Let's Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 42: Everyone’s Idol (12)

Editor: Atlas Studios

The last car was left.

Everyone was curious about who the last person was.

The car slowly entered and when it stopped, the chauffeur got out and opened the car door.

A long and thin leg slowly stretched out from the car and snowy white sneakers stepped on the ground.

Everyone immediately fell silent.

The white-dressed young man looked as though an angel who fell from the sky surrounded by holy light which made one unable to turn their eyes away.

If Xie Zhou was a stoic prince charming, then the white-dressed young man would be one who made everyone fall for him and feel the need to protect him.

He was as beautiful as an exquisite doll.

Every detail was the ingenious masterpiece of god.

The young man flashed a warm smile and at that moment, it was as though one could hear the blossom of spring.

Su Jiu was shooting a scene with the cameraman. After Su Jiu was done with his shooting, he glanced towards the crowd.

With one look, he saw the girl who sat outside of the crowd.

Cold, elegant, noble yet unapproachable…

The young man blinked his eyes. ‘She came too.’

‘Right, she was an artiste too.’

“Don’t you think he looks a little familiar?”

“I feel that he looks familiar too, but I can’t remember where I have seen him before.”

“He looks so beautiful! I want to hug him.”

Using the word beautiful to describe a man was not a pleasant term, but they could not find any better words to describe this angelic young man.

“He’s the male lead of the popular school romance drama that blew up the whole of China.” A person had already heard of his name and searched for his information.

“Su Jiu?” Everyone came together and looked.

“He is Su Jiu…”

“He looks even better than before. Ay, but I heard that he was not given any promotional activities?” Ever since that school romance drama became popular, there was no news of him. He was clearly being banned from promotion or acting.

“Jewel is so dumb too! He was such a great and rising talent yet they hid him from the public’s eye. They must be out of their minds. He’s so cute…”

Bits of discussion drifted into Su Jiu’s ears. He passed by the crowd with a warm and lovely expression which made others pity him and dared not to disturb him even more.

The director gathered everyone and gave his opening speech before getting down to business.

“Everyone has arrived. This week, we will split into groups of two. Everyone can pair up freely.”

There were eight artistes on the set, four girls and four boys.

Other than Chuzheng and Liu Manman, the other girls included Feng Jiao who looked lovely and had a coquettish voice as well as Wei Jun who had a mature appearance.

The boys group included Su Jiu, Xie Zhou, Liu Yuxing who carried himself with grace as well as carefree and sunny boy Du Ming.

Feng Jiao was the first to look towards Su Jiu as her eyes lit up and she expectantly gave out an invitation to him. “Su Jiu, can you pair up with me?”

Su Jiu glanced at her in astonishment before his gaze turned towards Chuzheng as Chuzheng gave him a casual look.

The two people’s gazes met. Su Jiu felt his heart skip a beat and he frantically looked away.

“I’ve never participated in such programs before, will I drag you down?” Su Jiu had a distressed look with a soft tone which made others soften their voices too.

“No problem, I’ll help you.” Feng Jiao clasped her hands together. “I’ve been watching this show. I’ll help you.”

Su Jiu was shocked.

He did not want to pair up with her.

Chuzheng walked towards the director and took the group board sign before passing it to Su Jiu.

Her movements were swift and domineering.

Su Jiu was shocked.

Feng Jiao was shocked.

Feng Jiao furrowed her brows and looked towards Chuzheng. She pouted her lips in displeasure. “Oi! What are you doing? Can’t you see that Su Jiu and I are pairing up?”

“Did he agree?”

“…Aren’t I talking to him? What do you mean by doing this?’

Chuzheng ignored her and passed the board sign towards Su Jiu again.

Su Jiu flashed an apologetic smile to Feng Jiao. “About that… I’ll go with her.”

The involved party had already made it clear. Moreover, Feng Jiao could not reject the young man’s smile so what could she do?

Feng Jiao glared at Chuzheng and left in a huff. She paired up with Liu Yuxing.

Liu Manman naturally paired up with Xie Zhou.

In the end, Du Ming and Wei Jun were left.

After they had paired up, the respective groups got in their car and moved towards their next destination.

But they could not go there straight away as they had missions to complete.

The director held four cards. “All of you have four routes to choose from. The group who arrives first can receive a hint about tomorrow’s mission. The routes are around the same but as for the traffic flow, we are not sure. Choosing the best route depends on your luck.”

The director motioned to let everyone pick their cards.

Su Jiu glanced at Chuzheng and Chuzheng let him pick.

Su Jiu picked a card, it was route three.

The production team gave them route three’s map. They were required to drive themselves towards the destination.

As for who was going to drive…

Chuzheng had already sat beside the driver’s seat and so Su Jiu could only drive.

There was shooting ongoing throughout the journey so Su Jiu had not dared to speak with Chuzheng too much. As a result, both of them had almost zero interaction.

The production team was a little worried. Could they even have ratings with this boring group?

The cameraman could not help, but remind Su Jiu and Chuzheng to interact.

Chuzheng took a look at the cameraman before she turned around towards the window and closed her eyes.

The cameraman was stumped.

Su Jiu flashed a warm smile towards the camera and drove the car according to the route given with a serious attitude.

Maybe he had good luck and the route was very smooth.

The car drove for about half an hour before it suddenly stopped.

“What’s wrong?” Chuzheng opened her eyes.

“We are out of fuel.” Su Jiu replied.

This should be a set-up planned by the production team as they would not let them reach their destination so easily.

Chuzheng felt as though Bastard was fooling her.

“So what do we do now?” Su Jiu asked Chuzheng. His eyes were especially pure and held no malice at all as though a soft white rabbit.

Chuzheng stamped him with a label, put on an act.

Chuzheng got out of the car while Su Jiu and the cameraman swiftly followed her. There were only buildings nearby and no petrol station.

They would not be given the production team’s car which followed behind them either.

[Main mission: Please spend ten million dollars in half an hour.]

Chuzheng was speechless. A fool gets more money. Bastard had come to send money again.

This production team seemed to have no special rules about money.

Chuzheng looked at her surroundings and found a large brand sign. She walked towards it.

The camera team quickly followed. With such a large crowd, it attracted the attention of many as passersby all turned back to look.

Chuzheng calmly walked into the shop. The promoters in the shop almost dared not to step forward after seeing such a large presence.

“Give me a car that costs ten million dollars which I can drive away now.” Chuzheng concisely stated her requirements.

“Ah?” The promoter’s gaze was still stuck at the production team behind her.

What was she doing?

“Buying a car.”

The promoter subconsciously said out that sentence and Chuzheng replied back indifferently.

Not only were the promoters frightened off, but the production team behind them was frightened off as well.

Letting the car run out of fuel was part of their scheme as they wanted the artistes to use alternative methods to reach their destination.

The other three groups would face the same situation. This would make the show interesting and increase difficulty for the artistes.

Who knew this person would buy a car.

This handling method… they had done it for so many weeks yet this was the first.

Su Jiu pulled Chuzheng’s sleeves. “We don’t have to buy a car. We can use other transportation methods to reach our destination.”

Chuzheng was expressionless. “Troublesome.” ‘I have to spend the money! Did you think that I was willing!’

Su Jiu was shocked.

The production team was stunned.  Keke! Which family’s princess was this amateur from!
