My System Forces Me to Live off Women-Chapter 240 - 215: The General and the Heroine

Wu Wenyue not only deleted the document with two thousand words that Xu Manning wrote, but also took away five books. Li Peifeng felt that this was really excessive, so Wu deserved the scratches she got!

If it were him, and his two-thousand-word draft was deleted by Wu Wenyue, Li Peifeng would surely beat her up with a stick. But Xu Manning also made a mistake by biting her later on.

Li Peifeng and Wu Wenyue discussed the matter while climbing the Great Wall. He learned that the two women had become like strangers over this incident and hadn't spoken a word all morning. He thought it was time for him to step in and mediate, otherwise, if their conflict escalated again, it would be detrimental to him, too.

...

"You want me to apologize? No way!!!"

The voice on the phone was so loud that it almost spread within a two-meter radius from the cell phone. Fortunately, Li Peifeng was standing in a corner. The others were busy setting up equipment in the distance, and Wu Wenyue was changing clothes in the watchtower, so no third party heard the conversation.

"It's not about apologizing, just softening your words a bit. After all, you hit Wenyue like that, maybe lower your attitude a little," Li Peifeng gently advised, "This way, everyone can back down. After all, you only lost two thousand words, and you remember the content. It won't take you a morning to type it again. But Wenyue suffered real injuries, and those wounds won't heal in a month or two."

"Shut up!" Xu Manning was furious, "You asked me to write the PPT, and she unreasonably grabbed the computer and deleted it. Instead of blaming her, you're blaming me? Do you have a conscience? You dog!"

Who knew you'd actually write it?

Li Peifeng held back a laugh and cleared his throat, "Indeed, Wenyue was very wrong. What time do you get off work today? I'll go home and give her a thorough lecture."

"Seven o'clock."

Xu Manning snorted, "I want to see how you'll educate her."

"I'll educate her until you're satisfied, okay? But honestly, you hit Wenyue too hard, scratching and biting."

"I gave her medicine this morning!!" Xu Manning interrupted, "I specially went to the pharmacy to buy it, then delivered it to the studio. But she was unappreciative, what can I do?"

"Alright, alright, calm down. We'll talk it over after you get off work."

"You... Someone will add you on WeChat later, asking for the IDs of both you and Wenyue. Both of you need to give it to him."

"What's he up to?"

"To transfer the car under your names, a company share change needs to be processed. I've found someone to handle it for you, so you don't need to be there, but you have to give him your IDs and sign a paper."

Li Peifeng felt something, realizing that Xu Manning might be covertly trying to make peace with Wu Wenyue, but since the car was already given previously, the sincerity seemed lacking.

"The compensation for emotional damage and medical expenses is a bit lacking."

Xu Manning replied irritably, "Then what do you suggest I do?"

Li Peifeng sighed, "Let's discuss it when you return after work."

Mr. Li felt quite disappointed; it seemed Xu Manning didn't read any of the books he gifted her, and the two-thousand-word PPT was written for nothing. Otherwise, Miss Xu wouldn't have beaten Wu Wenyue like that or been clueless about how to resolve the conflict!

"Brother Feng, it's starting!"

Once the call ended, everyone at the studio was ready to shoot, calling him over.

"Coming."

Li Peifeng stepped forward, and Wu Wenyue, with Mu An'an's help, finished changing clothes and doing her makeup, walked out of the watchtower, just in time to bump into him.

Currently, Wu Wenyue was dressed in Ming Dynasty armor, her hair tied in a ponytail, flowing behind her; draped in golden fish-scale heavy armor with dragon patterns on each side of her chest; a golden beast-faced belt cinching her waist; holding a helmet in her left hand and a sword in the right; wearing golden cloud-patterned battle boots, her overall appearance was magnificently armored, with intricate and grand patterns, making her look imposing and majestic, exuding an air of authority without anger.

A perfect depiction of 'I can adorn myself with flowers in the mirror, and also wear iron armor that gleams coldly.' A female general indeed.

"How do I look?"

Wu Wenyue raised an eyebrow and asked.

Mr. Li immediately recited a poem, "The brocade of Shu was cut to form the armor, on horseback by the peach blossoms, I pledge... Subordinate Li Peifeng, pays respects to the Mighty General!"

After speaking, he cupped his fist and slightly bowed in salute, Wu Wenyue smiled and waved her hand, "Rise."

Li Peifeng stopped joking and asked with concern, "Is it heavy? Tiring?"

Wu Wenyue's face fell, "Twenty-three pounds from head to toe, hurry up and shoot!"

Li Peifeng nodded, "Alright, let's make it quick."

To match Wu Wenyue, he had also changed his clothes, into a black and red flying fish robe, but instead of a sword or embroidered spring knife, he held a guitar...

"Alright, everyone get in position, the two actors, stand according to the rehearsal positions!"

"Where's the mic?"

"Where's the small microphone? Pin it on Brother Feng's collar, and don't forget the guitar's mic!"

Tang Yan and Mu An'an were coordinating, and others were busy, making the Great Wall feel a bit like a movie set.

Wu Wenyue stood in the middle of the passage, while Li Peifeng leaned against the wall with his body, striking a pose with his guitar.

The studio rarely did on-location shoots, but according to the plan, they were filming enough material for three videos on the Great Wall. During this, Wu Wenyue had to change clothes at least four times: two sets of ancient martial arts costumes, rented from a photo studio, one of which was the armor she wore now, the other being a black martial arts female outfit.

The other two outfits were from the [True Self] collection, which were modern styles but also leaning towards ancient styles - coats and capes, serving as a prelude for the launch of [True Self] later.

Even though Wu Wenyue was very angry with Xu Manning, she knew how to separate work from personal life.
