Ghost Catching System

When Mu Xue heard that Li Yin had also been admitted to the Imperial Capital Film Academy, her eyes lit up again. She smiled and said, ”It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a background in performing. No one is born knowing how to act. My company has quite a few instructors, and you can learn gradually. It will be greatly beneficial for your future at the film academy.”

”Thank you for that,” Li Yin replied politely.

Mu Xue laughed softly. ”A friend of Mr. Chu is a friend of mine. How about we talk about the collaboration now? It’s almost dinner time anyway, let’s eat together.”

Li Yin replied, ”Sure.”

Mu Xue admired Li Yin’s composed expression. The friends of Chu Hao were certainly not simple characters. An average person would have been over the moon by now, yet he remained so calm.

In reality, how could Li Yin not be excited? His heart was practically leaping out of his chest.

No way, am I really going to act?

He remembered how Qin Feng, that guy, had garnered so many fans just by acting in a web series. And now he, Li Yin, was starting with a film! It was countless times better than what Qin Feng had achieved.

The reason he remained so composed was all thanks to a technique Chu Hao had taught him: ”static posturing.” The so-called ”static posturing” meant that in any situation, one should not show interest in the matter at hand, making it seem to others that you didn’t care about anything. This way, others would become curious about you, achieving the desired effect of looking impressive.

Li Yin was secretly thrilled. He greatly admired Chu Hao for having researched the art of posturing so thoroughly.

Li Haizhen finally spoke up, his face flushed, ”Cousin, can... can I go with you?”

Li Yin smiled. His cousin must be regretting his past attitude. He’d looked down on him before, and now he learned that Li Yin had not only been admitted to the Imperial Capital Film Academy but also had someone offering him a movie role.

The cool front he’d put on today could be bragged about for ten years!

Li Yin said, ”This is my cousin. Sister Xue, do you think there might be a small role suitable for him?”

Mu Xue nodded. ”Hmm, let me think.”

After the four of them left, Tang Bai’s expression was one of utter dejection, and he was filled with immense regret.

Mu Xue drove a red Maserati and asked with a smile, ”Mr. Chu, did you drive here?”

Chu Hao nodded. ”Yes. Li Yin, bring the car over.”

”Alright then!” Li Yin went to another part of the parking garage.

Li Haizhen was also curious. Chu Hao and his cousin had driven here? He hadn’t noticed earlier. What kind of car could it be?

However, when a super luxurious sports car pulled up in front of them, he was completely stunned.

”This... this is a limited edition Koenigsegg!”

Li Haizhen knew a bit about sports cars. He guessed this one must cost tens of millions.

Li Haizhen rubbed his eyes. Seeing that the driver was indeed his cousin, he drew in a sharp breath.

Li Yin felt particularly proud. Even though the car wasn’t his, he and Chu Hao were brothers.

Mu Xue wasn’t surprised at all that Chu Hao could drive such a car. Even if he flew a plane, it wouldn’t have been surprising.

They arrived at a restaurant, the tallest in Anli City. Mu Xue had also invited another friend, who was also a beautiful woman.

Mu Xue introduced, ”This is my friend Lan Qi, and she is also one of the shareholders of the media company.”

Li Yin and Li Haizhen stared at Lan Qi. She was very beautiful, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a stunning figure.

Her long black hair was held back by a diamond chain. Her fair, delicate cheeks seemed to glow, yet they couldn’t outshine her clear, luminous eyes.

Through her thin white gauze blouse, one could faintly glimpse a tight-fitting garment beneath, outlining her beautiful curves. Her ethereal and unique aura, combined with an attire that seemed incredibly innocent, made her exceptionally eye-catching.

Lan Qi smiled, an enchanting expression that bloomed like a flower. ”Hello, everyone,” she said.

Mu Xue hurriedly introduced, ”This is Chu Hao, Mr. Chu.”

Lan Qi turned to Chu Hao. Her expression flickered with surprise for an instant, but she concealed it well. ”Hello, Mr. Chu,” she said.

With that, the two of them shook hands.

Lan Qi had beautiful hands, but Chu Hao noticed calluses on them. Is this woman a martial arts practitioner?

After they let go, Lan Qi’s little finger gently brushed across Chu Hao’s palm.

Chu Hao was taken aback. He was no longer the naive young man he’d been months ago. Was this woman trying to hint at something to Brother Hao with that little finger brushing his palm?

The five of them ordered. Li Haizhen had been to this restaurant once before, as someone else’s guest. The prices were extremely high; even a simple glass of juice cost two to three hundred yuan. He couldn’t help but feel envious. This is the life of the rich!

Li Yin, who usually didn’t pay attention to such details, was also shocked when he saw the prices on the menu.

”No way! Twenty thousand yuan for one dish? Are they serving gold?” Li Yin couldn’t help exclaiming.

Hearing this, Chu Hao was also startled. Twenty thousand yuan for one dish? Wouldn’t a single meal here cost hundreds of thousands?

Mu Xue and Lan Qi both chuckled, which made Li Yin feel a bit embarrassed.

Mu Xue looked at Chu Hao and said, ”It’s an honor to have dinner with you, Mr. Chu.”

Mu Xue greatly admired Chu Hao. Now that she had this opportunity, she was determined to get to know him better.

She knew Chu Hao was never short of beautiful women, so she had brought Lan Qi along. Lan Qi was the prettiest of all her friends and also her closest confidant.

After ordering, Mu Xue turned to Li Yin and said, ”My movie is a fantasy. I think you’re suited for the lead role. In the movie, the protagonist is a high school student who, after a strange encounter, starts to exorcise demons. For this movie, I’m planning an initial investment of fifty million yuan, with more to follow.”

Li Yin knew nothing about movies.

However, Li Haizhen was very aware. An initial investment of fifty million yuan? This is definitely a major production!

Li Haizhen was filled with envy.

Li Yin said helplessly, ”I don’t know much about acting. With such a big investment, aren’t you afraid I’ll mess everything up?”

Mu Xue shook her head and replied, ”Don’t underestimate yourself; I believe you can do it.”

Li Yin was touched. He knew that if it weren’t for Chu Hao, she would never have had such faith in him. This was all thanks to Chu Hao.

”Alright, I’ll give it my all.”

”As for your acting fee…”

Li Yin waved his hand and said, ”I don’t want the acting fee. Consider it a learning experience for me. If I’m not up to scratch, feel free to replace me. It’s better than incurring losses.”

His decisive manner impressed Mu Xue.

The five of them began to eat. Neither Li Yin nor Chu Hao had ever eaten a twenty-thousand-yuan dish in their lives.

They were surprised to find that a dish was only fist-sized and could be finished in three bites.

Chu Hao couldn’t help but say, ”Is that all for twenty thousand?”

The portion on the plate was incredibly small. Chu Hao couldn’t help but ask, ”What is this made of?”

The waiter replied, ”This is roe from the large yellow croaker.”

A small serving of fish roe for twenty thousand yuan—has the world gone mad?
