Chapter 20 Meow meow meow
In the original novel of "Paranoia", Ming Ruogui is a character with mixed reputations.
Like her cousin Gu Xingzhou, she has an outspoken personality, dares to love and hate, and does things unconventionally. In the early stage, because she was deceived by Gu Xingzhou's words, she did a lot of wrong things, became an accomplice of Gu Xingzhou in abusing Ning Sheng, and also triggered several bloody jealous plots, which caused dissatisfaction among many readers.
But later, after seeing the truth, it was she who helped Ning Sheng escape from City B, it was she who helped Ning Sheng take revenge behind the scenes, and she was even the first person to invest and support Ning Sheng when he started his business.
Not only that, she also slapped Gu Xingzhou several times in public on behalf of Ning Sheng, leaving his face swollen, helping the readers vent their anger.
Therefore, readers who like her like her to the extreme, and readers who hate her also hate her to the extreme.
Later, the author of "Paranoia" also wrote another exciting story about the entertainment industry with a female lead, "The Rose and the Crown", with her as the protagonist, but that is beside the point.
In Wanjie Live Room, the original plot of "Paranoia Monopoly" is broadcast live on the big screen.
[Sister Ming!] ! Sister Ming! ! ! Cheer! ! ! (Hoarseness)
[Trembling in fear, touching the little roses, in the next part of the plot, Sister Ming will attract a lot of haters again...]
[This rose has a stable mentality (smile). Every time the "Paranoia Monopoly" dungeon opens, I have to go through this. It's amazing.]
[To promote it, friends who are interested in Ming Jie can go to the next door "Rose and Crown" with a heroine and cool story to get into it. The next part of "Paranoia" is recommended to be skipped by friends with fragile hearts~]
Because Ming Ruogui's character creation follows the route of first suppressing and then praising, every time she first appears in the dimension of "Paranoia", she will attract a lot of scolding, and even Ming Ruogui's fans "Little Roses" will be scolded very badly.
The book-crossing challengers of "Paranoid Monopoly" who focused on changing the plot all started with Ning Sheng and Gu Xingzhou, and no one has changed Ming Ruogui's plot line.
Ming Ruogui's fans no longer expect any anchor to restore Ming Ruogui's reputation in the early stages of "Paranoid Monopoly". They just hope that they will not be scolded too badly.
Suddenly, someone on the big screen said
[In a live broadcast room, Sister Ming appears earlier than in other live broadcast rooms. Little Roses can go and wait, maybe there will be new material to watch~ Room number 6666]
[Oh wow, this is interesting. I'll go take a look at this, Master Rose]
【……】
The old fans were silent.
Who is selling Amway blindly!
What you are facing is the abyss...
.
Downstairs of Yuanzhou Group.
Looking at the crowded food stall in the distance and smelling the delicious onion beef fried rice, Ming Ruogui was unable to move.
"Sister Ming, aren't you here to see Mr. Gu?" Bei Shi reminded her, "If you don't go upstairs, Mr. Gu will leave."
Ming Ruogui's role in the next fantasy drama is an ancient goddess with ethereal air. The director said that she has to lose weight to about 80 kilograms so that she will look good on camera.
For this reason, Ming Ruogui has been on a diet for a month and is starving.
If we fail here, all our previous efforts will be wasted.
"You're right, I'm here to look for my brother."
Ming Ruogui nodded and forced herself to look away.
As the heroine of the entertainment industry's cool novels, she still has some self-control.
Although many people say that she is a vase and has poor acting skills, she gives her all in every role she stars in. No matter how brainless or stupid the role is, or how criticized the plot is, or how excessive the director's demands are, she will try her best to fulfill them.
This shows that Ruogui has all kinds of qualities, but no one has ever said that she is "unprofessional".
If you say you want to lose weight to 80 kilograms, you must lose weight to 80 kilograms. Don't touch fried rice, a super high-calorie carbohydrate bomb.
"Yes, yes, and this kind of street food is not hygienic at first glance. I packed one yesterday and it was not tasty at all. I will never eat it again."
"Sister Ming, your body is so precious, only Michelin three stars are worthy of your status~"
Bei Shi rubbed her hands and said with a smile.
Ming Ruogui nodded modestly.
After sending Ming Ruogui into the building, Bei Shi turned around and came out, rushing towards the snack stand with green eyes.
Miss Ming can't eat street food, but she is different.
She is a miserable person, born to eat street food!
