Chapter 47 Chronicles of Hong Kong in the Past 5
The next day, Liu Yuxi arrived at the company. While Wang Sihai was reporting on the company's situation over the past year, Du Lisha also arrived. She led Du Lisha on a tour of the company's various departments, introduced her to the artists currently working at the company, and then introduced Du Lisha to the company's staff as a psychological counselor. After that, she left Du Lisha to chat with the artists and then took Wang Sihai back to the office.
After listening to Wang Sihai's report on the company, everything else was progressing normally. However, two supporting roles in the film crews were snatched up by a rising star in the entertainment industry. As for how such a minor issue as snatching supporting roles could have reached Wang Sihai's ears, and why Wang Sihai specifically reported it to Liu Yuxi, it was because it was her second brother who asked that upstart star for the roles. Liu Yuxi directly asked if it was Lin Wan'er, and after receiving an affirmative answer, she felt that she had to take the initiative, otherwise this Lin Wan'er would continue to cause trouble in the industry for who knows how many more years.
After letting Wang Sihai go back to his work, Liu Yuxi, for the first time in the transmigrated world, called out to Xiao Liu: "Xiao Liu, do you think Lin Wan'er is a transmigrator? Is she a strategy-oriented type, a luck-plundering type, or just a Mary Sue type?" "Host, please wait!" Hmm? Liu Yuxi just wanted to discuss with Xiao Liu in her mind what "please wait" meant. Did Xiao Liu have other functions? "Host, based on the information collected by Xiao Liu, it has been discovered that Lin Wan'er is indeed a luck-plundering transmigrator. She has a female protagonist halo given to her by the luck system. If she is allowed to continue developing, all the outstanding men in this world will perish because of her departure. At that time, the development of the world will be hindered, and the small world will be on the verge of collapse."
"There's no internet here, so where did you gather this information from?" "The Heavenly Dao! To ensure that the host can live a life of ease and comfort in every world, the main system granted Little Six a lot of permissions when it invented Little Six, but it's generally not used." "So what does the Heavenly Dao mean now? Does it want us to deal with that Lin Wan'er?" "Yes, because the host has profound fortune and merit, it hopes that the host can expel this fortune-stealing entity that is threatening the development of the small world."
"But Lin Wan'er has a system, how can I get rid of her?" "Host, you have me! Didn't I say the main system gave me a lot of permissions? As long as you get close to Lin Wan'er, I can detect the system on her. Without the system, Lin Wan'er, an ordinary transmigrator, is nothing to fear!" "Little 6, how are you so amazing!" Liu Yuxi was genuinely surprised this time. She never expected that someone who mainly just wanted to live a carefree life would have such a powerful system! "It's nothing!" Little 6 actually blushed!
Without delay, Liu Yuxi immediately summoned Wang Sihai and asked him which film crew Lin Wan'er was currently filming in, and whether any of her company's artists were in the same crew. Coincidentally, one of their company's artists was in the same film crew as Lin Wan'er. She waved her hand and said, "Come on, I'll take you to visit the set!" Wang Sihai was helpless. What was a boss doing visiting the set of an unknown artist? But what could a subordinate say when the boss had spoken? He could only do as he was told!
Liu Yuxi arrived at the film set with Wang Sihai. As soon as they entered, they saw Lin Wan'er smiling sweetly beside the director. Liu Yuxi's lips twitched. Although the director was quite famous, he was over 40, balding, and had all the typical ailments—a female lead who wasn't picky about food! Liu Yuxi had Uncle Liu and Wang Sihai distribute sweet soup to the crew members, while she walked towards the company's junior artist. The junior artist was going crazy! The big boss was actually visiting her on set! This had never happened since the company was founded! It was the only one in the entire company! As long as she stayed at Huanyu, this was her unique honor. She excitedly bowed to Liu Yuxi: "Hello, President Liu!" Liu Yuxi almost lost her composure; she was completely flustered! "Don't get excited, don't get excited. Are you settling in well?" While chatting with the junior artist, she told Xiao Liu to quickly remove the luck system.
Within seconds, "Host, I've already devoured that system and returned all the stolen luck. The effects of the items the female lead bought from the luck system will gradually disappear later." "So fast? And no special effects?" There was absolutely no sense of ceremony. Liu Yuxi even glanced at Lin Wan'er, but Lin Wan'er seemed completely oblivious. This really was painless!
Now that the most important thing was resolved, Liu Yuxi asked the director if her young actress had any scenes to film that day. The middle-aged man understood social etiquette and immediately said that the young actress didn't have any scenes to film that day. Then she took Uncle Liu, Wang Sihai, and the young actress out for afternoon tea and encouraged the young actress. From then on, the young actress worked very hard and stayed at Liu Yuxi's company until retirement, proving to be truly loyal.
After returning home, she didn't tell Lao Bao that she had dealt with the female lead; she wanted them to find out gradually.
When her second brother returned to the old house for the Spring Festival, Liu Yuxi noticed that she had returned to her former reserved self and was no longer prone to her occasional fits of madness. She guessed that the others in the family were probably back to normal as well. After dinner, Old Bao called his eldest and second brothers, along with Liu Yuxi, into his study. He questioned his second brother in detail about his later changes. He only learned that Lin Wan'er had suddenly stopped attracting him, and he himself felt that what happened during that period didn't seem like his actions at all; he couldn't understand it himself. Old Bao then reminded his eldest brother to be careful when traveling and let them leave. Once only Liu Yuxi and Old Bao remained in the study, Old Bao looked at Liu Yuxi, seemingly unsure how to begin.
Liu Yuxi didn't want to waste time with the old man; she wanted to go set off fireworks with her nephews and nieces. "What's wrong?" "Um... your Uncle Li, it's just... um..." "His son really isn't his biological son!" "Yeah! And..." "Is that child his younger brother's?" "How do you know?" Could Liu Yuxi admit she guessed based on her experience reading novels? "Because his son does look a bit like him, and you're so conflicted. It's just a matter between men and women, isn't it? What's there to be so conflicted about? What's Uncle Li going to do now? Have his son and the others found out?"
"I don't know. Only I know this news right now. Your Uncle Li said he went to England to discuss a business deal. Now he's there recuperating to become a surrogate mother and prepare to have his own child." "That's normal. Putting aside whether it's a biological child or not, the thought of being cuckolded is disgusting enough. People can't accept being betrayed by their own family!"
After this conversation, there was nothing left in this world that could affect the operation of the small world. Liu Yuxi officially took on the role of president and focused on working hard in the entertainment industry, since her brother would be returning to Hong Kong in a little over a year.
