102. Chapter 102 The death of the male and female protagonists in the 1980s (28)

Xiao Wang is a smart man and he can easily understand the meaning behind Jin Yin's two sentences.
She used to be the most prestigious friend she could meet in the countryside, an accountant who ate commercial grain, but now she was just an ordinary person working in the countryside. Now she appeared in a bustling downtown area to open a shop selling clothes. Naturally, Jin Yin could not accept it.
"This is not my store. I'm just selling clothes."
"Oh, then your boss must trust you, otherwise why would he leave the store to you alone?"
Jin Yin saw it all just now, huge amounts of money being stuffed into Xiao Wang's hands. She had never thought in her life that money could be earned so easily, that people would stuff it into your hands without you having to do anything.
"My boss is a very nice person, but he's a little busy right now. Can we talk about the past later?"
"It's like this, my friend and I are here to buy clothes, and by chance, you're the salesperson. Can you recommend a few pieces to us?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the girl who had been waiting for a long time became unhappy.
"First come, first served, do you understand? Everyone is lining up, and you just come over and want to buy first. How can this make sense?"
Jin Yin blushed. She had never been criticized in public before. She naturally thought that Xiao Wang was a friend. What was wrong with giving her some privileges? It wasn't like he didn't pay her.
Xiao Wang quickly spoke to comfort her.
"Indeed, first come first served. Jin Yin, please go sit in the shop next door for a while. When you are done with your work, come back and take your time to choose.
Excuse me, my friend just said a few words, please continue to look, and tell me which one you like. "
Xiao Wang gave Jin Yin face and a way out. Jin Yin was a little unhappy, but she still suppressed her unhappiness and went out.
The classmates who came with him hurried forward and asked.
"You know the boss?"
"I'm not the boss, I'm just a friend of mine who's selling goods here now.
Let's go to the store next door first. I think the clothes here are just average. Doesn't the Friendship Store also sell coats? They are also very nice.
Besides, there is Chu Dong's store. Why would we buy from others if the money is not in our hands?"
That's the truth.
But they have been to Chu Dong's clothing store at least eight or ten times. They only wear the same few styles over and over again, and since everyone else is wearing them, they don't think it's a big deal.
Now that I have seen the styles of Jinhe brand clothes, looking back at Chu-style clothing is really unbearable.
The style is old-fashioned, the color is monotonous, and the clothes are thick and heavy. It is difficult to lift your arms when wearing them in winter.
A few people didn't want to leave, but Jin Yin kept persuading them. Plus, Chu Dong was standing next to them, so they had no choice but to follow and take a look.
Compared with the bustling and prosperous Jinhe International Clothing Store, the Chu-style Clothing Store located in the Friendship Shopping Mall can be described as "dismal".
After walking around inside, I saw the salesperson sitting on a chair and yawning. When he saw a customer coming, he just shouted at them in a cold manner.
"You can look but not touch, no bargaining."
The more this happened, the more the girls wanted to go back.
But Jin Yin walked in and looked at the striped brown coats hanging on the wall over and over again.
"Isn't this pretty?"
"To be honest, none of them are as pretty as Jin He's. Yin Yin, let's go back and line up, lest the pretty ones are snapped up by everyone else."
Jin Yin had a tense face and was holding her breath.
As a former friend, she didn't even give him a favor, so she would not take care of the business.
"Chu-style ones are all classics, with factories behind them, and the quality is guaranteed. Jinhe is just a no-name brand, without any heritage. Anyway, I don't like it. Do you also want to follow the crowd like those people?"
"Forget it, you should just look at it yourself. Let's go."
If you don't hurry up, they will be sold out.
After saying that, several people ran away without looking back. They looked so anxious as if they were afraid that if they arrived too late, they would not be able to buy anything.
Jin Yin watched from behind, her face darkening.
The salesperson urged from behind.
"What are you looking at? Are you going to buy it or not? If not, don't keep occupying the seat. Come back when you've made up your mind."
"What's your attitude? Do you know who we are?"
"Who are you? Even if you are the king, so what? Aren't you ashamed of yourself for just looking at the things without buying them?"
Jin Yin's face turned red with anger, and she turned around and shouted at Chu Dong.
"Is this the attitude of your employees? They dare to be so arrogant even when they see the boss! Why do you keep such employees?"
Later, when the salesperson learned of Chu Dong's identity, his arrogance immediately subsided and he apologized to Jin Yin in a friendly manner.
When Jin Yin thought about how she always looked down on others and had to be servile in front of her, her anger quickly subsided.
Finally, Chu Dong gave her another coat.
The material is very good and thick, and it has a belt in the middle. It is considered a popular style nowadays. A simple piece can be sold for nearly 40 yuan, which can be considered a luxury item nowadays.
Jin Yin felt much better. She changed her clothes and went to the entrance of the Jinhe clothing store. She found that there was still a long line there and the business was incredibly good.
She didn't understand what was so good about these fancy clothes. Moreover, the country now advocated frugality and simplicity, but all the clothes here were weird and strange.
At this time, several girls who came with her came out happily.
Everyone had a new set of clothes, loose jeans, casual baseball jackets, fresh floral jackets, or slim-fitting jackets.
In an instant, the whole street looked like a fashion catwalk, with bright and vivid colors that made people unable to take their eyes off.
Several people were discussing the clothes they were wearing.
"The salesperson in this store is very nice and even let me try on a few pieces. Although the clothes are a bit expensive, they will never be out of style even if I wear them for another ten years!"
"Jin Yin, are you really not going to go take a look? Your friend just asked us why you didn't come."
Jin Yin remained calm and smiled faintly.
"I don't like fancy clothes, and this pure wool fabric is more comfortable for me."
"They also have pure wool sweaters! They're so pretty! They're exactly the same as the ones worn by Hong Kong stars! It's a pity that they're too expensive to buy, but I plan to bring my mom along!"
A hint of disdain appeared on Jin Yin's lips.
"Pure wool? In the whole city, where else can you buy wool products besides Chu's?
Don't be fooled."
Chu Dong spoke at this time.
"This kind of store won't last long. My dad said that the better you treat your customers, the less likely they are to keep them. You should focus all your energy on the products. It's useless to waste time on other things.
Moreover, I dare say that my clothes are the only ones made of wool in the whole city, hers are definitely fake."
As soon as this was said, several girls asked back.
"How do you know it's not made of wool? It feels so comfortable to the touch, and the material feels even softer than the one Jin Yin is wearing." (End of this chapter) 2023-10-26 Author: Stir-fried pork belly
"All wool has to be shipped from XJ. My family is the only one in the city that has a special fleet of cars that go there every year to collect wool. Other clothing stores don't have this channel at all.
So I said her store was fake and sold fake goods."
Chu Dong spoke in a firm tone and with a confident attitude.
At this time, Jin Yin suddenly asked.
"What should I do if I bought a fake product?"
"Report it to the Industry and Commerce Bureau. These small private shops are strictly regulated now. If the report is true, the business license will usually be revoked and a fine will be imposed.
A while ago, a store that sold fake wool products was closed down, and the owner lost 5,000 yuan, almost bankrupting himself."
At that time, the market economy had just started and was already struggling. Most businesses operated in good faith and not only did they not have the intention but also the ability to do so.
The reason why that store was discovered was because they used synthetic hair to pretend to be wool. Nowadays, few people can afford wool products, so it is easy to be deceived, but experienced people can see it at a glance.
Jin Yin's eyes lit up and she asked excitedly.
"Can the fine really be that much?"
"My dad said this, how could it be fake? There aren't many fakes on the market now, and if there are any, they will definitely be fined."
And how much the fine is depends entirely on the other party's mood.
Jin Yin looked at the busy shop in front of her and pulled Chu Dong's arm.
"Then buy one."
"What?"
"Wool clothes, these unscrupulous shops are selling fake goods under the guise of real ones. If we don't do anything about it, won't more and more people be deceived?
It's not easy for everyone to make a little money, not to mention, isn't this also good for the Chu family? "
Chu Dong disagreed.
"This kind of small shop won't last long. Don't compare it with Chu's. We have branches all over the country. This kind of shop won't have much impact on us.
However, it is wrong to cheat, so I will buy one and see."
Jin Yin finally managed to queue up patiently.
She stood at the back of the team, watching the girls coming out as if they were reborn, with a hint of disdain in her eyes.
Finally it was her turn and Xiao Wang entertained her warmly.
"Just now I thought you weren't coming. Which one do you like? It doesn't matter if you look at a few more. Just try them on slowly."
"Do you have a wool sweater at home?"
"Yes, we are the only one selling sweaters on this street. We have tight and loose ones. Which one do you want?"
"Show them all to me."
Xiao Wang took down two white wool sweaters, placed them in front of Jin Yin, and asked her to try them on.
The clothes are soft and comfortable, with lines that fit the body perfectly, making the young body look slim and graceful.
Jin Yin looked at herself in the mirror and her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
"How is it? Is this dress comfortable to wear? Our boss wears it himself, how about taking one?"
"Your boss is amazing, where did he get the wool?"
"I don't know about that. I'm just selling clothes. If you want to know, just wait until she comes and ask her in person."
Jin Yin smiled and pulled at the sleeves, which were very elastic. She then pulled at the hem, which was much looser and elastic than ordinary wool products.
"How much?"
"Wool products are very expensive. This one is thirty-eight."
"Thirty-eight... more expensive than what Chu's sells?"
"I've also seen Chu's clothes. They don't use as much wool as ours, and their styles aren't as nice as ours. Ours are all clearly marked with prices. If you think they're too expensive, you can exchange them for a wool vest."
Jin Yin looked calm and spoke in a calm tone.
"It's okay. It's not too expensive. I bought it."
Liao Lingang gave her money for textbooks for the next semester, and Jin Yin paid out all the money she had saved, plus her own savings.
She just bought a piece of clothing from Chu's shop for free, and this time Chu Dong refused to pay for her.
But it doesn't matter if I pay for it myself, because I have to return it to her intact anyway.
"How much money can you make by helping the boss sell things? You were doing well as an accountant before, why do you want to do this kind of work?"
Jin Yin was paying and chatting at the same time, and her eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the cabinet in front of Xiao Wang, which was full of banknotes.
Xiao Wang was very busy. Although he could hear the sense of superiority in Jin Yin's tone, he didn't have time to argue with her.
"It's only about a couple of hundred a month. I don't know how much people in your city earn, but this little money is enough for me. One month's salary is equivalent to what I earned in a year before."
"One or two hundred? Haha... you still love to joke."
Xiao Wang still had a smile on his face.
She made money, had a broad mind and a fat body, and could tolerate all scoundrels and fools, not to mention people like Jin Yin who looked down on others.
After buying the clothes, Jin Yin asked casually.
"How do you know your boss?"
"From the same village."
"From the same village?"
Jin Yin glanced at her more, with surprise in her tone.
Xiao Wang smiled meaningfully, nodded, and raised his voice.
"Yes, we are from the same village. You know each other."
"From the same village? I know him? Who?"
However, Xiao Wang turned around to greet the next guest.
Jin Yin was hanging there, feeling stuck in her heart and unable to breathe. She felt that the originally simple Xiao Wang had now become somewhat hideous.
He has some of the commercialism and cleverness of a businessman, reeks of money and tells lies without hesitation.
How could such a big shop be opened by a villager? Those who can open shops on this street are basically all locals. How can outsiders buy such a big shop and do business here?
Jin Yin was certain that Xiao Wang had deliberately deceived her. Was he worried that he knew the owner of this store?
But it is not impossible. This street is not far from home and there are not many native locals. Maybe she really can know the store owner.
Even if she didn't know him, her parents had been teaching for so many years, even the city leaders knew him, let alone an ordinary vendor.
Thinking of this, Jin Yin's mood calmed down a lot. She looked at Xiao Wang with a cold smile, then turned around and left.
Before leaving, she saw a familiar figure.
She was very familiar with this person, and Jin Yin could recognize him at a glance even from his back.
Jin Shu, why is she here?
Oh, by the way, wasn't the dress she was wearing bought in this store? Maybe she got to know Xiao Wang because of that.
Both of them came from small places, so it was normal for them to gather together for warmth in such a big city.
Looking at Xiao Wang talking and laughing with her, Jin Yin sneered.
They all come from small places and are used to forming groups to exclude others. Xiao Wang probably learned this from Jin Shu.
It's quite sad. This is probably the only way out for these people, to put on a smile and work servilely to earn such a pitiful amount of money.
Such people will not be able to laugh for long. Since ancient times, everything is inferior except reading. Without academic qualifications and culture, one can only do these undignified jobs all his life.

"Jin Yin came here specially to buy a wool sweater. She asked so many questions that I felt like she had no good intentions." (End of this chapter) Chapter 104 The Death of the Male and Female Protagonists in the 1980s (30)
"Oh, what do you mean?"
"She was like this before. When I was working as an accountant, she came to hang out with me every day and even moved in with me at night. I was not used to sleeping in the same room with others, so I refused.
Later, she came to chat with me enthusiastically and said that I must be very lonely here as a stranger.
I liked her very much at first. Later, she was taken back by her biological parents. Before leaving, she came over and said something to me.
Guess what she said."
Jin Shu asked in cooperation.
"Well, what?"
"She said that city people are hard to get along with, especially since you have been spoiled for a long time and especially dislike country people. She asked me to be careful not to provoke you."
Jin Shu nodded. No wonder the original owner could feel an inexplicable rejection and alienation from the people around her as soon as she arrived in the countryside. It turned out that Jin Yin had already given them a shot of prevention.
"So when I saw you, I automatically identified with you, thinking you were a delicate city girl who looked down on us and didn't want to play with us.
Now it seems that she is just talking nonsense and setting a trap for you."
Prejudice is a terrible thing. Once it leaves an impression, it is difficult to change it.
The original owner was homesick and couldn't adapt to this huge gap. Her former friends were now hundreds of miles away, and when she came here, the girls of the same age also had prejudices and dissatisfaction with her.
The original owner, who was already sensitive, became even more withdrawn over time and was unwilling to communicate with others.
The original owner may have some personality problems, but the heroine Jin Yin is also closely related to the original owner's tragic life.
Xiao Wang is very insightful and takes the initiative to break down prejudices and get to know Jin Shu in depth, only to find out that what Jin Yin said before was completely fabricated.
"That's why I don't like her. She doesn't even know you, but she says you're arrogant and hard to get along with. It's so irresponsible to say that. I think she hates you very much."
When Xiao Wang said this, he himself felt confused.
"She took the wrong child. Why does she blame you instead of her own parents for not taking good care of her?"
"If everything in the world had a reason, there would be no bad people in the world."
Jin Shu was used to hostility from others, so what happened to Jin Yin was nothing to her.
"She bought a dress from me, there won't be any problem, right?"
"What's the problem? Relax and work hard. The guests are waiting."
Xiao Wang immediately shifted his attention and started to get busy.
Seeing that the business in the store was getting better and better, it was definitely not enough to rely on Xiao Wang alone. After the business was closed, Jin Shu took Xiao Wang to visit various supply and marketing cooperatives.
With the private economy now booming, the business of the supply and marketing cooperatives is obviously not as prosperous as before. The sales clerks who were once busy all the time are now sitting there chatting.
When they saw customers coming, few of them were willing to stand up and shout.
After all, they have long been accustomed to customers coming to their door, and all they have to do is collect the money.
Occasionally, two people were willing to stand up, but their tone was mostly flat and impatient.
Because Jin Shu and Xiao Wang were not here to buy things, and they looked young and did not seem to have any purchasing power.
In the end, there was only a lady in her forties who was still following the two of them with a smile on her face. No matter what they were seeing, she would introduce it to others without showing any impatience.
"Sister, how much do you get paid for working here for a month? How long do you work for?"
"It's only about thirty bucks, not much work, and it's close to home. Why do you two want to work here?"
Those who can get to work as salespeople here all have some connections at home. This was once one of the most popular jobs. Customers would put money in their hands without them even having to say a word.
If you feel better, say a few more words.
Even if you curse at people if you are in a bad mood, the customers will not leave.
Of course, this was only the case in the past, when there were many people and few goods, so there was no need to worry about selling them.
Now there are two or three private shopping malls opened in the city, and the whole street across the street is full of private shops. They sell a wide variety of goods at low prices, and the owners are nice and you can bargain.
If the salespersons have a bad attitude, the customers will just walk away without even looking at them.
"Sister, the business in the shops outside is so good, is our supply and marketing cooperative's business also going to be bad?"
"Yes, but it's none of our business whether we are doing well or not. As long as we get paid, that's all."
"Are wages getting lower and lower?"
The eldest sister was silent and looked at Xiao Wang with some doubt in her eyes.
"Why are you asking so many questions, little girl?"
"I like you, so I want to say a few words to you. We have a store next door, and right now our store is short of a salesperson. After looking around, I think you're the most suitable person.
The monthly salary is 60 yuan, and the more you sell, the more commission you get. If you are interested, you can go to the Jinhe International Clothing Store opposite to have a look.
Sister, fewer and fewer people will come here to buy things, it's time to find another way out for yourself."
After saying this, Xiao Wang nodded at Jin Shu, indicating that it was almost time to leave.
So the two of them left side by side, leaving the eldest sister standing there alone, deep in thought.
"What are you standing there for? I told you they have no money. They worked so hard but still didn't sell anything."
When the elder sister turned around, she heard the mockery and ridicule from her colleagues.
They gathered in groups of three or five, eating melon seeds and watching TV. Their lazy and casual attitude made the guests who wanted to come in outside the door frown and leave.
The eldest sister thought about it.
"Do you think our job is a stable one?"
"Hahaha! Big sister, don't you know how much effort you put in to get in? This is assigned by the state! It's not a guaranteed job, right?"
"If no one comes to buy things, what do we need to do?"
It seems that the eldest sister has discovered something extraordinary.
But the other person just cracked melon seeds with a nonchalant look on his face and glanced at her.
"These people will come back sooner or later. Those people who engage in capitalism will be doomed sooner or later! Just wait, my girlfriend said that those who only want to be bosses and capitalists will soon be in trouble!"
The eldest sister's smile was stiff.
Is that so?
When the country first announced that private business was allowed, these people said that private business would be doomed soon.
Having said that, two or three years have passed, and as we watch others grow bigger and bigger, those who didn't have formal jobs before are now driving cars and becoming bosses, and the control these people talk about is still not being implemented.
Looking at the depressed supply and marketing cooperative, the eldest sister made a secret decision.
You have to prepare yourself in advance.
—
The second Jinhe International Clothing Store opened.
The newly hired salesperson looks kind and has a friendly smile. Many customers call her Sister Zhou affectionately after coming a few times.
Jin Shu rarely makes mistakes in judging people, and this time was no exception. The eldest sister she took a liking to at first sight was indeed naturally friendly and very popular with customers. Chapter 105 The 1980s: The Death of the Male and Female Protagonists (31)
A foreign trade import store opened across the street.
Specializes in selling some novelty gadgets imported from abroad.
Xiao Wang ran into the store excitedly. Jin Shu was sitting at the cash register counting accounts. The account book in her hand was getting thicker and thicker. The abacus in Jin Shu's hand was "cracking" and her slender fingers were moving quickly, so fast that Xiao Wang could not see her fingers clearly.
"Why are you still using an abacus? Didn't I buy you a calculator?"
"I'm not used to it, this one is more comfortable to use."
Jin Shu worked as an innkeeper for a while. At first, she just wanted to cope with the long life. Unexpectedly, the birds and beasts on the nearby mountains absorbed the spiritual power emanating from Jin Shu, and each of them cultivated into a spirit. The name of the fairy mountain spread, and the business of the inn at the foot of the mountain became better and better.
Because of her solitary personality, Jin Shu was the only one running the inn. When business was good, the account books would pile up as high as a person. In order to handle these account books, Jin Shu learned how to use an abacus.
After so much time, I didn't expect that I could still pick up this skill.
"Oh, forget it. When the business gets bigger, we can just hire an accountant. Besides, I can do all these things. Come with me to see the store across the street. It's so big and luxurious. There's even a piano in it!"
This city is indeed a big city, and all its developments are at the forefront of the country. Xiao Wang thinks that he has gained a lot of experience after coming here, and he will never be shy when he goes out.
But when she saw the foreign trade mall across the street, she felt like a country bumpkin entering the city. Everything inside was so new and many of them were things she had never heard of before.
"There are so many people outside watching the fun. Hurry up, or we won't be able to squeeze in if there are too many people."
Jin Shu slowly and methodically finished calculating the accounts on hand.
"If you want to see it, just go ahead. Why drag me along?"
"No, I don't dare to do it alone. You are richer than me and you have the confidence. Besides, you are from the city, so you must have more experience than me."
Xiao Wang dragged Jin Shu over there. Sure enough, almost all the shops on the street gathered outside. There were already quite a few people inside. Everyone was curious about this suddenly opened shopping mall.
"Is this a private property? Who's the boss? It's five floors long!"
"Who knows? Those who can open such a big shopping mall must be big bosses."
With Jin Shu by his side, Xiao Wang instantly felt confident. He pretended to walk in leisurely and naturally, facing the smiling faces of the two welcoming people at the door.
"Wow! It's so soft here!"
There was a huge red carpet at the door. It was so soft when I stepped on it that my legs felt weak as well.
In front of you is a two-story hall with an artificial fountain in the center. Water flows in all directions and melodious and soothing music can be heard.
Xiao Wang was dazzled and overwhelmed.
"Look, there's a piano right here. It looks so expensive."
There was a price tag next to it, and Xiao Wang curiously leaned over to take a look.
The next second, she rubbed her eyes and looked again.
"Is this labelled incorrectly? How much is this?"
