Aside from this, if there's anything else I can help you with, just say the word.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen Nuo, can we stop talking here? Let's go somewhere else. I'll treat you to a meal, and we can talk while we eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh, no need for the meal, I have plans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo said, \"I know you want to get into the film academy, and I’m the same. But I really don't have any special relationship with Li Jing. You shouldn't keep pinning your hopes on me. Prepare well; I think you can do it. I have a dinner appointment, bye.\" Having said that, he didn't wait for Ma Yanran to respond and walked away directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Yanran stood where she was, watching Chen Nuo's retreating back, her expression very ugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told you, it’s useless to look for him,\" a boy walked over, sporting a center-parted hairstyle, narrow eyes, and long brows, speaking with a thick Beijing accent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Yanran looked at him: \"What, are you happy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…You can get in on your own, why bother begging him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Yanran gave a charming smile, then said coldly, \"Pan Yue, I’ll say this one more time: stay out of my business from now on!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, she shoved him aside and walked straight away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pan Yue stood in place, gazing in the direction Chen Nuo had left, his face turning from green to white, his eyes filled with both resentment and jealousy. Finally, he spat on the ground and left as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo didn't know what happened after he left; he was rushing to a nearby steakhouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really did have an appointment to eat with someone today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he entered the door, a colorful person in the corner stood up and waved at him: \"Over here~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why call him colorful? Because every one of his fingernails was painted a different color. When he waved, it looked like a rainbow dancing in the air. He was about twenty-something, quite handsome, with spiky short hair dyed a pale gold, looking very eye-catching. At the very least, Chen Nuo saw people in at least five surrounding seats all turn their heads in unison to look at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo still remembered when they first met, this flamboyant beauty said with great pride: \"Ten fingers, ten colors. Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, plus pink, brown, and black. It took me quite a lot of effort to buy all the nail polishes. Tell me, isn't it good-looking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, Chen Nuo felt this person's fashion sense had some common ground with his own, so he signed a contract with him and made him his agent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Er had always had strong opinions about this decision of Chen Nuo's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you so slow? I've been waiting for ages.\" As soon as Chen Nuo sat down, he heard the other party complain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo took off his coat while saying, \"Li Jing asked to see me about something, so I was delayed for a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man paused for a moment and said, \"What did she want to talk to you about this time? Did she tell you to terminate our contract again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo shook his head and said, \"No, don't worry, it was about the exam.\" The man breathed a sigh of relief: \"Hey, if you ask me, you should just quit school. What's the point of that crappy place? Let's just go take roles and make money; why waste four years of your youth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo flipped through the menu without looking up and said, \"If you have the guts, go say that to your mother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong with my mom? I say the same thing even when she's around. I just flipped through her phone, and she's been nagging me non-stop for days. My head is killing me. Ouch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right, this colorful rainbow youth was none other than Li Er's only son—or daughter, either works—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surname Qi, given name Yuntian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Er had sent him abroad to study since he was a child, and he had worked abroad after graduating from university. It wasn't until last year, when Li Er's father—that is, Qi Yuntian's grandfather—fell ill, that Li Er demanded he quit his job abroad and return to the country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, once Qi Yuntian returned, he discovered that with his current maverick appearance, he was truly struggling to move an inch; he couldn't even find work. But no matter what Li Er said, Qi Yuntian refused to change, so he ended up stuck at home, living off his parents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, when Li Er was on the phone at home asking Chen Nuo about an agent, Qi Yuntian overheard it by accident, got interested, and secretly found Chen Nuo's number in Li Er's phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't keep me in suspense, what did they say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yuntian took a contract out of the bag beside him and said triumphantly: \"In the bag, fifty-eight thousand, after tax!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo let out an \"ah\" and said, \"How did you manage to negotiate that extra eight thousand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yuntian handed him the contract and said with a grin: \"Four words: pestering them to death. Anyway, my time isn't worth anything, so I just wore them down. There’s air conditioning, handsome guys, and free tea to drink, what was I in a rush for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Qi Yuntian had gone as an agent to sign Chen Nuo's performance contract at that Mr. Liu's production company. The two had discussed beforehand to ask for eighty thousand, with a psychological floor of fifty thousand, and a hard minimum of no less than thirty thousand. He hadn't expected Qi Yuntian to negotiate fifty-eight thousand, eight thousand more than their psychological target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo looked at the contract while saying, \"If it were me, I'd have a bunch of beauties surround you to see if you'd leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yuntian chuckled: \"Luckily, not everyone is as bad as you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have to join the crew for training on January 5th? That soon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, it's a musical, so they need you to practice dancing. I also told them you'd be preparing for the college entrance exam after the New Year. They said your scenes were already scheduled for the beginning, so they'll finish filming your parts before the New Year. I calculated it; if everything goes smoothly, you only need to go for a month. Fifty-eight thousand, not bad at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Chen Nuo's surprised expression, Qi Yuntian smiled and said, \"Don't be so shocked, your character doesn't have many scenes, so of course it'll film quickly. By the way, do you know where your scenes are being filmed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shanghai. Wow, let me tell you, I love going to Shanghai to eat good food; there's way more than in Jingcheng...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Calm down, let's order first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So I already ordered. Two 388-yuan tomahawk steaks. Split the bill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1222,"2026-06-21T01:34:38.888Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","1f906bea4865d553d75b57149b1adffc07f399c0ac09c52bd0a8cc182b174a89","reborn-in-huayu-they-re-forcing-me-to-be-a-jerk--chapter-23","reborn-in-huayu-they-re-forcing-me-to-be-a-jerk--chapter-21",491,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-huayu-they-re-forcing-me-to-be-a-jerk--cover.jpg"]
