Chapter 14: Crazy Day 14: The Innocent Daughter is Found
In the original book "The Priceless Little Wife: 99 Escapes", Jiang Qingya and Nangong Lie grew up together as childhood sweethearts and were considered each other's first love.
Unlike most old romance novels, where the author portrays the female supporting characters as vicious, stupid, and straightforward, as soon as she appears, readers can guess who she is and what she is going to do.
Jiang Qingya, as described by the author of this book, is as her name suggests, calm and considerate, but she is a huge stumbling block in the love journey of Nangong Lie and Xu Xiaonian. The three of them are entangled together until the end, otherwise the author would not have been able to write millions of words.
But it was also because of Jiang Qingya's existence, a white lotus body and a black lotus heart, that "The Priceless Little Wife: 99 Escapes" became a huge hit, making the author earn a lot of money.
When a character of this weight appears, it's easy to tell that she's going to cause trouble.
Bai Yueguang returns to China, determined to take back everything that belongs to her.
Nangong Lie didn't let Tan Mo follow him, which made her feel less worried.
After breakfast, and having a good time complaining about Nangong Lie, Tan Mo slowly walked out of the villa, planning to take the subway back to the company.
Halfway through the walk, she suddenly seemed to remember something and slapped her forehead in regret: "I actually forgot Hu Jiayu was coming to the company today."
The time seemed to be half past ten in the morning, but it was almost ten now.
Tan Mo didn't care about saving money and quickly took a taxi.
Nangong Lie hasn't been making much money these days, so she has to seize the opportunity to get close to Hu Jiayu.
Hu Jiayu was a celebrity, and Tan Mo had no access to him normally. However, according to the contract, he had to come to the studio today to film the contract. The location was in a studio near the company.
Despite her best efforts, Tan Mo was still more than ten minutes late.
She originally thought that she would not be able to hear any gossip this time and would not make any money. After all, no one was stupid enough to cackle crickets in front of her.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened the door, I heard someone shout, "It's already over ten minutes. Didn't you say you'd be there in ten minutes? Ten more, ten more, how many minutes is that?"
Wow!
Just by hearing the harsh mocking voice, Tan Mo felt that she had made a huge profit today.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" She trotted to Lin Yu.
Today's advertising shoot is a project that is fully managed by the public relations department led by Lin Yu. The director, cameraman, makeup artist, lighting and other staff are from an external cooperative company.
Lin Yu said with some embarrassment: "Hu Jiayu is late. I called before, and the assistant said he would be here soon, in about ten minutes, but he hasn't come yet."
"I don't know what he is doing. So many people are waiting for him. If he can't finish the filming within the specified time, the company will have to pay more." Tan Mo heard the voice and looked over, recognizing that the person speaking was a girl from the Finance Department.
She didn't want to save money for Nangong Lie, but due to her status, she still let out a cry of condemnation.
"What else could he be doing? He must have overslept." Tan Mo was very impressed by the colleague who was speaking. His name was Jin Yuan.
In the last fan debate, as a fan of Ding Huai, she used her powerful logic and eloquence to contribute the most classic golden sentence "It does not hinder his primary school education", which dealt the most fatal blow to Hu Jiayu's fans.
Jin Yuan pressed on, "He's been acting like a big shot for a while now. Many of his staff have been scheming online, even using fake accounts to specifically target Dao Xin. I think we've got something to wait for today."
There were also many fans of Hu Jiayu who spoke up for their idol: "Xiao Hu was just too tired. He was still catching a flight last night and was photographed arriving at the hotel in the early hours of the morning."
"If you don't believe me, I'll find a video for you." After saying that, he lowered his head and browsed his social media platform.
Jin Yuan crossed his arms and said calmly and disdainfully, "So what if he can't find it? It won't stop him from being a big shot."
The horrible memories of "it does not affect his primary school education" flooded the minds of many fans present, and Tan Mo laughed without any conscience.
