The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life-Chapter 1344 - 521: Cui Min’er’s Concerns

"Dear passengers, please note that Shenzhen Airlines flight ZH9516 from Magic City to Peng City has started boarding. Please take your belongings with you..."

If there’s anything different about traveling with four beautiful girls, Zhou Wang hasn’t noticed much yet, but one thing is for sure.

That is, no matter where you go, you’re always the center of attention.

Zhou Wang originally thought that for once he was being low-key, without a fleet of luxury cars or bodyguards, and no escorting assistants or secretaries. But now it seems that these four young and vibrant girls, led by Su Yajing, caused a commotion no less than a large entourage, and in some ways, might even surpass it...

As the boarding announcement sounded, Zhou Wang ended his moment of meditation, and the four chattering girls beside him finally stopped their "catching up."

Zhou Wang felt slightly helpless. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to join in their conversation, but he truly couldn’t get a word in edgewise...

To be honest, it had indeed been a while since these four girls gathered together. Let’s not even mention all four; they seemed to have never even met two at a time.

So ever since the four girls met, the atmosphere among them had been quite lively, as if they were back in sophomore year when the four of them gathered in the dormitory every night for heart-to-heart talks, sharing everything without reservation...

But underneath it all seemed to lurk a subtle tension that Zhou Wang, as an outsider, couldn’t feel, but the four girls could keenly sense something was different.

For example, at a certain moment, when Zhou Wang happened to go for a smoke, Cui Min’er, who had returned home for a while and was the least aware of the situation, suddenly curiously asked Shen Yutong:

"Yutong, has your costume web drama wrapped up? I mean, we know you’ve been filming but have no idea what role you played. You’ve never even shown us any photos..."

Shen Yutong hurriedly explained, "It’s not that I don’t want to take pictures; it’s the production team’s rule. Actors like us are not allowed to casually share anything from the shooting period... Uh, yes, it wrapped up, and it should be released by the end of the year."

"That’s pretty fast. I’ve been a bit troubled lately too. My fiancé doesn’t allow me to enter our Peninsula’s entertainment industry, but here in Huaxia, more than one production team has approached me, hoping I could take on some roles."

Cui Min’er said with some distress.

"That sounds good. Online dramas and short dramas are so popular now, with short filming cycles, offering a great way to earn extra income!"

Su Yajing chimed in with a smile, "Besides, Min’er, you have such great looks, with an exotic appeal. You probably don’t even need superb acting skills to earn a decent paycheck..."

Cui Min’er forced a smile upon hearing this but didn’t respond immediately.

Noticing Cui Min’er’s hesitation, Yu Duo asked proactively.

"Sister Min’er, are you afraid your fiancé will get angry if he finds out, or is there another concern?"

"I’m not too worried about my fiancé finding out. He looks down on Huaxia and almost never pays attention to anything here."

Cui Min’er hesitated before speaking, "It’s those complicated contracts from the production teams that worry me about signing rashly. The offers are high, but all the scripts I’ve been given also seem to have intimate scenes, and I can only get the high pay if I agree to those..."

"Is there no way to negotiate?"

Su Yajing frowned, "Why tie this together with the pay?"

"From what they’ve said, it seems there isn’t room for negotiation... So Yutong, I wanted to ask you, how do you deal with these situations?"

Cui Min’er finally turned to Shen Yutong, distressed, and asked, "Does your role involve intimate scenes with male actors?"

"Uh, the script originally had some scenes like that, but they were cut down, so I didn’t have to perform them... There was one unavoidable scene where the director found a way to shoot it from a different angle and had a stand-in do it for me."

Shen Yutong answered honestly.

"Wow, how did you manage that?"

Cui Min’er’s eyes lit up immediately. She quickly held on to Shen Yutong’s hand and urgently asked, "Yutong, please, you have to tell me. This is really important to me, I... I’m really short on money these days."

"I..."

Faced with Cui Min’er’s expectant gaze, Shen Yutong didn’t know how to respond for a moment.

Her entry into the "Chu Tianyao" drama crew was thanks to Zhou Wang, which only Su Yajing had somewhat guessed, while even Yu Duo didn’t know the inside story.

There was a point of self-contradiction in Shen Yutong... She saw herself as the newcomer, essentially the "third party" between Su Yajing and Zhou Wang, which made her feel guilty in front of Su Yajing.

But what she didn’t know was that it was precisely her intentional concealment that alerted Su Yajing to some telltale signs.

However, as clever as Su Yajing was, she didn’t know how far Zhou Wang and Shen Yutong had gone, so she never called them out on it.

The somewhat naive Yu Duo noticed that Cui Min’er seemed genuinely anxious and teasingly suggested, "Sister Tongtong, if you have any secrets, you should share them with Sister Min’er. You don’t have any hidden reasons not to, do you?"

While Shen Yutong was at a loss, it was Su Yajing who came to her rescue.

"Yutong is too embarrassed to talk about it, so let me... What else could it be, of course, it’s because of Zhou Wang!"
