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

The group didn't chat much in the elevator this time, mainly because Xu Huanshan couldn't stand his wife's smiling face during social gatherings.

Seeing that Xu Huanshan was not happy with him, Yang Ke naturally remained silent.

"Excuse me, Mr. Wang, we'll go in first."

Gu Jia was also very embarrassed, mainly because she didn't want to talk to her husband any further, so she could only quickly take Xu Ziyan out after the elevator arrived.

"Huanshan! Why are you always like this?"

"Mr. Wang didn't do anything to you, did he? I was just being polite to him and you got all sullen. How are we supposed to do business like that?"

“I’ve heard from the homeowners’ group that Mr. Wang owns several amusement parks in Kyoto. If we get business from him, we won’t have to worry about our mortgage payments for the next six months.”

When Gu Jia got home, she couldn't help but talk about Xu Huanshan.

"Honey, I just don't want you to use that tone to be subservient to others. I also have to socialize when I'm doing business."

Hearing Gu Jia say that, Xu Huanshan knew his wife was angry, so he explained in a gentle tone.

At home or at the office, when the two were alone, Xu Huanshan was always kept in check by Gu Jia; otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen for Lin Youyou's sudden affectation later on.

Ultimately, it's because he's been controlled for too long, and he's long harbored a rebellious mentality.

Yang Ke was unaware of what had happened at Gu Jia's home; he was washing up at that moment.

"Honey, you should go out and have more fun. I'm afraid I'll die young."

Wang Yuting's mindset is different from that of ordinary women. She naturally wouldn't keep controlling Yang Ke all the time; instead, she even offered him some advice.

"Haha, you didn't say that a couple of days ago."

Wang Yuting's words were the best catalyst, forcing Yang Ke, who was halfway through washing up, to continue his work.

That's why she said that; anyone would get stuffed if they ate every meal.

Wang Yuting's position at home is unshakeable, and Yang Ke can go out and have fun without spending much money, so what does she have to worry about?

Those so-called mistresses who rise to power are simply wives who lack the necessary skills or whose status is inherently unreliable. Wang Yuting, on the other hand, comes from a well-off family, and her temperament alone is unmatched by the other wives in Junyue Mansion.

"Alright, we'll talk about that later. You should work hard for now and take a break in a couple of days."

Yang Ke was also very satisfied with Wang Yuting's self-awareness, so he didn't need to find any excuses.

It just goes to show that rich people really know how to have a fancy life. With her words, Yang Ke can get Wang Yuting to cooperate in a while, otherwise it will be difficult to get in touch with the other wives.

"Congratulations, host, for completing the extremely difficult achievement 'Madam, you didn't want to either...'. Reward: a spatial ring."

Not long after Yang Ke and Wang Yuting finished discussing this topic, the system sent out a reward.

The conversation between the two unexpectedly triggered an extremely difficult reward, something Yang Ke hadn't anticipated.

"A spatial ring, from an old NPC. Let me see how big it is first..."

Following the system's instructions, Yang Ke performed a blood oath ceremony and then began to examine the process.

This spatial ring is quite large, about the size of a football field, approximately 7000 square meters, and it is also very tall.

Yang Ke can transfer items using his thoughts, which is very convenient.

The next day, Yang Ke also made a call to the manager of the amusement park in Kyoto, his purpose being to find Lin Youyou, the green tea girl who had just graduated.

"Yes, Mr. Wang, I will arrange it. Don't worry."

When the amusement park manager received a call from the chairman and heard that the job required a recent female graduate, he immediately understood what was going on and promised to handle the matter properly.

As for the arrangements, she was naturally transferred to Yang Ke's company as a secretary.

Is Lin Youyou willing or not?

Just kidding. If Yang Ke didn't know her personality, he might have to put in some effort. But since he knows what kind of person she is, he might as well just throw money at her.

His appearance is no worse than Xu Huanshan's, and his money is far superior. There's no reason why Lin Youyou wouldn't be tempted.

Two hours later, the amusement park manager called to say that Lin Youyou was willing to work in Shanghai and could go there the next day, and asked Yang Ke how to arrange things.

"Let her come over; I'll arrange for someone to pick her up."

Yang Ke didn't care much about this matter. Lin Youyou was just a nobody, and he could easily control her.

He wasn't idle either. After finding Lin Youyou, he set his sights on Li Ke from Xu Huanshan's company.

The events in the drama are about to happen in less than half a month, so of course he won't let Li Ke have too much contact with Xu Huanshan, so he needs to contact him as soon as possible.

"Mrs. Xu, are you and Mr. Xu at the company? I'm free today and would like to visit."

Yang Ke also took Gu Jia's business card and called her.

"Yes, Mr. Wang. When would you like to arrive at the company? I'd like to bring my husband to greet you in advance."

Gu Jia was surprised that Yang Ke was coming to visit her fireworks company that afternoon, but she was very respectful and prepared to receive him.

After all, their company had recently been harassed by President Wan and a few others. If they could get business from Yang Ke, they wouldn't have to deal with the increasingly difficult President Wan.

"No need, no need. You can have someone to take care of me. I just had nothing to do today and was thinking of looking at fireworks designs. After all, I work in the jewelry industry, and inspiration is important to me."

"Then it's settled. I'll come to your company for a visit at 3:30 this afternoon."

Yang Ke exchanged a few polite words and then agreed on a time to go in the afternoon.

"I'll deal with Li Ke today, and Lin Youyou tomorrow. I'm really trying too hard..."

Yang Ke couldn't help but smile as he thought about his schedule.

At 3 p.m., Yang Ke got into the driver's car and headed to Gu Jia's fireworks company. He was supposed to arrive at 3:30 p.m., but he didn't get there until almost 4 p.m.

It was clear that Xu Huanshan's feelings were somewhat complicated. He hesitated when Yang Ke got out of the car, but was eventually pulled over by Gu Jia.

His complicated situation stems from the recent poor performance of the company, and Yang Ke is arguably the best lifeline they can find.

Yang Ke arrived half an hour late for their first meeting, and it wasn't even a proper collaboration agreement. How could Xu Huanshan, who was already proud and arrogant, be happy about that?

Gu Jia didn't care about any of that. The company was about to lose business, so what did she care about saving face? She grabbed Xu Huanshan and dragged him to Yang Ke.

"Mr. Wang, welcome, welcome."

Gu Jia, along with Xu Huanshan, greeted Yang Ke.

"Sorry, I was delayed on the way."

Yang Ke also gave a polite reply.

"No, traffic congestion in Shanghai is indeed normal."

Gu Jia waved her hand, not daring to blame him, and Xu Huanshan's expression softened somewhat after hearing this polite remark.

Regardless, the fact that they offered an explanation shows they weren't arrogant.

After exchanging a few words, Yang Ke also saw Li Ke and the others waiting next to the company's front desk, which was probably arranged by Gu Jia for the sake of grandeur.