She gets angry with anyone who doesn't let her eat!
Today’s fried rice was selling like hot cakes, and when it was Bei Shi’s turn, only ten portions were left. Holding the steaming, fragrant fried rice, Bei Shi's mouth was watering, and she turned around with a smile on her face.
Facing Ming Ruogui's bright and generous face.
Ming Ruogui looked at her inquiringly.
Bei Shi: “…”
Ming Ruogui: "You ate alone without telling me?"
Bei Shi: "No, you, I..."
Ming Ruogui originally came back to get something, but saw Bei Shi, who kept saying that "fried rice is not delicious at all", holding the fried rice and drooling, as if she was going to eat it with relish.
Ming Ruogui felt that she was being fooled.
Rebellion was aroused. Bei Shi, who has been with her through thick and thin since her debut, was actually guarding against her just for a bowl of fried rice.
Ming Ruogui thought, I must try it to see what this fried rice tastes like. Is it really made of gold?
Ming Ruogui waved to the side, and a bodyguard came up respectfully and handed over a sterilized golden spoon.
She wiped her hands, took the spoon, and scooped up a spoonful of fried rice.
The fried rice was just out of the pan, still steaming. Every grain of rice was covered with egg liquid and exuded the aroma of sauce. Glossy and crispy beef cubes were mixed in it.
Bei Shi struggled desperately and said, "Sister Ming, no..."
Ming Ruogui put the spoonful of fried rice into her mouth.
When chewing, the fried rice has a very rich taste. The rice is not too sticky, but loose and chewy, with a salty aroma from the wok. The crispy aroma of the eggs and the tender and tender fried beef cubes are all thoroughly stir-fried. The hot meat oil flows out as you chew, and the spiciness of the onions makes it simply hit you in the mouth.
Sinful and high in calories, but...
Ming Ruogui: “!!!”
So delicious!
The more sinful it was, the more addictive it became. Ming Ruogui simply took the whole bowl and started to devour it in big mouthfuls.
After a month of dieting and not eating meat for so many days, she suddenly broke the rule. Her spleen and stomach, which had been hungry for many days, were completely soothed. The morning sun shone on her, and the birds were singing softly. Ming Ruogui felt that she had never been so peaceful and so happy...
She recalled the summers of her childhood when she and her cousin caught cicadas in the countryside and ran around the village chasing kites all day. When she returned home, her grandmother had cooked a bowl of fragrant fried rice on a wood stove. Those carefree days seemed to have come back along with the indescribable deliciousness on the tip of my tongue.
Why are there disputes in this world?
Why can't everyone just live in peace and enjoy delicious food together?
Ming Ruogui looked up to the sky and cried; her soul was sublimated.
Bei Shi: “…”
"Sister Ming, please leave a bite for me!!!" Bei Shi wailed.
Her fried rice, such a huge bowl of fried rice!
Ming Ruogui ate most of it, and when she heard Bei Shi's wailing, she remembered that this was not her fried rice.
She stopped chewing reluctantly.
Looking at the fried rice stall owner not far away, Ming Ruogui suddenly had an idea in her mind, a brilliant idea.
Before ten o'clock today, one hundred servings of fried rice were sold out.
Jian Yunlan was very satisfied. He had fed many hungry diners today. Seeing everyone's happy smiles as they enjoyed the food, he was extremely happy.
It's time to pack up and go home.
There were five or six customers who lined up late and were unlucky enough not to get one. They were doubting their lives in disbelief:
"One hundred copies?? Only one hundred copies??!"
"If I had known, I would have come earlier..."
"Boss, can't you sell me one more?"
Before, when Jian Yunlan's restaurant was deserted, they were afraid of being ripped off and did not dare to line up. It was only when everyone started eating enthusiastically that they realized something was wrong.
If you hesitate, you will fail!
I really hate myself for not queuing up earlier.
Jian Yunlan shook her head regretfully: "There are only a hundred orders a day. I will set up a stall here at nine o'clock every day this week. You are welcome to come again tomorrow!"
"Okay, you keep your word." Everyone said with tears in their eyes.
Suddenly, a beautiful and flamboyant figure walked through the crowd and stood in front of Jian Yunlan.
Ming Ruogui was wearing a red dress, champagne-colored high heels, and sunglasses, and her aura was fully on: "Boss, what's your name?"
The crowd looked at her in surprise.
Wait, is this the big star Ming Ruogui?
