Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Ding

[Su Jiu: Thank you.]

Chuzheng saw those two words and replied back with a ‘you’re welcome’ to him with her face devoid of expression.

[…]Although the system did not know how Su Jiu would feel after receiving Chuzheng’s message, it felt that it was not very wise of her.

At this moment, she should console him and chat with him. This way, wouldn’t they get closer faster? Wouldn’t she get friendzoned faster too?

Yet, she just said ‘you’re welcome’? Even if Su Jiu really wanted to talk to Chuzheng, he wouldn’t know what to say anymore, wouldn’t he?

‘Is she serious?’

‘Is she serious?!’

‘How could Little miss do such a crazy and despicable thing?!’

‘This Little miss is a monster! She is too scary!’

The system was too tired and wanted to change a Little miss. It must have a chat with the neighboring system on why it had such a Little miss.

It needed a healing type of Little miss. For example, the neighboring system’s Little miss!

Chuzheng stayed at home for a couple of months. After the production team was done with the editing, they invited Chuzheng to publicize the drama, however, she heartlessly rejected them.

Publicity events were so troublesome. There was no way that she was going.

The production team could not do anything about it and felt lucky that she was the second female lead and not the main female lead.

For entertainment purposes, the production team could only postpone all publicity photos or events to a later date to create suspense.

[Main mission: Little miss, please participate in the Star Challenge reality program.]

Chuzheng: ” ‘Very good, it’s time to spend money again.’

The Star Challenge was a very popular reality show and the program mainly involved testing a celebrity’s adaptability.

For example, surviving in a jungle or poor environment, etc.

The netizens called it the Star’s Torture reality show.

The program did not fake any of its contents and precisely because it was very real, it had very high ratings. Even if some celebrities initially did not want to participate, upon looking at its high viewership ratings, they could only grit their teeth and participate in it.

As such, this program could not be attended by just anybody.

Chuzheng contacted the production team, but they expressed that they were not short of money.

Chuzheng:

‘You can’t blame me for that! They are not in need of money. Since they are not in need of money, this means that Bastard, you have slipped up!’

[Little miss, you are not putting in enough money. Tell them that you will sponsor the next two seasons.]King gave Chuzheng an idea.

Chuzheng:

Chuzheng relayed the message to the production team and they hesitated for a while before quickly agreeing to her.

Chuzheng: ” ‘They are so not reserved! They get bribed so easily! A bunch of good-for-nothing bums!’

[Little miss, see, I have told you before that with money, you can do anything.]King was very conceited.

‘King will teach you how to live as a human!’

‘Hahaha!’

Chuzheng blocked King.

‘What a nuisance.’

‘Rich people can’t win over fighters!’

‘She’s not wrong!’

“The Star’s Challenge”production team was still in the process of choosing the participating celebrities. When they told Chuzheng about the filming schedule, the timeslots of”The Allure of the Phoenix Princess”had been set.

Chuzheng drove herself to the meeting with the production team.

The reality show would invite eight artistes every episode and the allocation of teams would be allocated according to that episode’s venue.

When Chuzheng arrived, two to three of the other artistes had already arrived.

“There’s another one.”

“Who? Who is it?” Some of them straightened their neck in curiosity as they did not who would be participating in the show.

The artiste’s appearance would also be recorded on television. Hence, the moment Chuzheng parked her car, the cameramen immediately surrounded her car.

The car door opened and a lady wearing light-colored casual wear got out of the car. She closed the car door in a cool swift action and it was as if she had brought her own special effect, it looked very cool.

“I don’t know her…”

“Do you know her?”

“No…” The three artistes did not know her. “Is she a new actor? She looks quite pretty.”

The production team would occasionally invite new actors as the audience could get tired of familiar faces. Sometimes, a newly debuted artiste could excite the audience, regardless of whether it would spark a debate or not.

Chuzheng followed the guide and went to the table to take her file holder.

It was not until the cameraman had left that someone came in to introduce her.

However, even after the introduction, the other artistes still did not recognize her.

The three artistes at the scene were already popular. Although Chuzheng had not seen them before, she had heard of them before. She gave a simple greeting.

The three people saw that Chuzheng did not wish to interact with them further and walked to another corner to continue chatting.

“Who is she? What a proud person.” One of the artistes were not very happy with her attitude.

After all, they were her seniors. Normally, whenever new actors saw their seniors, even if they did not cotton up to them, they would still at least respect them.

“I have asked the director just now and she came here because she is a sponsor.”

“Are you sure?”

“The director did not say it explicitly, but he did have that meaning. Although this program is very fair, the participants…”

The three of them met eyes with one another, showing that they understood the situation.

After all, the production team’s money did not drop from the car either.

After that, a few other artistes came and after some introductions, they quickly held their own little chatting session.

However, it could be seen they were a team.

Chuzheng sat alone under the awning. She propped her chin and looked at the bunch of people with a cold gaze.

Another car came and Chuzheng raised her eyes to look at it. She did not expect to see a familiar figure, Liu Manman.

Liu Manman probably did not guess that Chuzheng would appear as well and her face darkened, but she quickly returned to normal.

‘Isn’t it just a Gu Chuzheng?’

‘What’s there to be scared of!’

“Why is there another one whom we don’t know?”

“Isn’t there a little too many new actors appearing in this episode?”

Some artistes complained as they had put in great effort to appear on the show and yet, new artistes appeared on the show one by one.

Liu Manman directly ignored Chuzheng and sweet-talked the other artists. They seemed satisfied with Liu Manman’s attitude and immediately, fewer people criticized her.

The last two artistes arrived at the filming set at the same time.

The car door opened and a formally dressed man got out of the car. With the sunlight shining down on him, he looked like a prince who had just come out of his castle—elegant and prestigious.

“Wah! It’s Movie King Xie Zhou!”

All the female artistes immediately cheered upon seeing him.

Chuzheng finally knew why Liu Manman was here. Xie Zhou was Liu Manman’s financial backer.

Xie Zhou was rich and handsome. His acting was even more superb as every single acting work of his was a legend.

However, he had a little too many girlfriends. He changed girlfriends as though he was changing clothes. However, even so, he was still the dream lover of many people.

Moreover, Xie Zhou was not only an artiste, but he also came from a powerful and wealthy family. Liu Manman’s current management company should be Huang Fei Entertainment which was under Xie Zhou’s name.

Liu Manman’s gaze towards Xie Zhou was gentle yet had a hint of pride.

However, Xie Zhou did not pay attention to her in public.

“I have never thought that we could participate in the same variety show as Movie King Xie. I am so happy now.”

“Hey, we are still handsome people, after all. Why do your eyes only have Movie King Xie?” joked the male artistes.

Xie Zhou was too popular and naturally would not lower himself to chat with this bunch of people. He only gave a faint greeting.

Yet, his attitude attracted the fondness of many.

Chuzheng was a little unhappy.

‘Why should her coldness be treated as if she didn’t know her place and was being impolite?’

‘Just cause he was handsome?’

‘Superficial!’

‘Childish!’
