I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 552 The Dream of a Millionaire
"Then, she suddenly asked me if I had a roommate named Shangguan Yu, and I said yes, wait a minute."

Su Chengyi adjusted the backrest of the passenger seat and found a comfortable position.

"Well, what happens next?"

Chen Jinzhi's voice came from the receiver. There was a faint noise from her end, but her voice was still clear.

"After that, she suddenly burst into laughter for no apparent reason, like the effect of being infected by some kind of laughing poison in a martial arts drama. Can you imagine it?"

Su Chengyi continued.

Chen Jinzhi was obviously amused by his wild associations, and there was a hint of smile in his tone.

"Of course you can."

"I'm not exaggerating. She laughed for at least five minutes. I couldn't help it and asked her what was so funny. She said that a girl she knew was my roommate's girlfriend."

When Su Chengyi talks about this incident again, he still finds it a little unbelievable.

That’s right, Shangguan Yu’s legendary rich girlfriend is one of Jian Xiao’s girlfriends in Beijing.

就是李韬口中的那个开保时捷Taycan的富婆，4974x2144x1409轴距2904前轮距1717后轮距1698整备质量2300kg的保时捷Taycan。

It means "a particularly beautiful girl".

"Do you think this world is too small?"

Su Chengyi couldn't help but sigh again.

"Right."

Chen Jinzhi smiled gently. She held the script in her hand and flipped the pages casually.

Today is the day she officially arrives at the Caroline crew for an audition.

She had already memorized the dialogues in the script, so there was no need to review it again, but holding it in her hands always made her feel more secure.

Unlike previous events where she had her own lounge, as a passerby who came to audition for an insignificant role, she could only wait in a rest shed not far away.

This rest shed was originally prepared for the extras who would be recruited later, but before the day when the extras were needed arrived, it was temporarily left idle, allowing the actors who came to audition for supporting roles to take a break and avoid the sun.

Chen Jinzhi wore a hat and a mask, and a light blue sun protection suit, the kind that costs 39.9 yuan on Xixi with free shipping. She sat in the innermost corner, and no passerby recognized her as Iris.

Next door was a large foam box containing today's lunch boxes. Chen Jinzhi sniffed and smelled the air filled with the scent of mapo tofu and braised chicken legs.

Very good, saves another meal.

Everyone in the crew was very busy, and all kinds of noisy sounds mixed with messy footsteps passed by her.

Chen Jinzhi arrived very early and witnessed the crew's series of preparations before the audition.

She silently memorized most of the process. Sometimes the staff would use industry jargon when talking to each other, and if she didn't understand something, she would just lower her head and search on Baidu herself.

Well-known actors in the circle kept passing by her with their teams, with such a huge momentum that they looked like a huge black cloud.

Chen Jinzhi looked at the indifferent faces that were not friendly as they passed by her, and silently searched on the browser for "xx actor's famous works and unpopular masterpieces", and read a few interview reports at the same time.

Of course, she did not forget to check the public reputation and awards of these works, and even carefully browsed several popular film reviews.

This is the necessary preparation. It never goes wrong to plan ahead.

The God of Workplace, Ms. Iris Chen Jinzhi, once said:

Of course, a man named Su, whose social skills are approaching zero, would not know what Chen Jinzhi is busy with at the moment.

He only knew that today was the audition day, and that the supporting role would have to wait until the audition for the main role was over. He thought that Chen Jinzhi would be bored waiting alone, so he called early.

As we chatted, we mentioned what happened a few days ago.

Apart from the part related to Miss Chu, Su Chengyi also talked about Xu Yang's kidney stone attack and how Jian Xiao was ordered to come and visit him afterwards.

Of course, there are also extremely bloody developments afterwards.

"You mean, your bestie's boyfriend is my roommate?"

Su Chengyi found it a little unbelievable.

"I will correct the following two points. First, we are not close friends, but just acquaintances who occasionally get together."

Jian Xiao smiled mysteriously, casually lifted the ends of her burgundy hair, and her every move was very charming.

To be honest, if she did this under normal circumstances, some boys would stare at her in amazement, but the three male classmates in front of her were obviously more ignorant of romance than the other.

The three of them sat in a row on a bench in the hospital, just wanting to eat melon seriously.

For no reason, Jian Xiao thought of a picture on the Internet, which was a funny emoticon package of a Shiba Inu, a Husky, and a Samoyed peeking out from the wall.

"Hey, I know, it's a gathering of socialites!"