Xiao Wang lowered his head and began to count.
"One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand... six hundred thousand?!"
Six hundred thousand?!
This thing costs six hundred thousand?!
This is an astronomical figure that is completely beyond what Xiao Wang could imagine.
With six hundred thousand, I can buy all the shops on this whole street.
"Who would buy something so expensive?"
"There are more rich people than you think, and they are richer than you think."
(End of this chapter) This foreign trade department store has obviously raised the standard of the entire street to a higher level.
Xiao Wang was lying in front of a glass cabinet, staring at the gorgeous jewels inside.
"This is called a diamond ring. Diamond...Jin Shu, do you know what it is?"
Jin Shu looked down and saw the dazzling stone in front of her. It was transparent and hard, just like the large piece of raw stone she had found in a cave.
Is this thing so valuable? Such a small one costs hundreds of thousands, which is considered a mini Santana.
For most people, this mall is more like a museum than a place to sell goods.
In this era when the market economy is just taking off, everything here gives people a glimpse of the prosperity and progress of foreign countries.
Since then, Xiao Wang would come here to hang out after work.
This time after work, she planned to lock the door and leave as usual. When she turned around, she suddenly saw three men in uniform standing at the door of the store with serious expressions.
"We have received a report that your store is selling fake wool products. Please open the door and cooperate with the investigation."
Xiao Wang had never seen such a scene before and was so frightened that she stood there, not daring to move. But she soon calmed down and quickly opened the door.
"Okay, I'll cooperate."
Fake wool? What fake wool?
Xiao Wang was confused, but she also knew that the situation was a bit serious and the only thing she could do was to cooperate.
Several inspectors walked directly into the store.
"Take down all the woolen clothes in your store."
Xiao Wang took out the clothes and spread them in front of them, then asked carefully.
"Comrade, are you mistaken? The wool products here are all real wool. The boss bought them at a high price. There can't be any fakes."
"We will take it away for inspection and we will know if it is fake or not. During this period, your store will be closed. Once the results come out and there is no problem, we will notify you when to reopen."
"Ah? Close the door?"
Xiao Wang's face turned pale with fright.
How much money will be lost in one day?
Jin Shu was not around, and she had no way of handling the situation. She glanced outside helplessly, and saw several high school students from a nearby school, curiously looking inside.
Among them there is one who looks familiar.
"Jin Yin..."
Xiao Wang thought quickly and immediately thought of the wool products that Jin Yin had bought in the store not long ago.
"Jin Yin!"
Xiao Wang called her, his voice a little nervous, but he was still trying to control his emotions.
"Where's Jin Shu? When will Jin Shu come back?"
"How should I know? What happened to your store? Is there any problem?"
Several other girls were also whispering.
Xiao Wang stared at Jin Yin with anger.
"Don't you know what happened to our store?"
"How would I know? If the things sold in your store are problematic and are being investigated, it's your own fault. Where's your boss? Is he letting a clothes seller take the blame?"
Xiao Wang was breathing rapidly. She was already panicking. Now facing Jin Yin, her mind was unable to think straight for a moment. She could only listen to what she was saying.
"I advise you to go back now. It's not easy to make a living here. How can there be such a thing as a free lunch? How can a high school graduate like you easily earn more than a hundred yuan a month?
This store has a lot of problems. It's only a matter of time before something goes wrong. If it's serious, jail time is the least of the problems. Maybe... they'll even be shot."
Xiao Wang shuddered all over.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't scared.
But she believed Jin Shu, so she forced herself to remain calm. But before she could say anything, tears were about to fall.
Jin Yin sighed helplessly and was about to say something when suddenly a cold voice came from behind her.
"Then do you know what crime you are committing by making a false police report and accusing someone else?"
Jin Yin shuddered all over and turned around immediately.
Jin Shu was standing behind him with a cold look in her eyes.
"Jin Shu? You're here too? Are you close to Xiao Wang? That's no wonder, we're all from the same hometown so we should stick together for warmth.
But I advise you not to talk nonsense and add fuel to the fire."
When Xiao Wang saw Jin Shu, it was as if he had seen a savior. His eyes lit up and he shouted happily.
"You're finally here. As soon as I closed the store, they said they received a report that someone reported that the store was selling fake wool!"
With Jin Shu, Xiao Wang became more confident and spoke more confidently.
Jin Yin watched from the side and wanted to laugh.
Even if you are desperate, this is not the way to go. Is it possible that a mere Jin Shu can be of any help?
Instead of looking for Jin Shu, it's better to ask her for help.
"You'd better call your boss over, or you'll end up in jail."
Xiao Wang finally couldn't help it. He pulled Jin Shu's arm, turned around, stared at Jin Yin fiercely, and said loudly.
"Are you blind? Our boss is standing right in front of you and you can't recognize him?"
The smile on Jin Yin's face froze immediately. Her expression became strange and complicated, as if she couldn't accept the fact for a while and looked devastated.
"She is your boss?"
"What? Is there a problem? Is it irritating for you that she's the boss?"
Xiao Wang had been unhappy with Jin Yin for a long time, but now seeing her complexion as if she had eaten shit, he felt even happier, without any of the nervousness and fear he had just felt.
Jin Yin immediately put a smile on her face again.
"I didn't expect you to be so capable that you could open a store here."
Jin Shu looked at her with an indifferent expression and an even more casual tone.
"What skills do you need to open a store here?"
"…"
Jin Yin could no longer look Jin Shu in the eye. There was such calmness and confidence in Jin Shu's eyes that even at this moment she was still able to show off her superiority.
Why was she so superior?
A businessman who opened a shop, a country girl who was rich and wealthy, was so arrogant in front of a local like her.
"Heh… you're amazing, no wonder you make so much money, you sell fake goods and cheat people in big cities.
What a pity, this is not a barren countryside. People here have used good things, and your fake products can't fool us.
The comrades from the Industry and Commerce Bureau will give us an explanation! And you have to refund us for the clothes we bought from you!"
Jin Shu looked at her indignantly and waited for her to finish speaking. Then she nodded and looked at the people who were watching the fun outside the door.
"Don't worry, if our store sells fakes, it will definitely be closed down. Then you can return the clothes with me. I will return you double the amount you paid for them.
Thank you for your likes. Please believe in our honest business. Two days later, please bear witness to prove that our Jinhe International Clothing Store sells genuine goods at fair prices! "
As soon as these words were spoken, the people outside who were watching the fun also felt relieved.
It turned out that it was just an inspection, and they were not found to be selling fake goods.
Next, Jin Shu cooperated with the investigation and closed the shop. The whole process was very quick and more and more people came to watch.
Passersby asked curiously.
"What's going on? Why is this store closed?"
"You've been confiscated for selling fake goods. Remember to bring the clothes back in a couple of days to get your money back. We can't let this kind of person ruin the reputation of our city!"
"Fake? What do you mean? Can this dress be real or fake?"
"Of course, all the wool they use is fake. The wool used by Chu is real wool."
"Hey, I really like their clothes. What a pity! What a pity!"
Jin Yin glanced at her and laughed.
"What's so regrettable? There are plenty of clothes in the world. If her family loses them, can't we just go buy some from someone else?"
"You haven't been to the Golden Crane store, have you? If you have, you definitely wouldn't say something like that.
The clothes in their store are so beautiful and fashionable. I heard that even movie stars come to buy them!
It doesn't matter whether it's real or fake, as long as it looks good, that's all that matters."
Jin Yin sneered repeatedly, feeling that it was unreasonable.
Fake is fake, and those who sell fakes must be punished! Otherwise, this city will be occupied by these outsiders!
The next day, Jin Yin went to school and subconsciously glanced at the corner.
Sure enough, Jin Shu hadn't come back yet when class started.
Chu Dong, who had been paying close attention to Jin Shu during this period, noticed it at the first moment. He was distracted and turned his head to look over from time to time.
"What's wrong? Can't forget the old love? Do you care about her so much?"
Jin Yin mocked as she sorted her books.
Chu Dong asked immediately.
"Classmates, who wouldn't be curious if someone didn't come to class? Everyone is curious, right?"
As soon as he called out, everyone gathered around. They all felt that Jin Shu and Jin Yin had a connection after all. If Jin Shu was not there, Jin Yin would definitely know something.
Sure enough, you can tell from her expression that she knows.
"Why are you asking? I can't talk about her affairs. They are very serious. It would definitely not be good for me to talk about her casually."
Someone urged anxiously.
"Serious? What's wrong? Tell me now. Truth will come to light sooner or later."
"I'm also embarrassed by your behavior. Forget it... I can tell you, but you must not spread it out, otherwise it will have a great impact on Jin Shu's reputation."
After hesitating for a long time, Jin Yin told the story again.
"What?! Jin Shu sold fake goods to make money?! Got caught?! And is going to jail?!"
These three questions were enough to show how shocked he was.
"No way, I can't believe she is this kind of person. If she doesn't have money, she should just work hard to earn it. How can she sell fake goods?"
"Even her background is fake, so what's wrong with selling fake goods? Isn't that normal?"
"How long will she be in jail? Is it possible that she is still in jail after we have graduated from college?"
After a heated discussion, Jin Yin lowered her eyes and sighed, looking at Chu Dong helplessly.
"I don't want to see her like this, but selling fake goods will be exposed sooner or later. It's not too late to make her change her ways now."
Chu Dong had a complicated expression, his reason told him that this matter would be good for the Chu family.
But deep down I still feel a little regretful.
After all, a relationship of more than ten years cannot be broken off just like that.
"She's quite capable, with good grades and a talent for design. If she hadn't gone astray, she could actually come work for Chu's."
Chu Dong sighed, his face full of unhappiness.
When Jin Yin saw this, her eyes dimmed slightly.
"Is it difficult to design clothes? I see that the clothes she sells are all foreign-style."
"Not every piece of foreign clothing is easy to sell. People in our country have their own aesthetics. If it were that simple, our Chu's would have opened stores all over the country long ago."
Jin Yin's face was tense and her lips were almost pressed into a line.
On the way home, she went to the bookstore and bought a lot of fashion magazines. These magazines were from all over the world. The women in the magazines were dressed in their own unique style and looked very fashionable and beautiful.
"It's not that difficult. Just buy some cloth and sew it together."
She went to the tailor shop and bought some cloth according to the colors and styles of the clothes in the book. When she just got home, Liao Lin saw Jin Yin coming back with a lot of bags. He untied his apron, stuck his head out and asked.
"What did you buy? So much?"
"Mom, can you lend me your sewing machine? I want to make something."
"Sewing machine? Can you use it?"
"If I don't know how, you can teach me. Didn't you teach Jin Shu before?"
When Liao Lin heard this, he felt a little strange.
"Jin Shu? Why did you suddenly want to learn this?"
"It's fine if Jin Shu wants to learn. Can't I learn if I want to learn?"
"No... Mom didn't tell you not to study. Why are you learning this when your main focus is studying? It will delay your studies."
Liao Lin followed Jin Yin to the guest room, where there was a sewing machine.
"Did Jin Shu have any delays in her studies when she was studying? She didn't, so why do you think I will?"
Liao Lin frowned, looking at Jin Yin in front of him, feeling exhausted.
"If you want to learn, then learn. Why do you always mention Shushu? I will teach her if she is interested in the sewing machine. If you are interested, I will teach you too."
Jin Yin sat in front of the sewing machine, lowered her head and choked with sobs.
"But when I wanted to learn more than ten years ago, I didn't even have a sewing machine. How could I learn? You are my mother, why do you have to teach Jin Shu so many things? And I don't know anything now!"
When Liao Lin heard this, he felt helpless and distressed.
Her daughter had indeed suffered, and she was trying her best to make amends, being careful not to mention anything about Jin Shu.
But now she still couldn't let it go, and Liao Lin had no choice but to put down his housework and teach her how to use the sewing machine.
"Twist the thread here, thread the needle, and after threading it, fold the part of the clothes you want to sew in half, and push forward along the needle. Don't stop your feet during this time..."
"Hiss—it hurts!"
In a moment of carelessness, blood gushed out from Jin Yin's fingers.
Liao Lin hurriedly helped her deal with it and comforted her.
"It's the same for beginners. Don't worry. Just practice slowly for a few months with some unwanted fabrics."
"A few months? Then when can I make clothes? A few months is too slow."
"Why do you want to make clothes? You can't rush this kind of thing. Mom spent several years learning it, not to mention making clothes. Take your time. There's no rush. We don't rely on this for a living."
Jin Yin felt a little choked up in her heart. After she learned how to do it, she asked Liao Lin to go out and do it, and then she started sewing clothes according to the clothes in the magazine.
Finally, the clothes were made, but with crooked fabric and centipede-like stitching, it was hard to wear them, and even if you threw them on the ground, you couldn't tell that they were clothes.
She was furious and stomped hard on the clothes on the ground with gritted teeth.
It's all Jin Shu's fault!
It's all her fault!
If she hadn't taken away her life, she would be the one who could easily make beautiful clothes now!
Now, she has to start all over again, like a clown getting angry with herself!
Fortunately, Jin Shu got what she sowed, and she finally had to pay the price for the life that didn't belong to her.
This can also be considered as a kind of compensation for the victims. Chapter 108 The Death of the Male and Female Protagonists in the 1980s (34)
Jin Shu hasn't come to school for two days.
"It's been two days and he still hasn't come back. Could he really have been arrested like Jin Yin said?"
Chu Dong specifically asked his family to inquire about Jin Shu's situation, but in the end he found out nothing.
Soon Liao Linfu and his wife also knew about this matter, because the news was spreading all over the school, saying that Jin Shu was arrested for selling counterfeit goods and was about to be shot.
Liao Lin almost fainted when he heard the news.
Go directly to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to ask for information.
After all, this was the daughter he had raised for more than ten years. Liao Lin couldn't bear it if she was really imprisoned for life for selling counterfeit goods.
The director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau was an old classmate of Zhao Huaijing. For this matter, Liao Lin specifically asked Zhao Huaijing to treat his old classmate to a meal. The man agreed verbally, but when he was asked again a day later, he only replied with one sentence.
"They are busy, how can I ask for help?"
"That's Shushu's business. Why are you embarrassed to speak up as a father?"
"Whose child is Shushu? Why should we be so anxious? Yinyin has been emotionally unstable recently and often goes to the balcony to cry alone at night. Did you know that?
We agreed at the time that after we got back together, we wouldn't ask too many questions anymore. Now you're so busy running around that you've even ignored Yinyin's thoughts."
The man's rationality is terrifying.
He seems to care only about blood and not family affection.
Liao Lin felt hopeless and helpless.
In this family, the father and daughter seemed to have agreed to be indifferent. As long as she showed her concern for Jin Shu, the atmosphere at home would drop to freezing point.
Two days later, many people came to the store with their clothes waiting to be returned.
Xiao Wang stood at the door of the store, with her head down and not saying a word. No matter what the people in front of her shouted, she only replied with one sentence.
"Please be patient. We will give you an explanation today. Either you prove your innocence or we will return your money. We will not shirk our responsibility!"
As time was getting later, people passing by on the street stopped to watch, everyone was curious about what had happened in this store.
Jin Yin stood in the crowd, surrounded by several female classmates who had bought clothes with her in the store.
"Jin Shu said she would return the money, and it would be double the amount. What else can you buy with the money?"
"You said she was arrested, how can you return the money?"
"Chu Dong's father asked someone to ask, and he said that if there is a problem, even if the person is locked up, compensation must be paid. Anyway, Jin Shu will definitely pay, so don't worry."
"Why do you think she would sell fake goods? The clothes are so expensive, but they are fake. How greedy!"
Jin Yin looked at the store in front of her with a serious look.
"Yeah, that's greedy."
Isn't it good to live a good life in the countryside? Wasn't that how she lived in her previous life?
When Jin Yin thought of her miserable life in her previous life, she felt that no matter how much Jin Shu lost now, it was not too much.
"Here they come! Here they come! Someone is coming!"
A black car slowly drove over with the words "official car" on it. People could tell at a glance that it must be someone from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
After seeing this scene, Xiao Wang, who had a dazed expression just now, immediately raised his head and waited with rapid breathing and a nervous look.
The car door opened and a young man in a white shirt and suit pants walked out. He was wearing glasses and looked gentle and elegant. Jin Yin recognized him at the first sight.
"He is the director's secretary. I met him before when I went out to dinner with my dad."
"Now that the secretary is here, Jin Shu is definitely going to be in trouble."
Jin Yin walked up to him and greeted him familiarly.
"Hello, Uncle Han, I'm Jin Yin, the daughter of Teacher Lin Huaijing. We've met before."
Secretary Han smiled at her politely.
"Uncle Han, I want to ask how Jin Shu is doing? She is my classmate and also my friend. I want to ask if she can be treated leniently. She may just be in a state of depression. Can you give her another chance for my father's sake?"
Jin Yin knew that Zhao Huaijing and the director were old classmates. They had a good relationship and often had meals together. If Lin Huaijing spoke behind her back, the director might secretly arrange to release Jin Shu.
But if she told him directly about their relationship now, the director would never be lenient towards Jin Shu because of this relationship.
This is equivalent to blocking Jin Shu's only way to survive.
Secretary Han looked at Jin Yin sobbing and begging in front of him, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes behind the lenses.
"What are you talking about? What does this have to do with your dad?"
"I...I just, I just want to plead for her."
"She didn't do anything wrong. Why are you begging for mercy? It's inexplicable. Your words can easily lead to misunderstanding. Since she is Teacher Lin's child, she should learn how to speak. You are such a grown-up girl, how can you speak and act without thinking?"
This barrage of accusations completely stunned Jin Yin.
She was speechless and choked up. She looked at him and then at Jin Shu who got out of the car. Her eyes moved rapidly. She never expected that things would develop to this point.
She stood there and watched Jin Shu coming over.
The other person had clear eyes and a fair and rosy complexion, and it was obvious that he had not suffered any torture.
"She didn't make any mistakes? Uncle Han, has my dad already talked to the director?
Everyone knows that she sells fake wool, how could she not have made a mistake? "
There were many people present, and Jin Yin's words were tantamount to trampling on the reputation and face of Lin Huaijing and the director.
With so many people listening and the situation being so tense, Secretary Han immediately scolded him.
"What nonsense! We have already asked experts to identify the wool products, and the purchasing channels are also clear and transparent. If you have any questions, you can go back with us now to check it out!
Moreover, Miss Jin has already said that some people are maliciously competing to destroy the harmonious relationship in the market. We will also follow up and investigate those who report fake wool, and the reporter will receive the due punishment at that time!"
After saying this, Jin Yin's face turned pale with fright.
She opened her eyes wide and looked at the smile in Jin Shu's eyes. In an instant, countless grievances and anger surged into her heart.
"It was my dad who helped you, right? It's my dad again! You don't have a dad yourself? Why do you have to come and disturb our family's life? You have already enjoyed a good life for more than ten years in my place, and now you still want to take my parents away?!"
The voice was loud and the students around could hear it clearly.
Jin Shu had a calm expression on her face, yet there was helplessness in her eyes as she looked at Jin Yin.
She is almost like a possessed person, her obsession is too deep, her mind is too narrow, and she has pushed her life to the other end for no reason.
"I've already said that I run my business with integrity. On the contrary, those who report me with malicious intent should be prepared. I still have to find someone to compensate me for my losses during this period."
A flash of obvious panic crossed Jin Yin's face, but she quickly calmed down.
Just because Jin Shu could find connections, why couldn't she?
After all, compared to Jin Shu, shouldn't she, the biological daughter, receive some special treatment?
"Jin Shu, who do you think helped you? You should be smarter. I let you get away with it this time, but what about next time? Can my dad protect you forever?"
Jin Yin firmly believed that Jin Shu was selling fake goods. She was angry and hateful. Looking at Jin Shu's face, she felt that she was showing off and laughing at her.
The director's secretary came in person to dispel the rumor, and Xiao Wang greeted him loudly.
"We, the Jinhe International Clothing Store, operate with integrity, only sell genuine products, and accept supervision from everyone! If anyone finds fake goods in our store, we are willing to compensate 10,000 yuan!"
"Ten thousand dollars! Oh my god!"
"You must be very confident in your clothes if you dare to say that! In fact, I thought the clothes in this store were very beautiful from the beginning. After all, what can be wrong with clothes?"
"Who on earth instigated us to come here? What a waste of time. I still have to go home and take care of my children."
Most of the people who come here to return goods are looking to get a bargain, but now they not only fail to get a bargain, but also waste so much time here for nothing.
The most important thing is that the Jinhe International Clothing Store has said that if you don't trust their clothes, you can stop buying from them in the future.
This won't work. If everyone wears her clothes and I don't, won't I be able to fit in with the group?
The crowd dispersed, and several students didn't dare to look at Jin Shu and hurried to leave.
"It's all Jin Yin's fault. She swore that Jin Shu was arrested! Now we are in the same class, and we still do such a thing. If Jin Shu knows about this, will she stop selling clothes to us?"
"I have always liked her clothes, but you guys insisted on coming here. You lost your dignity for a few dozen dollars."
"Did I want to come? Jin Yin dragged me here. I didn't want to join in the fun anyway."
"Where's Jin Yin? Didn't she come with us? Why is she gone?"
"She is so ashamed. I think she is really jealous of Jin Shu. Even after coming to the city, she can't change her bad habit of taking advantage of others!"
At this time in the store, Secretary Han finished explaining his work and left.
Xiao Wang breathed a sigh of relief and sighed while holding Jin Shu's arm.
"I haven't been eating or sleeping well these past few days, and I've lost a lot of weight. I finally got you back, and I thought you really...
Forget it, I'm glad you're okay."
