    Chapter 17

    In the next few days, Sui Si never showed up in the hospital again.

    When Yu Tangren was in the special care ward, he learned from the W&P employee who had been accompanying him that Sui Si could not appear, not just because he was banned from the hospital to aggravate his condition and stimulate him.

    In the past few days, a large number of studio employees have resigned and changed jobs, which has forced Sui Si to the point where he has no time to take care of himself.

    "Well done, it would be strange if anyone doesn't."

    The W&P employee helped Yu Tang walk, and when he said this, his tone was very pleasant: "It's not that we outsiders have prejudices... In a place like that, without Mr. Yu, why would you stay?"

    For the studio, Sui Si is not a good boss at all.

    It’s not that his personal ability is insufficient. Of course Sui Si’s professional skills are no problem, but he is too arrogant and high-spirited. Let alone making connections in the circle, as long as he can avoid inexplicable relationships with people, everyone in the studio will have to deal with him.In the Yellow Calendar, Amitabha is recited.

    When Yu Tang was around, if there were any conflicts or frictions, it was up to him to handle them.People are willing to sell Yu Teshu's face without much fuss, and sometimes Yu Tang is forced to sell himself and work for others for a few days in vain.

    If Yu Tang had time to settle all aspects and leave peacefully, the studio might not be in such serious turmoil.But now that Yu Tang left the studio due to illness, he was fired by the studio on his own initiative and only received a cold dismissal notice.

    Some of the people who are leaving now are out of frustration, and some are because they already have a new employer and are only staying here for Yu Tang's sake.More people don’t say it, but they all know one thing in their hearts.

    When Yu Tang was here, all parties tried to fix the leaks, which really covered up too many problems.

    The departure of a large number of core employees is just the beginning of the studio's overall collapse.

    "Don't talk about this anymore, it will make Mr. Yu unhappy."

    The person next to him said: "Anyway, Mr. Yu is free now. I take this opportunity to take a rest and take good care of my body."

    He looked at Yu Tang and changed the topic with a smile: "Many people have come to visit Mr. Yu in the past two days, and they also brought many gifts and congratulatory messages... The doctor detained them all, saying that Mr. Yu is not allowed to touch any mess now.s things."

    Another employee also remembered and nodded quickly: "Yes, don't tell them, just tell them to have a headache themselves."

    They didn't like Sui Si's studio, but they knew more or less how much Yu Tang put into it, and they didn't want it to affect Yu Tang's mood.

    The speaker supported Yu Tang, stopped and asked slowly: "Mr. Yu, are you tired? Do you want to rest for a while?"

    He patiently repeated it three times without changing a word. Yu Tang finally reacted slowly, his eyes moved, and he turned his head slightly following the sound.

    "There are benches over there, Mr. Yu."

    The figure supporting him was very kind. He was not angry because of his slowness, nor did he get angry and reprimand and urge him because he was too sick to do anything.

    The figure held Yu Tang's arm, like a friend who Yu Tang had dreamed of many times, who had normal interactions and lives, put his arm on Yu Tang's shoulder, and patted him twice.

    "The weather is nice today and there is nothing to do."

    The figure spoke in a light tone and discussed with him with a smile: "We will help you cover. Do you want to go back later and bask in the sun for a while?"

    "System." Yu Tang put his hands flat on his legs and sat on a bench, basking in the sun for ten minutes without moving. "When can I change my position?"

    The system has been replenishing its psychology knowledge in the past two days, flipping through books: "It will take about three to five days to relieve the acute phase. After that, you can start to receive psychological counseling and gradually return to normal life..."

    "Isn't it possible to turn over?" Yu Tang worried, "The left side of my face is almost half a shade darker than the right side."

    The system's little red light flashed, so he went back to the system mall and bought him ten bubble gums in exchange for a small can of sunscreen spray.

    The re-evaluation of the characters has ended. Their OOC threshold has been directly adjusted from 10 to 75, and there is an ununlocked gray area behind it.

    Yu Tang speculated that this area may be generated through logical deduction, and the final part can be unlocked if the plot is correct.

    No matter how you say it, it is an unexpected surprise to get so many OOC exemptions.

    On Ke Ming's birthday, Sui Si insisted on giving him the bouquet of flowers.If he had the 75% immunity at that time, he could not only give flowers to the little girl he didn't know on the roadside, but also write a report to drink away his sorrows and find an all-night bar to get high all night.

    "……Host."

    The system often has worries about its host that go beyond the plot: "Yutang's body can't bear it."

    "I know." Yu Tang felt a little regretful, "I just thought about it."

