Chapter 13: Scumbag!

It’s him, again? There was a collective sigh coming from the surrounding crowd, displaying the disequilibrium they felt towards Han Dong’s good luck.
Li Shang did not feel too regretful. After all, he had only just arrived so he did not expect too much anyway.
To his surprise, Han Dong suddenly pulled him over by his shoulders and recommended him to the casting manager, “He’s my best bud and he’s a graduate from the performance art faculty. He has much better qualifications than me, so how about choosing him?”
The casting manager glanced at Li Shang, whose body conditions were not that much worse than Han Dong’s. In comparison, his appearance was more towards Zhou Zheng’s taste. Hearing Han Dong’s words, the casting manager was a bit hesitant.
“Are you sure you want to give this role to him? Be reminded that this is an extremely rare opportunity.”
Just as Li Shang was about to say something, Han Dong spoke before him, “Just choose him! You won’t regret it!”
The casting manager did not say anything in response. He waved his hand, dismissing the rest of the people, as he led Li Shang inside. Li Shang even turned back to glance at Han Dong when he arrived at the entrance, a feeling that he could not describe verbally was stuck in his chest.
Not long after the doors to the entrance closed, Han Dong was already beside the beauty who he had “harassed” with his eyes before. His tone was sleazy as he greeted her, “Beauty, we meet again.”
“Do I know you?” The pretty lady gave Han Dong a glare.
Han Dong smiled unhurriedly, “Have you forgotten? I was the pervert who did face reading for free and specifically asked for your number.”
The pretty lady recalled the scene on that day when Han Dong took liberties with her and berated him internally. She turned immediately, wanting to leave.
“Leave him.” Han Dong spoke suddenly, “A man who’s not willing to pick you up when you’re on your period yet willing to go to the shopping mall to help pick lipsticks for your best friend is not worth your effort in begging for him to change his mind in the heavy rain under his apartment.”
The sound of the high heels stepping on the ground stopped in an instant. The pretty lady turned around, her face filled with shock.
“How… How did you know…?”
After entering the Northern Films Studio, the casting manager, who had seemed to so majestic and adopted an attitude as if he was all that, was reprimanded by Liang Jing’s assistant, Xiao-Wen. His eyes were downcast, not daring to utter a single word.
“Do you not have a brain? We asked you to recruit everyone that fits the conditions, not to choose only the best one! Besides, we’re the ones who will be choosing; not you!”
Hearing that they were not only choosing one person, Li Shang’s gaze immediately lit up with excitement, “I have a buddy who is exceptional. Please let me call him in for you!”
Li Shang rushed to the entrance like the wind. He searched the crowd for a long while but could not even catch a glimpse of Han Dong’s shadow. He tried giving him a call, but Han Dong’s mobile was out of service as it was out of credit. Li Shang could only turn back regretfully.
Li Shang only returned to Han Dong’s residence at night. He was provoked by the scene that was playing right in front of him the moment he stepped out of the elevator.
Han Dong was being all touchy with a beautiful lady at the entrance. This beautiful lady was clearly not the elegant and charming Nan Zhen, but a mature lady with big boobs.
Li Shang grabbed Han Dong and pulled him aside abruptly. He was furious, “So you were only farting when you said all those words last night?”
Han Dong gave him a meaningful look and said, “Long-distance relationships will not yield any results.”
Long-distance relationship? Li Shang was confused, “Is Nan Zhen not living in…”
“South of 4th Ring Road*.” Han Dong interrupted.
(T/N*: Please refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_roads_of_Beijing for a visual depiction. Simply put, Nan Zhen lives pretty far away from central Beijing.)
Li Shang said nothing.
Han Dong, then, hinted at Li Shang to look at the pretty lady behind him, “Her house is only two stops away.”
Li Shang gritted his teeth, “You-really-are-a-scum-bag!”