Xu Yang had an expression that said "I understand this".

"Shut up."

Jian Xiao rolled his eyes at him mercilessly.

"What about the second point?"

Su Chengyi asked, he was only interested in the matter itself.

"Secondly, your roommate can't really be considered her boyfriend."

Jian Xiao tilted his head and thought about how to describe it.

"Generally speaking, since I met this rich woman, she has never had a serious boyfriend. She does date young boys, but they are just dates. I am being subtle, do you understand?"

She was very conservative in her words.

Su Chengyi cleared his throat to show his understanding.

Lin Tong scratched his head, a little confused.

Xu Yang said in his loud voice:

"It's just a hookup!"

"."

"."

"."

As soon as these words were spoken, people around looked at him sideways.

"It's one-sided."

Jian Xiao raised his hand and twisted Xu Yang's ear hard. He cried out "Ouch" and begged for mercy.

"Well, it doesn't seem right to summarize it as a simple physical relationship.

She would give her dates a large sum of pocket money every month and give them expensive gifts on holidays. Her only requirement was that the other party could provide her with emotional value.

This sounds complicated, but it actually means accompanying her to dinner and movies, and being able to be her male companion during gatherings with friends, that's all."

"Sponsor, sponsor?"

Lin Tong said cautiously.

Xu Yang covered his ears and added:
"It's the legendary secret rich woman. I don't want to work hard anymore."

"It's better to say that I have a customized boyfriend for myself."

Su Chengyi thought about it and gave a more objective evaluation.

"Yeah, that's about it. Anyway, there's definitely no real affection, but it's definitely acceptable on the surface."

Jian Xiao nodded approvingly, agreeing with what he said.

"Besides, this rich woman is young, beautiful, generous, sensible and not clingy. It's not shameful to date such a person, right?"

"Too."

If it were a aunt in her 40s or 50s, people might still hesitate. In this case, hesitating for even a second would be disrespectful to the rich woman.

Su Chengyi thought about it and felt that Shangguan Yu’s behavior was understandable.

Just ask, who can refuse a beautiful sister who invites you to dinner? !
"Finally, let me tell you a little gossip secret."

Jian Xiao sighed lightly, but the smile on his face showed that he was enjoying the fun.

"I'm afraid your roommate's superficial relationship is about to end."

"Oh."

Su Chengyi nodded, thinking that Shangguan must have realized that it was not right to continue like this, and he should get out of the wonderful illusion of living off his wife and re-immerse himself in the exciting and challenging university life.

"Because the rich woman has taken a fancy to another pretty boy from the school next door to you."

Jian Xiao said with a smile.

Su Chengyi: “.” How could things turn out like this?
However, the pretty boy from the neighboring school. When these two words are put together, it is hard not to think too much.

"I heard he's very handsome, the type that a 900 millionaire's dream woman would have."

Jian Xiao continued to add.

Su Chengyi's heart skipped a beat, wow!
He didn't know why, but as soon as Jian Xiao used this description, his intuition told him that his guess must be correct.

It’s certainly a small world.

Su Chengyi silently opened his mobile phone, found the name "Zou Lian" in the contact list, and then changed his note to "The dream of a 900 million rich woman."

Then I took a screenshot and sent it to him.

One minute later.

The dream of a 900 millionaire: "."

"Su Chengyi, what are you doing crazy again?!"

“%￥#%￥#@!&*& (obscene words)”

Su Chengyi thought for a while and replied:

"Promise me that you will reject bad temptations, okay?"

Hearing his puzzling words, Zou Lian, whose arms were sore from shaking the milk tea in the milk tea shop for a long time, couldn't help but fall silent.

He raised his eyes and glanced at the woman in the corner of the milk tea shop who was winking at him.

This customer must have some mental problem. He came to the store early in the morning, sat down, ordered a lot of desserts and put them on the table but didn't eat them. He just stared at him and smiled.

And every time she took an order, she would deliberately show the Porsche key in her hand.

This has been going on for several days in a row, with persistence.

Zou Lian originally just thought it was a little strange, but he also felt that there were so many weird people in the world and it was not a big deal.

But after seeing Su Chengyi's words today, he suddenly realized.

Zou Lian was silent for a few seconds again, then he took off his milk tea shop apron expressionlessly and turned back to the staff locker room.

"Your friend Dream of a 60 Millionaire Woman sent you a -second voice message."

"59s voice bar."

"58s voice bar."