Watching the balance on the screen projected by the system climb higher and higher, Tan Mo had evil thoughts in her mind and said unkindly, "Jin Yuan, you came here today to mess things up for your idol, didn't you?"
As soon as the words added fuel to the fire were spoken, Hu Jiayu's fans glared at Tan Mo, but because she was the president's assistant, they only rolled their eyes.
Tan Mo, who was attacked by the white eyes, said: ...The marketing accounts in the entertainment industry are really unethical, but I am still very excited.
Hu Jiayu's fans directed their fire at Jin Yuan: "So what? No matter how much you say, it's just jealousy. Our little Hu is destined to be rich. So what if you won the debate? In the end, it was Nangong Lie who chose Hu Jiayu."
"Just be jealous. The more jealous you are, the more miserable you will be."
Jin Yuan folded his arms and watched the show, "That can only mean that Nangong Lie is blind. I don't care. Anyway, it's Hu Jiayu who is late now, and it's Nangong Lie's money that is wasted."
Oh my God, Tan Mo’s eyes were filled with tears.
I can unexpectedly meet such a soulmate who has such a deep understanding of Nangong Lie, and is also a smart person who curses people.
Tan Mo wanted to go up and grab her hand to recognize her as her relative.
Seeing that a small group of people were about to quarrel again, Lin Yu interrupted them, "Stop it, the most important thing now is to bring Hu Jiayu to the scene. Is this the time to quarrel?"
"Why don't you call and urge them, and find two more people to go to the hotel where Hu Jiayu is staying to check."
"Oh." The two president's assistants present had the most power. After being scolded, the others lowered their heads like quails and went back to work.
Seeing the gloating Tan Mo again, Lin Yu glared at her: "Are you here to cause trouble?"
Tan Mo begged for mercy: "I'm just here to slack off."
This was so self-righteous that Lin Yu was speechless. She turned around to communicate with the film crew and didn't bother to pay attention to her.
I really can't believe it, it turns out that there are times when Lin Yu is not lazy or lying down. It seems that Nangong Lie is so crazy that Lin Yu is scared and has lost her high fighting spirit, Tan Mo thought to herself.
This kind of occasion really requires someone to work seriously and coordinate and cooperate. Otherwise, if someone like her is so distracted, we will definitely not be able to finish the filming today.
Although Tan Mo wanted to continue filming without finishing the movie and continue wasting Nangong Lie's money.
After finally getting a day off, Tan Mo decided to slack off and not work. When others were urging Hu Jiayu to work, she would find a few relatively free fans of the two groups and fight with them to make money.
Especially Jin Yuan, Tan Mo would take her wherever she went.
Jin Yuan is like a lighter. Wherever it goes, there will be a raging fire.
Tan Mo's balance also soared.
After almost two hours and the efforts of many people, Hu Jiayu finally arrived.
Rather than seeing this person first, what first caught Tan Mo's attention were the groups of security personnel surrounding the center of the circle and the anxious voices of "I'm sorry, teachers, I'm really sorry, I was delayed on the road and kept you waiting for a long time."
"It's Hu Jiayu's assistant, Huang Meimei." Jin Yuan bumped Tan Mo's arm and asked her to look over there.
Tan Mo had long wanted to meet the owner of that voice, but amid the clamorous crowd, she could only hear the voice, not see the person. Following Jin Yuan's directions, she saw a rather unremarkable girl in a shirt, white T-shirt, jeans, and several bags tucked away on her back. She might be tall, but she was bent over by the weight of her weight.
The crowd was a little agitated again. The security guards who had originally formed a circle heard some instructions and spread out like peeling an onion. The most important people could be seen at a glance.
Ah! It really is an onion heart, irritating to the eyes.
Although Huang Meimei apologized repeatedly and said that the reason for being late was traffic jam, she saw Hu Jiayu's messy hair, dark circles under his eyes, and even the mask could not hide his sleepy fatigue.
Even a fool would know that it was probably because he stayed up late last night and got up late.
