A few elderly people gathered outside the security room, where Su He was seen holding a brush with his foot and writing on the paper prepared by the security guard: "Indifference to fame and fortune."
Although these four characters appeared simple, by the time Su He finished writing the last character, the security guard was dumbfounded.
Su He's writing appeared plain and unadorned, yet it conveyed a profound artistic conception, encompassing the vastness of the universe. It perfectly complemented the theme of indifference to fame and fortune.
In contrast, the characters hanging on the wall were sharp and domineering in brushwork, but they lacked the same depth of meaning.
One middle-aged woman, observing Su He writing with his foot, looked up at the bewildered security guard and said, "Lao Liu, is this your new apprentice? He writes quite well!"
The security guard smiled bitterly and replied, "I'm not qualified to teach him... Young man, you're deliberately embarrassing me by pretending to be weak!"
Su He grinned, grabbed the takeout box, and ran into the residential complex. There were only two minutes left before the order would be considered late, but fortunately, it was on the second floor, and he successfully completed the delivery.
Upon returning to the entrance, several elderly people were still there, discussing and commenting. Su He didn't have time to stay and chat, so he ran out directly.
"Young man... What's your name? You should leave your mark..." the elderly man chased after him, but Su He had already ridden away on his electric scooter.
This scene left the elderly man greatly shocked, repeatedly murmuring, "Indifference to fame and fortune..."
Suddenly, he made a significant decision—to stop collecting fees from delivery drivers in the future.
True calligraphy is not merely written with hands, but with the heart. Characters reflect one's inner self. Those who are petty and calculative can never write the four characters of "indifference to fame and fortune" well.
...
With the acquisition of a universal access card, Su He's efficiency in delivering takeout improved. In the blink of an eye, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. The capital truly lived up to its reputation as a metropolis—there were many orders, and the prices were high. In just one afternoon, he earned over four hundred.
Once he became familiar with this area, he believed he could further improve.
Before long, Su He was invited into a group by the station manager, and everyone inside was discussing him.
"The new guy is impressive, huh? He's already in the top three. I don't think Qi God's title is safe anymore..."
"Hey, guys, the new guy is sending out red envelopes!"
"Qi God is a dominant figure on the leaderboard, the living map of the capital. It's not that easy to surpass him!"
...
Someone posted a screenshot of the leaderboard in the group. Su He ranked third with forty-five deliveries. The first spot belonged to a person known as Qi God, Qi Zhenguo. Su He had seen his interview on a short video platform before—a man in his forties with an average monthly income of over thirty thousand, a delivery god from morning till night.
Su He greeted everyone in the group and sent a small red envelope, then immediately set the group to "Do Not Disturb" mode.
At this moment, Elder Brother Feng sent a message.
"Su He, there's a role in a play. The director is looking for a handsome man, and I showed him your photo. The director said to give it a try..."
When Su He didn't reply, Elder Brother Feng continued, "Please, please. The director said that if you come, he'll arrange a role with lines for me."
Elder Brother Feng sent a voice message, his voice filled with excitement and pleading.
Su He pondered for a moment and agreed.
He heard that it was a suspenseful crime-solving drama, which piqued his interest even more. He hopped on his electric scooter and arrived at the Film and TV City.
Elder Brother Feng had been waiting outside for a while, and when he saw Su He, he immediately greeted him with excitement.
"Su He, you better perform well later, don't be nervous..."
"It's your first time acting, the director might scold you a bit, but don't take it to heart."
"Even if the director doesn't think highly of you, don't be disheartened. Rome wasn't built in a day. Let's start as extras together, and someday we'll make a breakthrough..."
As they walked, Elder Brother Feng kept encouraging Su He. In this place, there were too many good-looking men and women, and not everyone could get an opportunity. It wasn't enough to rely on looks alone. Without acting skills, it would be difficult to survive.
