Han Dong was back to his accommodation at about ten at night after “playing around” outside, only to see Li Shang tidying up the room.
It was much more tidy than usual and all of Li Shang’s personal items were gathered in a single box.
“Are you moving to a new place?” Han Dong asked.
Li Shang was happy to share his feelings, “You were right.” Feeling Li Shang’s joyous mood, Han Dong probed, “You mean… you were chosen?” “Hahaha… Bro, it’s all thanks to your trousers!” Li Shang grabbed Han Dong’s hands enthusiastically and began describing the many “surprises” he experienced in the day without any pauses.
Even Han Dong found it too good to be true, “They’re not scammers, right?” “What is there to scam from me? I have no money nor beauty.” Indeed, Han Dong thought.
Li Shang could not help but feel smug, “Do you know how many graduates do not even have the chance to act for the Northern Film Studio? 150,000! And I, a science graduate with no background nor experience, was picked by the head director himself!” Han Dong felt sour, “Yeah, I’ve been squatting at their entrance for five years and nothing came out of it while you’re already excelling after only being here for five days.” “This is all thanks to your ‘advice’!” Li Shang was smiling widely, “I must make a shrine for this pair of trousers and worship it!” Han Dong hmphed, “Even so, there’s no need to move away from here so quickly, is there? What, do you think this place is reducing your class?” “What are you thinking? It’s only because my basics are so bad that I need to attend a completely locked-in Spartan training for three months so I have no choice but to stay in the company’s dormitory.” “Still, you don’t have to move in the middle of the night! Can’t you do it tomorrow?” Although he did not have a choice in this matter, there was still a hint of excitement in Li Shang’s voice, “I need to move to the company tonight because I have to meet an important director early tomorrow morning.
Do you know Wang Zhongding? He’s the one on “Beijing’s Trendy Entertainment”’s cover page last season ーー Zhong Ding Films and Television Corporation’s boss! And I’m actually going to meet him tomorrow! Holy shit, this is almost like a dream!” Hearing that, all hints of sourness in Han Dong’s heart disappeared.
Not only did he not feel sour anymore, he even felt as if he just had a mouthful of honey.
He leaned towards Li Shang unhurried and reminded him in a whisper, “That Wang Zhongding is not a good person, you better be more careful around him.” “That can’t be.
I even did a search on him online and this CEO Wang has an especially good reputation in this circle!” Han Dong clicked his tongue, “How can those comments online be trustworthy? They must be hired to say good things for him online.” “Then how do you know about him?” Han Dong thought for a long while before using a feeble excuse, “His physiognomy isn’t good!” Talking about physiognomy, Li Shang suddenly recalled something, “Oh, right.
You know how to glyphomancy, don’t you?” “Yeah.” “Why don’t you help me think of a stage name that will ensure a fortunate and smooth-sailing path towards stardom.” “Li Tianbang*.” Han Dong blurted out.
(T/N*: There is no explanation for this name yet but the name’s individual characters are 李天帮.
李 = surname, 天 = sky, heaven, 帮 = help.
Not sure if that has anything to do with the meaning of the name Han Dong thought of.) “That was fast.” Han Dong let out a short laugh, “I’ve helped you think of that name since the start! When we both become big stars, you’ll be Li Tianbang while I’ll be Han Tianwang*, how majestic is that!” (T/N*: 韩天王, 韩 = surname Han, 天王 = emporer or god.) Just as Li Shang was about to say something, his phone rang.
“The company’s car is already downstairs, I need to go now.
Let’s keep in touch!” Han Dong stood next to the window and shouted while facing downstairs, “Don’t forget your brother here when you become rich!” “I won’t forget you!” Li Shang could not wait to get into the car after he finished his sentence.
Han Dong gritted his teeth and thought that people with antics like Li Shang’s would definitely fall out with him once he got famous!
