Chinese Entertainment: Becoming a Superstar After a Breakup

Chapter 125 Awkwardness

"What leverage? If you knew something, you'd be nicer to him than I am. Shen Ze told me he has a family secret. We were talking about him before, saying he had the best physique in the crew. I thought about it, and I've never seen him at the gym. He told me he has a secret that allows him to be fit without working out," Jiang Xin said.

However, her words made Shen Ze and Liu Tao a little embarrassed. Sister, can you please say these things in front of the person involved instead of in private?

Liu Tao was a little helpless. She had already experienced Jiang Xin's directness, but could she please be a little less blunt about these kinds of things? It was easy for the two women to offend people by commenting on and comparing the physiques of the male crew members in private.

It's a good thing you said it next to the person with the best figure. If you were next to someone else, even someone with low emotional intelligence wouldn't have said that.

Also, what will Shen Ze think of us if you say that? Women are supposed to be reserved, right? It's just that there's a big age gap. If we were any younger, we would really feel embarrassed.

Shen Ze was also embarrassed. You women have some interesting private conversations and you even comment on each other. But even if you're praising me, you can't just say it out loud, lady. Aren't you afraid of offending people?

"Really? You have a secret?" Liu Tao forcefully ignored some things and asked about the secret directly, partly to change the subject and partly out of genuine curiosity.

For female celebrities, losing weight is a lifelong pursuit. Who doesn't want to eat and drink well and look beautiful? But it's impossible, and exercise is also painful.

"No, I was just kidding," Shen Ze said. Don't take it seriously. I was just teasing her. The main thing is that I really can't produce it. I have a system, but you guys don't. You can only rely on training and starvation.

"It's not a joke. I go to the gym quite rarely, but I don't think I've ever seen you there. And you eat so much," Liu Tao said.

"It's a matter of physical constitution. I've always been like this, and I can maintain it without much exercise." Shen Ze thought of himself working out hard when he was studying for exams. Back then, he was just an ordinary person. Sigh, it was exhausting.

"Impossible, you have such a great figure," Jiang Xin said.

"I'm a purebred greyhound, this is all just fluff," Shen Ze joked, quickly changing the subject.

"Really? No, your muscles are that cool." Shen Ze didn't expect this. Jiang Xin pressed on his shoulder, and Liu Tao went straight to touch his abs.

He has a real, perfect eight-pack, which Dilraba has certified. She told him not to wear anything too revealing to show off to others, but he naturally didn't intend to listen. They've broken up, but he also didn't intend to flaunt it.

If normal muscles can be described as handsome, you can imagine how beautiful they must be. Liu Tao tried it out and couldn't see it, but judging from the feel, it was definitely not foam. However, it was this one moment that made her use the adjective "handsome".

"Don't you think this is weird, Sister Xin? Can you let me go? You're practically forcing me," Shen Ze said.

He truly hadn't expected to make a move. Older women really have no inhibitions; compared to them, even he...

Even the men weren't as natural as him; they just went straight for it.

Of course, you can't compare. If he does the same thing, that's harassment. You see, people are so hypocritical. Well, maybe he doesn't count. After all, looks are a double-edged sword for the opposite sex.

"No, what are you thinking? I'll give it a try." Jiang Xin said, and then she came too. Shen Ze originally thought Liu Tao was bold enough, but this one was even more ruthless.

And he didn't dare to move. Jiang Xin massaged his shoulders and attacked him from behind. If he moved even slightly and touched something he shouldn't, that would be inappropriate.

For a woman, touching or hugging a man is no big deal, but if you do it the other way around, it becomes a big deal.

"Really, there are a few pieces," Jiang Xin said.

"Xin, make him get up." Liu Tao also realized that this behavior was wrong; he was bullying a little boy. However, it seemed quite interesting.

Women really do become bolder when they're together, and they also have another characteristic: as they get older, they like the feeling of being young. She's not exactly old, but compared to Shen Ze, he's definitely older, which makes a difference.

"Shen Ze, how about it? Teach us, we won't tell anyone." Jiang Xin didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. Although she got up, she still brought it up.

"Okay, I'll send it to you later." Shen Ze was speechless. He hoped this matter would pass quickly and that he would be more careful in the future, not to be seduced by beauty. He got up and turned around, looking for something.

It's not good to be single for too long. He usually plays games alone and doesn't overthink things, but when he's touched by a woman, he suddenly feels impulsive.

"It's settled then." Jiang Xin left, but there was a hint of embarrassment in her eyes. She was usually very outgoing, so the only thing that could make her feel embarrassed was discovering something strange.

She tried it on and witnessed firsthand that Shen Ze's pants had shrunk. That's right, things are relative; if they shrunk, something else would have taken up space.

Shen Ze's clothes were too tight, which made it easy for him to feel awkward. He couldn't hide it while sitting down, and Jiang Xin saw it. In fact, not only her, but Liu Tao saw it too.

Shen Ze realized it himself and quickly got up, which prevented everyone from seeing the final change. But some things are like dragons hidden in the abyss; even if they are only exposed a little, their energy is astonishing.

However, Jiang Xin and Liu Tao were both certain of one thing: Shen Ze, this young man, could actually be charmed by them, which was a good thing. It wasn't that they wanted to do anything, but they were indeed charming. They just didn't know who he was attracted to.

Shen Ze was naturally unaware of these matters. After a while, he calmed down. With so many women around, it's easy to go astray. When out and about, a man still needs to be careful. In his previous life, he had no such concerns, but in this life, there are quite a few people who are after him.

When lunch was served that day, Shen Ze brought two boxed meals. You could tell that this production team had invested a lot; even the boxed meals were different.

The extras' boxed lunches were the same kind he used to eat on film sets, but these days, the packaging alone looked different—wooden boxes.

It's a set, the kind used for eating sushi, and of course, it all has to be taken back.

Everyone eats differently here. It's like several female protagonists eating different things. Strictly speaking, it's not that lavish. There are boiled vegetables and boiled beef. The main point is to make it healthy and not tasty, with less oil and less salt.

These were specially made. Shen Ze didn't want these, otherwise he could have eaten them too. His meal allowance wasn't low either, two hundred yuan per meal.

This was the first time there had been such a high meal allowance on a film set, and as long as it was a boxed lunch, the meal allowance was directly charged. No wonder some people in later generations said that a meal allowance of 600 was not enough.

These days, this is probably the pinnacle of treatment in the entertainment industry, and this is a Noon Sunshine production crew, so no one is making a fuss about it. If it were a different production crew, the meal allowance might have gone straight to 600.

Sometimes, it's no wonder people say that they've forgotten what ordinary people's lives are like. They deserve to be criticized. Six hundred yuan a meal isn't enough for them. They've been out of touch with the masses for too long.
