Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Chapter 274 The Second Male Lead in a Historical Fiction [The End]

What he set his sights on first was "Stellar Trade," a business that would belong to commercial giants in the future.

Cheng Li was confident that his unique insights would get him in, but when he confidently entered the interview room, the person sitting in the middle opposite him made him panic.

A dashing and spirited young man, dressed in a well-tailored suit, sat in the middle, looking down at the documents in his hands.

His refined features have matured somewhat compared to seven years ago, and he exudes a greater air of authority.

When those seemingly calm yet slightly sharp eyes looked over, Cheng Li felt a surge of inferiority from the bottom of her heart.

Cheng Li didn't even dare to admit that this person was Gu Yuzhi from Xicun, who lost his parents at a young age and lived with his grandmother.

When Cheng Li met Gu Yuzhi's gaze, she hurriedly lowered her head and awkwardly tugged at the poor-quality shirt that Gu Ye had bought for her.

Akahoshi watched this scene from the side, his eyes filled with malice.

He looked down at the clothes he was wearing. They were specially designed for him by a designer, and they were far superior to any cheap clothes sold at street stalls.

She couldn't help but scoff inwardly: "Ayu is just head over heels in love with me; there's no way he could like someone like this."

250 rolled his eyes: [You're right, you're absolutely right.]

"Hello, may I introduce myself?" the interviewer sitting next to Gu Yuzhi prompted.

When Cheng Li faced these five people, the lines she had prepared suddenly became stuck in her throat.

Especially with Gu Yuzhi watching, she could only whisper, "Hello, my name is Cheng Li..."

"Could you speak a little louder, sir?" the interviewer reminded him again.

Their department was newly established, and they were tasked with recruiting themselves. They wanted to make a good impression on the president when he came to visit.

Now, after seven years of torment, Cheng Li looks several years older than her peers, and Gu Yuzhi really couldn't connect the person in front of her with the educated youth from Xicun.

Chi Xing slowly flipped through the documents and asked, "Your name is Cheng Li? Which school did you graduate from? What was your major?"

If Cheng Li was surprised when she saw Gu Yuzhi, she was shocked when she saw Chi Xing.

If he remembered correctly, Chi Xing had moved into Gu Yu's house on his own initiative, so what is their relationship now?

Wait, could Gu Yuzhi also like men? Is it Akahoshi?

He looked at Akahoshi's appearance, and everything he wore and wore was of high quality.

Cheng Li was speechless when asked. He had made all of this up. If these two recognized his identity, the false information on his resume would be exposed without any investigation.

Looking at Akahoshi, the man was looking at him mockingly, clearly enjoying his humiliation.

Cheng Li clenched her fist to the side: "Why do you have to humiliate me? Just say you don't want to attract attention."

After saying that, he stormed out in a huff.

Gu Yuzhi looked puzzled: "What happened?"

The interviewers were taken aback by this turn of events and said with forced smiles, "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, perhaps there's something wrong with this person."

"Yes, we didn't expect him to do this either."

Gu Yuzhi: "From now on, we will carefully review resumes. If any falsification is found, none of our subsidiaries will be allowed to hire them."

They continued to bring in other people for interviews, and Gu Yuzhi, always meticulous, eventually selected three from ten.

As they left with Akahoshi, Gu Yuzhi turned to look at him and asked, "Are you happy?"

Akahoshi's lips curled into a smile: "I'm happy to see someone have bad luck."

"You should be more careful when you go out in the future. I'm worried someone might put a sack on you."

He walked to the passenger side, opened the door, and let Akahoshi get in.

Young Master Chi sat comfortably in the passenger seat of President Gu's car, and Gu Yuzhi smiled indulgently as he drove away.

Cheng Li, who was around the corner, was completely unaware of the scene unfolding before his eyes.

The resume in my hand was crumpled and deformed. So that's how it is. They got together at some point.

Cheng Li gritted his teeth, his mind filled with the contemptuous smile Chi Xing gave him. That bitch Chi Xing had indeed set her sights on Gu Yuzhi long ago.

So he made the wrong choice back then. He should have chosen Gu Yuzhi instead of Gu Ye and Liu Yong.

These people are all bad. Gu Yuzhi is blind. What is Chi Xing? He's as thin as a bamboo pole. How could Gu Yuzhi like someone taller than himself?

It was during their time together that Cheng Li, who had preconceived notions about relationships, began to think that Chi Xing was a zero.

In his heart, Gu Yuzhi had always been a gentle and refined second male lead, and he could never be associated with a zero.

