The next morning, in a spacious and bright large office within a CBD building.
Originally, this space was already at full capacity with over twenty employees.
Now, there were roughly thirty people bustling around.
Of course.
These people weren’t here to work but were part of a crew filming a public service advertisement.
A portly middle-aged man looked at Lin Fan and asked with a smile,
“Mr. Lin, everything’s good on your end, right? You’ve memorized all the lines from last night?”
Lin Fan smiled and replied,
“I’m completely ready.”
Director Liu, the middle-aged man, said,
“That’s great. We’ll shoot the scene in one take later.”
Though he spoke of a one-take shot,
Director Liu wasn’t entirely confident.
Lin Fan had no acting experience.
Apart from being handsome and wealthy,
Director Liu couldn’t think of any other adjectives to describe the man in front of him!
At least he belonged to the category of fresh-faced young men.
If he were some sleazy, overweight guy,
the advertisement’s impact would’ve been greatly diminished.
So, this wasn’t a loss.
Meanwhile, Director Liu exchanged a few more pleasantries with Lin Fan.
Soon, they would begin filming.
During their conversation,
Lin Fan’s gaze occasionally drifted toward a stunning figure.
The star of the crew—Lin An'an.
She was wearing a white blouse, a pencil skirt, and flesh-colored stockings that exuded sensuality.
The professional attire perfectly accentuated her curves.
Her milky-white skin and enviable figure made anyone who saw her feel their blood boil.
Lin Fan couldn’t help but admire her for a while!
A devilish smile crept onto his lips.
The money wasn’t wasted.
Although it was a bit expensive,
getting to interact with Lin An'an made it all worth it.
While Lin Fan was sizing up Lin An'an,
she was also looking at him.
Of course.
Lin An'an had no real interest in Lin Fan.
She was merely curious.
It hadn’t been long since their last encounter at a banquet.
Even if Lin Fan were the protagonist of this world,
Lin An'an believed she wouldn’t have any entanglement with him!
But fate had other plans.
Who would’ve thought?
Not long after,
Lin Fan somehow managed to connect with the production team
and secured the male lead role.
Director Liu waved Lin An'an over.
“An'an, come meet Mr. Lin Fan.”
Lin An'an stood up and walked over.
“Hello, we meet again.”
She had no intention of shaking hands with Lin Fan.
Lin Fan didn’t mind, a hint of delight flashing across his face.
“Miss Lin An'an, your memory is impressive.”
Watching the two exchange greetings,
Director Liu was baffled.
This is just ridiculous!
So, you two already know each other?
Then what was the point of my introduction?
Of course, Lin An'an knew Lin Fan.
At the last banquet,
he had blatantly tried to steal the Yang family’s skincare business.
Because his own product was inferior,
he left in disgrace.
For that reason alone,
Lin An'an’s first impression of Lin Fan was quite poor.
As an award-winning actress, she was adept at masking her emotions and putting on a facade.
Even Lin Fan wasn’t easily able to detect it.
Especially since he was feeling a bit too pleased with himself at the moment.
Soon, Director Liu called for everyone to get into position.
Lin Fan composed himself once more.
The public service advertisement was about labor contract law.
It depicted a heartless boss exploiting employees,
and the employees standing up for their rights using the law.
The script had been shortened from around twenty lines to half that.
But Lin Fan didn’t mind.
As long as it gave him a chance to get closer to Lin An'an,
he was willing to play any role.
Hmm…
Lin Fan’s role was the heartless boss.
“Mr. Lin Fan, don’t be nervous. Take it easy. If one take doesn’t work, we’ll do another,”
Director Liu reminded him.
It wasn’t uncommon for wealthy young men to buy roles just to get close to Lin An'an.
To put it bluntly,
Lin Fan was definitely not the first.
And he certainly wouldn’t be the last.
After all, Lin An'an was a highly sought-after prize.
No boyfriend, no scandals, and no romantic history.
Who wouldn’t want to marry such a big star and bring her home as a wife?
Seeing Lin Fan nod,
Director Liu picked up the megaphone and announced,
“Positions, everyone!”
“Five, four, three, two, one! Action!”
The camera first focused on the bustling extras.
These men and women, dressed in office attire, were either on the phone, printing documents, or staring intently at their computer screens.
In short, they looked extremely busy.
Then the camera shifted to Lin Fan.
Sitting in his boss’s chair in a suit, Lin Fan had a dark expression.
He glanced at his wristwatch, then at the door.
His facial expressions were spot-on.
He gave off the vibe of someone whose anger was about to explode but was skillfully suppressed.
Director Liu and the rest of the crew couldn’t help but gasp.
Yes!
Exactly!
This was the feeling they wanted!
Restrained fury!
Not only was this young man handsome,
but his acting was also impressive.
Director Liu was momentarily stunned.
If it weren’t for a crew member nudging him with an elbow,
reminding him to switch the camera angle,
he might’ve missed his cue.
Next, the camera jumped to the office door.
With a loud bang,
the door was pushed open.
Lin An'an hurriedly walked in.
As an award-winning actress,
her acting skills were naturally impeccable.
She looked exactly like an employee who was late for work and worried about getting caught by the boss.
After Lin An'an’s scene was shot,
Director Liu thought it might be a good idea to take a break.
They could splice this part in during post-production.
After all, he assumed Lin Fan might need some time to adjust.
But soon,
he discarded that thought entirely.
The camera focused on Lin Fan.
Lin Fan took three quick strides to stand in front of Lin An'an.
His brows were furrowed with unmistakable anger.
His voice raised several decibels.
“It’s you again! How many times have I told you?”
“Don’t be late for work, don’t be late for work! Didn’t you hear me?”
Lin An'an and the others were momentarily stunned.
His presence was exactly like that of a real ruthless boss!
This was a natural performance!
Unlike the others,
Lin An'an quickly regained her composure and replied meekly,
“Boss, I was only half a minute late.”
Lin Fan looked down at her arrogantly, “Half a minute? Half a minute isn’t time?!”
“Did you finish the triple workload I made you do for free last night?”
Lin An'an nodded, quickly pulling the documents from her briefcase and handing them to Lin Fan respectfully.
She looked utterly pitiful.
Lin Fan took the documents, scanned them for a few seconds, then flung them into the air like confetti.
“Even if you finished it, so what? You were still late!”
“You’re fired!”
Lin Fan smirked disdainfully, then turned and walked away.
The camera lingered on Lin An'an’s stunned expression for a moment.
Then it shifted to Lin Fan’s retreating figure.
The entire crew was in awe.
This guy’s got chops!
Not only was his acting superb,
but his delivery of the lines was also full of emotion.
This didn’t feel like acting at all!
It was as if they’d found the real deal!
Wow.
“Director Liu, Director Liu, that’s a wrap. Let’s move to the next scene,”
a crew member snapped out of it and reminded him.
Director Liu swallowed hard and quickly nodded.
“Right, right, let’s get ready for the second half.”
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack.
