Chen Bin met Cheng Liusha through Li Lu.
Later, when Li Lu was crushed, Chen Bin thought he would face revenge from Cheng Liusha.
Unexpectedly, the latter acted as if nothing had happened.
Chen Bin always wanted to ask about this, but feared Cheng Liusha's anger.
Now that their relationship had advanced, he finally voiced his doubts.
With slightly flickering eyes, Cheng Liusha never expected Chen Bin to address this matter.
"There's no real connection, just an acquaintance."
Just an acquaintance?
Just as Chen Bin started to doubt, Cheng Liusha stood up and patted his shoulder.
"Alright, we've almost finished eating. I should get going."
Chen Bin couldn't ask further questions, so he stood up and escorted Cheng Liusha to the car downstairs.
Not until the other party's driver started the car did he take out his phone and send a message to Wei Bailu.
"Meet me in room 0000 on the rooftop."
As soon as Chen Bin took the elevator to his exclusive suite, Wei Bailu arrived.
As she stepped into the room, she discreetly turned on a recorder pen she carried.
Meeting Chen Bin alone in a hotel, Wei Bailu was understandably anxious.
If he dared to behave inappropriately, the contents of the recorder would be her leverage against him.
After closing the door, Chen Bin invited Wei Bailu to sit on the sofa.
At the same time, he secretly evaluated this woman.
Her long hair draped over her shoulders, and her face was delicate.
She wore a low-cut long dress with a hollow design below the thighs.
Though not overly revealing, the subtle sensuality was quite captivating.
Chen Bin sat down next to Wei Bailu, his gaze sweeping over her slightly open neckline.
"Have you thought of a reason for me to help you?"
Taking a deep breath, Wei Bailu answered nervously.
"Yes, as long as you're willing to help me, I'm willing to give you half of my acting income in the future as a token of respect. What do you think?"
Casually placing his big hand on Wei Bailu's shoulder, Chen Bin teased.
"You haven't studied acting, why should I choose you? Besides, do you think that little actor's money impresses me?"
"I... I..."
Wei Bailu initially wanted to dodge Chen Bin's hand, but upon hearing this, she fell into deep thought.
She felt she was prettier than Geng Like, but hadn't considered it.
To be an actor, acting skills are of utmost importance.
Then, Chen Bin's voice sounded again.
"In my view, being an actor doesn't necessarily require acting skills. Some things can be compensated for."
Hearing this, Wei Bailu instantly became excited.
"Mr. Chen, then how should I compensate?"
Sliding his other hand into Wei Bailu's neckline, grasping one of the White Jade Peaks, he whispered.
"Since your acting isn't good, you can make up for it with your looks."
"Ah! No! What are you doing?!"
Facing Chen Bin's sudden assault, Wei Bailu screamed in fright.
Grabbing his big hand, she cried out.
"Mr. Chen, no! Please don't do this!"
Chen Bin held Wei Bailu tightly in his arms, softly whispering in her ear.
"Just let me touch, just once! I promise to give you a chance to act."
"No! I don't want to be an actor anymore, please let go of me."
Terrified, Wei Bailu's face turned pale as she clung desperately to Chen Bin's hand, preventing further misconduct.
Seeing her pitiful expression, Chen Bin withdrew his hand.
"Fine, if you're not willing to dedicate yourself to art, then go."
Wiping away her tears, Wei Bailu remained silent.
She quickly adjusted her clothes and headed straight for the door.
As she placed her delicate hand on the doorknob, Chen Bin's sigh echoed from behind.
"You don't understand anything, yet you want to emulate Geng Like. Do you think being an actor is that easy?"
She halted, turned around, and asked.
"Are you saying that Geng Like succeeded because she did that with you?"
Nodding, Chen Bin replied earnestly.
"Of course, otherwise, of all the actors, why would I specifically promote her?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Bailu hesitated.
She originally wanted her first time to be with her future husband, but Geng Like's career was booming. Could she really be content as a flight attendant?
Some actors earn enough from one movie to cover a lifetime of a flight attendant's salary.
She had the figure and the looks; should she really pass up such a great opportunity?
After hesitating, Wei Bailu asked quietly.
"If I became your woman, would... would you promote me like Geng Like?"
To better control her, Chen Bin chose a dominant approach.
After all, in his eyes, women have different ranks.
Zhao Xinmei was the eternal goddess, naturally in the top position.
Next was Ma Juan, right-hand support to Chen Bin.
Following were the women who had children with him, they received special care.
Even Cai Lixia, who had married Ye Pei, received a portion of Jiashu Group's shares.
As long as no mistakes were made, a lifetime free from want was guaranteed.
The fourth level included those like Xin Kalan and Kawashima Yoshiko, women who could bring Chen Bin certain benefits and had a basis of affection.
This kind of woman would receive sincere help, but he wouldn't give them his own benefits.
Without children, everything was uncertain.
The lowest level were women like Lan Moke.
Just for fun, not taken to heart.
Now, dealing with someone like Wei Bailu, who had the looks but nothing more, Chen Bin's attitude wouldn't be too favorable.
"I could let you play the lead role, but do you think you could manage?"
Faced with the inquiry, Wei Bailu lowered her head.
"I can't right now, but in the future..."
"The future is for the future to worry about. If you truly want to be an actor, you'd have to follow my lead. Start with small roles to hone your skills, and when you're capable enough, then you can take on more significant roles."
Wei Bailu had no doubt about Chen Bin's capabilities.
After all, if someone like Geng Like could do it, so could she.
So she returned to Chen Bin, quietly saying.
"As long as you're willing to promote me like Geng Like, I'll listen to whatever you say."
Standing up, Chen Bin gently lifted Wei Bailu's chin.
Speaking with an irrefutable tone, "As long as you obediently follow my instructions, I guarantee your acting career will be smooth sailing."
"Then... then I'm willing to dedicate myself to art."
Seeing Wei Bailu's pitiable expression, Chen Bin felt tempted.
He moved forward and kissed her soft lips.
"Mmm-hmm~"
Their lips pressed tightly together, Wei Bailu closed her eyes in fear.
Feeling Chen Bin's hot breath, her legs gave way, and she collapsed into his embrace...
