clichéd dribbling
"Those creditors come to press you every day, making you nervous and dodging everywhere. You rely on the few dollars you earn working in a coffee shop. How long will it take to pay back the 50 million?" The pot-bellied middle-aged man sighed and spoke earnestly, his face showing that he was concerned about the girl in front of him.
"But if Mr. Shao takes a liking to you, things will be different. He can easily give you a little money to pay off your parents' debt and ensure that you will have a comfortable life for the rest of your life."
While Zhou Fu was trying to persuade him with all his might, he was observing Guan Shanyue who was sitting quietly in front of him.
She was wearing the uniform issued by the coffee shop, a beige apron over a gray uniform, no makeup or lipstick, but she was effortlessly beautiful. Most importantly...
Zhou Fu drank his tea with satisfaction and continued to persuade.
"Mr. Shao is also handsome. Just looking at that face, if he goes into the entertainment industry, he will definitely be a top star. Moreover, he is very capable. He will be the person in charge of Shaw Group at a young age." Zhou Fu leaned back in a casual manner, but the plastic chair was unstable and it fell over if he leaned too hard. He grabbed the table, steadied himself, sat upright, and waited for Guan Shanyue to speak.
Guan Shanyue was stunned, with eight hundred comments flashing through his head.
Aren't I working overtime? Why am I wearing a coffee shop uniform? Where am I even? What's going on? Did I break the law by drinking water? Why did a stranger suddenly show up in the tea room and say strange things, implicitly telling me to hook up with the "young boss"?
Ahhhhh, Guan Shanyue screamed silently in her heart.
The project has to be concluded tomorrow and the report materials need to be submitted! ! ! ! How can I have time to play house here?
As a responsible and qualified social animal, Guan Shanyue was anxious to go back and continue working overtime. He subconsciously bowed and apologized to the person in front of him: "Sorry, sorry, uncle, you got the wrong person. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." He stood up and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, there was a beep in my head, and a cold and heartless machine voice rang out: "Hello, host number 117, Ms. Guan Shanyue, congratulations on binding to the sadistic story system."
Accompanied by a tiny, merciless electric current, Guan Shanyue shuddered, paused, and fell back into the chair with a wooden face.
You've gone insane from working overtime, right? Why are there strange noises in your head? Why is there still electricity?!
"You're not crazy, Miss Guan. This is the world of the novel you read the day before yesterday, 'The Domineering CEO's Love: The Runaway Wife Doesn't Suffer.' You've transmigrated into the heroine with the same name as you, and haven't met the hero yet. Please activate the plot point without destroying the original heroine's character—use Zhou Fu to complete your first meeting with the hero and successfully stay by his side."
???
Guan Shanyue quickly recalled the mindless novel he'd read while slacking off the day before. The heroine, driven to pay off a debt, was thrust into the hero's presence. Because of her resemblance to the hero's Bai Yueguang, she became his canary. Then, Bai Yueguang returned home, and the heroine, disheartened, left. As for the ending, it was the same old, clichéd story of running off with the baby and chasing his wife to the crematorium.
Although the heroine has the same name as her, Guan Shanyue always felt that it was weird, but she didn't want to use her brain and was too lazy to look up other things, so she just scanned the whole thing.
But after watching it, I felt like I had eaten eight pounds of flies, which were stuck in my mouth, neither moving up nor down. I wanted to vomit, but I couldn't. I tried to swallow it, but no, it was disgusting.
I don’t know if the domineering CEO dotes on her, but the heroine has definitely suffered a lot!!
The gentle but stubborn little white flower heroine was abused physically and mentally after falling in love with the hero. To put it nicely, she was treated as a canary, and to put it bluntly, she was treated as a nanny who provided emotional value to the hero. Even in this situation, when she left the hero, she still wanted to save face and did not take a penny.
Because she had no money, her pregnancy was very difficult. She didn't take good care of herself after the baby was born and fell ill. Because she had to take care of the child all the time, the heroine, who was a top student, was reduced to doing odd jobs to earn a living to support her and her mother.
And what about the hero? A second-generation rich man, whose inheritance alone would have vaulted him to the top of the national rich list, yet he possesses a fiercely ambitious spirit. While torturing the heroine, he steadily expands his business empire. Even after losing her, his life remains relatively unbearable. He occasionally finds himself in the dead of night, swaying a glass of wine worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, overlooking the city lights from his high-rise apartment, thinking of her and shedding a few tears of regret.
She just suffered a lot and her life was a mess, but he lost the person he loved the most!
Guan Shanyue was furious at the thought and retorted to the system: "Even if I transmigrated into a book, I wouldn't be happy living like that. It's just paying back the money, right? I'm healthy and well, so why should I be a frustrated canary and ruin my character?"
Another burst of fine electricity shot through Guan Shanyue's body, leaving her whole body numb. The system's mechanical voice rang out, "Please activate the plot point—use Zhou Fu to complete your first meeting with the hero, and accept his invitation to become Bai Yueguang's replacement. The current value is currently 3%. Miss Guan, if you do not activate the plot point or insist on changing your character, the current value will continue to increase."
