Chapter 10

Just as Su Yu was taking Liu Yifei for a stroll, at the Happiness Restaurant in Huairou Film City.

The extras of "The Grand Mansion" all gathered together to prepare for dinner.

Zhang Ben was the one hosting this time, and he requested the best private room and booked the most expensive banquet.

No matter the year, young people like to compete and can't help but show off their achievements. Zhang Ben had just gotten a small supporting role, and he was already making arrangements before the show even started.

"Ladies and gentlemen, from today onwards, I, Zhang Ben, am different. I just got a role."

"We've all been brothers and sisters for so long. If I ever achieve great success in the future, I will never forget you all. So I toast you all, and also to our dreams and our youth."

Zhang Ben picked up his wine glass and drank the two ounces in one gulp.

He then imitated other wealthy people by handing out cigarettes on the spot, all of them being the Zhonghua brand.

Upon seeing this, cheers erupted in the restaurant.

"Awesome! Brother Zhang, with your aura, you're destined to be a sensation."

"That's right, that's right, you look exactly like those big stars on film sets now."

"Brother Zhang won't forget us, and we certainly won't forget Brother Zhang either. Just let us know if you ever need anything!"

Zhang Ben chuckled twice, saying that he was just lucky, and secretly glanced at Shen Huazheng sitting opposite him.

Most men only show off in front of two types of people.

One is in front of family, friends, and relatives.

One is in front of women.

Before, when everyone was just an extra, I didn't dare to look at you, but now that I'm a supporting actor, and in the drama "The Grand Mansion Gate", Zhang Ben suddenly felt very confident.

However, Shen Huazheng's expression remained indifferent, and she seemed rather uninterested.

Although they were both extras, she looked down on Zhang Ben at all. He was neither handsome nor rich. If she really had to choose, she would rather choose Su Yu.

At least his face is presentable enough.

pity……

He gave up being a proper actor and insisted on going into the sex industry. I really don't know what he was thinking.

Just then, the restaurant door was suddenly pushed open by a fat hand, and Li Yang ran in panting, a strange expression on his face.

"So you guys are eating here. I've been looking for you for ages."

"Hey? Li Yang, why did you come back alone? Did you not get along with Su Yu?"

"No, Brother Yu was busy with business and sent me alone..."

Li Yang originally wanted to say that Su Yu took Liu Yifei out to play every day, but after thinking about it, he decided not to say it.

Upon hearing his words, Shen Huazheng, who had been expressionless, suddenly raised an eyebrow, her face showing deep confusion.

Actually, when she was on set last time, she wanted to advise Su Yu not to act like a child.

Su Yu left so decisively that he was gone the next day, which made Shen Huazheng quite depressed.

She truly felt sorry for Su Yu. The supporting role that Zhang Ben was supposed to be Su Yu's, but he just wouldn't wait.

Now, hearing Li Yang say that he's still busy with some business, Shen Huazheng feels a little angry.

Should I really accept Zhang Ben's advances?

If only it were Su Yu instead...

Everyone has their own pursuits. Shen Huazheng never thought she was a great actress; she became an actress just to find a good boyfriend.

What's that saying again? If you want to be a general's wife, you'd better marry him when he's still a lowly soldier.

So she came over as soon as filming for "The Grand Mansion Gate" started.

In her opinion, Su Yu was the most promising and the most worthwhile investment among the entire "Grand Mansion" production team.

And the truth was just as she had imagined.

In his previous life, Su Yu really made a comeback with the TV series "The Grand Mansion Gate," and Shen Huazheng, who owned the original shares, made a fortune.

I got to know many people in the industry and gained access to a lot of resources both on and off screen.

But now Su Yu is gone, and only Zhang Ben remains.

Although it wasn't a complete waste of time and effort, the feeling of dashed hopes still made her very upset.

"Su Yu is still doing business?" Zhang Ben looked at Li Yang with a strange expression.

"yes."

"What kind of business does he run? Is he a boss?"

Shen Huazheng came to her senses and then said, "Where would he get the money to be a boss? It seems like he's just a middleman, reselling VCDs."

"Huh? Being a middleman is considered business now?" Zhang Ben laughed, a very happy laugh, clearly looking down on Su Yu.

The surrounding extras couldn't help but chuckle, thinking that Su Yu had completely lost his mind and probably sent Li Yang here just to test him.

While it's true that every profession can produce an expert, the term "middleman" sounds really bad and can't be compared to future stars like them.

Li Yang wanted to refute this after hearing it.

You still look down on my brother Yu? My brother Yu earned tens of thousands in just one hour yesterday, okay?

My brother Yu completely fooled that taxi driver with just one word!

However, he didn't say these words out loud, not because he was embarrassed, but because Su Yu told him not to cause trouble.

Let people laugh at you. They're not laughing at what you did, they're laughing at you as a person.

Damn, Brother Yu could even predict this?

That's awesome.

No wonder he managed to fool Shi Yuzhu with just three sentences!

However, thinking of this, Li Yang suddenly glanced at Shen Huazheng across from him. He had always thought Shen Huazheng was quite pretty, but after meeting Liu Yifei, he thought she was just average.

Especially since she just said bad things about my brother Yu!

Pah, you wicked woman!

My brother Yu is right, the entertainment industry is definitely not a good place.

However, Li Yang wanted to let the matter drop, but the others were not prepared to give up this opportunity to tease Su Yu.

Several other girls came with Shen Huazheng today, one of whom was named Lin Zhi. She was always arrogant and looked down on everyone.

Especially after confessing her feelings to Su Yu but being rejected once.

So as soon as they heard the name Su Yu, they immediately jumped out.

"Li Yang, tell me honestly, is Su Yu afraid to come back, so he sent you here to ask us what's going on?"

Shen Huazheng chimed in, "Come back if you want, the crew is short-staffed right now."

Lin Zhi pursed her lips and said, "I think he's too scared to come back. He's afraid of losing face and being laughed at. He's just being stubborn."

"He had great opportunities if he had stayed on set, but he insisted on going out and having fun. Now look what happened, he's lost everything."

Upon hearing this, Shen Huazheng's previously somewhat depressed mood vanished instantly.

If you can't have something, then watch it be destroyed. Isn't that a very satisfying thing?

Just then, the door to the private room was pushed open again, and a girl named Qi Nian walked in, also apologizing.

"Excuse me, we've gone the wrong way. Where were we in our conversation?"

"Let's talk about Su Yu. He failed in his business venture and is too afraid to come back, so he specifically sent Li Yang over to discuss the situation. Isn't that ridiculous?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Nian's expression froze.

She arrived late because she went to the convenience store next door to make a phone call.

There were many people queuing to make phone calls.

The person in front of her in line was Li Yang...
