Villains in Film and Television: Starting with Yang Ke in "The Golden Age"

"Wenjie, are you alright?"

When Song Qian saw Tong Wenjie carrying so many bags, she immediately became concerned.

"It's okay, I'm going to divorce Fang Yuan."

“His parents owe 180 million yuan. They have no money and can only sell the house to pay off the debt. But where will we live after we sell the house?”

"My career was already going badly, and he didn't even talk to me properly. He wanted to sell the house to pay off his parents' debts without consulting me. His parents even blamed me for Fang Yuan being laid off. I..."

Tong Wenjie was already feeling wronged, so she naturally started to cry when she saw Song Qian.

"Okay, okay, it's alright, let's go inside and talk."

Seeing Yang Ke and Qiao Yingzi pretending to eavesdrop, Song Qian was afraid her best friend would be embarrassed, so she quickly pulled her into the room and comforted her.

Speaking of which, Song Qian was also annoyed. She thought Tong Wenjie was going home, but she didn't expect her to come back.

She hasn't seen her boyfriend for the past few days, so she hasn't had time to think about her best friend.

But now that Tong Wenjie is getting a divorce, she has no choice but to take care of her best friend's feelings first.

Tong Wenjie knew Yang Ke. If it weren't for her recent work troubles, she would have agreed to Fang Yifan's suggestion to rent Shuxiang Yayuan.

The main reason was that she learned from Fang Yifan and Lin Leier that Yang Ke's grades were very impressive.

If they could live in Shuxiang Yayuan, and have Fang Yifan and Lin Leier come to Song Qian's house to study regularly, their grades would definitely improve.

But Tong Wenjie's family is currently in debt. If they rent Shuxiang Yayuan, they'll be living off their savings, which would amount to over 10 yuan a year.

Even if their family didn't owe that 1.8 million, they wouldn't dare to spend it all on rent, mainly because Tong Wenjie's monthly salary is only a little over 10,000, and they can't possibly spend it all on rent.

Moreover, Shuxiang Yayuan is too small, most of the apartments are two-bedroom units, so it's very cramped for their family to live there.

If Tong Wenjie sold her original house, she would definitely rent a small single room near the company, and have Fang Yuan rent a place elsewhere. That way, it would cost less than 6000, which would be quite good.

That night.

"Xiao Ke, I need to go home early tonight. You still have class, so I won't stay any longer."

Song Qian ran to Yang Ke's place around 1 a.m., but worried that Tong Wenjie would find out in the middle of the night, so she agreed to go back early.

"Well, but what I said before..."

Yang Ke and Song Qian were already very close, and Song Qian understood him without him having to explain.

"Damn it, I really don't know how you can get such good grades with all that spending every day."

Song Qian rolled her eyes at Yang Ke, but her mind was on her lover, so she naturally wouldn't refuse his request. She was just curious about how Yang Ke had improved his grades.

"Do you think I'm like you, constantly watching Yingzi? That only puts pressure on her."

"Learn from me, and your grades will be much better when you relax. If you really care about Yingzi, don't talk to her about her studies. Didn't you see that Yingzi's score went up a few points on her test this week?"

Yang Ke didn't want to have to take care of Yingzi later, so he naturally tried to persuade Song Qian.

"Does it really work?"

"I'm doing this for Yingzi's own good. Alright, alright, your example is right here. Just study with Yingzi more often, and I won't interfere too much."

If it were just Yingzi, Song Qian would definitely continue to take care of her.

Since Yang Ke was studying with Yingzi, she naturally couldn't say that she had too many young lovers, so she let Yang Ke tutor Yingzi.

Now that her grades are good, she naturally won't interfere too much.

As for Qiao Weidong, he's been in a lot of trouble lately and has even seen Yingzi less often.

Since Song Qian hasn't put any pressure on Qiao Yingzi lately, Qiao Yingzi hasn't sought comfort from her father.

Speaking of Qiao Weidong, don't be fooled by the fact that he seems to be a big boss with assets of over 100 million yuan.

It's unclear whether Xiaomeng is truly attracted to Qiao Weidong as a person or just after his money; only Xiaomeng herself knows the answer. Qiao Weidong says his wealth came from various investments, and since investments always carry risks, there will be both gains and losses.

This time, Qiao Weidong misjudged the scale of the investment, leading to its failure. Now, he not only lacks sufficient working capital, but also has many loopholes to plug.

It wasn't supposed to be this fast, but Yang Ke got involved.

With his large amount of capital squeezed, it's not unreasonable for a small business owner like Qiao Weidong, who relies on investing in villas and real estate, to lose more than half of his assets with just one setback. This is also the main reason why he hasn't contacted Qiao Yingzi recently.

As for how he lost money, it's because Yang Ke found a company that partnered with Qiao Weidong and bought half of the ownership of the villa that Qiao Weidong had invested in.

After buying it, he kept quiet and continued to have Qiao Weidong advance the funds. In the end, Yang Ke lost half of the villa and refused to continue development. With the cash flow broken, Qiao Weidong naturally had no choice but to cut his losses and leave.

However, most of his money was originally borrowed. He not only failed to make a profit but also suffered losses, so he naturally couldn't fill the gap in other areas, resulting in a situation where he not only failed to invest but also incurred debt.

However, these are still in progress and have not yet reached the final stage, but it is basically certain that Qiao Weidong will eventually become a debtor, just like in the plot.

Yang Ke just doesn't have time to look for Xiao Meng right now. Otherwise, if she knew about Qiao Weidong's situation, she would probably have him under her thumb with a flick of her wrist.

The next evening, when Yang Ke went to Song Qian's house to do practice problems with Qiao Yingzi, Tong Wenjie returned with her divorce papers.

Yes, she's made up her mind. She plans to see how things go when she meets with her boss this weekend.

Since I'm already divorced, it doesn't count.

Besides, this whole thing was caused by Fang Yuan and his parents. She doesn't think she did anything wrong, and she can rebuild her career after the divorce.

She felt at ease leaving Fang Yifan and Lin Leier in Fang Yuan's care. After all, while Fang Yuan might not be reliable in other areas, taking care of two children was something he had always done, though it might be a bit troublesome in terms of their studies.

Although Tong Wenjie said that they should split the money from the house sale, she left the family savings to Fang Yuan so that he could take good care of the two children.

Renting a house, plus tutoring and food expenses, would cost at least 150,000 yuan a year. If Fang Yuan didn't leave any money, Tong Wenjie's house, located in the north of Kyoto, would be about 180 square meters, with a unit price of 60,000 yuan per square meter, and a total estimated value of 10 million yuan.

After deducting the mortgage, less than 5 million yuan is left. If each person splits the money in half, Fang Yuan will pay off his parents' money and there won't be much left. This is why Tong Wenjie didn't touch the savings.

Receiving over 200 million yuan didn't affect her much. After all, it wasn't realistic to buy back the same house as before with that money; it would depend on her job prospects.

At this time, she still cared about Fang Yifan, so she worked hard just to get promoted as soon as possible. Only when her salary was higher could she buy a new house. Otherwise, Fang Yifan would have nowhere to live if he wanted to be with her in the future.

"Congratulations, host, on successfully completing the second villainous main quest: make Fang Yuan experience the double blow of divorce and unemployment. Reward: world-class urban fighting skills."

It's alright. After Tong Wenjie got divorced, Yang Ke naturally completed his villainous role and received the main storyline reward.

This urban world-class fighting technique is quite interesting, meaning that he might go to a non-urban world in the future, but that's a matter for the future. Right now, Yang Ke is more concerned about Tong Wenjie's plans.