"I told you to come back in two days. Will the production continue?"
"But I'm still worried about you. You are the hope of our entire village. If something happens to you, I'll be fine, but the people in the village will have no way to survive."
Xiao Wang is never pretentious and is always straightforward. He also never tries to curry favor with Jin Shu or establish any kind of relationship with her. He always does everything from the perspective of interests and handles business impartially.
This is what Jin Shu likes most about her.
"I know. There's no problem with the factory. I want to open another factory in the suburbs here. You can go with me to take a look in a couple of days. If it's okay, we can just make the deal."
"Another factory? Why?"
"Mass production of high-end brand clothes can make money quickly, but if you want to create your own brand, you still need better quality and reputation. I want to give it a try now that the market has just opened up."
Xiao Wang is confused and doesn't know anything about the market or reputation. In short, as long as Jin Shu's decision is not wrong, it's fine.
"Okay, just tell me what you need me to do, and I'll do it."
After the anti-counterfeiting incident, the Jinhe brand became famous.
Soon after, the news advertising column of Linjiang TV Station was officially launched and was put out to bid at a price of 30,000 yuan per minute.
While other brands were still waiting and watching, Jin Shu did not hesitate to place an advertisement of about three minutes.
For a price of 100,000 yuan, you can buy a fixed-time advertisement on a TV station for a whole year.
No one knows the power of advertising. After all, it is a relatively new thing for many businesses. It is expensive, the effect is unknown, and if it fails, the losses will be huge.
But when the words "Jinhe Brand Clothing" began to appear before the 7:30 p.m. prime-time news broadcast, what was originally just a small start-up brand became the most familiar brand name to thousands of families after a week of advertising.
"Golden Crane brand clothing keeps you at the forefront of the times."
This is the most classic advertising slogan, which even three-year-old children who are just learning to speak can recite fluently.
An investment of one hundred thousand yuan resulted in hundreds of thousands of orders.
In a short period of time, Jin Shu had negotiated the price with two nearby stores. After buying the two adjacent stores, she directly proceeded with the upgrade.
In addition, the number of sales staff has increased to five, and they must provide smiling and considerate service to each customer while seating them.
As for interior decoration, Jin Shu designed and decorated it herself, using embroidery as the main element, and designed the entire spacious and bright shop into a unique style.
The outer door is a revolving glass door. In addition, inside the huge glass wall hangs Jin Shu's masterpieces designed by herself.
While promoting the characteristics, Jin Shu recruited embroidery culture inheritors from more than a dozen countries to personally embroider the classic clothes in the store.
As for the Jinhe brand's trademarks, each one is hand-made, with exquisite stitching and no flaws. Wearing them is a symbol of status.
At the same time, the prices of clothing in the store increased, but sales were not affected at all while the number of customers decreased, and even increased significantly.
Xiao Wang, who used to be a salesperson, has transformed himself into the general manager of sales, responsible for sales training in the store.
In the next short period of half a year, Jinhe has replaced several of the more famous high-end clothing brand stores in the country and has become a symbol of high-end ready-to-wear products in the minds of many people.
During this period, Jinhe Garment Factory expanded production and took on foreign trade business.
On New Year's Eve in 1990, Jin Shu signed the first overseas order in her life, with sales of 70,000 US dollars.
It's not a large amount, but it's a good start.
Jin Shu was very busy with her career and had not fallen behind in her studies.
She ranked first in her grade for the entire second year of high school. Even though she often had to take leave to work, it did not affect her academic performance at all.
She became a miraculous figure in the school. Because of the clothing store, the school was interviewed by a TV station, and the principal promoted the school with a smile in front of the camera.
"Jin Shu is a born achiever. She is always full of energy. I guarantee that there are only a few people in the world who can surpass her!
Of course, this is also inseparable from the hard work of us as teachers. There are many children like Jin Shu in our school. They may not be so outstanding, but they are also excellent enough! " Chapter 110 The Death of the Male and Female Protagonists in the 1980s (36)
By the way, other outstanding students in the school were also brought in to promote the event.
Jin Yin stood in the middle of the crowd, listening to the people around her praising what Jin Shu had done, as if she were a great general who was expanding the territory and was being admired by everyone.
Jin Yin watched everything in front of her coldly.
"Jin Yin, why don't you go over? The principal is calling you. You can appear on TV."
"There's nothing to show. Is it necessary to show your face just to take advantage of others?"
"It's good to have some light to touch. It's so tiring to carry it all the time. If you don't go, I will."
A few students gathered aside and talked in low voices.
"If it weren't for her father being the dean, she wouldn't have had the chance to show off with her current grades. I heard that she is also running a clothing store now. Her family spent a lot of money to rent a store for her. Her name is...what's her name...Yin Yin."
"Where is it? I've never seen it before."
"It's on the street where the Jinhe store is located. Ever since the Jinhe and Foreign Trade Mall stores opened on that street, the prices of shops have gone up.
Now, every inch of land there is worth a lot of money. The annual rent is several thousand yuan, and this is just a small shop.
I heard that our city is planning to turn that street into a commercial center, and the price of shops will be higher in the future."
Buying a house is still an unnecessary thing for most people today.
Nowadays, most citizens receive housing allocated by their work units, and a small number buy houses for their children separately, but in many families, two or even three generations still live under one roof.
The rise in shop prices has been accompanied by a quiet rise in housing prices. A very small number of people have already started buying houses, just like the couple Jin Baosheng and Zhou Yanzhu. They saved money from Jin Shu's factory in the countryside and started looking for houses in the city.
At first Zhou Yanzhu was reluctant. She was reluctant to spend all her savings to buy a house in the city center. It would be better to build a few more houses in the countryside with the money. After all, it doesn't matter where you live.
But there was no way, she trusted Jin Shu and was quite obedient.
There are four other people in the family who are as obedient as her.
Jin Baosheng, and Jin Shu's three younger brothers.
Especially the eldest brother, he is already sixteen years old, which is the age to find a job and a wife. The current savings of the Jin family are enough for him to buy a good house in the town, marry a beautiful wife with a stable job, and live a life that everyone envies.
But now the whole family has emptied their savings to buy a house in the city and start all over again. The girls in the city are not only picky but also have higher requirements. From the perspective of the country people, the Jin family is just being foolish by doing this.
Unable to live a stable life, he insisted on moving to the city. It doesn't matter where he lives. The money that could have been used to buy houses and marry wives for his three sons has now been exchanged for a house in the city. Anyone who sees this would think he is stupid.
But there was nothing that could be done. The whole family was stupid and the head of the family, Jin Baosheng, had made up his mind. The three sons had no objection and, on the contrary, were very supportive.
"The Jin family is being stupid. I heard that the factory earned tens of thousands of dollars and used it all to buy a house in the city. It's just one house! Even if it has a yard, so what? Then will the three brothers have to live together in the future?"
"It was such a good family, so many girls wanted to marry into it. But now, any girl wants to live with her brother-in-law. The girls in the city will definitely look down on her. I think the three boys in this family will have to remain single!"
"What can't you do with tens of thousands of dollars? Oh! How foolish! There are also people in my wife's village who have a monthly income of 10,000 yuan. They used the money to build a big house, bought a motorcycle, and married their son to an elementary school teacher!
Look, they are living a real life! They will enjoy happiness for the rest of their lives!"
Amidst all the discussions, the Jin family still bought a house with a yard in the city center. The yard covered an area of more than 300 square meters. Because the other party was in a hurry to sell the house and the total price was too high, they lowered the average price. In the end, they still had some money left for decoration after buying it.
After buying the house, because they were not old enough, Jin Shu bought many houses and shops in their name.
Basically, as long as she has spare money, Jin Shu will go to different places to look for properties. The current location is not the most important. As long as the price is right, she will buy it.
For the next half year, Zhou Yanzhu looked at the box full of property ownership certificates, sorted them out as usual, then closed the box and stuffed it into the safe given by Jin Shu.
This is my daughter's dowry and must be kept well.
During her senior year of high school, Jin Shu became busy with various competitions, and most of the store affairs were left to Xiao Wang.
Currently, Xiao Wang is the vice president of the company. He is much more proficient in the company's business than Jin Shu. Moreover, under Jin Shu's pressure, Xiao Wang can now communicate fluently with foreigners and can fully handle overseas business.
When he returned to the company that day, Xiao Wang came to Jin Shu's desk mysteriously.
"Do you know who I met in France yesterday?"
"who?"
"Lu Xu! He was the idle man in our village. He didn't work and just wandered around. The elders in the village said he was lazy. Jin Yin was even engaged to him."
Afraid that Jin Shu would forget, she emphasized it again.
"You know each other. You watched a movie together before and chatted."
"I didn't say I don't remember. Just meet me when I see you."
There's no need to make such a fuss.
"France! I saw him at the drinking party! He was sitting at the head table! Isn't that shocking enough!"
Jin Shu still looked calm as she looked at her.
"If you can go, why can't he?"
"I... I am relying on you, but who can he rely on? Jin Yin was about to marry him, but when she found out that I was from the city, she dumped him without hesitation.
If you knew now that Lu Xu had become the boss of a foreign trade company, would you regret it?"
Jin Shu looked at the documents in her hand with a calm tone.
"Whether you regret it or not is other people's business."
"Oh, I see you're not curious about these things at all, making me look like a mean person who talks about others behind their backs."
"Oh, so what were you doing?"
"…"
Jin Shu always has a way to make the talkative Xiao Wang shut up completely.
—
Lu Xu and Xiao Wang came back on the same flight. The person who was just mentioned by Xiao Wang during the day took the initiative to invite Jin Shu to dinner in the evening, which surprised Jin Shu a little.
She hadn't seen Lu Xu for a long time. The two had no contact since their first collaboration in the village.
Jin Shu really didn't expect that he would take the initiative to invite her this time.
In the newly opened Southeast Asian restaurant, Jin Shu looked at the man in a suit in front of her. She hadn't seen him for two years, and he seemed to have changed a lot. Compared with the lazy young man before, he now looked more like a successful person who had experienced many ups and downs.
He has an introverted, calm and reserved temperament. The only thing that remains unchanged is his eyes that hide a casual smile, which left a deep impression on Jin Shu. "It's not easy to invite you to dinner. Boss Jin is busy with his career now. Do you still remember me, your fellow villager?"
"Remember, you helped me, of course I remember you."
Jin Shu is not an ungrateful person. Strictly speaking, Lu Xu's initial help saved her at least two or three years of detours, and she got to know the boss, which allowed her career to develop rapidly in a short period of time.
So Jin Shu remembered Lu Xu's favor, even though she had paid him, but everyone knew that the money she gave was not much at all.
"Boss Jin is still as businesslike as before. The college entrance examination is coming soon, right? I feel like time is passing very slowly, but now I see that you are still a child in school.
You are amazing, I admire you from the bottom of my heart."
Jin Shu nodded.
"So you invited me to dinner this time to reminisce about the past."
"You can understand it this way. I hope we can be friends. I'm in foreign trade, and you want to expand overseas markets, right? Let's cooperate and achieve a win-win situation."
Jin Shu took a sip of juice and looked at him quietly.
Of course, she had no reason to refuse the cooperation that came to her actively, but with Lu Xu's current status, he could look for domestic companies with longer history and deeper background to cooperate with, instead of actively looking for cooperation with her, a new clothing brand.
"I'd love for Boss Lu to work with us. Since we're from the same hometown, we shouldn't be so reserved. If Boss Lu has any requests, please let us know as soon as possible. We can exchange benefits. If possible, I should also show my sincerity."
"Sincerity?"
Lu Xu's body slowly leaned forward, and his voice suddenly became much softer amid the soothing music.
"I've always been worried that I might have done something wrong and seemed too presumptuous. Since you like to be straightforward, I won't hide anything.
Jin Shu, I have always liked you. If you plan to find a partner after you get into college, I hope you can consider me first. "
When Lu Xu spoke, he looked directly at Jin Shu's face from beginning to end, with a sincere attitude and serious expression.
Jin Shu looked at his face, and after a moment of trance, she suddenly laughed softly.
"Sorry, I don't plan to find a partner."
"Why are you so sure? You are still young, how can you be sure about the future?"
Jin Shu shook her head, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, then stood up and pushed the chair back.
"Thank you. This meal is on my table. I have something else to do at school so I'll go back first."
Walking out of the restaurant, Lu Xu stretched out his long legs and easily caught up with Jin Shu.
"I regret that I shouldn't have expressed my selfish motives so early. We can continue to cooperate as friends and benefit each other."
"Although Jin He is young, he can indeed soar to great heights if someone helps him, but if you give me time, I will achieve what I want.
As for Mr. Lu's support as a fellow townsman, I am very grateful, but I still hope that we can discuss cooperation in the future when we are truly equal in strength.
Boss Lu, there is no need to see me off. Go back now."
Looking at the faint smile on Jin Shu's face, the coldness and alienation like smoke and mist reminded him of that night two years ago again.
He thought that since he helped her, he was entitled to her favor, but in the end he was ruthlessly rejected.
Two years later, he had obtained wealth and status that ordinary people could not achieve, but he made the same mistake again. Of course, he felt that he deserved to be treated like this by Jin Shu.
Isn't this equivalent to exchanging resources for a girl's love?
If Jin Shu agreed, he would feel that it was unlike her.
"Jin Shu, Jin Shu, I apologize to you. I drank a little and I was a little drunk."
Mr. Lu, who was once admired and flattered by others, now acts like a young boy, nervous and even impatient to explain himself.
Jin Shu kept walking.
"You don't need to explain to me. I won't consider you no matter what you look like."
Wasn't it enough that she was hurt by a bastard? Jin Shu must have been kicked in the head by a donkey to reconsider accepting a man.
People in this world are so cold and indifferent. She has seen this clearly after living for tens of thousands of years.
She sees things clearly, thinks things thoroughly, and acts naturally and decisively.
Lu Xu was shameless and followed her all the way to the school gate.
He knew that Jin Shu bought a house here and had been living here recently.
"I'm home now."
"I'm home, too."
Lu Xu pointed to the newly built building opposite.
"I've been developing a new industry recently, called real estate. This community is a joint investment between me and others, and you bought two units in it. I know all this."
"Do you know what privacy is?"
"I'm the person in charge, and there aren't many people buying houses. If you bought two at once, I would remember it even if it was someone else, let alone you.
I also like the houses here, so I kept one as well."
Although Lu Xu was wearing a suit, he seemed to have turned into the idle boy in the village again, laughing and undisciplined, like a wild cat with sharp claws, who had a sharp temperament but no seriousness at all.
"How about this, if you don't want to do foreign trade with me, then invest in real estate with me. Many people are not optimistic about this field, and I can't get any investment, and I'm short of money.
You think about it, we can cooperate to set up a company. "
After spending more than an hour with him, only this sentence successfully made Jin Shu look at him straight in the eye.
Her eyes were shining, and Lu Xu couldn't help but want to laugh. He knew she was interested.
"How much do you need?"
"Of course the more the better. It is cost-effective to buy land now, and the country also strongly supports it."
"Can."
"You agreed so readily? Don't you need to do some research?"
Jin Shu shook her head.
"I have been investigating for a long time. Houses are very important to people in our country. This industry will develop very well in the future, but I don't know the specific operation process of this industry. Now you provide the technology and I provide the money. We can cooperate."
As Lu Xu looked at Jin Shu, the smile in his eyes grew deeper and deeper.
Under the street light, Jin Shu was shrouded in the tall shadow of the man, making her figure appear even slimmer.
Students who had finished their classes came and went and saw this scene.
Jin Shu is a celebrity in the school and everyone in the school knows her, so when people saw her talking to a young man under the lamp, it naturally aroused the curiosity of many people.
"Who is that man? He's dressed like a boss."
"Who else could be acquainted with Jin Shu but the boss? He looks quite young, so his ancestors must be rich."
Coincidentally, Jin Yin also saw it. She was a little unsure at first, but when she saw the face of the person under the light clearly, she couldn't help but feel a little flutter in her heart.
It was Lu Xu!
The person she would never forget in her life!
In her previous life, she was bewitched by his face and dropped out of school early to marry him. He looked prosperous and wealthy, but she didn't expect that he was actually penniless! Chapter 112 The Death of the Male and Female Protagonists in the 1980s (38)
Their marriage is a mess, and with the huge gap between fantasy and reality, Jin Yin is unwilling to spend her life like this.
Finally, she chose to escape and followed a foreign businessman to a big city. However, she was cheated out of everything by the businessman and returned to the countryside in disgrace. By then, Lu Xu was no longer in the village.
No one knew where he went.
Jin Yin was certain that he had become a homeless man. By then, he might have been wandering the streets or had died in a foreign land. In short, marrying him was the most wrong decision Jin Yin had ever made. She regretted it and fantasized countless times that if she could live her life over again, she would never stay in that small place and waste her life.
God has mercy on her, she was really reborn, and she even knew her true identity!
Jin Yin was still in shock, she was impatient and ecstatic to find her biological parents. After successfully recognizing her biological parents, she immediately escaped from the suffering place in her previous life.
Life in the city was so wonderful. She sat in a clean classroom, surrounded by children from wealthy families in the big city. She had endless opportunities and would never go back to her previous life no matter what.
In her dreams at midnight, she also thought of the man Lu Xu.
He was a complete liar and she hated him to the core.
But there is one thing she cannot deny even if she is reborn, that is Lu Xu is a very charming man. He is humorous, cheerful and sunny, and his rather deceptive face makes him a famous handsome boy in the surrounding area.
Jin Yin was confused by his face.
I was once confused by it, and now, two years later, when I watch it again, I still get distracted for a moment.
Lu Xu, why is he here? Why is he with Jin Shu?
Where did he get this set of clothes? Was it given by Jin Shu?
Could it be that he is now relying on Jin Shu for support?
Or was Jin Shu also deceived by this cunning man?
There are only these two possibilities. Judging from the situation, Jin Shu is most likely cheated.
Jin Yin sneered in her heart.
Hasn't Jin Shu always been praised as a genius? Now the genius is about to be deceived. Does she know it?
"Yin Yin, look, Jin Shu seems to have a boyfriend."
"Well, maybe."
"That guy is really good-looking, like a movie star, but she's still in school, isn't it too early for her to date?"
"It's none of our business. Just go ahead and talk. I think the guy is not bad. He's very handsome."
Why should we stop them? These two people were supposed to be a couple. Her life was ruined by Lu Xu in her previous life. What's wrong with torturing someone else in this life?
However, she didn't know what she was thinking. After class, she didn't rush home, but stood aside and watched silently.
When Jin Shu turned and left, and Lu Xu was the only one left under the light, the man's tall and straight figure looked very much like green pines and bamboos, and his harmless face had smooth contours and delicate features.
After a long time, Jin Yin couldn't help but keep her eyes on him.
It would be great if he wasn't a liar, and it would be even better if he had a good family background like Chu Dong.
Unfortunately, Jin Yin knew better than anyone that apart from this face and body, he had nothing else.
"Lu Xu."
Jin Yin took the initiative to step forward, trying hard to control her inner emotions and maintain superficial calm.
Lu Xu was smoking. When he heard someone talking behind him, he put out his cigarette and turned around slowly.
Jin Yin looked at his face and her heart couldn't help but beat wildly.
"Do you remember me?"
"Um, what's up?"
Jin Yin smiled, raised her chin and stood straight, maintaining the temperament and dignity of a local.
She reminded herself that no matter how gorgeously Lu Xu packaged himself, he was just a poor man with a shabby interior. She should not have any illusions, nor did she need to show him much kindness.
"It's been a while. I just got out of class and saw you standing here, waiting for someone? Are you free? My shop is next to it. We used to be friends. We can sit down and chat."
Jin Yin knew that Lu Xu liked her, otherwise they would not have become a family in their previous life.
"No, I don't have time."
Seeing Lu Xu turning around and about to leave, Jin Yin chased after him and stood in front of him to stop him.
"Are you blaming me for leaving without saying goodbye? I wrote you a letter. Did you receive it?"
"received."
"Then you should know what I think after reading the content."
"I didn't bother to open it. Do you have anything else to do? It's dark and there are not many people around. Don't let people misunderstand."
After saying that, Lu Xu strode forward again.
Jin Yin was stunned for a few seconds, then subconsciously followed him and asked him again.
"Didn't you see? You lied to me and you're still blaming me. If I hadn't come to town, I would have married you."
Lu Xu curled his lips and smiled slightly.
"Yeah, it doesn't matter who marries me. If it's not you, it will be someone else. I just needed someone to marry me at that time."
Lu Xu did not hide anything and told the truth directly.
"My grandmother was dying, and her only wish was to see me start a family, so I needed someone to marry.
I don't force others, and I certainly won't force you."
"So you are... married now?"
"Not really."
There was nothing I could do. I fell in love with a girl, but before I had the chance to pursue her, my grandmother passed away.
At that time, Lu Xu knew that he was not strong enough, so after settling his grandmother's funeral, he left the village and went to a coastal city to work hard with a friend with whom he had a good relationship at the time.
The truth was revealed before her, and Jin Yin couldn't accept it.
She didn't want to believe that she was just an insignificant person to Lu Xu.
"You lied to me?"
"What did I lie to you about?"
"You...you...have nothing, yet you tricked me into thinking you were well off!"
Lu Xu looked calm.
"I haven't said anything and haven't done anything. You imagined what kind of person I am, and now you find out that I'm different from what you imagined, and you blame me for lying to you?
Oh, what a joke."
Jin Yin reached out to pull his arm, but Lu Xu dodged it easily. He took big steps and had no intention of waiting for Jin Yin.
"Lu Xu, people like you will never achieve anything in this life. You want to curry favor with Jin Shu to live a good life? What a joke! Don't you know who Jin Shu curried favor with to get to where she is today?"
