I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Actually, Cheng Sheng was wrong this time.

Chen Kaige actually praised the process, saying it was better than a well-written script.

Moreover, he did tell Chen Hong that it would be great if there was a script for Cheng Sheng.

Although he didn't explicitly say he wanted Cheng Sheng to write the script, the implication was clear.

He just couldn't bring himself to ask a junior to write a script, how could he save face?
Chen Hong was a smart woman. She understood what Chen Kaige meant and knew his concerns and his desire to save face.

Despite being hailed as one of China's top three directors, Chen Kaige's career has been on a downward spiral ever since "Farewell My Concubine."

No matter what they film, they lose money. Even if they make money, the reputation is terrible.

Especially after the release of the movie "The Promise", Chen Kaige was almost verbally abused to the point of being disgusted.

With Cheng Sheng's meteoric rise, Chen Kaige is almost out of the running for the title of one of the top three directors in China.

If things continue like this and no good works are released, Chen Kaige might actually be removed from the list of China's top three directors.

Chen Hong was also extremely anxious, after all, as Chen Kaige's wife, their fates were intertwined.

This reminded Chen Hong of how Chen Kaige often mentioned how good Cheng Sheng's scripts were. Chen Hong had a sudden inspiration and decided to secretly ask Cheng Sheng to write a script for her.

"Sister Hong, I'm really sorry, I'm very busy and don't have time to write scripts for others," Cheng Sheng said, shaking his head in refusal.

Helping Chen Kaige write a script was a bit of a losing proposition.

Upon hearing this, Chen Hong's eyes dimmed, but she also knew that given Cheng Sheng's current status, it was unlikely that he would help Chen Kaige write a script.

But she was still not giving up and was preparing her next plan.

"It's alright, let me toast you, and wish your company a smooth and successful year ahead."

Chen Hong composed herself, raised her glass, and said.

Cheng Sheng and Chen Hong clinked their glasses and Cheng Sheng said, "I also wish Director Chen Kaige all the best for next year."

The two drank it all in one gulp.

Chen Hong saw Cheng Sheng drink the wine and a hint of smugness appeared in her eyes.

Cheng Sheng didn't notice Chen Hong's reaction at all.

……

"Ouch... I feel dizzy, like I've been punched."

Cheng Sheng sat up abruptly, his hangover headache pounding at his temples like a hammer. He rubbed his temples and squinted to adjust to the light in the room.

The hotel suite was high-end and elegant, but it still smelled of last night's mess.

The sheets were crumpled, the blanket was half-draped on the floor, and a faint, ambiguous scent of perfume and alcohol lingered in the air.

The woman beside him had a delicate face flushed from the previous night, like a ripe peach, making one want to take a bite.

Chen Hong!

Cheng Sheng was dumbfounded.

It felt like something had hit my head, and fragmented memories kept piecing themselves back together.

He was having dinner with Chen Hong and drank several glasses of red wine, after which he felt dizzy.

At first, he didn't pay attention and thought he was just drunk.

Looking back now, I realize I was drunk, and the alcohol was definitely the problem.

You should know that although he is not immune to drinking, he can drink a bottle of red wine without getting drunk.

Damn it.

I've fallen for this woman's trick.

Cheng Sheng stared at the sleeping Chen Hong with a complicated expression.

It has to be said that Chen Hong truly deserves her reputation as a famous beauty in the entertainment industry. At thirty-eight years old, she still retains her charm, with dazzlingly white skin and a captivating figure.

By sleeping with her, Cheng Sheng actually came out ahead.

The problem is, this woman is troublesome. Now that she's stuck with me, it'll be hard to shake her off.

Moreover, Cheng Sheng is not the kind of person who would be heartless after getting what he wants.

Suddenly, Chen Hong's eyelashes trembled, as if she was about to wake up.

"Sister Hong, why are you doing this! If people find out, your life will be ruined, and what will become of your family?"

Cheng Sheng gave a bitter smile and a soft sigh, his tone tinged with helplessness.

Chen Hong really went all out for Chen Kaige.

They weren't afraid of taking advantage of him completely.

Chen Hong opened her eyes, her hazy gaze sweeping over Cheng Sheng, her cheeks instantly burning red.

Although she had planned ahead and was ruthless enough to do it, she was still a woman, and afterwards she felt a little regretful.

Cheng Sheng was right. If Chen Kaige found out about this, she would probably have no choice but to divorce him.

Chen Hong pulled the blanket over her chest, her voice soft as if she were coaxing someone: "Cheng Sheng, yesterday... it was my fault, I shouldn't have used this method."

As she spoke, she sat up, her hair disheveled and draped over her shoulders, looking somewhat like a shy young girl.

Cheng Sheng sighed helplessly and said, "The entertainment industry is so big, there are plenty of people who can write good scripts. Sister Hong, why do you have to force me like this?"

After he finished speaking, he rolled off the bed, revealing his bare upper body with clearly defined muscles. At nearly twenty-five years old, he was in the prime of his youth. He grabbed the shirt on the floor, casually put it on, and said in a fiery tone, "Sister Hong, have you ever thought that we are both celebrities? Yesterday, the paparazzi probably already knew we were here. We haven't even left the hotel yet, and I don't know what they'll write about us."

The entertainment industry is a place of fame and fortune, and paparazzi have a nose that's sharper than a hunting dog.

He drove to the hotel yesterday without telling anyone.

"Don't worry, I dressed up before coming here, the paparazzi won't know I'm in the hotel."

Chen Hong said.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Sheng immediately realized that if Chen Hong wanted to drug him, she would definitely have made preparations. It seemed that he had been overthinking things.

“Sister Hong, I’m not a heartless person. You’re in such a state. If I don’t write a script for Director Kai, it would seem petty of me.”

After Cheng Sheng finished dressing, he sat on the edge of the bed and stared at Chen Hong.

"I……"

Chen Hong's eyes reddened under Cheng Sheng's gaze. Just as she was about to explain, Cheng Sheng leaned down and pinched her chin with considerable force, saying ambiguously, "Remember, the scripts I write aren't so easy to get."

"What do you want?" Chen Hong's heart tightened, and she felt a little uneasy. But Cheng Sheng's words stirred something in her heart. She probably couldn't forget the feeling from last night.

If only we could do it again?
She bit her lip, her face turning red.

Chen Kai was more than ten years older than her, and given his promiscuous behavior outside the home, he was no longer capable of performing his duties.

And she happened to be in her prime, when her needs were greatest.

Having a "friends with benefits" like Cheng Sheng might not be such a bad thing.

It can both help Chen Kai get rid of his cravings and satisfy his cravings.

Cheng Sheng let go of her hand, stood up, and looked down at Chen Hong. She was slowly fixing her hair, and the blush on her face had not completely faded.

Last night's passion made her look even more alluring.

What type of movies does director Chen Kaige want to make?

Cheng Sheng asked.

"Any type is fine?" Chen Hong asked Cheng Sheng in surprise.

“I wrote the script for Ning Hao’s film ‘Buried Alive’,” Cheng Sheng said.

"Historical film."

Chen Hong thought about it and made up her mind. Cheng Sheng was most proficient in historical films, so if she asked him to write this, he would definitely do well.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Sheng's lips curled up slightly.

Interesting. (End of Chapter)
