Drink too much
Guan Shanyue put it away casually: "I don't need it for now, please help me introduce someone when I need it."
Shao Zizhuo remained silent.
Shao Zizhuo had come in a hurry. He looked at his watch and said, "I have a meeting. I won't have dinner with you today."
Guan Shanyue nodded: "It's okay, go ahead and do your work."
Shao Zizhuo left. Guan Shanyue curled up in bed, wrapped herself in the quilt, and clicked on the hot search. The first entry "Shao's Lin Wan" was followed by a red "explosion" word. She browsed through the hot search at a glance. There were more than ten negative entries related to Lin Wan, scattered on the hot search list, occasionally mixed with a few unfamiliar names, perhaps also related to Lin Wan.
She randomly clicked on one, and the front row was a fan account. "After so many years, it's time to make the truth about Zhou You's retirement public. Lin Wan, it's time for us to settle our accounts."
There are nine pictures below, the first one is a still from a drama. The person in the picture is wearing a Dacron shirt that was popular in the 1980s and 1990s, with handsome eyes and righteous expression. Guan Shanyue quickly learned about this person with the help of comments - a handsome young man who was very popular across the country in the last century, and his fans were known for their long-lasting loyalty.
Guan Shanyue sighed silently in her heart, no wonder, Lin Wan's negative information was linked to the retired entertainment circle's white moonlight, so that the popularity could be maintained by relying solely on the attention of fans and onlookers, and Shao Zizhuo only needed to make a move and add fuel to the flames.
She looked down again, and the next eight pictures organized the timeline of Zhou You and Lin Wan's love in a very organized manner. One of the parts was marked in red, and the words "The second generation of the Shaw family interfered" were added, and many pieces of evidence of Shao Zizhuo's father's crimes were listed.
The comments below are all about speaking up for Zhou You, lamenting that he is a pure white lotus in the big dye vat of the entertainment industry, and by the way, they also call the second generation of Shaw Brothers a male mistress.
Guan Shanyue couldn't help laughing. Shao Zizhuo was really... he really didn't let anyone go.
When ice-cold soda in midsummer is gently shaken, sweet bubbles float up, break on the surface, and blend into the air, leaving only an elusive sweetness.
Guan Shanyue sat with her knees hugged, her arms wrapped around herself, forming a cocoon of unevenness. She suddenly thought of the "ball" that had appeared out of nowhere and the miserable life that followed after running with it. But now, things seemed increasingly different from what she'd seen in the book.
Guan Shanyue pinched the bank card she carried with her, the one that belonged to her.
The back of her hand was lightly scratched, leaving a brief and slight pain. She realized later that there was a hard card next to it. Oh, yes, she also had a company that was just beginning to take shape.
If she becomes optimistic, maybe she can really change some small differences and thus affect the direction of the plot?
The company's structure planning has been completed, and the necessary documents have also gone through the process. Guan Shanyue picked up the computer and posted a job announcement online. Everything can be created by oneself, right?
Not long after the job posting was published, the phone rang. Niuniu exclaimed on the other end of the line, "Sister Shanyue, are you going to start a company?"
"How do you know?"
The person on the other end exclaimed again, unable to contain their joy: "My mom's been nagging me to find a partner lately, and I'm so annoyed that I'm planning to find a project to pitch and find something to do to avoid her. You have no idea what a coincidence! I was just opening a job search app to look for promising startups, and the first person I fell in love with was Lanshan. I clicked on it and saw that I actually had the contact's phone number. It was you!"
Guan Shanyue also smiled: "How about it, are there any high-quality clients interested in investing in my small company?"
The other party said without hesitation: "Of course!" He paused and then immediately added, "How many people have you recruited?"
Guan Shanyue laughed dumbly: "How can we recruit people so quickly after just sending out the recruitment notice?"
The person on the other end was beaming: "How about I recommend someone to you? He just resigned from a big company some time ago. He's my college classmate and very capable." Immediately, the contact person with the Samoyed avatar sent a resume.
The resume's owner was Wang Xi, a serious-looking man in his ID photo. Guan Shanyue read it all at a glance. "Assistant to the President," "President of Nineteen Major Projects," each entry caught Guan Shanyue's eye. The more she read, the more excited she became. She sat up straight involuntarily, "Could someone like that really be willing to come to my little temple?"
Niu Niu assured her, "Of course, she left the big company because as a general assistant, she had to follow the president's orders unconditionally. But as you know, not every president is a normal person, so she left. I just had dinner with her a few days ago, and she's thinking about joining a startup, preferably one that gives her enough freedom to develop her management skills. Your place would be a perfect fit."
Guan Shanyue quickly agreed: "Sure!"
Another call came in quickly from the other end: "This is her number. I'll tell her. You guys will have to discuss what happens next."
After Guan Shanyue hung up the phone, she called Niuniu again. After a very polite greeting, she briefly introduced the company's situation to the person on the other end. She was eager to recruit talents, so she suddenly felt embarrassed: "I don't have anything here yet, just a company structure plan, but the necessary certificates have been obtained. The company is not yet on the right track. You can think about it again..."
