Showbiz Escape

Chapter 16

Tang Chunen is Wen Zhuo's childhood friend. The two have been sitting in the front and back rows since elementary school. They are all in the same school for junior high school and high school. Although they are not together in university, they are still in the same city, and they have to get together every now and then.

Such a relationship is naturally a true best friend.

The two have talked about everything for many years, and Tang Chunen is also an insider, not restricted by the confidentiality rules of the Vanity Fair system, so she is currently the only friend who knows Wen Zhuo's identity as a bounty hunter.

She has been Jiang Zhou's assistant since she graduated from university. As the youngest actor of Hua Zhao, Jiang Zhou is well-known in the industry for his indifference, vicious tongue, and unreasonableness—a talented actor with a weird temper. Cool, but how difficult it is, I am afraid that only the close staff will have a deep understanding.

Jiang Zhou had changed seven or eight assistants back and forth, and the average time each assistant could tolerate him was between three months and half a year. The manager also had a headache because of this, and communicated with him many times without any effect.

It wasn't until Tang Chunen was hired that the situation eased.

Tang Chunen has a good temper, is smart and considerate, and works in an orderly manner.Regardless of her young age, there are many things that others can't solve, but she can always take the lead, think of ways to play cards that do not follow common sense, and use some ingenious ideas to cater to Jiang Zhou's preferences, so that she can coax Jiang Zhou for a long time. emotionally stable.

She has worked with Jiang Zhou for four years, and no one has ever been able to accompany Jiang Zhou for such a long time, and Jiang Zhou has gradually gotten used to her presence, even though he refuses to admit it.

But in fact, Tang Chunen's excellent work does not mean that she has no ideas of her own. When she was running around for nearly 24 hours, she was followed by Jiang Zhou all the time and couldn't have even a day off. However, why do I have to be tied so tightly at a young age, can I bravely give up this seemingly high-paying job, and try a new job that is a little less leisurely?

At least in that way, I can go to the city I like to share with my girlfriends, raise a kitten or puppy when I have time, watch a movie and sing K, or go to shopping malls and playgrounds.

However, what she said to Jiang Zhou actually didn't make any sense, because Jiang Zhou couldn't understand it at all.

After learning that she was about to resign, his answer was:

"What kind of difficult problem is this? If you need it, I can give you a few days off to let you finish what you want to do; you like to go shopping, nothing more than shopping, I usually give you clothes, shoes and famous brands Not enough bags? If not, you can choose again; as for raising cats and dogs, they will take up a lot of your energy, and you can use that time to create more value of your own, I suggest you give up your boring thoughts.”

"...No boss, I think it is more suitable for me to resign than to create value."

Tang Chunen was like Ming Jing in his heart, and it was impossible to expect to reason with Jiang Zhou. He had his own logic, and he could refute her back with those fallacies endlessly.

So the best way is to leave without talking about it.

The memory was pulled back to reality, Tang Chunen was sitting on the sofa at Wen Zhuo's house, pouring himself a glass of sparkling wine slowly.

"The process is such a process. Anyway, I have completed the resignation procedures." She said, "From then on, I no longer have to be bossed around by Jiang. With the training he has given me in the past four years, I feel No matter where I go to work in the future, I will be able to deal with difficult leaders with ease."

Wen Zhuo sat aside, gnawing on the fried chicken with no expression on his face: "Is the salary settled? Jiang Yingdi didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

"It didn't make things difficult for me. The most excessive thing was just to lightly call me a white-eyed wolf." Tang Chunen shrugged helplessly, "He even had a sense of ceremony. Before he left, he even gave me a necklace, Filamur's good luck key, 5 yuan many."

"...I have resigned, and gave you more than 5 necklaces. Could it be that he likes you?"

"Not at all." Tang Chunen denied categorically, "I know him well, he just wanted to show that he didn't treat his employees harshly, insinuating that I don't know good and bad, and tried to make me leave with guilt."

"Then are you guilty?"

"Why am I guilty? For four years, I have tried my best to give him the saddle. I have to work hard even with a high fever, and my waist has some problems. Is it not enough to overdraw my body? I take this necklace with confidence, I deserve it all."

