Chapter 975: Chapter 343: All East-Facing Units from Floors 10 to 20 Are Mine_3

The 20th floor arrived, and the woman walked out.

Yang Chen followed her out and said, "A fan? Are you a celebrity! But with you wrapped up so tightly, I have no idea who you are. You’re overthinking it, I just came to check out an apartment tonight and stay over to see what it’s like to live in a high-end complex costing more than 100,000 per square meter. I noticed you watching earlier, so I wondered which floor you lived on since I’m staying on that floor tonight too. I have no interest in you, so don’t flatter yourself. No matter how desperate I am, I wouldn’t react to a pile of clothes, right? Who knows what you even look like."

Woman: "Are you kidding me? Don’t tell me you also have an apartment on the 20th floor. Which one is yours?"

Yang Chen walked over to the east unit again and unlocked the door with his fingerprint, saying, "I like sunshine and quiet, so I bought the east units from the 10th to the 20th floor."

The celebrity woman was stunned, and her sunglasses accidentally fell off.

She quickly picked them up and put them back on, saying, "Are you for real? You’re a property speculator, aren’t you?"

Yang Chen: "I’m just a ride-hailing driver. Occasionally dabble in investments to earn some hard-earned money. Goodnight, superstar."

With that, Yang Chen walked into the apartment and closed the door.

The female celebrity stood there flabbergasted, staring at Yang Chen’s door with her thoughts in chaos and her emotions complex.

She had debuted five years ago, hardly ever taking a break, yet she still couldn’t afford an apartment in Beijing. This place was rented by her agency for her.

But a ride-hailing driver buying from the 10th to the 20th floor? That’s too much of a blow.

Being a celebrity is pointless; might as well drive for a ride-hailing service.

After all, the apartment was a reward from the system, allowing Yang Chen to move in with just his luggage.

He took a bottle of red wine from the liquor cabinet, lay on the bay window, sipping wine while watching the crowds come and go at Yida Plaza across from him, under the colorful lights—this is modern urban life.

After a while, someone knocked on the door.

Yang Chen went to open it, and there stood a young girl in pajamas, smiling brightly.

Yang Chen immediately recognized her as a member of a girl group, notorious for singing off-key and lacking any professional skills beyond her decent looks.

If such people can become famous, how could the entertainment industry in Dragon Country not be doomed?

These TV dramas airing now are unwatchable; their plots insult people’s intelligence and the actors are just trash.

The actors either stare blankly and howl or have frozen expressions, lacking any acting skills, but they’re popular so investors love hiring such people.

"Hello, I’m your neighbor, the one who was wrapped up earlier. I’m Chen Yue, what’s your name?" the girl said with a smile.

Yang Chen: "Yang Chen."

Chen Yue handed the fruit platter she was holding to Yang Chen, saying, "Since we’re neighbors and I didn’t have anything else as a greeting gift, please have these fruits."

Yang Chen quickly replied, "Thank you, but there’s no need, I’m not hungry right now. Do you have anything else? If not, you should rest early, I need to sleep too."

Chen Yue, looking embarrassed, smiled and nodded. As she turned around, she saw a man and a woman coming out of the elevator.

The man turned out to be Wang Nianming, and the woman was his new girlfriend, Shen Jie.

"Huh? Brother Chen, what are you doing here?" Wang Nianming asked loudly.

Yang Chen replied with a smile, "Just bought some apartments, came to experience. The east units from the 10th to the 20th floor are mine; trying out the 20th floor tonight."

Shen Jie: "Wow, Brother Chen, you’re impressive! Buying so many apartments at once. Chen Yue, do you know Brother Chen?"

Seeing how polite Wang Nianming was to Yang Chen, Chen Yue was convinced that Yang Chen was no ordinary person.

She quickly said, "Yes, we just met. You all chat, I’ll head back in."

With that, Chen Yue went into her apartment, eavesdropping at the door on the situation outside.

Wang Nianming leaned closer and whispered, "Brother Chen, are you interested? Shall I set you up?"

Yang Chen: "No way, I’m not that desperate. Are you all staying in the west unit?"

Shen Jie: "I’m in the west unit."

Yang Chen: "Oh, alright, head back. A night of romance is worth a thousand gold coins; don’t waste time exploring the mysteries of the human body."

Wang Nianming and Shen Jie laughed heartily, waved their goodbyes to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen closed the door, freshened up, and went to sleep.

In the adjacent apartment, Chen Yue thought to herself: "What kind of ride-hailing driver is this? He dares joke with Wang Nianming, and Wang Nianming seems quite polite to him. If he’s someone even more privileged than Wang Nianming, dating him might mean I wouldn’t have to worry about houses, cars, or jobs. The first thing I’d do is terminate my contract with this bloodsucking agency. Earning tens of millions a year, but only getting a few hundred thousand; too exploitative."

For any star in the entertainment industry, whether male or female, having a benefactor supporting them is essential to make it. So it’s no wonder people say the entertainment world is a big melting pot.

Even big stars like the King of Heaven Liu have to be polite to investors.

Celebrities like Chen Yue, who rose through talent shows, have no professional skills and rely entirely on their looks to get by, thus needing an established sponsor all the more.

Yang Chen had barely slept for long before receiving a good review from the male passenger who had been running stairs.

"Thanks for helping out, brother. Unfortunately, it still didn’t work out for us. But I’ve come to terms; if she really wanted to be with me, she wouldn’t make it so difficult. Brother, I wish you happiness, peace, and joy for your family."
