Recount of a Cannon Fodder’s Counterattack (12)
She got pregnant not long after marriage. In order for her to take care of the fetus properly, her husband’s family forced her to quit her job.
During her pregnancy, her husband and his family did treat her quite well, but after giving birth and seeing that it was a girl, their attitudes changed completely.
No one helped her take care of the child, so she had to do everything herself and couldn’t find a new job.
With no income and no position at home, her husband didn’t help with anything, and even insulted her for not giving birth to a son or earning money.
She wanted to divorce countless times, but her family told her to endure it. At her age, without a job and taking care of a child, no one would want her.
Recently, she discovered that her husband had an affair and during the argument that ensued, her husband hit her.
These kind of despairing days made her think about committing suicide with her child many times.
She said she felt like she couldn’t do it anymore. If she could redo everything, she would rather spend her life alone than marry so hastily again.
She wanted him to write a story where she could make a better decision and not have any regrets.
After reading these messages, Lu Shijin felt a lot of different emotions.
No one’s life was perfect and everyone lived with misfortune and setbacks. For some people, living was the greatest pain for them.
Real life choices could not be undone, but in a story, they could feel better about themselves through imagination.
These three people were just a fraction of the countless people who suffer in life.
Unrecognized efforts, not receiving good karma, misogyny, those are all just examples of unfairness.
Then, compared to Wang Lizhi, some ignorant and inexperienced person who enjoyed the adoration of many people by deceiving them. How could such trash deserve to be successful?
Was there really no notion of fairness?
Lu Shijin sneered. Even if there is no fairness, he will make it fair.
Lu Shijin responded to the three people and accepted their commission. He charged them different amounts. Although the actor wasn’t popular, his income was still more than average, so his price was more expensive than that of the businessman and housewife.
The three of them originally just wanted a place to tell their story and vent a bit, not expecting Lu Shijin to actually accept. Their replies were full of gratitude.
Lu Shijin asked for their basic information and then told 711 to search them up.
711’s investigation returned pretty similar things to what they described. Lu Shijin started planning.
His plan was to write them a story and actually change their real life circumstances. He would make “Jin Shilu” very popular, far more than “An Ordinary Pen.”
He started with the actor. The actor’s name was Zhang Hao. His appearance and acting were both pretty good. His hardworking attitude also got him a good reputation with his peers.
From his resume, he had already participated in twenty to thirty dramas and movies, and his roles ranged from small roles that had only one or two lines, to a second male lead. Nothing higher. Clearly, he had the skills, but he just couldn’t get popular.
Some people worked hard for their entire lives but couldn’t make it big because they lacked the opportunity, not because they weren’t good enough.
Zhang Hao had the potential to become popular. He just lacked a scout.
Lu Shijin didn’t know anyone in the entertainment industry, so he couldn’t immediately get a scout to push him.
He suddenly remembered that Jin Jingyao was part of the cosplay circle, and he was also the CEO of a publishing company, so he would probably know people in the entertainment industry.
Lu Shijin thought about it. The only person he knew and could help was Jin Jingyao, so he decided to go find him.
Speaking of Jin Jingyao, he hadn’t seen him ever since meeting in the hotel. Jin Jingyao had not contacted Lu Shijin.
Lu Shijin felt his heart pound. Was Jin Jingyao not going to see him unless he reached out first?
Lu Shijin gritted his teeth, he wouldn’t dare!
Lu Shijin sent Jin Jingyao a message, saying that he wanted to meet.
Afterwards, he sat with his phone for ten minutes until Jin Jingyao responded.
Jin Jingyao said ‘sure’. They were to meet in the same room as last time.
Lu Shijin found a random excuse to go out and meet with Jin Jingyao.
He didn’t understand why Jin Jingyao would always meet him in a hotel. It made it seem like they were meeting for other purposes.
If they actually were doing that, then he wouldn’t mind. However, because they weren’t, it made him unhappy.
Lu Shijin went to the front desk of the hotel to explain, but Jin Jingyao seemed to have already contacted them and the receptionist handed the room card to him.
Going into the room, he saw that Jin Jingyao was already waiting there.
He was wearing a business suit with a tie. He had taken off his suit jacket and put it on the sofa. His navy blue collared shirt made his muscles more evident, seeming both abstinent and sexy.
“Why did you want to meet?” Jin Jingyao put down the magazine in his hands and smiled towards Lu Shijin.
Lu Shijin looked around the room, making sure there was no one else, before saying outright, “I want your help.”
“With what?” Jin Jingyao asked.
Lu Shijin said coldly, “Didn’t you say that you’d help me replace Wang Lizhi? You haven’t contacted me in so long, have you forgotten about your words?”
Jin Jingyao laughed, “Of course not. I had a reason not to contact you. I’ve been spending a lot of time with Wang Lizhi lately. If I also met you, I’m afraid he might find out.”
“Wang Lizhi is already convinced you have feelings for him.” Lu Shijin sneered, “He’s busy thinking about how to get rid of me.”
“So why have you come to find me this time?” Jin JIngyao poured a glass of water for Lu Shijin, “It’s not because you got jealous, right?”
Lu Shijin laughed angrily. “Where do you see any jealousy?”
Jin Jingyao didn’t bother arguing, “Enough, let’s get back on the topic.”
“I have a plan that can completely make him irrelevant.” Lu Shijin said, “Then, even if he says that he was betrayed, no one would believe him.”
Jin Jingyao blinked, expressing interest, “Please elaborate.”
Lu Shijin summarized his plan for him. After listening to it, Jin Jingyao frowned in thought.
“Are you saying…” Jin Jingyao loosened his tie, “You want to write stories for other people and make the events in them true, changing their fate and making yourself into a prophet?
“Yes.”
Jin Jingyao lifted his cup and took a sip, “How interesting, then what about me?”
Lu Shijin didn’t understand. “What about you?”
Jin Jingyao slowly unbuttoned the top few buttons in his shirt and his sexy Adam’s apple bobbed. He looked at Lu Shijin with playfulness and said slowly, “I want my commission to become true too.”
