At this moment.
After all the female leads finished reading the diary, they heard a voice beside their ears at the same time.
[Qin Luo has completed today’s diary. Beginning to draw the diary copy reward.]
[Since this is Qin Luo’s first time activating the diary, you are rewarded with 1 special reward: Ageless Beauty.]
[Ding. The draw begins. The draw has ended. The winner is…]
The voice stopped. Across the world, the many female leads were all stunned. They had never expected this diary copy to come with such a reward. In that instant, they suddenly felt their bodies fill with vitality. One after another, they walked to their mirrors and carefully studied their faces. The longer they looked, the happier they became.
As for who had won the draw or what the reward was, they no longer cared at all. To a woman, was there anything more precious than ageless beauty?
Although this was not immortality, being able to maintain one’s most beautiful appearance until the end of one’s lifespan was already the gift a woman wanted most.
……
Min Qian sat on the sofa and listened to the voice beside her ear. [Congratulations. You have obtained a reward: Money +. Additional reward obtained: Women’s Combat Arts (Proficient).]
She froze. Other than the special reward, she had also won the system’s lucky draw. She was the winner.
A stack of cash suddenly appeared on the table. At the same time, in some mysterious way, she seemed to have mastered a kind of combat technique. Her body’s flexibility became shockingly exaggerated, allowing her to perform all kinds of excellent postures.
This left Min Qian somewhat helpless. Her usual job was only as a private assistant, sorting through documents. She was an urban white-collar worker. Moreover, she had a gentle personality and could not even argue with others. Her only hobby was watching dramas, like an ordinary little woman.
Even more helplessly, the burden on her body was so heavy. How was she supposed to fight like this?
Unexpectedly, the system had just happened to reward her with a combat technique. However, after thinking about it carefully, this was not bad either. In the future, she would have the strength to protect Qingxue. She could also defend herself, and perhaps even beat up the Dragon King Ye Beichen fiercely.
……
Qin Luo slept until noon before finally getting up. Although he was registered under the Security Department of Song Group, as Song Yunyi’s bodyguard, his working hours were actually quite relaxed. He did not need to clock in every day like the other security guards in the group. As long as Song Yunyi called him when he wanted to go out, Qin Luo only had to follow him then.
For a rich playboy like Song Yunyi, his sleeping hours would only be later than Qin Luo’s. He would absolutely never wake up early in the morning. Every one of them was a night owl.
So even though Qin Luo had transmigrated into the original novel, his personal time was still extremely abundant. As long as he appeared in time when the novel plot needed him and grasped the direction of the protagonist, the villain, and the others, his mission would be considered complete. As for what he did in private, it would not interfere with the overall plot at all.
Besides, Ye Beichen was powerful and carried destiny on his side. Strictly speaking, there were only a handful of enemies in this world who could threaten Ye Beichen.
Perhaps Qin Luo did not need to do anything at all. He could simply watch the plot finish on its own, just like yesterday’s Tang family birthday banquet. He had watched Ye Beichen crush Song Yunyi, and the plot had completed smoothly.
During that entire time, Qin Luo had done absolutely nothing.
This world was, after all, a novel world. Although the characters were all real, in Qin Luo’s eyes, everything that happened seemed to unfold according to the plot.
For example, last night, Qin Luo had counted down in his heart and said, “Protagonist, come out.”
Then Ye Beichen had jumped out.
Immediately afterward, Qin Luo had said, “The female lead introduces Ye Beichen’s identity as her bodyguard.”
And Lin Qingxue had truly followed the script, introducing Ye Beichen’s identity to everyone from the Tang family.
So when it came to following the plot, he held the script. Wasn’t that ridiculously simple?
After Qin Luo got up, he ran to the empty space downstairs and practiced boxing for a while. Only after sweating all over did he return to his dormitory and take a shower. At that moment, he received a call from the company’s front desk, saying that CEO Song Hongyan wanted to see him.