    Chuan Bookstore is professional and the Supervision Department is very responsible. The re-evaluation will focus on every aspect of the character design in detail.

    During the twenty-four hours when Yu Tang handed over control of his body and allowed himself to be completely controlled by logical operations, three pages of problems with the body's health were exposed, which even shocked the system.

    The hospital happened to conduct a comprehensive physical examination on Yu Tang at this time, and the results were sent to W&P headquarters. Darren went directly to the hospital in person.

    He brought the interior decoration designers affiliated to the consortium and cooperated with professional rehabilitation therapists. According to Yu Tang's physical condition and mental state, he made repeated revisions and customized a set of interior decoration plans that are most suitable for home office and recuperation.

    "Host, why does W&P give you such good treatment?"

    In fact, the system has always wanted to ask: "Are all their big consortiums so considerate to their employees?"

    "No." Yu Tang thought for a while, "It should be because I solved two serious public relations crises for them."

    This plot actually happened after the character was handed over to the system for hosting.

    During this period of time when he was trapped in his body and could not move around, Yu Tang was idle. He simply called up the plot videos of the past two years and checked them back and forth several times.

    In order to obtain promotion cooperation for Sui Si, Yu Tang worked for W&P for more than half a year.

    According to the traditional plot, it was just that Yu Tang often went to various departments of W&P to help run errands and order lunches. No matter how coldly he was treated, he smiled and helped kindly. Finally, he impressed the partner with his sincerity and got the job.Opportunities for collaboration.

    But before leaving, when he was writing the basic data for hosting operations, Yu Tang couldn't help it. He felt itchy and added something to the settings.

    "...You added ability cards?" The system understood, "Extraordinary talent? Unparalleled talent?"

    Yu Tang was embarrassed: "Oh my God, this person is so awesome."

    system:"……"

    "This card hasn't been launched yet," Yu Tang said. "They said the name didn't sound like it was from the same series and asked me to change it."

    Yu Tang couldn't figure it out: "Aren't they all people with the prefix Tian?"

    The system flashed the red light, and I went back to the discount mall and bought a copy of "Students' Practical Chinese Idioms Dictionary".

    Yu Tang actually felt sleepy when he saw this. He was too embarrassed to let down the system, so he took it and stuffed it quietly under the inventory.

    … When he first started practicing, Yu Tang was young after all and didn’t know how to restrain himself.

    There were at least three or four books in which Yu Tang conveniently inserted this kind of personal information into the characters.It wasn't until the data fluctuation attracted the attention of Chuan Bookstore's senior management that he was contacted by the technical department and given permission to develop a capability card.

    After having fun, Yu Tang finally put down his butcher knife and became a Buddha immediately, and stopped messing around with those tools.

    But for a character like this that he modified, although he usually follows the plot step by step, when encountering trigger points such as "a business war with swords and shadows" and "a crisis of life and death", the ability card will be automatically triggered.

    Like Yutang, when he was helping W&P's marketing department order box lunches, he overheard an anxious employee mentioning that one of W&P's sub-brands had been attacked by a rival and was deeply involved in public opinion. The stock price had dropped by 10 points.

    Under the influence of the ability card, Yu Tang privately contacted the director of the marketing department and spent a week helping to solve the problem, bringing the stock price back to the highest value in that sub-department in a year.

    For this kind of old consortium with incredibly strong capital, the biggest headache is actually the collision and integration with modern society.W&P has never looked at their background when selecting talents. When encountering Yu Tang's bizarre setting, which is like a sweeping monk at the entrance of a Shaolin Temple, it would be strange not to be moved.

    "The preset skill cards are still a bit rigid."

    Yu Tang looked back at the plot carefully, and he still had some unfinished thoughts: "If I did it myself, I would probably gain another 10 points of popularity..."

    The system is pragmatic: "If you do it yourself, you will be banned by the Supervision Department."

    Yu Tang: "..."

    "But now we have an OOC immunity cap of 75."

    Yu Tang: "Today is the third day of treatment. From tomorrow on, psychological counseling will be involved. After psychological counseling is completed, I can go to the specially customized home office and recuperation villa."

    The system flashed a small red light for a long time, and he was convinced and gave the host's avatar twenty likes.

    Yu Tang was quite satisfied, so he handed back the control of his body and turned on the logical deduction state.

    These days, even if he wanted to, he couldn't give any unconventional response to Yu Tang's situation. On the contrary, it was more convenient to use the automatic hosting mode.

    Yu Tang asked the system to look at it for help. He returned to the sea of ​​consciousness and opened W&P's financial statements for the past two years.

