The world of film and television begins with the God of Medicine.

Chapter 1595 Madness
Selected living spaces occupy nearly half of the second floor of the startup center.

The staff was assembled in a short period of time, and all of them were part-time students from the university. These students mainly focused on development, and they undertook most of the application development work in the company.

Employees recruited from off-campus branches also include development roles. However, the requirements for external recruitment are relatively higher, and the recruitment process is slower. It's not possible to leverage human resources to complete the development of relevant functions and product iterations in a short period.

However, it's impossible to keep the students on campus working day and night forever. Professional laborers outside the school will gradually replace these reserve laborers on campus.

Currently, due to product iterations, the work atmosphere in the company is still very good, and the trainees are all quite dedicated.

Of course, their income is still quite good. Although it can't compare to that of professional laborers outside, it's still considerable. After all, the company has received funding, and Wang Yan's compensation is generous. The students are working part-time, so the actual workload isn't that heavy; they only work four or five hours a day. Plus, the company provides meals, saving money. In terms of hourly wage, they actually earn quite a bit.

On the other hand, they have gained valuable experience through early involvement in major projects. The selection process is no longer what it used to be; these are truly rising stars in the internet industry…

As soon as I got to the second floor, I felt the liveliness. A group of male classmates were walking into the company together, laughing and joking, their clothes smelling of cigarettes, and discussing random things.

Ignoring the male classmates, Gu Li strode forward aggressively to the selection office to find Wang Yan.

After walking past several offices, I finally saw Wang Yan fiddling with his computer at a workstation by the window.

At the same time, she also saw Lin Quan making a phone call not far away, and he even glanced at her. What's more, Lin Quan waved at her with a grin.

Gu Li took a deep breath, ignoring Lin Quan's provocation, and went straight to the busy Wang Yan.

Wang Yan glanced at Gu Li standing beside him, ignored her, and continued working on his computer. He was now working via email, communicating with partners and employees alike.

The content was varied; some were sent directly to him, some were copied to him according to procedure, some were communication with partners, some were about problems encountered during development, and some were reports from other regions. In short, it was a whole jumbled mess, with hundreds of emails waiting for his reply.

Fortunately, he was very efficient. He could open a new email, glance at it, and reply immediately; his brain's processing efficiency was quite high...

After replying to several emails and not hearing Gu Li speak, Wang Yan chuckled: "Is it come to this point that you don't know what to say? It's too late to regret it now. You want to mess with me but you can't do anything about it. Even if you could, your family could never go back to what it was before, and your unwavering love is now a thing of the past."

Gu Li did have a lot of things to say, but when it came to facing Wang Yan, she really didn't want to curse anymore, because it was really useless and wouldn't do any harm.

She let out a long sigh: "Wang Yan, you are truly despicable and shameless!"

“It seems you still haven’t learned your lesson from this incident and still think it was my fault.” Wang Yan shook his head. “I suggest you go back and find a quiet place to think about it from beginning to end. You may have been too impetuous before, but I believe you can calm down now. Look, you were even speaking in a low voice when you called me despicable and shameless. You’ve made quite a bit of progress.”

Seeing Wang Yan's seemingly pleased expression, Gu Li couldn't muster any more anger. She had already reached her limit and couldn't afford to escalate the situation further.

Wang Yan processed a few more emails. Seeing that Gu Li still hadn't responded and was just staring at him, he couldn't help but say, "If you have something to say, just say it. If not, just leave. Don't stare at me like a statue waiting for its husband. Have you finally discovered my charm and my goodness? It's okay, it's never too late. I welcome you anytime."

Gu Li still didn't say anything else. She snorted, turned around and left, like a defeated person who refused to admit defeat, or like a plucked chicken that still held its head high...

Leaving the startup center, Gu Li wandered aimlessly. The sorrow and regret of yesterday were still there today. Added to that were Gu Yuan's earlier words and his hearty laughter, as if he had achieved a great revenge.

That laughter made Gu Li feel like she had become Gu Yuan's mortal enemy, and the thought of it sent chills down her spine.