The man stopped, his eyes cold.
"You can eat whatever you want, but don't say whatever you want."
Jin Yin was so frightened by his eyes that her whole body trembled. Her heart felt empty and sour. When she looked at Lu Xu, she felt hatred and resentment in her heart.
"Everyone knows that Jin Shu is fawning over the boss of a garment factory! She herself relies on others, and you still want to rely on her? Be careful if the boss behind you finds out, you will die without knowing how you died!"
Lu Xu's face darkened, his eyes, which always contained a smile, were now cold, and his voice became extremely stiff.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll make sure you won't be able to utter a single word in your life."
(End of this chapter) Chapter 113 The Death of the Male and Female Protagonists in the 1980s (39)
The man's eyes were sinister, a look Jin Yin had never seen before.
In her impression, Lu Xu should be lazy and casual. He seemed to care about nothing and had no interest in anything. He was a real lazy man.
But at this time he became a stranger, a person that Jin Yin did not recognize.
"Don't follow me. My patience is limited."
"You are just a lazy country bumpkin. Why should I follow you? Don't let your imagination run wild!"
Jin Yin turned around and left in anger.
When she got home, she lay on the table and cried for a while.
Why is she crying? She doesn't know either.
I feel empty inside as if I have lost something very important.
It's not that she didn't think about living a good life with Lu Xu the year she married him, but he was too poor. Although he had so many powerful friends, he had no ambition and had no intention of making friends with them.
Jin Yin was so disappointed that she watched Lu Xu's friends become successful and make a fortune, but he was still idle all day long, relying on going out with his friends from time to time to bring back some household expenses.
In fact, life was not that poor at that time. She had food and shelter, and Lu Xu never asked her to do any work. She only had to take care of herself every day.
The women in the village envied her, but she could only see those who lived better than herself.
In fact, Lu Xu is not bad either.
Be gentle and patient with her and never ask her to do anything.
If she had chosen Lu Xu...
No, she can't choose a man with no future again. Chu Dong is a good person, with a good family background and strong background. Although he is not as good-looking as Lu Xu and his temper is not as good as his, he is the only one who can give her the life she really wants.
Thinking of this, Jin Yin wiped away her tears. Since she couldn't sleep, she would work hard to get what she wanted.
With the support of the Chu family, her shop gradually grew in size.
The Chu family was attracted by her family background as a teacher and intended to train her as their daughter-in-law.
Jin Yin had long taken it for granted that she would be the boss lady of Chu's company in the future. In the past two years, she and Chu Dong had always been together. The whole school knew about their relationship, and the teachers turned a blind eye to it.
In the evening, Jin Yin knocked on Chu Dong's door.
She walked in familiarly, took off her coat and sat on Chu Dong's bed.
Between the two people, everything that should and shouldn't have happened happened.
It was the same tonight, and the two leaned against the bed after they finished.
Chu Dong looked at her coldly.
"Who are you absentmindedly thinking about?"
"No one thought of that. I want to open a branch. Please help me."
"Do you think opening a store is like buying cabbage? Where's the money? Do you have money?"
"You do. I will be your wife in the future. Isn't it your duty as a husband to give me money?"
Chu Dong pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled.
"Haven't I spent enough money on you over the years? It's too expensive to marry a daughter-in-law like you. It's not worth it."
"What do you think I am? A good deal? What do you think I am?"
"Don't you know what you are? You always ask me for money after you're done. Who do you think you are?
Jin Yin, you give yourself face. You don't have any shame yourself, and you still expect me to give you face?
If you want to spend our family's money, don't be so stubborn. I'll be happy if you kneel down. If I'm happy, I might even give you money."
The slap was loud and crisp.
Chu Dong had never been beaten in his life, but now he was suddenly beaten like this. How could he bear it and he slapped the man with his backhand.
(End of this chapter) This slap was full of anger and venting. Soon, Jin Yin's face was swollen, and the complete slap mark was enough to show how much strength Chu Dong used.
She lay prone on the bed, the world spinning, and she looked at Chu Dong with hatred.
This wasn't the first time Chu Dong had hit her, but it was the first time he had lost his temper after being gentle with her.
"What's wrong? If you can't stand it, you can go away."
Chu Dong was fearless, with a cigarette in his mouth. His face no longer had the handsome look of his youth. On the contrary, his eyes were full of shrewdness and cruelty, without a trace of affection.
"Chu Dong, you beast!"
"Okay, then don't ask a beast like me for money anymore! Get out of my house!"
"We're fucked!"
"Heh...don't come begging me then."
Seeing Chu Dong's nonchalant smile, Jin Yin's heart felt as if it was cut by a knife.
"You haven't liked me for a long time. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You like Jin Shu, right?
I'm telling you, Jin Shu is already dating someone, there's no chance for you in this life or the next!"
When Chu Dong heard this, his originally cynical expression instantly turned serious and fierce.
"Date? Who? How could I not know that she is dating someone? Jin Yin, you are lying without blinking an eye, right?"
Jin Yin suddenly smiled with tears on her face.
"Sure enough, you like Jin Shu! What's so good about her? She shouldn't have been here in the first place!"
If only she hadn't been taken away by mistake, she wouldn't have to endure all this unnecessary pressure and pain!
"She's a hundred times better than you! She should have been my wife, and now that you've taken advantage of her, just be happy!
Get out of here, I'm upset when I see you."
Chu Dong no longer looks like a young man. He has no patience towards Jin Yin and every word he says is heartbreaking.
For Jin Yin, staying out all night was a common occurrence, but this was the first time she came back crying in the middle of the night.
Liao Lin was already exhausted.
She had to endure the pressure of ridicule from teachers and classmates at school, and she still felt uneasy at home.
Looking at Jin Yin who was sitting on the sofa and crying silently, Liao Lin sighed.
"What happened again?"
"Mom, how much money is left at home?"
"Why are you asking this? When you first opened the store, all the money from your family was given to you. How can you have any money now?"
"What about your monthly salary? Didn't my dad get a bonus? Where is the money? Mom? Are you guys on guard against me?"
At this time, Zhao Huaijing also came out wearing clothes.
"What are you fussing about? Don't you think you've made enough jokes? Why do you want money again? How much money do we have at home to make you spend?"
"I want to open a branch. I've found a shop I'd like to rent. The location is great. If I don't hurry up, someone else will grab it first!"
The "others" Jin Yin mentioned is Jin Shu.
That piece of land is a commercial center that has just been transformed into a key development area. It has a prime location and a large flow of people. Most importantly, not many people know the inside information.
This was the news she learned when she eavesdropped on the Chu family's conversation.
So she was eager to book the shop quickly.
"Believe me, this time we will make a lot of money."
"You are not needed to make money at home, and the Chu family has also made it clear that you just need to study hard.
Yinyin, there is no need to be so hard on yourself. We are not suitable for doing business, so we should just be honest and down-to-earth and follow the path that ordinary people should take."
Liao Lin was exhausted both physically and mentally.
She thought more than once how nice it would be if this mistake could continue to be made.
In this way, Yin Yin can stay in the countryside, perhaps get into college and find a stable job.
There is no need to be so ambitious and dream of reaching the sky in one step like we are doing now.
"What do you mean by the path that ordinary people should take? Why am I an ordinary person? In your opinion, am I not even as good as Jin Shu's finger?
I am your biological daughter! How am I inferior to her? You spent so much money and more than ten years to train her!
I just spent a little, and you feel bad? Well, can I just lend it to you? I'll write you an IOU!"
Seeing Jin Yin's almost insane appearance, Liao Lin covered his mouth and shed tears.
Zhao Huaijing yelled in annoyance.
"You are satisfied with just draining us out of our pockets! Why did I give birth to a debt collector like you?"
This is the bloodline of his Zhao family!
"If you hadn't helped Jin Shu back then, do you think she would have achieved what she has now?
You treat other people's daughters with all your heart, but you are suspicious and wary of me, your own daughter. If you didn't want me, why did you exchange me back? You might as well just leave me in the countryside to eat and wait for death!"
Zhao Huaijing was so angry that his chest was heaving violently and his face was flushed red.
Two years ago, Jin Yin was accused of malicious reporting. If he hadn't shamelessly asked others for help, given gifts and flattered her, he would have been able to save her in the end.
Now, this girl is biting back and is even crying here that she is biased?
Zhao Huaijing was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped Jin Yin.
"How could I have a daughter like you!"
Jin Yin looked at Zhao Huaijing, her red eyes gleaming coldly and filled with resentment.
Finally she got the money.
The couple was almost bankrupt. They sold a house they had invested in and scraped together 5,000 yuan.
When Jin Yin got the money, she didn't feel the slightest bit of gratitude. She felt resentful and aggrieved, so she took the money and quickly rented the shop.
Once this street becomes prosperous, her business will surely flourish.
With such hope in mind, Jin Yin mortgaged her first shop and borrowed money from the bank to purchase goods.
During this period, she devoted herself to her business, which caused her grades to plummet. She dropped from Class 1 to Class 7, and then to Class 9 after the first mock exam before the college entrance examination.
There are only ten classes in the entire senior year.
What does Class 9 mean?
Not to mention getting into a university, even getting into a junior college in this city is difficult!
Jin Yin also gets anxious, but she knows how to comfort herself.
Academic qualifications are the most insignificant thing to her. Anyway, she will marry Chu Dong in the future, have no worries about food and drink, and own hundreds of stores across the country.
In addition, she now has her own business, so even if she doesn't go to college, she can still make a lot of money. Isn't this a hundred times better than those classmates who worked hard for four years in college and finally got a fixed salary?
In short, studying is the investment with the lowest return.
This sentence was said by Chu Dong.
Jin Yin agreed with this.
In the final second simulation, she was directly admitted to Class Ten.
Class 10 is struggling to get into junior college.
The whole class was a little shocked when they saw Jin Yin. After all, in their impression, Jin Yin was the director's daughter and had excellent grades.
How come I'm in the same class with them now?
Jin Shu, who once walked out of their class, now sits firmly at the top of the class. Chapter 115 The Death of the Male and Female Protagonists in the 1980s (41)
In addition, he won the first prize in the National Mathematics League and I heard that he has been admitted to the top university in advance.
In the eyes of most students in the school, Jin Shu has become a legendary figure.
Everyone assumed that she was number one and a genius, so when the news came out that Jin Shu's company had opened branches overseas, everyone just exclaimed in amazement for a short while, then calmed down and felt that it was reasonable.
The huge gap made Jin Yin feel anxious.
Her store is doing good business. After all, she has Chu's support. Plus, she is best at finding inspiration from foreign haute couture, so the clothes she designs are sought after by many people.
But that's not enough.
Jin Yin also wants to set up her own company.
This was stopped by Chu Dong without hesitation.
"I asked you to do it for fun, but you took it seriously? Setting up a company? Our Chu family's ready-made enterprise can't accommodate a great god like you?"
Of course Jin Yin didn't listen to him.
In her opinion, Chu Dong said this simply because he wanted to continue to enslave her free labor.
After all, many of Chu's new products were produced by her, and they had good sales. Now that she was going to start her own business, Chu was naturally panicked.
This is exactly what Jin Yin wants to see.
What is Chu's? With the development of the times, Chu's ready-made clothes have long been out of fashion. They have gone from being luxury goods to unsalable goods that can be seen everywhere.
With outdated styles, useless marketing, and backward management systems, and the influx of a large number of foreign clothing brands, Chu's business has already declined.
This can be seen from the changes in the Chu family's house.
The villa was replaced with a western-style building, the number of servants and nannies was cut in half, and there was only one car left, which was exclusively for Mr. Chu's use.
As the Chu family is on the verge of death, they can only try their best to reuse Jin Yin's design.
The slightly improved sales helped Jin Yin's status in the Chu family rise, but not long after the sales started to improve, Jin Yin started a new business and secretly registered a company.
When Chu Dong found out, he was furious. He rushed to Zhao's house and started fighting with Jin Yin in front of Liao Lin and Zhao Huaijing.
Now that she has the confidence, Jin Yin will no longer endure in silence.
Chu Dong's face was covered with bloody marks from being scratched, and he uttered some harsh words before leaving.
"I will kill you sooner or later! Just wait!"
Liao Lin cried and wanted to call the police, but Jin Yin stopped him.
"No need to call the police. The Chu family has my share. Don't worry about what happens between Chu Dong and me before you get my share."
"Are you waiting for him to beat you again?"
"What's wrong with him hitting me? He hit me and I still knew to give me money, what about you?!"
"I think you've gone crazy!"
Liao Lin completely collapsed.
"Your father and I won't care whether you live or die from now on!"
"Oh, then don't expect me to control you in the future."
It's just right. I was waiting for Liao Lin to say this. I can get rid of two burdens that are of no use to me and spend less money on retirement in the future.
Anyway, she has rented a house outside, and when the company makes money, she will buy herself a bigger house.
All enterprises in the city are invited to participate in the Linjiang City Business Expo.
Jin Yin also received an invitation.
That night she dressed up and arrived at the expo. After taking her seat, she suddenly saw a familiar figure not far away.
It was Lu Xu. He was sitting at the main seat at the front table, chatting and laughing with a foreigner next to him.
How come he is here?
Brought by Jin Shu?
What about Jin Shu?
Jin Yin looked around but couldn't find Jin Shu.
Just when she was wondering, she heard a familiar laugh. She turned around suddenly and saw a woman in a black dress.
The woman was holding a red wine glass in her hand and chatting and laughing with a boss opposite. Her black hair was piled up high, revealing a familiar yet unfamiliar face.
Perhaps it was because Jin Yin's gaze was too intense, Zhou Yanzhu, who was chatting with someone else, noticed it and turned back. The moment she saw her face, Jin Yin almost had the cup in her hand grabbed.
Zhou Yanzhu in front of her was confident, generous, young, and exquisite. She exuded the aura of wealth from head to toe. Her originally sallow and tired face was now delicate and smooth, and she looked like she had returned to her youth. If Jin Yin was not too familiar with Zhou Yanzhu, she would even suspect that she had recognized the wrong person.
"You...how come you..."
Zhou Yanzhu walked over with a cup in hand, her smile still on her face.
"How come you learned to drink? Are you here alone?"
"Um... who are you with?"
"Oh, Shushu went on a business trip abroad, so I came to attend the meeting on her behalf. I had no choice. My family was too busy, and I was the only one who had nothing to do all day, so I shamelessly came here."
Idle all day...
The smile on Zhou Yanzhu's face never disappeared when she spoke. The calmness and confidence that emanated from her bones was inseparable from her superior living conditions and solid family background.
She now still looks like the country woman she once was. Jin Yin looked at her and thought of Liao Lin's now fifty-year-old hair and haggard face. She suddenly felt a tightness in her chest.
She had so much to say, but now facing Zhou Yanzhu, she couldn't say anything.
"What's wrong? Do you think I've changed so much that you can't recognize me?"
Jin Yin stiffened her neck and nodded slowly.
"Hahaha... a lot of people say that. Last year, Shushu took me abroad to see the world. The beauty hospitals abroad are amazing. I only did skin care for half a year, and the difference is so great!
Hahahaha, I said I wouldn't do it, but Jin Shu bought the beauty salon directly, and... gave it to me to be the boss. How could I manage all this? I just went for it.
Hahahaha, Yinyin, when will you take your mom to travel abroad and have beauty treatments in my shop? "
Jin Yin stood there in a daze. Zhou Yanzhu opposite her was clearly talking, but she could not hear a word. All she could hear were bursts of joyful laughter, which gradually became harsh and hurt her ears like a knife.
"Mom, can you please stop talking about other people when you see me?"
Zhou Yanzhu looked at her and then smiled helplessly.
"Then who should I talk about? If I don't talk about my daughter, who else can I talk about?"
Jin Yin lowered her head and subconsciously bit her lips, her whole body shaking uncontrollably.
Zhou Yanzhu used to love her the most, but when she spoke to her now, she was like a guest, and there was a sense of alienation in her words. It was as if there was an invisible wall between the two of them. Zhou Yanzhu inside the wall was high and mighty, while outside the wall she was like a poor beggar.
"As expected, a rich girl is definitely better than a poor girl like me. Ms. Zhou Yanzhu, my mother is not the kind of person who worships foreign things. Foreign countries are so good, you should stay abroad in the future and come back to our country less often."
(End of this chapter) Chapter 116 The 1980s: The Death of the Male and Female Protagonists (42)
The smile on Zhou Yanzhu's face froze.
But she had a good attitude, and she didn't have much hope for her daughter, so she smiled nonchalantly.
"Shushu said that earning money abroad and spending it at home is the true way to be patriotic."
Jin Yin never thought that one day she would be treated like this by her mother.
She clearly didn't say anything, but every word weighed heavily on her heart. The two people who loved her the most in the past were both here, but now the way they looked at her was extremely strange, as if... they really treated her as a stranger.
After the meeting, Jin Yin could only sit far away at the door because her company was not qualified enough. During the meeting, Zhou Yanzhu sat on the stage as a special guest. She spoke calmly and confidently to the cameras of the news media.
This is not the most difficult thing for Jin Yin to accept.
During the speeches of the young entrepreneurs, when she saw Lu Xu, who was worth tens of millions, speaking on stage as a representative, she felt as if the whole world was spinning and her ears were filled with unbearable tinnitus. She felt as if she was in a terrible nightmare and could not wake up no matter how she pinched her arms.
She was in a trance throughout the whole process, and people around her who spoke to her could only get her nonchalant responses.
At this time, some suppliers not far away saw her like this and couldn't help but frown.
"Are you sure you want to cooperate with that girl? She doesn't look very reliable."
"Forget it, forget it. I just heard that she and Chu broke up. Who would dare to have anything to do with her without Chu's backing?"
After the meeting, Jin Yin couldn't wait to walk to the front of the stage. She wanted to talk to Lu Xu. She wanted to know what Lu Xu had done in the two years she was away.
Why did he transform from a poor and mediocre young man into the business elite he is today, and why was he poor for so long in his previous life?
But before she could get close, Lu Xu was surrounded by a group of people. The man stood in the middle of the crowd with a calm temperament, chatting casually. Jin Yin didn't even have the chance to say a word to him.
She shouted.
"Lu Xu!"
Many people turned around.
"Mr. Lu, is this your friend?"
Lu Xu just glanced at her indifferently, then looked away and shook his head.
"I know him, but I'm not familiar with him."
Oh, another person who wants to get close to others.
Naturally, no one would give Jin Yin any face now, leaving her no room at all.
In the end, Jin Yin watched Lu Xu being escorted away. She stared at his back, gritted her teeth and trembled all over.
If only God could give her another chance.
She will definitely seize the opportunity and never let it slip away.
If only she could wake up and go back to that countryside like she did in her previous life, she would definitely seize every opportunity like Jin Shu did, and she would definitely do better than Jin Shu.
Since God gave her one chance, why can't he give her a second one?
Jin Yin was thinking in a daze. She returned to the store in a daze, looked at the empty store, and then looked at the two sales clerks who happened to be chatting. An uncontrollable rage surged up in her.
"I asked you to come and work! Who told you to be lazy here?! It's all because of you that our business is so bad!
Look at the salesmen in the Jinhe store, and then look at you! This month, ten yuan will be deducted from all of your wages..."
"Still deducting? Are you planning to make us work for you for nothing?
You're comparing us to Jinhe. The monthly salary of a salesperson in Jinhe is almost equal to what we make in half a year. And you still want us to be as responsible and dedicated as them?
Boss, why don't you try to increase our salary? We are definitely doing better than Jinhe's employees!"
"Are you qualified? If you can do it, do it. If you can't, leave!"
"Just go, tch."
The three of them really picked up their bags and left without any hesitation, leaving Jin Yin alone to face the empty store and go crazy.
—
"Jin Shu, come and read this news and see who the protagonist is."
Xiao Wang excitedly stuffed the newspaper into Jin Shu's hand, and without caring whether she would read it or not, he pointed directly at the picture in the newspaper.
"Did you see it? This is Chu's store!"
"Yeah, I see."
When Jin Shu was just starting out in her career, the Chu family did a lot of things to hinder her, but fortunately, the general trend was unstoppable, and the Chu family began to decline and go downhill without Jin Shu having to do anything.
But before it was just going downhill, and now looking at the news in the newspaper, the Chu family is completely rolling downhill.
"As a big brand in the clothing industry, Chu's actually openly plagiarized foreign works. It would have been fine if it had just copied foreign works, but recently they directly copied the original works of domestic designers and were jointly reported by the designers.
Now it's good, I heard that the compensation is nearly one million."
"so much?"
Jin Shu didn't expect that the punishment for plagiarism in this era would be so severe.
Xiao Wang smiled.
"They are unlucky. It's fine if they just copied, but they copied the country. They printed the national flag on their new clothes. Isn't this courting death?"
"That's true. Would Chu's designer make such a low-level mistake?"
"Chu's designer doesn't know how to do that, but Jin Yin does. She copied foreign styles and adopted the national flag style, but other people used the flag of other countries, while she used her own country's flag directly..."
The most important thing is that what she did was not obvious, but it was finally discovered by the designer who copied it and reported it.
Do you think she has some mental problems?"
Jin Shu looked at the contents of the newspaper.
This time the compensation is a small matter, closing the business is a big matter.
"Yeah, it's good."
"The Chu family will have to pay off their entire fortune, and Jin Yin, as the main person responsible, can't escape."
Jin Shu put down the newspaper and nodded.
Xiao Wang sighed.
"You are too eager for quick success. You didn't even use your brain to copy. Sigh... If Jin Yin had studied hard, you wouldn't have ended up like this."