Hu Jiayu looked dirty and smelly. Tan Mo was so shocked by his ugliness that she quickly covered her eyes.
But what surrounded him were more the exclamations of fans.
"Brother is so handsome, come on!"
"Godlike beauty, it is indeed a beauty bestowed by God."
“Even if I saw it with my own eyes, I still wouldn’t believe it.”
"Hubby, you need to have a good rest and eat more. I feel bad for you being so thin."
Only Tan Mo and Jin Yuan frowned so hard that they could kill a fly. When their eyes met, they showed each other a tacit understanding of "red bean paste" in their eyes.
The employees' fans suddenly crowded towards Hu Jiayu, and the center of the circle became smaller and smaller.
Huang Meimei held up her arms and stood in front, trying her best to maintain safety around the artist, but she was still squeezed by the fans and could not stand.
Hu Jiayu frowned and said, "You stepped on my foot."
When the fans heard this, it was like thunder exploding out of nowhere.
"What's going on? An assistant actually stepped on his own boss. Is that even justifiable?"
"It's so clumsy and heavy. If you step on it, it will hurt like hell. Woo woo, brother."
"These are baby Jiayu's favorite sneakers. How sad he must be."
"Yeah, brother has a really good temper, but he just got angry. If it were me, I would have yelled at him a long time ago. You useless assistant, if you don't want to do this job, just quit. You can't even stop me."
Huang Meimei was so ashamed and embarrassed by the scolding that she lowered her head deeply.
Tan Mo was speechless: "If you fans hadn't blocked the way, would he have stepped on Hu Jiayu? He actually cursed so harshly."
Jin Yuan is used to it: "It's normal for fans to do this."
Lin Yu came out to maintain order. "Alright, quickly take the artists to the dressing room and rehearse the rundown. Except for the film crew, everyone else should get out."
As a non-filming crew member, Jin Yuan didn't want to be kicked out, so he clung to Tan Mo's thigh tightly.
"I didn't realize Assistant Lin was so capable of handling things on her own. It seems anything produced by the President's Office is high-quality." Jin Yuan saw someone rushing over to chase them away and urged, "Come on, let's go somewhere else. Let me see what the President's Office assistant is capable of."
The position of assistant to the president is an extension of the president's power. In the past, only colleagues who had reached management level like Weng Meide dared to be so close to Tan Mo. Jin Yuan, a small employee, was a bit too bold.
"Don't flatter me, I can only lie down and eat melons."
"What a coincidence, I am also a melon lover." Jin Yuan smiled with curved eyebrows.
Tan Mo walked towards the backstage as if she was walking through the streets and alleys, going deeper and deeper.
Jin Yuan followed behind him, looking left and right, "What are you going to do?"
What else can you come for?
"Come for an autograph."
Jin Yuan immediately showed an expression of disbelief and disgust, as if to say, "No way, you are also a fan of Hu Jiayu."
Tan Mo: "That's not the case. Listen to me. He's a very good friend of mine..."
"Okay, don't explain. I know you like him."
Tan Mo: ...I feel tainted.
But she really just wanted an autograph for Aunt Fengjuan.
Just as she was about to explain, Tan Mo suddenly felt dizzy. The next second, she opened her eyes and saw a dazzling array of clothes in front of her. The environment was very unfamiliar.
She looked down and saw that not only was her clothing not what she was wearing today, but her hands and feet were not her own either. The slightest movement made her whole body ache and swell uncomfortably.
"What's going on? Have I traveled through time again?" Tan Mo was a little panicked.
"No," the system climbed up and explained, "Because the book 'Exclusively for Old Love: A Superstar's First Love with Miami Heat' was integrated, I detected the mission in the book and automatically transferred you here."
"Just do the mission, why did you transfer me to someone else?"
"Hu Jiayu is a top star after all. Apart from borrowing the people around him, is there any other way you can get close to him in a short period of time?" The system was angry because of the host's questioning.
"That's true." Tan Mo changed the subject guiltily, "Okay, what's the mission?"
