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

"Sis, what should I do..."

Qin Jingru looked at the large table of dishes and didn't know what to do, so she pulled Qin Huairu aside and asked her.

"Just eat. Didn't you see Yang Ke made you stay? It's obvious he's interested in you."

Qin Huairu picked up a piece of braised pork and started eating it without any hesitation.

She understood what Yang Ke meant; he wanted her to come along whenever she wanted.

She had chatted with Yang Ke in the warehouse with You Fengxia before, so she naturally knew what Yang Ke was thinking. But whether Qin Jingru could accept it depended on whether she could seduce her cousin.

"Jingru, eat up. Don't be shy here with your brother Yang."

Yang Ke looked at Qin Jingru, who was still quite naive, and smiled, gesturing for her to eat more.

The group ate in silence, mainly because Yang Ke always had a high standard of food in this courtyard house. Even Qin Huairu didn't want to talk and just kept her head down and ate.

After finishing the meal, which was just an appetizer, Yang Ke led the two to the courtyard of the siheyuan (traditional courtyard house), set up a table, and brought out some fruit and snacks, which immediately made Qin Jingru not want to think about anything.

Seeing Qin Jingru's 95% favorability rating, Yang Ke knew he should have some seafood tonight.

Qin Huairu was both happy and disappointed with Qin Jingru's performance.

I'm glad that Qin Jingru is so naive and hasn't seen much of the world, she probably won't mind if I lend a hand.

The disappointment stemmed from the feeling that Qin Jingru should have been more reserved; otherwise, she might have gotten more benefits.

Around 3 p.m., Yang Ke, seeing that it was about time, naturally called Qin Jingru into his room and had a heart-to-heart talk with her, assuring her that she could stay there without worry.

However, Qin Jingru was quite formidable. In fact, she was rather simple-minded; she gritted her teeth and dragged it out until 5:30, and Qin Huairu almost went home before she begged for mercy.

Yang Ke didn't care whether Qin Huairu had to go back to cook or not, and directly called her into the room.

Qin Jingru was initially confused and didn't know what was going on, but she soon realized why her sister was able to introduce her to such a good potential partner.

Fortunately, Qin Jingru had a good impression of Yang Ke, and with the promises Yang Ke made, she obediently started working as an assistant.

More than 7 o'clock in the evening.

"Animals!"

Qin Huairu patted Yang Ke on the shoulder, then cleaned up the mess and went to cook.

She hadn't eaten yet, so naturally she didn't want to go back like this.

Anyway, she said she was going to ask Yang Ke for food before she left, so Jia Zhangshi would naturally cook for her when she saw that she hadn't gone back.

Qin Huairu quickly found other ingredients, cooked a few dishes, and then went to the room to call Yang Ke and Qin Jingru to get up and eat.

"Then I'm going back."

Qin Huairu looked at the food in the kitchen, saying she was going to leave, but she didn't get up.

"Take 20 catties of flour back with you, and cut a piece of pork. If you give everything to Jia Zhangshi and Banggeng, then there won't be any left."

Yang Ke waved his hand, telling Qin Huairu to go and get it herself.

Qin Jingru, who was happily eating, immediately became unnatural upon hearing this, mainly because all of this was her food.

Although she and her cousin Qin Huairu are now very close, she still felt very sorry for the food when she heard about this.

Fortunately, she didn't say much. After listening, Qin Huairu smiled and went back with a sack.

"Okay, I'll bring some other things over tomorrow, I guarantee you won't have eaten anything like this before."

Yang Ke looked at Qin Jingru, who had returned after closing the door, and offered her a word of comfort.

"Okay, Brother Yang, I'll go boil some water to prepare a foot bath for you."

Qin Jingru laughed immediately after hearing this. Her previous frustration was just that of a poor person suddenly becoming rich. Now that she understood, she naturally knew that as long as Yang Ke was happy, she wouldn't lack for food.

After Qin Jingru went to wash up, Yang Ke received the rewards that Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu had given him.