Cheng Li should be the protagonist, and he previously thought that the protagonist should be Gu Ye.

But Gu Ye now...

Cheng Li returned home dejectedly, and waited until dark for Gu Ye to return with groceries.

The greens were all yellowed, obviously leftovers from someone else, but Gu Ye thought they were cheap and bought them.

Seeing his unpleasant expression, Gu Ye knew that he had failed the interview again.

Without saying a word, she silently went to the small kitchen to cook.

A boiled vegetable dish and a few steamed buns made from mixed grains constitute their dinner.

Prices in Beijing are high, and Cheng Li spends lavishly on things, so they can only save money on food.

Cheng Li was in a bad mood today, especially seeing Chi Xing being taken care of so tenderly by Gu Yuzhi, while he could only eat coarse food here.

He slammed his chopsticks on the table and said, "It's all the same again. I want to eat meat."

Gu Ye paused, holding the steamed bun. His hands were covered in thick calluses, and his fingers even had tiny scars.

After listening to Cheng Li's words, he silently ate the steamed bun in his hand.

"I'm talking to you, can't you hear me? Can't you stop working like a laborer every day? Why is that all you've got?"

Cheng Li was so angry that he smashed the bowl on the table to the ground, shattering it into pieces, and his words became even more offensive.

They said Gu Ye knew nothing, couldn't read many characters, had no business acumen, couldn't even make money from investments, and deserved to live a miserable life.

He forgot that Gu Ye was originally a man from the village. If he hadn't known that two men could be together, his life would have been peaceful and stable in the village, with a wife, children, and a warm bed.

But ever since meeting Cheng Li, Gu Ye has been like falling into a fire pit, step by step walking into the abyss.

Gu Ye complained that Cheng Li had turned him gay back then, otherwise he should have been living a normal life like Liu Yong.

But he truly loved Cheng Li, and he sacrificed so much for her.

"Enough! You brought this all on yourself, didn't you? You said you had a way to live a good life, so what's your way?"

Gu Ye couldn't hold back any longer and started arguing with him.

This was like a fuse; Cheng Li, enraged, slapped Gu Ye across the face.

Enraged, Gu Ye, who had never been hit before, instinctively retaliated.

Cheng Li was already weaker, and with the added burden of his years in prison, he was slapped so hard that he fell to the ground.

"Ahhh, you dare hit me! Gu Ye, are you even a man?!"

Gu Ye raised his hand and slapped him hard across the face: "You bastard, don't you know I'm a man? You just like being fucked by men, don't you?"

The years of imprisonment and hardship in life had long since left Gu Ye physically and mentally exhausted.

The emotions that had been suppressed for so long suddenly burst forth like a flood. Gu Ye disregarded Cheng Li's feelings and vented his frustrations on him.

After that, Cheng Li was locked in the rented room, and Gu Ye no longer allowed him to go out to look for work.

Chi Xing hadn't expected Gu Ye to have this trait; he had underestimated him.

[As expected, a dog that bites doesn't bark; this time it's completely erupted.]

250: [What kind of pot goes with what kind of lid?]

That's true. Ever since Gu Ye opened the door to this new world, he's been beating up Cheng Li every now and then.

When life gets tough, all Cheng Li does is vent and beat people up, making her wish she were dead.

He was wrong. He was wrong from the very beginning.

But there's no going back in life. Now that the Cheng family is gone, Cheng Li's tragic state will remain undiscovered, and even if it is, no one will come to his rescue.

Akahoshi only occasionally pays attention to the situation here. As long as they don't find an opportunity to make big money, Akahoshi is satisfied.

Gu Yuzhi took Chixing on a trip to the south, and also took the opportunity to develop a new company there.

This trip lasted for half a year.

Chi Xing received news from Cheng Li again: he had been killed by Gu Ye.

The two started arguing again, and Gu Ye accidentally hit his head against the wall, causing him to bleed to death.

Gu Ye was sentenced to death for intentional homicide.

Akahoshi didn't care much about the news; the two of them no longer affected Ayu, so their deaths were no big deal.

Gu Yuzhi took Chixing abroad for a trip.

They spent several years traveling around the world, sometimes with their parents and grandmother.

This time, the whole family went to a certain country, where Chi Xing and Gu Yuzhi got their marriage certificate and held a simple wedding.

Gu Yuzhi looked at the marriage certificate, then hugged Chixing and kissed her in the sunlight.

"We are legal, Star, you will always be mine."

Akahoshi took his hand and kissed the back of his hand: "Ayu, we will be together forever."
