How did I become famous?

Chapter 104 Picking Up a Rich Girl (Thanks to Lovecraft, the Alliance Leader!)

Don't ask me where I'm going, and don't come looking for me.

The world is so big, I want to go see it.

I'm sorry for leaving without saying goodbye, it's just that there are many things I don't know how to say to your face.

Well, actually I'm an undercover agent.

I met your father back in Los Angeles.

We made a deal back then: I would help you make a movie, but I would make it as bad as possible.

If the box office and reviews are terrible, then I'll get a whole street of storefronts behind the University of Science and Technology of Los Angeles, and an entire building in a high-end residential complex.

I couldn't resist the temptation and accepted it.

Unfortunately, this world is too surreal. I don't know why the group of "outsiders" I gathered were all industry veterans, and the movie sped off in the exact opposite direction of what I imagined, like a wild dog running free! (Sorry for the profanity).

Actually, I had a second chance, which was this movie.

But those few heart-to-heart talks suddenly made me feel a little sorry for you.

You are a child with dreams, while I am a man beaten down by reality.

Some people get hurt badly, but they can turn around and go home, then quietly lick their wounds.

But some people have no home; when they look back, all they see is a cliff.

Unfortunately, I chose reality.

But maybe this is karma? I tried so hard to make a terrible movie, but it became a hit? This entertainment industry is truly surreal!

This film, "The Shadow of Light," is a bet I made with myself. I've done my best and left the rest to fate. If I still can't stop it after this, then it's just destiny that's making me enter the entertainment industry.

As it turns out, the timing, location, and people were all definitely not on my side!

Okay, I admit it.

I don't want the house anymore, I don't want anything, I just want to live a peaceful life.

Although I became famous for starring in two movies in a row, and my song can top the singles charts, and even my lyrics can be selected for textbooks, I am just an ordinary person with no real talent.

I left you a few songs, but I didn't finish writing most of them because I only know half of one.

If you want it, just finish the melody and lyrics yourself. If seeing my stuff makes you feel disgusted, just throw it away.

However, those two bank cards belong to someone else. They contain the two million your dad gave me, and half of what I shared with you when I wrote songs and poems.

I hope you can break free from your father's cage and do what you want to do.

Please leave.

Su Mulin remained expressionless as she took out her phone and dialed the number.

The number you dialed is currently switched off.

She put down her phone and picked up the stack of papers filled with song lyrics and sheet music underneath the letter.

She didn't speak or show any expression; she just quietly looked at the song titles and lyrics.

"sunny"?

On this windy day, I tried holding your hand.

But then, the rain began to fall.

So big that I can't even see you.

How much longer until I can be by your side?

But at the end of the story, you still seemed to say goodbye.

This lyric

Miss Su felt a pang in her heart.

She composed herself and continued reading.

"Sea of ​​Flowers"?

I don't want you to leave; distance can't separate us. My longing for you has become an ocean, unable to enter through the window.

There are also a series of unfinished songs such as "At Least I Still Have You", "Unfortunately It's Not You", "Hostage", "The One I Miss", "Betrayal", "Not That Easy", "Unfortunately There's No If", "Lying", "Writing Poems for You", and so on.

Su Mulin clenched the white paper in her hand, which was covered with writing but was now soaked with sweat.

Through her blurry vision, she seemed to see again that lazy guy with a cigarette in his mouth, grinning mischievously at her.

"Fool."

As expected, Xi Xi was right!

Artistic youths like Fang Bie like to express their thoughts in songs, often hiding them in their writing.

Earlier they said they needed to get those houses to make bad movies.

They were all just trying to annoy me and make me give up, right?

But you put your heartfelt feelings into these songs, how could I still be angry with you?

Intentionally making bad movies?

How can deliberately making bad movies lead to a series of blockbuster hits?

This isn't a novel.

Even a novel wouldn't be this far-fetched.

Maybe he went to Hollywood? He said that on purpose so that I wouldn't catch up with him?

Perhaps he simply doesn't want to be exposed to the glamorous yet dark side of the entertainment industry? Is a life facing the sea with spring flowers in bloom what he truly desires?

He had once expressed to me the huge contrast between our social statuses.

Maybe he thinks of himself as a shallow girl who relies on her family background, so he looks down on her?

Maybe

Countless "maybes" flashed through her mind, but the young lady had no intention of giving up.

Fang Bie, you think that my life of luxury makes it impossible for me to stay true to my dreams? Then I'll show you how!

You think I can only rely on my background? Then I'll show you with my own abilities!

You think I don't need you?

I'm not that strong, I need you.

The young lady smiled slightly.

It is said that first love is bittersweet and destined to be unfulfilled.

But the word "give up" doesn't exist in my dictionary, Su Mulin's dictionary!

I want to become a big star, I want to live the life I want!

I will never give up on my first love!

She carefully folded the crumpled paper in her hand and put it into her bag.

Since you've put your heart into these songs that are only half-written, I'll finish the rest!

I will also put my feelings into the song of my other half!

With a determined look in her eyes, Su Mulin turned and left the room.

She was going to wait for him at the place where they first met.

She knew he would always come back.

No matter how long it takes, she will wait.

Then, after waiting for him, she told him in person that she would finish the remaining half of the song.

So he can't leave until she finishes the song.

I opened my eyes to an unfamiliar ceiling.

Fang Bie stood up and stretched his aching body, rubbed his still throbbing head, and groped his way to the kitchen to get some water.

This is where Wu Qiong lives.

The three of them chatted for most of the night last night. Wu Qiong said he wanted to celebrate his return, so he brought out some wine to drink.