Wang Xi's voice was as cold as her. "Don't worry, I'll do it. Send me the specific location of the company and when will I start work?"
Guan Shanyue's words were stuck in her throat. She was stunned for a moment. "I'll send you the address. It's a newly rented floor. The furniture has just been moved in. They're opening the windows for ventilation. I'll take you to see it tomorrow."
"Okay, happy cooperation."
Guan Shanyue replied, "It's a pleasure to work with you."
She was stunned by the huge pie. Such an impressive person agreed to work for her company? This was too easy.
Guan Shanyue was even more surprised to learn that their two minds immediately clicked. She promised Wang Xi a 30% stake in the company, and Wang Xi immediately demonstrated strong control, expertly assisting Guan Shanyue with tasks like hiring and opening the company. He also leveraged his connections to lead the team and secure the company's first high-net-worth venture capital client.
Guan Shanyue smiled brightly: "I'll treat everyone to a big dinner tonight."
The new little girl shouted excitedly: "I want to eat seafood!"
Wang Xi leaned against the filing cabinet and raised an eyebrow at Guan Shanyue: "Mr. Guan is spending money."
There weren't many people in the team, and they were all about the same age. Guan Shanyue and Wang Xi were humble, and with Niu Niu coming over to join in the fun, the group was laughing and making noise in the private room, and everyone had a few drinks.
Guan Shanyue's face flushed, his eyes blurred, he leaned on Niuniu: "It's great to know you, why aren't you the male lead?"
Niuniu was a good drinker and still somewhat sober: "What are you talking about? I'm a woman. I don't want to be a stinky man." She pushed Guan Shanyue in disdain, "You're drunk and talking nonsense. I'll let Brother Zizhuo come pick you up."
Guan Shanyue felt sleepy, and she nodded her head slightly, mumbling, "It's not destined that he and I can be together. I don't want him, I don't want him."
Niuniu was sober, but not completely. When she heard Guan Shanyue say no, she started to persuade her earnestly: "I originally thought Brother Zizhuo was using you as a substitute, but you were kidnapped by Aunt Lin, and he was so anxious that he quit Shaw Brothers, severed ties with his family, and even brought out his family's dirty laundry for the public to see. He didn't treat Sister Wangshu like that."
Niuniu pointed at her eyes with two fingers, then pointed at Guan Shanyue: "I have a pair of sharp eyes, I can see clearly, he likes you, he likes you very much."
Guan Shanyue had fallen asleep, breathing evenly. Niu Niu was impatient and wanted to wake her up.
Wang Xi was the most clear-headed person in the room. She grabbed Niuniu's hand and frowned, "Don't wake her up. Ask her family to come pick her up."
Niuniu let go, and Guan Shanyue collapsed onto the table, completely asleep. She pouted and angrily complained to Wang Xi, "She has no family left; she died in a car accident. She only has a boyfriend. He says he likes her, and he really likes her, but he kind of treats her like a stand-in, you know?"
She looked up at Wang Xi, saw his face clearly, and pushed him: "Oh, it's you, then you don't understand."
"Body substitute?" Wang Xi looked at Niu Niu in disbelief.
Niuniu nodded resentfully: "Forget it, I'd better give Shao Zizhuo a call." She rummaged through her pockets, "Where's my phone?"
Shao Zizhuo? Wang Xi froze in place, her gaze slowly falling on Guan Shanyue. Guan Shanyue was soundly asleep, her face resting on her arm, revealing red marks from being squeezed. She looked again and again, and indeed, Yuan Wangshu looked somewhat like her.
Because she was the general assistant of another large group before, she heard a lot of things in the circle. The chaotic relationships between men and women and drama were the eternal themes. Only Shaw Brothers' general manager Shao Zizhuo kept himself clean. Apart from his well-known white moonlight Yuan Wangshu, there were no other scandals.
But at this moment, her companion who had hit it off with her at first sight suddenly became a tragic outsider in this secretive relationship in the circle, a stand-in who looked 70% similar to her.
The wine seemed to make Wang Xi feel hot, and she wanted to pull Guan Shanyue up to ask her what she felt about being someone else's stand-in, and whether that person loved her or Yuan Wangshu.
She was about to shake him awake when a voice came from the door: "Hello, I'm here to pick up Guan Shanyue."
Wang Xi looked up and instantly recognized the person.
The person at the door was heading in this direction. As they passed her, they brought with them a gust of fresh, crisp outdoor air, dispersing the alcoholic odor in the room. "Thank you for taking care of her. I'll come pick her up. My assistant will take you home later." Shao Zizhuo patted Guan Shanyue gently, "Guan Shanyue, wake up. We're going home."
How come there aren't any affectionate terms between boyfriends and girlfriends? Wang Xi pulled her hair and impatiently grabbed his hand: "If you're using her as a substitute, then stop pretending to be deeply in love. If you don't love her, just let her go, okay?"