"Speaking of which, this mission is related to Huang Meimei. It's to ask you to vent Huang Meimei's anger and beat up Hu Jiayu."
"So simple? By the way, what exactly is the basis for issuing this system task?"
The system explained to her: "Readers' resentment. When readers first read 'The Superstar's Fiery First Love,' they felt Huang Meimei was miserable and pitiful. An ordinary entertainment industry worker, not only was she caught between her agent and Hu Jiayu, like a punching bag, but she was also subjected to verbal abuse from Hu's fans. Reading it, readers almost wished they could jump into the book and beat up Hu Jiayu."
I see.
Tan Mo suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "So it was the readers who told me to say things like 'This old slave hasn't seen the young master smile like this in a long time' and 'Woman, you have to put out the fire you started' to Nangong Lie, which were so shameless?"
System: "...Try it yourself."
Tan Mo said that this is difficult to appreciate.
While both the person and the system were silent, Hu Jiayu's impatient voice came over: "Huang Meimei, are you growing mushrooms there? It took you so long to get the shirt."
Just hearing this sound, it's hard not to fight.
Tan Mo casually pulled off a shirt and asked the question that concerned her most, "How much will it cost to complete this task?"
"One million."
Tan Mo was full of strength. She pulled open the curtain handsomely and headed towards the one million.
*
Tan Mo thought beating up Hu Jiayu was a simple matter. After all, people like Hu Jiayu just deserved a beating, and she had no problem with that.
Beat him up sooner and get the money sooner.
But she didn't expect that when she threw the shirt at Hu Jiayu's face and Tan Mo picked up the mineral water bottle on the dressing table and was about to hit him on the head, she suddenly became discouraged.
The fear and terror inexplicably spread in my heart.
Tan Mo gave orders to her brain again and again, but the seemingly fierce momentum weakened as soon as it went down, causing her raised right hand to freeze in mid-air.
"What's going on?" Tan Mo asked the system with a frown.
System: "This is Huang Meimei's muscle memory. She doesn't dare to resist. She's timid and has been accustomed to Hu Jiayu's PUA."
The result was that Hu Jiayu lifted the shirt off his face and saw Tan Mo raising and lowering the mineral water bottle, but he didn't take it seriously.
Instead, he asked jokingly, "What's wrong? Are you having a seizure?"
Tan Mo was about to swear back, but Huang Meimei's muscle memory got the better of her, and she shook her head cowardly, "No, no."
"You threw clothes on me without any clothes. I think your salary for this month will be deducted by 50."
"I……"
"Hmm? Any opinions?"
Tan Mo smiled bitterly and said, "I wanted to say that you buttoned it well, buttoned it brilliantly, buttoned it terrifically."
Hu Jiayu stood up and walked towards the dressing room, sighing, "Meimei, I didn't mean to deduct this money from you. 50 yuan is nothing to me. I wouldn't even look at it if it fell on the ground. I deducted 50 yuan from you because I want you to grow and learn from your mistakes."
"You're just a junior college graduate with no skills, yet I'm the only one willing to make you my assistant. The monthly salary of 5,000 yuan is more than what a recent college graduate earns. Aren't you satisfied?"
Tan Mo pointed at Hu Jiayu's feet and said, "50 yuan!"
"Where! Where! Where is the 50 yuan? Don't pick it up, let me pick it up!"
Seeing Hu Jiayu hunched over and spinning around on the ground excitedly, Tan Mo said sarcastically, "50 yuan is nothing to me. I wouldn't even look at it if it fell on the ground."
I can only say that whoever believes it is an idiot.
In the end, Tan Mo, who failed to be PUA successfully, was asked by the angry Hu Jiayu to go to the hotel to get headphones. He said that without headphones to listen to music, he could not get into the role during the filming.
The shooting location is about 30 minutes’ drive from the hotel where Hu Jiayu is staying. It is not close and it is very tiring to go back and forth.
