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

"Is there something Mrs. Xu needs our help with?"

Yang Ke asked directly as well.

"Um, that..."

Gu Jia hesitated, mainly because she was afraid that if she spoke directly, it would seem too calculating.

"Mrs. Xu, there's no need to be embarrassed. Your behavior is telling me very clearly that you need help."

"That's why I asked this question, just to see what kind of help it is. If it's a small matter, I'll definitely help if I can, but if it's a big matter, then I'm afraid I can't help."

Yang Ke noticed Gu Jia's embarrassment and immediately came to her rescue.

Helping once is fine, helping twice is also acceptable.

But when Gu Jia asks him for help multiple times, how can Gu Jia refuse when he asks for her help?

"Mr. Wang, here's what happened."

"My son, Xu Ziyan, failed his kindergarten interview. I learned that you are an honorary director of the kindergarten, so I would like to ask you to put in a good word for me and see if we can get Ziyan into the kindergarten."

Gu Jia also confessed that she wanted to ask for help.

After all, they've already seen through it; if you keep trying to cover it up, there's nothing left to discuss.

"I see. Did my wife say anything?"

Yang Ke nodded after listening, indicating that he understood what was going on, but he also wanted to know what Wang Yuting had to say.

"Mrs. Wang, I've only mentioned it once, but it's kindergarten enrollment time right now. She told me to wait a couple more days and ask you again when you get back, Mr. Wang."

Gu Jia also relayed Wang Yuting's explanation.

"That's true. I handled these things before. Yuting just wanted a spot, so she still had to come to me to get it."

"Okay, I'll go there this afternoon, and if all goes well, I should be able to get you a spot tonight."

Yang Ke did not refuse, saying he would deal with the matter in the afternoon.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Wang. You're very grateful."

Gu Jia has been so troubled by Xu Ziyan's schooling that she hasn't been able to sleep well lately. When Yang Ke came back and heard about it, he immediately offered to help solve the problem, and Gu Jia couldn't help but feel grateful.

"We're all neighbors, no need to be so polite."

Yang Ke smiled and waved his hand.

They are indeed neighbors, but Yang Ke just wants to be the neighbor.

"Alright, Mrs. Xu, you go ahead and have your meal. I'm going to take a nap. I'll call you this afternoon if I get a spot."

Seeing that the time was right, Yang Ke signaled to Gu Jia that it was time to go to the dinner party.

He was too lazy to chat with the ladies, so he simply went back to his room to sleep.

"Okay, Mr. Wang, I'm sorry to disturb your rest. I'll go down now."

Gu Jia immediately apologized after hearing this and then went downstairs.

After all, it's only a little past 2 p.m., and there's still a long time before we get to kindergarten.

If Gu Jia's afternoon nap was disturbed and Yang Ke didn't go to handle Xu Ziyan's school enrollment, she would be devastated.

Yang Ke rested for a while, and walked out of the room a little after 4 p.m. There were no more wives outside, they probably went out for a stroll again.

To put it bluntly, they're just bored and have nothing to do unless they're competing with each other and trying to provoke each other.

Yang Ke kept his word and took a car to the kindergarten, where he spoke to the principal about Xu Ziyan's enrollment.

Yang Ke owns shares in most of these kindergartens, though not many. But as an honorary director, getting a place for enrollment is naturally a piece of cake for him.

"Mrs. Xu, the enrollment quota has been taken care of. You just need to take your son, Xu Ziyan, to the kindergarten tomorrow to register his information."

Yang Ke also made a phone call to Gu Jia from the car to tell her about it.

"Don't bother treating me to dinner, I've been busy with social engagements lately, maybe next time."

"Yeah, it's okay, we're all neighbors."

Every time Yang Ke talks about his neighbors, he thinks of himself and his name is Lao Wang, and he almost can't help but laugh.

After talking with Gu Jia, Yang Ke also came over to Li Ke and Lin Youyou.

The two have been really letting loose lately, spending their days eating, drinking, and having fun together.

But as they spent the money, it all ran out, and the two had no choice but to obediently call Yang Ke and confess what had happened.

Fortunately, the two were sensible and sent some photos before calling Yang Ke over.

"Money doesn't matter, but the sea of ​​knowledge is boundless, so you should learn more useful knowledge so that I will come more often."

Yang Ke didn't mind the two of them using some little tricks, so he offered a few words of encouragement.

"Understood, Brother Wang."

Since Yang Ke had come, the two of them naturally obediently indicated that they were very compliant.

Three hours later, seeing how exhausted the two were, Yang Ke went straight home.

It seems that Wang Yuting and Mrs. Yu have made progress together, so he needs to go back and check on them.

After returning home, Wang Yuting also talked about what she had talked about with Mrs. Yu that afternoon.

"She herself understands this, but she is powerless to change it, so she tries to win over her stepson."

Yang Ke also started to think about it.

He was considering whether to have Wang Yuting confront Mrs. Yu directly, or to find an opportunity himself.

The main concern was that Wang Yuting's words might put Mrs. Yu on guard, making it difficult to find another opportunity.

"I think she's rather indecisive; she depends on the circumstances."

“After all, even if they have a bad relationship with their stepson, they still get a lot of living expenses every month, so there’s no need for them to risk changing their lifestyle.”

Wang Yuting also shared her opinion.

"Never mind, let's wait and see."

Yang Ke tapped his fingers on the table and finally voiced his thoughts.

He didn't want his reputation as "Old Wang" to spread too early, otherwise it would be difficult to handle Zhong Xiaoqin and Gu Jia.

The female lead is definitely the most important person. The wives and other supporting actresses are dispensable; we'll see how things go when the opportunity arises.

"Okay, I'll let you know if anything changes in the others. Take a break."

Wang Yuting didn't say much when she heard Yang Ke's decision, she just blinked to indicate that Yang Ke should rest.

The next day, Gu Jia successfully registered her son Xu Ziyan.

After returning home, Gu Jia started thinking about how to treat Yang Ke and Wang Yuting to a meal to express her gratitude, so she mentioned it to Xu Huanshan.

"Honey, you decide this yourself. You know how busy I've been at work lately."

Xu Huanshan continued working, typing on his keyboard without turning his head.

Since his falling out with President Wan, Xu Huanshan thought the company's business was in big trouble. Unexpectedly, he met a big boss while drinking because he was in a bad mood.

They run an amusement park in a third-tier city, and they just happen to need a batch of fireworks.

Since this type of fireworks design was unfamiliar to people in small towns, they ordered a batch from Xu Huanshan, with whom they had a pleasant conversation. Xu Huanshan is currently busy designing them.

"Honey, is this new boss you've met reliable?"

Gu Jia saw that Xu Huanshan was busy with something, but she still couldn't help but ask.

After all, their family bought the house with a loan, so if the company runs into trouble, it would be a serious matter.

"Don't worry, they've already paid the deposit, and they said they'd like to order six months' worth of fireworks if the quality is good."

Xu Huanshan waved his hand, ignoring Gu Jia.

In his view, Gu Jia thought he was only good at design and not at business, which made Xu Huanshan even more eager to prove himself.

In fact, the boss he knew was a veteran actor, someone Yang Ke specifically found through Boss Wan.

Once the batch of fireworks designed by Xu Huanshan was produced, the boss ran away.

If that's all, it's not a big deal; at most, we'll lose some money on fireworks.

The key point is that Yang Ke arranged a honey trap for Xu Huanshan, intending to use this opportunity to make Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan fall out.
