This director is vindictive.

Chapter 458 A Billion-Dollar Bet: Social Death Play VS Shameful Play
"How about we make a bet?" Chen Mo asked her with a mischievous smile.

Fan Binbin crossed his arms and stared at Chen Mo with suspicion, saying warily, "What mischief are you up to now? You're smiling like a fox."

Chen Mo shrugged, his tone relaxed yet provocative: "What, afraid to gamble? Afraid of losing?"

"Ha, a clumsy attempt at reverse psychology?" Fan Binbin raised an eyebrow, but quickly smiled. "Fine, let's bet! If you lose, the wedding scene will have to have a new plot added—"

She deliberately dragged out her words, her eyes gleaming with a sly yet excited light: "The Empress sits on her phoenix throne, and you kneel down to wash her feet, and it has to be a close-up!"

Chen Mo's lips twitched, and a vein throbbed on his forehead: "Are you serious?"

Although he wasn't that chauvinistic in this regard, thinking that it was acceptable for women to wash men's feet but not for men to bring women water to wash their feet, he didn't care what happened in private. But after all, it was something that was filmed for everyone to see.

God knows how those people will talk about him then.

Fan Binbin raised his chin smugly: "What, can't you handle this?"

Then he reached out and hooked his arm around Chen Mo's neck, saying provocatively, "Didn't you propose the bet first?"

Chen Mo took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, saying, "Fine! But if you lose—"

He suddenly leaned closer, lowered his voice, and said with a hint of ambiguous teasing: "You have to wear all the 'battle robes' and 'equipment' I ordered, especially the battle-damaged version of the Empress's battle robe that I customized, hehe."

Fan Binbin's ears instantly turned bright red, and she punched him in embarrassment and anger: "You big jerk, Chen Mo! You...you planned this all along, didn't you?!"

Thinking of the so-called battle-damaged Empress's battle robe that Chen Mo had customized, as well as those "equipment," she felt terrible!

But now the arrow is on the string and we have no choice but to release it!
Chen Mo shrugged, a mischievous grin spreading across his face: "Likewise, who told you to bring up washing feet first?"

Chen Mo stopped pretending at this point and looked completely confident. How could he not be confident?
If a reborn person doesn't even have this much confidence, then that's a disgrace to the reborn person, you know?

Fan Binbin, on the contrary, felt a little uneasy because of Chen Mo's confident demeanor.

However, what's said is said, and it's too late to take it back now.

Then, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she abruptly broke free from Chen Mo's embrace. She grabbed her phone and quickly created a group chat: "Sisters, come quick! Director Chen is giving away some perks!"

"What are you doing?" Chen Mo asked, glancing at her furtively.

"What? Scared? I'm just giving you a perk, aren't I?" Fan Binbin said slyly.

Chen Mo was speechless. Good grief, how big of a game are they playing?
Not long after, Yang Mi burst through the door in high heels, followed closely by Zhang Yuqi carrying a watermelon.

Zhao Liying, Liu Yifei, and Gao Yuanyuan all sent video calls immediately.

In the footage, Zhao Liying's ancient costume hairstyle was still in place, clearly indicating that she was filming on set.

Meanwhile, Liu Yifei was petting an American Shorthair cat.

Gao Yuanyuan is still wearing a face mask.

The last one to arrive was Jing Tian, ​​who was still in her pajamas and yawning.

"Tian Tian, ​​what's wrong with you?" Chen Mo asked curiously.

"Huh? I called up my mom last night because she was short of a mahjong player, and we played all night. I didn't get enough sleep today, so..." Jing Tian said somewhat embarrassedly.

However, Chen Mo was both amused and touched.

The main point is that the "mom" Jing Tian mentioned is his mother.

"Alright, everyone's here. Sister Binbin, tell me quickly, what kind of perks is our Director Chen going to give out that requires an all-night meeting?" Zhang Yuqi, an impatient person, asked while scooping watermelon to feed Chen Mo.

Fan Binbin slammed his phone on the coffee table, and the screen prominently displayed the trending hashtag #NeZha2BillionYuanBoxOffice#.
"Look, this guy insists that 'Ne Zha 2' will really break 10 billion yuan, and he's even placed a bet!"

She glanced at Chen Mo sideways: "Sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone, right?"

Yang Mi immediately sensed trouble brewing, her fox-like eyes narrowing: "So... you want to drag us into this?"

Fan Binbin smiled and said, "That's right, how could I forget my sisters for such a good thing?"

"Or do you think he's not just bragging?"

Clearly, she still didn't believe that Chen Mo's prediction of 10 billion could actually come true.

"A single film grossing 10 billion? Isn't that just hype? You're not telling me you're serious, are you?" Yang Mi looked at Chen Mo in astonishment.

Chen Mo shrugged and said, "Anyway, whether you believe it or not, that's how I feel!"

"How did you gamble?" Yang Mi's foxy eyes flashed with a hint of excitement, as if she were about to stir up trouble.

"The bet between him and me was that if he lost, he would add more scenes to my wedding—well, he would have to bring me water to wash my feet and serve me!" Fan Binbin said smugly.

"Tsk tsk, as expected of you, Sister Binbin, this idea is really brilliant!" Yang Mi said with shining eyes.

Liu Tianxian suddenly interrupted in the video: "Wait, what exactly is the bet?"

Chen Mo casually interjected: "Simple, it's just the box office of 'Ne Zha 2'!"

"Wait, Sister Binbin, what's the stake if you lose?" Liu Yifei asked cautiously.

"You're not going to be wearing battle robes and carrying equipment, are you?" Zhang Yuqi suddenly blurted out. "Battle robes? Equipment?" Suddenly, all the women blushed.

