Qi Shuo looked at Gu Zhou as if he was a fool, "Do you think I like seeing two women fighting in front of me?"
"I don't think so." Gu Zhou said, his face immediately turned serious, "So what's going on?"
Qi Shuo explained, "The initial task was just some simple interactions, and then she was asked to join the company as my assistant. Sun Wanying's abilities were not a problem, so I agreed. A few days later, Yuan Xiang came to the company under the pretext of cooperation between the two companies. As soon as they met, Sun Wanying's system issued a task for Yuan Xiang.
I also speculated about this possibility at the beginning, hinting at the issue of Sun Wanying's resignation.
The resignation was successful, but Sun Wanying's system immediately issued the task again.
"So the system wants Sun Wanying to stay by your side, and is targeting Yuan Xiang?"
Qi Shuo nodded, "Sun Wanying's current state is to do one and put one aside to maintain balance for the time being."
"What about Yuan Xiang? Is there anything unusual?"
Qi Shuo shook his head. "There's nothing unusual at the moment. I also sent someone to investigate her relationships and found her boyfriend. So Yuan Xiang didn't react much to Sun Wanying's mission. Most of the time, she ignored it. She was forced to come to the company by the Yuan family."
Gu Zhou nodded, carefully reviewed Qi Shuo's plot, and made a suggestion, "How about finding a way to support him from behind? Speed up the plot mission and completely get rid of Yuan Xiang?"
Qi Shuo crossed his arms and asked, "What do you think? Why don't you leave the Qi family's patriarch and go find the boss of a small company?"
"Okay, let's pass on this suggestion. Just get a fake engagement with Sun Wanying."
Qi Shuo pursed his lips. It was not like he had not thought about this question before. This was also the reason why he announced the news of his relationship with Sun Wanying.
But the Yuan family still didn't give up. Not to mention getting engaged, even getting married might not be enough to get rid of it.
Seeing Qi Shuo's silence, Gu Zhou felt even more sympathetic. He said, "Be more direct. Help Yuan Xiang elope and send her far away."
"I think it's okay. After all, they are the male and female protagonists, and they will be together sooner or later." Qi Jing also agreed with Gu Zhou's words and just wanted to send him off.
Qi Shuo's heart moved slightly, and he felt that this method was not impossible. If Yuan Xiang left, he would have one less person to deal with.
He nodded and agreed, "I'll let the second brother arrange it."
"Then let's talk about Sun Wanying. What is her current cumulative lifespan?"
Qi Shuo recalled, "About two years."
Qi Jing and Gu Zhou looked at each other and thought the progress seemed a bit slow.
Qi Shuo added, "But Sun Wanying said something very right."
"What's the meaning?"
"The vicious female supporting role." Qi Shuo lowered his eyes. "She told me that there's a setting in the novel where you travel through the book to complete the task of being a vicious female supporting role. But she didn't travel through the book, nor did she surround the male protagonist and target the female protagonist. Instead, she followed me, the villain."
Gu Zhou also pondered, "I've seen similar settings before. Sun Wanying should be considered as saving the affectionate villain."
Qi Shuo looked at Gu Zhou speechlessly. He was the villain for sure, but where was his deep affection?
Gu Zhou spread his hands and said, "According to the plot, you are the villain who is deeply in love with the heroine. There is nothing wrong with that."
"But why would the system come out and ruin the plot?" Qi Jing didn't understand this and looked at Gu Zhou with a puzzled look. This was very wrong.
Gu Zhou wasn't sure either, but his intuition was that, especially since those characters around Sun Wanying were obviously targeting Yuan Xiang.
If she was placed next to the male protagonist, she would definitely be a vicious female supporting role, but since she is next to Qi Shuo, it is hard for him not to think so.
Gu Zhou boldly speculated, "Could that system be related to my uncle, or could it have the same purpose as my uncle, to change the plot?"
Qi Shuo frowned, "If so, then what about the previous system? Was the system also divided into parties?"
"It's not impossible. Since there's a system maintaining the plot, there must be a system trying to sabotage it. Or maybe you're just too likable as a villain, and they don't want you to die tragically?"
Qi Shuo didn't want to comment on this. He just had a headache now.
Gu Zhou did not continue to speak, "Anyway, let's wait and see, cooperate with her to complete more tasks, and earn some lifespan."
Qi Shuo did not refuse. He had no objection as long as cooperating in the acting could save a life.
After taking a sip of coffee, Qi Shuo asked him, "What did you say about the Fu family before?"
"The Fu family is in internal strife, and Fu Lin wants to negotiate a deal with the Qi family. He asked me to act as a liaison."
Qi Shuo naturally knew that Gu Zhou and Fu Lin had joined forces to start a company. Fu Lin was indeed a capable person, and with the influence of the Fu family in Pengcheng, there was nothing wrong with having some contact with them.
Qi Shuo exhaled, "Let him contact the second brother, I'm busy recently."
Gu Zhou made an OK gesture, and without saying anything else, he pulled Qi Jing away. Qi Shuo was too resentful, but he had the foresight to just give him money and not worry about anything, and let it go easily.
After leaving Qi's company, Gu Zhou took Qi Jing for a walk, bought some small things, and ate a lot of snacks before the two went back.
After two days of leisurely play, it was soon the day for Lan Yuan to perform at Baihua Pavilion, and Gu Zhou took Qi Jing there early.
It was still the same theater. This time, people from the Qi family and the Gu family were there, almost booking the entire theater. The only other people left were some big internet celebrities and TV stations, all of whom set up cameras and started live broadcasts.
Lan Yuan became an instant hit in the program a few days ago, and with the help of Gu Zhongqing's company, Lan Yuan is now very popular, and the opera has also become popular. Before the show even started, more than 100,000 people crowded into the live broadcast room waiting.
Qi Jing ate snacks while looking at the stage, and soon came on stage. After Xing'er took over, Lan Yuan's singing skills were superb, and because of Xing'er's experiences, his eyes were sad and beautiful, which was very suitable for the role.
Qi Jing was fascinated by what he heard and was very satisfied. He even had an urge to not throw Xing'er into the underworld and wished she would stay and sing for him.
Gu Zhou was not very interested in this, but because of Gu Xuanyi's memory, he finally understood it this time and was not too resistant.
The live broadcast room was even more lively, with constant barrages of rewards, all of which were praise and compliments, as if some bloodline had been awakened, and even those who didn't understand opera at all found it beautiful.
Xing Er sang attentively on the stage, bringing with her own emotions and expectations for her old friend, and her singing moved many people to tears.
At the end of the play, Xing'er landed gracefully in her costume, her sad eyes slowly closed, and a crystal tear fell.
Qi Jing's eyes were red and he almost cried, but before he could let his emotions get the better of him, a strange breath rushed over, all the lights on the stage went out, even the mobile phones and cameras all stopped working, and they were completely plunged into darkness.
Qi Jing immediately regained control of his emotions and held Gu Zhou's hand. "What is that?"
Gu Zhou raised his hand and threw out the talisman paper. A white light suddenly lit up, and the originally quaint theater became dilapidated. The audience disappeared, leaving only a suffocating gloomy atmosphere.
