《There Will Always Be Protagonists With Delusions of Starting a Harem》Chapter 24
Advertisement
On the day of the Qi Xi festival, the full version of the MV was released –Ouyang Zhi and Yao Cheng's Weibo almost being crushed by fans. At the same time, Zhang Xinran was job-hopping and looking for a new agency.
Ye Zhizhou who had heard the news was stunned to the point that he had almost spilled the milk in his hand, "Where did she go?"
"Huang Tu." Qing Xiao handed over the napkin, before pausing and then kindly stating, "Please do not ask this question in front of Boss, he'll be angry if you pay attention to Miss Zhang." If the Boss got angry, it was a guaranteed bad day for the subordinates.
Ye Zhizhou who heard this hurriedly put down his milk, and asked, "I remember she signed the contract here – the penalty for breaking the contract is several million. Did she pay it? Also, the condition Mu Tian gave her were great, why did she change agencies?" Not even staying for months, before leaving? Directly going to her agency in her previous life, Huang Tu, to do what?
"The penalty was paid for by Huang Tu, as for the reason......" Qing Xiao looked at him, as if wanting to say something, but hesitating.
Ye Zhizhou was baffled by his look, "Why are you looking at me like that, is it because of me?"
"Not at all." Qing Xiao shook his head, though of his words and explained, "Boss didn't like Miss Zhang, and then the subordinates heard about it......"
"......So it really is because of me." His face grew stiff, a deadpan expression gradually showing.
Qing Xiao hurriedly summoned his courage upon seeing this, "Mr. Yao, you're now together with Boss, please don't care too much about this sort of thing – if the Boss know, you......"
"Good!" His deadpan face suddenly sprung up like a blooming flower, completely lacking in integrity, Ye Zhizhou stood up in high spirits. He quickly faced the Gaming Room in joy, "Let's play games to celebrate! Ouyang Zhi can come out and play with me!"
Qing Xiao's unfinished words got choked in his throat, and after his coughing fit, he just sighed. Mr. Yao's temper...... as a supposedly golden assistant, he really was not capable enough.
Zhang Xinran did more than just changing agency though, as she also rode the ship of the recently hot actress, Liu Fei Fei.
{Ed. Note: riding another's ship is in reference to riding on someone's coattails – leaching off someone else's fame.}
The world was changing so fast that Ye Zhizhou found it a bit hard to adjust.
The number one hot topic on Weibo currently was Ouyang Zhi's release of the complete MV. The second hot topic was the friendly photo of Liu Fei Fei and Zhang Xinran participating in an activity together, captioned with 'My newest little sister is so cute hahaha'.
The fans were all surprised at Zhang XinRan's sudden change of agencies, and various theories began breeding like flies. No one congratulated her, and many were even questioning her decision.
Ye Zhizhou couldn't understand why the protagonist was doing this. He moved to the computer to hack into Huang Tu's system, being surprised at his findings: Huang Tu had signed a Grade A contract with Zhang Xinran, also giving her the same salary as Liu Fei Fei! Xinran was also given the same manager as Liu Fei Fei – the same manager who had helped Liu Fei Fei and Yao Cheng ruthlessly crush Zhang Xinran in the previous life.

Enemies to friends, what was the protagonist thinking?
Not waiting for him to figure it out, a phone call from Zhang Xinran came in, asking if he was participating in the recording of this weekend's variety show in S Province.
Her tone was reserved and cold, like a goddess of superiority. Hearing this, Ye Zhizhou just rolled his eyes, and stiffly answered, "I did receive an invitation for the program from Hao Ge. I'll come – after all, this is to promote the drama."
Recently, Li Hao had sold the drama's copyright to S Province's TV station. The reason they had to participate in this variety show was to create hype around the drama yet again. Because of this, he definitely had to participate.
"Yes." Getting a positive answer, Zhang Xinran's attitude immediately chilled.
With a vaguely hinting to something, she said, "Then I'll wait for you in the program. I'll introduce you to a good opportunity – no need to thank me." Then she directly hung up, as if he wouldn't be able to refuse such a deal.
Ye Zhizhou looked at his phone, dumbfounded. Was this protagonist really in the entertainment industry for more than ten years in her last life? Their fans could be said to be fire and water on Weibo – no longer contacting each other after the drama ended. Where did she find this confidence in the idea that Yao Cheng won't refuse her? She wanted to introduce an opportunity to him? Isn't it just wanting to dig a hole for him?
