I'm really good at this.

It was another morning, and Zhang Hong rode his beloved magenta scooter with Lin Muqing to the film studio.

Last night, in a cheerful mood, Lin Muqing performed a new way of dying.

She was lying in front of Zhang Hong's house with a prop dagger stuck in her head.

Zhang Hong guessed that she had been killed instantly by being stabbed in the head.

But Lin Muqing said he guessed wrong.

The real way she died was that she pretended to be dead by sticking a prop knife in her head, but actually died of heart failure caused by taking cephalosporin and drinking some alcohol.

Who the hell could have guessed that?!

The score became 3-0.

After arriving at the film set, Lin Muqing went to her office as usual.

She was going to release Lin Chuan, who had been locked up in the office all night.

There was nothing I could do. It was alright on set, as I could keep an eye on him.

But after work, once he and Zhang Hong went back, Lin Chuan was sure he could find a way to contact his father on his own.

Lin Muqing is now determined to eliminate all "anti-Zhang Hong forces"!

So Lin Chuan is the one who suffers.

The young master of the Lin family, who usually can't sleep even if there's a red bean under his Simmons mattress, was forced to spend the night curled up on a cheap sofa in his office.

So when he was out for a lookout, Zhang Hong almost didn't recognize him.

Zhang Hongyi, who had an unlit cigarette dangling from his lips, a cup of goji berry tea in his hand, and was wrapped in a military overcoat, paused for a moment when he saw him: "What's wrong, Chuan? Is something bothering you? Tell me and make your brother Hong happy."

Lin Chuan glanced at him blankly, said nothing, and stared blankly at the blue sky and white clouds.

It's not just a matter of not sleeping well; he's also under immense mental pressure.

It can be described as utterly exhausting, both mentally and physically.

These days, the most unsolvable problem is offending both sides, and being unable to provoke either of them.

First and foremost, you can't offend your own sister.

He knew his younger sister's personality; she was a formidable woman who had pinned him to the ground and beaten him when they were in kindergarten!

If it weren't for Zhang Hong, the "other people's child," she wouldn't have been able to transform from a troublemaker into a cold, aloof, and withdrawn girl who studies hard and strives for excellence every day.

Now, Brother Hong has unleashed his demonic nature once again.

If Lin offends this demon, then he, the demon's oni-san, will become the demon's meat sauce oni-san.

On the other hand, he couldn't afford to offend his father either.

No, this is an absolute slap in the face...

Not only did he expose his identity as a double agent, but he also exposed his two missions. Even more shockingly, the "devil" used his phone to tattle on him to his mother right in front of him.

If you offend your parents all at once, how can you expect to have a good outcome?

Although his family business was mainly in Africa, he disliked Africa.

The man over there is Simon, and the woman is Bohe. Who would like Bohe if he's black?

Anyway, he doesn't like it.

But now he's even less inclined to plant trees in the Sahara.

At least there are still living people in Africa. If you go to the Sahara, there won't be a single hair left!

Which rich kid went to the Sahara to plant trees?

He sometimes even doubted whether he was born into the wrong race.

Could it be that I'm not actually a rich kid?

Could it be that what my parents told me when I was a child was true?

Is it true that I was actually a child my parents picked up from a garbage dump?

Lin Chuan began to question the meaning of life.

And now, Brother Hong, you still have the nerve to ask me?

Slowly turning his head, Lin Chuan looked at Zhang Hong's handsome face, which was full of kindness and sincerity, with empty eyes, and sneered inwardly.

Brother Hong, stop pretending, it's really boring.

I've seen through your true nature.

You cunning, shameless old bastard.

I really want to kick your ass with my leather shoes.

However, you can't kick it.

He couldn't even expose Zhang Hong's true nature.

Because that "demon" is standing not far away, watching this side.

So Lin Chuan took out the half-smoked cigar he hadn't finished yesterday and slowly lit it.

After savoring the smoke in his mouth for a while, he exhaled a thick cloud of smoke, his voice weary: "Hey, Brother Hong, what is the point of living?"

The "devil" had a button-style listening device pinned to his collar; he dared not expose Zhang Hong's truth.

Zhang Hong was slightly taken aback.

Why is this rich kid suddenly contemplating life?

He carefully scanned Lin Chuan from head to toe.

Her usually sleek slicked-back hair was gone today, replaced by a head of messy, tousled hair and tired dark circles under her eyes.

His smooth chin became stubbled.

This is a man whose entire being exudes decadence.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Hong asked, puzzled. "Could it be that you suddenly met a girl who can't be won over with money, and you fell for her, only to find out she wasn't interested in you at all? So you're starting to doubt whether your past as a rich kid had any problems with your values?"

"As expected of Brother Hong, even his sarcastic remarks are so subtle." Lin Chuan sighed. "I just don't understand why people live."

"Why do people live?" Zhang Hong took out a lighter and lit the cigarette in his mouth, saying matter-of-factly, "Just to live, of course."

"That's a rather profound statement; a rich kid like me, with no brains, doesn't really understand it." Lin Chuan said expressionlessly. "Brother Hong, can you speak in a way that a human being like me can understand?"

Zhang Hong took a drag of his cigarette and said casually, "You know what? I just don't think about these kinds of questions."

Why?

"Because just to survive, you already have to give it your all."

"My family of three lived in an old house of less than 40 square meters, and now I'm the only one left there," Zhang Hong said slowly. "My dad is 53 and my mom is 47."

They are currently working in another city so they can earn more money to leave for me.

Nowadays, when girls get married, they don't just want a car and a house. Now they want a house of over 100 square meters, a car worth over 200,000 to 300,000 yuan, and a bride price.

"If you take out a mortgage of 400,000, with interest, you will have to pay back a total of one million over 30 years."

"I don't dare to take a taxi when I go out. I either ride an electric scooter or take the bus. It's best to walk for a few kilometers."

"I dare not order takeout, I dare not spend any extra money. I plan to pay for my computer, which costs four or five thousand yuan, on installment for a year. In the summer, I only have three short-sleeved shirts to rotate, and I wear the same pair of pants for a whole year. The down jacket I wear in winter was bought six years ago."

"After I receive my salary each month, I think about how much I need to spend this month and whether I can save a thousand or two thousand yuan."

"Working like crazy, working overtime after get off work, just for that thirty yuan overtime pay. Then after a month of overtime, the boss said there was no overtime pay at all, and I only dared to complain in private. When I saw the boss, I would just smile and greet him, but I didn't dare to quit or be fired. Even if I was slapped on the left cheek, I would still offer my right cheek and smile and beg to be slapped again."

"Because if you quit your job, you'll default on your mortgage, it'll affect your credit score, the bank will foreclose on your house, and you'll be homeless."

"Those who are married and have children still have to support their families."

"This is the life of an ordinary person. After paying off the mortgage in thirty years, they start to worry about where to get a new house for their children, how to pay the bride price, and how to buy a car."

Zhang Hong flicked his cigarette ash, his laughter both casual and sarcastic: "So, the question of 'why people live' is not something we ordinary folks consider, so I don't know."

Because I've never thought about it, nor have I had time to think about it.

Wouldn't it be better to use that free time to move a couple more bricks?

Lin Chuan was stunned.

Having grown up in a wealthy family, he had never thought about such a thing.

But then, thinking about his father's mission, he tentatively asked, "Then why don't you go after my sister? We're all so familiar with each other now, marrying her would save you fifty years of hard work! And I swear, my family will absolutely not interfere!"

Since we can't complete the first task, it's good to complete the second one!

Although her younger sister often looks at Hong-ge with disdain, who the hell has ever seen her go out of her way to help him like this? She even betrayed her own father and brother for him!

Moreover, when her father revealed Mission Two on the phone, she didn't say anything; in fact, her ears turned bright red!

As for the reason she gave...

A woman's mouth is a deceitful devil!

My mom always said that the prettier a woman is, the more likely she is to lie!

My younger sister is stunningly beautiful! She must be an even more cunning liar!

Therefore, Lin Chuan only believed half of her reasons at most.

That's the most I can have.

"Ha, don't be ridiculous. What do I rely on? My looks? Being handsome won't put food on the table." Zhang Hong laughed. "Lin Muqing is beautiful, has a great temperament, a great figure, and a pretty good personality. Plus, her family is incredibly wealthy. No man could resist her."

"But that's precisely why we're from two different worlds."

Zhang Hong flicked away his cigarette ash and said calmly, "Her buying a bag worth tens of thousands is like me buying a bottle of water that costs one yuan. She drives a supercar worth millions, and her cosmetics are all high-end products starting at four or five figures. Our values ​​are completely different; it's simply impossible. Since we already know the outcome, why even begin?"

"No, Hong-ge! My family doesn't care about those things!" Lin Chuan began to persuade him. "Besides, you've always been the 'perfect child' my dad talks about since you were little. They adore you! And with your talent, what's there to hesitate about? Go for it! I support you both mentally and physically!"

Hurry up and take that devil away, Brother Hong! Please!

"Talent? Heh, let me be honest, I have no talent." Zhang Hong laughed heartily. "And I'm not afraid to tell you, after this TV series is finished, I'll have nothing to do with the entertainment industry anymore. I'll find a job, work hard to earn money, then go on blind dates, get married, have children, and become an ordinary office worker."

talent?

He has no talent.

Even if he really does have some talent, so what?

In my past life, there was a director who won various awards at home and abroad at a very young age.

Then he devoted himself to his creative work. He had no job in his hometown, was supported by his parents, borrowed money from all over the place, and was gossiped about. It took him ten years to finally make a movie that grossed more than 3 billion yuan and made a fortune.

Another director sold his house to go all in on making a film, and ultimately reaped huge profits.

Don't they have talent?

Their talent is one in a million.

So?

Zhang Hong had no income for several years, yet he comfortably sponged off his parents who were working away from home, while simultaneously working hard to film movies.

Or did he sell his only old house and take several hundred thousand yuan to go all in?

Those two people succeeded in their previous lives.

Many more people failed, but no one reported it.

Lin Muqing, who had been listening silently from afar, could no longer bear to listen.

She took out her headset, unplugged the headphone cord, threw it directly into the trash can, and then turned and left.

No talent?

What about her, the one who kept chasing after me? Trash?

This is not modesty; it's just Zhang Hong's arrogant and condescending attitude.

You want to be an ordinary office worker? Then I'll make sure your TV series is a success! And then I'll watch you, this self-proclaimed intellectual, suffer there!

Unfortunately, she didn't hear what came after that.

Lin Chuan beamed with joy: "Brother Hong, are you serious? You really won't film anything else after this movie?"

Then wouldn't I, Lin, be able to complete the mission?

Brother Hong, you're not kidding me, are you?

As a complete novice, he was genuinely afraid that Brother Hong would mess with him.

As for his claim that he "has no talent"... Heh, do you think I, Lin, would give you the chance to show off?

I'm not going to engage with that at all!

"Really, why would I lie to you?" Zhang Hong laughed. "The entertainment industry? Let whoever wants to come, come! I'm leaving! If I'm still in the entertainment industry after filming this TV series, then I'm going to go after your sister!"

Is it possible that he will pursue Lin Muqing?

People from two different worlds, of course, cannot be together.

Therefore, by the same logic, after he finishes filming this movie, he will definitely leave the entertainment industry to find a job and earn money, so that he can bring his parents back to enjoy their old age as soon as possible!

Absolutely!
