Chapter 102: Chapter 101: I Gave You a Chance, but You Blew It (Requesting Monthly Tickets)

Stayed in the female celebrity’s room for half an hour.

The time quickly passed, but Qi Hao, in order to act naturally, did not immediately get up to leave. Instead, he continued watching TV.

"Knock knock~"

The sound of knocking came, and Qi Hao looked towards the door in surprise.

Uh, caught in the act?

You can stay out all night, but can you not suddenly come home!

Wan Qian glanced at Qi Hao, smiled with her lips pursed, then went to open the door. It was her assistant who came in.

She seemed to have just graduated, looking very fresh-faced.

And quite petite, probably less than 1.6 meters tall.

"This crappy place really has nothing to buy, I am totally fed up!"

The little assistant complained as she came in.

And then...

She saw Qi Hao in Wan Qian’s room.

Qi Hao!

"Sister... he... how come Teacher Qi Hao is here?"

The assistant couldn’t help but take a couple of steps closer, scrutinizing Wan Qian to see if there were any love marks on her.

She even sniffed the air, trying to detect any strange smells in the room.

She even glanced at the trash can to see if there were any used condoms in there.

Not sure if she was overthinking things.

The assistant always felt that the look in these two people’s eyes was full of ambiguity, always gazing at each other with a kind of cheeky expression.

This... I was only out for a moment.

"I came over to watch TV with Wan Qian, my TV over there somehow has no signal..." Qi Hao explained a bit.

"I asked my assistant to buy some snacks, Teacher Qi Hao, you should join us,"

Wan Qian warmly invited.

"Snacks, thank you, then I won’t be polite." Qi Hao didn’t stand on ceremony, being too formal would be hurtful.

Wan Qian’s assistant observed that Qi Hao’s attention was mainly on the TV.

Thus she didn’t suspect anything between the two.

However, she soon muttered to herself, two people, a man and a woman, young and staying in a hotel room, and you choose to watch TV?

Qi Hao, how are you any different from Sun Wukong, freezing the fairies and then going off to eat peaches.

You were given a chance, but you’re useless!

Heard that Qi Hao has a "Fortunate Wife’s Destiny", getting involved in rumors with him can bring fame.

So it seems her own star isn’t any more effective.

Neither of you is useful!

"Where’s your assistant?" Wan Qian curiously asked.

Logically speaking, Qi Hao’s assistant should also have a separate room and TV, no need to come here to borrow.

"My assistant went back, she isn’t exactly my assistant, has other duties at the company, Zhang Nan is my manager, he went to the capital to handle endorsement matters for me, so recently it’s just me alone here."

Qi Hao explained a bit.

However, there was a problem here, which is that he had the key to Zhang Nan’s room, if the TV really was broken, he could have gone to Zhang Nan’s room to watch.

Wan Qian didn’t know these details.

Thus she was moved by the fact that Qi Hao didn’t put on airs as a big star.

Assistants of celebrities can handle a lot of things.

Not to mention daily chores, some assistants even wash underwear.

As for being... used, that’s a matter of personal conduct.

This is outside the scope of normal duties.

Qi Hao is the type to handle things himself if he can, so with or without an assistant doesn’t matter.

After two episodes of the TV series finished, Qi Hao immediately got up to say goodbye.

After he left, the assistant puzzledly asked Wan Qian, "He just... really came to watch TV? Didn’t chat about anything else?"

"No!" Wan Qian shook her head.

She was a bit suspicious at first, but after observing Qi Hao’s behavior, she had no more doubts.

To suspect anything beyond that would mean overestimating herself.

"He didn’t, but you could have, why didn’t you seize the opportunity?" the assistant was exasperated.

"What’s all this nonsense, you really believe those rumors could make someone famous."

Wan Qian was amused by her assistant.

You’re short, young, how come you act like an old madam promoting her girls?

"Better to believe it than not!" the assistant fumed, still feeling it was a missed opportunity.

Willing to risk everything to pull the emperor down from his horse.

And you don’t need such a risk, just need to date him.

"Oh, if I were to take the initiative, we might have become famous long ago."

Wan Qian sighed, ever since her debut, she had encountered many overt and covert rules of the industry.

Since even those she refused, why add trouble for Qi Hao?

"But that’s different, Qi Hao is so handsome, don’t tell me you have no feelings at all for him, the way you were shy during the intimate scenes didn’t look like acting."

The little assistant argued with confidence.

Feeling Wan Qian would regret missing out on someone like Qi Hao in the future.

"Acting in intimate scenes with a handsome guy, if I wasn’t a bit shy, I’d just be a block of wood, I’m not frigid after all."

Wan Qian wasn’t shy about her feelings, very candid.

"Didn’t you say if you find the right person, you’d get married? I think Qi Hao is quite suitable, the babies would surely be good-looking, I could even help with the kids."

The little assistant envisioned a wonderful future, even planning her career around it.

"Oh, stop it, what level am I, what level is he, even if I made the first move, he wouldn’t look my way."

