Reward

Translated by Seafall (Cf411)

 

After the incident, although Zheng Jue couldn’t help being talked about after dinner, the effect was very good. Ever since knowing that there is such a foolish man with a lot of money who is willing to devote himself to film and television, many producers, radio stations, companies, and investors, have all begun to contact him secretly and secretly.

 

Zheng Jue is very satisfied with this effect. He personally likes the investment in film and television. In addition, he has the foundation of his previous life, and it will be no problem within ten years.

 

In the process of getting in touch with these people, Zheng Jue also really valued a few projects that were very successful in his last life, so he also invested one or two times. After this action, his reputation gradually rose.

 

After only a few months of work, a TV drama he invested in is about to start casting. The producer has been very flattering to him recently, so he invited him to visit. Zheng Jue never did this in his last life. The experience was a little strange, so he also agreed to his invitation and went to the audition place.

 

When Zheng Jue went, more than half of the audition had already been done. The producer was a genius. As soon as he saw his figure, he greeted him with a smile. The audition process was interrupted.

 

The director frowned and glanced at him without saying hello. He nodded toward some of the actors who were at a loss on the stage and motioned him to continue acting. Zheng Jue smiled but didn’t say anything. He was indeed a little disturbed.

 

However, the producer was a little embarrassed, “I’m really sorry Mr. Zheng, Director Wei has a straightforward personality, please bear with him.”

 

Zheng Jue just smiled, thinking that a straightforward personality is nothing, as long as he can earn money for me.

 

This director, Wei Mingwei, is incredible. Although now he is only a rookie director who has only made two or three films, within ten years, he has rushed into the ranks of first-class directors in China. At that time, who would care if his temper was straightforward or not.

 

The producer looked at Zheng Jue who didn’t say a word, so he felt uncomfortable and wanted to distract his attention. He hurriedly pointed at the tearful young man who was performing on the stage and said, “Mr. Zheng, look at this person. He is only 22 years old this year. He just graduated from film school, the image and appearance are very suitable for the plot, and the acting skills are also very good. Do you want to have a meal together later?”

 

Zheng Jue’s heart shook, this was the legendary pimping.

 

“It’s not necessary, I have something to do this afternoon,” He doesn’t know what this producer thinks. He has been in Hong Kong for so long. Although he was considering both men and women in his last life, he is very honest in this life and there is no news of any same-sex scandals in him. What’s more, now that as long as he remembers Han Jin’s thoughts toward him, he became a little disgusted with men.

 

“Haha, that’s it, business is important, business is important!” The producer was a little embarrassed when the flattery slapped on the horse’s leg.

 

Although Zheng Jue looked like Gao Leng, he also knew how to behave in the world. Seeing that the producer was a little embarrassed, he cut off the conversation and talked with him about the filming of the TV series. The two of them were talking about the rise. However, his eyes flashed as a person walked onto the stage and his expression suddenly darkened.

 

The woman was dressed in a light yellow dress with a fair complexion, delicate eyebrows, and long curly hair that fell softly down her shoulders, which was very moving. It was Lin Su whom he had not seen for a long time.

 

It has been more than a month since Lin Su came to the company and was persuaded to leave by Susie. For more than a month, she did not come to the company to make trouble again as Susie expected but never came again. If he hadn’t passed through the previous life, he might have thought that Lin Su had given up, but this time he clearly understood that this was just a way for her to set a long line to catch big fish.

 

Although it is not well known that he invested in this TV series, he has been in the limelight these days. The tabloids in Hong Kong basically picked up all his eight generations of ancestors. This trivial matter is naturally not a problem. As a person in the showbiz industry, Lin Su is an acting artist and must know this. Since she knows that they are still auditioning, there is no doubt that she has hidden intentions.

 

Sure enough, seeing Zheng Jue’s presence, Lin Su was startled at first, and then looked at him with her limpid autumn water eyes showing tenderness, as if she wasn’t angry in the slightest. This made Zheng Jue’s heart slightly cold, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He stared at Lin Su solemnly.

 

What a good disguise! It’s just that who would have thought that behind such tenderness and sweetness is a snake’s heart. In his last life, even someone as cautious as Han Jin fell into her ecstasy before he unjustly died.

 

The producer is a clever person. He knew there was drama when he saw the situation and quickly said with a smile, “Do you know this young lady, Mr. Zheng? Would you like to talk to Director Wei?” Because of the attitude that Director Wei showed earlier, the producer said this very guiltily in one sentence.

 

Zheng Jue looked at Lin Su coldly and spit out the two blunt words, “No need.”

 

Since she likes to use these little tricks to deal with him, let him see her ability.

 

Director Wei over there watched the actor without speaking for a long time, and he couldn’t help but get angry, “If you want to audition, hurry up, but if you don’t want to audition, get out!”