Am I rushing to be a substitute? Guan Shanyue still refused to give in.
A strong electric current passed through his body, and his eyes were filled with a confusing black, just like the eve of rain due to dark clouds covering the city. A blue electric light flashed quickly, and Guan Shanyue trembled violently. He clenched the tablecloth in his hands. With a force, the tablecloth was torn apart, and the cup full of coffee fell to the ground and shattered. The coffee spilled on the ground, and bursts of white steam rose.
"The current value is currently 10%. Please activate the plot point - use Zhou Fu to complete the first meeting with the male protagonist and accept the male protagonist's invitation to become Bai Yueguang's substitute."
Guan Shanyue covered his heart, lowered his head and gritted his teeth, "Uncle, what do you need me to do?"
Zhou Fumu stared blankly at the broken coffee, and suddenly came to his senses when he heard this: "Ah? Oh, I'm going to discuss business with Mr. Shao in a few days. I'll take you with me. This is the only chance. Whether Mr. Shao can keep you in his... company depends on you."
The pain in his body finally subsided. Guan Shanyue sat up straight and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a piece of paper. "What I mean is, what do I need to do to stay there?"
Okay, since I can't resist, I'll just treat it as acting. Is it okay to ask for some acting tips?
Zhou Fu was stunned. What he said was so blunt. He thought for a moment and said, "You should wear something more elegant, something that doesn't attract dust and makes you look superior."
Party A's colorful black appeared, and Guan Shanyue's mouth twitched: "Is there anything more specific?"
I can't find out the details!!! Zhou Fu thought for a while and then said, "Watch more ballet these days, that's the feeling."
The next day.
She gathered all the loose hair and tied it into a round little bun on her head. A few strands were disobedient and fell aside, but Guan Shanyue ignored them. She checked her makeup in the mirror again, raised her head, revealing her slender neck, and went out.
Guan Shanyue read the book hastily and didn't remember Bai Yueguang's name at all. He did remember the name of the male protagonist, but he couldn't find even a photo after searching the Internet. He had no choice but to guess based on the information he heard from Zhou Fu a few days ago that Bai Yueguang was a ballet dancer or liked ballet, and barely leaned towards this style.
The feeling of not being able to remember anything is like being given the key points for the exam but not remembering anything because you didn't take them seriously. Staring at the paper in amazement in the exam room, Guan Shanyue is feeling this way at this moment.
You have to read books more seriously in the future. Guan Shanyue is so sad that she can’t even cry.
But this feeling disappeared instantly when the girl at the front desk came forward attentively.
The girl at the front desk smiled sincerely and picked up the phone to make a call: "Miss Yuan, the president is receiving Mr. Qi Yue and Mr. Wang. I will call Special Assistant Liu for you. Please sit down and wait for a moment."
Guan Shanyue also smiled. Did he think she was the real boss? Okay, then the efforts of the past two days were not in vain. She smiled as if she was unconscious: "Sorry, you may have recognized the wrong person. My last name is not Yuan."
Zhou Fu took the opportunity to hand over his business card and showed the appointment text message: "I made an appointment with Special Assistant Liu a few days ago."
The text message did come from Assistant Liu's mobile phone number, and it clearly stated that it was sent today.
The girl at the front desk was stunned. Before she could hang up the phone, a familiar voice came from the phone: "Who's here?"
This was the group's headquarters, so for routine matters, the front desk didn't need to notify the president's office. They simply released the person according to the appointment information. The receptionist, sweating profusely, hesitantly said, "Mr. Zhou from Kangda Machinery said he has an appointment, and it's a bit close to the last guest's. Can you bring him up now?"
The person on the other end of the phone was a little confused: "Just follow the rules." Then he hung up.
The receptionist breathed a sigh of relief, then looked up at the two visitors. She was no longer so polite. She swiped the door opener, escorted them to the elevator, and pressed the button for the highest floor. She said in a businesslike manner, "You two go upstairs first. A colleague from the President's Secretary's Office will receive you."
After sending the person to the elevator, the receptionist was unwilling to give up. She pointed her finger at her phone and said, "You don't know that I saw someone today. They look so similar. Who can tell them apart..."
The elevator, with its transparent sides, offers a panoramic view. As the initial sense of weightlessness dissipates, the cars parked on the street shrink to inconspicuous black dots, and the city's streetscape unfolds, opening up a wider field of vision. "We've reached the 33rd floor," the elevator chime chimes in time.
Guan Shanyue came back to his senses, straightened his body, tried to maintain an elegant posture, and stepped onto the 33rd floor.
Zhou Fu followed beside her, but he was not as natural as her. He lowered his posture, arched his back, and greeted the secretary sitting by the door with a smile on his face: "Hello, I am Zhou Fu from Kangda."
The secretary looked up from her computer, glanced at the newcomers, and then fixed her eyes on Guan Shanyue. Without a flicker of emotion, she quickly and calmly looked her over. Then, turning to Zhou Fu, she stood up and guided them to their seats. "Please wait a moment, both of you. The previous guest hasn't come out yet."
As soon as she finished speaking, the pager on her waist rang: "Please ask Mr. Kangda Zhou to come in."
"Please, both of you."
