Quick Transmigration: Even Extras Want to Be Leading Actresses

Chapter 256 Theme Competition: The President's Sunny Day (6)

Ignoring the man's shouts and yells outside, Gu Shijiu rummaged around inside the house and actually found a diary.

She locked the door, dragged a two-meter-long bed to the doorway to block it, and began to read her diary carefully.

Once Gu Shijiu was focused on her work, she paid no attention to anything else. The man kept banging and kicking the door, but it didn't respond for a long time.

Ah Zhi could only silently blame the door for being too good in her heart, but she tried to persuade the man, "Uncle, forget it, Auntie is probably still angry with me. I'll go sleep in the guest room."

In the past, if she said something like that, it would only add fuel to the fire and make the man angrier, but today, the situation is a little different.

Because Gu Shijiu had just thrown him out, the man felt a persistent pain in his tailbone.

It was alright before, but now it's getting worse and worse, and he really doesn't have the energy to keep messing around.

Hearing what Azhi said, he took the opportunity to back down: "Azhi is so sensible. It's getting late, and you have to go to school. Get some rest, and I'll deal with her tomorrow."

After saying that, the man, supporting his aching tailbone, limped back to his room.

Ah Zhi was heartbroken that her uncle, who had always fought for her, had let that wicked woman go so quickly today.

The guest room was terrible. Even though the maid changed the bedding, I still couldn't sleep comfortably.

The blanket wasn't soft enough, the pillow was a bit too high, and the room seemed colder than usual. Azhi bit the corner of the blanket and cried for half the night before finally falling asleep.

The villa fell silent, except for Gu Shijiu, who was still working late into the night.

Fortunately, the results were quite good, and she roughly understood the current situation.

The cover of the diary reads An Zhi, which should be A Zhi's full name.

The man's name is Gong Ye. He runs a large chain of shopping malls and has business dealings with An Zhi's father.

Anzhi's family runs a clothing brand and was originally doing quite well, but as the brand's reputation grew, it attracted the attention of others who wanted to acquire it.

Anzhi's father was naturally unwilling. This brand was founded and developed by him and his wife, and it was like another child that he was reluctant to hand over to someone else.

As a result, Anjia fell into someone else's trap, the company was wiped out, the capital chain broke, it couldn't even pay its employees' salaries, and it also owed a lot of money to its upstream partners.

An's father was under too much pressure and committed suicide by jumping off a building. An's mother also suddenly disappeared, leaving An Zhi, who was only a teenager, to face the creditors and relatives who were like tigers and wolves.

Just then, Gong Ye suddenly appeared and rescued An Zhi like a god.

He claimed that An's father entrusted his daughter to him before his death, and even produced the necessary paperwork. He also drove away the wolves and tigers surrounding An Zhi and took her home.

Gong Ye became the guardian, and naturally, he also managed the clothing brand that An Zhi inherited.

Seeing this, Gu Shijiu couldn't quite understand why the company was unwilling to be managed by relatives, but was willing to be managed by strangers. What was the reason for this? Was it because Gong Ye was good-looking?

In short, the two began living under the same roof.

An Zhi's family suddenly faced a major change, and she became very dependent on this gentle uncle who had helped her a lot.

Because she was afraid of being abandoned, she always awkwardly tried to please Gong Ye, and even developed feelings for him that were hard to explain.

Gu Shijiu couldn't see these things; she just felt that many of the things An Zhi wrote in her diary were things that only someone with a relationship like hers and Shi Qi could do.

For example, cooking for his uncle, having his uncle sleep with him when it thunders, and giving his uncle a massage when his uncle is tired from work...

Gu Shijiu's face scrunched up in disbelief. What was all this?

An Zhi originally thought her life was pretty good, but her uncle was getting married, and the bride was none other than Fu Yunxiang, the character Gu Shijiu was playing.

The Fu family doesn't do business, but many members are involved in politics. Fu Yunxiang's father currently works in the housing and construction department, in charge of urban planning.

The marriage between the two families was something that had been agreed upon long ago. Unexpectedly, Gong Ye suddenly had a daughter, which Fu Yunxiang couldn't accept, especially since she felt that An Zhi was hostile towards her.

As a result, Fu Yunxiang and Gong Ye often quarreled. Gong Ye became increasingly impatient with Fu Yunxiang, feeling that she was being unreasonable and arguing like a child.

The diary entries were rambling and disjointed. Gu Shijiu got sleepy as she read them, then collapsed onto the large two-meter bed and fell fast asleep...

With a bang, a vase fell off the table and shattered.

Shi Qi looked at the broken pieces on the ground with a headache, not understanding why a newly appointed cleaning staff member was allowed to clean the president's office.

Qin Ruo looked at Xia Qingtian with a gloomy face, seemingly unable to understand why such a domineering CEO would like a girl like this.

"Do you know how much this vase costs?" Qin Ruo raised her eyebrows, still lounging lazily on the sofa, but showing considerable aggression.

Xia Qingtian continued to apologize: "I really didn't mean it. Could you deduct it from my salary?"

Shi Qi asked the logistics department manager and learned that the vase was worth one million: "Deduct five thousand from your salary every month, and it will be enough for twenty years."

"How could this be?" Xia Qingtian was about to cry. Her monthly salary was only six thousand.

"Why not?" Shi Qi retorted. "Didn't you want to compensate me?"

"I didn't know it was so expensive—" Xia Qingtian's voice lowered.

"So you're only planning to compensate with cheap vases, and not care about expensive ones, right?" Qin Ruo chimed in, stirring things up.

Looking at Shi Qi in his suit and Qin Ruo in her elegant outfit, Xia Qingtian felt nervous, awkward, and ashamed. She felt looked down upon.

"I don't know how I messed up, ah—"

As Xia Qingtian crouched down to try and pick up the broken pieces, she cut her hand, and large beads of blood oozed out and flowed onto the ground.

Shi Qi: ...What's going on with this plot? Why does he have to feel sorry for Xia Qingtian?

Fortunately, he had someone to talk to. Qin Ruo slumped on the sofa and said sarcastically, "Oh, not only are you clumsy and can't even do basic cleaning, but you also keep hurting yourself. Is this how you seduce men?"

Shi Qi listened to these old-fashioned, melodramatic lines with a calm and unperturbed mind, treating it as just watching a play.

He didn't try to stop it; the plot was going to push him along anyway.

Xia Qingtian felt guilty and couldn't stand up straight in front of the president's official fiancée. She was humiliated but dared not argue back, explaining in a whisper as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "I really just want to focus on my work."

"Hehe." Qin Ruo gave her a disdainful look, walked out with her head held high in her high heels, and even gave Shi Qi a flirtatious wink as she left.

Shi Qi: There's absolutely no need for that.

The office finally quieted down, and Xia Qingtian timidly stole glances at Shi Qi.

"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Shi Qi asked the actors without hesitation after watching the play.

Xia Qingtian's eyes lit up with anticipation: "Then this vase..."

"The logistics department will contact you regarding compensation." Shi Qi pressed the intercom and called over the logistics manager.

Xia Qingtian wanted to say something, but the manager dragged her out of the office.
