Outrageous! This crappy system forces me to upgrade my beauty every day

Chapter 169: The Scam Company

Cheng Wang and Xu Wuyang stayed together for quite a while before returning to the house.

Xu Wuyang cooked some glutinous rice balls for a few people and prepared to eat them together while staying up all night to welcome the New Year.

Several people gathered around the TV screen, watching the Spring Festival Gala and eating dumplings.

Finally, when "Unforgettable Tonight" sounded, everyone yawned.

After persisting for another two minutes, they all agreed that it didn't matter if they didn't observe the age limit, and went upstairs to sleep.

The next day, Xu Wuyang quietly got up from the bed and fiddled around in the room for a while.

He quietly came to Cheng Wang's bed and carefully stuffed a big, bulging red envelope under his pillow.

Cheng Wang slowly opened his eyes, reached out and grabbed Xu Wuyang's hand, and used his arms to carry him to the bed. His voice was still a little hoarse from not waking up yet.

"What did you put under the pillow?"

Xu Wuyang kissed him on the forehead and reached out to stroke his eyelashes back and forth with his fingertips.

Cheng Wang let Xu Wuyang do whatever he wanted, pinched his other little hand, and kissed it on his lips.

"Cheng Wang... do you like children?"

Cheng Wang raised his eyes to look at Xu Wuyang and answered without thinking.

"like you…"

Xu Wuyang opened his mouth and bit his chin, with a hint of reproach in his eyes.

"Don't criticize him, just answer my question directly!"

Cheng Wang smiled, reached out and held Xu Wuyang in his arms, and pinched his waist.

"You want to have a baby? That might be a little difficult. I'll have to work harder.

However, this year happens to be the Year of the Dragon, so having a dragon baby wouldn't be bad either. Should we try now?"

Xu Wuyang gritted his teeth. He had no idea where Cheng Wang learned these dirty words from.

It was early in the morning and he was so angry that he was pressed under Cheng Wang.

"Baby dragon! You've crushed my precious baby. I'll give birth to a stupid snake for you next year!"

Cheng Wang gently moved his legs away and reached out to support Xu Wuyang's little butt.

"Snakes are fine too. I like all your offspring..."

Xu Wuyang rolled his eyes. It was unnecessary for him to ask such a stupid question!

After the New Year, Cheng Wang and Xu Wuyang finally became busy again.

The new movie is almost ready and is about to start shooting.

Almost all the actors collaborating this time are powerful veteran actors, and Xu Wuyang is the only traffic star in the entire crew.

Of course, there is also Lin Yue, who is neither a popular actor nor a talented actor.

Lin Yue returned to work at the company after the second day of the Chinese New Year. Yuanbao cried for a long time at that time.

As a result, when I saw Lin Yue on the set, he was smiling like a silly cow and running to ask people how they were doing.

"Is your mother okay? How is her recovery?" Xu Wuyang took a sip of water and turned to ask Lin Yue.

Lin Yue's expression suddenly froze. He pinched the script in his hand and said calmly, "She probably won't wake up."

Xu Wuyang's movements suddenly stopped, and his expression became awkward for a moment.

"Sorry, I...."

"It's okay. I'm not sad anymore. After all, it's been many years."

Lin Yue smiled, looking like he really didn't care.

Xu Wuyang didn't dare to ask any more questions, for fear of touching other people's scars.

But Lin Yue took the initiative to bring it up, recounting the past with a calm expression.

"It's nothing, my mom was beaten like this by my dad.

He may have a violent gene hidden in his body, and his mind becomes unclear when he drinks.

When he gets drunk, he will abuse my mother, but when he sobers up, he will tearfully beg for her forgiveness."

Then, he gently took the cup of water handed to him by Yuanbao, whispered a thank you, and continued speaking.

"They may also love each other, otherwise why don't they separate?

Three years ago, my father got drunk again and beat my mother like this.

He thought he had beaten my mother to death, and I don't know if he was afraid of being punished or committing suicide for love, but he turned around and slashed his throat with a knife."

When saying this, Lin Yue also made a gesture with his neck, and finally he actually laughed out loud.

"What a pity! He should have died outside. That way, our house could at least have been sold for a good price."

Lin Yue looked at the red dates and wolfberries in the quilt, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

Xu Wuyang also knew what to say. He looked up at the sunlight shining through the clouds above his head, then turned around and reminded him.

"It seems the crew ordered caramel pudding for lunch. It should taste very sweet. Remember to try it."

Lin Yue nodded, responded, took out a book and a pen from his bag, and began to fill in the form.

Xu Wuyang had been reading the script all morning and felt a little tired.

He stretched and was about to take out his phone to play a game when he turned around and glanced at Lin Yue.

"Sudoku?"

Lin Yue was immersed in calculations. When he heard Xu Wuyang's words, he suddenly raised his head.

"yes..."

Seeing that Xu Wuyang seemed very interested, he handed the Sudoku book to him.

"Do you want to play?"

Xu Wuyang was indeed quite interested. He took it carefully and found that Lin Yue had already done most of it.

“This seems to be quite difficult for you…”

Xu Wuyang filled in a 4 in one of the boxes and muttered softly.

"Do you usually play this when you have free time?"

Lin Yue took a pen and filled in a 9 in one of the boxes and responded.

"My major was mathematics, so I usually use it for fun."

Xu Wuyang finished filling in the last box and raised his head with shining eyes.

"Which school are you from? Are you also in City A?"

Lin Yue held the pen in his hand, with no expression on his face.

"Yeah, at C University... but I dropped out because I ran out of money."

Xu Wuyang looked regretful, as C University was one of the most prestigious universities in China.

"So your mother spends a lot of money every month, right?"

When Xu Wuyang's family members were sick, they were also admitted to the ICU, which is a very expensive place.

Lin Yue smiled, his lips turning a little pale. "That's about right. The money I earn every month is just enough."

Xu Wuyang frowned. Although Lin Yue was not very famous, he had filmed several dramas and must have accumulated a lot of traffic.

Although the cost of ICU is high, it will not cost that much money.

Lin Yue seemed to have guessed what Xu Wuyang was thinking and explained in a low voice.

“When I first started in the industry, I didn’t understand these things. There were many traps in the contract, but I signed it because I needed money urgently.

Now I want to terminate the contract, but their penalty is 1000 million, which I can’t afford.”

"Holy crap!! 1000 million! Why doesn't your company just go grab it? Are you crazy about the money?"

Xu Wuyang was so scared that he jumped up from his chair and cursed loudly.

He thought, no wonder Lin Yue reminded him not to join their stupid company.

He knew this company had its drawbacks, but he didn't expect them to be so deceptive!

The work assigned to Lin Yue was more than twice his workload, and they were all commercial performances with no added value.

There isn't even any training course for employees, and Lin Yue isn't a professional actor, so it'd be strange if his acting skills weren't bad.

The most disgusting thing is this kind of company. The contract is full of traps. You can't terminate the contract even if you want to, and you can only let the company control you.

Lin Yue patted Xu Wuyang's shoulder with a calm expression, obviously having accepted the reality.

"Let's go eat first..."
