Chapter 611: Chapter 315: Micromanagement! Chen Jincheng Gets Struck by Lightning

Chen Jincheng was in the middle of a livestream when he saw two WeChat messages pop up on his phone.

One was from that girl, Li Muchen.

He opened it and saw a video.

She was wearing a sexy nightgown, looking incredibly alluring under the lights...

"Ahem!" Chen Jincheng coughed when he saw the video.

This girl had gone silent after her last advance. He’d thought she was just looking for a one-time fling, but who knew she’d be so forward now.

He naturally understood her motive. She must have seen his livestream and was starting to make a push for a role.

He had to admit, that nightgown looked stunning on her.

He replied with a single line: "Too bad I’m not in Beijing!"

He had to stay in Beijing for at least a few more days to sort out the film investment matters. After all, he had a meeting scheduled with Guo Fan in Beijing.

Just as he was thinking about this, he received another message. To his surprise, it was from that Sweet Sister, Tian Xiwei.

It was just one sentence: "Boss, I haven’t seen you in so many days. I miss you so much!"

This made him smile again.

’I didn’t expect this Sweet Sister to know how to play these games, too.’

He smiled and replied to her message: "I’ve saved a lead role for you to practice with. Get ready for it."

After messaging the two girls, Chen Jincheng put his phone down and returned to the livestream, looking at the bullet-chat questions and answering them randomly:

"It seems everyone is still quite concerned about whether I’ll act or not. Honestly, I know my own limits. I’m not going to act just to get flamed."

"Of course, it’s not an absolute no. If there’s a role that doesn’t require any acting skills, one where I can just be myself, and it doesn’t ruin the viewing experience, I might give it a try."

"What’s this about a ’scumbag’? Aren’t you all falsely accusing me? When I said ’be myself,’ I was referring to the pure and devoted type of guy!"

The moment he said that, everyone in the private room couldn’t help but stare at him.

Seriously, no one thought he would dare say something so shameless in front of over two million people.

The livestream audience couldn’t resist spamming "666".

The screen was densely packed with them.

Honestly, did anyone not know what kind of person Chen Jincheng was?

Even if he proclaimed he wouldn’t ’eat the grass by the nest,’ how many people would actually believe him?

"The Number One Scumbag on the Internet" was his deeply ingrained label. It’s just that this label was so rock-bottom that people didn’t even know how to roast him for it.

They couldn’t even ’hammer’ him if they wanted to.

People said other celebrities were afraid of their ’houses collapsing’ from being hammered.

Chen Jincheng’s house had already collapsed into a pile of ruins. A part of it was even rotting in the ground. There was nothing left to collapse.

So, when he pretended to be a pure-hearted guy, a rabbit that doesn’t eat the grass by its nest, or a single man, everyone was too lazy to hammer him. The tacit agreement to just spam "666" was the best form of silence.

They wouldn’t utter a single other word about it.

「Coastal City.」

Li Muchen also saw her boss’s reply.

’Too bad he’s not in Beijing?’

’But *I* can be in Beijing.’

She immediately replied, "Boss, I’ll book a flight right now."

But then she thought, ’If my cousin finds out I’m secretly going to see the boss, she’ll be angry, won’t she?’

With that in mind, she immediately went out and found Zhang Ao’ai. "Sister Ai, quick, give me your ID info. We’re booking flights to Beijing!"

"What’s going on?" Zhang Ao’ai asked.

Li Muchen explained, "We’re going to find the boss! He’s investing in so many shows. We need to hurry and fight for a role. Before, we were just small-time actors with no powerful backer to cling to. Now we have one! Do I really need to spell it out for you?"

It clicked for Zhang Ao’ai. She immediately started looking for her ID while asking, "What about Yueqing?"

Li Muchen quickly said, "She has an event, so she can’t make it in time. We’ll go first and try to secure something for her, too."

"Okay!" Not suspecting a thing, Zhang Ao’ai immediately handed her ID to Li Muchen.

「Meanwhile.」

Tian Xiwei also received Chen Jincheng’s message, and her face immediately lit up with a pleasant surprise.

Beside her, Xiaohu noticed her unusual reaction and asked instinctively, "What is it? A reply from Chen Jincheng? I saw him check his phone and message someone during the livestream."

Tian Xiwei showed her the message he had sent.

Xiaohu couldn’t help but feel envious when she saw it. "Weiwei, the boss said he’s saved a lead role for you! You’re so lucky. See? This is the benefit of being proactive."

"The boss created the film department for you and raised such a fuss for you. Who knows how many people in the company are jealous of you. So, you have to keep being proactive, and it would be best to... take care of what needs to be taken care of."

Hearing this, Tian Xiwei felt her heart skip a beat.

She knew exactly what "what needs to be taken care of" meant.

In fact, even without Xiaohu saying it, she had heard plenty of gossip about this kind of thing back in school.

Especially that campus belle, a senior, who landed a leading role in her junior year. Someone had seen her going to a hotel with the director.

The reason another campus belle, a senior, didn’t get the part was because of that. Now, that senior has graduated and is still playing minor roles in various shows.

The campus belle who went to the hotel with the director has already starred as the female lead in quite a few shows.

In this industry, sometimes choices are more important than effort.

Lying down for it is more useful than honing your acting skills.

The real outcome just depends on whether you’re willing to make that choice.

It was just like her current situation.

Like that senior who accompanied the director—the rumors about it were terrible, especially since the director was old and married.

But what was the choice she was facing?

A man who was young, handsome, had a great body, was a talented songwriter, a good singer, knew how to shoot videos, and was rich...

And the key thing was, he was publicly single!

...

「In the restaurant.」

Chen Jincheng also received Li Muchen’s reply.

When he saw that the girl was buying a plane ticket to Beijing, he knew exactly what she meant.