Soon, the two entered a chaotic set. A Mediterranean-looking man was raging furiously. The reason was that an actor for a certain role had caused some trouble and didn't show up. Today's scenes were crucial, and the male and female lead actors, who were big stars, were currently in the dressing room doing their makeup. They had only half an hour left before shooting.
"Director, this is my friend, Su He..." Elder Brother Feng had a smile on his face, but combined with his appearance, it was disgustingly unsettling.
Yu Qing was the director of this TV drama, "Dark Night Walker," and it was the script he was most satisfied with this year. It told the story of an undercover police officer's pursuit of truth and self-redemption.
When he saw Su He for the first time, he waved his hand and said, "No, you have no presence at all. You can't play the role..."
Yu Qing didn't want to waste time and impatiently continued, "Go find the production crew to reimburse your travel expenses. Let's go!"
Su He didn't expect to be rejected by the director with just one glance on his first day on set.
"Let's go, Su He. There are still many background roles. I'll try to get one for you..." Elder Brother Feng saw Su He dazed and pulled him towards the exit, but he couldn't move him.
"I can do it." Su He looked calmly at Yu Qing.
Seeing that Su He didn't leave, Yu Qing sneered, "Kid, you're too conceited. I've directed so many dramas, and I can tell if someone is suitable or not at a glance. You should go back to delivering your takeout..."
Su He was wearing a delivery uniform, but what Yu Qing wanted was someone with a rich second-generation aura, handsome in appearance but with a dark heart. Charisma is something innate, and Su He clearly didn't possess it.
"What can you act?" Su He didn't leave. He hadn't even started acting, and he was already dismissed. Since the director asked him to come, it meant that his appearance and age were suitable. As for acting skills, how could they be determined at a glance?
Seeing that the two didn't leave, a production crew member walked over and shouted loudly, "Do you have no sense of urgency? Get out of here quickly, or you won't be able to make it in the film and TV industry anymore..."
The crew member tried to pull Su He, but found that he couldn't move him. In a sudden burst of strength, Su He grabbed his wrist, twisted it behind his back, and gently pushed him down. Fortunately, there was a mat on the floor, so he wasn't injured.
"What can you act?"
Su He remained unfazed by the surrounding gazes. He wasn't relying on acting to make a living, so he could simply walk away if needed. However, before leaving, he wanted to know why he couldn't get any roles.
Yu Qing was somewhat surprised by Su He's skills, but quickly regained composure and handed him a script without hesitation. He asked, "Rich second generation, can you act?"
Su He ignored Yu Qing and quickly glanced through the script. Then, he took the sunglasses hanging on Yu Qing's chest, sat down on a nearby chair, and picked up a bottle of mineral water. He tasted it as if it were fine wine and slowly poured it on the ground while delivering one of the lines.
"Whoever can lick the alcohol off the floor will receive a sports car..."
Still wearing his delivery uniform, using a mineral water bottle as a wine glass, Su He's portrayal of the arrogant and domineering nature of a rich second-generation was vivid and lifelike.
The next moment, Su He stood up and walked towards Yu Qing with a smile on his face. He grinned and said, "Get down on the ground and bark like a dog, or I'll have ten men beat you to death!"
Su He's face was smiling, but the line he delivered made Yu Qing clench his buttocks, and the coldness in his eyes sent shivers down his spine.
"Do you think I still have a chance?"
Su He quickly broke character and looked at Yu Qing.
Yu Qing stared at Su He in disbelief. He had actually felt fear just now, but now his eyes brightened, and he immediately said, "Very good, it's you. Production crew, take him to the makeup room..."
"Wait, aren't we going to talk about the money?" Su He looked at Yu Qing.
At this moment, a staff member on the side said, "Five hundred per day, plus travel expenses..."
"In that case, I might as well go back to delivering takeout..."
Su He turned around and walked away. Elder Brother Feng, who had just come out of Su He's performance, was greatly shocked. Five hundred a day? Has Su He gone mad? Why would he still deliver takeout?
't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too.