"It's best for you to think that way." Wen Zhuo nodded in satisfaction, "Let's change the story of actor Jiang for the time being. Let's discuss now about your invitation from the bounty hunter."

Tang Chunen sighed: "I received the invitation the day before yesterday. The system only gave me three days to think about it. I have to make a choice before tomorrow morning."

The selection of bounty hunters by the Vanity Fair system is actually semi-mandatory, because even if you do not accept the invitation, you still have to participate in the game as an ordinary player, and the difficulty of the game will be higher.

Wen Zhuo said: "Since I have found you, my suggestion here is to agree, otherwise you will suffer more when you participate in the game in the future - the system is very careful, and it will deliberately punish those who refuse the invitation."

"I really can't figure it out, why did you choose me? I'm not you, I don't come from a martial arts family, and I don't know how to climb rocks and shoot. I'm just an ordinary person. Am I worthy of being a hunter?"

"You have to know that the selection of bounty hunters is very complicated. Combat strength is not the only criterion. Intelligence, agility, leadership, observation, memory, etc., can be selected if they are outstanding in any aspect. Otherwise, why would everyone be introduced in the forum? The bounty hunter's area of ​​expertise?"

"...Then how did I get selected?"

"You have a strong learning ability and are smart enough. I still remember that in order to cater to Jiang Zhou's preferences and let him make a good impression on you, you were so dedicated that you learned golf and horse riding. You learned very quickly—although you came to me. Borrowed money."

Tang Chunen coughed dryly, and quickly pressed Wen Zhuo's hand: "Don't bring up the past, who told me that I wasn't financially independent at that time?"

Wen Zhuo smiled: "It doesn't matter if you still don't want to be independent, just stay at my house and slowly adapt to your new identity as a bounty hunter."

"is it hard?"

"Pass the ability testing field first, it shouldn't be too difficult for you." She thought for a while and added, "When you are officially qualified to take orders and have income, you can just use the money to do what you like. thing."

"for example?"

"Like, open an escape room store that you've always wanted to open."

Tang Chunen frowned and smiled beamingly: "You still know me best."

"Is the 20-year friendship for nothing?"

The two clinked glasses happily.

At this time, Tang Chun'en suddenly seemed to remember something again, even though this distant memory seemed a bit inappropriate.

She asked: "Hey, by the way, Ah Zhuo, I remember the phone call we had two months ago. I was busy at the time, did you ask me if I knew someone named Ye Lingchuan?"

Such a mention reminded Wen Zhuo, and Wen Zhuo readily agreed: "Yes, he is a young actor, he seems to have acted in the same drama as Jiang Zhou, and he is the male villain in it."

This is naturally the information she found on the Internet. Later, she deliberately followed Ye Lingchuan's social account with a trumpet, and occasionally went to check his updates.

It's a pity that Ye Lingchuan seldom posts updates, and only updates once every half a month, or takes pictures of food, or puts a photo of the atmosphere of the back or profile, which is obviously perfunctory.

She's been busy recently, so she's getting less and less attention.

Tang Chunen used his mobile phone to check on the spot, and was obviously shocked when he saw Ye Lingchuan's photo.

She was surprised, not because Ye Lingchuan looked familiar, but because she knew very well that this man's appearance was completely based on her sister's aesthetic point - after all, Wen Zhuo liked handsome guys who looked ruffian and bad.

"Absolutely, where did you know this?"

"From the game."

Tang Chunen was taken aback, feeling that this matter was a bit bizarre: "I know it from the game, but that knowledge is useless. Doesn't the system automatically clear the player's impression of other players in the game?"

"He doesn't remember me, as long as I remember him."

"Then...how did this man perform in the game?"

"Ability is absolutely fine, and IQ online is also very responsible. It's just that luck is a little bit worse, just like me."

Who would have thought that the bosses in the game are all unlucky workers who work hard for their dreams but are never taken seriously.

Tang Chunen was thoughtful: "Do you think you will have a chance to meet again?"

Wen Zhuo shook his head calmly: "How do I know? It depends on fate."

When the fate comes, when the time comes, we will naturally meet again.