Mingming had good grades and was admitted to a good university. With the help of his parents' connections, he returned to the school to work. With the support of the Chu family, he would never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of his life. He might not have been able to live a life of luxury, but he was definitely rich and stable.
Soon, the college entrance examination is coming.
As the best high school in the city, the students performed stably. Jin Shu, as a seeded player, finally chose to take the college entrance examination. After obtaining the qualification for college admission in advance, she also achieved the good result of being the provincial champion.
On the day the college entrance examination results were announced, Jin Shu was attending a meeting abroad.
After knowing the results, her attitude was calm.
As expected.
She has twice as much time as others. If she can't even achieve this result, then there must be something wrong with her IQ.
"You are too calm. If someone doesn't know me, they would think I am the top scorer in the college entrance examination!
I saw Jin Yin's results when I was helping you get your results today."
(End of this chapter) Chapter 117 The 1980s: The Death of the Male and Female Protagonists (End)
"She only scored over 300 points, which is over 100 points short of the junior college line. There is no way she can get into university."
Jin Shu on the other end of the phone didn't respond.
International calls are too expensive these days. If Jin Shu didn't have an overseas company, Xiao Wang would never have been able to experience the feeling of talking on the phone with someone on the other side of the ocean.
"Okay, okay, I won't talk to you anymore. It's boring. I heard from your school that many reporters want to interview you. If you don't come back, I will help you turn them down."
Of course Jin Shu didn't have time to go back.
Learning was one of the original owner's wishes, and now that she has completed it, the next thing to do is to fulfill her last wish.
Live a good life.
Jin Shu actually didn't know what kind of day was a good day, so she could only try her best and work hard until she could choose any kind of life she wanted. Then she would have accomplished her mission.
As the business grew bigger, Jin Shu hasn't returned to her hometown for a long time.
Later, her company was listed overseas. As the founder of the company, Jin Shu took a large number of shares and retired to the second line as a director. The annual dividends were enough for her to squander for a lifetime.
At the beginning of the 21st century, Jin Shu returned to China.
At this time, Jinhe has become a well-known luxury brand both at home and abroad. Its products include everything from clothes, shoes and hats to jewelry.
Jin Shu achieved financial freedom in her twenties. She left the place where she had worked for nearly ten years and returned to her original countryside.
This place has changed a lot. There are wide and clean roads leading to all directions. Every household has a small Western-style building with red bricks and green tiles. There are cars parked in the yard. The original farmland has now become a large factory, and almost everyone in the village works here.
This is one of Jinhe's original foundries, and this village is well-known as the richest village in the entire province because two nationally renowned entrepreneurs came from the village.
A Jin Shu, the founder of Jinhe Group, is worth hundreds of millions.
A Lu Xu, the founder of Lu's Foreign Trade Group, worth tens of billions.
Both of them chose to open branches in their hometowns, using them as the center to expand outward, which led to the rapid development of the economy of the entire city.
The Jin family rewrote their genealogy with Jin Shu's name as the first page.
The house where Jin Shu lived in the past is now protected by the village and is open to foreign tourists for visits.
So, when Jin Shu returned to the village, she inexplicably had a feeling that she was clearly alive, but had been dead for a long time.
There are thousands of people in the village, big and small, and even children who have just learned to crawl can pronounce Jin Shu's name, but when she appears in the village in person, few people can recognize her.
Looking at the absurd and funny scene in front of her, Jin Shu remembered that she was like this in her original world. She was revered by the six realms, and inscriptions about her were set up everywhere.
A familiar feeling came over her, and Jin Shu suddenly felt a little bored.
Mission accomplished, what will she do next?
Accompany Zhou Yanzhu and Jin Baosheng to travel around the world, go back to play with her brother's children, and have a meal with Xiao Wang's family.
Xiao Wang got married. His spouse is the vice president of a listed company. The two are a strong match. The video of their wedding day was even on the social news because it was too luxurious.
Soon after getting married, Xiao Wang gave birth to a child. After that, she gradually disappeared from the workplace and, relying on her rich family background, began a life of taking care of her parents and raising her children.
She is still as nagging as ever, no, she is even more nagging than before.
I can talk to Jin Shu all day long.
"Did you know that Chu Dong was arrested? I heard he was sentenced to more than ten years in prison."
"Oh? I don't know."
"I knew you didn't know. Did you know that Chu Dong and Jin Yin were married?"
Jin Shu shook her head.
"Jin Yin's family was nearly ruined by the loss. She borrowed money from a loan shark without telling her family, and the debt collectors came to her house, so her parents sold their house to pay off her debt.
Later I heard that she was pregnant, and the child was Chu Dong's. My God, she got pregnant right after graduation. These two must have done something together a long time ago.
We invited a lot of people to the wedding, but on the day of the wedding, the banquet was empty and almost no one showed up, which was quite a joke.
After that, I thought she would live a peaceful life with Chu Dong, but I didn't expect that she would run away with a foreigner! After disappearing for two years, she came back with a mixed-race girl!
Chu Dong looked for her everywhere, and finally found her and stabbed her with a knife in the street. I heard that the scene was terrible and Jin Yin almost died.
Later, Chu Dong was arrested, and Jin Yin was stabbed several times and no one cared about her. I didn't watch it anymore and secretly paid for her medical expenses."
Speaking of this, Xiao Wang sighed.
At this time she looked at Jin Shu.
"Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if she had stayed in the village. Maybe she could have lived a peaceful life."
"If her personality can't be changed, she will end up the same no matter where she is."
"That's right, let's not talk about her. What are your plans for the future?"
"Go out and see the world."
"Have you finished reading it?"
"After you finish reading, go to the next journey."
Xiao Wang didn't understand, so she couldn't help but persuade him.
"You are so good, why don't you find a partner? Even if we don't get married, I can take care of you. Everyone has minor illnesses and disasters. What will you do when your uncle and aunt are old and you are left alone?"
"When you've lived enough, die.
"Pooh, pooh, pooh! You are always like this. You were so energetic at the beginning, but now you are so depressed!"
Jin Shu just smiled, and Xiao Wang thought she was joking, but in fact that was what she intended.
Because she has so much time, without plans and tasks, she really doesn't know what to do with her life.
"Don't think I'm meddling in your business. What about Lu Xu? He didn't find a partner or get married because he was waiting for you to be in your thirties. Don't you have any feelings for him at all?"
"It's his choice not to get married. It has nothing to do with me. People live for themselves. Don't put a high hat on me.
The most unreliable thing in the world is the love between men and women. If you are willing to fall into the trap, don't drag me along. I am not interested."
"Lu Xu is so pitiful, falling in love with someone as hard-hearted as you."
Of course, Xiao Wang couldn't understand Jin Shu's thoughts.
She just thought it was normal for outstanding people to be attracted to each other, but Jin Shu was like a cold god. Even though she had known her for more than ten years, she still felt like she had never really known her.
Although she is almost thirty years old, Jin Shu still looks as young as she did back then, as if she has never changed.
"It doesn't matter. My son will take care of you in your old age."
"Yes, thank you."
Forget about providing for her retirement, since Jin Shu only lived to the age of 35.
After seeing all the beautiful rivers and mountains, just like before, I will find a place to rest forever, and this life will be considered complete.
When her consciousness was drifting, she seemed to feel someone crying next to her.
Who will cry for her?
(End of this chapter) Chapter 118 The Nine-Leaked Fish Actress is the Queen of Volumes (1)
"Congratulations, you've completed the task again. Do you want to take a rest next?"
When talking to Arnold, Jin Shu's consciousness was wandering. She could not feel the existence of her body. She only felt a chaos in front of her eyes, and the sounds she heard were sometimes far away and sometimes near.
"I've rested long enough."
"You don't have to work so hard. It takes so long. You can take your time. You just need to complete the task before you die. Just like your friend said, you can experience the seven emotions and six desires of different worlds."
"No, I'm not interested."
Although her consciousness was not clear, Jin Shu's soul was still very clear.
She died of hatred due to the pain caused by her emotions. If she had a normal brain, she would never touch these things again.
Arnold smiled. He knew Jin Shu and knew she would answer like that.
"Well, okay, then get ready, we're about to start the next round of adventure."
Jin Shu gave herself up calmly. It felt like a dead leaf hovering on the water. She didn't have to think about anything and just let her body float with the water.
Suddenly, a violent splash of water hit her and she completely lost consciousness.
"Mission completed.
Task evaluation result: excellent.
Tasker: Jin Shu.
Do you want to proceed to the next task: Yes.
Mission is starting...
1, 2, 3, the mission was started successfully and the tasker Jin Shu was loaded successfully.
Forty-eight hours system loaded successfully.
Current time flow rate ratio: 1:1, 48 hours system open. "
—
"You disappoint me so much! I told you the answer in advance, how could you still make such a big fool of yourself!
Jin Shu, I won't say anything about you until you graduate from high school. I thought you at least had a decent face, but now the whole internet is laughing at you for being a loser! What do you want to do if this continues? Do you really want everyone to think that an artist like you can't bring positive influence to people, and then ban you completely? !
Oh my god, how could I, a top student who graduated from a prestigious university, take over an artist like you! You disappoint me so much! "
As soon as Jin Shu woke up, she was scolded.
She slowly opened her eyes. The surrounding environment was a little dim. The only sound in the closed carriage was the woman's complaining and sighing. Her ears felt a little stuffy, and her chest felt very stuffy. She looked down and found that it was because of the clothes she was wearing.
The white skirt was too small. It wrapped her body tightly and made it difficult for her to breathe. When she lowered her eyes and looked down, she could see the beautiful rise and fall of her chest. Jin Shu unzipped the zipper on the side of her clothes without hesitation. In an instant, the feeling of pressure in her lungs disappeared and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"You still know how to sigh? Are you annoyed by me? If you think I'm annoying, then change your agent."
The woman next to her was wearing a hat and a mask, and kept muttering. From her words, Jin Shu could probably guess why she was angry.
But now her memory has not been transmitted yet, silence is the best choice.
The car stopped and the woman walked Jin Shu upstairs, stuffing her a stack of documents before leaving.
"This is the content of tomorrow's interview. Please memorize it. I don't expect you to memorize it all, but at least you can remember it after reading it once. Is that ok? Can you do this little thing?"
Jin Shu nodded.
The other party sighed tiredly, pulled off his mask and turned away.
Jin Shu was the only one left in the cramped and messy room. It could be seen that although the house was small, it was in a good location and should be quite valuable.
Jin Shu felt tired, so she lay down on the sofa in front of the TV and closed her eyes.
When he was drowsy, the original owner's memories were transmitted to him.
This is a novel about the entertainment industry. The heroine Shen Mianyi was originally a fanatical girlfriend fan of the top male protagonist in the entertainment industry. She was accidentally reborn in the body of a female star who was blackened by the entire Internet during a photo shoot.
The heroine was once the biggest black fan of this actress. She thought that the actress was pretentious and a green tea fan. She even deliberately tried to create a couple relationship with the top male lead in front of the whole network. After being rejected by the male lead on the spot, she still did not repent and tried to take advantage of the male lead's popularity everywhere.
After the heroine was reborn in the body of a female star, she quickly made a comeback for the actress who was blackened by the entire network with her cheerful personality, extraordinary eloquence and incredible luck. She had abundant resources and made the top male lead develop a good impression of her during a variety show collaboration.
The relationship between the two people progressed rapidly, and their careers were advancing by leaps and bounds.
As for the original owner, she was a female star friend who was reborn by the heroine.
Without exception, both of them were blacklisted by the entire Internet.
One was accused of being pretentious, artificial and shameless, while the other was accused of being an uneducated and uncultured person.
Because the original owner was more bright and beautiful, even if Jiulouyu was blackened by the entire network, she still had some resources. Before this, the original owner also helped her friends. If she had any variety show resources, she would also ask the investors to reserve a place for her friend.
But what the original owner didn't know was that his good friend had already changed his mind.
In a variety show that was aired just last month, the heroine who was mocked by the entire network for her poor professional ability, relied on her incredible luck to make a comeback and become the MVP of the variety show.
In competitive sports, she cleverly used a game loophole to exploit the game NPC to help her complete the task effortlessly and won first place.
In the quiz, the heroine answered all the questions perfectly and fluently with the golden finger she obtained after her rebirth.
As an invited guest, he successfully trampled the original resident guest on the ground and had no chance of shining.
As the actress's best friend, the original owner was initially delighted by her friend's performance, but soon she could no longer be happy.
Because the top-tier male lead is also one of the invited guests to participate in the program, the original owner Jin Shu has always secretly liked the top-tier male lead, and her female star friends know this better than anyone else.
The original owner knew that it was all just a show when they were trying to ride on the popularity of the couple. The female star's friend had a male artist she liked, and the two of them were already in the ambiguous stage, and they were ready to announce their relationship at any time.
But in the variety show, the friend took advantage of the game to deliberately interact with the top male lead time and time again, and even confessed her love in front of the camera. In the end, the two of them completed the task at the same time, and the friend kissed the top male lead before the camera turned around.
The original owner completely collapsed after seeing this scene.
It doesn't matter if you are overshadowed or dragged down. We are all friends and it is only natural that we achieve mutual success.
But even though the other party knew that she liked the top male protagonist, she still interacted closely with him again and again, and even deliberately told jokes in front of her several times that only the two of them knew.
At this point the original owner couldn't hold it anymore.
Because the original owner just had a low level of education but no mental problems, she had seen the huge changes in her friend recently, and she slowly realized that her friend seemed to have been replaced by another completely stranger.
This discovery made the original owner unable to help but continue digging deeper.
(End of this chapter) Chapter 119 The Nine-Leaked Fish Actress is the Queen of Volumes (2)
This person's mouth is full of popular internet star-chasing memes, she can get along well with fans, and her heart and eyes are full of top-tier male protagonists. No matter what she does, it is to create opportunities to get along with and interact with the top-tier male protagonist. If the male protagonist is injured, she is more worried than his agent.
The original owner was certain that the person occupying his friend's body was another person.
She was angry and sad, and wanted to expose the other party's lies.
But at this time, the resources of the two people have been highly integrated, and these were all given up by the original owners themselves.
The heroine used her resources to step on the original owner's pain points again and again, and gradually achieved self-whitening.
In the variety show that just ended, the guests needed to experience the work of ordinary people firsthand. The heroine drew the identity of a museum guide, which was her original job before her rebirth. She challenged her job as a newcomer, so the final result was naturally amazing.
The original owner chose the same job as the heroine's partner, both of them were museum guides, and they both received two teams of tourists at the same time.
One team was composed of ordinary tourists, while the other was an expert team composed of museum experts.
It was originally for the effect of the show. The two actresses were asked to draw lots to choose. The one who chose the expert group would definitely make a fool of herself. After all, a professional commentator would be showing off her skills in front of the experts.
The heroine asked the original owner to choose first. The original owner stretched out his hand to draw the lot, and red was the red clothes group.
Finally it was red.
In this way, the heroine led the expert group, and the original owner led the ordinary group.
Unexpectedly, the original owner was the one who made the fool of himself. He was bombarded with questions from the ordinary group. He stuttered at first and then became so embarrassed after being criticized that tears welled up in his eyes.
On the other hand, the heroine answered questions fluently, was able to draw inferences from one instance, and was not at all shy when quoting from classics.
The program is broadcast live, and the more badly the original owner is ridiculed, the more highly the female protagonist is praised.
The following plot follows this process.
The original owner was hit again and again by female protagonists of the same type. After being cyber-bullied and abandoned by the company, it was finally revealed that she had been in love with the male protagonist for many years. The relationship between the female protagonist and the male protagonist was exposed.
Until the end of the story, the original owner never made a comeback.
Later, when she was exhausted by depression, she realized that the group she had drawn for the museum guide experience tour was not an ordinary group at all, but a group of guides that was more difficult to deal with than the expert group.
All the members of that group were former colleagues of the heroine. After getting along with the heroine, they signed up for this event.
The heroine had long regarded her as an enemy.
Who made her covet the white moonlight in the heroine's heart without knowing the consequences? Who made her want to expose the heroine's true identity again and again?
In the article, everything the heroine does has a legitimate reason.
In the end, the heroine also apologized for her cyberbullying of the female star, so everything she did afterwards was in the name of making up for her mistakes.
Help the female star to whitewash herself, do charity work for her, make her famous, help her enjoy a beautiful love life, and help her enjoy a smooth career path.
The story ends here.
Jin Shu opened her eyes and looked quietly at the dark TV screen in front of her.
She just finished recording a variety show.
During the recording session, the hostess got all ten questions correct, while she only got four correct.
The agent was so furious that he almost proposed to terminate the contract with her.
Now I can understand the difficulties of the agent.
After all, the original owner still thought that the other party was her good friend, so she told the heroine the question bank as soon as she mentioned it.
The two agreed to play badly together so that the next recording would be easier.
As a result, the heroine got full marks in answering the questions on the spot, and was directly awarded the right to choose her teammates for the next round.
She chose the male lead He Shaoyu.
Although she was scolded for being shameless and courting a woman, the male and female protagonists had a tacit understanding in the following interaction. The female protagonist accurately controlled all the preferences and habits of the male protagonist, and her actions directly shocked the audience in front of the camera.
In this way, while completely capturing the male lead's heart, the female lead also gained the love of the entire Internet.
When Jin Shu thought of these plots, she felt a headache.
The original owner must have some learning disabilities. Some people are not born to study and use their brains, and the original owner is one of them.
This is really a headache.
Jin Shu sighed and subconsciously touched her neck. Sure enough, the jade bead was still hanging there, keeping her warm in winter and cool in summer.
With the soothing effect of Yuzhu's spiritual energy, Jin Shu's headache was slightly relieved, and she picked up the stack of papers her agent had given her before leaving.
The above contents are all questions that reporters may ask tomorrow, as well as the safest ways to answer them.
The original owner had a character, and this character was quite consistent with her own characteristics.
Stupid beauty.
Very beautiful but empty-headed.
But the company packaged him too much. At first, he was just backward in learning, but now he has become mentally retarded in all aspects, with low emotional intelligence and low IQ, which easily arouses others' disgust with stupidity.
It was easy to feel sleepy sitting on the sofa, so Jin Shu simply cleared out the dressing table, moved it to the balcony, turned on the light, and read the interview content while enjoying the evening breeze.
This time the 48-hour system took effect at 7 o'clock in the evening, and when people were talking noisily downstairs, everything suddenly stopped.
Jin Shu has become accustomed to this and continues to flip through the notebook in her hand.
After reading it, she woke up completely and took out the question bank that her agent had given her.
There are more than a thousand questions in total, classified according to the difficulty level. The first eight hundred questions are not too difficult, but the last two hundred questions are a bit complicated and brain-burning.
Since she had nothing to do, Jin Shu took out a notebook and a pen and started taking notes. This was a habit she had inherited from her previous world. No matter what she was learning, she couldn't stop.
After looking through the question bank, Jin Shu also took the opportunity to read the newly handed script.
Just like that, twenty-four hours passed quickly.
It was still bustling outside at around seven o'clock, so Jin Shu stretched her muscles and went to the gym downstairs to start exercising.
The original owner was very thin, but not in a healthy way. Being an artist is a high-intensity job. After all, you have to maintain 100% energy and spirit in front of the camera, so you must have a good body.
The night passed slowly and fulfillingly, and Jin Shu spent most of the time adapting to this modern world.
The next morning, her agent came to pick her up.
"Have you read the manuscript I gave you yesterday?"
Without waiting for Jin Shu to answer, she spoke again.
"You definitely didn't see it. Even if you saw it, you wouldn't remember it. Hey, when the time comes, if you don't know how to answer any question, just laugh. Remember? Don't talk nonsense!"
"Um."
After saying that, Jin Shu asked another question.
"You can take the college entrance examination anytime you are old enough, right?"
"Yes, didn't I tell you before that I wanted you to take the test? But with your brain, forget it. It's useless to take the test."
Jin Shu automatically filtered out the nonsense and nodded after getting a valid answer. Chapter 120 The Nine-Leaked Fish Actress is the Queen of Volumes (3)
"Please prepare some exam materials for me. No... please hire a tutor for me. When is the college entrance examination this year?"
"…"
The agent looked at Jin Shu as if she were a fool.
"What's wrong with you again?"
"I can pay for the teacher myself."
"Okay, I can treat you, but please don't embarrass yourself this time! You keep pretending to be serious in front of the camera with a crappy book in your hand all day long. If you don't find it embarrassing, I will. Please, sister, please don't do this again, okay?"
Jin Shu was speechless.
After all, the original owner did do that.
Of course, she was not pretending, but was really studying seriously. However, she was busy with work and was in love with only the top male lead in her mind. It would be a miracle if she could pass the exam in this state.
Before this, many people had taken pictures of her reading and studying anytime and anywhere, and most people just laughed at her.
Sure enough, the original owner lived up to everyone's expectations. Her college entrance examination results were revealed, and her math score of over 50 points earned her the nickname "Nine-leaky Fish".
Overwhelming ridicule poured down upon the original owner.
The agent originally thought that after the loss of such a big person last time, Jin Shu would completely give up the idea of taking the exam. Unexpectedly, only half a year had passed and she had to face the challenge again.
"you…"
The agent was about to make a few sarcastic remarks, but when he looked up, he suddenly met a pair of calm and bright eyes, like a pool of spring water, revealing an indescribable calm temperament.
The words in my mouth suddenly stopped coming out.
"Forget it, I'll arrange a tutor for you. Do you really want to learn? If so, I'll assign you less work."
"It's true."
Nonsense, this was the original owner's wish.
She has only two wishes, to go to university and experience college life.
Then help your friends' parents enjoy their old age.
