Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 1813: Chapter 1813: Rising Star (15)

Liu Chunhua was in a fog: ”No...”

President Sun roared, ”No what? You’re still arguing? Weren’t you the one who arranged the drinking party?”

After yelling, President Sun immediately sucked up to Chuzheng: ”Miss Qin, how to handle Liu Chunhua is up to you. I absolutely won’t cover for her!”

The girl sitting behind the desk lazily propped her chin up, her exquisite features filled with coldness.

Liu Chunhua still hasn’t figured out the situation.

What has Qin Chuzheng done?

Why is President Sun acting like this?

The company’s scale isn’t big; President Sun is their boss. Because of President Sun’s wide network, he’s been able to find some resources and gradually make a name.

Liu Chunhua is a relative of President Sun and has always helped him find those girls chasing a dream of stardom, using their looks to exploit their value for the company’s revenue.

Even until she left holding her things, Liu Chunhua hadn’t figured out what happened.

Today she was clearly waiting for Chuzheng to come by, intending to threaten her with a contract... Why did she end up getting kicked out of the company instead?

Liu Chunhua turned her head to look at President Sun, who was also being kicked out...

Why was the company president kicked out too!

President Sun clutched his waist, his face was ashen.

”President Sun...”

President Sun glanced at her, snorted coldly, waved to stop a car, and left directly.

He and Liu Chunhua are not the same; the company is no longer his, but he has money.

Liu Chunhua watched President Sun leave with a truly ugly expression on her face. Just what happened!!

On another side, Fu Xingchen took on a new film and joined the cast.

”Nian Yue, Fu Xingchen’s scene is about to start, call Fu Xingchen over.”

”Okay.” Nian Yue agreed and hurried to the makeup room to call Fu Xingchen.

Fu Xingchen was currently filming an urban drama where he plays the male lead, with the whole drama depicting the growth of the protagonist, putting his acting skills to the test.

”Xing Chen.” Nian Yue knocked on the door and entered: ”We’re about to start filming.”

Fu Xingchen was dressed in an ordinary T-shirt, still styled like a college student, youthful and handsome, accentuating that sun-kissed charm.

Nian Yue’s eyes reflected Fu Xingchen’s image, her face slightly reddened.

”Let’s go.”

Fu Xingchen came out of the makeup room, passed by Nian Yue, and casually patted her on the head.

Nian Yue’s face turned even redder, lowered her head, and followed Fu Xingchen.

-

This scene is where Fu Xingchen has his first encounter with the company’s superior after a job interview.

The actress playing the superior has a significant role, considered the third female lead, but this actress hadn’t appeared until filming began today.

Fu Xingchen walked over and saw someone standing next to the director—tall, dressed in a white shirt, black skirt below, the skirt’s length just right.

Casually standing there, presenting a clean and neat silhouette.

Even before filming began, Fu Xingchen seemed to see a commanding professional woman.

”Xingchen.”

The director waved at Fu Xingchen.

Fu Xingchen quickly pulled his gaze back and walked over.

Nian Yue began to feel that the silhouette looked familiar even before getting closer. As she approached, the person slowly turned, and upon seeing the face, her expression instantly changed.

Why is it her!

Why is she in this cast, playing such an important role?

Nian Yue didn’t have time to hide her panic and shock, but fortunately, everyone’s attention wasn’t on her as a mere assistant, so no one noticed.

Fu Xingchen saw the person’s face clearly, and his eyebrows furrowed instantly.

”Xing Chen, this is Chuzheng playing Liang Muyun. You haven’t met her, have you?” The director introduced to Fu Xingchen.

Fu Xingchen: ”...”

They’ve more than just met.

Thinking about the previous incident, an indescribable sense of weirdness filled Fu Xingchen’s mind.

Chuzheng only glanced at Fu Xingchen for a moment before shifting her gaze to Nian Yue. After such a big incident last time, Nian Yue hasn’t parted ways with Fu Xingchen and is still following him...

Tsk.

Impressive.

Nian Yue met Chuzheng’s gaze, suddenly felt guilty, and hid behind Fu Xingchen.

For some reason, she felt that the current Qin Chuzheng seemed different from before... something about her felt off.

”Hello.”

With the director present, Fu Xingchen pretended not to know her and extended his hand in greeting.

Chuzheng’s eyelashes slightly drooped, her gaze circling briefly on his suspended hand, coldly said, ”Mr. Fu, we’ve met before, haven’t we? Why pretend not to know? Besides, our relationship isn’t good enough to shake hands, right?”

Fu Xingchen: ”???”

Saying that in front of the director?

Who do you think you are...?

The director merely glanced at him and Chuzheng, not expressing much.

”Xing Chen and Chuzheng know each other.” The director remarked, ”Then I won’t need to introduce; you can get acquainted first, and we’ll start shortly.”

Fu Xingchen: ”...”

The director instructed them briefly and turned to leave, soon leaving just the few of them here.

”Why are you in this cast?” Fu Xingchen frowned, his gaze full of displeasure towards Chuzheng.

”Why shouldn’t I be?” Chuzheng countered, ”This cast is yours?”

Fu Xingchen: ”...”

Fu Xingchen doesn’t know much about Chuzheng, but knows she previously took roles with very few lines.

The role of Liang Muyun has a considerable part and requires excellent acting skills; how did she land it?

Fu Xingchen said sternly, ”I hope my scene partners are professional, Miss Qin. I hope you won’t cause me too many NGs.”

Chuzheng thought for a moment and sincerely suggested, ”How about I replace you instead?”

Fu Xingchen: ”??”

Replace him?

Is she joking?

Chuzheng stood calmly, her facial expression serious, not at all like she was joking, as if replacing him was indeed possible.

Fu Xingchen found the thought ludicrous.

Could she have that kind of influence and still be stuck as an extra... But then how do you explain the bracelet?

Fu Xingchen didn’t get the chance to reply before the director shouted with a megaphone: ”Xing Chen, Chuzheng, get ready.”

Chuzheng didn’t dwell on the matter, directly heading to prepare.

-

This scene involves the protagonist getting rejected at an interview, encountering a rival, and getting mocked.

When the protagonist leaves the interview, he takes the elevator and bumps into Liang Muyun inside with her group.

The group is debating a proposal, and the protagonist, after listening, boldly offers his opinion.

Liang Muyun shows interest, prompts him to explain further, and is impressed enough to hire him on the spot.

This is the scene they’re about to shoot.

At the elevator entrance, a sign indicating ”Under Maintenance” is placed on the adjacent elevator, creating an opportunity for a high-ranking boss to share an elevator with an interviewee.

Chuzheng and other actors prepared in the elevator.

As the director called action, the elevator doors closed, and since the camera first focused on Fu Xingchen, when the elevator doors opened, the protagonist arrived at the elevator.

A fresh graduate’s outfit contrasted with the business attire of elite professionals inside.

The elevator door seemed like a divine barrier set between the campus and the professional world.
