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

"Mrs. Xu, I also have a suggestion, I don't know if you would like to hear it."

Seeing that Gu Jia was already speaking incoherently, Yang Ke interrupted her to stop talking.

"For example, none of my amusement parks will cooperate with Mrs. Xu. I think you'll have to clear out your stock at low prices then."

Yang Ke also said with a smile that concealed a dagger.

"I don't know what Mrs. Xu is thinking. I've helped your Xu family time and time again, but you're being taken advantage of by me."

"In that case, I'll just switch to another company to work with."

Shaking his head, Yang Ke prepared to end the conversation with a look of disappointment.

Of course, he did this simply to give Gu Jia some buffer time.

"Mr. Wang, I'm so sorry, Mr. Wang. I was a bit flustered today and sought medical help haphazardly. I'm so sorry..."

Gu Jia was stunned when she heard this.

She originally thought that, given the relationship between the two companies, she could plead with Yang Ke to sign the contract in advance with 80% of the payment, so that at least the company wouldn't have any problems. But she didn't expect it to backfire.

Now Yang Ke has not only refused to sign the contract ahead of schedule, but he even wants to renege on his previous verbal agreement, which makes Gu Jia a little scared.

Fireworks orders for these amusement parks are usually placed quarterly. If someone takes them this time, it won't be easy to get them back later.

"Mrs. Xu, let's go back."

Seeing that Gu Jia was scared, Yang Ke waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to continue the conversation.

"Mr. Wang, please, I was wrong."

“I shouldn’t have been so greedy. Let’s wait until next quarter to sign the contract. We’ll pay 80% of the price we agreed on before. We’ll design the latest fireworks that will definitely satisfy your amusement park.”

In a panic, Gu Jia also sat down on the ground, but still pleaded with Yang Ke.

"Mrs. Xu, isn't it a bit late for you to say this now? You should look for other partners to cooperate with. I can't afford to work with you."

Yang Ke was very disappointed to see that Gu Jia still didn't understand what she had done wrong.

"Mr. Wang, I made a mistake. You can decide how to punish me, but please don't make fun of the orders for next quarter."

Gu Jia also felt that she was incredibly stupid to say what she did just now, and she didn't know what to do. She could only hope that Yang Ke could come up with a solution.

"There is a solution, but I'm afraid you won't be happy with it, Mrs. Xu."

Seeing that Gu Jia was completely disoriented, Yang Ke finally decided to reveal his true purpose.

"President Wang, please speak."

Hearing this tone, Gu Jia understood somewhat, but still asked tremblingly, hoping to give up hope.

"Of course it's you, Mrs. Xu..."

Yang Ke walked up to Gu Jia and whispered his request in her ear.

"Mrs. Xu, think it over carefully. As long as you agree, this quarter's orders will be at the price we agreed on before."

"Otherwise, I'll just have to make fun of the order. After all, it's no problem for me to help you once or twice, but now it's not just twice, so you naturally have to give something in return."

"Mr. Wang, I..."

Gu Jia bit her lip, unsure how to answer.

If Yang Ke truly wanted her, she would have left immediately. But now he's only asking her to talk about it, which makes her feel uncertain and anxious.

"Mrs. Xu, have you made up your mind?"

"You should know that I'm not doing anything to you in any other way. It's just talk, so what's the harm to you?"

“I can’t possibly tell anyone, right? It’s not like nobody knows about your husband’s affairs. He can make mistakes, so what does it matter if you make a mistake for the sake of this family?”

Yang Ke also urged him on, especially with his last sentence, which was a real blow.

"To put it bluntly, Mrs. Xu, there's no harm in you being friends with me. Whether it's your son's future studies or his company, wouldn't it be better to have my help?"

"Besides, my request shouldn't have crossed your bottom line, Mrs. Xu, right? Think it over carefully. If you're not willing, Mrs. Xu can leave at any time."

Seeing that Gu Jia's expression was no longer as conflicted as before, Yang Ke also brought up the matter of Xu Ziyan.

"Okay, I hope Mr. Wang will keep his promise and not tell anyone about this."

Gu Jia was also angered by Xu Huanshan's actions, but having just moved to Junyue Mansion, how could she bear to sell the house and leave in such a disgraceful manner?

“Alright, Mrs. Xu, please come to the room over there.”

Yang Ke felt very satisfied when he saw that Gu Jia had actually agreed.

We've been making a lot of arrangements for her lately, and now the flowers are finally blooming. Well, it seems like it's not quite time to pick them yet, but it won't be long.

Gu Jia didn't say much after hearing this, and just obediently followed behind Yang Ke.

One hour later...

"Mmm, mmm..."

Gu Jia turned her head to look for something, wanting to say something but not knowing how to start.

"That's the restroom."

Yang Ke snapped out of his daze and pointed out the location of the restroom to Gu Jia.

"Congratulations, host, on becoming a father! Reward: Eye of True Sight."

The system immediately sent out a reward.

Not bad, with this he can at least know the true situation of some people.

Fifteen minutes later, Gu Jia also came out and stood quietly in front of Yang Ke.

Leaving is out of the question. We've already sacrificed a lot today. We can't just leave without discussing anything; that would be foolish.

Even getting Gu Jia to speak up was something she couldn't do; after all, although it was a transaction between them, saying it out loud would change things.

"Come on, Gu Jia, sit down and let's talk."

Yang Ke patted the sofa next to him, gesturing for Gu Jia to sit down.

At the same time, he activated his True Sight to see what was going on with Gu Jia.

"Gu Jia, Emotion: at a loss, Current Favorability: 70"

It's alright. It's normal to feel overwhelmed, but I don't have much of a liking for her.

I was his dad for an hour, how come I only got 70 points of favorability? Gu Jia is so heartless.

Well, fortunately, Yang Ke is a magnanimous person and didn't delve into this issue.

"Go back and get some rest. I'll take care of things. I'll arrange for someone to go to your company to sign the contract next quarter."

"The reason it wasn't recently is so that you could properly test your husband, lest he become arrogant and haughty every day. Isn't that what you spoiled him with?"

“When I delivered business to you, his attitude wasn’t much better.”

"As for the rest, we'll talk about it later. It's not that I'm being heartless, but if I give too much now, your husband will be suspicious, right?"

Yang Ke patted Gu Jia's hand and said a few words to her.

"kindness."

Gu Jia agreed that it made sense after hearing it.

She was indeed too impatient before, always thinking about getting business right away, and in the end she even lost money.

Now she also wants Xu Huanshan to work hard. Does the company really not work without her?

"Okay, go back and get some rest. Your makeup is ruined."

Yang Ke also made a joke when Gu Jia got up.

Upon hearing this, Gu Jia almost lost her balance while walking.

After all, the two of them knew very well how their makeup had been ruined, and Gu Jia still found it hard to recall what had just happened.
