Chapter 6

"I count as a minor producer, so I still have that much authority."

"In a few days, I'll see if I can get the script, pick out a small role suitable for you, and you can go audition."

Su Chen decisively waved his hand.

"No need to look at the script; I’m only auditioning for the male lead."

Yang Mi: ???

"Auditioning for the male lead? Are you crazy?"

"The male lead is set as Hu Ge; Director Wong is very satisfied with him."

"Besides, this drama is about 1990s Shanghai and requires fluent Shanghai dialect."

"Hu Ge happens to be a Shanghai native."

"How are you going to compete with him? Have you lost your mind?"

Su Chen said decisively: "One word: can you arrange an audition opportunity for me, Sister Mi?"

"As long as I get to audition, if I don't pass, I'll take whatever trashy films you give me in the future."

Yang Mi’s eyes lit up.

"Are you serious?"

Ever since she signed Su Chen.

Yang Mi had been pouring all her resources into promoting him.

But Su Chen had too much backbone.

He would rather play small supporting roles in good dramas.

Than play the male lead in trashy web dramas with higher pay.

Yang Mi had nearly been angered to death several times.

She clapped her hands.

"It's a deal! I’ll risk my neck to get you a chance to audition for the male lead."

"I expect Director Wong will do me a favor, let you go through the motions, and then cut you."

"Once you come back, you’ll obediently listen to my instructions."

After checking in with the producers of *Blossoms Shanghai*.

Yang Mi’s lips curled up slightly.

"It's set! In seven days, you fly to Shanghai for the audition."

"I mainly want you to see the big stage and build up your courage and experience."

"Once you get cut, you’ll obediently come back and film traffic-driven dramas with me."

Traffic-driven dramas are Jiaxing’s trump card!

The popular artists under their banner are all traffic-driven actors.

This is Yang Mi’s way of making money.

"It's time, let's have lunch together?" Yang Mi suggested.

Sister Reba hooked her arm around Su Chen’s and let out a coquettish huff.

"I really want you to carry me to the restaurant, but there are too many eyes... so annoying!"

[Ding! Sister Reba feels annoyed, points +300]

Su Chen never forgot his identity as a Cao Thief.

And to be a qualified Cao Thief.

One cannot let any opportunity to farm points slip by.

Su Chen bent down, his palms cupping Sister Reba’s soft buttocks.

He lifted her up entirely.

He walked to the door and then set her back on the ground.

Su Chen said with doting eyes: "Can't carry you to the restaurant, but carrying you to the door is fine, right?"

Sister Reba bit her lip hard, her little face flushed red.

She smiled brighter than a flower.

[Ding! Sister Reba feels sweet, points +600]

At the same time.

[Ding! Yang Mi feels a breakdown, points +400]

[Ding! Yang Mi feels envious, points +700]

[Ding! Yang Mi feels jealous, points +700]

With the system.

Any emotional fluctuation Yang Mi had.

Su Chen could receive it instantly.

This boss of his.

Seems to be unable to endure the loneliness anymore.

As a listed company with a market value of three to four billion, Jiaxing is quite large.

As the third-largest shareholder, Yang Mi.

Has an exclusive VIP room in the restaurant.

After all the dishes were served.

Yang Mi walked over and locked the door.

The three of them ate quietly.

Sister Reba grabbed a chicken leg.

She gently offered it to Su Chen’s mouth.

"Baby, eat the chicken leg! Eat whatever part you want to nourish..."

Su Chen couldn't hold it in and almost laughed out loud.

This silly, sweet sister.

What kind of magical logic is that!

"I need to nourish my legs?"

Sister Reba shook her head.

"No! The chicken leg, the point isn't the leg, but... you know."

Su Chen felt dizzy.

"Then I should eat tiger penis."

Sister Reba burst into laughter.

"That’s true, besides, you don't need nourishment at all."

"If you nourish any more, I’ll have to be rushed to the ICU."

Yang Mi had just chewed half a piece of beef and hadn't swallowed it yet.

Suddenly, it didn't taste good anymore.

There’s a living person right here!

You two are showing off your affection and making dirty jokes.

You’re practically running me over with your car.

Have some shame!

