Living Only For Myself: Make Those Who Hate Me Regret It Chapter 406 - 405: Why... Doesn’t He Look Like It?
"I want to see the scripts." Xu Su cut him off, getting straight to the point. "Shen Chen, I want to look at the TV show and movie scripts that have been submitted to your company for investnt. If I see one I like, I’d like to put my own money into it. Is that okay?"
Shen Chen was a little surprised. "You’re interested in that?"
He didn’t object, of course, but...
"We get too many scripts seeking investnt. You don’t have any experience with this, so you might not know what to look for."
Xu Su waved her hand dismissively. "It’s fine. Just bring them to . I’ve got nothing but ti on my hands."
’It’s not that I’m interested in scripts; I’m interested in money.’
’Interested in making money for myself!’
’I got a second chance at life, after all. Using my knowledge of the future to make a little money isn’t too much to ask, is it?’
When two employees ca in carrying a stack of scripts half a ter high, Xu Su wasn’t intimidated. She just picked one up and started reviewing it.
’I did just survive the hellish difficulty of senior year, after all.’
’I’m not bragging, but I’ve worked through several stacks of practice tests this high for all my subjects.’
Shen Chen sat in his executive chair, working. He would glance over at Xu Su from ti to ti, noticing that she wasn’t actually opening the scripts to read the content but was just scanning the titles on the first page.
He shook his head, assuming the young woman was just acting on a whim and was already starting to lose interest.
But to his surprise, after scanning all the scripts once, Xu Su started over, looking through them one by one in earnest.
Shen Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise. ’She’s actually interested?’
In the end, he didn’t say anything to disturb her. The two of them worked on their own things in the quiet office, coexisting peacefully.
Why was Xu Su looking through them so carefully one by one?
Because she suddenly rembered that many TV shows don’t finalize their titles until filming begins. That ant the titles on these scripts might not be the ones they would have if they were actually produced.
So, this wasn’t going to be as easy as she thought.
’Want to make money? Then I’ll have to read the scripts seriously. I’ll need to at least flip through a few pages of each to see if I recognize any of them.’
Fortunately, as soone lucky enough to be granted a second chance at life, her luck had always been pretty good. She had only seriously looked through the third script when her eyes lit up.
’Isn’t this the plot of *The dical Consort’s Tale* from my mories?’
It wasn’t just a hit show; it was the one starring Li Na, the actress she had her eye on.
Xu Su flipped through a few more pages to confirm it was the story she was looking for. Then she set the script aside and continued her "treasure hunt."
She didn’t know if Shen Chen’s company had invested in this show in her past life or not. In any case, now that she’d found it, she was definitely going to make so money from it.
"Isn’t your neck sore?"
Xu Su beca completely engrossed when she focused on sothing, so Shen Chen’s sudden voice gave her a major scare. She shuddered violently and looked up to see the man, who had walked over at so point without her noticing.
Her eyes widened in anger. "Shen Chen! You scared to death!"
Shen Chen reached out to pat her shoulder, but Xu Su dodged him with lightning speed. His expression faltered for a mont before he withdrew his hand and said with a faint smile, "I didn’t an to. I just saw you’d been looking down for a long ti and was worried your neck would get sore."
"..." Looking at his expression, Xu Su felt an indescribable awkwardness.
She belatedly rolled her neck and found that it was indeed incredibly sore. It would have been strange if it weren’t, after holding that position for so long.
"Is this a bad habit you picked up in school? Aren’t you worried about developing neck and shoulder problems?" Shen Chen sat down next to her, speaking earnestly. "The company has physical therapists. I’ll call them up to give you a massage."
Artists have high-intensity jobs, and things like dance practice and filming could cause muscle strain at any ti, so having professional physical therapists on staff was perfectly normal.
Xu Su resisted the urge to scoot away and gave an awkward smile. "Okay, call them up then."
Shen Chen humd in agreent, then handed her a bottle of water with the cap already twisted off. "Have so water."
After Xu Su took it, he stood up and made a call.
A short while later, two female physical therapists ca in.
Xu Su couldn’t be bothered to move, so she just lay face down on the sofa and let the won give her a full-body massage. Her dress was a bit short today, so they covered her legs with a thin blanket to prevent any wardrobe malfunctions.
As for Shen Chen?
He went to a eting.
The eting was clearly very efficient. A little over an hour later, before Xu Su had even finished enjoying the attentive service of the two therapists, Shen Chen pushed the door open and ca in.
He looked at the young woman lying on the sofa and paused. "Is she asleep?"
The therapist who was still massaging Xu Su’s head said softly, "She’s been asleep for about ten minutes."
Shen Chen didn’t say a word, walking over to the sofa in a few steps and crouching down.
The two therapists, one working on her head and the other on her shoulders and back, paused their movents. At his signal, they quickly resud.
Shen Chen quietly gazed at the girl. Because she was sleeping on her stomach, her features were squished, causing her lips to form a slight pout. His eyes gradually reddened.
He couldn’t help but move closer...
Under the therapists’ unabashedly astonished gazes, he stole his second kiss.
The mont their lips touched, Shen Chen’s breath hitched for two seconds. After that, he was completely unstoppable...
His fingers gripped the girl’s chin,
and he invaded her mouth with a touch of urgency.
He completely ignored his two female subordinates, like so kind of creep stealing a forbidden mont, making no effort to hide his greedy plunder.
They say that deep love becos desire...
But Shen Chen didn’t even know what kind of feelings he had, so how had he managed to endure it for so long?
What was the difference between him and the pet turtle he was raising?
They were both just Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles—masters of repression.
’I want her...’
’I can’t hold back anymore!’
But when the sleeping Xu Su started to frown, her breathing obstructed, he quickly pulled away.
A strong physical reaction made it impossible for him to stay in front of her. Shen Chen strode away, heading straight for his private lounge.
When he ca out again, Xu Su was already awake, yawning with sleepy eyes.
Shen Chen leaned against the door of the lounge, staring at her flushed lips, his mind filled with dark thoughts.
Even the idea of abducting her and locking her away had crossed his mind...
But in the end, he put on an act as if he had just returned and asked with a smile, "Did you know there’s a lounge in there? Isn’t it uncomfortable lying on such a small sofa?"
"I know," Xu Su said lazily, her eyes still closed. "But I didn’t want to move."
Shen Chen let out a low chuckle. "That lazy?"
Xu Su humd in agreent, her eyes stubbornly refusing to open. "Yep, that lazy."
Shen Chen’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed. The murky emotion in his gaze sent a chill through the two therapists. Weren’t there rumors among the artists that their big boss was a rich, debauched playboy?
’So why... doesn’t he seem like one at all?’
Xu Su’s eyes finally opened, her energy completely restored. She praised the two skilled therapists, "Your massage was so relaxing, it practically put to sleep."
The two therapists, who saw all sorts of handso n and beautiful won in the entertainnt industry every day, had extrely high standards and considered themselves worldly. Yet they were so flustered by Xu Su’s praise that their cheeks flushed, and they thanked her respectfully.
"You’re that satisfied, huh? In that case, I’ll give them a raise." The capitalist’s reward was clean and decisive. Shen Chen waved his hand, dismissing the two of them.
