Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

Don't let Wang Manni's tough exterior fool you. ♝🐜 👌🎈

She's just a paper tiger.

That domineering tug.

This completely broke down her psychological defenses. Wang Manni was being held hostage by Li Haoyu, her face pressed against his. She had no way to resist and could only remain motionless with her mouth tightly shut.

Wang Manni's face instantly turned bright red, the color spreading to her ears. She looked utterly dejected. But Wang Manni had no better option than to comply.

She had no choice but to accept her fate.

Li Haoyu, however, showed no mercy.

After all, this is just the beginning. If she can't even handle this little test, what will she do in the future?

If Wang Manni finds out that he's won over Gu Jia and Gu Xiaoqin, her two best friends, how devastated will she be? Li Haoyu feels he has to help her a lot.

…………

After finishing, Li Haoyu leaned against the wall and said,

"Young lady, you're not young anymore. Do you still want to be a sales clerk in a luxury store for the rest of your life? Didn't you aspire to achieve something great? Do you have any ideas now?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Manni was instantly energized.

She, who had been feeling dejected, suddenly perked up. "You finally remembered me... I've been waiting for you to say that for so long!" However, since Li Haoyu had just bought a house in Junyue Mansion, she was too embarrassed to bring it up herself.

Wang Manni sighed and said, "Actually, I don't know what I can do either. I've been a shop assistant for several years now. (Acting) But you suddenly asked me, and I really don't know how to answer you."

Li Haoyu nodded as well.

Actually, he thought Wang Manni was formal and had her merits.

Wang Manni has a strong, competitive spirit, but that spirit is more about proving herself. She's never satisfied with the status quo, even in her main job of selling goods.

Wang Manni did an excellent job. She knew everything about the product, its selling points, and its sales highlights. She even analyzed the reasons for the backlog of goods.

She constantly improved her professional skills in order to get a promotion. But Wang Manni didn't realize that even if she did get promoted to store manager, it wouldn't be enough.

There's still a significant gap between the life she wants and the reality of her life. Just like how Wang Manni is the kind of woman many men dream of sleeping with, but few are willing to marry her.

But this is life, it forced her to become like this.

She devoted the best eight years of her life to capital, exhausted herself and damaged her health, gave all the money she earned back to capital, and in the end, she was almost manipulated by capitalists.

Thinking of this, Li Haoyu patted her on the shoulder.

"It's not important if you don't have any ideas. You need to calm down and think about it first. Anyway, I'll back you up. Even if you fail a few times, it's not a big deal."

"You can come find me anytime you've made up your mind," Li Haoyu said, noticing that Wang Manni seemed rather down.

He changed the subject, saying, "If you're feeling down lately, take a few days off to clear your head. Talking to your friends is also a good option."

Wang Manni nodded. "Recently, I actually met a pretty interesting girl who's about my age. She's a bit of a tomboy, but she's very warm-hearted."

"She helped me solve a big problem before, and I still owe her a favor. I was thinking of treating her to a meal recently."

Li Haoyu didn't think much of it at first.

But the more he listened, the more familiar Wang Manni's description seemed to him.

"Could it be her?"

Li Haoyu spoke with a mixture of curiosity and speculation.

"Who is this person?"

Wang Manni said, "Her name is Zhong Xiaoqin, and she is an ordinary employee of our shopping mall's property management company."

As expected, the person Wang Manni was talking about was Zhong Xiaoqin. No wonder she sounded so familiar.

Li Haoyu realized he had overlooked something. He had almost forgotten that "Nothing But Thirty" had a third female lead, Zhong Xiaoqin.

However, this cannot be entirely blamed on Li Haoyu. Compared to Gu Jia, who has the perfect female lead script, and Wang Manni, who is charming and alluring, Zhong Xiaoqin seems a little insignificant.

In the original ending, Wang Manni was still very difficult and didn't find love. She chose to study abroad alone, while Gu Jia got divorced and had to clean up the mess left by Xu Huanshan.

Chung Hsiao-chin's ending was actually the best; she became the ultimate winner in life.

This ending was once considered outrageous by many. But Li Haoyu believes that there must be a reason behind every successful life.

Li Haoyu believed that Zhong Xiaoqin must feel the same way.

It's important to know that in the original novel, Zhong Xiaoqin is a typical "lazy girl":

She found an ordinary job, fulfilled all her colleagues' needs, and would voluntarily give up a once-in-a-lifetime promotion opportunity because of her pregnancy. She had no grand goals and enjoyed the happiness of mediocrity.

She lived her life in a daze, lacking drive and ambition, and unable to say no—a typical people-pleasing personality. Yet, this was precisely the type of girl Li Haoyu encountered most often in real life.

Even Zhong Xiaoqin was someone Li Haoyu knew before he obtained the system.

The ideal girlfriend template.

Besides, while abalone, sea cucumber, and shark fin are delicious, you get tired of eating them every day. But when Wang Manni suddenly mentioned Zhong Xiaoqin, he actually became more interested.

Li Haoyu was lost in thought.

How is he going to win over Zhong Xiaoqin?

Li Haoyu was woken up by Wang Manni shaking him.

Wang Manni asked curiously, "Honey, what are you thinking about? Why did you suddenly space out while we were talking? Did you hear what I just said?"

Li Haoyu came to his senses and said.

"It's nothing. I just suddenly remembered that there are some things to take care of at the company. Please continue."

Wang Manni didn't think much of it and continued.

"I did think about buying her a more expensive gift before. But she would never accept it, so now I don't know how to thank her."

"What do you think, honey?"

Upon hearing this, Li Haoyu's eyes lit up.

He started to egg Wang Manni on.

"True friends don't express their gratitude by giving gifts directly. It's too tacky and insincere. I think it would be better to invite Zhong Xiaoqin to our home for a meal."

"I'll personally accompany her to properly thank her."

Wang Manni shook her head. "I've thought about this before, but Zhong Xiaoqin and her husband seem to be having some disagreements lately. Although she hasn't talked to me in detail, I feel that their problems are quite serious."

"It might even lead to divorce."

"Right now isn't the right time; I'll wait for another opportunity!"

Li Haoyu asked with some surprise, "Is your friend getting a divorce?"

Wang Manni replied, "This is all just my guess. It's not clear yet, but a woman's intuition tells me that it's very likely that Zhong Xiaoqin will get a divorce."

It's a woman's intuition again!

This is really weird!

Then it's pretty much certain that she's getting a divorce.

However, this also means that his opportunity is coming.

This is interesting!