[Ding! Yang Mi feels frantic, points +800]

From the point value, one could judge the intensity of Yang Mi’s emotional fluctuation.

She must be frantic to the extreme.

Yang Mi seriously suspected that she was a redundant third wheel.

If I weren't here.

These two could turn the dining table into a "battlefield"!

Of course, Yang Mi has also had her share of romantic experiences.

She understands how couples in the throes of passion behave.

Those more wild types of couples.

They really can act as if no one else is around.

On buses, subways, trains, in shopping malls—places with massive crowds.

They kiss, hug, and grope freely, without a single care in the world.

Sister Reba checked the time.

Then she finished her meal in a hurry.

"You two go ahead and eat; I'm going to find the Chairwoman to talk to her about getting resources for Su Chen."

"After I'm done, I have to go shoot an advertisement, so I won't be back until tonight."

"Su Chen, wait for me!"

Before Sister Reba left.

She didn't forget to grab Su Chen and give him a good nibble.

It was enough to make Yang Mi’s skin crawl with annoyance!

As soon as Sister Reba left.

Yang Mi warned: "In private, it’s fine if you two stick together."

"But in public, it’s best to keep your distance. Otherwise, paparazzi or passersby will snap photos, and your relationship will be exposed."

"Sister Reba is fine; after all, she’s been in a relationship before and has long been a top-tier star."

"You are currently in your rising phase; a relationship will be a major obstacle for you."

Actors in the past relied on their skills to make a living.

But young actors today rely on harvesting their fans like leeks.

Brainless fans are very realistic.

As long as their idol stays single, it gives them room for fantasy.

They are willing to be harvested like leeks.

Once an idol starts dating, it’s considered a collapse of their image.

Their popularity and resources will plummet instantly!

Su Chen didn't want to be exposed either.

He wasn't afraid of losing fans.

He was afraid it would hinder him from becoming a better "Cao Thief."

After all, if his relationship were exposed.

Many other men's wives would take the initiative to keep their distance from him.

It was unclear if Yang Mi’s mind had been scrambled by Su Chen and Sister Reba.

She picked up her bowl to drink some porridge.

And accidentally spilled it all over herself.

Because those water balloons were so prominent.

The porridge didn't spill on the floor; it all landed on them.

Yang Mi grabbed several tissues and wiped vigorously.

Every time she wiped.

Ripples would spread across the surface.

Such capacity!

Even though Su Chen had just eaten a lot.

He was hungry again just looking at it.

After Yang Mi finished wiping, she rolled her eyes at Su Chen.

"Keep looking! Is it good to look at?"

Su Chen wondered: "Do you women all like to ask that?"

"I suppose... it’s good? I haven't seen what's inside, so I don't have a say."

Yang Mi said with a cute, fierce tone: "You still want to see what's inside! Is that something you should be looking at?"

"Is Sister Reba not enough for you to look at?"

Yang Mi is a beautiful young woman.

Not a little girl.

She is also Su Chen’s boss, maintaining a high-and-mighty stance.

So she didn't shy away from discussing this topic at all.

Instead, she made Su Chen feel shy.

Yang Mi stretched.

"I'm full. I'm going upstairs to take a shower and rest for a while before I continue working this afternoon."

"I won't keep you company for now."

The company building has a dedicated floor for resting.

As a shareholder, Yang Mi.

Has an exclusive four-bedroom, two-living-room apartment.

Whenever she’s tired at the company or working late into the night, she goes straight in to sleep.

It’s as comfortable as being at home.

Su Chen didn't stand on ceremony: "My wise and mighty boss, since you value me, your employee, so much."

"It’s only reasonable to spare a room for me to rest, right?"

Yang Mi opened her bag.

And tossed a set of keys to Su Chen.

"The room number is written on the key. When you open the door, turn right in the living room."

"At the end of the hall, there’s a spare bedroom. You can go in and rest... but don't wander around!"

Su Chen, this little puppy.

Really suited Yang Mi’s taste.

And since Sister Reba had repeatedly emphasized.

That Su Chen had an astonishing "long" point.

She was even more interested.

But for now, at least.

Yang Mi only saw Su Chen as a tool for making money.

She hadn't developed a strong desire to "devour" him yet.
