After a while, Chu Zheng and the director met in Film City.
The director was a man in his forties with a typical Chinese character and a solemn face.
After such a phone call, the director was still a little suspicious. Yet, when he met the girl again, her temperament …… was completely different from the last time they had met.
Chu Zheng didn’t want to waste time with the director so she directly got to the point.
After the two sides finally reach a verbal agreement, Chu Zheng hurriedly transferred 10 million to the director at the last minute of the time slot the system gave her.
But what Chu Zheng didn’t expect was that the original owner’s card wasn’t allowed to transfer that much money in a single transaction.
She made more efforts and finally succeeded the transaction but it all went down the drain and she couldn’t complete her task in time.
Wang Zhe’s cheerful voice suddenly sounded: [Congratulations Xiao Jiejie! You have accomplished the double achievement, and another ten million has been deposited on you card. Please spend twenty million in one hour!]
Chu Zheng: “……” Not only it doubles the amount time, it also halves the time!
She raised her head and glanced at the director sitting across the table with a more solemn expression, “Director.”
“Miss Gu?” You don’t regret it, do you? They had invested enough in this drama upfront, but later on, he was still worrying about where to find investors …… Ten million was a lot of money for their drama.
“Can I add another ten million?” That bastard doubled the amount!
The director’s facial expression froze, and after a moment of realization, a wide smile immediately blossomed on his face, “Of course, of course!”
What kind of luck did he have today?
Twenty million, ah!
This is a lot of money!
He just met the God of Wealth!!!
Chu Zheng and the director went to a nearby bank and got the transfer done. When the money arrived, the director couldn’t be happier.
[Congratulations Xiao Jiejie, you’ve completed the task! Ten million has been rewarded and deposited on your card.]
Chu Zheng: “……” The award is not doubled?
[That’s right Xiao Jiejie, doubling the amount is a punishment for not accomplishing the task in time, so I can’t double the reward, ah~ Therefore, Xiao Jiejie, make sure to finish your tasks in the allotted time! When the time can no longer be reduced, Xiao Jiejie will have to rewind and start over.]
Chu Zheng: “……”
If she’s not fast enough, the initial 10 million may eventually turn into 100 million, and even if she spends it all, she’ll only get a 10 million reward. Furthermore, if time runs out, she has to rewind ……
It’s exhausting to squander wealth.
What kind of bastard designed this f*ucking system that defies science?!
–
When Chu Zheng returned to her place and was about to close the door, a pair of small hands suddenly appeared to hold it open.
“Are you okay?” The exquisitely dressed woman swept her eyes over Chu Zheng and calmly pushed open the door and she carried her things inside.
This was the original owner’s roommate, Liu Manman.
Liu Manman threw the things in her hands onto the sofa and said: “Gu Chu Zheng, you shouldn’t blame me anymore. I got the role by relying on my ability, and this society is like this, so there’s nothing to be angry about.”
Chu Zheng closed the door and silently looked at Liu Manman.
The woman who backstabbed the original owner …… should be her.
While rummaging through the shopping bags, Liu Manman said in an arrogant tone: “If you want, I can talk to the assistant director and ask him to let you play my maid with a few lines.”
“No need.”
“So high and noble.”
Liu Manman sneered and twisted her slender waist as she went back into her room.
She didn’t feel any bit of guilt for stealing the original owner’s role by using such despicable means.
The original owner and Liu Manman had met while participating in a historical drama as minor roles. Liu Manman hadn’t graduated from any prestigious university and didn’t have any prominent background either, so the two of them played the same type of small roles in average productions.
After getting along with each other, the two of them decide to share an apartment and become roommates.
At first, their relationship was quite harmonious. But gradually, Liu Manman began to boss around the original owner.
Liu Manman was very pretty and a good talker. She gradually managed to get herself better roles with more lines on screen.
Everyone prioritized their own benefits, and Liu Manman was naturally not an exception, and she didn’t bother looking out for the original owner or helping her in any way.
No matter how much Liu Manman disregarded past affections with the previous owner, they still kept a final layer of window paper and didn’t completely tear their faces.
