Did you kiss her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shut the hell up,” Qi Hao rolled his eyes and continued: “She said there’s a rumor in the industry that if you’re linked to me, you’ll easily become famous—basically, I’ve got ‘good fortune for women,’ something like that. Have you ever heard this rumor before?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft…” Lao Tian spat out his drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good fortune for men?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hahaha, oh my god, that’s hilarious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ao Bai, bite him!” Qi Hao angrily ordered the cat to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ao Bai glanced at them and stayed curled up on his mat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao couldn’t help laughing too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This isn’t really a big deal. Some people who’ve been linked to you did become famous, but many others vanished into obscurity—this rumor has zero scientific basis.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After laughing, Lao Tian shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Qi Hao really had this power, he wouldn’t need to slog through films—he could just spread gossip with female stars every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d be the ultimate “prince charming.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What matters isn’t whether it’s true, but whether people believe it—it’s inherently superstitious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao frowned, thinking of his miserable fate and feeling his life had become bizarrely colorful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether old or young, beautiful or ugly, everyone wanted to stir up gossip with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would seriously mess with his chances of finding a girlfriend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What girlfriend could tolerate her boyfriend cheating constantly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even stepping out to buy a bubble tea, you’d run into half a dozen of your rumored girlfriends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s the point of dating? Just break up already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think it has pros and cons—it’s not really a PR crisis.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lao Tian had spent years handling Qi Hao’s gossip issues; he was long used to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this rumor, it’d just mean more gossip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the bright side, the rumor doesn’t claim that any male or female star who’s linked to Qi Hao becomes famous quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lao Tian, I want to tell you something…” Qi Hao dropped the “good fortune for women” topic and decided to focus on the task first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go ahead, say it fast—I’m going to sleep,” Lao Tian said, though he wasn’t as calm as he appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their studio was about to launch, and they needed to hire staff across all areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Qi Hao’s “good fortune for women” rumor grew worse, the studio would have to pour massive resources into PR and marketing—or they’d never clean up Qi Hao’s mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The advantage of an agency is proper resource allocation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast, a personal studio inevitably wastes human resources unless it partners with an agency through some form of “affiliation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want to hire a new agent…” Qi Hao decided to speak bluntly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?” Lao Tian didn’t understand at first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You already have an agent—why look for a new one?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You already have one—you can’t have two agents—so how do you find a “new” one?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he quickly realized it and leapt off the sofa, trembling finger pointed at Qi Hao:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You bastard, Qi Hao, you’re a ruthless one—you’ve been hiding this deeper than anyone!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anger, trembling, cold—this was his state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he weren’t attached to Ao Bai and hadn’t yet sorted out custody, he’d already bolt out the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop, stop, stop—what the hell are you talking about?” Qi Hao rubbed his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought Lao Tian was clearly mentally unwell—he never let anyone finish speaking before jumping into a tantrum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re firing me? Fine, I’ve slaved away raising you up…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get lost!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now that you’ve grown wings, you want to ditch me—don’t you think you’ve got serious moral problems?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lao Tian began straining to think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tomorrow, he’d go to the media and expose Qi Hao’s dirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like how he’s not the aloof godlike idol fans imagine—he’s actually a fool who loves to roast people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That didn’t seem damaging enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What else was more explosive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, why couldn’t he remember anything? Was there really nothing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was all his own fault—he’d protected Qi Hao too well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once the studio is set up, you won’t have time to be my agent every day—you’ll need to hire someone new.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao saw this as the only way to complete the task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breaking up with Lao Tian was impossible—they’d been through too much together, and he was already used to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm… maybe that makes sense…” Lao Tian’s voice trailed off, but he quickly regained his indignation and shouted: “Why the hell couldn’t you just say it all at once?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you give me a chance?” Qi Hao wasn’t intimidated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miao!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we ever really part ways,” Lao Tian emphasized, “I mean, if—then I’m taking Ao Bai.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why? Ao Bai is my cat!” Qi Hao laughed in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d never met such a brain-dead idiot—when fired, he wasn’t thinking about “N+1” or “2N,” he was plotting to steal his boss’s cat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve been feeding Ao Bai, taking him for vaccines, giving him deworming, buying his cat food and canned food…” Lao Tian had ample grounds to claim custody of Ao Bai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, you’re the one who took him for his neutering.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao took perverse pleasure in it; judging by this alone, Ao Bai had always sneered at Old Tian, and it was no surprise he wouldn’t follow Old Tian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike me—I only feel sorry for the kitty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Tian carried Ao Bai back inside to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao also returned to begin tonight’s training session with Li Lianjie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Choosing Li Lianjie as the third option was primarily to train for action scenes, and the works selected were mainly those with intense fight sequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dramatic scenes were not required.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, the showdown in *Fist of Legend* against world lightweight boxing champion Zhou Bili is one of the most iconic moments in action film history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system would assist Qi Hao’s movements; otherwise, he had no chance at all of sparring with Li Lianjie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the wise-looking “Li Lianjie” before him, Qi Hao couldn’t help but ask two questions:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is Li Zhi really that good, that you’d abandon your family and children?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is your foundation really for charity?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the training NPC couldn’t answer such questions—he only smiled and said, “You can ask him face-to-face. I think he’ll surely come up with some excuse. And as your training NPC, I think you should show me a bit of respect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please, Master Li, give me plenty of guidance—but the focus is training me. Can you please not hit me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are no shortcuts in action training—only hardship and risk. Effort and reward are directly proportional.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The NPC spread his fingers, then clenched them into a fist and charged at Qi Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, Qi Hao…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Got beaten badly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because in Li Lianjie’s films, even when he gets punched around early on, he always turns the tide in the end, smashing the villains into howling submission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Qi Hao played the villain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, over the years, those who had sparred with Li Lianjie were mostly masters from every school and sect; while taking beatings, Qi Hao gained a great deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt he could now star in an action film.\u003C\u002Fp>",1683,"2026-06-20T03:01:22.774Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","7d89ae42dbd6f6124f8d433ec3561ca9a82238a26dbcd8bf0c53f4a81dd8b62b","i-became-a-movie-star-and-only-then-did-the-syst-chapter-15","i-became-a-movie-star-and-only-then-did-the-syst-chapter-13",343,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-became-a-movie-star-and-only-then-did-the-syst-cover.jpg"]