The entire group, both online and offline, unanimously spat at Chen Mo.

They clearly already knew what it was.

However, they quickly looked at Zhang Yuqi with some suspicion: "How did you know?" they all asked in unison.

Zhang Yuqi, however, nonchalantly scooped up a spoonful of watermelon and crunched it down, saying, "So what? This guy only has those same old tricks, right? He really has no creativity in this area!"

"Oh, it seems our Tiger Girl has already experienced it all?" Yang Mi said jokingly.

"I've tried on the battle robes, but I don't know anything else. I think it's worth a gamble, what do you guys think?" Zhang Yuqi suddenly chuckled.

However, not everyone is as bold as Zhang Yuqi.

She's usually the most unconventional, while the "Fairy Sister" is much more reserved.

Her video suddenly went black, and a few seconds later a muffled voice came through: "I suddenly remembered that my mother is going to LA, and I have to go with her to take care of some things!"

Jing Tian's situation was even more bizarre; she simply lay down on the table and fell asleep. It's unclear whether she was truly asleep or just pretending, but the timing was impeccable.

A voice came from Zhao Liying's video: "I suddenly remembered I still have a night shoot. You guys chat, I'm leaving first!"

Fan Binbin suddenly sensed something was wrong. When it came to understanding Chen Mo, no one knew better than Jing Tian and Zhao Liying.

These two had been with Chen Mo the longest. As for Liu Yifei, she was probably too shy. But the fact that one of them suddenly pretended to be asleep and the other ran away clearly showed that they felt their chances of winning were slim. Otherwise, they wouldn't have run away so decisively.

She was initially full of confidence, but suddenly she lost it.

Then she tried to sneak away, but Chen Mo was quick-witted and grabbed Fan Binbin who was trying to slip away.

"Trying to run now?" Chen Mo grinned maliciously. "Who was it that just said they wanted to add a scene where they served water to the Empress to wash her feet? And had her kneel down to do it, huh?"

At this moment, Gao Yuanyuan, who had been silent all along, suddenly turned off the video.

Clearly, this person was the most shrewd; they simply ran away without leaving a word.

Yang Mi and Zhang Yuqi, the remaining two, were alright. Zhang Yuqi, that fierce woman, was truly fearless.

Yang Mi is really stubborn!
Although Fan Binbin chickened out at this moment, Chen Mo was not willing to let him go.

"Binbin, show your Fan Bingbing style, what are you afraid of? I don't believe it, if we're going to play, let's play big—if the box office doesn't reach 10 billion, you'll dress up as a woman and dance 'Gokuraku Jodo' for us!" This ruthlessness is a big secret!

Upon hearing Yang Mi's words, Chen Mo was immediately dismayed.

Good grief, he dressed up as a woman and danced to Gokuraku Jodo. Although he did dress up as a woman back then, that time was really embarrassing.
If she were to wear women's clothing and dance to Gokuraku Jodo again, that would be...
However, Chen Mo quickly regained his composure. "What am I afraid of! I have the advantage!"

Zhang Yuqi seemed to have been inspired as well: "Hahaha, not only crossdressing, but also how about cosplaying as Nezha doing a handstand while washing his hair? Hahaha!"

Chen Mo was speechless. What the heck?

I am a billionaire tycoon, a big shot in the entertainment industry, and you actually want me to cosplay Nezha and wash my hair upside down? That's practically turning the world upside down!
Fan Binbin was so enraged by Yang Mi and Zhang Yuqi's back-and-forth that he blurted out, "Let's bet! Chen Mo, if you lose, not only will you kneel down and wash my feet, but you'll also have to wear a Lolita dress and dance to 'Gokuraku Jodo,' and you'll have to do a live-streamed handstand while washing your hair with a topknot like Nezha's!"

She deliberately poked Chen Mo's chest with her fingernail: "I'll personally apply hair gel for you then, I guarantee it'll be even stronger than the Universe Ring!"

"Fuck!"

Chen Mo nearly slid off the sofa, his finger trembling as he pointed at the three women: "Are you all conspiring to murder your husband?"

He could already picture himself wearing a lace-trimmed dress, with messy hair, doing a handstand and exposing himself—the Weibo server would probably explode.

Yang Mi, with her legs crossed, reached for the spoon in Zhang Yuqi's hand and scooped up a mouthful of watermelon, a smirk playing on her red lips: "Scared? It's not too late to admit defeat~"

She deliberately drew out the last syllable of her voice like a small hook: "As long as you admit to bragging, we'll immediately change the bet."

She suddenly lowered her voice and whispered something in Chen Mo's ear, causing the man's ear tips to instantly flush.

"Bullshit! You think I'd lose?"

Chen Mo slapped Fan Binbin's large millstone, which made her glare angrily.

Chen Mo, however, exuded an air of dominance: "We'll bet! But the stakes have to be raised—"

He glared fiercely at Fan Binbin: "If the box office breaks 150 billion, the three of you will all do as I say, hehehe!"

"150 billion?!" Zhang Yuqi spat out the watermelon she had just eaten.

"Chen Mo, are you out of your mind? 10 billion is already unbelievable, and you're talking about 150?"

Before she could finish speaking, Yang Mi covered her mouth. She was completely speechless at this tiger woman. Whose side are you on anyway?
Then, with a sly glint in his eye, he declared, "Deal!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand, and Chen Mo slapped it hard.

Then he bit Fan Binbin hard on the face and burst into wild laughter: "Hahaha!"

His sudden reaction sent a chill down the spines of all three women.

After all, Chen Mo's reaction was completely different before and after, and he seemed to be full of confidence. Could he really be that confident?
One hundred billion? And then they increased it to one hundred and fifty billion? Are you kidding me?
