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

Yang Ke quickly drove Fan Shengmei to the bar she mentioned.

The environment is so-so, and the bar isn't very big.

The good thing is that there aren't many people here, and there are private rooms. It was brought here by a friend that Fan Shengmei knew before.

She came here mainly because she was familiar with the area; otherwise, it would be easy for her to be exposed as a gold digger who didn't know anything about it if she went to other places.

In the original drama, she also met Qu Xiaoxiao, who had invited her before, at a bar. However, Fan Shengmei was arrogant at the time, and she didn't listen to anything Qu Xiaoxiao kindly said to her.

Even if she's dressed in counterfeit clothes, she refuses to lower herself to accompany someone for drinks, so it's no wonder Qu Xiaoxiao looks down on her.

Are there no young and pretty girls in bars? Why would the bar owner need to find someone like her who is looking to get married when he goes out to have fun?

It's understandable that Fan Shengmei was tricked because she couldn't even see through the charade.

"Brother Yang, is this place alright?"

Fan Shengmei didn't know what kind of bars Yang Ke usually went to, and she was afraid he would laugh at her.

"Xiaomei, I'm here today to have a drink with you to cheer you up. That's all you need to think about."

Yang Ke really didn't care.

He came today only to give Fan Shengmei an excuse; as for what happens next, that's up to him.

Why would Yang Ke care about a woman that Qu Lianjie would give away for free?

Although he often takes care of girls, they are all girls he would take in, and Fan Shengmei is clearly not that kind of girl.

"Thank you, Brother Yang."

Fan Shengmei didn't mind being called Xiaomei, and happily called Yang Ke "Brother Yang" before calling the waiter over to order drinks.

Yang Ke didn't rush to pay the bill, mainly because Fan Shengmei immediately scanned the code to pay, leaving him no time to do so.

Since it wasn't much money, Yang Ke didn't care.

Well, that's why Fan Shengmei came to this bar. The prices here aren't too high. Otherwise, in those big bars, a single booth would cost several thousand yuan, and a few drinks would easily bring the bill to 20,000 yuan, which she simply couldn't afford.

The 3888 yuan for this private room was money she barely scraped together by swiping her card, all for the purpose of hooking up with Yang Ke.

Yang Ke didn't care about Fan Shengmei's stubbornness; if she wanted to pay, she could.

In reality, Fan Shengmei's idea was simply to prevent Yang Ke from knowing that she was there for Yang Ke's money, but it was actually too deliberate.

This behavior is indeed quite clownish in the eyes of wealthy people, not to mention her several outrageous actions towards Wang Baichuan, which are even more astonishing.

You can be obsequious to the rich, and even a simple dress can be given away for free.

Wang Baichuan doted on her, even though he knew Fan Shengmei was just a gigolo renting an apartment, but everyone still treated her like a goddess.

However, after being exposed by Qu Xiaoxiao, Fan Shengmei turned around and mocked Wang Baichuan for being incompetent. Who could have a good impression of her after watching the show?

"Brother Yang, cheers!"

Fan Shengmei was determined to get Yang Ke drunk today, so naturally there was nothing to talk about but drinking!

"Alright, let's drown our sorrows in alcohol. I'll keep you company today."

Yang Ke also raised his glass and started drinking with Fan Shengmei.

The two also talked a lot about work. When Fan Shengmei learned that Yang Ke's design orders were worth millions of US dollars, her eyes lit up.

Fan Shengmei thought to herself that it was only because Yang Ge had just returned to China that no one had discovered him yet; otherwise, such a eligible bachelor would never have been hers. So she made a lot more moves.

After all, she thought she was quite charming, and Yang Ke was nothing to her; as long as she was willing to give him some benefits, he would be easy to win over.

"Xiaomei, you've had too much to drink, why don't you take a break?"

After the two had been drinking for an hour, Yang Ke saw that Fan Shengmei's actions were getting more and more exaggerated and knew that the time was about right. So, relying on his superb acting skills, he pretended to be drunk and said to Fan Shengmei.

"It's alright, Brother Yang. Didn't we agree to drink until we drop? I trust you, what are you afraid of?"

Fan Shengmei used a goading tactic.

"Well, okay then, I guess I'll just have to drink one more bottle."

Yang Ke pretended to be drunk, which made Fan Shengmei even more excited.

Yang Ke was actually quite sober, but Fan Shengmei wouldn't have a chance if she didn't get drunk, so after finishing the drink, he pretended to be drunk.

"Brother Yang?"

Fan Shengmei nudged Yang Ke, wondering if he had passed out drunk.

"Brother Yang, if you're drunk, I'll take you to a nearby hotel for the night, otherwise I don't have your key."

Fan Shengmei continued to probe.

Seeing that Yang Ke had really passed out, Fan Shengmei quickly took a hangover pill. After all, she had spent so much time preparing for the night, and she couldn't very well pass out at the last minute.

And so, Fan Shengmei helped the drunk Yang Ke all the way to a nearby four-star hotel and gritted her teeth to book a luxury private room.

Normally, Fan Shengmei would consider 400 or 500 yuan a lot to be expensive, especially considering the accommodation conditions during business trips.

But tonight she was going to win over Yang Ke, so she couldn't just stay in a regular small room. So she gritted her teeth and spent 1488 yuan to book a deluxe private room.

"I'm exhausted, but thankfully I'm only one step away from success. Hang in there!"

Fan Shengmei cheered herself up, put Yang Ke on the bed, and then changed his clothes that were in the way.

Wow, this...

After seeing Yang Ke's true colors, Fan Shengmei couldn't help but bite her lip.

After washing up and waking up, Fan Shengmei began her journey of giving away her freedom.

"Congratulations, host, for tricking the female lead Fan Shengmei into giving herself away for free. Reward: Strength attribute +5, cash 10 billion."

It's alright. After all, she's one of the female leads in Ode to Joy. This power reward is pretty good. The main thing is that her physical talent is permanent, and it also boosts other attributes.

As for cash, it's optional. Yang Ke has tens of millions in assets and isn't short of money, but having money is always a good thing these days.

"My back is so sore, this is amazing!"

"Is this the power of a highly eligible bachelor?"

After finishing her work, Fan Shengmei was about to get up when she realized her back was numb and couldn't help but mutter a complaint to herself.

"No, why is it still like this? Does he just eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist prayers every day?!"

Fan Shengmei had just taken a shower and returned home. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but feel a pang of resentment.

Is it because I'm not doing a good enough job?

But after checking the timeline, two hours had passed since the two entered the hotel room, and for the first time, Fan Shengmei felt that she was no longer young.

"No, I still need to put in more effort so that Yang Ke can see my hard work."

Fan Shengmei didn't want Yang Ke to wake up the next day full of energy; that would make her seem incompetent.

Fortunately, Fan Shengmei is also very talented. At her age, she is already quite skilled, so she started working hard again.

Around 2 a.m., when Fan Shengmei felt her neck was about to break, she had just looked up to rest when... This caught her completely off guard.

"Xiaomei? What's going on?"

While Fan Shengmei was still in a daze, she noticed that Yang Ke had woken up and asked her what was going on with a puzzled look on his face.

"Brother Yang, I... I just wanted to help you."

When Yang Ke saw Fan Shengmei's posture, he felt embarrassed, but he still gritted his teeth and said what he had carefully prepared.
