50: Chapter 50 House Viewing!
Shen Zhou didn't know why Chen Xiaoran wanted to compare him to Hu Xiaoge.
However, her words didn't make Shen Zhou feel offended; on the contrary, Shen Zhou was quite happy.
Who was Hu Xiaoge? Could he possibly not know? He was simply an actor handsome enough to reach the heavens.
Melancholy eyes, stubble that inspired sighs, a kind and upright character, and those eight-pack abs—he was completely the benchmark among men.
For a long time, in Shen Zhou's opinion, among the male stars of the last dozen years or so, only Peng Ningyan could compete with him.
And now, Chen Xiaoran had actually compared him to Hu Xiaoge.
What did this imply? It meant that Shen Zhou's current level of handsomeness had absolutely reached a peak!
"Could it be that the system gave me a beauty filter? Am I really this handsome?"
Yes, Shen Zhou hadn't guessed wrong; the system really had given him a beauty filter.
Not only that, but in the preset options of Shen Zhou's system, there was actually a male charm option.
In short, this option meant that as Shen Zhou's wealth increased, his own attractiveness to the opposite sex would gradually increase along with it.
And this was also an important reason why so many girls who had met Shen Zhou in recent days couldn't help but develop a favorable impression of him.
"Hello, may I ask if you have an appointment?"
"This is a high-end residential area in Shanghai; you need a resident's key card or proof of funds from the sales office to enter."
Having just arrived at the residential area's security gate, a handsome and dashing security guard approached the two of them.
He greeted the two of them very politely.
However, before Shen Zhou and Chen Xiaoran could answer him,
Shen Zhou suddenly heard a shrill voice coming from behind him.
At the same time, Shen Zhou inexplicably felt goosebumps breaking out all over his body!
"Sister Zhang, I don't care, I don't care! Since we're already here, you must help me buy an apartment today, no matter what."
"Yesterday's incident nearly made me die of anger!"
"How could that little vixen beat me! How could she! She's nothing but a worker!"
Clearly, the reason Shen Zhou had such a reaction was because of this shrill voice behind him.
Just by subconsciously turning his head to look, Shen Zhou immediately felt an urge to vomit!
"Ahem, why is it him?"
Yes, Shen Zhou hadn't seen wrong.
At this very moment, the man behind him who had made the shrill sound was none other than the Sunglasses Man who had PKed with Mu Shanshan in the livestream room last night!
Sometimes, Shen Zhou had to admit that there was a limit to a normal person's tolerance.
Because, the moment he first saw that guy walking over with his arm linked with a middle-aged rich woman in a fur coat,
Shen Zhou clearly felt his stomach suddenly churning violently.
"How can a person be this disgusting! I've really seen it all now!"
Taking a deep breath and calming his mood, Shen Zhou silently comforted himself.
"So it's him! No wonder he's so nauseating."
And just as Shen Zhou had finished building up an enhanced version of mental fortitude in his heart,
This sentence that Chen Xiaoran blurted out beside him seemed to cause the two parties to have an intersection.
"Who is it! Who's talking nonsense over there!"
The Sunglasses Man shrieked, his raised orchid finger pointing directly at Shen Zhou and the other person.
"You know him?"
Shen Zhou asked, looking at Chen Xiaoran somewhat inexplicably.
"Of course, I've seen him in a film crew before; we're sort of half-colleagues!"
"People in the crew used to say he had a rich woman backing him, and today I've finally seen it."
Chen Xiaoran glanced at the Sunglasses Man, then immediately said to Shen Zhou with a look of disgust.
"Oh? So you two actually have a history! I didn't expect that!"
"Forget it, let's not interact with this kind of person; let's go in first."
Listening to Chen Xiaoran's introduction, Shen Zhou couldn't help but give a dry laugh.
And just as Shen Zhou took the proof of funds Chen Xiaoran handed him and wanted to give it to the security guard,
The Sunglasses Man on the other side must have heard their conversation, and he was already huffing and puffing, not letting it go.
"Was it you two bad-mouthing me just now!"
"Oh ho, still wearing sunglasses, hmm? You're Chen Xiaoran! Damn it, I was wondering why these last two days have been so unlucky, why I've been running into trouble everywhere I go."
"So it was fated that I'd run into a jinx like you!"
"Who are you calling a jinx!"
Chen Xiaoran was immediately furious.
"You! What about it? I'm talking about you! Chen Xiaoran!"
"Hmph, you rely on having a bit of good looks to make up lies in front of the director!"
"That palace maid role was supposed to be mine, and now you've stolen it! Give it back to me!"
What was it that Shen Zhou had sighed about before?
Oh, right, it was sighing about how this realistic world is often more exaggerated and more unreliable than the world in movies.
Now it seemed that this sentiment of Shen Zhou's had finally been verified.
Shen Zhou never dreamed that the Sunglasses Man in front of him would actually get into an argument with Chen Xiaoran.
The story goes like this: a while ago, there was a TV drama called something like Qingfeng Sui.
Very fortunately, in this drama, Chen Xiaoran also had a part, playing a palace maid with at least ten lines of dialogue.
And the very unfortunate part was that Chen Xiaoran getting this role had a little bit of entanglement with this Sunglasses Man in front of her.
Originally, according to the director's requirements, the female supporting roles in this drama all had to be top-tier beautiful.
Even roles like palace maids had extremely high standards.
However, this Sunglasses Man suddenly joined the crew, and as soon as he did, he immediately came into conflict with the palace maid role Chen Xiaoran had just tried on costumes for.
To have a grown man cross-dress as a palace maid, and in a hit drama with extremely high standards and strict requirements, no less.
