Chapter 617: Chapter 317: Forming Cliques! Stunned

This rich girl’s family was too well-off. Plus, she’d always been a pampered princess, so her needs were definitely high, and the kind of emotional validation she required was on another level. If she felt wronged, she would undoubtedly have a long list of demands. It wasn’t something he could smooth over just by filming a video for her.

A real handful.

Sister Hehe was completely fed up. She lifted her leg and kicked him in the calf. "Chen Jincheng, how many times are you going to say that? I already told you, as long as you don’t marry anyone else or publicly announce another girlfriend, I can accept it."

"Besides, you already let me have a taste. Don’t be so awful every single time. I’ll really get mad."

"And if you get mad, does that mean you’ll ignore me?" Chen Jincheng laughed, deliberately provoking her. "We only did that once, it’s not a big deal, is it? It’s not like we truly went all the way. Don’t take it to heart."

"Fuck." Sister Hehe’s eyes widened in disbelief. "Chen Jincheng, are those words even fit for a human being? You’re the only one I’ve ever done that with, and you’re telling me not to take it to heart? If I ever talk to you again, then I’m a bitch!"

This time, she was truly furious. She spun around and stormed off.

Chen Jincheng breathed a sigh of relief. ’So it was that easy to get rid of her.’

’Unbelievable.’

But the smile had barely formed on his face when he saw Sister Hehe turn back, a wicked grin spreading across hers. Then, to his utter astonishment, she jogged back and latched onto his arm. "Did you think you actually made me mad enough to leave? Hmph, just teasing you. In any case, I’ve already had a taste. You’re not getting rid of me. No way."

"I give up. You win," Chen Jincheng said, speechless.

"Then let’s go in!" Sister Hehe said, beaming.

"To do what?" Chen Jincheng asked.

"I told you, I want to sleep with you tonight," Sister Hehe reminded him.

Chen Jincheng didn’t bother being subtle anymore. "I’m busy tonight. I have to spend time with Li Xiaoyang and the others. They’re going back to Coastal City tomorrow."

"’Them’?" Sister Hehe asked.

"Weren’t you the one who said you didn’t mind?" Chen Jincheng shot back.

"It’s normal for a man to play around. I’m sure you’ll have your fun and get tired of it eventually." Sister Hehe huffed. ’The key thing is, they’re all leaving tomorrow. Then there won’t be anyone else around Chen Jincheng, right? He’ll be all mine.’

Chen Jincheng suddenly felt like there was something wrong with this girl’s head.

’Even after I’ve been this blunt, how can she still say it’s normal to ’play around’?’

He decided to just ignore her and walked straight toward Li Xiaoyang’s room.

’Seriously, why couldn’t I control myself in the car? Why did I let her have that ’taste’?’

’Now I’m in for it.’

Chen Jincheng quickly entered Li Xiaoyang’s room. The girl had been waiting for him, and the moment he walked in, she jumped on him.

...

「The next day, the sun was bright and beautiful.」

When Chen Jincheng woke up, he found soft, delicate bodies leaning against him on both sides. He glanced at Little Su Fei on one side and Sun Yifan on the other. This was the so-called "blessing of a man with two wives," but it also meant it was difficult to even turn over all night. His arms were sore.

As he tried to pull his arms back, the two girls woke up.

Which, of course, led to an unavoidable session of "self-disciplined" morning exercise with double the pleasure.

After leaving the room and getting Li Xiaoyang to go downstairs for breakfast, he found Sister Hehe and Sister Hong already in the dining hall.

When Sister Hehe saw him, she eagerly asked, "They’re going back to Coastal City today, right? What time is their flight?"

Chen Jincheng knew, of course, that the three girls had a flight at noon. What he hadn’t expected was that Li Muchen and Zhang Ao’ai were also scheduled to arrive in Beijing around noon.

This meant he could drop the three girls off and then pick up Li Muchen and Zhang Ao’ai right afterward. A perfect handoff.

To avoid any unexpected issues, it was best to head to the airport more than an hour before a flight.

As Chen Jincheng was about to take the three girls to the airport, Sister Hehe stopped him. "There’s a women’s clothing market next to the hotel. I’m going to go buy a sexy set of lingerie and stockings. I’ll wear them for you tonight! Do you like lace?"

She was ecstatic. ’Once all three of them are gone, Chen Jincheng will have no more excuses. He’ll definitely have to make it up to me tonight.’

Chen Jincheng got in the car, dropped the three girls off at the airport, and after waiting for a while, he picked up Li Muchen and Zhang Ao’ai as they deplaned.

Both of them had a lot of fans now, so they wore masks as they came out.

Zhang Ao’ai had already broken 10 million followers after her Booty Dance went viral.

Li Muchen had also long since passed the 5 million follower mark.

After a quick phone call, the two girls spotted Chen Jincheng, who was also wearing a mask, and trotted over to him.

"Boss!" Li Muchen’s face lit up as she greeted him. It had been a long time.

