Chapter 20

In the cast and crew of "Sweeping the Drugs," Bai Xiaofei had a very extensive network of connections. He could interact with directors and big-name stars at the top and mix with the crew and post-production editors at the bottom, earning him the titles of "Crew Handyman" and "Sweeping the Drugs Know-It-All"! Qin Mingyue pretended to be Bai Xiaofei's girlfriend, smoothly connecting with the director, cinematographer, editor, and many others. Not long after joining "Sweeping the Drugs," she was already thriving and feeling very pleased with herself!

After "Sweeping the Drugs" wrapped, Qin Mingyue even won the favor of the director and was invited to play the second lead in "Ambush 2."

Then, there was nothing more.

Qin Mingyue immediately dumped Bai Xiaofei, and the reason was simple: they didn't get along!

One was a lowly laborer.

The other was a future star with limitless potential.

There was no possibility of them being together. Even if they forced it, it would only be a laughingstock and a mutual hurt! Better to part ways decisively!

Hmph!

It sounded noble, but it was really just a disdain for Bai Xiaofei's poor family!

Otherwise, why would Qin Mingyue start dating the national idol Chen Guxi the day after breaking up with Bai Xiaofei? It was just a change of another object to be used!

...

"Hey! Isn't this 'Crew Handyman' Bai Xiaofei? You're eating here too? What a rare guest!"

Chen Guxi smiled and then glanced at Zhao Yinxue, saying, "Is this your new girlfriend? Not bad! She does have some charm, just a bit too dark-skinned, but it's still acceptable!"

His tone was casual, but it carried a hint of condescension.

After all, whether in appearance or attire, Bai Xiaofei was too ordinary compared to someone like Chen Guxi, a son of heaven. The difference was like that between heaven and earth.

This was a natural sense of superiority.

People like Chen Guxi, who were at a high level, would never remember someone like Bai Xiaofei, who lived at the bottom. But who could have thought that Bai Xiaofei was once Qin Mingyue's boyfriend?

Even if it was fake, others didn't know!

In a sense, Chen Guxi dating Qin Mingyue was like getting a "second-hand" item, which naturally made the always proud Chen Guxi unable to accept it!

A big star like himself being outdone by an ordinary person was absolutely intolerable!

For a rival, any man would not have a good feeling!

Especially a former boyfriend!

If Bai Xiaofei were a powerful tycoon or a big shot, Chen Guxi might feel a bit proud, after all, he had stolen the other's girlfriend. The more impressive the other's status, the more it would highlight his own prowess in dating!

But Bai Xiaofei was just an ordinary person, which made Chen Guxi feel insulted!

A goddess-level beauty like Qin Mingyue, whom Chen Guxi had finally managed to date, turned out to have been beaten by an ordinary, common person!

Chen Guxi immediately held a grudge against Bai Xiaofei!

A few days ago, when Qin Mingyue formally broke up with Bai Xiaofei, Chen Guxi was there. His purpose was simple: to make Bai Xiaofei feel bad and to boost his own sense of superiority!

But he didn't expect Bai Xiaofei to say, "Dude, what are you showing off for? You just picked up someone's leftovers, look at you, so happy!"

Bai Xiaofei's expression was one of "that's all you've got!" which immediately infuriated Chen Guxi!

Now, seeing his enemy again, his face naturally turned red with anger!

"Immature!"

Bai Xiaofei sat still, muttering, then looked out the window, not even bothering to acknowledge him!

In the past, Bai Xiaofei might have argued with Chen Guxi, or even come to blows, but after obtaining the time-traveling device and experiencing two time travels, Bai Xiaofei's mindset and perspective had changed dramatically! Chen Guxi's current behavior, in Bai Xiaofei's eyes, was completely ridiculous. If he took it seriously, it would be a lowering of his own status!

If it were for a true love, Bai Xiaofei wouldn't mind lowering his status to teach a lesson to anyone who dared to provoke him, but... for a Qin Mingyue, a绿茶婊-like existence, Bai Xiaofei could only chuckle.

Two insignificant people, let them play their games; Bai Xiaofei had no interest in dealing with them.

Zhao Yinxue glared at him, her eyes blazing with anger, wishing she could tear Chen Guxi, that hypocrite, to pieces! She hated it when people said she was dark-skinned!

That was her deepest pain!

Bai Xiaofei could say it, after all, she had a crush on him. But Chen Guxi couldn't!

Chen Guxi was slightly taken aback, not expecting Bai Xiaofei to be so patient, then continued to mock, "Bai Xiaofei, this is a high-end restaurant, with high prices. You, a mere equipment operator, can barely make 4,000 to 5,000 a month. How dare you come here to eat? Did you just order a fried egg rice or something?!"

"Chen Guxi!"

Qin Mingyue pulled on Chen Guxi's arm.

Qin Mingyue stopped Chen Guxi not to save face for Bai Xiaofei, but because she felt that their status was too high to take things seriously with Bai Xiaofei!

Moreover, this was a public place with many people around. If it caused any gossip, it would be bad for herself and Chen Guxi as public figures, so it was better to be low-key.

Chen Guxi, as a well-known star, naturally understood this.

Under Qin Mingyue's pull, Chen Guxi sat down, then glanced at Bai Xiaofei with disdain and coldly said, "Hmph! Two losers dare to come here for a fancy meal, poor show-offs!"

Qin Mingyue knew Chen Guxi's temper was bad and was afraid of causing more trouble, so she quickly changed the subject.

She leaned close to Chen Guxi, speaking in a sweet tone, "Darling, ignore them. Let's order our meal quickly, I'm almost starving. What are you going to treat me to today?"

It must be said, Qin Mingyue was very smart.

While changing the subject, she also highlighted Chen Guxi's dominant position.

Chen Guxi felt very satisfied, a strong sense of superiority rising within him. He said proudly, "Baby, I've been here many times. I'm tired of red braised shark's fin, butterfly sea cucumber, and phoenix shark's fin. Today, let's try something different. Xiao Yue, what do you want to eat? Order whatever you like, don't worry about the cost. It's fine if we don't finish, as long as you're happy!"

Qin Mingyue hugged Chen Guxi's arm and pouted, "Darling, you're so good to me!"

"That's a given..."

Chen Guxi smiled proudly, while not forgetting to glance at Bai Xiaofei, wanting to see his angry or depressed expression.

But his goal was not achieved. His words were cut off as his eyes suddenly widened.

He saw Zhao Sen, Zhao Yichao, Liu Manjing, and a middle-aged man with glasses, all laughing and chatting, being led by a waitress towards their table.
