I Really Didn’t Want to Be Famous

Chapter 55: You Guys Showed Off to the Wrong Person!

Who was he?

Was he the talent that Brother T once spoke highly of at China Gold’s annual meeting?

Was he that dazzling and unexcelled person who stood next to every well-known celebrity in the entertainment business, the ones every newbie looked up to?

Chen Zhiyun stopped breathing in that instant!

Chen Zhiyun was an affiliate under Brother T, but he was just one of the many potential artists in Brother T’s team.

Even though he wasn’t that insignificant, he didn’t have any huge impact either.

Chen Zhiyun felt as though everything was imaginary and fake. In fact, he felt as though he was dreaming.

He rubbed his eyes, but no matter how many times he rubbed them, he could still see the panting Tang Chong standing in front of Lu Yuan. Tang Chong let out a warm bright smile and passed Lu Yuan a version of the contract in a slightly golden frame. His gaze was full of anticipation.

This version of the contract was unfamiliar to Chen Zhiyun. Even though he was unfamiliar with it, it didn’t mean that he had never heard of it before.

This version of the contract was meant for S-grade artists. It was a contract drafted for China Gold’s future superstars. For artists with ordinary potential, it was impossible for them to see the contract and even read the clauses on it, let alone signing it.

Yet, Brother T was passing this contract to Lu Yuan?

Moreover, look at his expression…

Chen Zhiyun’s expression was still as complacent as before, but the deepest ends of his eyes had begun to reveal dumbfounded gazes. At this moment, his heartbeat had seemed to stop. The complacent flush on his face had turned into shock within that few seconds.

Yes, it was a shock!

Lu Yuan, why could he sign this contract?

Something was wrong, what right did Lu Yuan have to sign this contract?

Wasn’t Lu Yuan an indispensable loser, a lowly person?

Since senior high school times, he had always been ordinary, poor, and dumb. Wasn’t his existence an extremely lowly and insignificant one?

How could it be possible!

It must be fake; it must be a joke!

Could it be that this was a farce?

But…

Who could have let Brother T play a supporting role of a farce?

No matter how he tried to rack his brains, he couldn’t find the link between the loser Lu Yuan and the S-grade contract…

After all, this was simply a joke.

Even though the rest of them didn’t know Brother T personally, they weren’t fools.

After they saw Chen Zhiyun’s expression, they became silent.

Some students who understood an S-grade contract had their mouths wide open. Their mouths were so big they could stuff an egg in.

It was unbelievable…

Their own imagination was getting out of control.

“Sorry, I don’t have any intention of signing with China Gold, so I won’t be taking a look at the contract…”

Under the lights, the whole place fell into silence.

No matter how great or awesome the conditions were, Lu Yuan couldn’t sign it.

He understood that he didn’t have much talent.

He was very clear that one would fall harder if they were to climb higher.

Hence, he rejected it.

“I’ve already said it over the phone just now, I’m very sincere about this. Why don’t you look at the conditions on the contract first? It’s much more unrestrictive as compared to the usual S-grade contracts, and it will not affect your role as a movie director. Moreover, if your scripts are not bad, we can even add investments to help you publicize it. The dividends will also follow the usual conditions, and there will be no deduction on your end. China Gold is one of the very best companies within the entertainment business in China, you can rest assured on this…” Tang Chong’s tone was very pressing as all he could think of was getting Lu Yuan to sign the contract.

He already understood that there were some other messages pertaining to Lu Yuan’s identity. He knew that Lu Yuan was now a gold mine with brilliant talent. Signing him would never bring any disadvantage!

Moreover, it had to be done as soon as possible. Especially, since he hadn’t become famous yet!

“I’m sorry, I really can’t. I don’t have any intention to expand into other areas for now…” Lu Yuan still shook his head and rejected it eventually.

“You… There are too many people here. Why don’t we find a quieter place to talk?” Tang Chong’s forehead was filled with sweat. At this moment, he felt as though he had returned to when he first joined China Gold, trying to sign his first artist. He had no way of getting Lu Yuan to sign, but he still looked at Lu Yuan relentlessly.

