RBCT Chapter 22 Cultivating Political Connections
Chapter 22 Cultivating Political Connections
The world is going to the dogs, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be!
It's not that old people have become bad, it's that the really bad people have grown old.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Didn't you take me there on your own initiative?" Yu Liguo gave off the impression of someone who was trying to deny everything after getting back together with him.
No wonder he's Yu Zheng's third uncle; his shameless behavior is exactly the same as his.
"You win!"
Xu An gritted his teeth and spat out those words, then turned and left.
Before he could go far, Yu Liguo's voice rang out behind him.
"Where are you going? I haven't even finished speaking and you're already leaving?"
"Why aren't you leaving? Are you going to stay and let me humiliate you?"
"Wrong. I already said that you're quite to my liking. I know what you want, and I didn't say I wouldn't do it for you."
"Um?"
Xu An felt his brain wasn't working properly. What kind of operation was this?
"Isn't it just because I'm Yu Zheng's third uncle that you want me to make connections? I know what you're thinking."
"Brilliant! Uncle is truly brilliant!"
"Your uncle isn't just tall, he's also really hard!"
"..."
"Don't worry, I've been asking around about you these past few days. You're a pretty good kid, suited for this industry. Otherwise, I wouldn't have agreed to help you."
"So you've been gathering intelligence on me these past few days?"
Xu An looked at him with surprise.
I never expected this old geezer to be so cautious; I couldn't tell at all.
"You think you can eat shit? Are you worth my time? I just asked someone randomly."
I understand, he spent all his time at the spa.
Compared to Xu An, the young woman was much more alluring to him!
Although the old man was quite clever, Xu An had just managed to hit the mark with his preferences.
Even knowing that Xu An had ulterior motives, Yu Liguo was not someone who could control himself.
He was put to the test, but he couldn't withstand it.
His room had both the door and windows open, allowing bad influences to seep in.
"He should be coming to the set today. You come with me."
"Thank you, Uncle. From now on, you're my uncle."
"Come on, I don't have a nephew like you who takes his uncle to find women!"
So pretty!
After leaving Yu Liguo's place, Xu An went to the film set again.
Before leaving, you should also pick up some attribute orbs; every little bit counts.
[Anxiety +1]
[Panic look +1]
[Fatigued limb +1]
[Appearance +0.1]
【…】
"I heard you wrapped up filming today?"
Just as Xu An was busy collecting attributes, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
Li Yitong was seen crossing her arms and sizing up Xu An.
As she spoke, a faint smile played on her lips.
It seems Xu An is leaving; she seems quite happy about it.
"What? Are you planning to celebrate?"
"Dream on! You, a minor supporting character, think you can get me, the lead actor, to pay for you?"
"Shall I treat you?"
"Eh?"
Li Yitong blinked, momentarily unable to follow Xu An's train of thought.
"I was just saying it offhand. After all, I don't have much money, how could I possibly afford to hire a big star like you?"
"Stop being sarcastic. I'm just lucky at most, but essentially I'm no different from you."
Versailles' words made Xu An twitch the corner of his mouth.
As expected of you!
"Don't let the extras hear you say that, or they'll definitely talk behind your back."
"Come on, are you going to continue filming here after this?"
"Probably. Without the help of a benefactor, one can only make a living by playing minor roles."
Li Yitong fell silent for the first time, pursing her lips as if lost in thought.
Actually, she had a decent impression of Xu An. Although he had lied to her, he was at least quite trustworthy, and his acting skills and looks were also quite good.
Most importantly, Xu An and Tian Xiwei are classmates.
She genuinely liked Tian Xiwei and treated her like a very lovable younger sister.
"You can film in Hengdian for now, and I'll call you if there's a suitable role for your next project."
"You don't want me to work hard anymore?" Xu An's eyes glanced at Li Yitong. "It's not that it's impossible."
"Get lost! I knew you weren't a good person. I didn't expect you to actually try to hit on me. Next time you see Xiaotian, tell her that."
Xu An shrugged noncommittally.
Laugh to death!
It was as if he was afraid.
2:30 p.m.
The sound of brakes came from outside the film set, and several staff members escorted Yu Zheng, who had come to inspect the site, into the film set.
Upon seeing this, Xu An immediately perked up.
At this point, Yu Zheng was someone that ordinary people could not reach, but Xu An would be able to sit with him in a while and might even be able to get some resources from him.
"Hey kid, what are you looking at at my door?" Yu Liguo poked his head out and glared at Xu An.
"Your eldest nephew is here, don't forget what you promised me."
"Come inside and have some water. What's the rush? He needs to check on the film crew's progress and discuss other matters with the director. What good would it do for us to go over there now?"
"Uncle, you're still the best!"
"Get lost, just don't forget to take me to some nice places in the future."
In Yu Liguo's room, Xu An sat in a chair but was like an ant on a hot pan, constantly getting up to peek out the door.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous; he was more afraid of missing this opportunity. He needed to take a good look, because it would be terrible if Yu Zheng left.
"Can you stop walking around in front of me? Are you in such a hurry? I'll take you there after I finish this cigarette."
The old man's words were like a gentle breeze in July, making Xu Andun feel comfortable.
I've been waiting for you to say that!
In a room on set, Yu Zheng had just finished talking with the director and was about to go out to explore the film set when he saw his third uncle arrive with someone.
"Third Uncle, what brings you here? Didn't I tell you not to come looking for me unless it's absolutely necessary?"
"What nonsense are you spouting? I'm your third uncle, what's wrong with me contacting you? It's like the crew doesn't know our relationship!"
Yu Zheng was somewhat helpless with his third uncle, so he could only turn his attention to Xu An.
He vaguely remembered this person and had seen his performance yesterday, but since he only wanted to promote actresses right now, he didn't pay much attention to him.
Unexpectedly, this person actually brought the matter to his third uncle.
"Third Uncle, who is this?"
"I think this young man in your crew is quite good and has great talent. It would be a shame to let his talent go to waste, so I brought him here for you to meet."
"Is that really the case? Did they give you something you couldn't refuse?"
It's no wonder these two are uncle and nephew; Yu Liguo knew all about his quirks.
"No way, it's just to let you get to know me."
"Hello, Producer. My name is Xu An. I'm a student at the Shanghai Theatre Academy and I've been filming in Hengdian recently."
"I remember you. Since you've brought your connections to my third uncle, I'll give you a chance. I can't personally help you, but if a suitable film crew comes along, I'll let you go!"
"Thank you, Producer Yu. I am already extremely grateful," Xu An immediately complimented.