    They had been outside the ward for more than half an hour, and the warm sunlight had almost faded away. The sky was slowly getting dark, and there was a faint chill in the wind.

    The W&P employee responsible for taking care of Yu Tang was very attentive and carefully supported Yu Tang, helped him put on his coat, and helped him sit back in the wheelchair.

    Yu Tang's muscle tension has dropped a lot, and his body is no longer so stiff.Although he still didn't speak and didn't have much expression, he had a basic response to stimulation and slowly began to resume eating on his own.

    He has been living in the special care ward for the past few days. He doesn't need to be on edge forever, and he doesn't need to be busy all the time. He is being taken care of carefully, and his complexion is actually much better than when he was in the studio before.

    "When Mr. Yu gets better, he will go to the department with us to socialize."

    The employee who was arranging his clothes knelt down, held Yu Tang's hanging arms, and covered his legs with a small blanket: "We wanted to invite you last time when we gave out a bonus, but it's a pity that you don't have time."

    Yu Tang moved slightly and his eyelashes trembled slightly.

    He still cannot successfully understand many complete conversations, but he can understand individual words and sometimes responds weakly.

    Such progress is already very optimistic. According to the doctor's estimate, as long as the right method of psychological counseling is found, it will only take a week to half a month at the fastest for Yu Tang to basically recover and return to a normal rhythm of life and work.

    As for taking more precautions and being wary of recurrence in the future, we can only focus on the environment.

    "Do you want to go?" The employee patted his chest and promised, "I will definitely ask you to go out next time."

    Yu Tang was sitting in a wheelchair. He spent a lot of effort and finally blinked his eyes hard and very slowly.

    The employee laughed, held Yu Tang's hand, and gave him a high five.

    When Yutang first went to W&P's subordinate departments, the employees all knew him.There are many people like this who come to the headquarters to sharpen the iron rod, but not many are as persistent and sincere as Yu Tang. After coming and going, many people actually like him.

    Later, Yu Tang took action and helped W&P's sub-departments turn the corner and saved the year-end bonuses of countless people.

    To these friendly kindnesses are added heartfelt gratitude, admiration and adoration.

    They, the employees, discussed in private, and still can't figure out why someone as powerful as Mr. Yu is willing to be overqualified and underused in a small studio. How come the actor doesn't know how to cherish him at all.

    After a long period of high-intensity work, Yu Tang's body was on the verge of collapse. It might not be a bad thing to be able to rest peacefully after an illness like this.

    When Yu Tang came back, the professional psychological counselor Darren had found was already waiting in the ward.

    His energy was still weak. Following the guidance and instructions of the psychological counselor, he stood up little by little, walked back to the bed and sat down. He took the spoon and slowly ate a small cup of custard.

    "Would you like some porridge?" the consultant asked, watching his reaction attentively. "There is also porridge. It's hot. Do you want to drink it?"

    Yu Tang's eyelashes trembled.

    His eyes seemed to be foggy again, and the light they had before faded away. There was no expression on his face, and his movements became slower and slower. The hand holding the spoon stopped at the edge of the bowl.

    He held the spoonful of custard in his mouth and did not swallow it any further.

    The staff on the side frowned. They knew the seriousness and did not dare to disturb. They quietly asked the doctor on the side: "Is it necessary?"

    The employee whispered: "Mr. Yu obviously doesn't like this..."

    The doctor held the recorder and watched Yu Tang's reaction intently. He waved his hand and said nothing.

    The consultant didn't seem to notice Yu Tang's abnormality. He walked to the bedside, asked Yu Tang to spit out the spoonful of custard, rinsed his mouth with water, and showed Yu Tang some photos.

    The counselor sat beside the bed and asked Yu Tang to look at the photos one by one and continued to talk to him slowly.

    The conversation with almost no response lasted for more than ten minutes. When the consultant tried to mention the studio, Yu Tang finally slowly lowered his head.

    He was very quiet. No matter what others said, he never responded. He just looked at the corner, as if there was a world worth watching all day.

    The counselor held his arm, raised it, and released it after a while.

    Yu Tang's hand didn't have any strength at all, and he fell down, hitting the protective gear beside him with a "snap".

    The employee responsible for taking care of him was so anxious that his face changed. However, he knew that this was a treatment process and did not dare to disturb him. He anxiously looked back and forth between the people in the room and Nie Chi who was waiting outside.

    "No more." The consultant leaned over and asked softly, "Okay?"

    Yu Tang didn't move.

    He didn't seem to have any reaction, he was so pale and quiet that he couldn't even see his breathing, but the mist under his eyelashes was getting thicker and thicker.

    After a few seconds, the water vapor finally couldn't be held back anymore and suddenly overflowed.