The S-grade contract had been edited, and it was more unrestrictive now? Moreover, Lu Yuan could continue to be a director? And what about the additional investments and no deduction of dividends?

Did Lu Yuan just reject the edited S-grade contract?

And without any hesitation at that?

What the f**k…

Chen Zhiyun took a gasp of cold air. He felt as though he was in a raging storm, his head spinning.

He almost fainted!

The rest of the people were also stunned beyond words!

They couldn’t believe what they had just seen or heard. Everything felt like a dream!

What exactly had happened?

Who was I, where was I, what was I doing?

They felt as though they had been slapped in the face!

Piak piak piak, the sounds of slapping were never-ending!

“Forget it, since the alumni gathering is about to end, it’s good to go out too.” Lu Yuan hesitated while looking at everyone. Under the lights, he straightened his chest once again as he felt he had to act a bit before leaving. “As I said, I still have work to do. I’m very busy, I’m actually a…”

“Let’s go then, let’s go to ‘Meeting You’ coffeehouse for a deeper discussion. We can take my car, I’ll send you…” Tang Chong grabbed Lu Yuan’s arm immediately after hearing his words.

“You have already interrupted my words for the third time today…..” Lu Yuan had opened his mouth to speak, but his words were stuck at his throat. Finally, he said this sentence after holding it back for so long.

At first, it was such a pleasant stage for him to pose and smack the others right in their faces, but it had become extremely awkward.

It was extremely unbearable for him to hold it back!

“Oh, then you speak now…”

“I don’t want to say it anymore, I’m leaving!”

Lu Yuan shook his head as he could feel the agony in him. He turned and walked toward the door without any hesitation. The situation was totally different from his imagination of smacking Tang Chong in his face and leaving with confidence and ease.

“T, Brother T, how are you? I…”

“You know me?”

“Hi, I’m Chen Zhiyun from your team. The one who got signed this year. I’m with Brother Liu…”

“Oh, I have some impression now. You’re A’Yuan’s classmate?”

“Yes, we’re classmates…”

“Oh, that’s not bad, now I know. I’ll find you for a chat next time. I’ll be leaving first; you guys can continue your gathering.” Tang Chong’s eyes brightened when he saw Chen Zhiyun. He then nodded and quickly followed after Lu Yuan with the contract in his hand.

“…” Chen Feng’s mouth was agape. He had thought that he was dreaming. Thereafter, he slapped himself in the face.

It felt a little painful!

Since it was painful, it meant that he wasn’t dreaming. Everything was real.

At first, he had thought that by inviting someone who wasn’t doing very well, he could set off his sense of existence. But now…

Just who was the one being set off?

“Brother Yun…He, He…”

“…” Chen Zhiyun swallowed a mouth of saliva.

He felt as though he had been slapped in the face fiercely. It was so hard that he couldn’t even recognize his grandmother anymore…

Chen Zhixiang was feeling a little better in comparison. The one being slapped was Chen Zhiyun and not himself…

However, he still didn’t feel comfortable. He was somewhat speechless, so much so that he could feel a fiery pang of pain.

Silence.

There was silence. No one knew what to say to break this kind of incomparable awkwardness…

Suddenly, at this moment…

“F*ck, is this an exclusive interview video? This reporter is, Zhou Shuai?”

“Hold on, the name of this video is called [Barbarian Lu’s Identity Exposé]?”

“Barbarian Lu’s identity has been exposed!”

“F*ck…this is a major piece of news, f*ck!”

“Hold on, this Barbarian Lu is…”

“This…”

“Ah!”

In that instant, the few female students in the corner seemed to have seen something astonishing. They let out sudden screams that broke the quiet moment of awkwardness.

After that…

Chen Zhiyun and Chen Zhixiang turned to look at the ladies. The two of them didn’t know what had happened.

“Haha.”

“You guys showed off to the wrong person!”

After that, they heard sounds of cold laughter coming from Chen Shanbin who raised his phone slightly.
