Dual-wielding! 100x proficiency, I'll grind my way to godhood!

Dilina dropped her parasol with a thud and stood there dumbfounded.

"Brother Mo?"

Black Deer ignored her and ran up to Chen Mo, looking up at him.

"Brother Mo! What are you doing here?"

Chen Mo flicked off his cigarette ash.

"This is my home."

Dilina then realized what was happening and cursed "Black Deer" under her breath.

"She always called her my best friend, but now that she's stolen my man, she's abandoned me."

"Want to eat alone? No way!"

She jogged over to Chen Mo and began to perform.

First, she looked around the courtyard, then at the wooden house behind her, and then looked back at Chen Mo with sparkling eyes.

"Brother Mo, is this your home? Is this your hometown?"

"Um."

"We're here to film a TV show and scout locations."

Dilina pointed to the camera crew behind her, and then to the mountain road outside the courtyard gate.

"I just walked for ages along mountain paths, and I was complaining about how remote this place was, but I never expected..."

She laughed as she spoke.

"I never expected it to be Mo Ge's hometown! What a coincidence!"

Black Deer smiled too.

"Brother Mo, you didn't even tell us you were coming back from Beijing. If we had known your hometown was here, we would have come to visit a long time ago."

Chen Mo took a drag of his cigarette.

"There's not much to do here for you. The signal is bad in the mountains, and there are lots of mosquitoes. But the food is better than in the city. My mom makes her own cured pork; have you ever tried it?"

Dilina immediately shook her head.

"No, it smells delicious."

"That's perfect! Don't leave at noon, stay and have a taste."

Chen Mo spoke calmly.

Black Deer's eyes lit up, and he pressed for an answer.

"Brother Mo, do you still stand by your promise to take us stock trading?"

"It depends on my mood."

"When will you feel better?"

Black Deer persisted, laughing as he pressed on with his questions.

Chen Mo glanced at the two universally acknowledged top actresses beside him, his tone nonchalant.

"I feel much better when you two sit here and chat with me."

Dilina covered her mouth and burst out laughing, her shoulders trembling slightly, the smile in her eyes impossible to hide.

Black Deer pursed his lips and smiled slightly, creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

Just then, Lu Xingyao frowned, her two small hands tightly clutching a half-peeled orange.

Seeing the two celebrities flanking Chen Mo, she immediately stepped forward, took Chen Mo's arm, and held up the oranges in her hand in front of Chen Mo.

She ignored Dilina and Hei Lu, focusing only on Chen Mo, and said softly.

"Brother Mo, this orange is super sweet, you should eat it."

Chen Mo glanced down at the little girl's adorable way of guarding her food, then reached out, broke off half of an orange, and popped it into his mouth, the sweet fruity aroma spreading in his mouth.

"It is indeed sweet."

He handed the remaining half back.

"You eat too."

Lu Xingyao immediately smiled and nodded obediently.

Dilina and Hei Lu sized up the woman in front of them. Her figure and face were no less than theirs, but her skin was fair and delicate, much better than theirs.

Neither of them showed any other emotion and maintained a smile throughout.

It's normal for a tycoon of this caliber to have several beautiful women around him; if he didn't have any women around him...

Then they definitely have no chance; it's hard to fathom the tastes of the wealthy.

At least the young, wealthy man in front of them is normal, which means they still have a chance.

This heartwarming and harmonious scene was particularly jarring to a group of young artists not far away.

These people are all currently popular young celebrities who are always surrounded by fans and adored by everyone they go around. When have they ever been treated like this?

All eyes and attention were on the young man, dressed in a simple white shirt, sitting in a country courtyard.

They, on the contrary, became nothing more than background figures ignored by everyone.

A young man with light brown hair gripped a mineral water bottle tightly in his hand, making a cracking sound as he whispered a sarcastic remark.

"What's so interesting about a country bumpkin from the mountains?"

