253: If you have money, why worry about not finding a partner?

Director Xu Gang was filming seriously.

With Chen Le by his side, he also wanted to show off a bit and prove that he was quite capable now.

After all, he had been by Chen Le's side for several years; it would be inexcusable if he hadn't made any progress.

He wanted to keep making money.

Even though he and Chen Le had a good relationship, he still had to work hard on his own to go further.

Lately, no one stays kind to someone else unconditionally forever. A good relationship doesn't mean the other person will unilaterally treat you well; for a relationship to last, it must be a win-win.

Chen Le gave him the opportunity, and he needed to use his own strength to prove that the opportunity wasn't misplaced.

It was clear now that Chen Le hadn't misjudged him. Director Xu Gang was very capable and progressing rapidly.

At noon, the morning's filming was finished.

Director Xu Gang pulled Chen Le to a restaurant.

Inside a private room at the restaurant.

“It’s been a long time since I've been to film studio location,” Chen Le remarked with emotion.

“It hasn't been that long, has it? Didn't you come once just a few months ago?” Director Xu Gang said with a smile.

“A few months isn't long? How many years were you thinking?” Chen Le chuckled.

“True. By the way, Old Chen, isn't your new movie about to start filming? How do you have time to come over?” Director Xu Gang suddenly asked, remembering something.

“Yeah, the new movie is about to start. However, the filming location hasn't been set up yet. I've sent the Assistant Director to prepare the set,” Chen Le explained.

“Old Three, can you tell me where your new movie is being filmed?” Director Xu Gang asked curiously.

“Sure, why not? The new movie is being filmed in Thailand.”

“Thailand? Why Thailand again? I remember your last film, lost in thailand, was also filmed in Thailand.” Surprise flashed across Director Xu Gang's face when he heard the location.

“The new movie requires it. This time it's being filmed in Chinatown in Bangkok, Thailand.” Chen Le didn't explain too much to Director Xu Gang.

After all, he didn't know why detective chinatown 1 was filmed in Thailand in his previous life either.

Director Xu Gang nodded at Chen Le's words; he was just asking casually.

While eating, Director Xu Gang suddenly spoke with some emotion: “Old Chen, we're both 25 now. Time really flies; it's already been three years since graduation.”

“It is fast! Three years passed before I knew it,” Chen Le said, also feeling sentimental.

At the same time, he was marveling in his heart that it had been so many years since his reincarnation.

“By the way, Old Chen, how is your relationship with Yang Mi?” Director Xu Gang suddenly brought up Yang Mi.

“It's good, the two of us are engaged,” Chen Le said with a smile.

“Engaged? For real?” Director Xu Gang was shocked to hear this.

Chen Le's news took him by surprise.

“Of course it's real,” Chen Le confirmed again.

“Great! You two actually got engaged without saying a word,” Director Xu Gang immediately said with a smile.

“It couldn't be helped. The engagement was arranged privately by our two families. We didn't plan to announce it,” Chen Le said with a wave of his hand.

“That's good. Now that you're engaged, you'll probably get married in a few years. You two have known each other for so many years,” Director Xu Gang remarked again.

Director Xu Gang knew the situation well. Previously, seeing Chen Le and Naza together, he had been somewhat worried.

But hearing that the two were engaged now, he felt a sense of relief.

While his mind was still wandering, Chen Le spoke up again.

“Gang Zi, when are you going to get a girlfriend? It seems like out of the four of us in the dorm, you're the only one without one. Don't let it be that when the three of us get married and invite you to the weddings, you're still single,” Chen Le teased.

“Sigh, how should I know? I'll leave it to fate. I'm so busy now, it's not that easy to find a girlfriend,” Director Xu Gang sighed and shook his head.

“Won't you be less busy when you finish filming? During that time, don't just stay cooped up at home. Go out, meet more women, and maybe you'll find a partner,” Chen Le suggested from the side.

“If you're going to say that, you might as well just introduce someone to me,” Director Xu Gang laughed.

“I'm not a matchmaker, who's going to introduce someone to you?” Chen Le quickly waved his hand and ended the topic.

“Alright, alright, let's not talk about this. With money, are you afraid you won't find a partner?”

“You're right about that. With money, who's afraid of not finding a partner? It's more important to make money first.” Director Xu Gang nodded in agreement.

Over the past two years, he had made a lot of money following Chen Le.

Although it wasn't as exaggerated as Chen Le earning hundreds of millions a year.

He could still make several million a year.

For him, this was already incredibly rare.

Back in his hometown, making several million a year would make him a wealthy person.

He could even be the richest person in his county.

It couldn't be helped; with the economy at this time, a multi-millionaire was the richest person in a county.

Earning several million a year, he could make ten million in two or three years.

Now when he went home, he was the most successful one among his relatives.

Whether it was his younger cousins or older cousins, none were as capable as him.

From childhood to adulthood, he was always the 'good student' in his relatives' mouths, and now that he was grown, he still was.

Of course, he wasn't particularly proud of this, because he was only better than his relatives' children; in this industry, there were plenty of people better than him.

Having traveled further, seen more, and broadened his horizons, he naturally wouldn't compete for status with his relatives back home.

Director Xu Gang finished his chat with Chen Le.

In the afternoon, he went back to continue filming.

Chen Le walked around the Film Crew's set to take a look.

The main cast of the legend of zhen huan greeted Chen Le one after another when they saw him.

After staying with the Film Crew for two or three days, Chen Le returned to Beijing.

Similarly, Yang Mi stayed in Beijing for a few days before heading off to film commercials and variety shows.

However, she didn't take on any acting roles because she was also busy setting up her company.

The studio she collaborated on with Zeng Jia was meant to serve her career.

But the company she was opening was meant to make her money.

She had worked with Zeng Jia for several years; even if she started her own company, she wouldn't have a falling out or stop cooperating with her.

After all, the incident where Yang Mi was screwed over by Zeng Jia wouldn't happen for another dozen years.

Right now, Zeng Jia was still quite good to Yang Mi.

Chen Le felt that with him around, Zeng Jia wouldn't be able to screw Yang Mi over later anyway.

Besides, he was there as her safety net.

If Zeng Jia ever screwed over Yang Mi in the future, he wouldn't let her off.

After getting engaged, Yang Mi wasn't as workaholic as she had been in the previous two years.

Chen Le's words still had some influence on Yang Mi.

On the other side, the Beijing Film Academy had also started its new semester.

Naza returned to Beijing; she needed to report back to school.

This afternoon, Chen Le went to the airport.

Yesterday, Naza had already called him.

She had acted coquettishly, asking him to pick her up.

Chen Le naturally wouldn't refuse Naza's request.
