“Hey, isn’t that the eldest son of the Guo family?” Zhou Chao spotted a familiar face emerging from under the sunshade, and it was none other than Guo Qilin, the heir to the Deshe Group.

“And wasn’t ‘Joy of Life’ being filmed last year? Why isn’t it finished yet?”

“That graceful figure next to him must be the ‘Chicken Leg Mushroom Lady,’ right?”

“I wonder if ‘Joy of Life’ in this world will become a hit like it did in my previous world.”

However, these thoughts were unrelated to Zhou Chao. They merely flashed through his mind as he focused on the filming scene below.

“Old Yi, why do they want us to do reshoots again? Didn’t they say it was already done? We’ve been reshooting for two or three days!” Guo Qilin adjusted his clothes and approached a beautiful woman.

“I don’t know either. Maybe there were some shortcomings in our previous shots. There’s nothing we can do. We just have to do as the director says,” Song Xiaoyi replied, her mouth twitching upon hearing Guo Qilin’s address.

“What are you two talking about?”

“Qin, you’re here! We were discussing the reshoots. We’re not sure when it will be finished!”

“It might take several more days. They say there are quite a few scenes that need reshooting, and I’ve noticed that many lead actors have arrived!” Li Qin Qin immediately shared the information she had gathered.

“Look, you guys, the crowd is getting too crazy now. That person has even climbed to the second floor. If the people from the film and television city see this, they’ll surely give him a good scolding!”

While chatting, Song Xiaoyi noticed a handsome man leaning against the wooden railing not far away, gazing at the three of them.

Li Qin Qin and Guo Qilin followed Song Xiaoyi’s gaze and saw the handsome guy examining them.

“Huh, it’s him! How did he end up here?” Guo Qilin, standing to the side, looked at the handsome man with a surprised expression on his face!

“Qilin, do you know him? Is he also in the entertainment industry?” Song Xiaoyi, always lively and curious, looked at Guo Qilin.

“He’s quite a big shot, and I’ve only met him once or twice. Even my father wouldn’t dare to speak loudly in front of him!” Guo Qilin took a step forward, waved at Zhou Chao, and then made a phone gesture.

Guo Qilin’s words surprised both Li Qin Qin and Song Xiaoyi a bit. After all, they knew that his father held significant influence in the industry.

As for Zhou Chao, who was leaning against the wooden railing, he saw Guo Qilin waving at him. He courteously waved back but then thought for a moment and made a gesture as if he were making a phone call.

“Hey, Qilin, look, the handsome guy seems to be signaling you for a dinner invitation. It seems like he wants to take you out!” Song Xiaoyi, as if discovering a new world, pulled Guo Qilin’s clothes.

“Old Yi, I see it too. You seem more excited than 1 am, even though you pretend to be calm!” Although he calmly spoke with his mouth, the curve of his lips revealed his inner excitement.

“How about we all go together tonight?”

“Let’s pass, we’re not familiar with him, and…”

Song Xiaoyi didn’t finish her sentence as the assistant director called for the actors to take their positions. The three of them reluctantly ended their unfinished conversation.

Soon, the crew started working, and Zhou Chao stood above, thoroughly enjoying the scene. He finally understood that acting wasn’t as difficult as it seemed, as long as one’s expressions and emotions were on point, it was quite simple.

After about an hour of shooting, with breaks in between, the crew finally announced the end of today’s filming. Zhou Chao, satisfied, walked down the stairs and climbed out of the window.

It was already past five o’clock, and the city’s closing time was just about 10 minutes away. Zhou Chao had to follow the crowd and head outside.

Just as he reached the parking lot, Zhou Chao heard his phone ringing in his pocket. He took it out and saw that it was Guo Qilin’s call. They had exchanged numbers during their last dinner.

Zhou Chao answered the call directly.

“Hello, Qilin, are you done with your work over there?”

“All, Young Master Zhou, I’m done on my end. Where are you now?” Guo Qilin sat in his own business car and asked cautiously, looking at his assistant who seemed a bit puzzled on the side.

“Oh, 1 just arrived at the parking lot. Where are you?”

“I’m also in the parking lot, Young Master Zhou. I’ll come find you right away!” Guo Qilin was pleasantly surprised by the coincidence.

“Sure, come on over. I’m near a Lamborghini.” Zhou Chao hung up after speaking and took out a cigarette, lighting it up.

He exhaled a cloud of smoke, feeling quite relaxed.

Before long, Zhou Chao spotted Guo Qilin approaching. He was wearing a sporty outfit and a cap, jogging towards him.

“Young Master Zhou, long time no see!” Guo Qilin greeted as he arrived at Zhou Chao’s side.

“It has been a while. Do you have plans for the evening? How about having dinner together?” Zhou Chao didn’t have much to do and considered it a fortunate encounter, so he was willing to treat him to a meal.

“Young Master Zhou, let me take care of the dinner. I’m more familiar with this area!”

Guo Qilin hesitated to accept Zhou Chao’s offer and quickly suggested that he would host the dinner.

“It doesn’t matter as long as there’s something delicious around here. Who’s treating isn’t important.”

“I know a place. I’ll take you there!”

“Alright, I drove here. You can lead the way, and I’ll follow you!”

Guo Qilin only noticed Zhou Chao’s Lamborghini Veneno at this moment.

He looked at the Lamborghini in astonishment and couldn’t believe his eyes. “Is this… a Lamborghini Veneno?”

“Yes, it is. Would you like to experience it?” Zhou Chao had heard about it in his previous life, and Guo Qilin, as the heir of the Deshe Group, was also a car enthusiast.

“Can I, really?” Zhou Chao chuckled but didn’t reply. Instead, he tossed the car keys from his pocket to Guo Qilin and made a gesture inviting him to try it.

Guo Qilin took the keys with some hesitation. He followed Zhou Chao’s gesture before bowing slightly. Then, he opened the car door and got in. He immediately started the supercar and took a quick spin around the parking lot.

Since there weren’t many cars in the parking lot at this time, Guo Qilin felt bold driving it. Soon, the car was parked in front of Zhou Chao.

“Young Master Zhou, this car is incredibly cool. If we find a straight road, it must be an exhilarating ride!” Guo Qilin handed the keys back to Zhou Chao with both hands.

“If you get the chance, you can give it a try. Alright, it’s getting late. Let’s go. I haven’t found a place to stay for the night yet.”

“Young Master Zhou, I’ll have my assistant arrange that for you later. You can rest assured!”

“Alright, let’s go then.” Zhou Chao nodded, indicating that he would leave it to Guo Qilin to handle.

Guo Qilin turned and got back into his business car, while Zhou Chao got into his own vehicle. The two cars left the parking lot one after the other, heading towards Xiangshan County.

After about 20 minutes, they arrived at a restaurant that looked quite nice, and there were already several cars parked outside.

“Young Master Zhou, please, let’s go inside!”
