170: Vicious leaders hate the whole world equally
In the villa next door, Xie Yunxuan was sitting in the styling room, letting his team help him with his look.
Xie Yunxuan raised his hand, sniffed his wrist, and asked his assistant, "I don't smell like the bathroom anymore, do I?"
"No, only the elegant scent of perfume," the assistant said with a flattering smile, thinking to himself, "You only swept for half an hour, barely more than someone constipated on the toilet. What smell could there be?"
"I'm really fed up! I still have to clean the second-floor balcony later!" Xie Yunxuan rubbed his arm.
This afternoon's guest free-for-all, he received five mission cards. Among them, Chen Fang, for some unknown reason, sent him a "Designated 1 Person Cleaning Card." This card could be used for ordinary areas, less than 20 square meters.
The place Chen Fang designated was the balcony, probably wanting him to feed mosquitoes. Anyway, with mosquito coils and bug spray, he was dressed tightly, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
Xie Yunxuan pulled out his phone, scrolled twice, then looked at the program's promotional content for tonight on the screen, and snorted.
He looked back at his own team in the styling room, then, without any scruples, turned back to his assistant and complained,
"Heh, I was wondering why Chen Fang has been praising my foresight recently, always praising me in the novel field. Turns out he's writing himself and hopes I'll flatter him a bit then?"
Xie Yunxuan disdainfully turned off his phone screen, adjusted his bangs in the mirror, "Praise him? Even if I'm generous and ignore his petty actions, I can't bring myself to lie through my teeth. Does he think he's like Dongfang, who can become a god with one book? Dongfang is definitely an old author, just writing under a new pen name. Chen Fang, hehe, let's talk after he's written for a few more years."
Xiao Qi, the assistant, gave an awkward smile, hesitated for a moment, and to ensure he could sleep soundly for the next half a month, decided to offer some advice.
"Brother, why don't you stop provoking him? He hasn't really done anything to you, it's just a prank, right? There's no need for us to target him."
Xie Yunxuan bit his lip and turned his head, his brows furrowed, "Why are you siding with him? What did I do? I'm just complaining to you! Besides, how am I targeting him? Right now, I want to mess with Bai Wenbin even more; that bastard actually dared to make me clean the toilet. And Liang Yan, desperately sucking up to Teacher Yue, does she even see him? It would be great if these three scumbags could just fight among themselves."
The assistant sighed silently.
When he quit this job, he would write a novel, and he already had the title in mind: "The Malicious Boss Who Equally Hates the Entire World."
He once thought that "fighting the whole world for you" only existed in novels and idol dramas. Now he realized that he was the clown.
His boss was at war with the world, so he had no choice but to be at war with the world too. Alas!
...
Half an hour later, at 6:40.
Yue Qingzhu, Liang Yan, and Chen Fang had already arrived and sat down, with the four of them spread out in the small living room.
Yue Qingzhu sat diagonally opposite Chen Fang, a position where she could easily see him but wouldn't frequently make eye contact.
Soon, footsteps were heard from the doorway, and Bai Wenbin and Xie Yunxuan walked in one after another.
Bai Wenbin surveyed the surroundings and walked towards the balcony.
Chen Fang turned to look at Bai Wenbin.
There was a long sofa on the balcony, very similar to the style the protagonists' family sat on when performing a leaping special in novels, and it also offered a view of the starry sky.
Bai Wenbin's nerves were already fragile; sitting there would make him feel fully immersed, and he might not be able to sleep even more at night.
Chen Fang kindly raised his hand and patted the sofa, pointing to a lazy sofa not far from the small living room, "Teacher Bai, wait a moment, sit here."
"Ah? Okay." Bai Wenbin didn't know what he was doing, pondered that this position was two meters away from Chen Fang, and then sat down blankly.
Xie Yunxuan frowned slightly. What was Chen Fang up to now?
He had received a task to clean the balcony at 8:30, so why wouldn't Chen Fang let Bai Wenbin sit on the balcony?
Zhao Jin and Shen Wantang hadn't arrived yet.
Xie Yunxuan's eyes widened slightly, and the scene from the amusement park this afternoon flashed in his mind—
Zhao Jin stood at the entrance of a small shop, hesitated for a few minutes, bought a bag of sunflower seeds for eight yuan, and excitedly said she planned to eat them while listening to the story.
Holy cow! Chen Fang wanted Zhao Jin to sit on the balcony, making a mess with sunflower seed shells all over the floor, and then have him clean it up, right?
Xie Yunxuan quickly walked towards the balcony, sat on the long sofa, deliberately lay down to occupy the entire sofa, propped his hands behind his head, looked at the sky, and didn't forget to find an excuse for himself, "Ah, I was a bit tired from cleaning just now. Let me lie down for a bit. It's truly pleasant to lie down and listen to stories."
Chen Fang's mouth twitched, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Was his true self really an automatic money-generating machine?
Since he insisted on giving, he would take it for now, and when he became successful, he would give him some resources back.
He estimated that by then, Little Xie would feel that he was morally upright and repaying kindness with kindness, which would make him feel so guilty that he would burst out with even more negative emotional value.
Tsk, was this the legendary win-win situation?
...
Time passed by minute by minute, and many fans had already set up live broadcast reminders, or were eating dinner and lying down watching videos, waiting for the show to start.
In a residential area in the Capital.
High school girl Hu Tingting had just finished her weekend homework, let out a long sigh of relief, pulled out her phone, and waited for the show to start.
She had to watch it quickly so she would have something to talk about at school tomorrow.
Seven or eight girls in her class liked Chen Fang. This show said it was restricted to 18+, but she had already watched many horror movies and wasn't scared. Tomorrow, maybe she could become the most knowledgeable, the one who had watched it all, the closest person to her idol, hehe.
She strolled to the living room, took an ice cream from the refrigerator, and was about to go back to her room when she ran into her dad, Hu Bin.
Hu Bin frowned slightly, "Can't you go for a walk after you finish your homework? You're always holding your phone."
"As if you go for walks." Hu Tingting pouted and was about to walk into her room, holding the doorknob as she turned back and said, "I'm going to listen to a novel, a sci-fi novel. Dad, you're someone who studies contemporary literature, you wouldn't stop me from listening to a novel, would you?"
"..." Hu Bin frowned helplessly, "Fine, you listen."
Hu Tingting finished her ice cream, and before the broadcast even started, she ran to the kitchen to wash an apple. As soon as it was clean, a broadcast notification popped up on her screen.
Her eyes lit up, and she quickly clicked it.
The next moment, several guests appeared on the screen, and the bullet comments also furiously popped up.
[What kind of sci-fi horror story is this? People eaten by computers while playing games?]
[Move the camera a bit to the left, Xiaobai is blocked by Chen Fang! I want to see Xiaobai!]
[Chen Fang is really amazing, he can even write novels now. Keep up the good work, you'll win the Nobel Prize in Literature in two years.]
[What's with the passive aggression? Report the haters!]
[Lan Ye]: Awesome, I'll come and listen too, to learn something.
[Can you guys stop being so passive-aggressive? Can't a beginner write novels?]
[One Second Three Thousand Six Hundred Characters]: @Lan Ye, speak normally, don't embarrass yourself. I just finished updating, so I'm here to join the fun too.
[Fangfang, your head is a bit reflective, where's your wig?]
[Another hater. Dog head .JPG]
