菱菱杜元哲對話別有深意#
他點進去一看，赫然是他和衛菱菱互相調侃的片段，營銷號對這段對話逐句分析，覺得他們兩個各自談戀愛的可能性很大。
“我看到這段的時候也有這種感覺，他們是朋友，知道對方談戀愛不是沒可能，而且我還覺得他們四個人互相認識”
“唉，我本來有些磕杜元哲和衛菱菱的，就是因為這段對話打破了我的幻想，這兩人一看就各自有對象”
“衛菱菱我不敢說，杜元哲就是談戀愛了，現在全網都知道，不相信的可以看熱搜第一”
杜元哲深吸一口氣，恨不得消滅這些磕他和蔣澈霖的異端，這些人怎麽還到處亂跑呢。
不過這些營銷號不愧是靠博熱度掙錢，這眼力勁兒還真不能小看，竟然猜出來了他和衛菱菱都有伴侶這件事。
得虧他和衛菱菱名氣都不大，再加上沒有人在背後推動，這個詞條只上了熱搜排行榜的尾巴，待了很短時間就又掉了下去，并未引起多少人注意。
今後說話還是得注意一些。
看完熱搜後，杜元哲想了想，給蔣澈霖打過電話去，詢問尤映雪搶衛菱菱代言的處理結果。
蔣澈霖道：“尤映雪說她是被汪憐萱威脅，不是有意針對菱菱，沉朗親口為她擔保，我暫且不追究她。”
“汪憐萱被我警告後，短時間應該不敢離開老宅。”
杜元哲道：“菱菱那邊你就沒有補償？”
聽到這話，蔣澈霖語氣有些郁悶：“她不要。”
杜元哲皺眉，也不知道那兩個代言損失的氣運多不多。
“你看到熱搜沒？”
蔣澈霖疑惑：“什麽？”
杜元哲冷哼道：“你自己去看，趕緊把熱搜撤下去，別連累我的名聲。”
蔣氏集團
蔣澈霖挂了電話，打開微博熱搜，一眼就看到了那條無比顯眼的熱搜。
他黑着臉把助理叫進來：“熱搜的事怎麽沒告訴我？”
助理低聲道：“您之前說任何事都不要打擾您。”
蔣澈霖用助理的手機給衛菱菱打通電話，想要重新給她介紹兩個更好的代言，但衛菱菱并不領情，還把助理的電話也拉黑了。
他心情煩躁，囑咐所有人別來打擾他。
蔣澈霖看到網上那些評論，氣得殺人的心都有了：“立刻把熱搜撤了，以後這種詞條不能出現在熱搜榜。”
“是，總裁。”
花湖公寓
杜元哲一看熱搜沒了，心情好了很多，蔣澈霖錢多，撤熱搜的事就該讓他做。
“元哲，有代言來找你。”
接通電話後，劉旭立刻說道。
杜元哲：“這代言很好？”
要不然劉旭會直接幫他拒掉，不會打電話問他的意見。
劉旭道：“是一個準一線的手表代言，就算你憑借《雲瀾傳》名氣大漲，能接到的代言估計也就是這個水平。”
杜元哲問道：“也就是正常來說，我現在還不應該接到這種代言。”
劉旭點頭：“我仔細打聽過，這個代言是《鄉下小屋》的導演給你牽的線。”
杜元哲挑眉：“他這是在主動示好？”
劉旭道：“昨晚《鄉下小屋》收視率破三，你的價值已經體現出來，他應該是想和你化解之前的矛盾。”
看完這期《鄉下小屋》，明眼人都能看出來大多數高光都在杜元哲身上。
Of course, the most important thing is Xia Ningmi's attitude.
Du Yuanzhe asked, "Brother Liu, what do you think I should do?"
Liu Xu said: "This is how the entertainment industry works. It is common to flatter the powerful and bully the weak. We are not making friends with them, we are just exchanging interests."
Du Yuanzhe understood what Liu Xu meant and said, "Then agree to it."
Being able to give a quasi-first-tier endorsement, this apology is very sincere.
Du Yuanzhe has been in the entertainment industry for a long time. He knows very well that there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies. The only difference is the amount of benefits.
He and the "Butterfield 8" production team were just about to become enemies, but it didn't happen in the end. The production team didn't have a negative impact on him. The director gave him an endorsement, and he walked down the stairs, and the matter was over.
After getting Du Yuanzhe's consent, Liu Xu hung up the phone and went to deal with the endorsement matter.
Du Yuanzhe's eyes were deep.
His career has just started, but he has already gained a bad reputation for being petty. If there is a chance to return the favor in the future, he will not hesitate. At worst, he will just give a big gift and take the initiative to reconcile.
The author has something to say:
