Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

Li Haoyu smiled.

He felt the time was right, so he stopped pressing Fan Shengmei for answers.

But Fan Shengmei remained silent.

She sensed Li Haoyu's sharp edge once again.

That's a kind of sharpness that only the wealthy possess.

However, this is something most guys can't imitate. Unless you have the resources, don't try this, or you might get slapped by a girl.

The reason Fan Shengmei endured it all was because there was a huge gap in their economic conditions.

Fan Shengmei herself knew very well that she was hardly a good match for Li Haoyu; therefore, she couldn't say anything.

This is just like what Fan Shengmei encountered at the matchmaking market.

Boys who own cars and boys who don't are in two different leagues.

But we can still make comparisons.

But Li Haoyu's wealth has gone far beyond just luxury cars; it has reached the level of private jets. These are worlds apart.

Therefore, she could only endure Li Haoyu.

Therefore, Fan Shengmei did not dare to lash out at Li Haoyu's unreasonable question.

She could only keep giving herself psychological suggestions, trying to imagine that Li Haoyu was the leader she was reporting to at work.

Fan Shengmei managed to maintain a semblance of calm.

The atmosphere was a bit somber.

Instead of trying to comfort Fan Shengmei, Li Haoyu suggested, "How about we play some games?"

Fan Shengmei said awkwardly, "What kind of games can we play in a place like this? Golf, perhaps?"

"You know, they do have golf, but it's indoors, so it's not very interesting. I'll take you to play outdoors next time, for real."

Li Haoyu took out a sieve from under the table.

"We'll just play the simplest game of dice rolling, but to make the game a little more interesting, I'll add something extra."

"First, if you lose, you only need to drink half a glass; if I lose, I need to drink two. If I drink more than ten glasses, I lose, and then I'll give you a mystery gift."

"I guarantee you'll be satisfied with that mysterious gift. If you're not, it's up to you. Interested in having some fun?"

Li Haoyu said this with a smile on his lips.

Fan Shengmei was surprised that Li Haoyu would say such a thing, and with such confidence.

Aren't you afraid of being proven wrong by her?

But Fan Shengmei still agreed.

"Fine, then I'll play a couple of rounds with you." Fan Shengmei was still somewhat unconvinced.

There's nothing she can do if she can't compete with others, but when it comes to something like dice that relies on luck, she's unlikely to lose everything.

Fan Shengmei accepted it with great confidence this time.

She didn't even care about Li Haoyu's amused look; losing just meant having a drink.

Fan Shengmei's face radiated unprecedented confidence.

This left Li Haoyu speechless.

"Ladies first, you may begin."

Fan Shengmei picked up the sieve and examined it carefully.

They seem to be trying to determine if there's anything fishy about this thing.

Li Haoyu didn't take it seriously.

"I wouldn't stoop to tampering with something like this. Besides, these dice cups belong to the club; there are them under every table. If you're worried, you can just pick one."

"I fully understand you, anyway, it won't affect the final result."

Fan Shengmei was shocked to hear Li Haoyu look down on her like that.

She bit her lip.

Fan Shengmei felt that he completely looked down on her.

She was even tempted to flip the table and leave.

However, she could only think about it; she forced herself to suppress it.

"Then I'll have to check it carefully."

Instead of being provoked by Li Haoyu's words, Fan Shengmei examined the object even more carefully.

This actually made Li Haoyu think more highly of him.

At least Fan Shengmei's desire to win is commendable.

Li Haoyu even offered, "If you're still not comfortable with that, I can wear gloves when I roll the dice. That should put your mind at ease, right?"

Fan Shengmei seemed to want to say something more.

Li Haoyu interrupted her directly: "If you still don't have confidence, you should just give up. I can't chop your hand off."

"That's enough."

Fan Shengmei answered with considerable confidence.

Actually, she's quite skilled at playing dice; her panic just now was all an act, which is one of her specialties.

As a result... Fan Shengmei lost five games in a row.

Her expression had become blank.

Fan Shengmei found it hard to accept her defeat; she had lost miserably!

This made Li Haoyu, who was standing to the side, want to laugh.

He acknowledged Fan Shengmei's efforts.

However, not everything can be changed through hard work; otherwise, his Cloud-Piercing Hand would be nothing but a decoration.

This can't be considered cheating, since the simulator only gave him the skills. But Li Haoyu did put in a lot of hard work to develop those skills.

Fan Shengmei, completely unaware of Li Haoyu's inner thoughts, was naturally oblivious.

Fan Shengmei is someone who can afford to lose.

She held her breath and poured herself three glasses of wine, drinking them all in one go.

Li Haoyu smiled when he saw how readily she agreed.

"Drink slowly, there's a lot to drink. I'm not asking you to finish it right away. You're making it sound like I'm abusing you."

Fan Shengmei also rolled her eyes at Li Haoyu.

Is this an attempt to persuade her?

He was just trying to provoke her; that was really annoying!

Li Haoyu's smile never stopped as he said this.

This made Fan Shengmei feel like she had fallen into a trap.

Seeing this, Li Haoyu picked up his wine glass and took a few small sips.

"I don't need your pity. I, Fan Shengmei, am not a sore loser. I can hold my liquor, so there's no need for your hypocritical act."

Fan Shengmei drank a few glasses of wine and became slightly tipsy.

She suddenly became more assertive.

"Then you've misunderstood me. I was just thirsty and wanted to have a couple of sips."

Fan Shengmei was now in an awkward situation.

When Li Haoyu said that...

She suddenly realized that she had made a mistake.

Once she got caught up in the competitive spirit, Fan Shengmei forgot that her original goal was to pick up men. Her original plan was to lure Li Haoyu over and have some kind of romantic encounter between them.

Fan Shengmei was willing to take such drastic measures.

She posted revealing photos to lure Li Haoyu over, but things have turned out completely differently than she expected.

It's now like a competition, which is completely contrary to her original purpose.

This won't do!

Because Fan Shengmei had long understood one thing: although wealth and beauty are both scarce resources, the public's attitude towards the two is vastly different.

The reason is simple: there are far more beautiful people than rich people. Beautiful women are like leeks; every year, a large number of young and beautiful women are harvested.

But wealthy men won't; that's basically a given.

Because wealth is a social resource, and society is structured like a pyramid, where the success of one general is built on the bones of countless others.

A financially independent entrepreneur is the result of countless years of struggle and hard work, with countless bones lying behind their success.

Even if the number of wealthy men increases, it's still a drop in the ocean compared to the number of beautiful women. Their scarcity is on completely different levels.

Even if she wins, so what?

Furthermore, given the current situation, it's highly likely that I'll struggle to secure even one victory.

This put Fan Shengmei in a dilemma.