“Why does Song Hongyan want to see me? There doesn’t seem to be this part in the plot. Isn’t the next part supposed to be following Song Yunyi as he continues confessing to Lin Qingxue, only to get slapped in the face by Ye Beichen?” Qin Luo put down his phone and muttered in confusion.
This was the first time a plot different from the original novel had appeared, leaving Qin Luo rather surprised.
Could this be the abnormality in the novel plot?
Qin Luo asked in his mind, “System, why is this happening?”
The system answered, “Unknown.”
Qin Luo was puzzled. Song Hongyan was the company’s CEO. Why exactly had she called him over?
He could not figure it out no matter how he thought.
The system did not give him an explanation either.
However, Qin Luo did not think too much about it.
He took the notebook out of his space and began writing in the diary. The system had restricted the diary so that it had to contain matters related to the novel plot. He could not just write nonsense. To avoid forgetting things, Qin Luo usually recorded whatever came to mind first.
[Strange. Why does Song Hongyan suddenly want to see me? This doesn’t fit the plot.]
[This is a plot that never appeared in the original novel. Why exactly is this happening? Maybe she wants to meet company staff, and that’s why I was called in.
[However, in the original novel, the author described her far too well. Her popularity was extremely high, and she belonged to the type of woman many readers most wanted the protagonist to conquer. I’m also rather curious, so I’ll go over and see what she looks like.]
[Song Hongyan should be a fiery, passionate, and charming woman.]
[Now that I’ve said that, I’m actually starting to look forward to it. Unfortunately, she’s only a puppet on strings. I’ll write the diary up to here first. As for my thoughts afterward, I’ll record them after I meet Song Hongyan.]
After Qin Luo finished writing a few paragraphs, he closed the diary. Once it lay still for three seconds, the diary returned to the small space.
He dressed neatly, combed his hair back, and looked at himself in the mirror. Seeing that he looked dignified and impressive, he finally went out.
At this moment, as Qin Luo wrote in the diary, the many female leads also received prompts one after another. They impatiently took out their diary copies and began reading.
At Qingcheng Group, Lin Qingxue opened the diary copy. Now, she could finally confirm that this diary copy was serialized. As long as Qin Luo wrote something on his side, the diary copy in her hand would update at the same time.
“Hm? Song Hongyan suddenly wants to see him. What is going on?”
When Lin Qingxue saw the words in the diary, she first fell into thought. Then she immediately connected it to the diary copy and suddenly understood. “It must be because of the diary copy. It seems I’m not the only one who has this diary. Song Hongyan saw it too.”
“She moves so fast. She only got the diary copy last night, and on the very next day, she directly arranged to meet Qin Luo, this transmigrator. As expected of Song Hongyan.”
Lin Qingxue first praised her softly, then her expression turned serious. The business world was like a battlefield. As business queens, both she and Song Hongyan had swift and decisive styles. In this matter, the two of them seemed to be playing chess across an invisible board, crossing blades from afar. The only difference was that Lin Qingxue had lost the initiative.
“What does Qin Luo mean by puppet on strings? Does that mean that in his eyes, all of us are controlled puppets? Still, saying it that way isn’t exactly wrong.”
Lin Qingxue sank into thought. If she did not have the diary copy, perhaps she really would have followed the diary’s arrangements all the way forward, just like a puppet.
But now, things were different.
Song Hongyan taking the initiative to find Qin Luo was already a change. Qin Luo simply did not know it yet.
Perhaps once he met Song Hongyan, he really would be shocked.
Afterward, Lin Qingxue continued reading the diary. When she saw Qin Luo’s words filled with expectation, she immediately spat, “Bah. This lustful man. Be careful not to get played to death by that woman Song Hongyan.”
“After you meet Song Hongyan, I’d like to see how you evaluate her. If you dare say Song Hongyan is prettier than me, I’ll beat you to death the same way I beat the big white bear.”
Lin Qingxue snorted coldly and closed the diary copy.