Tan Mo wanted to ask why she couldn't ask the hotel front desk to send him to the room immediately, but considering Hu Jiayu was a celebrity, it was not appropriate to let the hotel staff enter the room at will. Tan Mo had no choice but to take a taxi to the hotel.
I arrived at the hotel room and searched for about ten minutes.
Hu Jiayu called her and said, "Come back soon. I found the earphones in my bag."
Tan Mo: ...I felt the fear of being dominated by Nangong Lie again when I first crossed over.
On the way back, she was bombarded with phone calls from Hu Jiayu again, asking her to buy some fruit or coffee and cake.
"Buy more. This is for the crew."
"It has to be this brand, otherwise I won't eat it."
I just hung up the phone, and it rang again a few seconds later.
Tan Mo picked up the phone irritably: "I know, I know. I must have this brand of coffee, cake, and fruit. Can you please stop calling me so often? I'm so busy!"
"What? What coffee cake?"
As soon as she heard the female voice in the receiver, Tan Mo knew she had called the wrong person. She glanced at the screen and saw that the caller was Sister Yang.
"Meimei, didn't I tell you to keep an eye on Jiayu when we're out? Don't give him fattening foods like cake and fruit!" Manager Yang began to panic. "He's already greasy. If he gets fatter, will this top idol turn into a greasy idol?"
"What should I do if my opponent publishes a negative article?"
Tan Mo laughed at being scolded, and suddenly burst into laughter.
The agent knows exactly what kind of person Hu Jiayu is emotionally.
"Also, make sure he's careful during today's commercial shoot. Don't be too loud or too greasy! If he makes any mistakes, I'll dock your salary!"
Tan Mo: ...I can’t laugh anymore.
The agent and Hu Jiayu's PUA techniques are in the same vein.
No wonder Huang Meimei was squeezed by the sandwich and had no power to resist.
Tan Mo and the system returned to the filming base cursing, carrying large bags full of things in their hands.
Another part was in the car. Tan Mo was about to ask other staff for help, but when she turned around, she saw Hu Jiayu completely ignoring the cooperation of his female partner and trying to be cool in front of the camera: wink, push up his cheeks, and suck his teeth.
Every body movement and every strand of hair says 'I'm so handsome', 'Women, you must be attracted to me, why don't you scream'!
Tan Mo: ...Who can lend me a pair of eyes that I have never seen before?
More importantly, Tan Mo had to endure the low and shrill screams from some of Hu Jiayu's fans who had not been driven away.
Tan Mo complained to the system: After completing this task, not only will my eyes be blind, but my ears will also be deaf.
System: But you will get 1 million.
Tan Mo, who had no resistance to the temptation of money, could only walk silently towards Hu Jiayu who was resting.
"Teacher Hu, your performance just now was too exaggerated. Excessive expression can easily make you look greasy, you know?" the director said earnestly, "We're shooting a food commercial, not an idol drama. Your performance is greasy even than the food. Are you trying to drive customers away or attract them?"
"You actually called me greasy? What do you know? If I were greasy, there would have been tons of fans voting for my debut." Hu Jiayu felt his performance was humiliated and angrily retorted, "Don't insult my art!"
Someone came over and looked at him intently, then interrupted him, "Director."
"Assistant Lin." The director turned around. "What's going on?"
Lin Yu had a faint smile on his face, but he said seriously: "Those shots just now need to be retaken, so they can't be used."
Tan Mo was afraid that Hu Jiayu would offend Lin Yu, so she quickly explained to Hu Jiayu: "This is the assistant of the sponsor, a big shot, don't talk nonsense."
Perhaps this remark had an effect, as Hu Jiayu curled his lips and said unconvincedly, "First of all, I don't think my performance is greasy. It's you who are old-fashioned and don't know how to keep up with the times."
"Secondly, if you feel it's greasy, then I want to say that my female partner just now really affected my performance, which led to the 'greasy' feeling."
"Finally, if I had to do it again, I would have a different female partner."
The director was anxious: "It's already late, only the main creative staff knows what the female partner is going to do. Where can I find a female partner for you who is familiar with the process?"
