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

As soon as Yang Ke opened the door, he teased Qu Xiaoxiao, but she didn't seem to care at all. She immediately jumped into Yang Ke's arms and closed the door behind her.

"Of course I'm anxious, I haven't seen you, Brother Yang, for days."

Qu Xiaoxiao always likes to hug Yang Ke in a koala-like posture, perhaps so that she can feel Yang Ke's physique?

"I can tell you're in a hurry, but didn't you go to your dad's company to learn recently? How come you have time to come over?"

Although Yang Ke could have taken Qu Xiaoxiao right there and then, he still chatted with her for a few minutes.

"Oh dear, that's why I came here specifically to ask for your help, Yang Ke."

It turns out that after Qu Xiaoxiao went to her father's company, her father entrusted her with an important GI project.

Qu Xiaoxiao, who can't even speak English well abroad, is capable of handling this kind of project?

After seeking advice from several of her friends, Qu Xiaoxiao finally gave up and went to Yang Ke, hoping to find a solution from him.

Just kidding. Her friends are all birds of a feather flock together; how could they possibly handle the project? So it's not surprising that they approached Yang Ke.

After all, Yang Ke is the boss of a company himself. Even if they are from different industries, he can still offer some advice.

Of course, she was just thinking of taking a shot even if there was no chance of success.

Well, literally.

Yang Ke saw right through Qu Xiaoxiao's thoughts. After lifting Qu Xiaoxiao up, he began to teach her new knowledge points, much to her astonishment.

After all, very few people in the world can do this. It involves lifting 100 pounds with one hand for an extended period of time. Who could possibly learn that?

This kind of world-opening knowledge naturally excited Qu Xiaoxiao, so she fainted in less than an hour.

"As expected, he's both bad at the game and loves to play. Even if he plays fancy games, it doesn't change the fact that he's a complete noob."

Looking at the unconscious Qu Xiaoxiao, Yang Ke shook his head in disappointment and then went to wash up as well.

In Ode to Joy, only Fan Shengmei can keep up with his pace, especially when Fan Shengmei is short of money.

The reason I say this is mainly because Fan Shengmei's willpower is strong when she is short of money, allowing her to unleash her full potential and remain unaffected by external influences.

Just like how Qiu Yingying, who was probably lying in her bedroom sleeping, couldn't hold back at all, but when she heard that Yang Ke was going to give Qiu Yingying a house as a reward, she immediately became fully charged. Even Yang Ke didn't know how Fan Shengmei managed to persevere.

It just goes to show that people really can't stand being nagged. Yang Ke had just thought of Fan Shengmei when she sent him a message.

"Brother Yang, shall I come up to see you tonight?"

Fan Shengmei asked tentatively.

After all, she didn't have much standing with Yang Ke, so she naturally wouldn't dare to bother him if he was busy today.

Fan Shengmei came to Yang Ke mainly because her family needed money, and she was broke.

Whether it was her family or herself, Fan Shengmei's first thought after running out of money was to contact Yang Ke, so she sent him a message to inquire.

Now that Yang Ke had agreed, she naturally dressed up beautifully and went upstairs.

Yang Ke actually considered Qu Xiaoxiao's personality when he replied to her messages.

He figured that given his current relationship with Qu Xiaoxiao, there was a high chance she would end up spending time with Fan Shengmei that night, so naturally he would have Fan Shengmei come over now.

Yang Ke was certain that Qu Xiaoxiao had no objections mainly because Qu had always disliked gold diggers like Fan Shengmei.

Seeing Fan Shengmei competing with her for Yang Ke, even though their relationship was not ordinary, Qu Xiaoxiao didn't care.

After all, her spoiled nature wouldn't let her lose to a gold digger; she might even unleash her inner power.

Fan Shengmei came up quickly and without alerting anyone else.

This is mainly because Qiu Yingying has been focusing her energy on work these past few days and doesn't want people to say that she got to her position through connections.

Well, when Yang Ke went to Qiu Yingying's company a couple of days ago to deal with Manager Bai, he also revealed his relationship with Qiu Yingying.

This immediately turned Qiu Yingying, who was originally an unknown figure in the company, into the center of attention, but naturally, it also brought with it all sorts of jealous remarks.

Although Qiu Yingying wasn't particularly persistent, she still wanted to make the company's people understand through her own efforts that she wasn't able to stay at the company because of her boyfriend.

Guan Juer was exhausted from last night until early this morning. She fell asleep after saying a few words to the two of them when she entered the room, which is why Fan Shengmei was able to come up to room 2301 so quickly.

However, when Fan Shengmei opened the door and came in, she was immediately greeted by Yang Ke's words that left her stunned.

Looks like you're short of money again.

Fan Shengmei had barely entered the room when she was met with Yang Ke's soul-crushing words, leaving her completely at a loss for what to do.

Leave? I haven't even secured the money yet.

If she stayed, she felt her face burning.

Yang Ke said that because he wanted to change Fan Shengmei.

As those who have watched the original series know, Fan Shengmei appears to be kind-hearted to others, but she has never actually given anything to any man.

Yang Ke said this to make it clear to her that everyone sees through her and that she shouldn't always treat people like fools.

Wang Baichuan is a good example. He pursued Fan Shengmei but was humiliated and embarrassed by her. In reality, Fan Shengmei was the biggest joke.

Only when Fan Shengmei breaks free from these shackles can Yang Ke make her obedient, instead of her constantly talking about money.

"Since you want money, you should know what to do, right?"

"Don't make me teach you a third time, I don't have much patience."

Yang Ke is eagerly anticipating what decision Fan Shengmei will make.

Should they bow their heads and obey, or storm off in anger?

Fan Shengmei wasn't too angry, mainly because the money Yang Ke had given her earlier had worked its magic.

Having already lost all face in front of Yang Ke, Fan Shengmei naturally didn't care and just went for it.

"Congratulations, host, for slapping Fan Shengmei in the face and breaking her defenses. You are rewarded with a luxury apartment in Shanghai's Tomson Group."

The system sent a reward immediately after Fan Shengmei made her decision and walked up to him.

The reward this time was just so-so, but Yang Ke had plenty of cash.

He could easily buy such a house, so the system's reward was just a bonus.

Yang Ke snapped out of his daze after receiving the system reward in an instant. Since Fan Shengmei had already figured things out, he naturally had to take it seriously.

Fan Shengmei's current mindset is very simple; she's indifferent now that she's been exposed.

Actually, what Yang Ke said wasn't wrong.

It's worth noting that Fan Shengmei's phone was filled with contacts labeled with various titles like "General Manager" and "General Manager," which she later gave away to Qu Lianjie for free.

How powerful can a mature woman be after breaking free of all her shackles? You can tell just by the fact that Qu Xiaoxiao, who had just fallen asleep in her room, was woken up by the noise.

"It can only be said that if there are levels of social death, then Fan Shengmei has reached the highest level."

She and Qu Xiaoxiao didn't get along to begin with; they had even argued with each other at a bar before.

But now, she's so obviously showing her other side to Qu Xiaoxiao, how could she not feel awkward?

As for why Qu Xiaoxiao was there, Fan Shengmei was no longer able to think about it at this point.
