Why are you all trying to win over me, the male supporting character?

It's not too late to settle scores with the Lin family after we uncover the secrets behind Lu Chengzhou...

"Young Master Lin, I'm old and my words don't always come from me, so please don't take it to heart."

Lin Chen glanced at him disdainfully and reopened the car door.

"That's more like it. Come on up."

342. My eyes are wet!

After returning to school, Lin Chen waited patiently for Lu Chengzhou's audition notification.

The thought of acting alongside Su Qiaoman filled him with immense anticipation.

With this sense of anticipation, the day of the audition arrived.

Su Qiaoman arrived as scheduled.

However, her gaze almost never lingered on Lin Chen.

Lin Chen was unhappy, but he had no choice but to endure it.

After all, there will be many more days to spend together and plenty of opportunities.

Lu Chengzhou sat next to the director, pondering how to further increase the budget.

He has to play the role of a useless investor to the very end.

That way, you can reduce your perceived threat level in the male lead's eyes.

"Book me the best hotel, yes, a star-rated hotel."

"Give me a high salary for everyone. It's not easy for them to make movies, you know?"

"Also, the staff all stay in star-rated hotels, so don't neglect them!"

Even if everyone stays in a star-rated hotel and rents out the entire hotel, it won't cost much per month.

after all……

The biggest investor behind this hotel is the Lin family.

Although Lin Chen himself was unaware of this, it did not stop the hotel executives from secretly trying to curry favor with them.

Lu Chengzhou looked at the bill delivered by the hotel, his expression gloomy.

"This hotel is really inconsiderate," he thought to himself. "A private room for this price? They must have given us a huge discount!"

Even though he knew he had been given a discount, Lu Chengzhou couldn't say anything.

You can't exactly go to the manager and blatantly ask him to inflate the bill, can you?

That would really mean there's something wrong with your brain.

"Make me the best of everything for the props and costumes."

"Every meal must include bird's nest, abalone, and lobster!"

"By the way, go and invite a few more celebrities for me. I feel the lineup isn't luxurious enough."

Seeing him spend money like water, Lin Chen began to feel sorry for him.

Where did his shrewd Brother Lu go?

In areas where money could be saved, they are being extravagant and wasteful!

Just to create a decadent and extravagant experience?

No need, really no need.

"Could it be that Brother Lu is trying to get revenge for me?" Thinking of this possibility, Lin Chen's heart trembled, and a warm current surged out.

The look in her eyes as she looked at Lu Chengzhou also carried a hint of gratitude.

My eyes are wet.

Lu Chengzhou said he hoped this scene would bring him and Su Qiaoman closer.

He genuinely cared about both of them.

"I must perform well and not let Brother Lu down."

Lin Chen wiped his eyes, his gaze gradually hardening.

As if sensing something, Su Qiaoman raised her head and glanced in the direction he was sitting.

Lin Chen gave her a thumbs up and a wonderful smile.

"Has this guy lost his mind?"

Su Qiaoman frowned, then quickly lowered her head and continued reading the script.

To be honest, when Lu Chengzhou invited her to act, she never thought that she would have the possibility of playing the female lead, let alone that Lu Chengzhou would offer her such a high salary!

Keep in mind, they were all complete novices with absolutely no acting experience.

This demonstrates an unparalleled level of trust.

Su Qiaoman felt that she had no choice but to do her best to play the role well.

She was willing to act alongside Lin Chen.

After all, she couldn't let A-Zhou down, and she couldn't let the women around A-Zhou look down on her.

This might be her chance to turn things around!

If she fights well in this battle, she might be able to enter high society and accelerate her career advancement!

"Ah Zhou, just you wait and see, I'm going to make a name for myself."

Su Qiaoman secretly made up her mind.

……

Time passes day by day.

Soon, the day for the official start of filming arrived.

Lu Chengzhou's image as a wealthy and powerful investor has become deeply ingrained in people's minds.

The celebrities he invited couldn't resist shaking his hand and getting a closer look at who he really was.

Privately, their discussions about Lu Chengzhou never stopped.

"Looks like there's nothing wrong with his brain?"

"Honestly, when I saw this salary, I thought I was going to work with an international superstar."

"In a sense, international superstars have indeed arrived..."

Wow! Two Best Actresses and one Best Actor?

"What are those three acting for?!"

"It is said that one of them played the football team coach, one played the lobby manager, and another played the gardener."

"Holy crap, isn't this just a complete extra?"

Invite the best actors and actresses to come over and play extras!

So, just how amazing must the protagonist be?

They fell silent immediately after seeing the names of Lin Chen and Su Qiaoman.

"Hey, who are these two?"

"A complete newcomer I've never heard of."

"Could these two be having some kind of backroom deal with the investors?"

"I've heard, just heard, that Lin Chen has an unspeakable relationship with the investors..."

"Wow, that's so exciting!"

For a moment, everyone looked at Lu Chengzhou and Lin Chen with a pink tinge.

Unfortunately, they were both preoccupied with their own thoughts and paid no attention to the gaze of the crowd.

Lu Chengzhou remained seated next to the director, observing the various situations on set.

To his surprise, Lin Chen and Su Qiaoman's acting was actually quite natural.

Even though both of them were complete novices who had never acted before, there was no awkward acting at all!

Even the instructors that Lu Chengzhou had brought in from abroad at great expense were full of praise.

Lu Chengzhou couldn't help but sigh, "This is probably what they call the protagonist's halo."

They can encounter such unreasonable things.

Who knows, this could actually elevate this film to unprecedented heights...

"How should I spend all this money I've earned?"

Lu Chengzhou was seriously worried.

"I already have a house and a car, do you expect me to go on an auction house shopping spree?"

He was genuinely interested in the idea of ​​those large diamonds, antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

After all, I don't have any new goals right now.

Of course, all of this will have to wait until the movie is released and its performance is assessed before a decision can be made.

"Okay, that's all for today, let's call it a day!"

Before we knew it, today's filming had come to an end.

Apart from the two lead actors, the others weren't too tired and started discussing going to an entertainment club to relax early on.

Lin Chen had walked a lot today and was feeling terrible, so he didn't plan to get involved with them.

As for Su Qiaoman...

"I have a part-time job, I have to go now."

She didn't actually have any part-time tasks today; she just didn't want to be alone with Lin Chen.
