15. Adding Insult to Injury

“That’s my house. Thank you for giving me a lift.” Lin Zhuohan got out of the star shuttle and smiled at Lu Yunchu.

“Remember to wait for me at the company tomorrow!” Lu Yunchu reminded Lin Zhuohan.

Lin Zhuohan looked at Lu Yunchu and asked in confusion, “Yunchu, do you really have that much money to terminate my contract?”

Lu Yunchu nodded, “Of course! You have asked me that question three times! Remember, I am a rich second generation! My job is to spend the money as much as I want.”

“Even if you’re a rich second generation, why do you want to help me? Are you going to ask me for something?” asked Lin Zhuohan.

“Because I can see a bright future on you!” Lu Yunchu pondered, then smiled brightly and said naturally.

“A bright future? On me?”

Lu Yunchu nodded, “Yeah! Tell you a secret, my eyes have magic power! I can tell with a single glance that you will definitely become a well-known celebrity in the future, Zhuohan. I want to set up an entertainment company. When that time comes, I sincerely hope you can join me!”

“Set up an entertainment company?” Lin Zhuohan widened his eyes.

Lu Yunchu nodded, “Yes! I haven’t experienced to be the boss of an entertainment company yet. I think it’s time to give it a try.”

Lin Zhuohan was stunned. “Yunchu, you are not joking, are you?”

“Joking? Why should I be joking? I am serious, serious, and more than serious. I originally wanted to set up a mecha company, but I had no experience in running a mecha company. The investment was too high and the risk was too great. Therefore, now I want to set up an entertainment company for my first try instead.” Lu Yunchu said.

Lin Zhuohan looked at Lu Yunchu blankly, “You… I can see you must be serious.”

Lu Yunchu nodded solemnly and said, “Yes, I am. I know you’re someone that Director Zeng Chongyue values very much. I believe in Director Zeng’s judgement and your potential.”

Lin Zhuohan looked at Lu Yunchu and hesitated for a moment, then said, “Director Zeng’s movie is now lack of funds…”

“That’s not a problem! Director Zeng is currently in his nadir and it is high time that I should give him a helping hand. I’m sure he’ll remember my favour in the near future.” Lu Yunchu said confidently.

“So, you want to invest in his movie?” asked Lin Zhuohan.

Lu Yunchu nodded, “Why not!”

“That’s… that’s not a small amount of money!” Lin Zhuohan said.

“Money is never a problem to me.” Lu Yunchu said disdainfully.

Lin Zhuohan looked at Lu Yunchu and said suspiciously, “You are spending money so carefreely like this. I’m afraid sooner or later a financial problem will come to you…”

Lu Yunchu thought to himself, ‘Rest assure, Zhuohan. Spending money carefreely will not be a problem to me. My brother definitely won’t blame me for this. If I don’t spend money carefreely, then that will be a real problem to my brother. If I had spent my money for Qin Rui and had given him large houses and luxury cars when we were in a relationship, everyone would have thought that Qin Rui was kept as a mistress by me! Who would dare to look down on me? Who would think I was a parasite of Qin Rui?’

Therefore, Lu Yunchu nodded confidently and said, “How can there be a financial problem? I’m so rich! Financial crisis is always a step behind me!”

Lin Zhuohan nodded and said, “Fine. I believe you. See you tomorrow.”

……

The next day.

Lin Zhuohan walked into the company to sign in as usual. At this moment, a few young actors of his same generation rushed over to him.

“Senior Lin! Why are you here? It doesn’t seem like you have any jobs to do today. I’m afraid you can only stay in the longue to drink coffee all day, since you are banned after all.”

“Senior Lin, your recent schedule is as empty as a blank sheet of paper! You can have a really good rest, and I’m so envious about that! Ah! I’ve been too busy lately. I have to shoot a commercial for my endorsement later. See you!”

“Senior Lin, I heard that the movie you acted in was removed from the market because you were blacklisted by the company. That’s such a pity! Your acting skill is pretty good…”

“Senior Lin, I heard that you were appointed as the second male lead in the movie Hunting Shadow, but you were replaced by Gong Cheng in the final choice. Ah! That director really has no taste! I believe you will get that opportunity as soon as you are removed from the company’s blacklist! After all, how could Gong Cheng compare his acting skills to yours?”

“Senior Lin, you’ve really suffered a calamity, but why are you going against Shan Yuhao? Everyone knows that Shan Yuhao has a strong backer called Qin Rui, who is the young master of the Qin Family of Central Planet. It’s wise of you to stop your stupid behaviour and apologize to Mr. Shan. I believe he is merciful enough to let you live.”

……

Lin Zhuohan’s face darkened as people were spoking to him. When he was originally an A-lister, lots of actors and actresses in the company came to flatter him. But now, as he was at his hardest time, these B-listers and C-listers came to add insult to his injury, like throwing pebble stones to a drowning dog.

“Senior Lin, where’s Lu Yunchu? You won’t really listen to that Lu Yunchu’s nonsense and count on him to help you terminate your contract, will you? If you are coming today to wait for his ‘salvation’, I advise you to give up on this idea. Not many people on Central Planet can pay 300 million star coins at a time, especially it’s for another person.” Su Nan said coldly to Lin Zhuohan.

Lin Zhuohan couldn’t help frowning. The person who spoke to him was his colleague named Su Nan. They were working for the same manager at the company. Yesterday, Su Nan was also present at the gathering party, so he knew Lu Yunchu.

“Senior Su, who is Lu Yunchu?” A young man asked Su Nan curiously.

“Lu Yunchu? This person used to be a famous figure on Central Planet, but he was actually a commoner. When he was in college, he was kept as a mistress by the famous young master Qin Rui. However, Mr. Qin eventually threw him away for the sake of an actor called Shan Yuhao. Lu Yunchu was chased away without a star coin and he left Central Planet. Now he has suddenly come back, and it is said that he is selling his youthful body to a wealthy sugar daddy to exchange for money. This sugar daddy is quite capable and generous. It seems that he is willing to spend great sums of money on Lu Yunchu.” Su Nan explained

Lin Zhuohan got angered and refuted immediately. “Su Nan! Stop talking nonsense!”

“I’m talking nonsense? How come am I talking nonsense? This is the truth! Senior Lin, you’d better stay away from this kind of person. Although you’re an outdated actor, you’re at least a celebrity. It’s not good for you to get involved with Lu Yunchu.” Su Nan said.

Lin Zhuohan’s face darkened, “It’s none of your business.”

“Senior Lin, I’m doing it for your good,” said Su Nan earnestly. “Are you really expecting Lu Yunchu to help you terminate your contract? He was just boasting with you. Every man does it on a classmate gathering.”

Lin Zhuohan was annoyed and said with an angry voice, “Enough!!!”

“Zhuohan, you’re here!” Lin Zhuohan turned his head and looked in the direction of the voice. It was Lu Yunchu, who made Lin Zhuohan’s jaw drop to the ground.

Lu Yunchu was dressed in branded clothes. He was wearing an Haute Horlogerie watch on both of his wrists, with five or six rings on his fingers, and a few necklaces hanged around his neck.

Lin Zhuohan had been in the entertainment industry for a long time. He knew that Lu Yunchu’s outfit was all top-notch brands and was worth a lot, but it was just way too exaggerating…