Jian Yunlan: "Excuse me, my surname is Jian."
Ming Ruogui raised her chin and handed over her business card: "I am Ming Ruogui, this is my business card. I will tell you the reason for my visit this time..."
"I'll give you five million. How about you stop setting up a stall and become my private chef?"
Crowd: “…”
Ahhhh no!
It’s over, it’s over, it’s over. The boss is going to be poached to be a private chef, and they will never be able to eat such delicious fried rice again in their lives.
Who can refuse five million? That’s five million. It’s not certain that you can earn five million from setting up a stall in the Tang Dynasty to today, right?
Damn rich people!
However.
Jian Yunlan smiled slightly, but was very moved to refuse: "Thank you for your appreciation, but the meaning of my life is to set up a stall, so I'm sorry I can't accept it."
Ming Ruogui took off her sunglasses and looked at him deeply.
She didn't believe that there was anyone in this world who could resist the temptation of money. If there was, it must be because the money was not given enough.
"Ten million?"
Jian Yunlan: "No."
Ming Ruogui: "... plus two shops in the city center?"
Jian Yunlan: "No."
The crowd looked at him with horror.
The snack stand owner is so dignified that he won't bow down for a few pieces of silver!
You never know what the snack stand owner who gave you fried rice actually rejected.
Ming Ruogui took a deep breath: "Fifty million?"
Jian Yunlan shook her head: "No, I'm going back. If you are interested in fried rice, you are welcome to buy it at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
In an instant, Ming Ruogui began to understand her cousin's obsession with Ning Sheng.
She couldn't understand it before, but after thinking about it carefully, if Ning Sheng = fried rice:
How can such delicious fried rice (Ning Sheng) be eaten by other people! No, she will use all means to make the fried rice chef (Ning Sheng) her own private one, so that she can eat delicious fried rice (Ning Sheng) every day!
If I hire a bodyguard, I can secretly wait for Boss Jian on his way home, knock him out, and then...
Some dangerous thoughts flashed through Ming Ruogui's mind.
I have to say that they have a bit of a forced love gene in their family.
Ming Ruogui looked at the burly bodyguards around her. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it would work and she became eager to try.
but--
As if he could see through her thoughts, Jian Yunlan looked at her deeply. His beautiful eyes, which were so black that they looked blue, contained a profound Zen meaning.
"Ms. Ming, do you think fried rice is delicious just because of the fried rice itself?"
Ming Ruogui: "What do you mean?"
"If you were in your luxurious villa, using precious tableware, surrounded by servants...without the sunshine, birdsong, and the company of a lively crowd, would you still think the same fried rice was so delicious?"
Ming Ruogui pondered over his words.
Very, very meaningful.
Jian Yun's blue eyes:
"Miss Ming, things have changed and people have changed, that's probably the case."
Ming Ruogui was struck by lightning.
She understood!
A nightingale imprisoned in an expensive cage cannot sing its beautiful melodies, and the same is true for a cook.
Some nightingales belong only to the sky, and some cooks belong only to street food stalls...
No high-end restaurant or wealthy person's private chef can stop him from setting up a stall!
But Ming Ruogui was still unwilling to give up. She gritted her teeth and gambled everything, making a final attempt: "In addition, I will give you all the shares of Yuanzhou Group under my name?"
The crowd gasped.
According to the current market price of Yuanzhou Group, this is wealth that cannot be squandered in several lifetimes!
Not to mention Jian Yunlan, they were all moved.
If Jian Yunlan accepted it at this time, no one could blame him because they would make the same choice.
Wow, is it really true that I will never be able to eat such delicious fried rice again?
However, Jian Yunlan still just smiled lightly and said, "Sorry, I don't accept it."
Ming Ruogui: “Humph.”
The next second, something shocking happened.
Ming Ruogui curled her lips slightly, revealing a smile that showed she was planning a strategy, and then -
She slid to her knees, hugged Jian Yunlan's thighs and burst into tears: "Wuwuwu, I beg you to be my private chef. I will give you whatever you want!!!"
Bei Shi: “…”
Crowd: “…”
Wait, that noble and cool national top female star, turns out to be like this?
Miss, your character has collapsed!
.
Yuanzhou Group, top floor.
Gu Xingzhou stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the bustling city below. The crowds of people were moving through the jungle of steel and concrete like ants.
So small, yet everlasting.
It has been exactly four days since I last saw Ning Sheng.