Tan Mo was also speechless for the director and tried to beat Hu Jiayu with her soft hands.
Hu Jiayu's fingertips moved from the director to Lin Yu, and he said in a resounding voice, "She."
"Isn't she the main creative staff? I think it's just right."
Tan Mo suddenly felt nauseous, as if the beautiful, rich girl she had watched grow up was being targeted by a yellow-haired boy. She was about to yell at Hu Jiayu to stop messing around when she heard Lin Yu's sharp voice say, "Okay, if it can speed things up, I'll do it."
Tan Mo's heart was so righteous that it felt like it was being trampled into mud.
She really wanted to stop Lin Yu and scold her to wake up and stop getting involved with a pile of lard just to save money for Nangong Lie!
However, Tan Mo was disguised as Huang Meimei, so everyone treated her as a nobody and no one listened to her objections.
Tan Mo felt very aggrieved.
Hu Jiayu sat back in his seat and took the half-opened cake box, but it was immediately snatched away by Tan Mo.
"You..." Glancing at Tan Mo's angry expression, Hu Jiayu turned the words of rebuke around in his mouth and softened his tone, "What are you doing?"
"Eat, eat, eat! You're still eating something so greasy!"
"All you do is eat all day. Why don't you do some liposuction to get rid of the oil?"
Tan Mo was so angry that she ate the cake in two or three bites in front of Hu Jiayu.
The fierce and furious aura made Hu Jiayu shut up quietly.
It was uncomfortable to look at the lump of lard, and it was even more uncomfortable for Tan Mo to look at the cabbage stained with lard.
While continuing to shoot the commercial, she simply found a corner and silently drew circles and cursed Hu Jiayu.
"I never thought that a forty-year-old aunt like me would be so fascinated by baby Jiayu. He is so handsome."
"Such a good person is paired with such a rubbish studio. I feel sorry for him. At the beginning of the filming, I saw Jiayu was dying of thirst, and his damn assistant was nowhere to be seen. I don't know where he was slacking off."
"My husband has to work under such scorching sun, getting paid for a crappy studio, and supporting a bunch of people all by himself. Just thinking about it is tough."
"Without my husband, there would be no studio. I have no gratitude at all!"
Tan Mo, who accidentally heard these words:...No way, they are not talking about me, right?
At this time, someone else interrupted, "You like Hu Jiayu so much, have you heard the gossip? He seems to have a girlfriend."
This voice sounds familiar.
Tan Mo hid behind the props and secretly poked her head over. It was Jin Yuan.
Wow, finally a passerby with some brains came.
"The Bagua system is activated and the timing begins." The system unfolded the screen as Tan Mo had instructed before.
Tan Mo took a glance and couldn't help feeling happy.
Wow, I can make money by listening to gossip again.
Jin Yuan's words stirred up a thousand waves.
"You already said it was just gossip. Don't talk about things without solid evidence. You're just spreading rumors."
"That's right, absolutely impossible. When he was competing for the center position during his debut, he said that his fans were his only ones and he would never backstab a fan and date them!"
"Jia Yu is a clean person, and is well-known in the entertainment industry for being untainted by the mud. How dare you slander our brother like this? Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"
"I'd rather believe you say my husband is impotent than believe Hu Jiayu has a girlfriend."
Who would have thought that Jin Yuan would change the subject and say, "Then your husband is indeed impotent."
Jin Yuan spoke like a crosstalk, and Tan Mo laughed out loud.
Almost twenty minutes had passed, and Jin Yuan was still able to stand out among Hu Jiayu's fans with her clever talk.
Lin Yu appeared from nowhere, frowning slightly and scolding in a low voice: "What are you arguing about? It's affecting the filming!"
Jin Yuan was a little embarrassed and wanted to escape, but one of the fans pointed at her nose and complained: "Assistant Lin, look, she spread rumors that Hu Jiayu is in a relationship and has a girlfriend."