A person next to them, wearing a limited-edition streetwear hoodie, was even bolder, deliberately raising their voice to make it clear they wanted everyone to hear.

"Sister Nazha, Sister Hei Lu! You two are top-tier actresses, your status in the industry is undeniable. Do you really need to fawn over some country bumpkin? There are plenty of empty seats here, come and sit down!"

However, Dilraba and Lu Han ignored them completely, not even bothering to look back at them.

Chen Mo glanced at them and gestured with his chin towards the group of popular young male celebrities.

"Someone is calling you."

Naza and Hei Lu exchanged a glance, and without even thinking, they made their decision.

Just kidding. If a young, handsome billionaire with hundreds of billions of dollars is standing in front of you, and a popular celebrity who only knows how to act cool is standing there, even a fool would know which one to choose.

Dilraba didn't turn her head and waved casually.

"Ignore them, they're just a bunch of immature kids who love to fight over girls."

Black Deer ignored him completely and continued.

"Brother Mo, please continue. Shouldn't you add more Sichuan peppercorns to remove the fishy smell when curing bacon?"

"Yes, it's made with carefully selected pork belly, marinated thoroughly with Sichuan peppercorns and dried ginger. Don't add too much salt, otherwise it will be too salty and overpower the meat's flavor."

Chen Mo spoke in a calm tone, chatting casually about everyday matters.

The several popular young male celebrities opposite them were completely frozen in place.

Full of provocation and a sense of superiority, he punched cotton.

The young man with light brown hair gritted his teeth and sat down hard, his face frighteningly gloomy.

The boy in the trendy hoodie turned his head away, a surge of anger welling up inside him.

After a brief standoff, the young man with light brown hair finally couldn't hold back any longer. He abruptly stood up, took a step forward, and his sarcastic voice echoed throughout the courtyard:

"Sister Nazha, let me give you a friendly reminder: these days, there are scammers everywhere who pretend to be rich to fool female celebrities! Don't be easily fooled!"

"that is!"

His companion immediately echoed him, glancing at Chen Mo with disdain.

"What kind of family background could someone from the mountains have? Wearing a white shirt and acting all high and mighty, does he really think he's someone important?"

This is no longer just a hint of mockery; it's blatant contempt.

The smile on Black Deer's face vanished instantly. He turned his head sharply, his eyes icy, and he hissed in a low voice.

"Shut up!"

Dilina also took half a step forward, subconsciously blocking Chen Mo's way, and lowered her voice.

"If you don't want to work here anymore, then keep talking."

When two top female stars got angry at the same time, the scene instantly fell silent.

But the next second, Chen Mo casually waved his hand.

"Let them talk."

Just four words.

Dilina and Hei Lu froze, instantly falling silent.

They exchanged a quick glance, and the same thought flashed through their eyes simultaneously.

It’s over.

These people are completely finished.

What awaits these people next is nothing more than a predictable and crushing destruction.

The two silently stepped aside, watching the group of arrogant young people court disaster.

Several popular young male celebrities hadn't grasped the situation yet, assuming the other side had backed down.

He continued to mock them.

"Sister Nazha, Sister Hei Lu, let me tell you, this person is definitely a fraud. Look, he's even acting guilty."

Chen Mo seemed not to hear anything and turned to continue chatting with Lu Xingyao beside him.

"You and Ye Yunshu can sleep in my sister's room tonight."

Lu Xingyao shook her head and hugged his arm tightly.

"No, I want to sleep with you."

On one side of the courtyard, the program's director, producer, and a few older celebrities stood by with their arms crossed, watching indifferently.

These men were all seasoned veterans who had been in the industry for decades, and they knew exactly how to treat people differently based on their status.

The producer lowered his voice.

"Don't rush. This young man seems to be no ordinary person. Let's assess the situation first and send the child to explore the path."

P.S.: There will be another chapter later. First, I'll review last week's market situation, and then I'll start writing.
