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

At the mansion where Li Ke and Lin Youyou lived, Yang Ke also received a call from Wang Yuting, who mentioned that Gu Jia had come to deliver a cake.

It's quite frustrating, mainly because Gu Jia is too goal-oriented.

Who needs a little cake? Can your homemade cake compare to that of a top chef?

Wang Yuting would deliberately make Gu Jia make cakes for everyone at the party, just to make her understand how big the gap was between them. But she didn't expect Gu Jia to not care about these things at all, and instead always served her.

In the end, Wang Yuting had no choice but to help Gu Jia.

But now, when and how to help depends on Yang Ke's decision.

"Let's stall her for a while first."

Yang Ke didn't refuse, after all, whether Xu Ziyan studied or not was none of his business, the main concern was Xu Huanshan.

"Alright, I've been chatting with Mrs. Yu recently, and I can tell she's quite worried too."

Wang Yuting didn't take Gu Jia's matter to heart. After all, even her company relied on Yang Ke's orders to survive. If the cooperation were to be terminated, she could be easily manipulated.

As for Mrs. Yu, marrying a divorced man with a son, she's not much better off than a mistress, so Wang Yuting doesn't think she's hard to handle.

"Well, I won't be going back to Junyue Mansion for the next few days. If you see a good opportunity, arrange for us to meet."

Yang Ke is also very satisfied with Wang Yuting's progress. He is currently talking to Wang Manni. He can't let his other wives go, since they will either go bankrupt or be disgraced in the end.

"Brother Wang, aren't you having dinner at home tonight?"

After swallowing, Li Ke looked at Yang Ke, who was making a phone call and preparing to wash up before leaving the house, and couldn't help but ask.

"Well, don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Haven't you eaten enough these past two days?"

Yang Ke patted Li Ke's head, signaling her to be sensible.

"Sister Li, really, why are you asking about Brother Wang's schedule? He can go wherever he wants. I bought you a diamond necklace last night and you're still not satisfied?"

Lin Youyou was also quite speechless about Li Ke.

Although Li Ke is older than Lin Youyou, she is less cunning.

Lin Youyou didn't care where Yang Ke wanted to go, as long as he came over one or two days a week and didn't forget about them. Asking too many questions would only annoy Yang Ke and make her uncomfortable.

"I see."

Li Ke has been constantly being manipulated by Lin Youyou lately, but he understands that the other party is more skilled than him, so he listens to advice.

"That's right. Just keep busy and don't talk too much, and I'll reward you."

Yang Ke has a good ear and praised Lin Youyou.

No wonder she was able to control Xu Huanshan, leaving Gu Jia helpless and ultimately forcing her to divorce him.

If it weren't for the fireworks factory incident, Lin Youyou would have achieved a significant upward social mobility, far surpassing Li Ke who was fired after being discovered by Gu Jia.

When Yang Ke arrived at Linda's place, he also asked about Wang Manni.

"She's been really worried lately."

"After all, the appointment and dismissal of the deputy store manager has not been finalized, so Wang Manni doesn't even dare to go to the restroom and just toughs it out."

Linda spoke casually about Wang Manni's recent performance.

The receptionists are actually afraid that a big customer will suddenly come to the restroom, so they usually hold it in.

In the drama, Wang Manni was so exhausted from working long hours that she fainted due to unbearable back pain.

If it weren't for Wang Manni's mother calling her to ask about her recent situation, and Wang Manni fainting from pain before finishing her call, probably no one would have noticed.

"Hmm, I'll think about it."

Yang Ke was thinking about how to get Wang Manni under control as quickly as possible.

He wouldn't wait until Wang Manni was sick to become a devoted admirer and show concern, only to win her heart by swiping his card to pay for her last meal.

"Would you like to be the assistant store manager?"

Yang Ke also asked.

"Really? I can be one?"

Linda was pleasantly surprised to hear this, since this was exactly what she and Wang Manni were vying for.

"Yes, I own shares in the Misia Group, so I can easily arrange for someone to be the assistant store manager of a mere store."

Yang Ke also talked about his shares.

"Of course I'll take it; it's my dream."

Linda also started to act coquettishly.

"What about the reward I mentioned before?"

Yang Ke also had a mischievous grin on his face.

"Brother Wang, but I have to go to work tomorrow, and I won't be able to stand up..."

Linda also looked conflicted.

"Are you crazy? You're about to become the assistant store manager, what's wrong with taking a day off?"

Yang Ke was speechless at Linda's intelligence. If she weren't so obedient, Yang Ke really wouldn't want to deal with her.

"Okay, I'm willing."

Linda thought about it and realized it made sense. Whether or not Yang Ke became the assistant store manager was just a matter of a word from him, so she wouldn't lose her leave if she asked for leave.

On the contrary, it was the disobedient assistant manager who lost her job, so she naturally turned around shakily and showed off her swan-like buttocks.

"Congratulations, host, on unlocking 'Singing Across the River.' You are rewarded with 10% of the shares of Misia Luxury Group."

After Yang Ke chatted with Linda for a while, the system sent a new reward message.

Good grief, they're really going after Misia.

Seeing that it was Misia Group again, Yang Ke didn't bother to complain.

He actually wanted a physical or talent-based reward, but Linda only offered material rewards, which were quite ordinary.

Having promised Linda, Yang Ke naturally wouldn't go back on his word.

He had previously entrusted the shares to the president for holding on his behalf, and now that he owns 20% of the shares, he has a lot of say in the matter.

Because he didn't compete or fight for anything, the head office quickly approved the mere request from a store. Even the store manager that Yang Ke requested would be parachuted into the Misia Luxury Store within half a month.

That's right, Yang Ke certainly wouldn't forget Daisy, so he also mentioned Daisy's situation to the head office.

Linda became the assistant store manager, and Daisy became the store manager.

Goodness, it's a miracle Wang Manni hasn't been driven to the brink of collapse by these two.

You know, Daisy also doesn't really like Wang Manni. She's ambitious but short-sighted, always thinking that good performance is everything, and her overall perspective is really poor.

Daisy later advised her that Liang Haiwang was not a good person, but Wang Manni was also deeply involved and only woke up in the end.

However, none of this concerned Yang Ke; he simply wanted to take Daisy's reward as well.

Wang Manni's grand prize of going on a cruise trip was naturally canceled; he had no intention of competing with Liang Haiwang for a mere gold digger.

"Great! I can be the assistant store manager now! Wow!"

After listening to Yang Ke's phone call, Linda was so excited she wanted to jump up, but she immediately felt excruciating pain and had to obediently rest.

"Alright, what's the rush? The appointment won't arrive for another two days. Just pretend for the next couple of days so Wang Manni doesn't notice anything."

"You've disrupted my plans, so I'll have to deal with you."

Yang Ke patted Linda's peach-shaped buttocks, signaling her not to get too cocky.

"I understand, Brother Wang. I've always been obedient."

Linda also let out a soft moan at this.
