Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Playboy, Fourth Update

It seemed that Lin Ruoshui noticed Chen Wei had misunderstood her intention, so she quickly explained, "What I mean is, you can become the leading man in my new play. Are you interested?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Wei’s heart finally calmed down and he declined politely, "I’m sorry, but I’m not currently interested in leaving behind-the-scenes work. I only want to focus on songwriting."

Hearing his response, a look of disappointment flashed across Lin Ruoshui’s face, but it disappeared as quickly as it had appeared. She clearly wasn’t ready to give up just yet and began to persuade Chen Wei earnestly, "To tell you the truth, in the acting business, most people are eating a bowl of ’youth rice’; the peak period lasts just one or two years. Once time passes and youth fades, it becomes very hard to achieve great fame."

"But songwriting is different. The longer you do it, the more experience you have, the more flavor your work has. So you could totally enter the entertainment industry first and treat songwriting as a sideline."

Lin Ruoshui herself didn’t really believe that songwriting could compare to being an actor. After all, songwriting is done behind the scenes. How many people know about it?

A song may be delightful to listen to, but most people only remember who sang it. As for the person who composed it, they either know very little or have no interest in finding out.

Of course, Lin Ruoshui wasn’t without emotional intelligence. She didn’t speak too directly to avoid creating hostility.

One has to save some face for the other person in social situations.

To bluntly say, "I think being a songwriter has no future," would be just asking for trouble.

"I appreciate your kindness, but I really have no interest in being an actor right now, sorry," Chen Wei declined repeatedly.

"Alright, then, could I have your contact information? If you change your mind later, you can always contact me. My play is still in the planning stage, so there’s no rush. Take your time." Lin Ruoshui took out her cell phone, holding it tightly in both hands, as if she was very afraid Chen Wei would refuse her.

Chen Wei was kind-hearted and nodded in agreement, exchanging contact information with her.

After confirming the information was correct, Lin Ruoshui stood up and said, "Then I won’t bother you anymore. I have some things to take care of on my end and need to leave first. If you decide to enter show business, remember to contact me first. I’ll be at your beck and call."

As she spoke, she made a telephone gesture by her ear and gave it a shake.

Chen Wei nodded with a smile.

No sooner had Lin Ruoshui left than Debbie sat down beside Chen Wei.

She wrapped her arms around Chen Wei’s arm, looking as though she was about to snuggle into his embrace.

"What are you doing?" Chen Wei asked in confusion.

Even if she wanted his ’seed’, she didn’t need to be so eager, did she? There had to be at least a hundred people present.

Chen Wei knew that foreign women tended to be more open, but Debbie was taking it to an extreme!

"There’s a guy chasing me; just let me hide here for a bit, please please." Debbie lay atop Chen Wei’s legs, lifted her head, and with hands clasped together in prayer, she beseeched him like she was praying to a deity.

Chen Wei, not eager to question her further, looked up in the direction from which Debbie had come and sure enough, he saw a young man in a blue suit. He had stopped walking and looked dejected, searching around.

Noticing Chen Wei’s gaze and seeing someone seemingly lying beside him, the youth, recognizing the similarity in the clothes to the person he had just seen, began to approach slowly.

"What happened between you two?" Chen Wei inquired.

"Don’t get the wrong idea! Nothing happened between us, it’s that guy who took a liking to me and wouldn’t leave me alone. It took me a lot of effort to shake him off," Debbie clarified.

She definitely didn’t want Chen Wei to think she was a flirtatious woman, which might make him wary of her.

Unbeknownst to her, Chen Wei had overheard her scheming conversation with Zhu Hong and had already put up his guard against her inside.

"That person looks somewhat familiar, definitely either rich or noble, and quite handsome, too. To be favored by someone like that, don’t you want to interact a bit before making a decision?" Chen Wei asked.

"How could he not be familiar? A notorious playboy in the entertainment industry, Zhao Fanjie. Do you know how many girlfriends he has changed in a single day at most?" Debbie’s face showed an increasingly intense disgust when she mentioned that man.

"How many?" Chen Wei probed, following Debbie’s comment.

"Three! Three, you know? Can you imagine what kind of trash can change three girlfriends in one day?" Debbie glared, as if to rebuke Chen Wei for even suggesting she consider such scum.

"Three? Morning, noon, and night, he really doesn’t take a break, does he?" Chen Wei laughed, scoffingly.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Zhao Fanjie arrived in front of Chen Wei, noticing Debbie who was strangely draped over his thighs, "Miss Debbie, may I ask what this is about?"

Once Debbie heard the voice behind her, she pursed her lips, her expression conveying helplessness. She sat up from Chen Wei’s legs, turned to Zhao Fanjie, and forced a smile on her face, as strained as could be, "Mr. Zhao, I really have no interest in you, could you please stop pestering me?"

"You’re the first woman to actively reject me, so I have reason to suspect that you’re using this method to catch my attention, right?" Zhao Fanjie stated confidently.

He believed that there was no woman in the world who could refuse his handsome face.

Realizing this, Debbie simply took Chen Wei’s hand, and stated bluntly, "I’m sorry, Mr. Zhao, you are indeed outstanding, but as you can see, I already have a boyfriend."

"..." Chen Wei remained composed, truly accustomed to such situations.

"Boyfriend? Him? Do you think he compares to me..." suddenly at a loss for words, even the conceited Zhao Fanjie, accustomed to self-pride because of his face, had to admit that Chen Wei was indeed better-looking than himself.

Definitely a pretty boy! A pretty boy without substance!

As for himself, he was learned and knowledgeable!

Thinking this, Zhao Fanjie’s face quickly regained its confidence.

"You’re not worthy of Debbie, get a clue and leave on your own." Zhao Fanjie pulled at his suit lapel with both hands, trying to assert his authority in front of Chen Wei.

"Whatever the case, at least I possess the ability that a normal man should have." With that, Chen Wei’s gaze drifted downward, meaningfully eyeing Zhao Fanjie’s crotch area.

Zhao Fanjie visibly panicked, taking a half step back.

He was now very nervous; Chen Wei might have noticed something.

Debbie caught Chen Wei’s glance in a moment,

Thinking of this, Debbie suddenly felt very pleased... to bring trouble to the city, to the people.

"You, you stop spouting nonsense! I have no idea what you’re talking about!" Zhao Fanjie could hardly conceal his nervousness.

"Nonsense?" Chen Wei smiled faintly, "You smell of traditional Chinese medicine; I advise you not to waste your efforts, it’s useless...."

"I warn you! Don’t you spread any more rumors here, or else I will sue you!"

Even Debbie could tell that Zhao Fanjie was using anger to mask his inner panic.

"Sildenafil citrate, I think you’re not very familiar with this name. However, what about the blue pill? You must take that quite often, right? It does indeed help with matters between men and women, but in the end, it’s medicine. ’All medicines have their toxins,’ and over the years, all that toxicity has accumulated in your body; it’s time it did its work."

"If you think I’m slandering you, feel free to take your medical report to Judgment Court and sue me. I’ll be waiting at your convenience." Chen Wei said calmly, completely undisturbed by Zhao Fanjie’s presence and his threatening words.