There is an unknown fire burning in my heart.
Ming Ruogui sat on the sofa, looking a little sad.
But, I feel more relieved.
Boss Jian has chosen his path, and no one can change it, not even her. All she can do is wish...
There is also a queue.
"What's wrong?" Gu Xingzhou glanced at her indifferently.
"I was rejected," Ming Ruogui sighed, and said, "It turns out that there are people in this world who cannot be bought by money."
Gu Xingzhou sneered.
The pale, handsome and stubborn figure appeared before my eyes.
"Of course."
His Ah Sheng is that person.
Ning Sheng would bow down for money, and force himself to do things he doesn't like for the sake of his mother's job and his grandmother's medical expenses.
However, money cannot buy his true heart.
Gu Xingzhou said: "If you want something, you have to fight for it yourself. Who is the man who rejected you? An actor, a singer, or a model?"
He didn't mind doing his cousin a small favor and doing her a favour.
Ming Ruogui: "It's the owner of the snack stand downstairs from your company."
Gu Xingzhou: “?”
"Let's not talk about this anymore," Ming Ruogui yawned, "Why did you call me here today? Just tell me, I still need to go back and catch up on some sleep."
Gu Xingzhou's eyes darkened.
"Sister, please help me find Chairman Du to do something."
Chairman Du of Hongtu Technology is Ming Ruogui's godmother. She dotes on Ming Ruogui the most and almost always meets Ming Ruogui's requests.
Ming Ruogui: "What's the matter?"
Gu Xingzhou was holding a photo frame in his hand. In the frame was a photo that had been broken into two pieces and then carefully glued together. The young man in the photo was smiling happily, as if he had no worries at all.
Gu Xingzhou's fingertips slid across the photo coldly, and he said softly:
"Using the company's internal restructuring as an excuse, we are canceling Ning Sheng's job offer."
Gu Xingzhou would never give away what he wanted to others, even if it would be destroyed in his own hands.
He wanted Ning Sheng to belong to him alone.
However, Ning Sheng gradually had teachers, friends, and new opportunities, and began to smile in places he could not see. Ning Sheng began to grow up and was ready to spread his wings and fly far away.
Gu Xingzhou would not allow that to happen.
He wanted to break Ning Sheng's wings, tear his feathers apart, and let Ning Sheng fall from the sky. From then on, he could only rely on Gu Xingzhou's mercy to live, and could only stay in his kitchen obediently wearing an apron and making fried rice for him.
"Don't worry. After canceling his offer, I will arrange for him to join Yuanzhou Group and offer him a high salary as my personal secretary. I won't let him down."
Ming Ruogui has the blood of the Gu family flowing in her veins. The Gu family is naturally cold-blooded and never takes worldly justice seriously.
Blood is thicker than water, and it is common to help relatives rather than others, this is what they have been taught since childhood. Therefore, no matter what trouble Gu Xingzhou got into, his family would always cover for him and help him settle everything.
Naturally, Ming Ruogui would also help him.
...That’s what Gu Xingzhou thought.
Looking at Ming Ruogui, Gu Xingzhou said, "Sister, you will help me, right?"
However.
After a moment's silence, Ming Ruogui looked at him with sympathetic eyes and said:
"Don't be crazy."
Gu Xingzhou: “?”
Ming Ruogui: "Brother, a forced melon is not sweet."
This is what Ming Ruogui just realized today.
She also thought about forcing love on the snack stand owner.
But think about it carefully, even if she could really imprison Boss Jian at home and force him to only make fried rice for her every day...what would happen?
Just like what the boss said, a chef imprisoned in a private villa would definitely not be able to cook such delicious meals. Even if he could make it, things and people would have changed.
On a busy street, on a sunny morning, queuing up with strangers, and finally eating a bowl of hot fried rice - that kind of happy feeling is incomparable to sitting in a spotless villa, using exquisite kitchen utensils, and being surrounded by servants to have an exquisite but tasteless dinner.
Ming Ruogui said earnestly:
“Only a free nightingale can sing.”
If she had not met Boss Jian, she might have agreed to Gu Xingzhou's request.
After all, Ning Sheng was just an insignificant stranger to her, but Gu Xingzhou was her cousin who grew up with her.
But now, her mood has changed.
Gu Xingzhou: “???”
"Why do people hurt each other?" Ming Ruogui seemed to be shrouded in a divine light. She smiled gently, "If you love him, you should respect him and give him freedom."
