Chapter 121

Her eyes lit up instantly.

"Brilliant!"

"Not only can we use that 20 million in salary for something more useful!"

"But now, the lead actor's acting skills won't be an issue either!"

"I’d always felt that Lu Yi couldn't hold his own against those veteran actors, but I just didn't have any other options."

"Now, everything is resolved!"

"I’m actually looking forward to seeing him play two roles at once. Let me know when you're filming that scene; I’ll go to the set to see just how confident this Mr. Mu really is!"

"As for the other things Mr. Mu mentioned, as long as it’s good for the production, do exactly as he says!"

After hanging up the phone.

Li Lu let out a long sigh of relief.

Now that everything was prepared, they could start filming.

At the same time, he also called Lu Yi to break the news tactfully.

He used excuses like the production team being completely out of money and unable to afford him.

Lu Yi had already lowered his salary once.

Hearing this, he couldn't be bothered to act anymore.

It just so happened that other directors had been approaching him recently, offering prices far higher than 20 million.

He quit the production very readily!!!

Later in life, when Lu Yi recalled his biggest regret, it was quitting the cast of *In the Name of the People*.

He had missed out on a great role.

But he had paved the way for someone else's legend.

After hanging up on Li Lu.

Mu Chen soon received a call from Da Da Mimi.

As soon as she picked up.

She spoke in a slightly angry, babyish tone.

"Mu Chen, you jerk!"

"Do you even remember that I’m your boss?"

"Signing a zero-salary drama on your own is one thing, but you invested in it too???"

"Aren't you afraid of losing everything?"

Imagining Da Da Mimi’s expression, the corners of Mu Chen’s mouth curled up slightly.

He teased:

"If I lose money, isn't that exactly what you want?"

"You..."

"How could I think that!"

Da Da Mimi said, sounding a bit aggrieved.

"Alright, it’s fine, trust me!"

"Trust your head!"

Despite saying that, Da Da Mimi calmed down.

The truth was, she hadn't called to talk about this.

She had long known that Mu Chen was beyond her control; she just needed an excuse to call him.

At this moment, she hummed lightly:

"I don't care!"

"You made me lose out on a lot of money again!"

"You have to compensate me!"

"Next time, I’m going to make you rub my legs, and my feet too!"

Mu Chen joked:

"Trying to stink me to death?"

Da Da Mimi instantly jumped up.

"You're dead!"

"They don't stink, okay!"

"Then wash up nicely and wait for me next time!"

"Fine! That’s more like it!"

After hanging up.

Seeing Jin Chen looking resentful beside him, Mu Chen rubbed his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed.

He had forgotten to step away when answering the call.

Jin Chen pinched Mu Chen lightly and said:

"You big jerk, don't you know how to be discreet when answering calls from other women?"

Mu Chen coughed lightly.

"What’s there to be discreet about?"

"My heart is sunny, I’m open and aboveboard!"

"Open and aboveboard my head, is 'rubbing feet and legs' and 'washing up nicely' open and aboveboard???"

Jin Chen rolled her eyes, looking at Mu Chen with puffed-up cheeks.

Mu Chen immediately leaned into Jin Chen’s ear and said:

"I’ll rub yours when we get back, okay?"

Jin Chen’s ear tickled.

Ripples instantly spread through her heart, and she said fiercely:

"You better rub them well!"

"I will!"

That evening, Mu Chen witnessed Jin Chen’s incredibly graceful dance.

Dressed in thin gauze, Jin Chen danced like a fairy.

From time to time, she lifted her jade-like legs.

Slender and fair.

As white as jade in the moonlight!

Intertwining with the starry night to form the most beautiful picture.

Mu Chen immediately pulled Jin Chen into his arms for a dance.

He did, after all, possess advanced dance skills.

Although he felt he was still inferior to Jin Chen, it was enough to make her jaw drop!

The look she gave Mu Chen was filled with even more admiration.

This man was simply too perfect!

Of course, as the price for Mu Chen daring to flirt with Da Da Mimi right in front of her.

Mu Chen spent the whole night as a laborer.

Acting as both an ox and a horse.

Originally, Jin Chen had quite a few calluses on her feet from dancing.

But every day, Mu Chen would prepare a perfectly proportioned milk soak to nourish her.

Making her feet become incredibly fair...

Her entire body became more and more beautiful.

Almost every day, she was on the path to becoming even more stunning.

The entire production crew was left clicking their tongues in amazement.

The entire film crew was left clicking their tongues in amazement.

