Chapter 217 The Stepping Stone of the Writers of the Republic of China 2
Bai Shiqiao relied on his status as the boss and often ordered the original owner around, not only asking her to help organize manuscripts, but also to take on the burden of his housework.
Even Bai's mother mistakenly believed she was a servant hired by her son, forcing her to do even trivial tasks like emptying the chamber pot. Whenever the original owner complained, Bai Shiqiao would use mental control to suppress her, claiming it was training her.
Because at that time, the monthly salary of the top performer in the dance hall was only five yuan, and as a high school student, Su Lan was very satisfied with a salary of two yuan. Despite the hard work, she still maintained an optimistic and positive attitude towards life.
However, Bai Shiqiao could not tolerate her happiness. When Su Lan began to think about writing, Bai Shiqiao immediately attacked her. He bound Su Lan with the ancient concept of the Three Obediences and Four Virtues and belittled her works as worthless, saying they were like a pile of dog shit.
"Look at what you wrote, it's pure rubbish! A woman doesn't stay at home to take care of her husband and children, but instead runs out to do business. Aren't you afraid of being despised by her in-laws?" Bai Shiqiao said viciously.
"And here, what you wrote about equality and new fashion styles is completely misleading and there is no way it should be published in the newspaper." He belittled mercilessly.
"But sir, don't you support progressive thinking? I have read your articles and novels, and you have used your pen as a force to encourage..." the girl said, looking at him cautiously.
"Shut up!" Bai Shiqiao's face darkened, and he tore up her manuscript. "If I say what you wrote is bullshit, it's bullshit. Don't misinterpret my article. You don't deserve it."
Bai Shiqiao knew that those excellent articles were not written by him. Whenever someone mentioned these articles, he would feel guilty.
But it was precisely because of this act of plagiarizing others' works and claiming them as his own that Shiraishi Bridge became a highly regarded writer. Money poured in, and he was surrounded by beautiful women. But deep down, Shiraishi Bridge did not want anyone to mention this, because he knew full well that none of this was truly the result of his talent.
The original owner was too naive. She firmly believed that since Mr. Bai, a highly admired writer, had expressed such opinions, it meant that there was something wrong with her article. So, she carefully revised it several times and showed the revised manuscript to Bai Shiqiao.
At this time, Bai Shiqiao received a notice to attend an important literary seminar. However, the task given by the system was extremely difficult, requiring him to capture the Marshal's daughter in a short period of time.
Faced with this dilemma, Bai Shiqiao felt helpless and struggled to find inspiration. Just when he was in trouble, Su Lan's article appeared before him like a lifeline. Bai Shiqiao had an idea: to take the article for himself.
So, Bai Shiqiao found the original owner and expressed his wish to keep the article for further revision and improvement. The original owner did not realize Bai Shiqiao's true intention and agreed to his request without hesitation.
Thanks to Su Lan's articles, Bai Shiqiao was praised by contemporary scholars at a literary conference, and thus successfully attracted the attention of the Marshal's daughter, who sent him a love letter.
After all, a talented man deserves a beautiful woman. Qianjin agreed with the views in Bai Shiqiao's article and wanted to get to know this promising young man.
Bai Shiqiao saw the opportunity and immediately abandoned his girlfriend Lin Pianyue at school and frequently interacted with the Marshal's daughter.
But Lin Pianyue didn't know that Bai Shiqiao had climbed up the social ladder, but she misunderstood that the original owner seduced Bai Shiqiao, which led to their breakup.
An enraged Lin Pianyue decided to take revenge on the original owner. She hired a group of people and went to the original owner's school to cause trouble. They held up banners covered with insulting words such as "mistress".
After learning about this, the original owner felt deeply wronged and helpless. She tried her best to explain the truth to everyone, prove her innocence, and expressed her willingness to resign immediately.
However, Bai Shiqiao was worried that once Su Lan's article was published in the newspaper, she might come and expose his true face.