The result was a mix of white wine, beer, red wine, and champagne.

Fang Bie was knocked out before he could drink much.

His last thought was that Wu Qiong and Lin Bei downed half a glass of baijiu in one gulp, and he had no choice but to finish it in one go as well.

He knew nothing after that.

When he arrived in the kitchen, he found Wu Qiong already wearing an apron and making breakfast.

Hearing the noise behind him, Wu Qiong turned around and smiled slightly: "Awake? Go wake Xiao Lin up, breakfast will be ready soon."

Fang peeked over and saw him spreading strawberry jam on a slice of bread. Next to him were three bottles of mineral water.

"You have to wear an apron when you're spreading jam on bread?"

"Life needs a sense of ritual." Wu Qiong paused, tossed him a bottle of water, "I used to never eat breakfast. If it weren't for seeing you drink it and then throw it up, I wouldn't even have bread."

Fang remained silent, then twisted open the bottle cap and took a sip.

Wu Qiong put down the bread he was holding and handed him a cigarette: "Would you mind if we talked?"

Fang glanced at him and followed him to the living room to sit down.

Fang Bie leaned closer to the lighter in Wu Qiong's hand, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag: "What are you talking about?"

"Hmm, let me think." Wu Qiong recalled what Fang Bie had said while crying and shouting after drinking too much last night.

The strange things included phrases like "my house," "my storefront," "my two million," "I want to go back to work but I can't," "I don't have a villa at the bottom of the river, don't sink me," "I'm not stupid, don't open a hole," and "I don't want a house or money anymore, Su Mulin, if you don't become a big star, how can you do this to me?"

Who is Su Mulin?

Fang paused slightly, holding the cigarette between his fingers, and said irritably, "None of your business."

He paused, then sighed, "The last time you called me on our blind date, I found a girl on my way home. That girl is Su Mulin."

It's all because of Wu Qiong's bad luck!

If he hadn't cursed her on the phone after their blind date with something like, "Do you think a long-legged, mature woman will fall from the sky and appear for you when you get home?", she might never have met Su Mulin!

If I hadn't run into her, would I still be so conflicted?

Since they never owned those properties, there's no question of losing them.

But those properties were right in front of me, and I just watched them disappear.

It would have been better if this had never happened in the first place!

It wouldn't allow him to spend such a magical few months.

"This is just concern from your buddy." Wu Qiong exhaled a smoke ring. "By the way, what does 'want to go back to work but can't' mean? If you go back to the company, our manager will be laughing in his sleep."

"Go back my ass!" Fang Bie sighed. "I've offended the boss of the Su Group, as well as their two sons and daughter. Our company was just acquired by the Su Group last year. Wouldn't it be like walking into a trap if I went back?"

"..." Wu Qiong maintained his smile. "Well, I have a request, but I'm not sure if I should say it."

"put!"

"Mr. Fang, could you please leave my house gracefully now, and then we can block each other and go our separate ways peacefully?"

"."

Wu Qiong smiled innocently: "I wonder if it's too late to say I don't know you now."

What exactly did this kid do to offend the entire Su Group boss's family?

Su Mulin. Could this be Boss Su's daughter? And what did Fang Bie do to her that he shouldn't have?

Holy crap! This kid's got some nerve!

Fang was dumbfounded: "No way! Aren't we brothers? I didn't say anything when you used my meal card every day before, and now you're not even going to care about our friendship?"

"I'm sorry," Wu Qiong nodded politely. "We're just friends on the surface. Lots of people have treated me to meals. If everyone were my brother, wouldn't I have brothers all over the world?"

"You son of a bitch"

"I'm not kidding anymore." Wu Qiong's expression suddenly turned serious. "What you did wasn't illegal, was it?"

If it's illegal, then I'll have no choice but to put aside my own family ties and send him to the authorities for questioning.

"What did I do?" Fang Bie said dejectedly, "It's definitely not illegal, but it offended people, you know that."

"That's not a big problem." Wu Qiong got up to go inside and wake Lin Bei. "I still have over 300,000 yuan in savings, and Lin Bei has about the same. The three of us can scrape together over a million yuan. Let's book our plane tickets tonight, leave Los Angeles, and find a small place to make indie games."

As long as you don't break the law, there's nothing to be afraid of.

Could these three heroes really submit to the hands of the wealthy?

Fang was overjoyed: "You're willing to quit your jobs and work with me on indie games?"

He wants to make Minecraft!

This game is definitely going to make a lot of money!

And the three of them are absolutely capable of doing it!

Fang Bie was filled with hope for the future.

"Alright, go tell Xiaolin to get ready. I'll go home and pack, then we'll leave today!"

"It's not a big problem." Watching him leave in a hurry, Wu Qiong laughed behind him, "Just hope you don't go back and pick up some girl again."

Fang waved his hand: "What nonsense! I'm telling you, if I manage to pick up a pretty girl this time, I'll just go after her and make her my girlfriend!"

"This kid," Wu Qiong shook his head and went back to wake Lin Bei up.

Fang rushed home in a great hurry.

He was extremely anxious at that moment.

Time is money, time is life!

The young lady has probably already seen her letter.

If this drags on any longer and Old Man Su and the others realize what's happening, I'm afraid I'll really be finished!

But when he got to his own doorstep, he was dumbfounded.

Because next to his own security door, there was a girl with long, straight black hair sitting there with her arms wrapped around her knees.

Although her face was buried in her arms.

But Fang Bie still recognized her at a glance.

She is Su Mulin!

P.S.: Extra chapter! I really have no more drafts left!