"Don't be unreasonable." Lin Yu warned, "That's not true. He's very loyal to his fans."
"Exactly. Actually, we don't believe it at all. By the way, Assistant Lin, what do you think of working with Hu Jiayu on this commercial? Doesn't he smell nice? His skin is very fair, and his fingers are very slender, right?"
Lin Yu straightened his voice and said, "I was so focused on my work just now that I didn't notice."
"Then come closer and smell it later, and then tell us what perfume he's wearing. I really want to wear the same perfume as the person I like."
Tan Mo's eyes nearly rolled to the sky: Are you kidding me, these fans? Lin Yu and the greasy guy's work could be considered a work-related injury, or even more seriously, sexual harassment. How could they think Lin Yu was enjoying it so much that she was asked to smell the greasy guy's perfume?
Tan Mo wanted to step forward to stop it, but considering that she is Huang Meimei now, it is better not to act rashly.
"Do you want to continue listening to gossip here, or try to capture Hu Jiayu and win the one million?" the system asked anxiously. "I can't keep you in Huang Meimei's body any longer."
ah!
Tan Mo was so scared that she turned around and left.
I just listened for a while and found out that I only made more than 300,000 yuan, so one million is more important.
But how to do the task?
Huang Meimei is used to being PUAed and has a natural fear of Hu Jiayu. It will take more than a day or two to change this mentality.
But time is running out.
Tan Mo decided to put on the sack and get started.
Hu Jiayu, who had his back to Tan Mo, opened the door of the dressing room and heard the sound. He slowly turned around and found that he was the only one in the room.
As soon as she saw him, Tan Mo's legs went weak involuntarily.
While eating fruit, Hu Jiayu angrily questioned, "You're just an assistant, but you don't have the tact to serve me properly, and you still want me to look for you everywhere. Is that reasonable?"
"Deduct another fifty from your salary."
The sound was infinitely stretched and slowed down when it reached Tan Mo's ears. Because of her body's muscle memory, her attention was completely focused on Hu Jiayu's mouth.
He was eating fruit, and as he spoke, juice accidentally splashed out of his mouth and dripped onto his clean white shirt.
Tan Mo trembled physiologically, her back felt hairy, and anger rose in her heart. She picked up the water bottle on the table and smashed it on Hu Jiayu.
"I'm so annoyed! Fruit stains on white shirts are so hard to wash out, you know!"
"Can't you be more careful with such a white shirt?"
"You're asked to eat fruit and still talk, but I don't want you to wash it, right?"
"I let you eat, I let you eat!"
Hu Jiayu held his head and wailed, "It hurts!"
*
When Tan Mo opened her eyes again, she was nearly blinded by the light from the ceiling. She closed her eyes again and whispered uncomfortably, "Where am I this time?"
"Are you okay?" the system asked with concern. "We're in the lounge. When you fainted earlier, Jin Yuan dragged you here to rest."
"You've completed your mission, so I let you come back."
Tan Mo lay down on the sofa and raised her upper body lazily. The slightest movement made her frown because of the soreness in her hands.
It felt as if the hand no longer belonged to her.
"I never thought Huang Meimei's biggest intolerance was mysophobia. She went ballistic when Hu Jiayu ate fruit and the juice splashed on him," Tan Mo said, shaking her sore arms. "She's also incredibly strong. Even I can't handle it."
System: "That's right, Hu Jiayu was beaten to a pulp. Luckily, he wasn't hit in the face; the blows landed on invisible parts of his body."
Tan Mo thought of the key point: "What if Hu Jiayu takes revenge on Huang Meimei?"
"It's okay. I will replace Hu Jiayu's memory with this kind of reader-issued beating mission, so he won't remember it."
"Your readers are very satisfied with this."
"That's good." Tan Mo felt relieved, then took out her cell phone, opened her account as usual, and checked the balance.
8,623,854.088
Before I knew it, it had reached more than 8 million.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the million-dollar reward. You have heard a lot of gossip about Hu Jiayu today, and I have paid you for it." Looking at Tan Mo who unconsciously had a smile on her lips, the service-oriented system said proudly.
