Chapter 3: A Pervert Should Not Be As Powerful As The Wild Wolf (1)
If it were any other young and innocent girl, they might be very embarrassed upon first hearing that they were gaining popularity by leaning on their rich masters. Not Chu Xiaxing, though. She had been making her way in the industry for decades and had high esteem. She only felt amused upon encountering this.
It was like “A stubborn bachelor claiming to carry the strongest champion to the top.” As a matter of fact, Chu Xiaxing couldn’t possibly come across such a situation. Never did she expect to get one now. When she learned such things like rich masters from their discussion, she didn’t squirm or get scared. After all, how could she be afraid of a mere bachelor who couldn’t even get any attention from a champion?
Chu Xiaxing: I can’t believe I met a foolish and rich man. My spring has arrived!
Seeing her becoming interested in the contract, Han Chuning couldn’t help but look stumped. “Big Aunt, is there a discrepancy between our definitions of ‘rich master’? I’m not talking about one of those rich masters who invest in brand names or Party A but a sugar daddy…”
Chu Xiaxing: “I know, I know. It’s similar to Qin Mei’s rich businessman boyfriend back then. She just needed a new boyfriend and would immediately get a role as the female lead in a new movie.”
Qin Mei was an actress by definition. When she was young, she could be described as resourceful and rather crafty. With every rich businessman boyfriend, she would make an official announcement in a proper manner, having almost married into a wealthy family on several occasions. Chu Xiaxing felt that Qin Mei’s acting skills were average. However, she was perfect at planning her life. In the end, she chose a nice guy as her husband, which made her live a fairly smooth life.
“Alas, I was young and ignorant back then. I insisted on proving myself by sheer brilliance, which scared off the rich men…” Chu Xiaxing lamented bitterly. “Qin Mei pretended to be weak and helpless in front of men for her future. And yet, I was doing everything myself. I almost tired myself to death!”
When Chu Xiaxing had first become a director, she was always looked down upon by others because of her gender. She waged on her determination to surpass male directors, displaying a headstrong attitude of not turning back until she hit the south wall. Although she eventually proved her talent and ability, those people outside did not say, “Female director is not worse than male director.” Instead, they said, “Director Chu is even better than any man.” They did not treat her as a woman at all.
Chu Xiaxing could understand her youthful competitive and high esteem mentality. After struggling all her life, many of the doubts and knots of her youth had been untied long ago. In fact, she would be a fool not to take advantage of them!
Chu Xiaxing: If I could do it all over again, I would like to do the paddling instead of taking the fly. How easy would it be!
Han Chuning muttered, “Isn’t this a bit hypocritical? Moreover, Auntie, your character and background are different than this girl. You can’t do this kind of thing in the first place.”
She continued, “You’d almost rip the other person’s head off when you lose your temper. Yet you still want to be weak and helpless? While everyone else is a green peony, what are you? An iron goddess of mercy?”
Chu Xiaxing refused to be convinced. “I can pretend! I am a director, so my acting skills must be good!”
Han Chuning spat in contempt. “No. Why do you have to pretend? Aunt Qing was without background and resources back then. You’re already a top-level big shot. What on earth is this for…”
Han Chuning did not believe that this rich master’s circle of influence could be more powerful than that of Director Chu. She naturally could not understand Chu Xiaxing’s brain circuit.
Chu Xiaxing straightly justified herself. “I just want to enjoy the feeling of being stuffed with resources for once! I’ve struggled hard all my life. I also want to get something with no effort!”
Han Chuning: “?”
Han Chuning felt absurd. She hurriedly said, “I can also stuff resources for you. Ah, how can our family lack resources…”
Chu Xiaxing shouted in irritation, “You are a domesticated rich master. Your resources are still all mine! On the other hand, this is a wild rich master. I just want to taste the flavor of the resources from outside!”
Han Chuning: “…”
I see. Are you the King of the Sea now? You can even tell the difference between tamed and wild waters?
How could Han Chuning not understand the mentality of her aunt? Looking at her bursting with intermittent enthusiasm, she had found a new game of “rich master.” She was finding it to be fun.
After Chu Xiaxing retired, she would stay at home for a while and boil Chinese medicine like crazy. She wanted to keep a close eye on it every day. Before long, though, she would just toss it aside in boredom. She could no longer develop any interest in it. Instead, she would start playing with something else.
Chu Xiaxing’s emotions fluctuated constantly. The only thing she persisted in for the longest time in her life was filming. When she got older, her body couldn’t handle the intensity of the film productions. In the end, she could only stay home and tinker with fancy stuff. Of course, Han Chuning could not blame her aunt for her love of adventure. Currently, Chu Xiaxing had no way to make movies. How could she spend her time without fooling around with this stuff?
Chu Xiaxing wasn’t interested in the resources. It was more like she had never seen a rich master and was amused. She even had a bit of a playful attitude, like a cat catching a mouse.
As Han Chuning thought about the character of her great aunt, she actually began to silently mourn for the unlucky rich master in the bottom of her heart. She muttered, “Okay. Anyway, you will forget about this in two or three days. I will not be stubborn with you…”
Han Chuning said inwardly, Who asked the rich master to unethically contract a woman? This time, he must just think of it as hitting the iron plate. The employer is a little white flower, while the employee is a king flower.
Han Chuning was thinking of a way to get Chu Xiaxing’s contract back. Chu Xiaxing presumably forgot about the rich master after a while too. Right now, she was just feeling bored. That was why she felt excited at something new. So as long as she was serious about doing something later on, this fad would also be soon forgotten.

In the high-rise building office, Song Wenye had just finished a busy and stressful video conference session. He returned to his office, where he saw Xia Hong sitting on the sofa, idly flipping through a book.
Xia Hong looked at his old friend, who was in a suit and leather shoes. He waved to the other party leisurely and said, “Yo!”
Song Wenye took off his tie and suit jacket, and he hung them on the hanger. He pulled up his shirt sleeves, finally feeling a little relaxed. Afterward, he asked, “How did it go?”
Xia Hong lazily said, “It’s President Song’s first time adopting a starlet. Of course, I did a perfect job. I definitely won’t let you down!”
Song Wenye said in a low voice: “…I have said that it is not an adoption.” He had already explained a thousand or so times, but Xia Hong did not seem to understand human words.
Xia Hong joked, “But you have the energy to pick up girls? Is there time left for entertainment when you are so busy every day?”
Song Wenye was an absolute workaholic. He now had a fixed position, which made him face many wolves in the group. He looked calm and steady outside, not really looking like someone who would get involved with a little-known actress. He had a handsome face and a cold temperament. He hated to button up his collar and seemed not easy to get close to. His body exuded a sense of alienation.
When Song Wenye listened to Xia Hong’s joke, his eyebrows furrowed deeply. Then his gaze moved, silently staring at his babbling friend. He pursed his lips with slight impatience, his eyes full of a warning hint.
Xia Hong straightened his back in a second. He busily waved his hands and said, “Okay, okay, I’m just kidding! I know that her family is kind to you. You sent me to help her. You two are innocent, and there’s no entanglement. I shouldn’t tarnish the reputation of our Mr. Song, the untouched virgin!”
