Who's going to be the female lead's simp? Aren't the supporting female characters mor

Lin Ruyu was knocked off balance and nearly twisted her ankle.

"you--!"

None of her carefully prepared lines, nor the imagined scene of Li Yan weeping and filled with regret, came to pass.

He just left like that?

They didn't even bother to curse her, treating her like air or a fly.

"Hahahaha..."

Someone in the crowd couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Immediately afterwards, suppressed laughter erupted.

Those gazes that were originally filled with disdain have now turned into blatant mockery.

Lin Ruyu stood in the middle of the road, her face turning red and white in turns.

The shame burned like fire on her face.

She was also a student at a prestigious university and was once a campus beauty who was cherished by everyone.

But now, in the face of Li Yan's words about flies, her tens of thousands of yuan outfit looks like a clown's costume.

……

By the window on the third floor of the administration building.

Bai Jingyou held a cup of Americano in his hand, leaning against the windowsill, taking in the scene below.

Jiang Mengyao stood beside him, shaking her head helplessly: "What on earth is Lin Ruyu thinking? Instead of being high-profile and keeping a low profile at a time like this, she comes here to provoke Li Yan."

"It's filled with water, and boiling water at that."

Feng Ling, with a lollipop in her mouth, was peering intently through the glass. "Brother Bai, look! That woman's face is so amazing! It turns red one minute and white the next, just like the traffic lights over there. Is she broken?"

Bai Jingyou couldn't help but laugh out loud, reaching out to ruffle the little girl's hair: "That's a very apt description. She's not broken, she's experiencing a system malfunction."

"What system?" Feng Ling blinked her big eyes.

"A system that thinks it's the sun." Bai Jingyou took a sip of coffee, his eyes cold. "She thinks the whole world should revolve around her. Once she realizes she's just a speck of dust that nobody cares about, her logic collapses."

Lin Ruyu downstairs was clearly on the verge of a breakdown.

She whirled around and yelled at the students who were watching the spectacle, "What are you laughing at! Shut up, all of you! Believe me or not, I'll get Young Master Su to fire you all!"

In response, she was met with stares from many people who looked at her as if she were crazy. Everyone dispersed, no one wanting to argue with a madwoman.

Lin Ruyu's hands trembled as she pulled out her phone and dialed her agent's number.

"Hey! What are you doing? Didn't you say you were going to do PR for me?" she yelled hysterically into the receiver, completely disregarding her image. "Why are people at school still acting like this? I don't care what method you use, right now! Buy me trending topics, hire online trolls!"

"I want everyone to know that it wasn't Bai Jingyou who dumped me, it was me who dumped him! It was because Young Master Su fell in love with me at first sight and pursued me relentlessly that I agreed to sign with Brilliant Entertainment! Did you hear that? I'll portray Bai Jingyou as that kind of clingy, obsessive ex!"

On the other end of the phone, the agent repeatedly agreed, and after hanging up, turned around and went into Su Nan's office.

……

The top floor of Brilliant Entertainment.

Su Nan was practicing putting in his office with a golf club.

After listening to the agent's report, he gently pushed the ball, and the little white ball rolled into the hole in an elegant arc.

"She said that I was the one who pursued her relentlessly?" Su Nan straightened up, took the towel handed to him by his secretary, wiped his hands, and had a playful smile on his face.

"Yes, Mr. Su, Ms. Lin is very agitated." The agent carefully observed his boss's expression. "Should I... warn her?"

"What warning?"

Su Nan tossed the towel aside and walked to the French windows. "What great material. The more foolish and vain she is, the more effective this knife becomes. If she's too clever, she'll be harder to control."

"Do as she says," Su Nan said calmly, "but don't use the official account to post it. Find a few marketing accounts to muddy the waters."

The more Lin Ruyu makes a scene, the more Bai Jingyou's energy will be diverted.

What he needed to do was to take a big bite out of the Bai family while Bai Jingyou was distracted.

……

Haicheng University Men's Library.

When Bai Jingyou arrived at the library, Li Yan was bragging to his roommates. As soon as he saw his boss return, he immediately rushed over to greet him.

"Brother Bai, you didn't see what happened just now, it was so satisfying! Lin Ruyu was dressed like a ghost, trying to scare me."

"I saw it all." Bai Jingyou patted his shoulder. "Good job. Just ignore this kind of filth from now on. Talking to her is beneath you."

He sat back down at his desk and turned on his phone.

The icon in the lower right corner of the screen is flashing; it's an encrypted email from Chen Mo.

Bai Jingyou clicked on it, quickly glanced through it, and frowned slightly.

The email contained an investigation report on the land reclamation project that the Su family was recently pushing forward with.

In the email, Chen Mo wrote: "Young Master, the Su family is very tight on security this time. All core project data is physically isolated, and all participants have signed the highest level of confidentiality agreements. I tried contacting a few outsiders, but they're all tight-lipped. This project is like an iron barrel; not a drop of water can be poured in."

Bai Jingyou tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

drum?

There is no wall that cannot be opened, nor is there a fortress that cannot be breached.

