Chapter 77: Have you…been taken advantage of by him?
Just as they were about to proceed to the next step, the phone on the desk suddenly rang, and the harsh ringtone broke the ambiguous atmosphere.
Lin Yuan and Yang Mi stopped and looked at each other. A trace of disappointment flashed in Yang Mi’s eyes, and she sighed: “Is it not suitable today?”
Lin Yuan was also a little helpless, rubbing his temples: “Maybe there is too much work.” As he said, he let go of Yang Mi and prepared to answer the phone.
Yang Mi felt something strange in Lin Yuan’s body, looked down, and raised a sly smile: “Are you going to stop like this?”
Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked: “What else can I do?”
Yang Mi licked her lips: “Of course you work on top and I work on the bottom!”
Hearing this, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but tease: “I think you are the pervert!”
Hearing this description, Yang Mi raised her eyebrows and pretended to be angry: “If you say that again, I won’t help you solve it!”
Lin Yuan smiled and pulled Yang Mi back into his arms, whispering: “Okay, okay, I am a pervert.”
Yang Mi raised her head proudly: “You know what’s good for you.” After that, she got under the desk.
Lin Yuan reached out to pick up the phone, took a deep breath to calm down, and tried to make his voice sound normal: “Hello, this is Lin Yuan.”
The excited voice of the “Legend of Sword and Fairy 1” production staff came from the other end of the phone: “Mr. Lin, good news! The game is basically completed and can be tested. We would like to invite you to experience it yourself.”
Lin Yuan’s eyes lit up when he heard this, and his voice unconsciously carried a bit of excitement: “Really? It’s already playable?”
“Yes, Mr. Lin.” The production staff answered affirmatively, with a tone full of pride, “Our team worked day and night and finally reached the expected progress.”
“That’s great, I’ll pass it now…” Lin Yuan’s words hadn’t finished yet. Yang Mi actually bit him lightly!
“Hiss——” Lin Yuan took a breath of cold air.
The production staff on the other end of the phone immediately noticed something was wrong and asked with concern: “Boss Lin, what’s wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?”
Lin Yuan suppressed the turmoil in his heart and replied calmly: “Nothing, just a leg cramp.” He lowered his head and glared at Yang Mi, but saw that she was looking at him innocently.
07Lin Yuan took a deep breath and continued to talk on the phone: “How about this, I have a computer in my office, you can bring the game over and install it. We will test it here.”
When the production staff heard this arrangement, they could not hide their disappointment in their tone: “Okay, Boss Lin. I’ll go over right away.” He wanted to personally guide Lin Yuan to experience the game, but now it seems that there is no chance.
After Lin Yuan hung up the phone, he reached out and tapped Yang Mi’s head gently, with a bit of helplessness in his voice: “What did you do just now? Don’t you know that place is very fragile?”
Yang Mi raised her head and spoke incoherently: “I have worked so hard, and you actually want to leave. This is a punishment for you not recognizing my charm.”
Lin YuanHearing this, he gently stroked Yang Mi’s smooth hair, with a hint of apology in his eyes: “I was just too excited to hear that the game was successfully made.
In my eyes, you are very charming. Otherwise, how could I be so passionate when I was with you?”
After hearing this, Yang Mi rolled her eyes at Lin Yuan charmingly, without saying anything, but became more gentle as she continued to “work”. .
A knock on the door sounded suddenly. Lin Yuan lowered his head and whispered to Yang Mi’s ear: “Someone is coming, don’t make a sound.”
Yang Mi replied vaguely: “It’s you who should keep quiet…”
Lin Yuan helplessly reached out and poked Yang Mi’s head. This girl is really bold. But Yang Mi continued to “work” hard as if she didn’t feel it.
“Come in.” Lin Yuan said to the outside of the door.
The door was pushed open, and the producer of “Legend of Sword and Fairy 1” walked in. Seeing Lin Yuan sitting on the office chair, he said a little stiffly: “Mr. Lin, I will help you install the game now.”
“Well, you do it.” Lin Yuan nodded, indicating that the producer was free to do it.
The producer walked to the computer desk and started to install the game. Lin Yuan clearly felt that Yang Mi was not serious about her work and her attention was much less. She was obviously worried about being discovered slacking off.
If someone found her slacking off while working, her career might be over.
Lin Yuan decided to help Yang Mi.
