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

"Yang Ke, actually, my daughter's boyfriend is someone she's only known for less than six months."

"As you know, these young people fantasize about campus romances, but I definitely won't agree to my Nan Sun marrying that Zhang Anren."

Jiang Pengfei was grasping at this last straw, so he didn't care whether Jiang Nansun would listen to him or not.

"Uncle Jiang, although I am quite satisfied with Nan Sun's terms, a gentleman does not take what others want, so let's just forget about it."

"If Nan Sun is still single by then and I'm not married, then we can talk. But she has a boyfriend now, so please don't make things difficult for me."

Yang Ke also delivered a righteous and stern remark.

"Alright, alright, Yang Ke, don't worry, Zhang Anren will leave Nansun."

"Don't worry, I'll talk to my Nansun soon, she'll listen to me."

Jiang Pengfei couldn't wait any longer; his creditors only had three days left.

After all, his talent for stock trading is well-known, and he loses money every day.

The creditors were also afraid that if they gave Jiang Pengfei a few more days, they would lose all their money.

Jiang Pengfei was extremely anxious, while on the other side, Jiang Nansun and Zhang Anren also had an argument.

“Zhang Anren, why did you report Wang Yongzheng for changing the paint? Don’t you know that Professor Dong hates me now?”

"He said that Wang Yongzheng and I were both arranged by him to go to the project. I couldn't stop Wang Yongzheng and he even told you about it. He deliberately fabricated Wang Yongzheng's materials to help you stay at the school."

Jiang Nansun was also furious, mainly because Wang Yongzheng had made some sarcastic remarks to her after they met that morning, and she had also been criticized by Professor Dong.

The key point is that she really didn't know about this matter; it was Professor Dong who finally revealed Zhang Anren's report.

He's a professor at the university, is it really that hard to know who did this?

Hearing this, Jiang Nansun naturally felt wronged.

She could understand that Zhang Anren was working hard to stay at the university, but not because of this.

"Nan Sun, listen to me, I'm only doing this so I can stay in Shanghai."

“Your family doesn’t approve of us. If they find out I can’t stay at school, they’ll definitely find fault with me. How can we be together then?”

Zhang Anren also had his own set of explanations.

Some people defend Zhang Anren, saying things like people from small cities do this just to desperately stay in Shanghai, and that Wang Yongzheng is a returnee who gets preferential treatment.

In reality, Wang Yongzheng's casually drawn design sketches are more impressive than those of Zhang Anren, who had been a teaching assistant at the school for several years. He also has connections that allow him to secure projects that bring honor to the school.

What can Zhang Anren do? At most, he can become an ordinary teacher if he stays at the school. It's a difficult choice.

But the truth is that the most reasonable thing is for the capable to rise and the mediocre to fall, so the question of where Zhang Anren got this tactic is not a matter of origin.

Even if they stay, so what? Do you really think professors are just sitting around doing nothing? Especially someone like Professor Dong, who has partnerships with other real estate companies.

I was in a bad mood that day, so I took it out on him, which really showed a lack of tact.

Of course, anyone in Zhang Anren's shoes would probably work hard for such an opportunity to stay at the university, but this is not something he can explain away.

"Fine, I want to be alone. You can leave."

Jiang Nansun was disappointed and didn't want to say anything more to Zhang Anren.

Zhang Anren knew Jiang Nansun's personality, but fortunately, he thought his excuse was quite good. Now that Wang Yongzheng had left the school, he naturally still had a chance to appease Jiang Nansun.

“Brother Anren.”

Just as Zhang Anren was feeling smug about being able to leave the school, he suddenly saw Yuan Yuan standing in front of him, greeting him.

"Yuan Yuan?"

Zhang Anren was also surprised, mainly because he didn't expect to run into Yuan Yuan here.

He was also worried that Jiang Nansun would find out about his relationship with Yuan Yuan, because when he pursued Jiang Nansun, he said that he had never been in a relationship.

In reality, he abandoned his first love, Yuan Yuan, to come to Shanghai, and it's not true that he had never been in a relationship, as he claimed.

"Yuan Yuan, what brings you here..."

Zhang Anren never expected to run into Yuan Yuan at this time.

Thinking about how she had just argued with Jiang Nansun, and how Yuan Yuan's appearance might be the trigger, she became nervous.

“Brother Anren, I came to Shanghai to seek refuge with you, of course.”

Yuan Yuan continued speaking as Yang Ke had instructed.

"Oh, this..."

Zhang Anren was also conflicted. If he let Yuan Yuan leave like this, it would not only seem heartless, but he was also afraid that Yuan Yuan would spread rumors about their relationship.

"How about this, you stay at my place for now, and I'll see if I can find you a job so you can settle in?"

Zhang Anren thought Yuan Yuan was new to Shanghai, so in order to keep her calm, he immediately said he wanted to find her a job.

“Brother Anren, actually I want to get back together with you. I’ve been in Shanghai for a while now and I know you have a girlfriend.”

"But I genuinely like you, and I can work and earn money too."

Yuan Yuan no longer likes Zhang Anren, but for the sake of the house, she can only express her desire to get back together with Zhang Anren based on Yang Ke's words.

"Xiaoyuan, I have a girlfriend now. I'm sorry, I can't accept your offer."

Zhang Anren shook his head and pushed Yuan Yuan's hand away from his.

“Brother Anren, I won’t give up.”

"Your girlfriend is so arrogant, she's not right for you."

Yuan Yuan's words were half true and half false.

She genuinely felt that Jiang Nansun and Zhang Anren were not a good match, mainly because their circumstances were so different, and Jiang Nansun wasn't the type to settle down.

The truth is, she doesn't want to be with Zhang Anren anymore. The main reason is that her recent work experience in Shanghai has taught her that in Shanghai, you need money, a lot of money.

"Yuan Yuan, think it over carefully. We can still be friends, but I have a girlfriend now, so I hope you won't bother me."

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Anren decided to express his opinion to Yuan Yuan.

He is unaware that the Jiang family is going bankrupt, and the Jiang family only has one daughter, Jiang Nansun. As long as he takes down Jiang Nansun...

Grandma Jiang doesn't have many years left. At worst, she can wait until both Grandma Jiang and Jiang Pengfei are old. Then, even if Jiang Pengfei is unwilling to accept him as a son-in-law, he will have no choice but to help him.

Otherwise, how could they watch their daughter suffer?

"Okay, Anren, I won't give up, but I won't bother you either."

Yuan Yuan left with a look of deep affection on her face.

After leaving, she took out a voice recorder from her pocket and then went to where Jiang Nansun was.

"So, Zhang Anren reported Wang Yongzheng, but Professor Dong knew about his report. Now Wang Yongzheng is no longer eligible to stay at the university, and the spot has been given to Zhang Anren. And Professor Dong wants you to leave his team?"

Zhu Suosuo had nothing to do at noon, so she accompanied Jiang Nansun to lunch in the school cafeteria. She frowned as she listened to Jiang Nansun's words.

She's no longer the naive girl who could fool even Master Ma.

After listening to Jiang Nansun's words, Zhu Suosuo also felt that Zhang Anren was being too scheming this time.