In the Huang Tu actors' lounge, Zhang Xinran put down the phone – tidying up her make up in the mirror. Squeezing out a simple brilliant smile, she went out to the lounge next door, and knocked. Playfully, she leaned on the door and said, "Liu Jie, the full version of the MV I showed you before came out. Do you want to see it?"
Liu Fei Fei, who was fixing up her make-up, immediately brightened up after hearing this. Putting down her lipstick, she then said, "This younger sister definitely knows me well. Where is the video? By the way, you said that you will introduce me to the actor in the video. You can't lie to me, ok?"
"Of course, I won't lie to you." Xinran smiled and took out her cellphone, a dim light flashing in her eyes. "I promise that I'll introduce you properly, and let you two get to know each other."
On Sunday, the paparazzi confirmed that last Wednesday, Sun Han Ya, the actress who was going to be starring as the main female lead in the drama 《Fang Hua Jin》, was suddenly arrested because of illegal drug. On the following day, the crew announced the withdrawal of Sun Han Ya from the set, surprisingly being replaced by none other than Liu Fei Fei. Later, according to the investigation, the third female lead was also involved in the case ––– her role was revoked and given to Zhang Xinran who immediately accepted...
After hearing this news, Ye Zhizhou finally put away his careless attitude and frowned slightly.
This illegal drug case was too timely.
Sun Han Ya was someone who debuted as a child star, developing into a national level actress very smoothly. Therefore, this person was somewhat pure. In the previous life, when the protagonist was down, Sun Han Ya empathized with her, so the protagonist was very grateful to Sun Han Ya. Unfortunately, Sun Han Ya was unlucky, and she had a boyfriend who secretly used drugs. In a police anti-drug operation, she got implicated by her boyfriend. In the original story after the protagonist's rebirth, she showed Sun Han Ya her boyfriend's true face to show her gratitude for Sun Han Ya's help in the previous life. They soon became good friends.

Now, Sun Han Ya should have just started a relationship with her boyfriend. Her boyfriend's illegal drug case should not have been blown up at this time. After thinking it over, there was only one possibility – this was the work of the protagonist.
Even her benefactor who had helped her in the previous life were dragged to the pit. This protagonist's heart...... was thoroughly black!
Ye Zhizhou's mood was somewhat complicated. He could understand the protagonist's hatred for Yao Cheng and Liu Fei Fei – after all, they were the slag and the mistress, they were meant to be hated. But Sun Han Ya was really innocent...... was this really the woman who was running on the front lines trying to help the suffering women and children? The protagonist?
The news of replaced cast had become unpleasant to the eyes. After careful consideration, he realised that Zhang Xinran had still gotten everything that she was meant to get in the original plot – excluding the change of agencies and her playing the third female lead instead of the second. Under such torment, the plot had still not been broken. He had thought that losing the golden thigh had blocked the protagonist's way to re-enter the entertainment industry, but there was always another road – and all roads led to Rome.
These tumultuous thoughts suddenly stopped, and an ominous feeling rose in his heart. If the protagonist was destined to rely on this ancient drama's popularity, then the following event would be......
He took a quick look at the story's plot line, and painfully rubbed his face. When the protagonist's popularity blew up due to the drama, Liu Fei Fei, who recently became a movie queen, kept Yao Cheng. Their intimate photos were immediately leaked, and Yao Cheng became synonymous with the words 'boy toy'. Due to this, he could not enter the entertainment industry ever again.
The phone call from a few days ago flashed through his mind – the protagonist said that she would introduce a good opportunity to Yao Cheng...... then, thinking of the protagonist who recently got close to Liu Fei Fei, and also the case with her benefactor, Sun Han Ya, who's replacement for the first female role was Liu Fei Fei....
It seems that he was not far away from being kept for.
When Sunday arrived, Ye Zhizhou was immediately surrounded by enthusiastic fans after getting off at the appointed place. Their screams were deafening and the road was blocked. Fortunately, the bodyguard sent by Ouyang Chun was quite efficient – successfully separating the fans and creating a passage for him which to the door of the TV station.
