Chapter 166

Those soccer and basketball star cards

can even sell for millions of dollars each, which is simply outrageous.

With Su Chen’s current popularity and status,

even if he didn't know anything about calligraphy,

and just scribbled nonsense, there would be plenty of people willing to pay a high price to snatch it up on the market.

Su Chen picks up the brush and dips it in ink.

"This year is the Year of the Dragon, so how about I write 'Dragon and Phoenix Bring Prosperity'?"

"It's elementary school level, so please excuse my poor performance. I hope everyone won't mind."

Su Chen presses the paper with one hand,

trying his best to keep it flat.

With the other hand, he waves the brush, the strokes flowing like a dragon and a snake.

Almost without any pause,

in half a minute,

he finishes writing the four large characters in one breath.

Standard running script!

Su Chen’s brushwork is incredibly fluid.

Every stroke

is like a flowing mountain spring.

It is highly ornamental.

Furthermore, Su Chen’s characters are vigorous and powerful,

as if there were truly a dragon and a phoenix leaping off the paper.

It is definitely the work of a master!

Some calligraphy enthusiasts in the audience who know their stuff

burst into repeated exclamations.

"These characters are written too beautifully, aren't they?"

"Su Chen must have practiced since he was a child, and he must have super high talent to have this level of accomplishment."

"It's so grand and auspicious. Can this piece be sold to me? It would be really prestigious to hang it in the living room."

"I want it too!"

……

Originally, Han Han Sanye arranged this segment

just to give Su Chen a chance to show his talent

and let him steal the spotlight.

This way, Su Chen could leave a deeper impression on people,

and would also have a higher status in others' hearts.

Unexpectedly,

he had only written the first piece,

and many bigwigs on the scene wanted to snatch it up immediately.

This banquet is vaguely trending toward becoming an auction.

Facing the frantic bidding of many bigwigs,

Su Chen appears very helpless.

Bigwigs are bigwigs!

They have money and nowhere to burn it.

He spent half a minute writing a few large characters, and it could turn into an auction?

There's really no one else like them.

Once a person becomes famous and has the ability to "harvest leeks,"

then truly, no matter what they do,

there will be countless "leeks" fighting to send them money.

Of course, these bigwigs are one sharper than the next.

They are snatching up Su Chen’s calligraphy works

not just because they like them.

This is a way to win Su Chen over.

At the same time, by snatching up Su Chen’s calligraphy works,

they can promote themselves from time to time and ride on his popularity.

It’s definitely not a loss!

"1 million!"

In the crowd, a bigwig with a receding hairline speaks up.

"1.5 million!"

"2 million!"

"3 million!"

For these mere few characters,

it finally sold for a price of 3.5 million.

Su Chen seriously suspects

whether these bigwigs are using him as a tool for money laundering?

They are really willing to throw money around!

Of course, no one will turn away money.

Su Chen decisively sells the calligraphy.

Subsequently, Su Chen continues to wield his brush and splash ink.

He takes 15 minutes

to quickly finish a "Painting of Eight Horses."

Each horse is handsome and sturdy, with different expressions and movements,

radiating powerful vitality and wild strength.

It instantly stuns the entire venue.

Immediately, someone offers a price of 5 million!

"6 million!"

"8 million!"

"10 million!"

……

In the end, Su Chen’s "Painting of Eight Horses" sells for 12 million.

Originally, it was just a performance on stage,

for entertainment, just going through the motions.

As a result, 15 million is in his pocket.

The windfall that was meant to come, he couldn't avoid!

At this time, Heung Wah-keung speaks up.

"Little Su is truly multi-talented. The characters you write and the paintings you draw are at such a high level."

"How about we just turn this banquet into an auction?"

"I heard Little Su still has quite a bit of stock on hand? Why not take it all out and sell it?"

"Let everyone present bid on it."

"Copyrights for songs, copyrights or shares for TV shows and movies, everything can be auctioned."

Su Chen waved his hand.

"Let's forget about that. Those who are fated will naturally have opportunities to collaborate with me; there's no point in an auction."

"Besides, with so many seniors present, I'm just a small, transparent figure; I don't want to steal anyone's spotlight."

