Ch 94 (Part 2): Rebirth of the Tool Man in a Pampered Protagonist Novel

On the other side,

Jin Yu, filled with a sense of injustice and unwillingness to accept reality, approaches the person in charge of the base to request access to the daily surveillance videos.

Initially, this was not allowed, but the daily surveillance was not particularly secretive. Before his granddaughter came to the base, Grandfather Jin specially came to negotiate with the professors and officials in charge of the base, requesting the help of Professor Yu and his other friends to educate his increasingly arrogant and willful granddaughter.

Therefore, Jin Yu did not face too many difficulties. After discussing with Professor Yu, the person in charge agreed to her request.

And what she saw…

Jin Yu once again experiences the harsh reality of society.

Fang Ziyang didn’t say anything wrong. People do often talk about her when she’s not around, both in the classrooms and the resting areas, and the things they say are even worse than what Fang Ziyang mentioned.

“Damn, did you hear that clearly? Jin Yu is actually secretly in love with Xie Zheng? Not only that, she openly threatened Fang Ziyang not to have the same intentions. She’s so unreasonable and has become the most domineering person I’ve ever seen!”

“I’ve heard that Jin Yu is very arrogant and willful, but she’s even worse in reality than the rumors.”

“That’s nothing. Have you seen how everyone in Group A caters to her? Whenever she makes a mistake, it’s Yang Qilong who apologizes on her behalf. The people in Group A regret being in the same group as Jin Yu now. I heard they’re afraid that Jin Yu will do something that affects everyone.”

“Really? Even though Jin Yu is arrogant, she wouldn’t cause a major incident just because of a minor dispute, would she?”

“Why not? When someone with a princess temperament like hers gets heated and loses control, there’s no limit to what they can do. And now she and Fang Ziyang are fighting over a man. Fang Ziyang isn’t one to back down from a fight either. Jin Yu always ends up losing in their arguments. Who knows what she might do one day when provoked… Anyway, let’s keep our distance and watch the show. We don’t want to get caught up in it.”

“Right, Jin Yu was injured when Fang Ziyang bumped her down the stairs. Although it seems like she’s fine on the surface, who knows what she really thinks. I don’t believe Jin Yu doesn’t suspect that Fang Ziyang pushed her on purpose…”

“Jin Yu is not an easy-tempered person. Just wait and see, Fang Ziyang’s days are definitely going to be tough. It’s going to be a good show.”

…

In the surveillance video, some of the more gossip-prone individuals gather together to discuss, leaving Jin Yu with a pale complexion.

She is aware that her personality is not likable, but she never imagined that her image in everyone’s eyes would be like this.

She’s just a little bit arrogant and domineering, so why do people perceive her as someone who might carry out vicious revenge over minor grievances?

Jin Yu is not completely clueless.

She understands the consequences of having such an image. It’s not just about being disliked by others; having such an image means that if something goes wrong within the team, she will be the first one suspected and blamed.

But Jin Yu can’t understand why it has come to this.

She really hasn’t done anything wrong. She actually gets along well with everyone, except for a few arguments with Fang Ziyang. Isn’t that a normal and common thing? Why does she appear to be such a malicious supporting character in everyone’s eyes?

Jin Yu’s ability to withstand such blows is not strong.

After watching the surveillance footage, she can’t help but burst into tears and cries in front of Professor Yu.

“Wuwu, Grandpa Yu, why do they hate me so much? I haven’t done anything, I’m usually nice to them. I even promised to introduce them to my grandfather’s research team. Why do they think I’m so malicious? Wuwu, it’s too much. They’re all a bunch of two-faced people, talking bad about me behind my back… Wuwu…”

If Fang Ziyang had said those things, she wouldn’t have been so heartbroken. After all, she argues with Fang Ziyang every day and they don’t get along. But when others say such things, it’s really too much.

She hasn’t displayed any princess-like attitude towards others. How did she end up being seen as someone who might resort to extreme and malicious revenge over the slightest disagreement?

Professor Yu is well aware of the situation within the team.

But he didn’t intervene because Jin Yu has been spoiled by her family, and if she doesn’t experience a real blow, it would be difficult for her to change her temperament.

Kindly, he pours her a glass of water and says, “If you really want to know, then go back and think about it carefully. What others tell you will never be as profound as your own thoughts. If you can let go of your preconceptions, you can carefully observe how Fang Ziyang handles things.”

“Take a closer look. Why is it that Fang Ziyang is equally arrogant and domineering, but people have a better impression of him than you? Every outcome has a corresponding reason. When you blame others, also reflect on your own behavior. Being stubborn and self-righteous will only result in your own loss. Your grandfather and parents can’t protect you in every situation…”

“I understand. I will think about it carefully. Thank you, Grandpa Yu.”

Jin Yu didn’t fully understand, but she noted it down.

The visiting time quickly comes to an end.

When Fang Ziyang returns, he clearly sees that Jin Yu’s complexion is not good, her eyes red as if she had been crying.

There’s no need to say anything; the little girl must have been deeply affected by the discussions behind her back. Jin Yu is a few years older than him, but her ability to cope is truly poor. In addition, she has a rather childish mindset, making it difficult for her to accept such a degree of emotional blow, shattering her perception of the world.

But a heavier blow is still to come; this is just a minor issue.

After observing these days, he has already guessed what Yang Qilong wants to do.

Jin Yu is probably going to encounter some trouble.

For now, he’ll let Jin Yu exercise her resilience, so that she won’t be completely unable to accept the reality of being manipulated when the time comes.

After the visit ended, Fang Ziyang continued to study the materials with everyone, waiting for Yang Qilong to make another move.

Meanwhile, Jin Yu underwent a significant change starting from that day. She became much quieter.

During the break time, Jin Yu no longer chatted and laughed with everyone as before, floating in the praise and compliments of those around her. Now, she often sits alone in a corner during breaks, either lost in thought or studying materials with a focused expression.

When people talk to her, she no longer responds with the same enthusiastic chatter as before.

She also stopped arguing with Fang Ziyang. Instead of their previous confrontations, she now approaches him with a straight face to ask for advice. She follows him eagerly when they go to the cafeteria for meals.

Occasionally, they would whisper to each other in a corner.

This surprised everyone.

However, Jin Yu had no intention of explaining, and Fang Ziyang did not clarify things with the others. The two of them acted mysteriously, and their relationship seemed to have improved overnight.

This disappointed some people who were looking forward to seeing them argue. Life became less enjoyable without Jin Yu and Fang Ziyang’s clashes.

Yang Qilong, on the other hand, became anxious.

He had intended for the two of them to become enemies and clash with each other, but instead of becoming enemies, their relationship suddenly improved. Weren’t they arguing fiercely just a while ago?

If Jin Yu and Fang Ziyang stopped arguing, how could he kick Jin Yu out of the base?

Tang Xun and Fang Ziyang were determined to stay, but the other members of Group B were still up for grabs.

As long as Jin Yu left, he could easily pull any other member of Group B down, securing his spot as an official team member…

He initially thought that dealing with Jin Yu, this foolish woman, would be easy. Who would have known it would be so difficult? She completely deviated from his script, causing more harm than good!

As Jin Yu and Fang Ziyang’s relationship grew closer by the day, things were definitely not going as planned.

Yang Qilong grew impatient, gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and couldn’t wait any longer.
