Chapter 109: Becoming a Cannon Fodder
The night is about to dawn, but the city that never sleeps, City A, is still wrapped in brilliant neon lights. It is as prosperous as ever and even more noisy.
Lin Qingyan, the business tycoon and heir to one of the richest families in City A, stood alone at the window of her apartment, looking thoughtfully at the lights and nightlife outside with a cold expression, as if all this had nothing to do with her.
"Speaking of which, why did we come here if there are male and female protagonists in this world? And how come I didn't see my man the whole time?" She asked directly because there was no one else in the room.
A cool yet slightly charming voice rang out in the room, but unfortunately no one appreciated it.
【Woof woof! Ahem, host.】
[In this world, if there is a male and female protagonist, there must be a male secondary and a female secondary, who are used to cause misunderstandings between the two parties. Unfortunately, you and the male protagonist who was saved are such characters.]
Lin Qingyan's indifferent eyes were tinged with murderous intent, and she said in a sinister tone: "Do you mean that I will fall in love with Long Aotian? Will he fall in love with Feng Qiuhuang?" She looked as if she despised the male and female protagonists.
[NoNoNo! Host, that's not the case.]
"Just stop talking about your own thing. Why are you bringing up foreign languages?" Lin Qingyan said impatiently.
[Okay, host. Actually, you and the male protagonist who was saved have been reduced in intelligence by the world consciousness. Sometimes you will do things that you don’t understand or say things that you don’t want to say.]
[Your character in this story is a business tyrant, and the male protagonist Chen Zheyu is also a rare talent, but his family conditions are not good, while your conditions are good, so you are the president, and he became the vice president of your company by virtue of his ability. ]
[Originally, the two of you would have joined forces to expand your company around the world. ]
[What was unexpected was that after graduation, the male and female protagonists came to your company for internship, and then you and Chen Zheyu became their tools to get ahead. They slapped you in the face all the way.]
[But in fact, you don’t like them emotionally, it’s just that sometimes the world consciousness controls you to say things that you don’t mean, so it turned out like that. ]
[Afterwards, your company was taken over by the male and female protagonists. They took over your ideas, creative abilities, and professional teams. You and Chen Zheyu discovered something unusual and began to connect the previous anomalies and try to make some changes. The world consciousness noticed your changes, and when the end of the world came, it directly created an accident and disposed of you and Chen Zheyu.]
[In fact, if it weren't for the interference of the world consciousness, with your and Chen Zheyu's later achievements, the country would have been saved from the dire situation at least half a year earlier.]
[The affection between you and Chen Zheyu during your time together was shattered by the intentional interference of the world consciousness.]
[Chen Zheyu later died in the mouth of zombies in order to save you who was framed by the male and female protagonists. According to his original fate, he could have become the zombie king, but the world consciousness made him unable to withstand the virus mutation, so you need to save the male protagonist of this world.]
(I have never cheated on him in this world, right?)
[No, host, you haven't even held his hand, hehe. ]
Lin Qingyan was convinced. Was it really so heartbreaking?
But the people in the hero and heroine's team? Bad people? They also used her company to rise to fame. Can anyone be the hero and heroine? The world consciousness also doesn't distinguish between good and evil. It seems necessary to talk to it.
(Do I have any cheat codes? 250.)
Lin Qingyan felt that since she was the second female lead and was so powerful, it was impossible for her to not have a golden finger, right?
[Host, you and the second male lead are just cannon fodder. To put it in a more advanced way, you are just high-level cannon fodder. There is no such thing as a golden finger. ]
The corner of Lin Qingyan's mouth twitched, and she inexplicably sensed disdain from the dog's mouth of 250, but she quickly adjusted her mentality. It's okay, she is the biggest golden finger.
(250, how long will it take for the end of the world to come?)
[Woof woof! 29 days, 23 hours, 47 minutes, and 53 seconds left.]
【52 seconds. 】
【51 seconds. 】
Lin Qingyan: "......"
(I asked you to tell me, not to count down, so shut up!)
250 A dog looks aggrieved [Okay, host, woof woof. ]
It felt that the host had become more and more irritable after coming to this world. What was going on? Its dog brain couldn't figure it out.
Now is the business era of Long Aotian and Feng Qiuhuang. Just now, she was controlled by the world consciousness and after Long Aotian confessed his love to her, she regained her sanity and quickly ran back to this small apartment.
Feng Qiuhuang was also present when she confessed her love. From that moment on, she became a love rival to Feng Qiuhuang.
And all of this was seen by a pair of eyes. In Chen Zheyu's view, Lin Qingyan's escape was the embarrassment after being rejected.
He thought she fell in love with Long Aotian, who came later than him, and that she admired this man who had some brains but was full of love and stupidity.
He looked at the person passing by him with a bit of loneliness. She didn't even look at him for a moment and just ran out the door.
He came here to hand in his resignation report. He lowered his eyes to hide the disappointment in his eyes. He clenched the report in his hand with his fingers and exhaled softly. His grandmother was still waiting for his salary to save her life. According to Long Aotian's exclusion of him, he was no longer useful here. It would be better for him to change companies and continue to make money.
I knocked on the office door and heard a confused male voice.
"Enter!"
When Chen Zheyu walked in, he saw two people with messy clothes and Feng Qiuhuang with slightly rosy cheeks.
He nodded and said, "Boss Long, the recent projects have been completed very well. This is my resignation report. The unfinished projects under my command have been handed over to Manager Lin."
Long Aotian was sitting in his office chair. When he heard that he was here to resign, he held his chin with his hand and rubbed his chin back and forth with two fingers. He then looked at Feng Qiuhuang standing next to him, his eyes tinged with teasing: "Resign? Why would you resign suddenly?"
Before Chen Zheyu could say anything, Feng Qiuhuang next to him spoke up.
"Yes, Brother Chen, you can't resign. You are a great help to Brother Long and me! Your achievements in the company are known to everyone. After so many years of development in the company, why do you want to resign?"
Feng Qiuhuang and Chen Zheyu grew up in the same place. Since Chen Zheyu was five years older than her, he had taken care of her since she was a child. Later, after she went to college and was admitted to City A, she gradually distanced herself from this girl next door.
When we met again, she was working in the same company as mine. She had also changed, and I no longer recognized her. The clear eyes of my sister were now filled with emotions that I could not understand.
As for the way she was looking at him now, he didn't know what it meant, but he knew clearly that his and Feng Qiuhuang's growth experience had become a thorn in Long Aotian's heart, so he squeezed him like this after he came to power.
If it were in the past, he might have continued to work hard for the company, but the leaders have changed. Thinking of the rumors in City A, saying that the Long family is expected to replace the Lin family and become the richest family in City A, and Lin Qingyan is no longer in this company, he naturally does not want to stay.
Seeing the unclear emotions in Feng Qiuhuang's eyes and the teasing in Long Aotian's eyes, he smiled lightly: "Boss Long, Xiao Huang, everyone has their own ambitions. So, considering that I have some merits, can you let me go?"
Feng Qiuhuang wanted to say something but was stopped by Long Aotian.
Long Aotian stood up, straightened the folds of his suit, walked up to Chen Zheyu, and looked him straight in the eye: "Okay, but I still hope that you can get to a higher position one day."
Chen Zheyu lowered his head and smiled bitterly, ignoring the targeting in his words. His mind was full of scenes of him accompanying Lin Qingyan in her struggles. Without her, wouldn't it be the same wherever he was? Even the Bole had been blinded, so where should he go from here?
