Chapter 28: Are You Showing Off?

What’s that about? It’s our first meeting and he’s already asking about my position.

Wang Hao answered without a second thought, “Lighting assistant. Small position, haha.”

“Ah, that.” Lu Tong pushed up his glasses quietly, then turned around and kept silent.

He doesn’t seem so friendly…

Is he looking down on a gofer? What’s wrong with a gofer? Gofers can also earn a living!

Of course, if the young man didn’t want to talk, Wang Hao wouldn’t force him. So, he turned around and talked to Moon Zheng and Ma Ming. “You’re both my seniors. Please forgive me when I do something wrong.”

“Don’t be so humble.” Moon Zheng was the friendliest among them. She said with smiling eyes, “We’re all new here. They hired us last Saturday. I only just realized how difficult it is to get a job and earn money after graduating from university.”

Moon Zheng was about 1.62m tall, and a bit on the petite side. Her big, bright eyes were especially beautiful.

The three boys were happy for sure to have a pretty girl in the car, especially Lu Tong; he hadn’t taken his eyes off Moon Zheng since he got in. Wang Hao only wanted to chat and kill time, but Lu Tong thought Wang Hao definitely had bad intentions. Lu Tong narrowed his eyes and joined the conversation. “Hi, Moon Zheng. We’ll be working together from now on. Tell me if you need anything.”

“Hi.” Moon Zheng smiled and waved. “Nice to meet you.”

Lu Tong glared at Wang Hao, then asked Moon Zheng, “Can I call you Moon? Moon, which school did you graduate from?”

“Zhonghai Communication University.” Moon Zheng asked, “You?”

Lu Tong had deliberately asked this question. He pushed his glasses up slightly and said proudly, “Master’s double degree from Zhonghai Finance, Economics and Business Management.”

“Wow!” As expected, Moon Zheng was astonished when she heard “master’s double degree from Zhonghai Finance, Economics and Business Management.” “You’re awesome!”

Ma Ming also exclaimed in surprise, “Awesome, Tong!”

Wang Hao smiled as well. “What an outstanding student, haha!”

“It’s alright,” Lu Tong had a subtle smile on his face and he narrowed his eyes slightly.

From the moment he saw Moon Zheng, he had already fallen for this cheerful girl. So, he had been thinking about how to get rid of his rivals.

Among the three men in the car, the driver and Ma Ming couldn’t pose a threat at all — the driver was in his 30s and Ma Ming was dumb. Wang Hao was the only one who looked a bit handsome and who could easily attract the attention of girls. Lu Tong had to eliminate him as soon as possible.

Lu Tong turned to focus on Wang Hao. He looked at Wang Hao and asked, “What about you?”

Looking at Lu Tong, Wang Hao knew he liked Moon Zheng, but that was someone else’s matter, after all. He had nothing to do with it. So, Wang Hao replied in a half-mocking, half-joking tone, “Zhonghai University of Science and Technology, the so-called diploma mill.”

“Pfft!” All of them burst into laughter.

Normally speaking, what Wang Hao said would imply that he wasn’t planning to participate in this fight, and that he couldn’t pose any threat to anybody. At the end of the day, a master’s graduate with a double degree was sitting right in front of him. Any girl would choose the more promising guy.

However, Lu Tong obviously wouldn’t let it go. He said with a sardonic smile, “Your education background isn’t so good. I know that this lighting assistant position is only a temporary job for two months. What do you plan to do afterward? Find another temporary job?”

Hm? You’re not done yet?

Are you showing off?

You don’t need to degrade me to hit on a girl. Do you want to use me in comparison to prove how successful you are?

“After two months?” Wang Hao pondered and said, “Perhaps I’ll write novels to earn some pocket money.”

“Write novels?” Lu Tong pushed up his glasses again, then smiled. “It isn’t easy to earn money by writing novels. Will you end up relying on your parents?”

“Maybe.” Wang Hao chuckled.

If you have no sense of propriety, don’t blame me for stealing your show! Wang Hao looked out the window with his attractive eyes, looking extremely handsome.

He replied with a very famous quote from the previous world —

“In any case, you need to have a dream. What if it comes true?”

“Well said!” They were all touched by what Wang Hao said and started clapping. Moon Zheng even yelled, “We should all indeed have a dream. My dream is to earn more than 10,000 yuan a month. Hahahaha!”

Even the driver turned around and said with a smile, “Well said, haha. Everyone needs a dream. You said you write novels. Have you started? I like to read when I’m bored. It relaxes me.”

“Yes, but I just started.” Wang Hao was a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, “When my novel is published, I’ll let you have a look, but don’t laugh at me.”

“Haha. Our Manager Zhang once said, ‘Successful or not, all results of hard work should be encouraged.’” Mr. Li nodded. “Do send me the link. I’ll support you. Manager Zhang also likes to read novels. I’ll recommend it to him as well.”

They’re my potential readers! Wang Hao nodded and said, “Okay!”

Seeing Wang Hao steal his thunder, Lu Tong frowned, then leaned back and murmured, “What a meaningless dream.”

…

The car drove along the road. At around 8:30am, it stopped at the entrance to a commercial street.

“We’re here.” Mr. Li got out, then opened the door. “This is where they’re filming today.”

The four of them got out of the car and looked around. Wang Hao didn’t see a crew member anywhere and there weren’t any cameras or tracks. He asked curiously, “Mr. Li, where’s the crew? I don’t see anyone here!”

“Follow me.” Mr. Li smiled and led the way. Soon, they arrived at an Internet café. A crew member with a red hat ran up to stop them. “They’re filming inside. If you want to surf the Internet, please come back tomorrow. Thank you!”