However, while feeling a chill, Gu Li also thought of Gu Yuan's words. He said her family had more money left, but she also had a large family.

Gu Li felt that Gu Yuan's words made a lot of sense and were truly thought-provoking. They really reminded her not to be careless during this period of repeated setbacks, lest she be taken advantage of by others.

Relatively speaking, Gu Li is quite clear-headed when it comes to money. After all, she's a contestant who, after losing her father, is already thinking about inheriting the estate right in front of the camera. Now that things have come to this point, Gu Li naturally wants to do her best to secure her future.

So she composed herself and went back to her home without hesitation to fight for the inheritance.

With such a goal in mind, Gu Li's eyes lit up instantly, she became more energetic, and even her steps felt more powerful...

While Gu Li went back to fight for the family fortune, Wang Yan's side was never truly at peace.

"Wang Yan! It's all your fault!"

The childish voice erupted in anger, shattering the harmonious atmosphere in the office.

In an instant, the students all stopped what they were doing, looked at Lin Xiao who was clenching his fists at the door, then turned their gazes to Wang Yan, and then to Lin Quan.

They really look like a bunch of badger who've gotten their hands on some melon seeds.

Working for a boss like this is too exciting! Several women come looking for me every day, and I even get stabbed in front of one of them, and then I get attacked for another woman...

Frankly speaking, Wang Yan's reputation regarding personal conduct isn't very good. Although many male students admire him, and may even aspire to be like him, they generally hold a critical attitude. Watching the drama is one thing, but attitude is another; the two shouldn't be equated.

However, the students only gossiped about it privately when they had nothing else to do; no one really pried into the details...

However, before Wang Yan could speak, Lin Xiao, who was being watched by her classmates, snapped out of it, blushed, and glared at Wang Yan: "You come out here!"

She glared at Lin Quan, who was also watching the commotion, before angrily turning around and going downstairs.

Seeing that his classmates' eyes had turned to him again, Lin Quan said, "Alright, everyone knows that our CEO Wang is a scumbag, so there's nothing surprising about it. Let's get back to work."

Everyone offered friendly smiles, showing their respect for Lin Quan's strong resilience.

Wang Yan shook his head with amusement, offered no explanation, and got up to go downstairs. As soon as he reached the first floor, he saw Lin Xiao standing in the lobby with his arms crossed, exuding a rather menacing aura.

"Wang Yan, it's all your fault!" she said irritably when she saw Wang Yan coming over. "Jian Xi saw me coming to see you yesterday, and he argued with me today. He wants to break up with me!"

"Break up! This is outrageous! Don't they have any trust at all? We have to break up!"

Wang Yan swayed as he walked out, Lin Xiao following closely behind him: "You still have the nerve to ask me to break up? It was clearly you who touched me inappropriately and acted like a scoundrel!"

Once outside the building, Wang Yan lit a cigarette, sat down on the bench, and asked leisurely, "So what do you want? Do you want me to go and clarify things with Jian Xi? He's already suspicious; do you think he'll believe me? He'll just think I'm deliberately trying to provoke him."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"Let's break up," Wang Yan said. "What else is there to say?"

"Are you kidding me? I only came to find you, the culprit, because I don't want to break up."

"Are you kidding me? What does it matter to me whether you break up with Jian Xi or not? I already said, if you don't even have this much trust, it's a good thing you broke up with him. Otherwise, are you going to stop seeing men altogether?"

"You're just making excuses! It's all your fault, if it weren't for you..."

Wang Yan took a drag of his cigarette, blew it out lightly, and said casually, "Aren't you working as a maid for the big boss at that company? Jian Xi just didn't see it. If he had seen what your work situation was like, he would have broken up with you anyway. I admit I acted like a scoundrel, and you didn't object. What does that mean? It means you have feelings for me and don't reject me."

"Get out of here! I'd rather die than have any feelings for you! You're a womanizer, a scumbag!"

Wang Yan didn't care and chuckled, "You just haven't figured it out. What good is it for you to come to me? You can't out-argue me, you can't beat me, you can't out-talk me. All you do is come here and say it's all my fault, but that doesn't do anything substantial. Do you think you don't know all this? You do! So why did you come? Isn't it because you have feelings for me?"

