Chapter 22

An hour later, Robin and Dent were on their way back to the film set.

Dent: "Why do you eat like that?" — complaining

Robin: "How did I eat?"

Dent: "You used the wrong utensils!" — pointing out

Robin: "Are you full? I'm full!"

Dent: "..." — speechless

Robin: "You too, don't pretend to be an upper-class person. What's the result? You're not familiar with the utensils, and it took you a lot of effort to eat. Even an outsider can see it. You tried to act like a tiger but ended up looking like a dog, and you ended up looking like a 2b." — mocking

Dent: "..." —不服气 (unconvinced)

Dent: "I will eventually truly enter the upper class and become part of the elite." —不服气 (unconvinced)

Robin: "Your ambition to climb up doesn't concern me. What we should be worried about now isn't our performance at the dinner table, but rather the additional conditions Wayne offered for the sponsorship. Damn, he gave two hundred million without batting an eye. I wish I could say that one day." — envious and jealous

Dent: "You can forget about that in this lifetime. As for the additional conditions Mr. Wayne proposed, I believe the chief director will..." — losing confidence

Robin: "You're not confident either, right? Who knows what that old lunatic will do. He might just withdraw the two hundred million sponsorship. After all, Mr. Wayne's requirement is to play the lead role, the male lead! Not a minor role, but the lead, the male lead!"

I (narrator): "Lead role? If he plays the lead, what will Kent play? The third lead? Kent will be tragic again?"

Dent: "I'm worried about this too. If the additional conditions anger Chief Gao and he rejects them, it will leave a bad impression on Mr. Wayne, which will be very detrimental to my future development. I must help Mr. Wayne persuade Chief Gao."

Robin: "You want to persuade the old lunatic? Are you mistaken? Who are you working for, and who pays your salary?"

Dent: "You fool, what do you know? Chief Gao is a great man, but he's already sixty-one years old and won't be in power for much longer. Mr. Wayne is only twenty-eight, with a bright future ahead. I need his help when I climb up, so I can't afford to offend him."

Robin: "I don't understand your twisted logic. Do whatever you want." — impatient

Dent: "People aim high, and water flows low. It's not wrong to have ambition and strive to improve one's living conditions. Why are you so impatient? Didn't you just envy and hate Mr. Wayne's generosity? Hypocrite!"

Robin: "I can barely meet my basic living needs, I'm poor, and being poor makes one short-sighted. If I had a stable job and a decent life, I would be content and focus on my work..."

Dent: "Good, good, good, you're so upright and impressive, right? You're a simple and honest guy." — unable to bear it, interrupting Robin

I (narrator): "Don't like seeing your other side and choose to escape?"

gctv, [nijia-yeye] film set, Robin and Dent report to Gao Deng about Wayne's additional conditions for the sponsorship.

Gao Deng: "..." — face twisted

Gao Deng: "He wants to play the lead, the male lead?"

Dent: "Yes, Mr. Wayne admires you so much, his admiration is like a continuous river, and he can't wait to join our film set..." — trying to persuade Gao Deng

Gao Deng: "Enough, I have my own plans. You two did a good job, well done."

Dent, Robin: "The old lunatic praised us?" — doubting their hearing

Gao Deng: "Robin."

Robin: "Yes?" — uneasy

Gao Deng: "This is your employment contract with the film set. Take a look, and if there are no issues, sign it."

Robin: "Ah..." — looked at the contract, signed it

I (narrator): "Young man, you should read it carefully. This is your indenture."

@

Gao Deng: "Good, (looked at the signed contract) you can go home today. Start officially tomorrow. Dent, don't leave yet, I have something to discuss with you."

Dent: "Yes."

After Robin left

Dent: "Why did the chief director keep me? Is it about the additional conditions for Mr. Wayne's sponsorship? Do you want to negotiate with him?" — guessing

Gao Deng: "Negotiate? Why would I negotiate with him? I'm happy with his additional conditions. If he's eager to go and risk his life, why should I stop him? I'm not crazy."

Dent: "Ah? Chief director, are you mistaken? Mr. Wayne wants to play the male lead, the lead role, not a stunt actor. How could there be any danger?" — confused

Gao Deng: "Although you are part of the organization, you don't know the true purpose and mission of this film set and the reality show. There are many secrets that defy your common sense. Today, I will explain them to you as required by the highest level of the organization. You must ensure that you keep the secrets and do not spread the truth, especially to Robin, who is the only one in the film set not part of the organization." — very serious

Dent: "I promise to the organization that I will not leak any secrets."

Gao Deng: "Good, follow me." — took Dent to tour the secret facilities of the Super Natural Disaster Countermeasures Office

I (narrator): "So this is when the old man finally revealed the truth to Dent. No wonder he was still upset about being transferred from the prosecution."

At Professor Lei Xiaogu's residence, Lei Xiaogu listened to Lei Xia's explanation of Wayne's ingenious plan.

Lei Xiaogu: "Hahaha, not surprising from my most outstanding disciple, who truly understands the meaning of 'any means necessary.' Knowing that the film set is a department that combats aliens and superpowered enemies, he still volunteered to play the lead role, which will definitely pique Gao Deng's interest and attention."

Lei Xia: "Although Wayne's actions have piqued Gao Deng's interest, they also put him in danger. Is the sacrifice too great? Is it worth it?" — worried

Lei Xiaogu: "It's not a matter of whether it's worth it, but Wayne must do this to achieve his goal and truly enter the film set. You know that before Gao Deng went to Wayne for sponsorship, he temporarily named his film set [nijia-yeye], clearly targeting me." — bitter smile

Lei Xia: "Your grandfather..."

Lei Xiaogu: "Yes, he's Wayne's grandfather, and thus my father. This is his style. Only by using this ingenious plan can Wayne break Gao Deng's prejudice and not be seen as a lackey sent by me to sabotage the film set. Only then will he be truly accepted into the film set."

I (narrator): "Almost everything the old scholar said is true. You two old guys do appreciate each other, and you both lost your wives. When will you move in together?"