So Bai Shiqiao simply broke the jar and admitted their relationship in front of Lin Pianyue, and deliberately slandered Su Lan, saying that she was willing to be lowly and took the initiative to climb into his bed. These words pierced Lin Pianyue's heart like a knife, and completely enraged the woman who once loved him deeply.
Finally, in the presence of all the teachers and students, Lin Pianyue, losing her mind, took a pen and stabbed the original owner in the neck, causing her to bleed to death. The original owner slowly closed her eyes in resentment and pain.
Bai Shiqiao took immediate action, quickly called the police, and sent the crazy ex-girlfriend to the police station. At the same time, fortunately, a kind-hearted person passing by sent Su Lan's body back to the Su family.
However, when Su's mother, who was lying extremely weak on the hospital bed, heard the news of her daughter's murder, she was heartbroken and died without a breath.
Surprisingly, the entire case had nothing to do with Bai Shiqiao. Some readers even glorified him: "Mr. Bai is so talented that he caused two women to fight for him. How can he be blamed for this?"
This view makes people sigh that most intellectuals are unfaithful!
Since becoming the Marshal's son-in-law, Shiraishi's life has become increasingly prosperous. However, he still persists in his habit of plagiarizing every three days, establishing himself as a true literary giant. This move not only solidifies his reputation but also successfully injects sufficient energy into his literary system.
However, plagiarism has an obvious disadvantage: the original author may notice the similarities between Shiraishi's handwriting and theirs. To prevent this from happening, Shiraishi began to use various means to frame those writers who had not yet become famous, even going so far as to take their lives.
Three years have passed, and the only three words left in the literary world of Huaguo are Baishiqiao, and the flourishing situation of the previous life is gone.
Although the literary world was in chaos, Shiraishi and his system believed this was the ideal outcome. After all, no one could challenge his position, and he could continue to plagiarize without any worries.
Meanwhile, Japanese spies who had been lurking in the Flower Kingdom for years learned of Shiraishi's lustful nature, so they sent many beautiful women to approach Shiraishi and promised him that if he conquered the Flower Kingdom, he would be crowned emperor.
For Bai Shiqiao, this was undoubtedly a very tempting proposal. Faced with the dual temptations of power and desire, Bai Shiqiao agreed without hesitation and helped the undercover to steal the Marshal's defense map, allowing them to successfully capture City M as a stronghold.
Of course, their promises were nothing but false promises. After occupying the city, they sent him to the underworld without hesitation. The moment Bai Shiqiao died, the Wenhao System quickly detached and began searching for a new host. It didn't want to waste energy saving him.
It was this small change that triggered a huge chain reaction. The Flower Kingdom fell into an endless war, and the death of the male protagonist accelerated the collapse of the small world.
In the end, this small world completely collapsed and attracted the attention of the Quick Travel Bureau.
However, the way of heaven in this world has not yet been awakened. This is why the Wenhao system was able to bring Bai Shiqiao here.
After layers of screening in the quick-travel bureau, they found that the original owner's role was the most consistent with the client, so they assigned the task to the cannon fodder group, and finally it was taken over by Tuanzi.
After Su Lan received the memory, her heart was filled with anger and hatred. She wanted to rush into the small world immediately and tear the traitor into pieces.
"Host, don't be angry, don't be angry," Tuanzi said anxiously, holding the Beiming fan in his hand and fanning Su Lan desperately.
"What was the original owner's wish?" Su Lan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
"She hopes to protect her mother and her works, while also bravely facing difficulties and continuing to write. In addition, she also hopes to completely get rid of the scourge of Shiraishi Bridge and live a free and happy life." Tuanzi read seriously while looking at the system panel.
"Oh, host, there is another important task here: capture the Wenhao system and bring it back to the Quick Transmigration Bureau. You can get 50 points for completing the task!"
"What? This broken system is actually a regular system for the quick-travel game?" Su Lan asked in surprise, his eyes full of confusion.
