Xie Gu wasn’t interested in looking, but since the system refused to stop and he hadn’t found a way to silence the annoying little thing, he had no choice but to check the protagonist’s progress.
The system could show two kinds of progress bars. One was the Vengeance Meter, and the other was the original protagonist’s Success Meter.
While the two meters affected each other, their relationship wasn’t absolute. When Xie Gu’s Vengeance Meter reached the passing mark, he could then ask to leave this world. But if the protagonist’s Success Meter became full first while he was here, his mission would fail, and Xie Gu would be trapped here forever.
In other words, he would die in the real world.
At this moment, Xie Gu saw that Xu Yucheng’s Success Meter had already reached 20%.
Its increase had progressed much faster than Xie Gu’s Vengeance Meter.
That was why the system had been pestering Xie Gu about it after it noticed the increase.
Xie Gu was silent for a moment before asking, ‘Do you know what happened to him?’
The system answered honestly, ‘I’m not sure.’
Xie Gu then asked, ‘Then why are you in such a rush?’
The system replied, ‘This is a special service given to newbies. If there are any huge changes, we will send a short message… No, we will automatically inform the hosts.’
‘Turn it off. It’s annoying,’ Xie Gu said without hesitation and then checked his Vengeance Meter.
The system was about to ask why he was checking his Vengeance Meter since it shouldn’t be increasing when it noticed the Vengeance Meter had also slowly increased to 20%. It reached the same level as Xu Yucheng’s Success Meter.
‘Why…?’ The system was in so much shock that it could feel its own codes scrambling.
Xie Gu then said, ‘I believe I should be the one asking the question, but since both meters have been progressing…’
He paused before letting out a chuckle, ‘He probably did something that benefits his career but betrays his own heart.’
There could be no other reason for his Vengeance Meter to increase so quickly when he was so far away and unable to do anything. It would only increase when Xu Yucheng himself felt that he had been humiliated.
But what did he do?
Xie Gu stroked his chin, thinking about it curiously for a while. Only after that did he return to his work.
He was not in a rush; he would eventually find out what he needed to know.
It was already late at night, and Xu Yucheng was sitting by the roadside, burying his face in his hands. There were tears in his eyes, but he couldn’t cry out loud.
An hour ago, he had drugged his friend and delivered him to a man’s bed… so that the company could get more resources.
He had tried convincing himself that such callousness was needed to rise to the top. He told himself he would compensate Zhang Shi, and Wu Borang would also allow it.
Xu Yucheng did manage to calm down. However, he met Guan Hongtu right outside the elevator after delivering Zhang Shi into Sun Qian’s room.
He couldn’t react in time when Guan Hongtu started clapping his hands. “I knew you wouldn’t let me down.”
Xu Yucheng wanted to ask him what he meant, only to hear Guan Hongtu say with a smile, “You’re quite brutal. But seeing how upset you are, I should tell you something else. Zhang Shi is the one who told Wu Borang that Sun Qian wanted you.”
At this time, Guan Hongtu pressed the elevator button. While waiting for it, he asked, “How do you feel? Much better?”
Xu Yucheng tried to suppress the urge to vomit, and his only reaction was to follow him into the elevator, but Guan Hongtu stopped him and pressed the button to close the door. “You haven’t earned the right to ride the same elevator as me yet, young man.”
And the only words Guan Hongtu left before the doors closed were… “Perhaps only your ex-bandmate Xie Gu has the right to be here with me.”
Xu Yucheng almost collapsed on the ground when he saw Guan Hongtu leave.
He had never clearly realized just how important it was to become stronger. Only when he was truly popular and successful would he have the right to refuse something. When he was popular, he wouldn’t have to suffer and find out that the friend he sacrificed was the one who wanted to harm him first.
Xu Yucheng barged into the emergency stairwell in shock, but he kept recalling the last two sentences that Guan Hongtu said to him.
No right.
Xie Gu.
Why?!
Only when he reached the hotel door did someone who looked like a secretary quickly approach him and put a name card into his hand before leaving without saying anything.
Xu Yucheng glanced at the name card and noticed it belonged to a manager from Jingong Entertainment.
Jingong Entertainment was the largest entertainment company in the industry and belonged to Liyuan Corporation. If he could join Jingong Entertainment, it would be a testament to his potential to become popular and an acknowledgment of his skills as a celebrity.
This was his best opportunity to jump ship.
However, Wu Borang and Zhang Shi…
Xu Yucheng sat by the roadside for a very long time before finally making a decision.
The next day, Zhang Shi was completely stunned when he woke up in bed with his body hurting all over.
Once he realized what happened, Zhang Shi nearly collapsed.
He never expected that Xu Yucheng would do something like this to him instead.
Sun Qian approached him again, his hand not stopping at all. “What? You didn’t like it?”
When Zhang Shi saw the video recorder already set up in the corner of the room, he knew he was done for. If he fought back, he would be ruined. He had no choice but to simply smile and shake his head. “Of course not. I thought you wouldn’t like me.”
Sun Qian smiled, satisfied. “If I’m being honest, the one I liked most in your band was Xie Gu. Unfortunately, he retired from the industry and is no longer within my reach.”
Despite the humiliation, Zhang Shi had no choice but to agree with him.
That evening, Zhang Shi immediately went to Xu Yucheng’s home. After kicking the door and roaring for a long time, he found out from neighbors that Xu Yucheng wasn’t home. He had no choice but to leave when Xu Yucheng didn’t pick up his calls.
He thought he would find a chance eventually, but Xu Yucheng disappeared for almost a month, and he couldn’t find him at all.
The summer of June came quickly. Gufei Restaurant moved its headquarters to the capital and organized a dinner party to celebrate. Many business owners they had a relationship with were invited. Sun Qian also managed to get an invitation thanks to his extremely distant relationship with the company and took Zhang Shi with him.
Only now did Zhang Shi finally see how Xie Gu was doing.
Xie Gu was so vigorous and confident that Zhang Shi felt a desire to destroy him.
Nothing else mattered to him. He walked to the balcony and dialed a number, and the first thing he said was, “I know you have Xie Gu’s dirt. Give it to me.”
He didn’t know that Xie Gu wasn’t far away and heard everything thanks to the system.
“His opening sentence is such a bore,” Xie Gu said as he swirled the wine in his glass, walking away. “I already know how this will end before it even starts.”
The system wanted to ask what would be more interesting for him then.
But the system could also guess Xie Gu’s answer without even asking.
Money, of course.
