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

Just as Xu Huanshan was having a sweet and intimate meal with his female secretary, Xiao Su, Yang Ke also brought Gu Jia to the hotel where Xu Huanshan was having dinner.

The restaurant he booked was naturally behind Xu Huanshan, several tables away.

But from this distance, if one wanted to, one could naturally see Xu Huanshan.

Yang Ke wouldn't be foolish enough to book the room next door; something too obvious would be counterproductive.

"Mr. Wang."

When Gu Jia arrived at the hotel entrance, she saw Yang Ke getting out of the car and greeted him formally.

To put it bluntly, their situation is something only heaven, earth, you, and I know, so naturally they wouldn't act intimately in public.

Apart from the two of them and Wang Yuting, no one knew why Gu Jia invited Yang Ke to dinner that night, so she naturally wasn't embarrassed at all.

"Okay, let's go, Gu Jia. Let's eat first and then talk about other things. After all, we can't talk business on an empty stomach."

Yang Ke chuckled and said something that Gu Jia understood perfectly.

Gu Jia, who had been greeting him with a smile, became somewhat unnatural upon hearing these words.

Fortunately, since she had taken the initiative to call Yang Ke, she must have thought it through, so she quickly composed herself and followed him inside.

"The restaurant at this hotel is quite nice. Take a look and see if there's anything you like. I'll order a couple more dishes."

Yang Ke didn't specifically bring Gu Jia to Xu Huanshan's presence, but Gu Jia was sitting in a position where she could see Xu Huanshan's face directly, so it was only a matter of time before she discovered him.

"Well then, Mr. Wang, I won't stand on ceremony."

Gu Jia quickly regained her composure, picked up the menu, ordered two dishes, and then handed the menu to Yang Ke.

Just as she handed over the menu, she noticed that the person opposite her seemed to be Xu Huanshan.

This discovery stunned Gu Jia, who thought she had misread it.

Shouldn't Xu Huanshan be at the company at this time?

Thinking of this, Gu Jia also took a closer look. As soon as she did, she was furious.

She knew about the female secretary, Xiao Su. She originally thought that Xu Huanshan had long since broken off contact with her, so she didn't think much of it. But now the two of them are practically crammed together. Does this mean he's given up on the idea?

Thinking about how she had come to see Yang Ke for company business, while Xu Huanshan had packed up early and left work to spend time with his mistress, Gu Jia couldn't help but shed tears.

"What's wrong, Gu Jia?"

Yang Ke naturally pretended not to know anything and asked nervously.

"It's alright, Mr. Wang, I just got some sand in my eye."

"Mr. Wang, can we eat in a room upstairs? I don't really feel like eating in the restaurant right now."

Once Gu Jia understood the situation, she decided to leave with Yang Ke.

Since Xu Huanshan has already done such a thing, Gu Jia has completely given up on him and naturally prefers to ignore him.

Since she's already relying on Yang Ke, she won't be bad off even if they divorce, so why stay with someone who's changed their mind?

"Oh, okay. I'll have the waiter take it upstairs. Let's go."

Yang Ke didn't care. If Gu Jia gave up on Xu Huanshan, then he could do whatever he wanted with her.

"Congratulations, host, for successfully driving a wedge between Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan. Reward: God-level acting skills."

The system suddenly sent a reward.

Not bad. With this, it's much easier to fool people normally. Unlike just now, Yang Ke didn't dare to look at Xu Huanshan, for fear of being exposed.

However, Gu Jia doesn't have that kind of brain. She's mostly clever, but she's actually quite short-sighted in her actions. Otherwise, how could she have been so easily fooled by the wives' group and accepted the tea plantation without even looking at the documents?

Upon arriving at the hotel's presidential suite, Yang Ke didn't rush to do anything; he simply opened a bottle of red wine and sobered up.

"What's wrong, Gu Jia? Was something the matter?"

Yang Ke pretended not to care and continued to bring up what had just happened, just to provoke Gu Jia again.

"It's nothing, I just found out that Xu Huanshan was having dinner with someone behind my back."

Now that Gu Jia has figured things out, she naturally won't hide anything anymore.

"President Xu is still too childish. Gu Jia, it's normal for him to rebel if you keep such a strict control over him."

Yang Ke directly exposed Xu Huanshan's personality.

In the drama, Gu Jia manages Xu Huanshan's eating, drinking, and entertainment. Even people in their 50s or 60s might not be happy about this, let alone Xu Huanshan who is only in his 30s.

Xu Huanshan was diagnosed with moderate fatty liver during a physical examination. Later, Gu Jia, for his health, suggested that they fast together and drink fruit and vegetable juice for dinner, which was actually something he was unwilling to do.

Xu Huanshan felt that Gu Jia was interfering too much, which caused his childish nature to develop a rebellious mentality.

"Gu Jia, is there something you need from me tonight?"

Yang Ke also asked Gu Jia about her purpose for coming.

After all, meeting Xu Huanshan was an "accident," and Gu Jia naturally had other reasons for seeking him out.

"I originally hoped that Mr. Wang would help me become the president of the parents' committee, which would be beneficial to both my son Ziyan and the company."

"But I don't want to anymore. I just want to have a heart-to-heart talk with Mr. Wang."

It just goes to show that when women get ruthless, men have nothing to do with them. Gu Jia is thinking, if Xu Huanshan can do it, why can't I, Gu Jia?

As long as she's willing, the benefits Yang Ke can bring her far surpass those of Xu Huanshan.

In her anger-fueled rage, Gu Jia went straight to Yang Ke, just as she had done in the guest room of the Junyue Mansion that day.

"Congratulations, host, on successfully winning over Gu Jia. Reward: Top-notch design talent."

As their relationship reached its closest point, the system also sent Gu Jia a reward.

It's alright. This talent isn't really useful for Yang Ke right now, but he can still use it in other worlds later.

It wasn't until after 10 p.m. that Yang Ke finished his serious conversation with Gu Jia and they sat on the sofa chatting casually.

"What are your plans next?"

Yang Ke was very curious about what Gu Jia would do next.

In the story, she actually got divorced quite late, and she was also implicated in the explosion at Xu Huanshan's fireworks factory; otherwise, she wouldn't have been left with so little money.

Now that Gu Jia has seen Xu Huanshan's infidelity, it's quite intriguing to see how she will choose Yang Ke.

"Can I live the life of Mrs. Wang?"

Gu Jia didn't say what would happen between her and Xu Huanshan next, but instead asked Yang Ke.

"Are you sure? Then you'll have to wait your turn."

"You know, I lack everything, but I don't lack money."

Yang Ke understood Gu Jia's meaning and didn't mind her having such ambitions, but only if Gu Jia was sensible.

"Of course, I've thought it through since I dared to say that."

Gu Jia directly expressed her determination.

It can only be said that Gu Jia has a unique temperament when she gets ruthless. You know, the two of them had just been talking for more than two hours, and now she wants to continue talking.

"Okay, as long as you perform well, the position of president of the kindergarten's parent committee will be yours tomorrow."

"You should divorce Xu Huanshan as soon as possible. What kind of good life you can live afterward depends entirely on your behavior."

"As for Wang Yuting, that is, Mrs. Wang, I will make sure she gets along well with you."

Yang Ke was unconcerned about Gu Jia's ambition and planned to agree to her request.

After all, Zhong Xiaoqin hadn't had much contact with him, so if he wanted to win her over, he'd have to rely on his good friend Gu Jia to help him out.
