The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 419 Who Did You Pick?

However, despite the arguments, they were able to calm down afterward.

"In short, it's okay for other women to get pregnant, but marriage is absolutely out of the question." Fan Bingbing paced back and forth in the small room, fuming.

"What if he thinks it's necessary?" Gao Yuanyuan asked slowly and deliberately.

Fan Bingbing's expression stiffened: "You don't support me either?"

“It’s not that I don’t support you; from a selfish perspective, of course I should support you,” Gao Yuanyuan said calmly. “But the question now is, what does he think?”

“His ideas can be changed!” Fan Bingbing retorted.

"You still haven't given up..." Gao Yuanyuan sighed.

"Why should I give up?!" Fan Bingbing became agitated. "If we just go along with his ideas, what will happen in the long run? Haven't you all considered what that will be like?"

Her tone was tinged with complaint: "I've been the villain all along, and you've all been the good guys, and then I have to be your target."

"To be honest, most of the time I'm on your side," Gao Yuanyuan said kindly.

"Then why not this time?" Fan Bingbing countered.

“Because there will always be someone who will unconditionally stand by his side,” Gao Yuanyuan reminded him, “even without Li Yunxin.”

“How could that be?” Fan Bingbing snorted. “Liu Qianqian doesn’t seem like the type of person who can build a large family business.”

"We all have our own judgment on this, don't we?" Gao Yuanyuan said ambiguously.

As mentioned before, they, Lee Yoon-hyung, and Angela would simulate each other, and even if the information they obtained was inaccurate, they could still use it as a reference.

Over time, certain patterns will naturally emerge. For example, before Fan Bingbing met Gao Yuanyuan, Gao Yuanyuan occasionally appeared in the simulated future, and her identity was constantly changing. Sometimes she was an actress, sometimes a writer, and sometimes an ordinary secretary.

However, after officially meeting Gao Yuanyuan, the Gao Yuanyuan in the simulated future changed. She is now pursuing a path that focuses on being a writer and secondarily on business. Therefore, the simulated future mostly follows this path, only occasionally changing, such as becoming a writer and actress with equal emphasis, or shifting from a cultural company to a media company, and so on.

Liu Qianqian is very strange. She clearly used subtle words to influence her mother and amassed a considerable fortune, but the simulated future was nothing but a celebrity, who at most focused on acting one moment and singing the next.

This is clearly problematic.

However, Fan Bingbing did not respond to this, since it involved their privacy. Even if there were speculations, she would not take the initiative unless someone else said it or Liu Qianqian revealed it herself.

Of course, others think the same way, which has led to the current situation where Liu Qianqian is doing quite well.

Gao Yuanyuan didn't bring it up again, but instead reminded her, "Besides Liu Qianqian, there's also Yang Mi."

“Yang Mi? That little girl…” Fan Bingbing smiled disdainfully, intending to make a sarcastic remark, but then her expression changed as she thought of something.

“She was the last one among us, so she had to rely on Liu Qianqian from the beginning,” Gao Yuanyuan said calmly. “But, given her personality, she certainly wouldn’t be content to be subordinate to Liu Qianqian.”

"So what? Just distract him." Fan Bingbing stubbornly insisted.

Gao Yuanyuan pursed her lips, then suddenly laughed: "I know what you're unhappy about."

She touched her still-flat stomach: "After all, you went to his house during the Spring Festival, and you were only smug for a few days before he suppressed you. It's understandable that you're unhappy. Besides... he's been staying at my place for a while now."

Fan Bingbing's face turned slightly red, clearly her secret had been exposed.

"I was the one who did it first..." she gritted her teeth.

“White scholars are going to be beaten to death,” Gao Yuanyuan warned. “What White scholars?” Fan Bingbing frowned.

"I don't know, I just saw a joke in the simulation and thought it was interesting, so I used it." Gao Yuanyuan shrugged.

Fan Bingbing snorted and brought the topic back: "Don't tell me you didn't simulate the things that Gai Lili instructed Tao Hong and Jin Qiaoqiao instructed Sun Li to do."

“I even simulated the things Jin Qiaoqiao and Jiang Qinqin did,” Gao Yuanyuan smiled nonchalantly. “You have to have confidence in yourself, Bingbing.”

Fan Bingbing looked at her for a moment, then suddenly sneered: "Fine, since I can't stop you, then we'll just have to escalate the situation."

"Oh?" Gao Yuanyuan raised an eyebrow.

"I suppose he would like to have a large family," Fan Bingbing said through gritted teeth.

Coincidentally, while Gao Yuanyuan and Fan Bingbing were discussing this topic, Angela and Li Yunxin were also discussing the same topic, but in slightly different directions.

“You need to think this through. You and I are completely different. If I were to do this with him, it would just be a little more troublesome,” Angela said calmly. “But if you were to do this with him, it would be more than just a little more troublesome.”

“It’s okay, as long as you’re willing to help, I believe he will agree,” Li Yunxin said calmly.

Angela stared at her for a long time: "I really don't know where you get your confidence from."

“It’s very simple, you haven’t put yourself in the right position,” Li Yunxin shook her head gently, “You’ve always put your own interests first.”

“I bet you’re going to bring up that argument again.” Angela raised her hands in advance.

"I was just giving you a heads-up. If you don't like hearing it, I won't say it again," Li Yunxin continued, shaking her head.

“No, no, no, I hope you continue,” Angela shook her head as well. “After all, this is the only place we can hear comments and ridicule.”

Li Yunxin looked puzzled.

“I’m different from you, and from all of you. You all have parents and elders around you, especially you. Their criticisms and suggestions may not be entirely correct, but at least they make you think about them a little more seriously,” Angela replied somewhat lazily.

“I remember…” Li Yunxin paused for a moment, then tried to say something.

“My father was an agricultural worker and my mother was a full-time housewife,” Angela interrupted. “They didn’t know anything, otherwise they wouldn’t have been fooled by an agent and signed me to a modeling contract. Everything I have now was earned little by little through the system.”

She paused here, her gaze becoming dark and unfathomable: "Wall Street looks down on women, in fact, the whole of America looks down on women, but they have a special admiration for successful people. I always have to do things perfectly, and I only take action after I have mastered every detail through simulation. So for a while, I was a bit obsessive-compulsive."

"Has things improved since you came here?" Li Yunxin asked after a moment of silence.

“I’m used to being in charge of everything myself. Other people’s praise and criticism are meaningless to me because they’re completely useless.” Angela smiled. “So he always says that I put my interests first and that I value power too much.”

“At least… he never said that to my face.” Li Yunxin tried to save face for someone.

“I believe that, in fact, after I formally lodged a protest, he didn’t say much to my face,” Angela shrugged. “But I know he definitely said it countless times in his mind.”

Li Yunxin rubbed her forehead: "Let's talk about serious matters."

“Haven’t we already finished talking?” Angela smiled. “However, I really didn’t expect you to agree to this so easily.”

“Perhaps it’s because… I’ve also considered that.” Li Yunxin’s eyes flickered.

"Oh?" Angela asked, somewhat surprised. "Who are you planning to get pregnant?"