After several waves of screaming, Zhang Xinran and the other slightly popular cast members of the crew arrived one after another. Because of the presence of the television staff, everyone acted very friendly.
Zhang Xinran stood among several actresses. From time to time, she looked in the direction of Ye Zhizhou. Not only did he not see her, he also did not take the initiative to come and say hello. She wanted to ignore him, but remembering Liu Fei Fei who was in the hotel near the TV station, Zhang Xinran frowned. Reluctantly, she took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Ye Zhizhou.
Ye Zhizhou, who was explaining some game strategies to Li Hao, felt the cellphone vibrate. He took a look and saw that Zhang Xinrain had sent a message. He did not want to delete it immediately, so he merely turned it off and returned it to his pocket.
Zhang Xinran had been observing him, and seeing his actions, she felt shocked. She dialed the phone, before realising that it was turned off. Her face immediately sank. A few months ago, he still chased after her to the brink of death, and now he just simply ignores her! What are you proud of? Sooner or later, you will kneel down and beg me!
Throwing the cellphone in her bag, she adjusted her expression and rejoined the conversation between several actors. She looked like she was immersed in the talk while looking around, her gaze falling onto Li Hao who was talking about something. As she was doing so, a thought popped up in her mind.
How dare you ignore me, it's you who'll suffer in the end, you are doomed to run away.
It was just setting up the stage and rehearsing in the afternoon, so the official recording was to be done in the evening.
After the rehearsal went smoothly, everyone went back to their hotel to rest. Ye Zhizhou took this opportunity when Zhang Xinran wasn't paying attention to invade her body with his spiritual force.
At 7pm, the recording began, and everyone performed smoothly – showing harmony and peace. The official recording was even better than the rehearsal in the afternoon, and Ye Zhizhou almost doubted that the protagonist actually had bad intentions in her heart.
Unfortunately, it just an 'almost'. After the recording ended, everyone went to the cafeteria on the fourth floor. Ye Zhizhao looked at the drink in Li Hao's hand, and raised an eyebrow. "Where are you from? I don't like to drink apple juice, didn't you know?" The original Yao Cheng actually liked this drink, but he disliked this too effeminate preference, so he never talked about it.
"Ah, you don't like it. I heard a few people say that you like this, and seeing that there was one on the table, I just brought it over." Li Hao scratched his head, pushing the juice to one side and foolishly saying, "Forget it, what would you like to drink, I'll get it for you."
"No." Ye Zizhou smiled and lifted the apple juice, getting up from his seat. "I'll get it myself. You eat first." After patting Li Hao's shoulder, he mobilised the spiritual power he left on the protagonist's body and confirmed her position before slowly walking towards her location.
At around 10.30pm, everyone returned to their respective rooms, and Ye Zhizhou lingered back for a little while. After a certain amount of calculated time, he went downstairs and mobilised his spirit to the correct position again. He walked past and wiped his trace from the CCTV along the way – easily opening the door of the 6th floor corner room, and stepping in.
"Wasn't it your idea to introduce Yao Cheng to me? How come you came up alone? Also, this devilish look!" Liu Fei Fei's looked at Zhang Xinran, who was impatiently cleaning up her things. "Really, I wasted my time, you know it's not easy for me to get a day off. I'm sick of it. You're useless. And I'm still looking for a chance to meet him."
Zhang Xinran, who had already pulled down her collar, pulled it again – feeling that the room was hot and annoying. "Liu Jie, I didn't do it on purpose. His mobile phone was turned off and there were always people around. I couldn't find a chance to bring him here."
"Didn't you take the medicine? You didn't give it to him?!"
"It was in the water, but he didn't drink at all!"
"It's useless to say you're useless! Such a waste, not even having the ability to deliver a glass of water."
Zhang Xinran only felt more and more heated, more and more irritable, and couldn't help but shout loudly. "I said that he's always surrounded by others, I cannot find the right opportunity! I'll make sure it happens next time."
Enraged by her attitude, Liu Fei Fei slammed down the baggage that was being tidied up in anger, "You still have a reason to talk back? You said that he was a good hook. As a result, people didn't care about you. Also, you said that he likes you, so he'll listen to you, all you do is be deceitful. Yao Cheng is so handsome; how could he like you? Don't overestimate yourself!"
