Staying in a high-class apartment, wearing a bathrobe made of pure natural fabric, sitting on an imported leather sofa, and searching for famous blockbusters that Liang Jing directed and produced; Li Shang still felt a sense of unrealness. His classmate from back in university gave him a call, “Have you found a full-time job?” Li Shang was smiling as he replied, “Does being an actor count?” “Get out! I’ll fucking eat a bucket of shit if a mechanical engineer graduate like you can become an actor!” Li Shang laughed out loud. Just as he was about to say something, the doorbell rang. “Gotta go. Someone is here.” Li Shang went to open the door and realised the visitor was Liang Jing. Seeing the person in front of him, Li Shang could not help but become nervous. “I couldn’t fall asleep, so I’m here to check your body.” Liang Jing walked inside directly. Li Shang was astonished, “Check my body?” Xiao-Wen rushed in not a moment later and brought a height altimeter, a right angle gauge, and an angle gauge with him. “It has been ten days since we last met. Just a slight negligence in your diet may have caused a change in your data. If there is any slight deviation, we can still use these two days to make up for it.” Li Shang was very confused, “When… did we meet?” Liang Jing did not explain. He merely raised his chin towards Xiao-Wen, signalling him to do what he was supposed to do. Once again, Li Shang was stripped naked. Xiao-Wen meticulously took the measurements for each part of his body. Besides his height, hip circumference, and leg length that Liang Jing had mentioned before, the examination of other parts of his body such as thigh circumference, calf circumference, as well as the curve of his legs. The whole process took half an hour. Only after Xiao-Wen confirmed that there were no errors, did he hand the data over to Liang Jing. Liang Jing scanned the data from the top of the table to the bottom, the expression on his face changed as he went down the rows of data. Li Shang stole a glance at him from the side, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.
Liang Jing murmured with a sullen expression on his face, “I should have been accurate, there shouldn’t be such a major inaccuracy even if the measurements are dynamic…” He stood up as he was finishing his sentence and walked towards Li Shang, “I’ll take your measurements myself.” The measurements remained the same the second time. If gauged with the eyes alone, Han Dong’s and Li Shang’s figures look almost the same. But once the measurements were taken with clothes stripped off, the difference in measurement for each part of the body became obvious. Parts like the hip and leg circumferences were still fine, they can be covered by other means. However, Li Shang’s legs were 18mm long and his height was insufficient as well. It was impossible to change those measurements in two days. “Does this pair of trousers belong to you?” Liang Jing lifted his head suddenly and asked. Li Shang’s tongue stiffened, “W-What’s wrong?” Xiao-Wen jumped into the conversation, “Our director happened to find you on the street. You were already gone when we drove over, leaving a piece of cloth torn from your trousers on the fence. We only went to the entrance of Northern Film Studio to recruit people so that we could look for you. Otherwise, there’s no way a big company like us would be lacking acto-” “Enough!” Liang Jing interrupted Xiao-Wen and asked Li Shang directly, “So, does this pair of trousers belong to you or not?” Li Shang knew fully well whether or not those trousers belonged to him, but he was no longer sure whether his mouth was still his own. He felt as if he had won 3 million dollars with 10 thousand dollars, but ended up losing everything until he only had 10 thousand dollars left. Although he did not technically lose anything, his mentality was completely different from when he thought he was lucky. “Oh… that day? I ended up on the fence because I got into a fight with someone.” Seeing how Li Shang did not answer his question directly, Liang Jing’s hopes were completely shattered. “Wang Zhongding, it seems like you’re determined not to use me.” Liang Jing sneered. Xiao-Wen tried to comfort him, “Director, don’t rush it. We still have two more days to look for one.” “Find? From where?” Liang Jing roared in anger all of a sudden, “Do you think there will be any living person in this world who grows according to the requirements of others? I have been searching for three months now, and there is only one that’s anywhere close to what I’m looking for. And now? There is a difference of nearly two centimetres! Are you gonna attach those lacking two centimetres on to him?!”
