Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 706: How Did a Good Person Turn Out Like This?

Chapter 706: Chapter 706: How Did a Good Person Turn Out Like This?

Inside the building, President Sun and his group watched Zhao Lang leave.

The assistant beside him couldn’t help but gossip.

"President Sun," the assistant said, "the relationship between Young Master Gu and Miss Jiang seems unusual. Should we spread some rumors online and make some media money?"

President Sun narrowed his eyes and smacked him on the head.

"Have you gone mad or have I? Dare to gossip about the Gu Family online and not afraid that Old Sir Gu will skin you alive?"

The assistant quickly bowed his head.

"Is Old Sir Gu an ordinary person? Is the Gu Family an ordinary family? Young Master Gu is probably just attracted by Jiang Li’s beauty and youth and wants to flirt a bit. When the Gu Family wants to find a wife, wouldn’t they start with a high-status family? The Jiang Family is nameless and of no renown, on what basis? Today we just went with the flow and helped Young Master Gu save face in front of Jiang Li. In the future, he will remember our kindness and give us a hand, understand?"

The assistant nodded hurriedly, "I understand, President Sun. I’ll be careful in the future!"

Upstairs, Su Yinwan also watched helplessly as the business van drove away.

Standing in front of the French window, she clenched her fists uncontrollably.

She had dressed up specially today to talk about cooperation with Gu Yu.

Who would have thought she wouldn’t even see his face before he was taken away by Jiang Li.

The system issued a warning in her Divine Sense again.

"Host, please complete the main storyline task as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the task fails, you will be forcibly transported back to the Time-Space Administration."

Su Yinwan felt increasingly agitated.

"I know, I know, I’ll do it as soon as possible."

The storyline with Jiang Li was currently at a standstill.

Jiang Yan’s affinity for her had also dropped to zero, and she didn’t even know what he was doing lately, let alone how to improve his feelings for her.

As for the villain Jiang Cheng, things were even worse.

Not only had he not turned evil, but his righteousness was increasing.

According to the original trajectory, the Jiang Family should be on the brink of collapse by now.

But she had just seen the financial news and discovered that their family business had recently entered the top 500.

She really needed to do something, or if this development continued, their fortune would surpass that of the protagonist.

After dealing with some work briefly, Su Yinwan went home.

Shang Shaojing’s shoes were still by the door.

Su Yinwan furrowed her brows, pushed open the door, and walked in.

The living room was smokey, filled with the pungent smell of cigarettes.

And Shang Shaojing was sitting on the sofa, a lit cigarette tip still burning between his fingers.

"Lawyer Dai, is there really no way to get my father out?"

"It’s tough, Mr. Shang," came the reply. "Unless you can come up with 160 million yuan right now to cover that amount, it’s impossible for your father to be released. You might even face a lawsuit yourself."

Shang Shaojing hung up the phone with a gloomy expression and then tried to call other contacts in his phonebook.

But almost no one answered.

Su Yinwan stood at the doorway, listening with a cold face, her heart growing colder bit by bit.

Was Shang Shaojing’s situation already so difficult?

Isn’t he the male lead?

Thinking this, she suppressed her disgust and entered the living room with a smiling face.

"Brother Shaojing, I’m back... What’s wrong, why are you smoking so much?"

Shang Shaojing hurriedly snuffed out the cigarette butt at his fingertips and stood up.

"You’re back? Have you eaten? I’ll go and cook."

As he spoke, he turned and headed for the kitchen.

Looking at his slightly worn and even hunched back, Su Yinwan’s face was filled with uncontrollable disdain.

How had a perfectly fine person ended up like this?

He couldn’t even compare to one of Gu Yu’s fingers now.

Su Yinwan couldn’t stand staying in this kitchen-scented home any longer, so she changed clothes and walked out again.

"Brother Shaojing, I’ve scheduled a meeting with a client to discuss a collaboration, so I won’t be eating at home."

Shang Shaojing in the kitchen paused for a moment before replying with a spatula in hand, "But you haven’t eaten with me for three days already."

Su Yinwan put on an apologetic expression, "Brother Shaojing, you know I’ve been very busy with lots of appointments recently, I really can’t help it because of work."

As she spoke, she placed a card on the table, "There’s still fifty thousand yuan on this card, you can use it first."

Shang Shaojing quickly walked out with a furrowed brow and returned the card to her.

"I can’t use your money."

"Why not?" Su Yinwan feigned dissatisfaction, "When my career was at a low point, you helped me a lot. I just want to offer a little help, and though I’m not rich now, I can still manage daily expenses."

"Put the money away, listen to me."

"Brother Shaojing."

Shang Shaojing sighed, "Yinwan, listen, keep the money for yourself. Besides, even if you gave me the money, it’s just a drop in the bucket. It’s better to keep it for yourself."

"Well, alright...." Su Yinwan withdrew the card and stepped forward to hug Shang Shaojing, "If you run into any trouble, you must tell me."

"Okay."

As Su Yinwan said goodbye to Shang Shaojing and stepped into the elevator, the smile on her face instantly disappeared.

If it weren’t for the fact that Shang Shaojing was still somewhat useful, she wouldn’t bother putting on a fake smile!

Providing him with food and shelter was one thing.

But he even wanted her money?

No way!

Exiting the lobby, Su Yinwan casually found a dessert shop to sit down in, and then she took out her phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, how’s the preparation for the task I gave you going?"

A man’s voice came from the receiver, "Miss, I’m really good at this sort of thing, alright? Just posting and generating traffic, right? My six hundred thousand followers on Weibo aren’t fake."

"Are you sure this will trend?"

"For sure, wasn’t that guy popular for a while recently? It will definitely work."

Su Yinwan tapped her fingers lightly on the table, "Alright then, I’ll thank you properly once it’s done."

The man laughed, "Then when will Miss be providing the rest of the money? If the funds aren’t in place, I can’t keep up with the traffic."

Su Yinwan furrowed her brows, "Didn’t I just give you two hundred thousand?"

"Two hundred thousand is nothing! Don’t think I don’t know how rich you celebrities are, two million is nothing to you. Send me the remaining eight hundred thousand now, and I’ll get the post ready for you." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Su Yinwan’s face looked terrible.

Things were different now, she hadn’t received much work recently, and the money she had saved was almost gone. She also had to support Shang Shaojing - where would she get the money?

She had already exceeded her point exchange limit, and the system wasn’t helping her anymore. She just knew she had to complete this plot to earn some points!

Now she was broke!

On the phone, the man was still urging her, as if worried she might abscond.

Su Yinwan said impatiently, "I’ll give you the money in a few days, I’m a bit tight right now. Get the article ready for me to review first, there’s no rush to post it."

"Alright, then I’ll wait for Miss."
