"How is it not worth it? I lost your money but I got it back. It's just my money that I lost."
Ji Qingzhou was stunned for a moment. "That's not your money, nor is it blown by the wind. If we consider the two of us as a group of interests, it was originally just me participating in the show, which was a sure win. Now it has become your investment, which means you may lose money. Chu Cheng, I'm not in a hurry to play the male lead now, but I don't want you to make some decisions because of me that you wouldn't have made otherwise, do you understand?"
"So you think I'm just throwing money at you to make you happy, right?"
Ji Qingzhou had nothing to say.
Chu Cheng laughed, "Do you think I am Xia Jie? How can I be so willing to give up?"
He leaned back on the sofa. "I admit that I invested in this drama because of you. If you were not in this crew, or even if you were not the male lead, I would definitely not invest. But investment itself is a matter of risk and opportunity. I have read the plan for this drama. From a project perspective, it is possible to make money. From a profit perspective, if I lose, I won't lose much. I really don't care about this little money. But if I make money, not only will I make money, but you will also gain fame."
"You acted in the show before, but I didn't invest. You played a supporting role. This method is safe, but safety means no risk and no high return. What can you get by playing a supporting role? It's your current labor fee. If you are lucky, you can get some popularity, but it is definitely not as popular as playing the male lead. Zhou Zhou, as a financial sponsor, you need to invest in your lover appropriately. We have said before that I will give you resources and money, right? So you don't have to feel burdened. Change your mind. Chen Jiyuan went on strike, and then you replaced him to play the leading role. If he knew, he would be furious. If this play becomes popular again and you become a hit, how Chen Jiyuan feels..." Chu Cheng felt very comfortable when he thought of this, "Really, just thinking about it, I can't wait."
Ji Qingzhou heard this and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Why didn't he realize before that Chu Cheng had a strong desire for revenge and was quite childish? Ji Qingzhou couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this. He felt that it was fortunate that he came through in time and stabilized Chu Cheng. Otherwise, he would probably be the one who couldn't wait any longer.
"So, you have really thought it through, analyzed it, and are planning to invest, right?"
Chu Cheng said, "Don't worry, your drama is just a low-budget web drama. It won't cost much. Even if you really lose money, I don't care."
"Okay then," Ji Qingzhou said softly, "Thank you."
Chu Cheng was just about to say, "What's there to be thankful for? This is the responsibility of the sponsor." But before he could even finish his words, he realized something and was ready to take advantage of the situation and said, "Are you touched again?"
"You spent all your money just to make me happy, how can I not be touched?"
"Then how can you repay me?"
"What do you want now?" Ji Qingzhou asked him very experiencedly.
Chu Cheng coughed, "I think we should go a step further."
"Go in again? How?" Ji Qingzhou was puzzled. "Didn't we already kiss?"
"Yeah, so it's time to start a new chapter."
"For example?" Ji Qingzhou was curious.
"For example, you and I drive a manual transmission car. Is that not too much to ask?"
Ji Qingzhou: ...!!! Why are you driving again?
Chu Cheng persuaded her patiently, "Look, I've spent so much money to make you happy, and you're touched. We're both in love, so shouldn't we take it a step further?"
Ji Qingzhou: ...
Chu Cheng continued, "It's like sailing against the current. If you don't move forward, you'll move backward. If we don't move forward, we'll move backward in relative motion."
Ji Qingzhou: ...
"To retreat is to fall behind. The great revolutionary pioneers once taught us that 'if you fall behind, you will be beaten.' We cannot passively accept being beaten. We must take the initiative and strike first!"
Ji Qingzhou covered his face, "You are so eloquent and have so many twisted theories. Do your family members know about this?"