So-called iron buckets often rust from the inside out.

He closed his eyes, recalling the plot about the Su family from the original novel.

Although the plot has been disrupted, the relationships and underlying personalities of the characters will remain unchanged.

Su Nan appears to be gentle and refined, but in reality, he is extremely suspicious and prone to nepotism.

A moment later, Bai Jingyou opened his eyes, picked up his phone, and dialed Chen Mo's number.

"Hey, young master."

"There's no need to forcefully poach that project team; it'll only alert them." Bai Jingyou's voice was calm. "Go investigate someone. Liu Zhen, the deputy general manager of the Su Group's project department."

"Liu Zhen?" Chen Mo asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Yes. If I remember correctly, during last year's internal competition at Su's Group, Liu Zhen was far superior to the current project manager in terms of both seniority and ability. But in the end, it was Su Nan's college classmate and confidant who took the position."

Bai Jingyou's lips curled into a cold smile. "Liu Zhen has been feeling stifled in this position for over a year, watching people less capable than himself bossing him around. He should have been holding back his anger for a while."

"Since there's a metal barrel outside, let's hand them a hammer and let them smash the barrel themselves."

Chen Mo's voice immediately became excited on the other end of the phone: "Understood, young master! I'll get it done right away and make sure the hammer gets to Liu Zhen."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Jingyou casually picked up a gold-embossed invitation card from the table.

Those were specially printed by Qianyu Technology for next week's new product launch.

He looked at the name that hadn't been filled in the special guest section of the invitation, picked up his pen, and wrote four characters in a flowing, elegant style:

Brilliant Entertainment.

......

Qianyu Technology held its new product launch at the Haicheng International Convention Center, and the scale of the event was astounding.

Before nine o'clock, the parking lot was already packed with luxury cars. Media reporters with their long lenses and microphones blocked the entrance, no one wanting to miss this double feast for the tech and capital circles.

A luxury car with consecutive license plates slowly came to a stop.

The car door opened, and Su Nan stepped out, looking dashing in a bespoke gray suit.

He didn't rush in, but instead gentlemanly walked around to the other side, opened the car door, and even thoughtfully shielded the door frame with his hand.

A fair hand rested on his palm.

Lin Ruyu came out.

She was wearing a burgundy strapless dress today, and the diamond necklace around her neck was almost blinding under the flashlights.

After last night's rollercoaster of life experiences, she is now even more excited.

The feeling of being pampered by the most powerful and influential not only cured her fears but also fueled her vanity to the point of inflating it.

"Click, click, click—"

The sound of camera shutters clicking was continuous.

Lin Ruyu held Su Nan's arm, her chin slightly raised, like a hen that had just won a fight.

Upon entering the venue, Su Nan did not go to the ordinary VIP seats arranged by the organizers, but instead led Lin Ruyu straight to the center of the first row.

That position was originally reserved for city leaders, but in the face of capital, even positions can be moved.

As she sat down, Lin Ruyu made a point of looking back.

Behind the VIP seats, Bai Jingyou was looking down at his phone, with Jiang Mengyao sitting next to him.

The two seemed to be talking about something and didn't look this way at all.

Installed.

Continue assembling.

A surge of anger welled up inside Lin Ruyu.

In the past, Bai Jingyou's gaze towards her was always filled with a cautious, ingratiating look. Now, this indifference was even more painful than being directly scolded.

She deliberately leaned closer to Su Nan and giggled in his ear, her voice neither too loud nor too soft, just enough to carry to the back.

Jiang Mengyao frowned and couldn't help rolling her eyes: "Does this woman have a brainstem deficiency? She's putting on an act in a situation like this."

Bai Jingyou put away his phone without even lifting his eyelids: "Let her act. With such a big stage set up, there always needs to be a clown to liven things up."

"Su Nan arranged for her to sit in the first row. He's practically offering his face to be slapped." Jiang Mengyao looked at Su Nan's confident back and said with some worry, "He dares to be so high-profile. He must have some cards up his sleeve."

"A card?" Bai Jingyou chuckled, tapping his knee with his finger. "What he's holding is a bomb. But I have the fuse."

The lights suddenly dimmed.

As the rousing opening music began, a giant countdown was projected onto the stage using holographic projection.

3, 2, 1.

Bai Qianqian, wearing 10-centimeter high heels and a smart pure white suit, strode onto the stage.

She didn't bring a prepared speech, nor did she say any polite platitudes or even an opening remark.

"I am Bai Qianqian."

She stood in the center of the stage, and the large screen behind her, which had been completely dark, suddenly lit up.

"This is Qianyu Technology's report card for the past year."

The next twenty minutes belonged to Bai Qianqian.

She used the simplest language to demonstrate the core logic of the project.

There were many experts in the audience, and the more they listened, the more serious their expressions became. If this thing were to be mass-produced, many companies would have to close down tomorrow.

Lin Ruyu didn't understand these technical terms and just found them boring.

She kept observing Su Nan's expression.

Su Nan listened attentively, even nodding occasionally, but there was a knife hidden in that smile.