And the women on the crew grew increasingly envious.

Even Li Li Yitong’s heart was constantly being impacted.

After a few days had passed.

Li Li Yitong could no longer compare to Jin Chen at all.

Whether it was her looks, skin, or figure, she was completely crushed.

Li Li Yitong finally couldn't help but call Jin Chen into the lounge.

Seeing and feeling Jin Chen’s curvaceous figure for herself.

Li Li Yitong’s mouth hung wide open.

It was almost big enough to swallow a python.

Her expression was one of uncontrollable shock.

"This is too magical!"

"It’s even more exaggerated than a second puberty!"

"That’s right!"

Jin Chen deliberately bounced around, causing Li Li Yitong to roll her eyes.

This woman was simply too hateful.

You have to know, that used to be her own strong suit!

Looking at Li Li Yitong’s expression.

Jin Chen felt incredibly happy inside.

Let this best friend who used to show off all the time see who was more 'wow' now.

Thinking this, Jin Chen stretched out her feet, wearing transparent high-heeled sandals, for Li Li Yitong to see:

"Look, what I’m happiest about is that my feet have become so pretty!"

Li Li Yitong looked at Jin Chen’s feet.

They were incredibly fair and tender, painted with a light purple nail polish.

They could practically be used for a foot mask advertisement.

The first two words that came to Li Li Yitong’s mind were—Jade Feet!!!

You have to know, both of them were dance majors!!!

Everyone knows what feet look like after practicing dance.

It was absolutely impossible for them to look better than anyone else’s.

Li Li Yitong’s biggest insecurity was her own feet.

Now, seeing Jin Chen’s feet, she was almost going crazy with envy.

"I..."

"So annoying!"

"You’re so lucky!"

After being resentful for a long time.

In the end, Li Li Yitong could only spit out these words!

Jin Chen smiled and pulled her feet back.

Suddenly, not knowing what she was thinking, she spoke up:

"I’m leaving tomorrow!"

"My manager has already urged me several times!"

"I’m leaving that big jerk for you to take care of!"

"Remember to keep an eye on him!"

Finally, Jin Chen looked at Li Li Yitong’s expression and said pointedly:

"Some opportunities need to be seized!"

"If you don't seize them, others will be lining up to take them!"

As she said this, Jin Chen pursed her lips toward the outside.

She knew what kind of person Mu Chen was.

He dared to flirt with Da Da Mimi right in front of her.

Let alone when she was gone; he definitely wouldn't be keeping himself chaste like she did.

And then there were all those women outside.

They had been dressing up so flashily these past few days, and their eyes were practically glued to Mu Chen.

If she hadn't been by Mu Chen’s side.

They probably would have already thrown themselves at him.

Rather than letting those vixens have him.

It would be better to let her own sister have him.

Li Li Yitong’s expression was no longer as resistant as before.

But, thinking about how Mu Chen scolded her every time they acted these past few days.

She said with a bitter face:

"You know as well as I do that that big jerk targets me every day!"

"He’s practically a tyrant; I’m about to have a breakdown from his scolding!"

Jin Chen took Li Li Yitong’s hand.

Comforting her:

"Don't be silly, if he were really targeting you, he would have kicked you out of the production!"

"Would he still be teaching you how to act every day???"

"You don't know, a few days ago he invested in another drama and kicked Lu Yi out just because his 20 million salary was too high!"

Li Li Yitong was instantly shaken by the news from Jin Chen.

She immediately felt the more ruthless side of Mu Chen as an investor.

Compared to being scolded a few times for her acting, that was much worse.

Jin Chen continued:

"And don't you feel like your acting has improved a lot these past few days?"

"Do you want to keep being criticized for your acting?"

"Alright, I won't say any more!"

"If that big jerk weren't such a scumbag, I wouldn't even be telling you this!"

After finishing, Jin Chen walked toward the outside.

Leaving Li Li Yitong sitting inside in a daze.

For a moment.

Her mood became a mix of complex emotions.

Her acting had indeed improved recently.

But did she really want to follow Jin Chen’s advice?

So shameful!!!

But!

She looked down at her feet.

Then looked at her figure, which she used to like, and instantly felt it paled in comparison to Jin Chen’s.

Strange thoughts gradually began to rise in her heart.

She wasn't stealing her best friend’s man.

She was just doing it to become more beautiful.

She was just doing it to improve her acting.

Yes, that was it.

And Little Little Chenchen wouldn't mind, right!

But, how does one go about doing such a thing???

Thinking about this complex problem.