Ming Ruogui also said this to herself:
If you love him (his fried rice), you should respect him (his right to set up a stall) and give him freedom (to set up a stall to sell fried rice and be an obedient customer waiting in line).
Gu Xingzhou: “…”
"Sister, you have changed." Gu Xingzhou looked at her with sinister eyes and an unbelievable tone.
Ming Ruogui sighed: "Then just think of me as having changed."
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Ming Ruogui stood up and took a long breath. "I'll give you a piece of advice. You should avoid doing things that violate the law and discipline."
Gu Xingzhou: "Sister, you——"
Ming Ruogui had already turned around and walked out.
The door was slammed shut.
Gu Xingzhou took a few steps back, fell into a chair, held the photo, and murmured:
"Ah Sheng, my sister doesn't approve of us being together. She won't help me anymore."
"Are you so cruel? For so many days..."
"You don't even look at me?"
Live broadcast room of all worlds.
Every time the plot reaches this part, the barrage will experience a surge.
——In the original novel, Ming Ruogui agreed to Gu Xingzhou's request, and Ning Sheng had just graduated and lost his engineering job at Hongtu Technology. Other companies had been informed in advance that they were unwilling to accept him, so he was forced to join Gu Xingzhou's company. As a top student from Peking University, he became Gu Xingzhou's personal secretary.
After that, there was a series of physical and mental abuse, and he was chasing after him. Ning Sheng's financial resources and the power of life and death were firmly in Gu Xingzhou's hands. She was forced to agree to his various unreasonable and excessive demands, and she became more and more depressed, sinking deeper and deeper.
【Gu Gou is crazy enough】
[Everything else is fine, but he actually wanted to find someone to cancel Ning Bao’s offer. This is really intolerable! ! ! If I put myself in his shoes, I would be so angry that I would die. This kind of scumbag legal actor should just be sent to the crematorium! ! ! 】
[“Paranoia Monopoly” is a long time ago. It was popular at that time. This is still good. There are still romance channels where people pour out their hearts, lungs and uterus.]
[New audience trembles]
[Ming Ruogui is so annoying. She actually became Gu Gou's accomplice. It's hard to understand why she still has so many fans...]
[Oh shit oh shit!] Room number 6666, the plot has changed, Sister Ming did not agree to Gu Gou’s request! You guys go and see, our little rose has finally turned over after being scolded for so many years! 】
The audience was stunned.
The plot has changed?
Can this plot still change? !
"Paranoia" is divided into two parts, the campus chapter and the workplace chapter, so the plot of Ning Sheng joining Yuanzhou Group is necessary. Ming Ruogui has helped Gu Xingzhou every time, and no one can change it.
Otherwise, more than half of the original plot of "Paranoia" would have simply evaporated.
but……
Thousands of viewers flocked into Jian Yunlan's live broadcast room at the same time.
Looking at the screen, Ming Ruogui seemed to be enveloped by holy light and uttered the classic words:
"Don't be crazy."
[Hahahaha, I’m dying of laughter. So cool. I’ve wanted to hear someone say this to Gu Gou for a long time.]
[(pounding the table) Gu Gou's face has turned green, did you guys take a screenshot? Use it to make an emoticon package:))]
[Classic, recorded in history]
Not only that, in stark contrast to the original novel, she decisively rejected Gu Xingzhou's request and even said things like "A forced melon is not sweet" and "You should do less illegal things."
The audience watched the recording with great excitement, which was even more exciting than reading a good article.
[Sister Ming is so awesome!] ! ! 】
[From hater to fan...]
[Sister Ming, the woman among women, the female among females, the queen, the master, the pinnacle! 】
[Fuck, I was young and ignorant before, and I said bad things about Sister Ming. I’m so sorry orz]
[Why did Sister Ming make a different choice in this live broadcast room? 】
Someone asked a question.
After carefully reading the recording and making careful inferences, everyone fell into deep thought.
Ming Ruogui was healed by Boss Jian's fried rice, and then discovered the argument that "fried rice = Ning Sheng". She put herself in Gu Xingzhou's shoes and the perspective of forced love. After being enlightened by Boss Jian's few words, she finally realized... A forced melon is not sweet?
What’s strange is that fried rice plays a very important role in this logical chain.
Everyone couldn't help but ask soul-searching questions:
How delicious is Jian Yunlan’s fried rice? ? ! !
