Chapter 359: Chapter 359: Excuse me, I’m talking to this gentleman

"Of course."

Hearing Chu Chen’s question, the fresh-faced celebrity said confidently.

"I’m so popular now, I can casually post a message on Weibo and it’ll hit the top ten trending topics. Isn’t that amazing?"

The young star had completely blown up with confidence, believing that it wouldn’t be long before those top-tier young stars, like a certain Huang or a certain Wu, would be bowing down to him.

The chubby director walked over.

"What do you know, kid, you’re just a driver for hire?"

"Watch and see."

Sneering at Chu Chen, the young star immediately put on an angry face.

"Director Zhang, is there something you need?"

The director stopped at the passenger side, so the young star rolled down the window and asked coldly.

At this moment, he was laughing wildly inside, full of pride, just waiting for the director to beg him.

"You..."

The director began to speak.

Actually, he had come to tell this self-important young star that he had been cut from the film. He wouldn’t be playing the second male lead, or even the third male lead for that matter.

But before he could finish, the director suddenly noticed Chu Chen sitting there.

The director was dumbfounded, Oh my god!

How could there be someone so incredibly handsome?

That face, it was astonishingly attractive.

"Forget the second male lead, you could be the leading man."

The director said.

"The leading man?!"

The young star got even more excited, thinking that even if the director humbled himself, he might just get the second male lead.

Who would’ve thought, he could be the lead now?

Oh, he wanted to keep it low-key, but his talent didn’t allow it.

So popular, what could he do?

Thinking this, the young star smugly glanced at Chu Chen.

What’s up with that driver’s look?

"Director Zhang, I think playing the leading man could work."

The young star said to Director Zhang.

"If Director Zhang insists, then I guess I’ll reluctantly accept."

With that, the young star opened the car door and stepped out, wanting to discuss the details with the director.

"Accept what?"

However, seeing the excited young star, Director Zhang looked puzzled.

"Could you please step aside, I’m talking to this gentleman here."

As he explained, Director Zhang heartlessly pushed the young star aside.

In an instant, the young star was dumbstruck.

"Sir, may I invite you for a cup of tea?"

Director Zhang smiled as he invited Chu Chen.

With looks like that, it’s a pity not to be a star.

"Sure."

Having talked with the young star for a while, Chu Chen was also thirsty, so he agreed to Director Zhang’s invitation.

Chu Chen got out of the car and walked inside with Director Zhang.

"Director Zhang, wait a moment?"

The young star couldn’t help but shout,

"You just said being the lead wasn’t meant for me?!"

He was so popular, so good-looking, how could it not be him?

"You?"

Director Zhang looked at him with disgust.

"Who do you think you are? You should take a good look at yourself, you think you can be the lead looking like that?"

"When I said he could be the lead, I meant this gentleman here."

"You think you’re handsome? You’re worlds apart from this gentleman!"

With that, Director Zhang and Chu Chen walked inside.

After just a few steps, Director Zhang suddenly stopped and added,

"Oh, and don’t bother coming back for the third male lead."

With that, Director Zhang and Chu Chen left.

All that remained was the young star standing there, feeling like he’d been stabbed through the heart.

Worlds apart in looks?

Not even the third male lead?

At that moment, the young star burst into tears.

...

On the way, Director Zhang introduced himself as the assistant director of this film, managing various affairs.

"What have you been doing?"

"Why are you back so late, and bringing a stranger with you?"

Apparently, things weren’t going well on set, as the main director, a middle-aged man, scolded.

"I..."

Director Zhang was just about to explain.

The next second, an unexpected scene unfolded.

The hot-tempered, arrogant director actually walked over to Chu Chen with a look of surprise.

"You’re Mr. Chu, right?"

"I’ve heard of your name before."

A few days ago, Chu Chen had been approached by a talent scout wanting him to star in some project called "The Dominant CEO’s Stamina."

The scout accidentally discovered Chu Chen’s identity as a super-rich individual and wanted Chu Chen to invest.

However, Chu Chen was busy with other tasks and just left the scout with a contact number.

Returning to the company, the scout secretly snapped a photo of Chu Chen and reported back to the higher-ups, and this director became aware of Chu Chen.

He never expected to encounter him today.

Soon, under the guidance of a group of beautiful stars called by the director, Chu Chen was given a tour. This was a different film set, not the "Dominant CEO’s Stamina" crew.

Surrounded by several trending actresses, Chu Chen instantly became the focus of the entire filming base.

After a brief chat, Chu Chen left.

Chu Chen took on his second job, a bald man in his thirties accompanied by a beautiful woman.

He drove a Maserati Quattroporte worth over a million.

It looked like he had just met this beauty, and upon getting in the car, he started showing off, capturing the woman’s interest.

As the man noticed the woman occasionally glancing at Chu Chen, he said meaningfully,

"In today’s society, money is the most important thing."

"Age, looks, they’re all trash!"

Showing off, the man elicited a gasp from the woman.

"You truly understand society, ’brilliantly insightful.’"

Chu Chen spoke, already sensing the man’s provocation.

Actually, he meant to say "smart people don’t have hair."

"Brilliantly insightful, of course I’m brilliantly insightful."

The bald man thought Chu Chen was praising him and nodded satisfactorily, he indeed was brilliantly insightful.

"Just like me, making two million yuan a year, that’s what a truly successful person is."

The man continued to brag, having already caught the woman’s attention.

"I’m only thirty-two, and I’m already an executive at Sheng Tang Auction House’s Shanghai branch."

"As long as I work hard, making money will be a breeze."

The man’s bragging got a bit intense.

"Pfft."

Next to him, the woman couldn’t help but laugh, though the bald man didn’t notice, she understood.

"Brilliantly insightful," indeed.

"Hmm?"

Hearing the woman’s laughter, the bald man suddenly realized.

"Wait, are you mocking me?"

The bald man touched his head and questioned Chu Chen.

"How could I be?"

"I think you’re right, you should work hard."

Chu Chen said earnestly.

"If you don’t work hard and make money, how can I become even richer?"

Hearing this from Chu Chen, the bald man and the woman looked puzzled, not understanding what Chu Chen meant.

"Wait a minute?"

The bald man, indeed brilliantly insightful, quickly connected the dots to Chu Chen’s identity and trembled as he asked,

"Are you Mr. Chu?"

"I’m Chu Chen."

Upon this confirmation from Chu Chen, the bald man collapsed directly into the back seat.