    The consultant supported him and asked him to lie down with his back to the bed in a curled up position. He took the quilt to cover him tightly and closed the curtains.

    Yu Tang curled up in a small world built up.

    He couldn't move, and tears flowed out silently and turbulently.

    The counselor straightened up, motioned for the professional escort to stay behind, and gestured toward the door.

    "System, system."

    As soon as Yu Tang finished reading the financial statements, he switched back to body control and was startled by his own tears: "Help me read it, I can't stop."

    "It can't stop, host." The system flashed a small red light, "You have to cry for another ten minutes."

    Yu Tang: "..."

    Yu Tang: “Will I become dehydrated?”

    "Water accounts for about 60% of an adult's body weight." The system checked for him. "Relatively speaking, men have higher water content than women..."

    "I know." Yu Tang said, "I'm asking, can I be strong enough not to cry?"

    "No, host."

    The system asked for him and was a little embarrassed: "This item is not exempt from OOC, but you have regained some mobility now, and you can bite your quilt firmly while crying."

    "..." Yu Tang pulled open the system and went to the mall to buy a short-term skill card from Tingqiang.

    The psychological counselor will ask him these questions to test Yu Tang's reaction, which is nothing more than to determine the direction of subsequent psychological counseling.

    The most common way to treat stupor is electroconvulsive therapy, but Yu Tang’s situation is special and it is impossible to use this method.

    If you want to achieve the best treatment effect, you can only use special solutions.

    Yu Tang put his body in the hands of the system and cried. He concentrated on listening to the corner of the room with skill cards for ten minutes and returned to the sea of consciousness.

    "Host!" The system was repairing the crying screen. When it noticed his return, it quickly flashed the red light and approached: "Is there any result? What method are they going to use?"

    Yu Tang nodded: "Yes."

    The system was waiting nervously: "What can I do? They won't be able to call the host, will they?"

    "No." Yu Tang pulled out the OOC exemption bar, "I know what the unlocked gray area behind it is."

    I have to say that this psychological counselor is indeed very professional, and the ideas he puts forward are clear and effective, and are also very simple and easy to implement.

    The system asked: "What is it?"

    Yu Tang: "They decided to use psychological suggestion to make me forget about Sui Si first."

    system:"?"

    "Psychological suggestion, a method of psychological treatment."

    Yu Tang explained to it: "It induces me to form new memories while diluting the previous memories. Although it is not permanently effective, with the right technique and no irritating factors, it can last for a long time..."

    "But we... after all, we still have to work together to become the protagonist CP."

    The system interrupted him hesitantly: "The ending we want to create is for the protagonists, Gong Shou, to go through all the troubles, achieve success, and get married to each other."

    "Only the host can solve the dilemma of their careers and lives." The system is very worried, "What if the host forgets them all and affects the final outcome?"

    Yu Tang asked: "Does it stipulate that the dilemma between career and life must be solved?"

    The system was stunned for a moment: "What?"

    "Get married." Yu Tang took out the wedding vows and recited them, "No matter whether the other party is poor or rich, sick or healthy, beautiful or discolored, successful or frustrated, we are willing to be together forever."

    "The only thing we want to achieve is the last sentence."

    Yu Tang: "Let them be together."

    system:"……"

    Yu Tang has never thought about exploring this direction before. He has even considered the development of the plot after Yu Tang recovers and is discharged from the hospital and joins W&P.

    Sui Si's situation will only get worse. There are still several mines buried in Ke Ming's side. If any one of them detonates, Xingtu may be destroyed.If one day, Sui Si uses his past friendship to ask him to go back and help him, will his OOC value exceed 75% if he refuses?

    But today, the psychological counselor helped him open up a new direction with a different approach to treatment.

    "You think, even if they were poor, sick, disgraced, and frustrated," Yu Tang said, "they still went through all the troubles, achieved success, and lived together happily."

    Yu Tang asked: "Is it more touching?"

    The system made no sound, it had been circumvented by Yu Tang's logic, and the screen was filled with helpless little snowflakes.

    Yu Tang checked Chuan Bookstore's employee guidelines one last time, made up his mind, and patted the system: "It's even more touching."

    The system flashed a small red light.

    Yu Tang pressed the restart button on the system. He gathered his thoughts, took over Hui Yutang's body, and blinked away the last tears slowly and thoroughly.

    He has decided to receive treatment. Not only will he accept it, he will cooperate with it and quickly return to his normal life rhythm.

    Yu Tang will return to a completely normal life.

    The next time Sui Si came to see him... Yu Tang no longer recognized him.

    This is so exciting.