Yang Mi was caught off guard. When Lin Yuan did this, a layer of mist instantly appeared in her eyes.
In the office, the sound of keyboard tapping, mouse clicking, and the game music in the computer formed a strange melody…
The producer who installed the game did not seem to notice anything unusual and was concentrating on installing the game.
From time to time, he looked up at Lin Yuan, wanting to ask if there was anything else he needed, but seeing that Lin Yuan was closing his eyes, as if thinking about something, he lowered his head silently again.
After a long wait for the installation.
The installation progress bar finally came to the end. The producer breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lin Yuan nervously: “Mr. Lin, the game is installed, you can try it.”
Lin Yuan opened his eyes, and the familiar screen on the screen made his mouth slightly raised. He clicked the mouse a few times casually, controlled the character to walk a few steps, and nodded with satisfaction: “Well, good job.” He paused and added: “If this game makes me feel good, I will give your team a bonus.”
The producer’s eyes lit up when he heard this, and his surprise was beyond words: “Thank you, Mr. Lin! I will thank you for your generosity on behalf of the team!” After that, he bowed respectfully, turned around and left the office happily.
With a “click”, the sound of the door closing was particularly clear at this moment. Almost at the same time, Yang Mi stopped and started coughing violently, as if she was going to cough out her lungs. She covered her mouth with her hands, tears welling up in her eyes.
Lin Yuan looked at her and took out a wet towel and handed it to her.
Yang Mi grabbed it andShe wiped the corners of her mouth in a mess, staring at Lin Yuan with resentment: “Do you want to embarrass me? Your action just now was too rough!
” Lin Yuan did not speak, but just stretched out his hand to embrace her.
“You…
stop making trouble…
” Yang Mi’s voice was as thin as a mosquito, but with a barely perceptible tremor.
She wanted to push Lin Yuan away, but she was powerless to resist the masculine smell emanating from him.
Lin Yuan lowered his head and whispered in her ear: “You worked hard just now, as a reward…
”
“What is the reward?” Yang Mi’s voice trembled even more, and she felt that her heartbeat was about to go out of control. Lin Yuan did not answer, but replaced words with actions. At the same time, Zhang Jingying took the newly signed contract and walked briskly back to the rental house she and Feng Ke shared.
“Look, dear!” Zhang Jingying raised the contract in her hand and handed it to Feng Ke like offering a treasure, with a gleam of joy in her eyes, “I signed a contract with Lin Entertainment! I can make a lot of money in the future!”
Feng Ke was originally lying lazily on the sofa, but he immediately sat up and snatched the contract. His rough fingertips stroked the paper of the contract, and his eyes gradually became sharp from carelessness. The terms in the contract were incredibly generous, far exceeding the treatment a new singer deserved.
“How did you sign this contract?” Feng Ke’s voice was low, with a hint of subtle suspicion. He raised his head and stared at Zhang Jingying with burning eyes.
Zhang Jingying did not notice the change in Feng Ke’s tone. She was immersed in joy and explained in a light tone: “It was Mr. Lin who appreciated me! He said that my voice is very unique and has great potential.”
“Mr. Lin?” Feng Ke’s voice became deeper, “Are you… being taken advantage of by him?!”
“No! Of course not!” Zhang Jingying hurriedly shook her head to deny, and said in a hurried tone, “Mr. Lin is not that kind of person! He is very gentle and talented…”
She did not notice that Feng Ke’s face became more and more gloomy as she spoke. She was immersed in her own world and continued: “When I was singing, there were several mistakes. Mr. Lin did not blame me. He also patiently taught me…”
“Enough!” Feng Ke slammed the contract on the table with a loud bang. He stood up suddenly, staring down at Zhang Jingying, his eyes burning with anger, “What do you mean by talking about another man’s advantages in front of me? Are you showing off?!”
He pointed at the contract on the table, and his voice was almost squeezed out from his teeth, “This contract is not something a newcomer can get! Do you think I don’t know the dirty things in the entertainment industry?!”
Zhang Jingying was stunned by Feng Ke’s sudden roar. She didn’t understand how this joy turned into an accusation. Feng Ke’s questioning was like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the burning excitement in her heart. She looked at Feng Ke blankly, not understanding why he was so angry.
“What are you… talking about?” Zhang Jingying’s voice was weak and trembling with a hint of disbelief. She subconsciously took a step back, trying to avoid Feng Ke’s burning’s eyes.
