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

After completing the second main quest for the villain, the first quest will be completed soon.

Qiao Weidong is now just one step away from bankruptcy. Once he can no longer find funds and is pursued by the bank for debt, Yang Ke will naturally consider his mission complete.

He wasn't in a hurry. He would wait until he finished the mission before going to find Xiaomeng. He figured that if he said just one word, Xiaomeng would obediently come into his arms. It would be much easier than trying to poach her from someone else's house.

Several more days passed, and on this day, Tong Wenjie nervously arrived at the company.

The reason she was nervous was mainly because she came with the mindset of succeeding.

How to succeed? Naturally, it's by reporting her work to her new boss and letting him see her inner talent.

"Wenjie, I know your abilities, but you're not a newcomer anymore. You naturally understand that sometimes promotions depend on more than just ability. Do you understand that?"

The general manager, seeing Tong Wenjie's attire today, roughly guessed what it meant.

Today, Tong Wenjie is wearing a black long-sleeved top and belted trousers, not the kind of strong woman's suit she used to wear. This adds to her mature and alluring charm.

If she hadn't thought it through, Tong Wenjie would naturally have worn a women's suit, so how could she have dressed so femininely?

However, in order to help Yang Ke, the general manager naturally gave another hint, lest Tong Wenjie fail without being mentally prepared, and he would leave a bad impression on the boss.

"Yes, manager, don't worry, you know my abilities."

Tong Wenjie was too embarrassed to say anything more. Her heart was pounding so hard, like she was going to her execution. She just hoped her boss would appear as soon as possible so she could be executed.

"Go back to work first. When the boss comes, I'll have my secretary call you to the president's office to report on your work."

Seeing Tong Wenjie's expression, the general manager knew that today's outcome was assured, so he told her to go back and prepare properly.

Tong Wenjie returned to her desk, unsure of her feelings, but seeing Jenny casually call several people to a meeting made her no longer hesitate.

This glory should have been hers all along, but it has only been temporarily taken away from her.

Finally, Tong Wenjie met the general manager's secretary.

"Sister Tong, the boss is here at the company. The manager asked me to take you to report on the work."

The general manager's secretary called out "Tong Wenjie" with a serious expression.

If Tong Wenjie hadn't overheard their conversation that day, she would have thought no one knew about it, but now...

What good would knowing do? In order to regain her rightful place, she didn't think about anything else.

It's like she didn't think about anything back then, and as a result, even the position of deputy director was taken by her assistant, Xiao Jin. Now she wants to take back the position that belongs to her.

"Sister Tong, you should go report to your work. The manager needs to see me, so I won't go in."

After the secretary led Tong Wenjie to the president's office, she indicated that she should go and get back to work.

"Okay, thank you for your trouble. I can go in by myself."

Tong Wenjie didn't want her secretary to know what she was planning. Although they both knew, tacit understanding and seeing it in person were two different things.

As soon as she entered, Tong Wenjie saw a somewhat familiar figure, but didn't immediately connect it to Yang Ke, until...

"Xiao Ke?"

Tong Wenjie was surprised.

She never imagined that Yang Ke, whom she often saw at Song Qian's house, was actually the boss of her new company.

"Sister Tong, come, sit down and let's talk."

Yang Ke was not surprised at all. He greeted Tong Wenjie with a smile and gestured for her to sit on the sofa and chat.

"Very surprised?"

Seeing that Tong Wenjie was still in shock, Yang Ke naturally spoke first.

"A little..."

It was more than an accident; Tong Wenjie's previous courage basically vanished after meeting Yang Ke.

There's nothing else to it, mainly because Yang Ke is the same age as her son, which makes her wonder what she's thinking.

"We're all adults, there's nothing we can't talk about, right? You don't need to worry about my status as a student."

"Besides, I need to study, and the company is short of a president to help me manage it. If the general manager is promoted, the manager position will be vacant."

Yang Ke patted Tong Wenjie's thigh and earnestly explained his thoughts.

"I know you, Sister Tong, so I know you're quite capable. But you need to explain the specifics to me in detail. That way, I'll have a better understanding of how to appoint you as general manager, you see..."

Yang Ke's words were gradual and persuasive, which quickly drew Tong Wenjie, who had initially been resistant, to the title of "general manager."

Although the previous general manager had said he might become president and the general manager position would be vacant, Tong Wenjie had only wanted to take back her position as chief financial officer.

This huge surprise left Tong Wenjie in a difficult position, especially considering Yang Ke's other identity.

"It's alright. Since you have other ideas, Sister Tong, go and consider them first."

"Hello, is this the finance department? Could you please call Director Jenny over here?"

Yang Ke calmly boiled water to make tea. Seeing that Tong Wenjie was still hesitating, he added fuel to the fire, intending to call Jenny, who had taken away Tong Wenjie's CFO position.

"I figured it out."

Upon hearing the name Jenny, Tong Wenjie instantly snapped out of her daze and loudly addressed Yang Ke.

There was no way around it; she was just too eager to succeed.

Putting aside her previous failure to get promoted, after being messed with by Xiao Jin for the past two weeks, she has come to understand the fickleness of human relationships, so how could she possibly give up such an opportunity?

Even Yang Ke said she wouldn't reveal their relationship, so who could she tell, since they're divorced anyway?

"That's good. Then please give us your work report, Sister Tong."

After hearing this, Yang Ke smiled, walked to the office door, pressed the lock, sat back on the sofa, and gestured to Tong Wenjie that she could report.

Tong Wenjie had never seen a pig run but had eaten pork, and she quickly and slowly began to report on her work.

It can only be said that Tong Wenjie is indeed lacking an opportunity. In terms of work experience, she is quite good, and she can give a very eloquent report on her work.

"Congratulations, host, on successfully winning over the heroine Tong Wenjie. Reward: quick wit talent."

It's alright. This time the reward is a skill similar to photographic memory, but this is much better than photographic memory.

Having a photographic memory is rather rigid; it allows you to remember a lot of information, but it offers little personal growth.

But quick wit is different; this skill can be described as an all-around improvement.

"System, open my current panel."

Host: Yang Ke.

Physical attributes: Constitution 50, Strength 47, Agility 42.

Secondary attributes: Max Energy, +5 Charm, +3 Talent.

Skills: World-class urban combat skills, quick wit, wall climbing ability, god-level acting skills, top-notch design talent, photographic memory, danger prediction, and god-level medical skills.

Special effects: Approachable and friendly, never loses the aura of Brother Cheng, and the Eye of Truth.

Not bad. In terms of attributes, he is no longer human, but he can still control himself.

"Sister Tong, thank you for your hard work."

Yang Ke looked at Tong Wenjie, who was covered in sweat after reporting on her three hours of work, and asked her a question.

"fine.."

Although Tong Wenjie had gone all out just now, she was still very embarrassed.

"Tong Wenjie, mood: It seems that reporting a few more times won't hurt. Current favorability: 86."

However, Yang Ke saw through her inner thoughts and naturally didn't care about her stubbornness.

After all, she's not some young girl. She might have been embarrassed before because of her pride, but now that things have happened, she's come to terms with it.