After speaking, Su Chen returned to his seat.

He returned to his seat under the gaze of the entire room.

Everyone was so envious of him they were practically crying.

To men, Su Chen is a money-printing machine.

To women, Su Chen is a money-printing machine combined with a pile driver.

Who wouldn't be envious!

Tang Tang Xiaowei gave a thumbs up and praised, "The boss is truly amazing!"

"You earned over 10 million so quickly? I'm envious."

Su Chen had a face full of question marks.

"Calling me boss already? We haven't even signed the contract yet!"

Tang Tang Xiaowei covered her mouth and laughed.

"I can't even wait for the contract; I'll call you boss first."

"Don't blame me for being thick-skinned! I must bite down hard on this piece of fat meat that's reached my mouth; I won't let go even if I die."

Su Chen threatened, "You call your boss fat meat? Sorry, I can't sign this contract."

………

After the banquet ended.

The big shots each took one or two female celebrities back to their rooms.

As one of the organizers.

Xiang Xiang Huaqiang arranged for several young beauties from Xiangjiang to accompany Su Chen.

In order to curry favor with Su Chen.

Zeng Zhiwei also arranged for several TVB beauties for him.

Even Cai Sibei volunteered herself.

But Su Chen rejected them all.

Su Chen does indeed like "scumming" goddesses.

But he doesn't want to go for every single one.

He only "scums" the ones he personally selects.

Inside the hotel's luxury suite.

Su Chen sat on the sofa, leisurely drinking tea.

Tang Tang Xiaowei and Lan Lan Xiaoyan sat on either side of him.

They looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.

The two of them had similarities.

Both were desperate to become famous.

They didn't hesitate to star in extremely explicit films.

Relying on this, one can indeed become famous outside the circle at the fastest speed.

But one will also become a laughingstock for the whole country.

Facing opposition from parents and ridicule from relatives.

Fame and fortune are indeed earned, but one's reputation will be foul.

Just on the eve of filming.

They met Su Chen.

He was like a savior, bursting into their lives.

It is very likely that at this critical juncture.

He will change the fate of the rest of their lives.

Therefore, their moods were very complex.

They were so nervous they didn't dare to breathe.

For the sake of fame.

They dared to film such movies!

So as long as Su Chen can give them good resources.

They will obediently cooperate with whatever he asks them to do.

Sleep together?

No problem.

Play cards?

Consider it arranged!

That's not enough; they want to play all sorts of tricks.

Including "cunning rabbit with three burrows," unlocking all entrances?

No problem either!

There is a saying: The happiness of the rich is beyond your imagination.

It is indeed so.

When a person possesses immense wealth, power, and resources.

Those who need something from them.

Will truly do whatever they are asked to do, obediently.

That is just too happy.

They didn't know if Su Chen wanted to sleep with them first and then give the resources.

Or give the resources first and then sleep with them.

After waiting anxiously for a long time, they still didn't hear him speak.

Tang Tang Xiaowei finally couldn't hold back.

"Boss, what should we do?"

This "boss" almost made Su Chen spit out his tea.

It had that "club hostess" vibe!

"The script! I said I would sign you to my new company as artists and give you scripts."

"Sister Tang, your script is a historical drama called 'Ming Dynasty'."

"It should be quite popular. You film this drama first; I have even bigger movie resources for you later."

Su Chen sent the extracted script to Tang Tang Xiaowei.

And warned, "This script must never be leaked."

Tang Tang Xiaowei giggled, "Don't worry. You gave me such a good script and made me the lead."

"Would I possibly leak it?"

"That would be like lifting a rock only to drop it on my own feet!"

"What about me? Boss, what about me?"

Lan Lan Xiaoyan bit her pink lips, trembling with excitement.

Heaven rewards the diligent.

Heaven did not let her down.

All these years of hard work.

Is this heaven-sent wealth finally about to descend upon her?

Su Chen smiled wickedly, "The script I'm giving you is a movie, called something like 'Pu' something..."

Lan Lan Xiaoyan nodded in a daze.

"Okay, something 'Pu'..."