Su Chengyi looked at the message prompts that kept popping up on the screen, and he knew that one minute was not Zou Lian's limit, but the limit of the voice bar.

But he didn't listen.

Just let classmate Zou Lian stand there helplessly and furiously.

"That's just the way it is."

After Su Chengyi finished telling this rather tortuous story, he looked at the changing scenery outside the window and felt a little tired from saying so many words at once.

However, Chen Jinzhi listened very carefully, and even laughed a few times after hearing the ending, which made people feel that it was not in vain.

"Will it be a little awkward when you see your roommate after that?"

"Nope."

Su Chengyi yawned and said:
"Anyway, their relationship is just for mutual benefit. He's already grown up, so he won't be stupid enough to really fall in love with her, right? It's a good thing that it ends sooner rather than later."

"Teacher Su, things are unpredictable."

Chen Jinzhi uttered these words slowly.

Su Chengyi, who was originally very sure about this, suddenly felt that the situation seemed not so stable.

Chen Jinzhi was holding the phone, and was about to say something else, but when he saw his assistant Lulu trotting into the shed from under the sun with a bottle of mineral water, he paused for a moment and said:

"I'll call you back later."

"it is good."

Su Chengyi knew that she was on the set at the moment and must have a lot of chores to do, so he quickly agreed.

Chen Jinzhi said "hmm" and hung up the phone. Her timing was very accurate, and Lulu just happened to be in front of her.

Although the temperature was not as hot as in August, she was still sweating and panting while running under the sun.

"Wait and see, there's no rush."

Chen Jinzhi took the bottle of water from her hand and said gently.

Lulu nodded, rolled up her sleeves and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

She felt a little annoyed at the moment. As a personal assistant who had been with Chen Jinzhi for such a long time, she still tended to get anxious and flustered when encountering things, and was not as emotionally stable as her own artists.

Chen Jinzhi unscrewed the cap of a bottle of mineral water, handed it to her, and asked:

"Is the audition process for the lead role going smoothly over there?"

"Thank you! It doesn't seem to be going well."

After Lulu calmed down after drinking some ice water, she shook her head.

"Director Caroline threw the script and got really angry. The artists who came to interview for the female lead didn't seem to perform well."

"so."

Chen Jinzhi nodded, her expression calm, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.

"Because the main character's process was stuck, the other important supporting roles had to wait too long and were very dissatisfied. Sister Iris, you know that most of the actors over there are very experienced, and few of them have received such treatment in the crew.

Anyway, I think it's not our turn today, why don't we go back to the hotel and rest early?"

Lulu glanced at the sky and said with a frown.

"No."

Chen Jinzhi shook his head slightly and motioned for Lulu to look around.

The rest shed that was full in the morning now has only a few people left, most of whom left early with this idea in mind.

"Since we have made an appointment for today, we have the obligation to stay here and wait for a day."

Chen Jinzhi didn't seem impatient at all. He slowly unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip.

"But we also pushed a lot of business here! Even if it's a big director, he can't delay our work like this."

Lulu grumbled and complained.

"It's okay. Today I learned some common sense about auditions for film crews."

Chen Jinzhi took out a booklet from his arms, took out the pen clipped on the booklet, and handed it to Lulu.

Lulu took it without knowing what was going on and opened it to read the contents.

“Cold read: refers to the first time an auditionee reads a script.”

"Auditioners shouldn't be given the entire scene, and the audition clip shouldn't be longer than one page."

“There should be no eye contact with the director during the session, and actors are trained to keep their focus either overhead or to one side of the audience.”

"."

Lulu couldn't help but marvel.

How to put it, having such a reliable artist is probably the blessing she has earned in her past lives.

Su Chengyi took a look at the duration of the call, one hour and twenty-three minutes.

I used to chat on the phone with Chen Jinzhi quite often, but it was rare for us to talk for such a long time.

He leaned over and took a bottle of mineral water from the back seat to moisten his throat. Outside the window was the endless Gobi Desert.

Even though the car windows were closed, there was still the illusion of sand blowing in my face.

“The scenery at the filming location is really beautiful.”

Su Chengyi couldn't help but sigh.

The desert is so vast that the road under the off-road wheels seems to have no end.

The setting sun above the horizon is blood red, and there seems to be a desolate whimper in my ears.

"Ah."

After being fed with dog food all the way, Xiao Zheng in the driver's seat pushed up his sunglasses with a cool look on his face and snorted.