"You...you..." Lin Xiao pointed at Wang Yan, simply unable to believe that there could be such a shameless person in the world.

"What do you mean, 'you'?" Wang Yan reached out and grabbed her hand, pulling her to sit down beside him. He put his arm around her shoulder. "Feelings are mysterious and ambiguous things. You probably don't even know who you like. Do you really like Jian Xi? I doubt it. It's just that you saw her in middle school."

But as you grow up, gain more experience, and become more familiar with each other, you'll stop thinking Jian Xi is anything special. For example, after you met that big boss, did you compare him to Jian Xi? Did you compare me to that big boss? See? You're speechless now, aren't you? Your feelings for Jian Xi have long since wavered.

Then why don't you want to break up? It's because you're too familiar with each other. After so many years together, your sunk costs are too high; being with Jianxi has become a habit. And you're not a decisive person; you can't easily make a clean break. In reality, you haven't liked Jianxi for a long time.

Lin Xiao's struggles as she was held by the shoulder ceased. She stared blankly at the empty space before her, Wang Yan's words echoing in her mind like a demonic chant, stirring up memories of her relationship with Jian Xi over the years. She began to truly reflect on this relationship...

This thing is most vulnerable to reflection; once you start reflecting, problems easily arise. When you're in love, everything seems perfect and beautiful. But when you calm down and think things through carefully, all you can see are its flaws.

It took Lin Xiao a while to come to her senses and realize that she had unknowingly leaned on Wang Yan's shoulder. She stood up abruptly, blushing with embarrassment.

"You're taking advantage of me again, you filthy scoundrel."

"You came to me on your own. It's cold, so I understand. You definitely didn't throw yourself at me because you realized I'm the one you truly like. Don't worry, I know all that."

"Wang Yan! You are utterly shameless!"

Lin Xiao gritted her teeth in anger, kicked Wang Yan, and quickly turned and ran away.

But even she herself couldn't explain why she had come to find Wang Yan...

The lesson people learn from history is that there are no lessons to be learned. This is because later generations generally believe that they are better than their predecessors, and that they could do better under the same circumstances and conditions.

Gu Yuan is like that.

Since the misfortune that befell his family, he had secluded himself in that old house, drinking and smoking without ever going out. Reporting Gu Li's family was the biggest thing he had ever done. After that, Gu Li stopped coming to see him, and Jian Xi inquired about him a few times without receiving a response, so she stopped looking for him as well, and he was eventually forgotten.

Gu Yuan was overwhelmed by a huge sense of frustration and surrounded by endless loneliness.

He didn't want anything else, only two people: Gu Li and Wang Yan. But these two could also be one person; it could be Gu Li or Wang Yan. He could attribute all the problems to Wang Yan, or he could attribute them all to Gu Li.

After careful consideration, he decided to attribute the blame to Wang Yan.

If it weren't for Wang Yan's appearance, none of what followed would have happened. If Wang Yan hadn't given him the evidence, he wouldn't have reported Gu Li's family, leading to the current irreparable situation.

He was starting to regret it...

The more he regretted it, the more he hated Wang Yan. He still couldn't bear to blame Gu Li, even though he already did. This wasn't just empty talk; it reflected his conflicted feelings.

Once a person gets stuck in a rut, it's hard for them to get out of it easily. Gradually, they become stubborn, even manic, develop psychological problems, and suffer from mental illness.

So Gu Yuan sharpened his knife, ready to pounce.

He knew, of course, that Xi Cheng had failed to kill Wang Yan and instead suffered severed tendons in his hands and feet due to various seemingly coincidental events. He had even watched the complete video from multiple angles.

But he thought Xi Cheng was a piece of trash, unable to even kill someone with a knife. He felt he was stronger than Xi Cheng because he had studied martial arts and occasionally worked out. He felt he could easily defeat Xi Cheng.

So he got a knife, sharpened it, and began to train his body. After a month, he thought he had mastered his skills and finally decided to leave the mountain...