Wan Qian truly couldn’t understand why her assistant would plan to downgrade from an assistant to a nanny.

"Sigh, Qi Hao is really quite popular, many actresses openly express fondness for him, willing to be his girlfriend or even marry him."

The assistant also feels she’s being too idealistic.

The gap between her artist and Qi Hao is indeed quite large.

But just now she saw Qi Hao and Wan Qian in the same room, looking quite harmonious, so inevitably, some thoughts arose.

Wan Qian is different from the typical female celebrities.

Many female celebrities feel that their careers are more important, so they either wait to marry into a wealthy family or choose not to marry.

But Wan Qian gets married when she meets the right one.

She’s not against having children.

As long as her husband doesn’t confine her to being a housewife.

"Alright, I need to game now. If I don’t log on, I’ll be late, and I’m the team leader."

Wan Qian set aside her doubts about Qi Hao coming to his room and started playing games seriously.

In "Wait and See," her screen time is relatively little, so it doesn’t even interfere with her gaming.

Using a laptop to play these large 3D games is never as smooth as using a desktop computer.

Qi Hao returned to his room, and the service staff had already fixed his TV.

Actually, the network cable was just loose, and plugging it back in solved the issue.

He confirmed the task completion.

[Task Seventeen completed, reward: scriptwriting +10, script "Love Across Time and Space," career initial funding 500,000]

[Completion of the task, you get a training opportunity]

[Choose one of three training NPCs: Wan Qian/Hei Liu/Hei Qi]

[New task is now released]

[Task Eighteen: Award ceremonies have always been a big social scene for celebrities, and now that you’ve made your mark, attend an award ceremony and add five new senior contacts. Task difficulty: 3 stars, time limit: 90 days]

[Task completion reward: stealing +10, script "Love in the Depths of Memory/Eraser in My Brain," 200,000 shares of Penguin stock]

This time, the task...

There are so many complaints, I don’t even know where to start.

Training NPC!

Wan Qian makes sense, after all, we’ve both been in the same wagon.

But what’s up with Hei Liu and Hei Qi?

Can these be chosen?

If I choose them, then if I want to play them, do I perform standing or lying down?

Hei Liu even has scenes as a stud horse, should I act them out or use mispositioning...

This time, it’s not screwing the dog, it’s screwing the donkey!

Qi Hao didn’t hesitate, he skipped Hei Liu and Hei Qi, and directly chose Wan Qian.

Wan Qian’s acting is impressive, and most importantly, she’s a theater actress, so Qi Hao can learn some theater skills from her, thereby expanding his acting skills tree.

The award ceremony task is not too difficult, after all, for Qi Hao now, many award ceremonies will send him invitations regardless of whether he’s attending or not.

He’s one of the focal points backstage at the awards.

Getting others’ contact info is very easy.

However...

The problem is, he’s already an established actor and has been in the industry for ten years, so he already has most of the senior contacts in the entertainment circle.

Finding five he hasn’t added yet...

That’s truly not easy!

The difficulty of this task surprisingly stems from such a situation.

"Love in the Depths of Memory" is a Japanese drama, while "Eraser in My Brain" is adapted from it into a Korean film.

"Eraser in My Brain" was released in 2004 and is a very classic love movie.

The movie is quite good, and Son Ye-jin in it certainly is a goddess.

This reward, along with the earlier "My Sassy Girl," indicates that the scripts rewarded by the system might also be foreign.

If in the future the timeline is caught up, these can be adapted to match the local characteristics.

However, the rewarded attribute is... stealing!

Qi Hao could hardly believe his eyes, this dog system isn’t even masking its intentions anymore?

Previously, it rewarded acting and swimming.

Professional skills paired with sports, it looked so positive and encouraging.

But now, well, it’s started encouraging the host to commit crimes, finally exposing its treacherous nature.

This task, Qi Hao almost doesn’t want to do it.

But...

It offers 200,000 shares of Penguin stock.

Although it’s not as much as the first time with 630,000 shares, clearly the first was when Penguin had its most challenging period.

Also when Penguin was worth the least.

And this time the 200,000 shares are likely after Penguin has become valuable.

Recently, Penguin’s stock price dropped to the forties, making Qi Hao upset enough to want to go up to the rooftop.

He continually comforts himself.

Endure, endure through this phase and it’ll be alright.

Hmm, with the passage of time, now Penguin’s stock price has endured to the thirties.

Still, even at the thirties, that’s more than seven million Hong Kong dollars.

Far more than the recent reward of "career initial funding 500,000" from "staying in the female celebrity’s room for half an hour" task.

Qi Hao definitely has to complete the "award ceremony" task.

Damn it, the rewards from this dog system are too tempting.

At worst, getting stealing +10, we just won’t use it.

I’m a master of stealing, but that doesn’t mean I’m a thief, they’re two different things.

As for the awards ceremony, the task isn’t particularly tough, Qi Hao can attend the Golden Horse Awards in December.

The advantage of attending the Golden Horse Awards is that there are more strangers.

Finding five unfamiliar "seniors" to add contacts is much easier than attending mainland awards.