 

Director Wei is short-tempered and his voice is not too small, Lin Su was shocked. Startled, she looked at Zheng Jue with the eyes of a cry for help but found that he was totally indifferent. She could not help but grit her teeth secretly. Originally, he was just a sentimental young man. Who knows that after just a year of hard work, he has become cold to herself. She must not give up!

 

“I’m sorry, director, it’s my fault…”

 

In the blink of an eye, she looked like she was about to cry. Even if his temper was as cold as Wei Mingwei, he couldn’t help but feel a little soft-hearted so his voice lowered by an octave, “It’s good if you know you’re wrong. Let’s act quickly, as there are still more people behind.”

 

……

 

Omitting Lin Su’s high or low acting skills, this appearance really made the producer on the side full of praise, “Mr. Zheng has a good vision, such a beauty is really rare.”

 

Zheng Jue sneered secretly, it’s really rare. How many beauties are there in this world who have made their families bankrupt and ruined them?

Just two days after that audition, Susie’s phone called.

 

“Mr. Zheng, Ms. Lin has come to look for you again. I gave her your hotel address. It is estimated that you are on the way now.”

 

Zheng Jue stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the lights of thousands of homes outside the window, and stretched out a long slender finger aimlessly tracing the full moon in the sky, then said unintentionally, “I see.”

 

After a long time, there was no sound from the other end of the phone, Zheng Jue frowned slightly, “Susie?”

 

“Mr. Zheng, I don’t know if I should say something,” Susie’s tone was a little hesitant.

 

Zheng Jue chuckled, “You’ve worked for me for so long, you can say anything if you have anything to say,” The one who stayed with him until the end of his last life, was only a Susie.

 

“Since Mr. Zheng said so, even if Mr. Zheng wants to fire me after his birthday, I also want to remind you that this Ms. Lin is not as simple as she seems. She used to be a famous socialite in Hong Kong. Mr. Zheng, you have to be careful!” The last sentence was especially serious.

 

On the other hand, Zheng Jue’s cold face softened in an instant. Susie seemed to have said the same in his previous life, but at that time, he didn’t believe it at all and reprimanded her instead.

 

“Don’t worry, I know her details, but there are some things I haven’t understood yet, so I still need her,” Zheng Jue turned around and sat on the sofa by the window.

 

After hearing this, Susie thought that he had not forgotten his love for Lin Su and made excuses to perfunctorily satisfy her. Therefore, even though she was uneasy, she didn’t say any more. She was a smart person and knew the bottom line of being a subordinate.

 

Within half an hour of talking to Susie, Zheng Jue’s doorbell rang.

 

At this moment, Zheng Jue was holding a glass of whiskey and sipping slowly. Hearing the sound, he put the whisky down and went to the door to open the door.

 

Sure enough, it was Lin Su.

 

But today’s Lin Su is different from the past. In the past, she was elegant and gentle, but today she is a little pitiful, with no trace of blood on her pale face, her lips were blue, and her eyes were red and swollen.

 

Zheng Jue couldn’t help frowning when she saw her, but she suddenly burst into tears, “Aaron, I thought you didn’t want me anymore!” While crying, she threw herself into Zheng Jue’s arms.

 

Zheng Jue held the door with one hand and caught her on the back, hugged her inside the door, and quickly closed the door again. He is famous now, and the paparazzi in Hong Kong always want to squeeze gossip out of him. Come on, he is not strong enough to completely control the media now, and he doesn’t want to add a joke to the people of Hong Kong after their dinner.

 

“What’s wrong with you? Didn’t the audition go well?” Zheng Jue pretended to be confused.

 

Lin Su gritted her teeth secretly, but she was still aggrieved, “What audition are you talking about? I haven’t seen you for two months. The last time I went to your company to look for you, I was stopped by Susie. She also said that I was being disrespectful. Aaron, I’m obviously dating you, how could she say that to me.”

 

This even made Susie eye roll. He didn’t believe it in his last life, let alone in this life.

 

“Susie is my secretary. How could she say such a thing? It’s because you are in the wrong. Besides, I’ve been too busy these days, so I haven’t seen you. It’s my fault. Don’t you like Hermes’ bags? Shall I buy it to make amends for you?” Zheng Jue endured the discomfort in his heart and patted her on the shoulder gently.

 

After hearing this, Lin Su knew that Susie was someone who could not be offended at will, so she closed back her tears and whispered, “Where do I want a bag, I just want you to stay with me more.”

 

Zheng Jue gently raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, “I also want to spend more time with you, but now I have too much to do, you have to be obedient, okay?” His soft tone could drown people to death, however, his eyes are indifferent.

 

Lin Su lowered her head and didn’t see Zheng Jue’s expression. She just felt that Zheng Jue still liked her in her heart. During this time, he did not do anything out of the ordinary but was really busy. She was a little confused at first, but now, her heart finally stabilized.