The heroine Shen Mianyi has her own parents to take care of. As for her original body's real parents, the book only briefly mentions that they live far away and never mentions them again.
In fact, the heroine never thought of her original parents, and the poor couple didn't even know that their biological daughter had lost her life in cyber violence.
Therefore, the original owner's other wish was to take good care of her friends parents on behalf of her friend.
This wish is simpler than the college entrance examination. Jin Shu takes the place of the heroine and sends money and gifts to her friend's parents every month.
How to explain it to the couple next is a matter for the future. There is no point in thinking about it now. After all, in the eyes of the couple, their daughter is still alive and well.
When they arrived at the interview recording site, the agent repeatedly instructed Jin Shu.
"Talk less and smile more, did you hear me? If you're asked about relationship issues, don't say anything that could be misunderstood!"
The original owner of the love-brained story often mentioned the male protagonist as his ideal type.
Jin Shu nodded, adjusted her skirt and got out of the car.
The flash light "clicked" "clicked" on her face, and Jin Shu had a business smile on her face, which was decent, generous and beautiful.
Reporter 1: "Excuse me, Mr. Jin, are you satisfied with your recent variety show performance?"
Jin Shu replied: "I'm not very satisfied. The character design given by the company does have some problems. I am also seriously considering changing my personal style."
The whole audience was in an uproar.
Reporter 2 followed up: "So Mr. Jin's performance in variety shows is all a character created by the company, right? For example, he is bad at math and has a bad memory?"
Jin Shu: "My memory is not very good, but it's not that bad. I will do my best next time. Please give me another chance."
Reporter 3: "So what are your plans for work next? Will you continue to participate in variety shows or join a production team to film a drama?"
Jin Shu: "For now, I will finish recording the variety show I am doing, and then I will consider filming a movie. However, I have another important thing to do in the meantime."
Reporters all asked, "What's going on? Is there any news of a romance?"
Jin Shu smiled calmly: "Love is not as important as studying. I am preparing for the second college entrance examination in my life."
The whole audience was in an uproar again.
Reporters began to ask questions at once.
"May I ask what the problem was in your failure in the last college entrance examination?"
Jin Shu: "I didn't have enough self-confidence, but now I am very confident."
"So you think as long as you have confidence, you will be able to get into college this year?"
Jin Shu: "Yes."
"Which university are you targeting?"
Jin Shu: "It hasn't been decided yet. If it is decided, I will inform everyone."
"Do you like the name you are called by the entire Internet now?"
Jin Shu: "I don't like it. I will take practical actions to get rid of the label of being a nine-leaky fish."
"Regarding the rumor about you and a certain new idol actor, can you share with us the progress between you and him?"
Jin Shu thought for a moment, then said to the reporter's camera without changing her expression.
"I'm asexual, thank you."
"…"
—
"Jin Shu, if you want to ruin your career, you can just announce your retirement. There's no need to embarrass everyone in this way."
Agent Zhao Yan is in this state now, laughing out of anger. The smile on his face is uglier than crying.
Jin Shu looked innocent.
"I think my response was appropriate."
"You said you are asexual. What's the difference between saying this and saying you will never eat meat in your life?
Are you waiting to be slapped in the face by others?
Isn't it painful enough that we got hit on the face?"
Jin Shu glanced at her.
"Are falling in love and eating meat the same thing? If you don't eat meat, you'll die. But will you die if you don't fall in love?"
"…"
The agent stared at her and tried to control his breathing rhythm to suppress the urge to strangle Jin Shu.
"Forget about this matter. Who told you to tell others that you wanted to go to college? Haven't you heard that great things can be achieved quietly? Don't you know that before you do something, you must keep it secret from everyone?
Now that everyone knows about it, what will happen if you fail the exam? By then, your reputation will be shattered into pieces, and you won't be able to raise it even if you lie on the ground!"
"I will pass the exam."
Jin Shu responded with force and determination.
Although there was no expression on that face, it gave people an inexplicable sense of security.
Zhao Yan was defeated by her look again.
What else could she say? Should she
continue to say discouraging words to undermine Jin Shu's self-confidence?
"Forget it, forget it. You'd better keep your word. You can't count on a bachelor's degree. I beg you to get into a better college and make those people shut up!"
"Take the entrance exam to Tsinghua University or Peking University."
"If you keep talking nonsense, we'll all go home and roast sweet potatoes. I've hired tutors for you. They're all students from key universities. Don't let my money go to waste."
Jin Shu nodded casually.
She actually didn't need a teacher, but studying alone would definitely not be as fast as having someone to tutor her, so this time she chose to take a shortcut. Chapter 121 The Nine-Leaked Fish Actress is the Queen of Volumes (4)
That night, Zhao Yan turned down an announcement and asked Jin Shu to study hard at home.
Textbooks from the first to the third year of high school have been prepared, and the math tutor will soon arrive.
When I opened the door, I saw a very young boy standing outside. He was carrying a black backpack, dressed casually, and wearing a pair of half-frame glasses.
When he saw Jin Shu, he looked at her for a second longer, then bent down to take off his shoes.
"Hello, my name is Mo Zhongxue, your math tutor, and this is my student ID."
The ID shows that he is an undergraduate student majoring in mathematics at a certain university. The photo shows him as handsome in person, but he is not wearing glasses. His eyes are narrow and deep.
The two of them sat face to face, and Mo Zhongxue made a detailed timetable for knowledge from the first to the third year of high school. Instead of following the textbook content, he directly tackled the math college entrance examination questions, starting from the simplest knowledge points.
He spoke very seriously, his eyes rarely lingering on Jin Shu, and he would occasionally look into her eyes to judge her current mental state.
The two hours of the first class passed quickly.
"You can choose a target university first, and then set the score requirements, so that you will have a goal to study for, and you can adjust more quickly when you slack off."
"Well, let's go to your university. I saw your university photo on your student card. It looks pretty good."
Mo Zhongxue was silent for a few seconds, then replied.
"Our university has very high score requirements. I suggest you don't set your initial goal too high, but go for it based on your own conditions."
The other party spoke very tactfully.
There is still half a year before the college entrance examination. You have no chance of getting into our university.
However, Jin Shu seemed not to understand and said another sentence.
"I like to challenge myself, so I'll set this goal for now. Thank you for today."
"You're welcome. This is what I should do."
After saying that, he turned around and left. His gesture of avoiding suspicion was quite obvious, and he left obviously faster than when he came.
Jin Shu just smiled, closed the door, turned around and started organizing what she had learned today.
She had taken the college entrance examination once. The content of the modern college entrance examination is obviously much more difficult than that in the early 1990s, and there are many new question types that she has never seen before.
But if we talk about difficulty, how can the teaching staff of that era be compared with that of today?
Sitting in a comfortable and clean environment with the evening breeze on her shoulders and studying without distraction is a luxury for Jin Shu.
She went to the kitchen and poured herself a glass of water, adding some sugar to it. The sweet boiled water could slightly reduce her boredom.
At seven o'clock, time stood still. Jin Shu went out for a walk and carefully studied the city's operating system to ensure that she would not be exposed in the future.
After staying at home for two days, the agent came to my house with his assistant and makeup artist.
"Hurry up and get up. The next episode of Escape Room is about to start. Hurry up and put on your makeup. You need to be at the recording site before seven o'clock."
As soon as Jin Shu got up, she was pressed on the sofa, with a makeup artist on the left and an assistant on the right. One of them was brushing her face with a small brush, and the other one directly stuffed a cup of cold black unknown liquid into her hand.
"What's this?"
"Iced Americano, drink more, it will help reduce swelling."
Ice Americano?
She only inherited some important plots from the original owner, but not the details.
Looking at the black liquid, Jin Shu took a sip and then spit it out expressionlessly.
"So it's Chinese medicine."
"Haha... Sister, you're so funny. Didn't you always rely on iced Americano to stay alive? Drink it quickly. Time is running out."
The agent was on the phone next to her, and she was arguing with the person on the phone in a bad temper.
"The last recording session was an accident? It's fine if you let a guest win, but what's the point of dragging down our artist?
Stop talking nonsense. This time, please place our artist further away. She doesn't have a good brain to begin with. Can you please stop causing trouble for us?"
Jin Shu, who was caught in the crossfire for no reason: "..."
The makeup artist whispered in her ear.
"Actually, your face looks better without makeup, or with light makeup..."
"Okay, you decide."
"Ah? Really? I really...see it coming?"
"Um."
Why is this big star so easy to talk to today? I have advised her before that heavy makeup is not suitable for her, but she has her own aesthetic, that is, she eats makeup when she is on camera, so the heavier the makeup, the better.
The makeup artist was a little overwhelmed by the sudden response.
Because of her simple makeup and simple twin ponytails, she was able to free up an entire hour of the originally tight schedule, and when she arrived at the scene, there was no one there.
Having arrived early and having nothing to do anyway, Jin Shu took out the ancient Chinese poems and started memorizing them.
These ancient poems were too unfamiliar to her. Even though she had taken the college entrance examination once in the last century, when she looked at the ancient poems of this world now, she suddenly discovered that the history of the two worlds seemed to be somewhat different.
Different dynasties have different historical figures, and the poems and operas handed down are even more different.
After discovering this, Jin Shu realized that she could no longer use the knowledge from the previous world to cheat, and could only work hard to write down all the content she needed to memorize.
A thick stack of poetry collections, both in-class and outside of class, are all included in the exam.
"Why…"
It's really not easy for modern students. They have to put in so much effort just to get a few more points.
Jin Shu has a good memory. She only needs to go over a necessary classical Chinese text two or three times before she can memorize the general outline.
The staff around her cast curious glances at her from time to time, the live camera was pointed at her, and two directors were sitting not far away and smiling.
"Don't tell me, it really looks like that."
"It's OK as long as we understand it in our hearts. We still have to cooperate when necessary. The live broadcast room will temporarily add post-production."
[She embraced her family with a smile. Why is this sister still deceiving herself? ]
[When she was studying for the college entrance exam, I was in the first year of high school. Now I am in college, and she is still reciting classical Chinese.]
[Jin Shu vividly demonstrated what it means that as long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed]
[You pretend to be a top student during normal times, but you are exposed in the exam. It's so funny. Why do you still pretend to be a top student? Isn't it painful enough to be slapped in the face? ]
[He can't even figure out elementary school math, and now he's thinking about going to college? Can such an incompetent artist be banned? What positive impact can he bring to the audience? ]
The barrage was filled with mocking voices.
Jin Shu was reciting the poem on her own, lowering her eyes and turning the pages.
[If nothing else, she is really pretty when she is pretending. Wouldn't it be better for her to just be a vase?]
[Do you feel that Jin Shu has changed today? This side profile is so pure and beautiful]
[I'm a pure beauty lover. If nothing else, I just want to lick this sister's face. With such a face, how can she be so popular in the entertainment industry?]
[I am dying of laughter. He only has a pretty face but no brains. He is a complete fool.]
"Jiulu... No, Mr. Jin, the other guests have already boarded the bus."2023-11-05 Author: Stir-fried pork belly
Jin Shu glanced at him, then looked away while tidying up the study materials on her lap, and then spoke slowly.
"Be careful what you say, or I'll have to hire a lawyer."
Jin Shu, who had been a domineering boss for half her life, had such an imposing aura that frightened the other party into shutting up immediately.
He was just joking, and Jin Shu wouldn't have minded it in the past, after all, she was known for her good temper.
Now that he suddenly revealed his edge, the other party was so frightened that he became suspicious and afraid, and he immediately stopped talking nonsense.
"Then Mr. Jin, it's time to get in the car. The other guests are waiting."
Jin Shu handed the information to her assistant, then slowly stood up and walked outside.
A bus was parked outside, with several guests already on board.
There were already five people sitting in the car, including four permanent guests and two flying guests. When Jin Shu got in the car, there was a burst of laughter inside.
The first person to greet Jin Shu was the resident guest Xia Ke, who is also an actress. She has some representative works in her hands, so she can be considered a quasi-first-line actress.
There are two male guests left, one of whom is Kong Weishang, a fair-skinned and handsome actor, who is responsible for livening up the atmosphere of the entire team.
When he saw Jin Shu, he patted the seat next to him.
"Come, Sister Jin, come and sit down."
The original owner had a good temper and had a good relationship with everyone in the team. Although they were not very familiar with each other, they would occasionally make private appointments to have meals together.
After Jin Shu sat down, Ji Cheng, another resident male guest sitting in the front row, directly started the cue process.
"Let us welcome our flying guests for this episode of Escape Room, Mian Yi and Shao Yu!"
Everyone applauded.
"These two are also our old friends. I can't forget Mian Yi's performance in the last episode. Can you guide me this time?"
Shen Mianyi was wearing a simple and comfortable sports outfit and smiled generously and brightly in front of the camera.
"Personally, I think I'm still a bit timid."
Everyone couldn't help but complain when they heard it.
"Are you timid? You can even chase ghosts and beat them! If you are timid, then what are we?"
Shen Mianyi sat next to Xia Ke and moved closer to him.
"Only when I see a beauty can I be brave. Come on, let's get close to the beauty."
Xia Ke was so amused that she covered her mouth and laughed. It was obvious at a glance that the two girls had a good relationship. The three boys also knew each other and were chatting in groups of three or four. Jin Shu on the side seemed a little too quiet.
[This is so funny. What style is Jin Shu going to take? A cool and elegant lady? ]
[She has nothing to do with the aloof queen. Her IQ is so low. If she were a little more aloof, wouldn't she definitely be at the bottom?]
[I can't fit in, I can't fit in at all, maybe the program team should consider promoting us to permanent guests! ]
Jin Shu didn't feel that she couldn't fit in at all. She was used to being alone quietly, until Kong Weishang suddenly turned around and told her.
"I heard that this episode is horror-themed and quite brain-burning, so we plan to let Shen Mianyi be the main force, and you just need to follow behind. This will save you a lot of trouble, okay?"
What these words mean is that when the time comes, the main player characters should be people with high IQs, such as Shen Mianyi.
This request is reasonable, but Jin Shu can't do it.
"The characters are randomly assigned. Instead of discussing it with me, you should discuss it with the director."
"It's okay. You can exchange character cards when the time comes. You can do this before the game starts. You know that."
This happened to Jin Shu in the previous episode. She was persuaded to give up the spotlight role and was left with only an insignificant character. In the end, the program was slightly revised and reduced, and when it was finally broadcast, Jin Shu had very few shots.
This time, these people used the same old tricks again.
Anyway, Jin Shu has a good temper and won't show it even if she feels unhappy. With her people-pleasing personality, she is afraid that she will be disliked, so when talking about this matter, Kong Weishang just mentioned it casually because he knew Jin Shu would definitely agree.
"It's a deal."
"Is this your decision alone, or is it everyone's decision?"
"We just agreed in the car, let me talk to you, what's wrong? Do you have any other ideas?"
Jin Shu nodded.
"The person involved is not here, so you guys just make the decision. Do you think I should have an opinion? How about this, you guys discuss it again now, and I'll get involved. If it makes sense, I'll agree."
Kong Weishang was choked and speechless.
The live camera is facing everyone now, how can we discuss such things in front of the camera? Doesn't it seem like everyone is bullying Jin Shu?
He didn't know what to say, so he could only nod randomly.
"If you don't want to, forget it."
"If it were you, would you be willing?"
"If I'm not smart enough, I'm definitely willing to do it and won't hold everyone back."
Jin Shu nodded.
"Okay, remember what you said now."
When the bus arrived at the destination, staff members in black uniforms came up and distributed eye masks to everyone.
Xia Ke lamented.
"Come again, come again. I'm too timid to walk in front. Mian Yi, you walk in front of me."
"Okay, don't worry, I'll protect you."
At this time, Ji Cheng also said something.
"Sister Shen, please protect me. I am timid."
"It's okay. Don't you guys have He Shaoyu? He's very brave."
At this time He Shaoyu glanced at Shen Mianyi, smiled and shook his head.
"I can't. I'm afraid of the dark."
"It's okay. Who said boys can't be afraid of the dark? Okay, okay, then I'll go first. Xia Ke is the least courageous, so he can stand in the middle, and Shao Yu can stand behind me.
There are two boys left, can you protect the last girl?"
In her eyes, Jin Shu doesn't even deserve a name.
The heroine has a cheerful personality, and her love and hate are written on her face. Everyone can see that she doesn't like Jin Shu very much, and of course, everyone can understand it.
After all, Jin Shu's brain is really not working very well. Not only did she hold back the last episode, but she also almost caused Shen Mianyi to fail to complete the task. It's normal for everyone to have some opinions about her.
At this time, Ji Cheng had already grabbed Xia Ke's clothes, and Kong Weishang, who had just been defeated, walked up and grabbed Ji Cheng's clothes.
The remaining Jin Shu could only stand at the end.
[I feel like everyone hates Jin Shu, but I would probably feel the same if I were in her shoes]
[Why did the production team choose a fool to participate in the brain-burning variety show? It really affects the viewing experience! ! ]
[Hahaha, He Shaoyu really looks like his little wife standing behind Shen Mianyi. These two are becoming more and more like a couple. What's going on? ]
[Damn it, Shen Mianyi finally succeeded! Shao Yu, wake up! The corners of your mouth are about to stretch to the back of your ears! ]
[I feel like there is something going on between these two people. This ambiguous feeling can't be wrong. Our Lao He might be in love for the first time.]
[Hahahaha, I heard that Jin Shu also likes He Shaoyu, right?] Chapter 123 The Nine-Leaked Fish Actress is the Queen of Volumes (6)
[It's no secret that Jin Shuming is in love with He Shaoyu. The production team is stirring up trouble. Isn't this a Shura scene?]
At this time, all the guests were blindfolded and followed the instructions into an unfamiliar space.
Finally, Jin Shu's hands were pulled apart, and she felt herself being taken away alone. Then her feet were locked with heavy chains, and then there was the sound of the door being locked.
With a "click", the lights came on.
"Please take off your blindfolds, and welcome to Alice's fairy tale world.
This is the fairy tale house of the girl Alice, and you are her friends.
Alice has been missing for three months. You came to her fairytale house together because you were worried about your friend's safety. But now, the fairytale house has become weird. Alice's favorite toys seem to come alive one by one..."
Accompanied by terrifying and eerie background music, Jin Shu took off her blindfold and observed the surrounding environment.
This is a small green room, which is filled with various clown masks. Under the flickering light, Jin Shu noticed the huge roller behind her.
An iron chain was wrapped around the roller, and the other end of the chain was tied to her ankle.
The props made by the program team were very realistic, and everything in front of her looked so eerie and strange, especially the entire clown pattern behind the roller. When Jin Shu looked at the clown's eyes, the roller suddenly moved, followed by the chain under her feet slowly tightening.
[Wow, is it so exciting right from the start? ]
[Mitao's live broadcast storyboards have always been very good, live broadcast plus post-production, double the fun! ]
[Everyone is looking for their keys, Jin Shu, do you want to show some reaction? ]
[Fuck, I'm really angry when I see her. Can the production team remove her separately? ]
The shots of the six guests are on the live broadcast screen.
It was the first time for Jin Shu to play this kind of game. After looking around with great interest, she began to look around.
The iron chain coiled on the ground was slowly tightened, and the intentionally created sense of oppression, coupled with the background music, made the audience in front of the camera nervous.
Jin Shu looked around and immediately saw that there was something wrong with the clown pattern with a laughing mouth in front of her.
Sure enough, his teeth were a shuffled puzzle piece, which was apparently the key to getting the key.
Several other guests also discovered it one after another and immediately began to piece together the pattern.
"The key to the key is the clown's teeth!"
Shen Mianyi's voice came from outside, obviously reminding everyone.
This also reminded Xia Ke, who had not yet reacted, and she hurried over.
[It's really fun to watch Shen Mianyi clear the game. Her purpose has always been clear, and she is a very kind person.]
[Why do I have to say this? I just want to see when Jin Shu will find out.]
[It's no use telling Jin Shu, she can't do it, so just give up, it's a good opportunity to be eliminated so that everyone won't feel uncomfortable watching her.]
[Wow, this is really hard. The tooth fragments all look very similar. I just hit it right away.]
Indeed, it was all white patterns, and the only clue was the red lines between the white.
All the guests were busy trying to put the pieces together.
Xia Ke shouted helplessly.
"Help me, why do all these things look the same?"
At this time, Shen Mianyi on the side shouted.
"Don't panic. I checked the length of the chain and it can last about five minutes. If anyone has any ideas within these five minutes, please tell us directly."
Kong Weishang: "These red lines are twisting around so strangely."
Ji Cheng: "What do clown teeth look like? They're broken. I've never paid attention to them in all these years."
At this time Shen Mianyi shouted again.
"Wei Shang, Ji Cheng, you two try to connect all the lines in a straight line. Xia Ke, you try to look for clues in the room.
Shao Yu, you are responsible for cheering me up, thank you."
In the corner, He Shaoyu said helplessly.
"Stop it."
[Hahahaha, it's already this time and you're still thinking about teasing He Shaoyu! ]
[These two people are really crazy about pink bubbles]
[Will Shen Mianyi die if he doesn't take advantage of the popularity? How shameless! ]
[I think this is great. It eases everyone's tension and speeds things up.]
[Having such a core person in the team is really super invincible and safe, right? 】
[Hahahahahaha, automatically ignore Jin Shu. You know she's useless, right? Hahahahahaha]
[Jin Shu's greatest use is to keep her mouth shut. Mian Yi will not abandon her and will definitely help her in the end.]
At this time, the music atmosphere in the live broadcast room had become tense and exciting.