"Congratulations, host, on successfully winning over Qin Jingru and achieving the goal of uniting cousins ​​as one family. Reward: Enhanced recovery ability."

The system rewards this time are pretty good. Mainly because Qin Jingru has more screen time than He Yushui and You Fengxia, plus the special bonuses, that's why there are such rewards.

In the days that followed, Yang Ke went to work as usual, but when he returned home on the weekend, he mentioned it to Yang Yue. In short, he let others take the lead in some things, and he could occasionally do them a favor.

Yang Ke's ability to spend several months in Hong Kong each year is naturally very easy due to his father's connections. Besides, he handles the procurement very well; he can simply pay extra to buy things himself. How could that not be good?

As the children grew up, Qin Huairu understood why Yang Ke was so generous in providing them with food and clothing. However, Jia Dang and Kui Hua had no father since childhood, so with Yang Ke's deliberate treatment, it was easy for him to manipulate them.

Qin Huairu couldn't refuse, mainly because Yang Ke offered to find Jia Geng a job.

Speaking of the joke, it really got Sha Zhu into a mess.

Sixty-five years later, he remembered every single detail from the story.

Back then, Sha Zhu was not satisfied with the blind date that He Daqing had just returned from. He was single-mindedly trying to please Qin Huairu's children and finally get the Jia family to agree. Naturally, Bang Geng covered for him no matter what he did.

But here's the problem: Yi Zhonghai isn't an old man, and He Daqing is back. Why should he bail out Sha Zhu?

In this situation, Sha Zhu's mistake would indeed be punished.

He lost his job, but luckily a high-ranking leader he knew said something that saved Sha Zhu from being taken away by the security department.

After all, Banggeng stole chickens from Xu Damao's house and went to the factory to ask for ingredients, which Shazhu knew. In order to cover it up, Shazhu said that he bought the chickens. Later, when Yan Bugui exposed him, he said that he stole Xu Damao's chickens.

That's bad enough, but when a neighbor says that Bang Geng stole it and Xu Damao also saw it, the origin of Sha Zhu's half chicken becomes even more complicated.

In reality, that half chicken was brought back by Sha Zhu when he was cooking for the leaders in the factory's small canteen, with the intention of cooking it and sending it to the Jia family.

Nobody cared why, but Sha-zhu was punished for making a mistake, so he lost his job.

Now he and He Daqing go around taking on banquets every day to make a living. Otherwise, what can two grown men do if they lose their jobs?

The incident involving the stick also caught up in people's memories. Not only did the Jia family lose money to Xu Damao, but their reputation also suffered.

When Banggeng came of age, he had no choice but to go to the countryside because the Jia family had no job for him.

Now that complaining is no longer an option, Yang Ke offers to find him a job and bring him back. How can Qin Huairu possibly stop Jia Dang and Kui Hua, who already have designs on Yang Ke?

"Congratulations, host, for completing 15 years of service at Siheyuan Film and Television. The mission reward will now be issued."

"Main quest: Live in a courtyard house for more than 15 years in the film and television industry, take care of more than 5 female leads and supporting actresses, and the reward is an evolution of the space ring into a mid-level blessed land space ring."

"Villain Mission 1: Strike down the three main characters, Sha Zhu, Xu Damao, and Qin Huairu, and be rewarded with the most top-tier talent in the martial arts world."

"Villain Mission Two: Attack the people in the courtyard, reward: a god-level disguise mask."

Not bad, the settlement rewards are amazing.

The first one is a mid-level blessed land ring, which is already at the level of the martial arts world.

Previously, Yang Ke couldn't cultivate internal energy at the beginner level, but now it's different.

The second reward is the most top-tier talent in the martial arts world, which is perfect for Yang Ke to use later.

The third reward can only be described as a villain's artifact.

If it were just a disguise mask, it wouldn't be too exaggerated; many martial arts stories feature masters like that. But the problem is that this god-level disguise mask can completely transform into that person's appearance, including their voice, which is incredibly powerful.