Besides, back in Coastal City, she lived with Sister Ai and her cousin, so even if she wanted to proactively seek out the Boss, she was worried about being discovered.

Now that she was in Beijing, she could finally let go of her inhibitions.

As a woman who had been single for a long time, after experiencing her boss’s physical prowess and strength, she had, in fact, been thinking about it constantly.

This made her unable to resist hugging his arm. She even rubbed against it deliberately, sending him a clear message.

Chen Jincheng naturally picked up on her signal and smiled back at her.

Zhang Ao’ai didn’t think much of it when she saw Li Muchen hugging their boss’s arm.

After all, hugging a boss’s arm was a common way to show closeness. Many celebrities did it to signal a harmonious relationship, which helped solidify a personal bond beyond work and added a touch of warmth to their professional lives.

Moreover, the entertainment industry was fiercely competitive, and the career pressure was immense. Hugging the boss’s arm was also a psychological gesture, a way of seeking his support and protection.

She had heard about such things from her seniors and had seen it happen many times. She just hadn’t expected Mu Chen to be so proactive about it.

’But it makes sense,’ she thought. ’The Boss has invested in so many shows this time. We have a huge opportunity to land a role.’

’She and Mu Chen are about to properly enter the entertainment industry now; we have to adapt to how things are done here.’

With that in mind, she also stepped forward and took hold of Chen Jincheng’s other arm.

In all her time with Second-Life Star, this was the first time she had ever been so forwardly intimate with the Boss. It was because she really, truly wanted to act. She wanted to be a leading lady.

She understood that this kind of proactive closeness could easily lead to morally questionable situations. Often, a boss would get ideas about getting even closer, and many celebrities would agree in exchange for status and resources.

She had never been willing to accept those "special rules." Otherwise, she wouldn’t have spent so long running around as an extra before becoming a proper actor. She’d had several opportunities to play by those rules; if she had agreed back then, she might have already made a name for herself.

’But if the boss is Chen Jincheng...’

’And if he’s the one offering me a lead role...’

As the thought crossed her mind, she stole a glance at her boss.

’Oh, dear!’

’I’m being such a hypocrite.’

’Then again,’ she mused, ’the fight for resources in this industry is so fierce. People will agree to some disgusting things to get ahead.’

’Take that famous short director, for example. He’s a man who likes men, and all the male actors in his shows are handsome, right? Rumor is, he’s "turned" a few of them.’

Chen Jincheng subconsciously glanced at Zhang Ao’ai. ’Well, this is a surprise.’

’This girl is taking the initiative to get close to me?’

’Looks like the laws of fame and fortune are inevitable, even if they take their time.’

Li Muchen looked at her in surprise. She had been worried her own forwardness just now might make Sister Ai suspicious, but she never expected Sister Ai to get close to the Boss herself.

’Looks like she also understands the importance of latching onto the Boss’s coattails.’

This gave her an idea. ’If I can pull Sister Ai into this with me, then I won’t have to worry about her finding me out.’

Most importantly, she knew that besides them, Tian Xiwei and her clique were also in the film and television department.

The rumor online was that the Boss founded the film department just for Tian Xiwei, even acquiring LeTV Film and Television to boost her career.

This news had made her incredibly jealous. She even felt it was unfair.

After all, they had been with Second-Life Star for so long, and the Boss hadn’t created a film department. And she had even given herself to him.

So, she had no confidence she could compete with Tian Xiwei.

’But if I pull Sister Ai in with me, we can team up. We should be able to draw at least half of the Boss’s attention our way. We can’t let all the resources go to Tian Xiwei’s side.’

Chen Jincheng, however, had no idea that his film department, with only a handful of artists, was already showing signs of devious clique-forming.

Even if this particular brand of clique-forming was a little... unusual.

...

「Meanwhile」, Sister Hehe was in a shop, buying a new set of sleepwear and changing into it.

She didn’t end up buying something overtly sexy with lace, like she’d originally planned.

’After all, Chen Jincheng is surrounded by sexy women. I’m sure some of them wear lace, right?’

’He must be tired of seeing it by now, right? Aesthetic fatigue.’

So, she bought something cute and innocent instead. As long as there was little enough fabric and it was sheer enough, cute and innocent could be just as sexy. It would be a refreshing change for him.

Sister Hehe tried on the outfit and was extremely satisfied. She had the clerk ring her up. ’I’m putting in all this effort for Chen Jincheng,’ she thought. ’If he doesn’t compensate me properly tonight and make me happy, he’s a heartless bastard.’

After buying her new outfit, she headed back to the hotel full of anticipation. Just as she arrived, she saw the car from Rice Group, the one assigned to Chen Jincheng, pulling up. She happily went to greet it, only to see two girls get out, one after the other.

After Chen Jincheng got out, the two girls immediately flanked him, each taking one of his arms.

"???" Sister Hehe was completely dumbfounded.
