After five bigwigs in Beijing's elite circle fell into their trap, I fled.

Chapter 176, No Qualities of a Top Rich Person

“Sir, did you… perhaps reverse the male and female leads?” Ning Yunzhan asked tentatively.

"No, it's based on my and Ali's personalities."

"..." Feng Li laughed angrily, "Baby, no matter how much your brother acts up, he can't say such disgusting nonsense as 'I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen'!"

Yan Yu coughed lightly: "Sister, what does OOXX mean?"

"The physical interactions that make your heart race, do you understand what I mean?" Jiang Shu showed great patience with her first drama, "Commonly known as married life."

Yan Yu coughed even more violently: "Sister, isn't this scene transition too abrupt? And we just discovered the female lead was cheating, and the next moment the two are physically entangled. Logically speaking, it doesn't make sense. Besides, even you yourself don't really understand that kind of thing, so how can you, as the director, film it?"

"Who would actually film those kinds of scenes? I'm making serious dramas, so I'll just go through the motions. As for logic, when watching short dramas, who doesn't put their brain away first, just looking for mindless enjoyment?"

Yan Yu hesitated, then stopped herself from speaking: "..."

Li Yubai pointed his long, slender finger at the character of the extremely ugly beggar: "Is the male lead ugly?"

"It's based on Ali, how could it be ugly?" Jiang Shu retorted.

Feng Li said with a resentful tone, "With my face and the status of the richest man, why should a hideous beggar steal my man? You can be brainless in this drama, but you can't be inhuman."

"Look what happens next! There's a twist! The ugly beggar's face heals and he's a handsome guy! The second male lead, he's the second male lead in this story, how can we let him be really ugly!" Jiang Shu thought for a moment, "To become an instant star, I was even planning to invite Yan Yu to play this role. With Yan Yu on board, he can't be ugly, absolutely not ugly!"

Yan Yu, unusually flustered, said, "No, sister, I've had a lot of engagements lately, I really don't have time."

Just to be on the safe side, he added, "Sister, you plan to finish filming over the seven-day National Day holiday, right? I happen to be staying at the film set during those days, so even if it's a guest appearance, I might not have time."

“No, he has time.” Feng Li was unusually kind. “Baby, as long as you change the male lead’s character and don’t harass me, I’ll cancel all of Yan Yu’s appearances during the National Day holiday and film you specifically.”

Jiang Shu paused for a moment, then said, "Could we continue reading? What if it's not as bad as you think?"

Upon seeing Jiang Shu's dejected expression, the men's hearts softened instantly, and they began to try to accept the story that would unfold.

Scene 2-1. Night. Roadside
Characters: Female protagonist, extremely ugly beggar

Female lead: Tell me, check or cash? I can give you anything except love.

Ugly beggar (insecure): I dare not ask for your love, please give me fifty yuan in cash.

Female lead (surprised): I am the richest man's favorite woman, and every single item I own costs more than a hundred dollars. You only want fifty dollars?

Ugly Beggar: I've been ugly since childhood, my life is as insignificant as an ant's, I only deserve fifty yuan.

The female lead (moved): So pure and unambitious! You possess such a noble soul! Man, I declare you've successfully caught my attention.

The female protagonist generously took out 100 yuan in cash and gave it to the extremely ugly beggar.

Female lead (arrogantly): And what I can give you is far more than you can imagine.
The ugly beggar shed tears of emotion.

Female lead: Don't cry, you're mine now. I won't let my man shed a single tear.
The female lead (hesitates for two seconds, then generously takes out twenty and hands it to the beggar): Add another twenty!

At the corner, the billionaire protagonist, who had returned, looked sorrowful, tears streaming down his face.

The male protagonist (to himself): I'm your man too, yet you made me cry all night. Heartbroken, he throws his phone in the trash, turns around, and boards a private jet to leave the country.

Feng Li lingered on his tongue for a long time with the phrase "There's no such thing as unbearable, only more unbearable," but looking at his precious baby's earnest and expectant eyes, he finally swallowed it back.

Li Yubai pondered, "These amounts of fifty and one hundred yuan don't fit the standard for the richest person. I usually use tens of thousands as the minimum unit and hundreds of millions as the common unit..."

And what about things like 'add another twenty'? It's a bit shameful to even look at. As the wife of the richest man, she probably wouldn't do that, right?

But when Li Yubai thought about what if the richest man's wife was Jiang Shu... then the plot seemed to make sense again...

Ning Yunzhan spoke tactfully: "We wealthy people almost never throw our phones away so easily. They contain important information, possibly involving hundreds of billions of dollars."

Yan Yu sighed softly, "Sister, those domineering CEO quotes of yours are a bit cheesy..."

Rong Jingchen turned the page with a tense expression—

Scene 5-1, Daytime, Hotel
Characters: Female lead, Male lead, Ugly beggar, Doctor, Assistant

The male protagonist was drugged, and his assistant called a doctor.

Doctor: This is the most potent drug in the world; there is no antidote except for women.

Assistant: Madam, ever since you and your husband signed the divorce papers, countless women have tried every trick in the book. Please, for the sake of your marriage, save your husband!
Female lead: All of you, get out!
The assistant was overjoyed and led everyone away.

Indoors, from night to dawn, they engaged in sexual intercourse. At daybreak, the woman emerged, looking exhausted and disheveled.

Female lead (to her assistant): Don't tell him.
Assistant: Madam, you clearly still love him, why do you insist on leaving him?
Female lead: How can a marriage of convenience compare to the destructive power of a true love? I was just doing him a favor!

Assistant: No, the richest man has never had a "white moonlight" in his heart; he only has eyes for his wife.

The female lead: From the moment that woman returned to the country, he went through her information more than ten times overnight, his eyes never leaving her photo. He even dispatched a large number of people the very next day to constantly track her movements, protecting her meticulously, afraid that she would appear before me and be bullied! If this isn't love, I'll twist my head off.
Assistant: Madam, is there some misunderstanding...?

Female lead: There's no misunderstanding. Remember to remind him to finalize the divorce next week.
When the male protagonist wakes up, the first thing he sees is the female protagonist, disheveled, and the extremely ugly beggar silently guarding her side.
Male lead (enraged): Honey! How could you be so cruel? You actually did that to that adulterer right in front of me! I will never give you another chance to love me.

Assistant: Sir, it's not what you think!
Male protagonist: What is it?

Assistant: ...I won't say.

The male protagonist resolutely leaves: "Baby, this time even if you beg me, I won't turn back! My body, my soul that loves you so deeply, you will never touch them again!"

……

The five men, seasoned by life's ways, all felt an overwhelming sense of suffocation.

"My sister seems to have a particular fondness for the term 'OOXX'..." Yan Yu really didn't know how to comment.

Jiang Shu nodded matter-of-factly: "This is the data access code. You can censor it, but you have to have it!"

Rong Jingchen remained silent for a long time: "My patron, should we change all the lines? Normal people don't talk like that..."

"Short dramas are all about being crazy." Jiang Shu glanced at the group. "There's an ending too, take a look? There's a twist! A huge twist!"