Tan Mo lay back down on the sofa with a carefree look on her face. "It would be nice if I could listen to gossip every day. The tasks you give out are a bit tiring."
The system didn't bother to pay attention to the host's nagging. In order to let Tan Mo complete the task, its energy was almost used up.
It hid back.
Tan Mo mainly slacked off today and only went out after resting enough in the lounge.
She planned to get off work early and go home to lie down, since Nangong Lie didn't need her anyway.
To get from the lounge to the studio, you have to go through the dressing room.
When Tan Mo passed by the dressing room, she deliberately curled her lips, still despising the greasy Hu Jiayu, and really wanted to take a picture of Hu Jiayu's ugly appearance in the dressing room, throw it to her fans, and yell at them to run away and eat something good.
"It hurts so much, please help me blow on it, I'm in such a bad state today, I'm covered in bruises."
Tan Mo stopped in her tracks.
It was definitely not that she was eavesdropping on purpose, but the voices in the room were not controlled and drifted into her ears.
And the reason that made her stop: this was Hu Jiayu's voice.
She couldn't possibly be wrong, but who was Hu Jiayu being so pretentiously coquettish and adoring to?!
This idol who is so oily can actually act like a spoiled brat.
"If I didn't want to see you and have more contact with you, I would never come to a place like this!"
This is too ambiguous. Tan Mo shuddered and subconsciously concluded that Hu Jiayu was pretending to be aggrieved in front of his partner.
Who is his other half?
Tan Mo stopped to listen carefully out of curiosity, but the other person's voice was so soft that she could only tell it was a girl.
Since Hu Jiayu is the male protagonist of the book "Exclusively Favoring the Ex: The Superstar's Fiery First Love", Tan Mo is actually not surprised that he has a girlfriend.
If there is no girlfriend, can it still be called an old-fashioned romance novel?
Tan Mo was just curious about who the heroine was.
It would have been fine if I hadn't done the tasks for this book before, but now...
"Who is Hu Jiayu's other half?" Tan Mo asked the system impatiently.
The system was so sleepy that it yawned and said, "Lin Yu."
Tan Mo: ...
*
Knowing that Lin Yu was the heroine of "Exclusively Loved Ex: The Hot Wife of a Superstar", the first thought that popped into Tan Mo's mind was: Report, Boss Nangong Lie, someone is trying to fleece you.
Lin Yu and Hu Jiayu were dating at public expense using Nangong Lie's money!
If Nangong Lie knew about this, he would be furious!
No wonder Hu Jiayu chose Lin Yu as his female partner, and Lin Yu didn't object.
But overall, Tan Mo was not very surprised that the two were a couple. If you think about it carefully, there are clues to follow.

Looking at the busy streets, Tan Mo sighed deeply: "After all, I am the only one who is a complete beast of burden."
"System, are you sure I'm just an assistant? I don't have any hidden identities? Like, I'm a martial arts master, the head of a secret cabinet that controls all the world's correspondence? A spy? An assassin?"
"Host, we are from an urban background."
"Oh." All her childhood dreams were shattered, and Tan Mo sighed again.
The system comforted her: "Although she is the heroine, she is indeed the heroine. Although you are a beast of burden, you are indeed a beast of burden."
Tan Mo was so angry that she laughed.
Looking around, the setting sun suddenly appeared in front of Tan Mo, shining with golden light, reminding her of a summer swimming pool, explosive yet gentle.
The faint aroma of egg-filled pancakes drifted into Tan Mo's nostrils, and her mood suddenly improved.
"Never mind, it's just a bunch of crap. I finally get off work so early, I'm going to buy two egg-filled pancakes to take home and eat while watching a movie." Then, he skipped and ran to the snack stand.
In the open space after she left, two men in suits wearing sunglasses appeared, with serious faces and no smiles.
One of them took out his cell phone and made a call: "Hello, we found the missing young lady."