She was responded with a loud slap.
Zhang Jingying was hit so hard that her head turned to the side, and a burning pain instantly came from her cheek. She staggered back a few steps and fell on the sofa. Under the dim light, she covered her cheek, her eyes full of incredible grievance and confusion. She didn’t understand why Feng Ke would hit her and why he was so angry.
She hesitated for a moment, and expectations emerged in her heart.
This scene was too familiar. Every time Feng Ke got angry, he would always express his love in that almost barbaric way.
The tenderness mixed with possessiveness in the pain had long become her habitual way of getting along.
Zhang Jingying moved carefully, her trembling fingers gently touched his trouser legs, and her eyes were filled with pleading and flattering.
She gently rubbed his legs, and a slight whimper came from her throat.
“Feng Ke… I only want you…”
However, Feng Ke seemed to be a different person today.
He shook her hand off violently, and his rough fingers pinched her chin like steel pliers.
She could feel the trembling between his fingers, which was a sign of extreme anger.
“You bitch!”
Feng Ke’s voice was hoarse and cold, “To become a star, you can even sell yourself?”
The suffocating pain made Zhang Jingying’s eyes black, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
“No… Really not… I just sang for Mr. Lin…” She shook her head desperately, her voice fragmented.
The explanation seemed so pale at this moment. She looked at the anger burning in Feng Ke’s eyes and felt real fear for the first time.
It was not the possessive anger of the past, but pure, chilling hatred.
Feng Ke’s hand pinched her hair like an iron hoop and suddenly pulled her up from the ground. (To read the most exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Before Zhang Jingying could stabilize herself, she was thrown to the ground.
Her back hit the hard floor, and the severe pain made her scream.
“Ah!”
Before she could finish her scream, Feng Ke’s leather shoes kicked her waist fiercely.
One after another. Each kick was chilling, as if to kick away the last bit of warmth in her body.
“Feng Ke…please…listen to my explanation…”
She curled up and begged in a weak voice.
“Explain?” Feng Ke sneered, looking down at the 107 woman on the ground, his eyes full of contempt.
“This time I will trust that you didn’t sell yourself. But remember, next time I find you doing this kind of thing.
” His voice suddenly lowered, with a suffocating threat.
“It’s not as simple as hitting you twice.”
After saying that, he turned around and strode away, not even willing to look at her again.
The sound of the door being slammed echoed in the empty room, like a heavy hammer hitting Zhang Jingying’s heart.
She curled up on the ground, the pain in her body was piercing, but compared with the pain in her body, the despair and grievance in her heart made her suffocate.
Under the dim light, she was like a rag doll abandoned by her owner, lying lonely and desolate on the cold floor, even the sound of her crying seemed so weak and helpless.
The door slammed behind her, and Feng Ke’s back disappeared in the dim light, leaving only a gradually elongated shadow, which was finally swallowed by the darkness.
The silence in the room was suffocating. Zhang Jingying curled up on the ground, and a tiny whimper overflowed from her throat, like an abandoned little beast, reaching out in vain to the disappearing shadow, but only grasping a piece of nothingness.
“Why…”
Her voice was so hoarse that it was almost inaudible, her throat seemed to be blocked by cotton, and every breath was accompanied by a tearing pain.
The cold floor penetrated into her bones through her thin clothes, but she didn’t care about the cold, just repeated in her heart: []
“Did I do anything wrong? I just… just wanted to share my happiness with you…”
Tears blurred her vision, and the contracts scattered on the ground glowed with dazzling white light under the light.
That contract, carrying her dream, became the fuse of the disaster tonight.
Zhang Jingying bit her lips, endured the pain in her body, and picked up the scattered papers bit by bit, as if these papers were her only remaining dignity.
“I can’t give up…”
She whispered softly,
“As long as I work hard, as long as I can help him… he will definitely understand and treat me well again…”
This thought was like a firefly in the dark night, flickering weakly but tenaciously.
She tightly grasped the contract, as if she had grasped the last hope.
Zhang Jingying slowly stood up and wiped the tears from her face.
The woman in the mirror was haggard and determined, her eyes full of persistence.
“I want you to see, Feng Ke, I want you to know that you are the only one in my heart.”
She whispered to the mirror, with an almost morbid tenderness in her voice.
“I will prove it to you, with all I have, to prove that I am worthy of your love…”