People in the other rooms were also actively discussing the progress, cheering and encouraging each other. There were clearly six rooms, but only five had lights on at this moment, and the remaining one was dim, like dusty garbage in the corner.
[The program team deliberately made trouble]
[Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Jin Shu, how insignificant are you?]
[Speechless, it's really useless. In the end, I have to drag everyone down to save her.]
Just as the comments were filled with encouragement and complaints, a "click" sound suddenly came from the empty room!
It was the sound of the lock cylinder popping out.
[Who? Spelled it out?! ]
[Do I need to think too much? It's either Shen Mianyi or He Shaoyu. These two have always been the ones with the most intelligence.]
Just at this moment, the blue light suddenly lit up in the room with the door unlocked.
Everyone couldn't wait to stare at the screen. The next second, everyone saw the door of room number six open and Jin Shu walked out leisurely.
【…】
【…】
【! ! ! 】
[If I am not mistaken, the person who came out is Jin Shu, right? ]
"Gate No. 6 is open."
The loud mechanical sound resounded throughout the secret room.
The remaining five people who were in a heated discussion fell silent on the spot.
When they watched Jin Shu slowly walking past their door, they felt an inexplicable burning sensation on their faces.
Jin Shu walked to Xia Ke's door and asked.
"Do you need a pattern to be made out of?"
Xia Ke was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly the tightness in her feet made her nod quickly.
Jin Shu handed over the puzzle piece that had been removed. Xia Ke expressed his gratitude repeatedly and quickly completed his puzzle according to the pattern. The clown's hideous and sharp fangs were exposed. With a "click", the fangs opened, and a key was placed in the dark hole.
Xia Ke nervously reached out his hand and took out the key from the hole, then impatiently opened the chain on his ankle, pressed the button on the door and ran away.
"Jin Shu, how did you do it?!"
Xia Ke was surprised and delighted, and did not forget to share the puzzle with others.
With the ready-made pattern, everyone escaped quickly.
Everyone stood together, and Jin Shu could feel the surprise and shock in their eyes.
(End of this chapter) Chapter 124 The Nine-Leaked Fish Actress is the Queen of Volumes (7)
But she herself had a calm and frank expression, and faced so many surprised looks calmly.
Xia Ke came closer to her.
"Wow, I didn't realize the clown's teeth were fangs! Everyone was thinking of normal teeth."
Ji Cheng followed suit and praised.
"Our little sister Jin has finally come to her senses. That's amazing! Let's give her a round of applause!"
There was sparse applause in the room.
At this time, Shen Mianyi on the side asked with a smile.
"Jin Shu, how did you guess that the clown's teeth are sawtooth? It seems that we were all wrong at the beginning, and we kept discussing it foolishly, but I didn't expect you to have it all figured out."
This is a reasonable question, and it happens to be the question everyone has.
[Yeah, I find it strange too. Who would think that a clown's teeth are jagged?]
[Jin Shu's IQ has suddenly become so high? No matter how good a person is at pretending, he or she can never pretend to be smart or not.]
[A bold guess is that Jin Shu may have known the game mechanics for a long time, and the director deliberately gave her a high IQ character by giving her the game a hint.]
[It's unnecessary. Does Jin Shu have such a big face that the director of Mi Tao would risk his reputation to promote her? ]
Jin Shu looked at Shen Mianyi.
This question is asked in a very flawless manner. It seems like it is raising a question, but in fact it makes people doubt the fairness of the game.
By the way, he also pointed out that Jin Shu didn't tell everyone about the clues just to show off for herself.
This kind of thing is hard to explain.
How to say something that can be seen at a glance?
"What's wrong? If it's hard to answer, forget it. Anyway, we have such a reliable expert in our team, which will also help us pass the level."
A tall hat was firmly put on Jin Shu's head.
Jin Shu smiled.
"It's not hard to answer. The first question is why I could guess the sawtooth pattern. The answer is actually hidden in the mural on the wall when we return to the room we just went to."
Xia Ke walked directly into the nearest secret room and stared at the wall carefully for a long time.
"Jin Shu, there is no answer."
"Look at the third mural from left to right. The smiling clown is holding something in his hand."
Xia Ke found the pattern as Jin Shu said, his eyes slowly moved downwards, and he shouted in surprise.
"Oh my god, it's a sawtooth denture!"
"This clown is directly opposite the Jigsaw Clown, so I say the answer is on the wall. Any questions?"
Xia Ke's voice immediately attracted everyone over.
As soon as everyone saw the mural on the wall, they suddenly understood.
The only clown who didn't smile with his teeth showing was holding a pair of sharp, serrated dentures in his hand, which was invisible unless you looked closely.
"It's true, Jin Shu, you have a good eye."
"It's OK."
In fact, Jin Shu already knew the approximate shape of the puzzle before she discovered the pattern, so she didn't have to think too much. The messy lines that seemed like a mess to others could be quickly assembled in her eyes.
Jin Shu has always been an extremely smart and favored child of destiny, but this is too different from the original owner's personality. If you want to change the audience's impression of her, you have to do it step by step.
"Regarding what you said, I put together the pattern by myself but didn't tell you.
You didn't count me in the beginning, I thought it was just my own individual competition."
When Shen Mianyi heard this, the smile on his face became a little unnatural.
"Are you blaming me? Then I apologize. I am just acting according to my previous experience and I don't want to put too much pressure on you.
How about this, since Jin Shu is more suitable for this game than any of us, let Jin Shu lead our team from now on.
Jin Shu, don't feel pressured, we believe in you."
Xia Ke sensed the unpeaceful atmosphere between the two people and quickly stepped forward to help.
"Anyway, you all have smarter brains than me, so let's all work together. Whoever knows the next level of the game will go first. What do you think?"
Shen Mianyi just smiled and looked at Jin Shu slowly.
"Sister Shu, please go ahead, we will follow."
Jin Shu ignored her and went straight to the table outside the secret room to get her own card.
"Congratulations to player Jin Shu for obtaining Alice's friendship card. The player who obtains the most friendship cards will be the final winner of this game. Only the winner can rescue our friend Alice."
[I didn't expect that the first card was taken away by Jin Shu]
[It can be seen here that Jin Shu is indeed smart. It seems that what she did before was really the company's character setting]
[It's easy to play a fool, but it's not easy to play a genius. If you insist on giving yourself a genius persona, be careful not to fall flat on your face later.]
[Am I the only one who can tell that Shen Mianyi doesn't like Jin Shu? It feels like she's always targeting her.]
[Jin Shu almost caused the entire team to be wiped out in the last episode. Our Sister Shen is famous for being straightforward and a patient with advanced stupidity. It would be strange if she liked someone like Jin Shu.]
The game continues.
They had not taken a few steps when the lights around them suddenly dimmed, accompanied by sharp and strange laughter coming from all directions. The lights in the long corridor in front of them flickered, and the clown mask hanging at the end of the corridor emitted a scary red light.
"I grew up with her, but she left me aside when she grew up.
Do children change when they grow up? If so, I hope she will never grow up and stay by my side forever.
I am so lonely, I want someone to stay with me forever, who could that person be? Who of you is willing to stay with me?"
After saying that, the clown mask on the wall suddenly opened its fangs, and a figure slowly crawled out from the depths of the fangs. An unidentified object twisted and squirmed on the ground, and its laughter was so eerie that it made people shudder.
Xia Ke and Kong Weishang, who were the most timid, all hid behind. Xia Ke grabbed Shen Mianyi's clothes, his voice trembling.
"What should we do now? It can't come and catch us, right?"
But the only exit of this house is this corridor, and now the end of the corridor is blocked by this unidentified creature. Seeing that thing getting closer and closer, everyone started to retreat at the same time.
"Find a place to hide and don't get caught by it!"
After Shen Mianyi's shout, everyone started looking for places to hide.
Looking back, there was only a small square bedroom in front of me. The room was filled with all kinds of clown toys, clown dolls, clown masks, clown bedside lamps...
The places where you can hide are clearly visible.
He Shaoyu reacted quickly and opened the wardrobe, revealing it was empty.
"We can hide here."
The timid Ji Cheng was the first to go in, followed closely by Xia Ke. There was still a little space left, just enough for one more person to stand.
He Shaoyu definitely wouldn't just go in there by himself. He looked at the three people standing opposite him.
Without waiting for Jin Shu to speak, Shen Mianyi directly pushed Kong Weishang.
"They are both timid. You go in and give them courage." The three people entered the cabinet and filled it up, then closed the door.
Immediately afterwards, He Shaoyu turned around and walked towards the window again. Two people could hide behind the small curtain.
He glanced at the remaining two people, then spoke bluntly.
"You two hide inside."
Shen Mianyi looked at him.
"What about you? I'm not going. I'll find another place with you."
"Hurry up, it's almost coming out."
He Shaoyu urged again.
Shen Mianyi refused to do so, and the two of them were in a stalemate. Jin Shu stood in the middle with an expressionless face, then walked past the two of them and hid behind the curtain.
No matter whether others live or die, you have to stay alive first.
[Jin Shu really is like a light bulb]
[Hahahaha this is amazing, three people are in a Shura scene, and in the end Jin Shu chooses to protect herself and give up]
[Shen Mianyi, don't love He Shaoyu too much. If you two continue like this, I really can't help but bless you two]
[I felt that there was a hint of disdain in Jin Shu's eyes just now]
Seeing that the unidentified object at the end of the corridor was about to crawl out, Shen Mianyi and He Shaoyu were still standing outside, looking at each other, with ambiguous pink bubbles around them.
"There is still someone hiding behind the curtain. Hurry up and hide inside."
"What are you going to do?"
"It's better to have one person eliminated than two."
"If you get eliminated, it'll be pointless for me to play alone, so why don't we just go together?"
He Shaoyu was silent. He was always taciturn and now he didn't know what to say. The struggle and emotion in his eyes revealed his inner emotional fluctuations.
Just when everyone in front of and behind the screen was moved by the feelings between the two people, Jin Shu suddenly walked out from behind the curtains.
Shen Mianyi, who was preparing to flirt with the male god, said:
"?"
He Shaoyu, who was immersed in the emotion, asked:
"?"
Even the audience in the live broadcast room had a lot of question marks in their heads, and then they watched Jin Shu walk towards the other side of the corridor.
That back figure is thin and gaunt; those steps are firm and decisive.
【? What is she doing? 】
[Go to death to help lovers? 】
[Fuck, she really is like that. I'm crying! ]
[The person you like is being affectionate with someone else. No one can hide it, but Jin Shu is still fierce. Is she provoked to self-destruct?]
[What is Jin Shu doing? Is she going to die? Oh my god, what on earth is she thinking? ]
Shen Mianyi was also surprised. She didn't expect that just when she was about to leave a highlight shot in the show, Jin Shu snatched the shot away completely the next second.
The romantic atmosphere that was created with great effort has now completely dissipated. Seeing that the thing is about to come out, Shen Mianyi is pulled directly behind the curtains by He Shaoyu.
"Shao Yu, what will Jin Shu do alone?"
"Others have their own choices. Save your own life first."
Shen Mianyi couldn't help but laugh secretly.
It turns out that my male god is attracted to me.
It doesn't matter if the highlight shots were snatched away. It's just right that Jin Shu did this to save herself from being held back later.
Everybody hide, and in the camera at this moment, a headless clown holding a chainsaw slowly emerges from the clown's fangs!
He pulled the trigger on the chainsaw, and the horrible, terrifying sound instantly spread throughout the bedroom.
The three people hiding in the closet were trembling, while the two people hiding behind the curtains were facing each other and talking in low voices.
"Jin Shu likes you, can you tell?"
He Shaoyu replied in a low voice.
"That's her business, it has nothing to do with me."
"Are you always so cold towards girls? Do you hate it when people take the initiative?"
The man looked at her and said in a hoarse voice.
"This is a score."
"For example? For example...if someone like me and someone like Jin Shu were both chasing you, which one would you hate?"
"I…"
He Shaoyu looked at Shen Mianyi who was staring at him with a red face. Before he could finish the words on his lips, he suddenly heard footsteps stop in front of the curtain.
Shen Mianyi is brave and she is not afraid of these fake things at all, but she still has to pretend to be scared at this time. When she heard footsteps, she immediately squeezed towards He Shaoyu.
"Don't be afraid, they are all fake."
"I'm not afraid if you're here."
After saying this, Shen Mianyi said with certainty.
"If I win first place this time, can you agree to one of my requests?"
"Yeah, okay."
"Don't regret it, I'm determined to take first place this time!"
After saying that, Shen Mianyi listened attentively to the reactions outside.
Not only her, but everyone else was waiting, waiting for the sound of Jin Shu being eliminated.
But at this moment, a sharp cry was heard, and Shen Mianyi quickly leaned over to look.
Jin Shu must have been arrested.
When he looked outside, he saw three people in the closet being dragged out by the clown. Xia Ke was caught red-handed. The other two were about to run away when the giant clown doll in the room suddenly moved!
Screams rang out one after another.
Xia Ke, Ji Cheng, and Kong Weishang were all arrested.
Before Shen Mianyi and the other person behind the curtain could breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly, a hand pulled open the curtain, followed by a hideous clown's head popping out.
"Hahaha! I got you!"
Just like that, the five people were neatly tied up by the clown.
"Hahahahaha, you stupid humans still want to escape from under my nose?
In five minutes, the door to this world will close. After five minutes, you will stay here with me forever!
Hahahahahahahaha!"
The laughter became farther and farther away, and the clown's figure gradually disappeared.
At the same time, a blood-red countdown suddenly appeared on the bedroom wall, and the five-minute countdown began.
The hands of the five people were fixed to an iron ring on the wall. The lock was a combination lock, and the five people were tied up with a chain. No matter how they struggled, it was useless.
Xia Ke was already scared to tears. After finally calming down, she shouted towards the camera.
"I don't want to play anymore! I don't want to play anymore! I'm so scared, my heart is about to stop!"
Ji Cheng also wailed along.
"Let me out! Ahhhhh let me out!"
Kong Weishang: "Where's Jin Shu? Why isn't she here? Was she eliminated directly?"
Shen Mianyi sighed.
"Well, I guess so. Don't act rashly. We will definitely find the key to unlock the door and escape within five minutes. Look around to see if there is anything different."
He Shaoyu looked at the clown smiling face pins placed on the cabinet in front of him.
"There should be some pattern here."
Everyone wanted to look back, but their hands were tied too tightly and they couldn't move. At this moment, the body suddenly turned around. Everyone looked down and found that there was a rotating disk under their feet!
"What's the pattern? Seeing so many smiling faces makes me dizzy."
"Colorful. I guess the numbers and the colors are related."
"And the color keeps changing so fast!" Chapter 126 The Nine-Leaked Fish Actress is the Queen of Volumes (9)
Dozens of clown icons were changing colors every minute. Because everyone was tied up, everyone's eyes could only stay on these clown icons for a dozen seconds at most.
"There are six colors in total, and each color appears in a regular pattern."
Shen Mianyi said loudly.
"The lock that locks us also has a six-digit combination! The combination must be related to the number of colors!"
He Shaoyu agreed.
"This is the only possibility. Each person counts a color and then writes down the number of colors."
At this time Xia Ke asked.
"Then how do we know the order of the password?"
Shen Mianyi smiled.
"It must be in the order of colors, so from front to back or from back to front, there are only two possibilities.
But there are only five of us now, and I will count the remaining color."
Kong Weishang, who was already dazzled, complained.
"Where's Jin Shu? We only have five minutes! If she were here, we could at least save a lot of time."
Shen Mianyi comforted him.
"Jin Shu should have been eliminated. There's nothing we can do. We can only rely on ourselves now.
Kong Weishang, you count red, Ji Cheng, you count blue, Xia Ke, you count purple.
Shao Yu, you count the black ones.
I'll count the remaining two colors."
He Shaoyu is color-blind, and only inside fans know this.
Feeling Shen Mianyi's special care, He Shaoyu looked at her one more time and inexplicably felt that the girl in front of him gave him a strong sense of reliability.
Everyone started counting according to Shen Mianyi's instructions.
As he counted and turned around, Ji Cheng's face turned pale and he almost vomited.
There is only one minute left.
At this time He Shaoyu suddenly said in a deep voice.
"Even if we know the password, how can we decipher it?"
As soon as these words were spoken, others reacted belatedly.
Yes, everyone's hands were tied, and the lock was placed in the center of the back. If you try to unlock it from this angle, you may not be able to open it even if you spend another five minutes.
Everyone counted out their own colors.
"The password is: 796696, or 696697."
Shen Mianyi tried hard to reach it, and He Shaoyu helped her from the other side.
I finally got the lock, but I had my back to the combination lock and my hands tied behind my back. The only way to open the lock was to turn my head hard to look. My eyeballs were about to be squeezed out, and it was very difficult to operate.
With only thirty seconds left, everyone's face showed nervous expressions.
Even though it's just a game, it would be too embarrassing if everyone was wiped out at the first level, and they would definitely be scolded.
Shen Mianyi's voice sounded guilty.
"It's my fault. I was too slow in counting the colors. If I had been faster, the lock might have been opened by now."
Xia Ke sighed.
"You've done your best. Without you, we wouldn't even know what the password is."
On the other side, He Shaoyu was still trying to unlock the door.
Kong Weishang cursed softly.
"The work of six people is now done by five people, which will definitely be much slower. I don't understand what the point of letting Jin Shu join in is."
[I don't understand either]
[Did anyone see how Jin Shu disappeared just now? I didn't even see clearly, Jin Shu disappeared at the end of the corridor]
[Who can see clearly in the dark? I guess he was caught by the NPC.]
[It's true that one bad apple spoils the whole barrel. If Jin Shu hadn't been eliminated, everyone wouldn't have had such a hard time! ]
[I'm putting this out there. If Jin Shu appears again in the next episode, I will never watch this variety show again.]
[Agree, it's annoying to watch]
[What the hell? Jin Shu?! Jin Shu is back?!]
The comments that were originally filled with curses were suddenly filled with exclamation marks.
[It's really Jin Shu, did the program crew let her out? ]
[How could the production team do this? She should have been hiding somewhere without being discovered]
[Hurry up, stop wasting time, help me unlock the door! ! ]
At this time, the group of five also saw Jin Shu walking over.
Seeing that there were only a dozen seconds left, everyone quickly called her over for help.
"Jin Shu! Quick! The password is: 796696, or 696697!
Hurry up! Time is running out!"
Jin Shu stared at the changing clown icon, walked over quickly, and squatted down to unlock it, her eyes still fixed on the icon on the wall.
Shen Mianyi tried hard to turn his neck and watched Jin Shu unlock the door.
When she noticed the number Jin Shu dialed, her eyes changed and she immediately shouted angrily.
"What are you doing?! The password is 796696! Can you please stop messing around?"
At this time, everyone turned to look and noticed that the password Jin Shu entered was completely different from the one they gave.
He Shaoyu's voice was cold.
"Jin Shu, time is running out for everyone. If you don't want to help, please don't make trouble."
[What the hell? Jin Shu is such a jerk! What is she doing?! ]
[What is she doing? Does she really want everyone to be buried with her?]
[Fuck! The road is turning dark! I am going to have a stupid episode! What the hell are you doing at this time!]
[Using this opportunity to show off your presence? No need, this move is really stupid, and it's disgusting! ]
[Ahhhh stop it! I really want to cyberbully you! ]
[If you can't get the love you want, you don't have to drag everyone down with you, right? Everyone is working hard to pass the level, can you not be so selfish and disgust others? ]
Xia Ke: "Jin Shu, what are you doing? You entered the wrong number."
Kong Weishang: "Stop messing around! There are only five seconds left! Do you want everyone to die with you?!"
Shen Mianyi: "Jin Shu, do you have any opinions about us? If you have any opinions, you can say it directly, or if you have any opinions about me, you can say it directly.
Really, you don't have to drag everyone down with you to lose the game. It's really annoying if you do that…"
"Click."
A crisp sound.
The sound of the lock opening came unexpectedly.
The countdown on the wall suddenly stopped at the last second.
As the darkness in the room was dispelled by the sudden lighting, the expressions on the faces of the five people in the camera could be described as a magic trick of face changing.
The scene fell into deathly silence.
Shen Mianyi let go of his hand, turned around and stared at the numbers on the combination lock. His expression was complicated and there was a hint of obscurity in his eyes.
The other people also looked at Jin Shu silently, with expressions of surprise, guilt, and relief on their faces.
At the same time, the barrage fell into a rare silence.
After three seconds of blank screen, a large wave of barrages emerged.
[What happened just now? Can Jin Shu open the lock by typing randomly? ]
[It's so funny, it's obvious that Jin Shu's password is correct, and the password someone swore he calculated is wrong! ]
[What's going on? Huh? How did Jin Shu know the correct password? ? ]
[What the hell? ? What the hell? ? ]
[Those who just cursed will be beaten! They are spewing shit without knowing right or wrong! If Jin Shu does what they say, every one of them will die now! ]
(End of this chapter) Chapter 127 The Nine-Leaked Fish Actress is the Queen of Volumes (10)
[Don't be too ridiculous. So many people failed to calculate it correctly, but she did.]
[I just want to ask if Shen Mianyi's face hurts when she was hit? If Jin Shu was targeting her, could she still help them unlock it? ]
Facing so many doubtful looks, Jin Shu said expressionlessly.
"The number of these colors is different each time. For example, the number of blue is 6 or 7, which changes back and forth.
You all only counted the last change, so naturally you didn't notice that the numbers of these colors were different before and after.
So the method of counting colors is wrong.
The only thing that remains unchanged in the entire icon is that all colors are translated at the same angle, and the distance of each translation is the same.
Yellow shift 7, blue shift 3, black shift 5, purple shift 1, red shift 4, green shift 2.
