While Huang Zichao was an award-winning actor, he found it impossible to calm his nerve enough to put up an act in front of Nan Chen.

Thus, his terror was clearly displayed for Nan Chen and even Qiao Zhan to see.

Still, Huang Zichao was unwilling to yield just like that because he was still hopeful for Ding Fei's dirt on him would remain unknown to the world.

That was basically his greatest weakness. If the information Ding Fei had on him were leaked, his career would very likely be doomed.

Thus, even though he was opening his mouth, he refused to answer Nan Chen's question.

The silence Huang Zichao produced was born out of fear, unlike Nan Chen's, which was due to his unwillingness to speak.

“Tell me about Ding Fei,” Nan Chen asked again.

With substantial effort, Huang Zichao managed to seal his mouth shut.

Nan Chen shot a tacit look at Qiao Zhan before the latter lifted a bottle. “Seems like you still haven't drunk enough alcohol to speak your mind freely. How about another bottle?”

Crap, he's going to make me drink again? If I glug down any more alcohol, I will really get drunk! Huang Zichao yelled, “How can you allow your subordinate to commit a crime, Mr. Nan?”

“You were always his idol. Meeting you today made him very happy. There's nothing I can do if he wants you to drink with him,” Nan Chen responded plainly.

Speedily, Qiao Zhan went along with it. “Yeah, that's right! I've always admired you. Today, I'll toast to you using tea instead of alcohol.”

They said I only needed to attend the filming for a few days and show my face. After that, they could arrange for a double to film most of my scenes and then use technology to paste my face onto the double. The pay they offered was high, so my agency agreed. However, I still haven't participated in a filming session

Chen didn't reply. It's not odd for an A-list actor to receive multiple invitations for movies or shows at the same time. Additionally, the actor and their agency have to consider many things before choosing which invitation to accept while rejecting the rest, which is most of them. That's nothing out of the ordinary, either. So
