The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 558: Chapter 234 Gems and Redemption_4

The way he groveled, anyone who didn’t know better would probably think he was just a minor player.

But Shen Yutong, who knew a little about the entertainment circle, naturally didn’t think so. Although he didn’t have the power to decide on big roles, his influence on the casting of small parts was enough to make him a major figure in the eyes of countless new actors.

”It would be great if Miss Shen could send me her actor’s profile... If she doesn’t have one, I have a template she can fill out... Then there’s the matter of payment; the budget for the female supporting role is 800,000, but since Miss Shen is new, it might not reach that... Mr. Zhou, do you think 600,000 will be okay?”

This conversation left Shen Yutong stunned until Zhou Wang looked at her for confirmation. Only then did she hurriedly nod her head.

600,000!

What a huge sum...

And what kept Shen Yutong’s mind restless was the thought that if she acted a bit more coquettishly, with Zhou Wang’s relaxed attitude, she might end up getting the second female lead, and strictly following the entertainment industry’s tiered system, it could mean a pay of over two million.

Of course, Shen Yutong wouldn’t be so thoughtless. In fact, not to mention the third female lead, even a fourth would make her ecstatic.

At this moment, in the apartment, Zhang Lifang finally recovered from extreme shock and urgently asked, ”Yutong, can you really earn 600,000? Isn’t this too good to be true?”

”They’re a legitimate production team, I have to go there and sign a contract. Besides, what would they scam me for? It’s not some low-tier drama, it’s the second season of last year’s hit ’Chu Tian Yao’...”

”I’ve watched that show...”

Shen Yurou, who hadn’t spoken until now, mumbled quietly.

With Shen Yurou’s endorsement, Zhang Lifang had no more doubts. All at once, she smiled so widely that the wrinkles around her eyes showed. Grabbing Shen Yutong’s hand, she said repeatedly, ”Oh my, my Yutong is doing so well, going to be a big star...”

”Huh, you really think it’s so easy to make it in that circle? There will be times when you’ll be crying!”

Liu Chao, whose expression was dark enough to drip water, smirked coldly.

”At least for now, I’m smiling.”

Shen Yutong replied softly.

”Fine, fine, fine... Tongtong, it seems this year you’ve really grown some wings!”

Overwhelmed with rage, Liu Chao pointed at Shen Yutong before turning and storming upstairs with heavy steps. Moments later, he came down carrying his son, who was still sleeping.

”I don’t need you to kick us out, I’ll book us a hotel room right now and stay in a five-star!”

”Mom, let’s go!”

Liu Chao picked up a suitcase and spoke in a deep voice.

”This...”

Zhang Lifang hesitated.

”Mom, what, are you staying to keep your good daughter company?”

Liu Chao asked sarcastically.

”Ay, ay, well... let me pack my things.”

In hesitation, Zhang Lifang dared not provoke Liu Chao and hurriedly started packing.

”And you... Shen Yurou, why are you still standing there?”

Liu Chao turned to the unmoving Shen Yurou, his gaze so violent it seemed murderous.

Shen Yurou flinched but dared not resist, about to turn away when Shen Yutong held her back.

”Jie, you stay.”

Shen Yurou froze, bewildered, looking at Shen Yutong.

”Sister, come with me to the set, I need someone with me the first time, and I’ll pay you a salary. Consider it a getaway...”

Shen Yutong’s eyes held a plea.

”Ha, Shen Yutong, as if making your own mess isn’t enough, now you want to drag your sister into it too?”

Liu Chao chuckled angrily and pointed directly at Shen Yurou, ”Damn it, Shen Yurou, are you leaving or not!”

”I...”

Shen Yurou instinctively took a step, but Shen Yutong held her tightly.

”Fine, fine, you’d better stay with Shen Yutong forever, don’t ever come back!”

Nearly losing his mind, Liu Chao said one last thing, ignoring the crying child in his arms and slamming the door when leaving. Behind him, Zhang Lifang, carrying a suitcase, stomped her feet, pointed at Shen Yutong, and hurriedly chased after him.

”Yutong, I, I can’t...”

Shen Yurou panicked, wanting to break free and chase after them.

But Shen Yutong already knew what would happen if Shen Yurou went to be alone with Liu Chao again, so she wouldn’t let her go. She merely held Shen Yurou tightly, keeping her from moving.

Resigned to her gentle nature, Shen Yurou couldn’t break away; she stood there crying softly.

”Yutong, this will kill me...”

”Jie, believe me, I will definitely get us both out.”

Shen Yutong held the tear-streaked Shen Yurou tightly and whispered.

Always carrying a sense of hesitation in whatever she did, at this moment, Shen Yutong’s eyes showed unprecedented determination.