The final password is 735142."
Everyone was stunned after hearing this.
Everyone stared at the still changing pattern on the icon, and it was exactly as Jin Shu said!
The number of each color kept changing, but the translation distance remained the same.
Ji Cheng: "Then why not use the reversed numbers as the password?"
"The numbers on the locks have colors."
"ah?"
He picked up the lock and took a look. Sure enough, each number had a color on it!
The numbers corresponded to the colors, and the password was simple and clear.
My cerebellum is atrophied
[Jin Shu just looked like the top student in our class. She was explaining clearly, but I felt more and more sleepy the more I listened.]
[Really? The number of colors is inconsistent! How could she tell? Didn't she just take a look?]
[I told you that the production team had some inside information but you still don't believe it. If Jin Shu didn't know the answer in advance, I would have washed my hair live while standing upside down! ]
Of course, it was not only the audience who caught this suspicious point. Shen Mianyi looked at Jin Shu talking and walked up to her, unable to help but sneer.
"So, you figured all this out just now? You've been here for less than a minute, and you've figured out such a complicated password. Jin Shu, you're really a genius!"
"Thank you for the compliment."
Praise?
Does she really not understand or is she pretending not to understand?
I didn't expect that the director would do such a thing to promote Jin Shu. No wonder the entertainment industry is getting darker and darker, with so many unspoken rules. Excellent artists have no chance to make a breakthrough, but these sneaky and empty-headed idiots can frequently appear in front of the public.
No wonder the real Shen Mianyi committed suicide. Facing such a dark circle, it would be strange if she didn't become depressed!
The more Shen Mianyi thought about it, the angrier she became. She wanted to avenge the original owner and make those who manipulated and played with the rules pay the price.
"The eyesight of the five of us is not as good as Jin Shu's alone. I'm a little curious. Since you have such good eyesight, can you tell us how many icons there were just now?
You have such a good memory, this kind of small question will definitely not be difficult for you."
[Shen Mianyi is very stubborn. She also suspects that Jin Shu knows the rules of the game in advance.]
[Isn't this Chunchun waiting for Jin Shu to make a fool of herself? Hahaha, but I love watching it! ]
[If Jin Shu really figured out the password herself, then she would definitely be able to answer this question]
[Who can remember this? The icons change so quickly! ]
Without waiting for Jin Shu to speak, Shen Mianyi had already blocked the icons behind him.
He Shaoyu and Kong Weishang also stood over silently. The two men blocked the wall so tightly that even if Jin Shu had eyes on her head, she couldn't see a single thing.
Xia Ke glanced at Jin Shu and felt inexplicably nervous.
"Mian Yi, now that we are all safe, let's keep going and don't waste time here."
Shen Mianyi raised his eyebrows.
"It's just a matter of one sentence. It won't take much time. Jin Shu, do you want to go back and ask the director team?"
Seeing that Jin Shu didn't say anything, Shen Mianyi was certain that the director team had told her the answer in advance.
If you dare to do it but not take responsibility, then she doesn't mind adding fuel to the fire.
He Shaoyu stood beside her, curling his lips slightly.
He was attracted by the sense of justice in Shen Mianyi.
She is indomitable, fearless of power, straightforward and transparent. Unlike those masked artists in this circle, she is lively and vivid, making people want to get close to her.
[Jin Shu should just quit, really, it's good for everyone]
[This is a rubbish show, with so many artists serving as foils for Jin Shu? Is it interesting?]
[I said, if this code is really solved by Jin Shu, I will wash my hair upside down! Look, can she say a word now? ]
"Fifty-two in length and thirty-six in width, a total of 1,872."
Shen Mianyi's face froze and he subconsciously glanced at He Shaoyu.
Just now, He Shaoyu had been counting the length and width, so he knew exactly how many icons there were.
So, after seeing the shock and disbelief in He Shaoyu's eyes, Shen Mianyi's heart was gripped tightly.
She began to avoid his gaze, hesitating for a long time, and finally uttered a sentence.
"There's no need to verify some things. As long as the result is good, that's enough. No matter what you answer, we will believe it."
Jin Shu didn't say anything, just looked at them silently, then pursed her lips and smiled.
"Well, it's really not necessary. After all, everyone should be able to figure out such simple arithmetic at a glance.
Can we continue playing the game now?"
Jin Shu had only experienced what it was like to be an NPC, and this was her first time as a player, so she was very immersed in it, enjoying it, and was too lazy to argue with these people with ulterior motives.
Jin Shu's magnanimity was like a slap in the face.
Facing so many cameras, He Shaoyu felt his face burning with pain.
He turned around and looked at the densely packed icons in front of him. Even he had just taken a long time to count them, but Jin Shu could remember them all after just a glance.
Ji Cheng couldn't help but laugh.
"That's boring. It's a virtue to admit that others are better than you."
[The one who just wanted to live stream washing his hair upside down, I already follow you, either apologize to Jin Shu or get some water to wash your hair]
[It really is! I took screenshots and counted them for a long time, and it is exactly as Jin Shu said! ]
[This couldn't have been told to her in advance by the director team, right? ]
[Shen Mianyi is clearly targeting Jin Shu. She is smarter than her. She is almost dying of jealousy! ]
[It's so funny. What is there for a poor student with a high school education to be jealous of? Can playing a game change the fact that she is a poor student? Everyone knows the inside story, but I don't bother to talk about it.]
At this moment, the live broadcast suddenly cut to the director team, and the director with a serious face and no smile said something to the camera.
"The director team accepts supervision from anyone and never communicates privately with the artists in advance.
Those who swear that they have inside information in the live broadcast room, please provide evidence, otherwise our program team will investigate to the end. "
[Director Guo is angry. He is the most powerful director in the industry. How could he joke about his own reputation?]
[Where is Shen Mianyi? She was the one who started it.]
Chapter 128 The Nine-Leaked Fish Actress is the Queen of Volumes (11)
[What does this have to do with our sleepiness? Normal people will raise questions, so why don't we just clarify it?]
[It's so funny. You don't have to take responsibility for what you say. No matter what, your wife is right. It's strange. Didn't she say anything hurtful? ]
[Just watch the variety show and stop arguing. Such a good show has been ruined]
The director also had a headache.
Everything was going fine and everyone was doing their job, but unexpectedly something went wrong with Jin Shu.
The reason why Jin Shu was made a permanent guest at the beginning was to make the atmosphere of the team more relaxed. After all, as long as there is someone with high IQ, there will be someone to serve as a contrast.
No one expected that Jin Shu's IQ would suddenly improve. Not only that, she also beat everyone on the team. Even the director himself was wondering if Jin Shu had secretly read the rules of the game.
But Jin Shu's self-proof just now cleared herself of suspicion.
Now there is only one explanation, Jin Shu was very smart before, she was just pretending to be stupid to cooperate with everyone.
Didn't she say in front of the media a few days ago that she wanted to change her persona? So now she's done pretending, showing her true genius?
Something's wrong. We have to wait and see. If there's anything unexpected, the live broadcast has to be suspended at any time.
Everyone was very quiet along the way. Those who were originally laughing and talking were now silent, and no one knew what they were thinking.
After passing the first level, as soon as the door to the second level was opened, the pink bubbles that rushed in instantly stunned everyone.
Everything in front of me was so pink, from the ceiling to the floor to the surrounding walls, all were painted a dreamy pink.
The air was also filled with pink balloons.
Jin Shu narrowed her eyes, looked at the room full of princess pink with great interest, and picked up a balloon at random.
In the midst of this sea of pink is a princess bed covered with pink sheets, and on the bed sits a life-size princess doll, which is delicate and beautiful with blonde hair and blue eyes. The puppet's unique blue eyes stare blankly ahead, looking at everyone who walks into the room.
"Wow, this is too exaggerated. Is this some princess's dream bedroom?"
Kong Weishang had an exaggerated look on his face. When the pink balloon floated over, he shrugged it away with a look of disgust, as if his masculinity would be diluted by this balloon.
"I can't. I can't stand this room. It's too pink. It makes me uncomfortable."
"Do you girls all like such pink things?"
Shen Mianyi shook his head.
"I don't like it. I have never liked pink since I was a child. It's too girly.
Believe me, you guys are not the only ones who are feeling uncomfortable right now. I am also feeling suffocated."
Upon hearing this, Xia Ke looked at Shen Mianyi silently, then restrained the admiration in his eyes and whispered.
"well enough."
"I think it's pretty."
Jin Shu stared at the pink unicorn painted on the pink wall, carefully admiring this carefully decorated princess room.
Kong Weishang sneered.
"I can see that you like this kind of thing."
Xia Ke was a little angry and glared at Kong Weishang.
"What happened to Pink?"
"Nothing, it's just something little girls like. But when you get older, it's better not to use this color. It's not suitable. It looks like you're pretending to be young."
Xia Ke is twenty-seven years old and is the oldest sister here.
Kong Weishang's joke, said with a smile, made her feel blocked in her heart, and she hit him angrily and anxiously.
But it's not good to show too much anger in front of the camera.
Shen Mianyi stepped forward and put his arm around Xia Ke's shoulders.
"I like pink, it's so cute, like a little girl, it makes people want to protect her.
Which girl doesn't want to make people want to protect her?
You straight men, if you don't know how to speak, then don't talk nonsense. "
Kong Weishang nodded repeatedly and begged for mercy.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong just now, those who like pink are all little princesses, okay?
Shen Mianyi, you are a real man, come and stand with us!"
Shen Mianyi picked up a balloon and was about to hit him, but suddenly there was a loud "bang" and the balloon in her hand exploded. Shen Mianyi was frightened and screamed, and subconsciously hid behind He Shaoyu.
The balloon in Xia Ke's hand also exploded. She was startled. When she came to her senses, she had already grabbed Jin Shu's arm. Jin Shu stood in front of her, holding the exploded balloon skin in her hand, with a calm face.
[Jin Shu is as calm as a fake person]
[I am dying of laughter. Shen Mianyi, the real man who hates pink, hides behind others, while Jin Shu, the little princess who likes pink, protects Xia Ke with an indifferent look]
[Is pink a color that is not suitable for the public? The look of disdain on your face is really disgusting. Even if you don't like it, please don't dislike it, okay? 】
[I don't like pink, but I don't despise this color either. The Queen of England also likes pink, and it doesn't stop her from being the Queen.]
The balloon exploded and countless gold powder burst out from it.
Xia Ke subconsciously locked his neck, but after waiting for a while, he found that there was no gold powder on his body at all.
Looking up, she saw Jin Shu standing in front of her, her body slightly leaning forward, her nearly 1.75 meter height blocking her completely.
The gold powder fell all over her back, but her body was clean.
"Jin Shu, you...you are all dirty."
Jin Shu lowered her eyes and patted the gold powder on her hair.
"It's dirty, I have a lot of clothes."
Xia Ke looked up at her. Although Jin Shu had two ponytails, her facial features were firm and stylish, her nose was high and delicate, and her lips were light pink. Her neutral face was matched with her cold eyes. For a moment, Xia Ke's heart began to pound.
[Oh no, it's a heart-pounding feeling]
[Oh no, I just thought Jin Shu was very handsome]
[He subconsciously protects his companions. How bad can such a person be? ]
[Xia Ke, can you be more motivated? Your nose is bleeding.]
[Ahhhh, Jin Shu really looked like the boy in my dream just now!]
[Jin Shu always has a youthful vibe, which is especially evident when she isn't smiling]
And at this time on the other side.
At the critical moment, Shen Mianyi was hugged in He Shaoyu's arms, and the two of them maintained this posture for nearly a minute. Golden powder fell from the sky. Shen Mianyi slowly raised his head and looked at He Shaoyu.
The camera also accurately gives them a close-up of their faces.
[What the hell? They hugged each other? ]
[Is this considered an official announcement? I was fed some dog food while watching a secret room show]
【Ahhhhh so sweet, so sweet, so sweet!】
[Honestly, I just want to watch a variety show quietly, without doing this, okay? If it really doesn't work, can you two start another dating variety show and participate in it? ]
[Jin Shu's side is more pleasing to the eye]
[As a ten-year-old fan of He Shaoyu, I am not happy at all when I see this scene]
There was something going on between Shen Mianyi and He Shaoyu, as we could see in the last episode.
During the break in filming, the two were photographed eating together and going in and out together several times.
(End of this chapter) Now everyone knows the relationship between the two, so their interaction at this time is more like desensitizing the fans, so that they can accept the fact that their idols are going to be in love sooner.
The content of the barrage at this time was complicated, with blessings and curses. Of course, curses accounted for the majority.
"How long are you going to hold me?"
When everyone was silent, Jin Shu said this bluntly.
He Shaoyu gave her a cold look, then let go of her hand.
"The countdown has begun. I suggest you go out and find a place where no one is around and continue hugging."
Xia Ke tried to hold back his laughter, and looking at the unnatural expressions of the two people opposite him, he couldn't help but add a sentence.
"Jin Shu loves to joke around, but we really don't have much time now, let's find clues and get out quickly."
[Jin Shu: My mouth stand-in]
[I really can't stand anyone showing affection in front of me! Not to mention that He Shaoyu is my husband! ]
[Congratulations, your husband is in love]
[I love watching the sweet moments. Jin Shu can't eat the grapes and says they are sour. It's really interesting]
[Hurry up and play the game! It's so slow! Can you be quicker? ]
At this time, Shen Mianyi, one of the protagonists, just thought Jin Shu was funny.
The way she is unable to get the love she wants is really interesting. Shen Mianyi doesn't mind continuing to stimulate her so that she will completely give up on this idea.
Just then, the sound of a little girl sobbing was heard in the room.
"Have any of you seen my master? Her name is Alice, and it seems like she hasn't come to play with me for a long time. Who are you? Are you here to play with me?"
Everyone was shocked.
Jin Shu turned around and looked towards the source of the voice, and finally her eyes stopped on the doll on the bed.
Just when everyone was staring at the puppet, suddenly, the puppet's eyes moved.
"ah!"
Xia Ke was so scared that he jumped up on the spot and subconsciously grabbed Jin Shu's arm.
"One of you is my friend, one of my kind. Leave that person behind, and the rest of you can leave. Otherwise...all of you should stay with me."
The little girl continued as her laughter echoed throughout the house.
"My kind are very slow. Inside the balloons here are small notes written by my master. The person who finds the least notes is my kind."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone started looking for the balloons on the ground.
"The balloon... there's a note inside the balloon, and we need to pop the balloon now!"
As he spoke, Kong Weishang picked up the balloon and stepped on it.
With one kick after another, the balloons exploded with a "bang", and the room was filled with gold powder that was dazzling.
Everyone would bend down and search on the ground.
At this time, Shen Mianyi noticed that Jin Shu did not join the others in the search, but stood there with her eyes wandering around.
"Jin Shu, what are you doing? Have you found a better way?"
The only thing Shen Mianyi could be sure of was that Jin Shu must have known the rules of the game in advance. She just couldn't believe that someone like Jin Shu would suddenly become smart.
The only way to deal with such a person is to do whatever she does, even if she knows the inside story, so what? Everyone should keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't think she can steal the show alone!
Jin Shu didn't say anything, just stared at the balloon pattern on the wall. Suddenly she looked away, as if she was worried about being discovered.
Shen Mianyi caught the look in her eyes just now, understood what she was looking at, and smiled sarcastically.
"Don't even bother looking for it on the ground. It's a waste of time."

Chapter 130 The Nine-Leaked Fish Actress is the Queen of Volumes (13)
Several other people raised their heads and looked at her.
"What do you mean? The note wasn't in the balloon?"
"Of course the note was in the balloon, but it didn't say which balloon it was in."
"Ah? What do you mean?"
Shen Mianyi walked straight forward and knocked on the wall.
"Tear off the wallpaper and you will know."
There were also balloon patterns painted on the wall, and everyone suddenly realized what was going on.
"Yeah, she didn't say whether the balloon was real or fake, maybe it's behind the wallpaper!"
"What a waste of time! Hurry up and take down the wallpaper."
"No wonder I couldn't find it after searching for so long. So that's how it is...Mian Yi, you are really smart."
Shen Mianyi just smiled, then looked at Jin Shu slowly, his eyes full of mockery.
"Jin Shu, what do you think? Where will the note be?"
Jin Shu pointed to the balloons on the ground that had not yet exploded.
"Yes, here."
"Then go look for it in the balloon."
Anyway, Shen Mianyi could see that Jin Shu must have known the rules in advance and was only thinking about showing off without giving others any chance to perform. In that case, don't blame her for taking the lead.
The people here were tearing the wallpaper in full swing. The wallpaper was thick and hard, and the three men were so tired that they were panting.
At this time, on the other side, Jin Shu took off the remaining balloons, untied the buckles and let the air out little by little, then pinched the deflated balloons, and soon squeezed out a hard object from one of them.
After tearing it open, there was a piece of paper inside.
Jin Shu continued to pinch balloons in this way, and found seven notes among the remaining dozen balloons.
This thing is very small and inconspicuous. It will fly out along with the gold powder when the balloon explodes. After being dyed with color, it will fall to the ground and you can't find it even if you lie down to look for it.
It is much easier to pinch them one by one using this method.
At this time, the people behind him were already furious.
[Stop it, Jin Shu is about to get off work! ]
[The props team was really helpless. They said the note was inside the balloon, but they still kept tearing the wallpaper.]
[Hahahaha, Jin Shu looks so stupid standing there holding the note]
[Jin Shu's emotions are very stable. It must be great to work with such a person]
[Why does Shen Mianyi have to pick on the wallpaper? Those three men are like her three dogs, biting whatever she points at them, without any use of brains]
Jin Shu ignored them and opened the note by herself. She saw the clues and figured out the password, then entered the password to open the door.
"Snap!"
When the door opened, the small pink lights in the whole house lit up.
The few people who were fighting behind him suddenly raised their heads, then turned around in confusion and looked at Jin Shu who was already standing at the door, with a moment of daze on their faces.
Shen Mianyi was also stunned.
Just now, she was studying the correct position of the note and didn't notice what Jin Shu was doing behind her!
Just then, Jin Shu pointed to the pile of balloon fragments on the ground.
"There should be some notes in here. If I'm guessing correctly, the person who finds fewer notes may be punished."
With that she walked out.
The door closed again shortly afterwards.
The few people who originally wanted to go out with him were dumbfounded.
At this time, the voice of the doll came from above my head again.
"This door can only let one person out at a time. There are only five passwords to open the door. There are four passwords left. You better work hard."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Ke was the first to squat down and look for the note.
"Jin Shu, where are you? I can't find you!"
Xia Ke was so anxious that her eyes turned red. She had just been ordered to tear off the wallpaper, and she just followed suit without thinking.
How could a girl possibly compare to those men in strength? Now both of her arms were shaking. Not to mention finding the note, even her thing felt sore and weak.
It seems that she will definitely be the last one and will be punished when the time comes.
Xia Ke asked Jin Shu for help with red eyes. Jin Shu was standing at the glass door. There was a door between the two of them, so only the two of them could hear their conversation.
Shen Mianyi looked at the two people whispering about something, and his already depressed heart turned into anger.
"Jin Shu, is there anything you can't share with everyone? We are all a team, but you only favor one person. Are you happy only when we form a group and cause conflicts?"
Through the glass, Xia Ke helped Jin Shu pass the message.
"Jin Shu said that the note is on the ground."
"She also said that you didn't believe what she said before."
"Yes, you guys didn't appreciate Jin Shu's help before. Even when she told us the note was inside the balloon, we didn't believe her.
You've hurt people's feelings time and again, and now you're saying these things, it's really too much."
Shen Mianyi's expression was somewhat complicated and his eyes were cold.
"Given the experience of the previous episodes, it will take some time for everyone to believe in her.
Now we choose to believe her, isn't this also a kind of recognition of her?"
Xia Ke was a little confused. What he said did sound right, but something just didn't seem right.
At this time, He Shaoyu on the side finally couldn't help it.
"Don't waste time!"
When he said this, his eyes were looking at Jin Shu outside the glass.
[Boss He couldn't help but lose his temper. The atmosphere in this episode was really bad.]
[If you lose your temper, go find someone. Who are you angry with? Who tolerates your temper, young master? ]
[I am dying of laughter. I am so angry out of shame.]
[Jin Shu is so wronged. No one believed what she said before, and now everyone blames her even though she doesn't say anything. She can get shot even when she is lying down.]
[Please ask Jin Shu to come again for the master version of the single issue. I just want to see how Jin Shu breaks through the levels]
Jin Shu's reputation in the barrage is quietly reversing.
At this time, Xia Ke was also very angry, and he looked at Shen Mianyi and said something directly.
"You've said all the good and bad things about me, why should Jin Shu get your approval?"
After saying that, she went on looking for the note according to Jin Shu's instructions.
There was a small handheld fan next to the girl's bed. She turned on the fan and blew slowly towards the gold powder on the ground. As the gold powder scattered, the paper pressed underneath slowly appeared.
Just like that, Xia Ke found the password from the note without much effort, opened the door and walked out.
Before leaving, Ji Cheng quickly asked for the fan and followed Xia Ke's method. He found the third string of password in less than five minutes.
The small fan in my hand still has some power, but not much.
Ji Cheng thought about it and put the fan on the ground.
"Whoever wants to use it can use it."
Shen Mianyi picked it up and saw that the red light was on the fan charging port.
"There's no electricity, what's the use of it?"
She looked around and spoke to herself.
"We have to cooperate. We can't waste time like before. Let me fan you with the board, and you two will be responsible for searching. When we find the password, we will find a way to get out together."
He Shaoyu, who had been standing quietly by the side, nodded.