Liu Fei Fei was childish and mean, selfish yet naïve, but also very greedy and lustful. If not for her emperor-like father who was a shareholder, she wouldn't have had such a smooth path to the position of the leading actress, and the Huang Tu agency's top actress. In the original story, protagonist succeeded in plotting against Yao Cheng, but failed to shake Liu Feifei's status – it only made her own reputation became dirtied. It was not until she embraced the twins' thighs that she completely destroyed Liu Fei Fei.
Now, Liu Fei Fei's venting words overlapped with the humiliation she had heard when she was betrayed in the last life. Zhang Xinran, who was very irritated, slammed the table and screamed, "Well then, what about you? Do you think Yao Cheng like you? He is just with you for the resources in your hands! As a third wheel you still have a reason to talk? I'll tell you, I will never let you feel happy in this life. Huang Tu's top actress? Bah! A scumbag and a slut. Sooner or later, I'll make both of you become a lowlife on the streets!"
Liu Fei Fei was so stunned at hearing her scolding – instantly rushing forwards to pull on Zhang Xinran's hair as soon as she came back to her senses. "You this slut, how dare you scold me! I'll kill you!"
"You're the slut!"
They both cursed and wrestled on the floor, not realising that Ye Zhizhou was in the corner. Probably due to the effect, Zhang Xinran's hitting movements slowly changed into a...... different direction. She actually hugged Liu Fei Fei and kiss her. Liu Fei Fei's face turned green, and she hit Zhang Xinran several times with the back of her hand. When she tried to get up, she was hugged once more, and she screamed.
The current scene was very unattractive. Ye Zhizhou reluctantly recorded it for a while, then turned off the camera on his phone. Then, he gently opened the door and went out – wanting to continue the plot? Dream on!
The video was cut and edited to enhance the audio, then uploaded to the internet. Half an hour later, the link was quickly sent to Ouyang Zhi, and after thinking for a while, he also sent one to Ouyang Chun.
The love probability would reduce – Liu Fei Fei, this crazy woman, could just be left for the golden thigh to clean up. Bothersome things were for others to take care of – a good night sleep was for oneself, perfect.
Just after the end of the ad's shooting, Ouyang Zhi received his phone from his assistant, and seeing that the aunt sent a video address, he directly pressed 'play', thinking it to be just a game strategy video. The next second, a woman's quarrelling scream could be heard spreading throughout the film site.
He hurriedly paused the video – coughing and smiling an apology to the staff members around. He politely said goodbye to everyone, then tried to maintain his appearance before going into the manager car. He quickly closed the door and locked it, adjusting the volume before playing the video again.
The video was a bit dark, and one could only vaguely see that two women were arguing. After hearing the contents of the quarrel, he was surprised. Zhang Xinran and Liu Fei Fei? And they were both fighting for his aunt? This Liu Fei Fei had a crush on aunt? How bold!
The two women fought fiercely, then Zhang Xinran tore up her blouse and hugged Liu Fei Fei. Kissing her in a random manner – kissing the neck, and thighs still on either side of Fei Fei's body......
He turned off the video with a blush, feeling a little embarrassed as he rubbed his eyes.
I didn't think...... the girl that aunt once liked is such a despicable person – I thought that she was just a young and not too simple-minded girl......
[Ouyang Zhi and the Protagonist's love probability has dropped to 70%, please make persistent effort, Host.]
To 70%?
The sleepiness Ye Zhizhou had brewed was promptly dispersed. After thinking about it for a while, he sent a message to Ouyang Zhi. "Big nephew, this video was taken by someone when Zhang Xinran want to secretly drug me. You have to be careful, if this girl suddenly takes a fancy of you, and then secretly puts something...... she might do something when you're not sober, and end up conceiving your child. Then, with the child, she will threaten you to marry her. If you don't agree, she will abuse your child – if you agree, she'll linger on you, sticking to you every day...... Aren't you afraid?"
After reading the message, Ouyang Zhi got goosebumps, then quickly replied, "Afraid! I don't want my child to have such a mother!"
[Ouyang Zhi and the Protagonist's love probability has dropped to 50%, please make persistent effort, Host.]
Ah, the effect of his one little comment was very good. He thought for a moment before adding, "And your uncle hates this girl very much."
[Ouyang Zhi and the Protagonist's love probability has dropped to 40%, please make persistent effort, Host.]
