Growth-type Super Rich-Chapter 482: Zhai Li Special 2

Seeing his reaction, a bit of disappointment flashed in Zhai Li’s eyes, but she immediately reached out her hand, cupping Gu Bai’s head, making sure his eyes stayed fixed on her face.

"Are you scared to look at me?"

"Not at all... How could I be."

The subsequent denial always seemed a bit awkward.

"Hmph! If you don’t take a good look at my face now, when I become a big star in the future, you’ll have to watch me with everyone else!"

Who would have thought that the goddess famous for her aloofness would speak to a boy with such a haughty tone?

"Then I’ll just take ugly pictures of you. I’ve been studying montage theory lately. I’ll experiment on you and see if I can turn you, the swan, into an ugly duckling!"

Faced with Zhai Li’s proud attitude, Gu Bai responded with a cheeky joke.

"Oh, really! You dare think like that! Then I won’t act in your films in the future!"

"Directors choose actors, not the other way around!"

"Others may not, but I can! Because the director is my boyfriend!"

"You’re cheating!"

"Blah blah blah, yes I am. Are you going to ban me~"

The people passing by saw the couple under the moonlight, and though they couldn’t make out who they were, they still cast envious glances their way.

After a few minutes, Zhai Li, worn out from their playful fight, gently hooked her arm around Gu Bai’s and rested her small head quietly on his shoulder, gazing at the suspended moon and softly spoke.

"Gu Bai, Huayi has already contacted my parents, and their opinion is that I should sign with Huayi."

Enjoying the warmth of the moment, Gu Bai involuntarily shuddered at these words, unsure of how to respond.

Zhai Li, of course, noticed Gu Bai’s change and remained silent, not knowing how to continue.

Who knows how long had passed, but a hesitant Gu Bai finally spoke.

"Actually, when I said I didn’t support you entering the entertainment industry too early, I was a bit selfish. I was afraid you’d fly so high that I couldn’t even see your silhouette...

But these days I’ve thought a lot. I feel that as your boyfriend, I should support you. The entertainment industry is a big stage, and entering it early brings more benefits for future development. Although neither of us likes Zhang Ailing, there’s one thing she said that I think makes sense: ’Fame should come early.’

So, I should be your biggest supporter, not a burden preventing you from flying."

"What are you talking about! How could you be a burden! You’re the genius who joined the directing department with full marks! Even our instructor thinks you’ll become a great director in the future! Maybe after I join Huayi, my performance will be so bad that I’ll end up being sidelined. By then, you might shine, and I’ll have to rely on you to fulfill my dream as an actress!

Don’t forget about our dreams and aspirations!"

Looking at Zhai Li, who now had her eyes entirely on his face, Gu Bai brushed aside his unwarranted thoughts and said with a smile, "I will become the most influential Chinese director in the world!"

"I will also become the most influential Chinese actor in the world!"

"I also want to be the husband of the most influential Chinese actor in the world!"

"Then I’ll be the wife of the most influential Chinese director in the world!"

Under the moonlight, the two expressed their love in the most childish words.

"But I’ll be one step ahead of you. But that’s okay. Once I become a big star, I’ll lend you a hand since I’m the future wife of the most influential Chinese director~"

"Are you saying you want me to live off you?"

Gu Bai joked playfully.

Zhai Li wrinkled her little nose and snorted, "What’s it to you? Don’t you agree? I’ll tell you, if you don’t agree now, when I become famous, there will be many people wanting to live off me, and you’d have to queue up for a party all the way to France!"

"Why refuse? The doctor says my stomach isn’t well; I should eat something soft!"

"Phoenix Man deserves to die!"

The playful sounds of laughter drifted with the evening breeze across every corner of the Shanghai Theatre Academy. In our youth, we’d always want to make all sorts of beautiful promises. Regardless of what the future holds, at least in this moment of promise, everyone genuinely wants to keep it.

August 10, 2017.

Capital City, Huayi Headquarters Building.

The office of Huayi’s top agent, Mo Yonghua, also known as Sister Hua.

Mo Yonghua held many top resources in her hands and had previously groomed several A-list celebrities. Her role wasn’t just an agent; she was also a shareholder of Huayi.

For the talent she personally discovered, Mo Yonghua was very satisfied.

With looks that matched the contemporary youth’s definition of an idol and professional skills that most idol artists don’t possess, after all, Zhai Li was only a freshman and already excelled on the drama stage, which would only be more stunning in TV dramas and films.

Zhai Li sat in front of Mo Yonghua, no longer with the demeanor of the Shanghai Theatre Academy goddess, but like a little girl, anxious and uneasy.

"No need to be nervous. From now on, you’re one of my artists. Your seniors all call me Sister Hua, and you can do the same."

Mo Yonghua lit a lady’s cigarette and smiled as she spoke to Zhai Li.

"Hello, Sister Hua..."

Weakly came Zhai Li’s greeting.

"Let me be blunt: I see tremendous potential in your future, even more than all the artists I’ve managed in terms of potential.
