“Lower your voice!” Han Dong reminded him, “My girlfriend is right here.
Can’t you save me some face?” “You call that your girlfriend?” Li Shang gripped Han Dong’s scorpion braid and sneered, “You’ve not even untied your pigtail and you’ve already changed the person.” Han Dong slapped away Li Shang’s hand and changed the topic, “How was the role today? Did you accept it?” Only then was there a hint of a smile on Li Shang’s face.
“You’re pretty accurate.
I do, indeed, have some celebrity luck!” Just as Han Dong was about to ask for more details, the pretty lady behind him pouted impatiently, “Are you done?” “I’ll accompany her first.
Chat with you later.” After sending the beauty back home, Han Dong was itching to ask about Li Shang’s “battle progress” today.
“Let me tell you, the one that came to recruit today was from Zhong Ding Films and Television Corporation.
They are, apparently, shooting their yearly major film and they will be casting many newbies.
The one I joined today was the pre-selection round from more than 100 people and I was the only one who progressed to the next round.
I heard that the next round of selection will be done by the executive producer himself! Hey, why don’t you come with me on that day?” Han Dong snorted, “What if I got chosen? Have you not heard what those celebrities had experienced for their debuts? All of them accompanied their friends for an audition and they were the ones getting chosen instead.” “It doesn’t matter even if you are chosen instead!” Li Shang said casually, “It’s the same no matter which one of us is chosen! I’ll support you if I am selected and you’ll support me if you are selected.” Han Dong smiled, yet stayed silent.
Li Shang continued, “As expected of the industry’s big boss, he showed no hesitation when it comes to spending! I have only just made it to the final selection round and they have already reimbursed me for my travel and food expenses on the actual day itself.
I actually earned 500 dollars by doing absolutely nothing.”
Han Dong gave him a sidelong glance and muttered, “I wouldn’t even be able to earn that much even if I camp there for ten days!” Li Shang smiled apologetically immediately, “This opportunity belongs to you.
I’ll give you the full amount and not take a single cent!” “What are you getting at? Do you think I’m that sort of person?” Han Dong’s face darkened as he pulled out those couple of bills from Li Shang’s hand, “I’m giving you face this time, but this is not to be taken as a precedent!” When Li Shang went to take a shower in the public bathroom, Han Dong and Ye Chenglin sat together and had a chat.
“So, how’s Li Shang as a person?” Ye Chenglin asked.
Han Dong laughed coldly, “You can tell by just a glance that he’s a thankless wretch.” “Then, why are you still helping him this much?” Han Dong shook the bills in his hand, “I feel no guilt in my heart for ordering an ingrate around.” “You brat, you truly know what you’re doing, huh!” There was a hint of hatred in Ye Chenglin’s tone of voice, “Making others help you earn money while you play around with girls.” Han Dong put his arm around Ye Chenglin and laughed wickedly, “Don’t put it in such direct words…” At night when it was time for bed, Han Dong asked Li Shang in passing, “Why are you back so late when you didn’t even pick up any work today?” “Don’t even mention it!” Li Shang’s stomach was filled with complaints, “I had to take off all my clothes and get measured from head to toe for the whole afternoon.
Apparently, the selection process is especially harsh this time, every part needs to be to an exact measurement.
Even the thighs and calves must be measured separately, and it has to be precise to a decimal point!” Han Dong replied faintly, “Who decided on those conditions? What a dumb cunt.”
