You Tianze was very talkative; Chen Fang didn’t even need to force conversation—You Tianze could carry the entire chat in a way that felt very natural and comfortable.

Look!

This is what a true businessman looks like!

In comparison, You Nianwei was a genuine rich second generation who only lived off her family’s wealth.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Fang lay on the bed with his eyes closed, lost in thought.

Since Le Mi was not Qian Youlai’s lover, and her grandfather used to be the director and film emperor at the old Guangying studio, the fact that Qian Youlai invited Le Mi to the company was most likely for the film and television department.

This little twist wasn’t hard to figure out.

In other words, Qian Youlai also had plans to rebuild the film and television department.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone through the trouble of traveling to another city just to bring someone over.

“Qian Youlai really has foresight,” Chen Fang mused.

Many times, Chen Fang and Qian Youlai’s ideas aligned without prior discussion.

But their interests came from different starting points.

Chen Fang wanted to rebuild the film department mainly because he was an artist signed with Future Star Path, and having a dedicated film department would save him from many unnecessary troubles when shooting upcoming projects.

Qian Youlai’s motive for rebuilding the department was singular: to revive Future Star Path.

With this in mind, Chen Fang realized he would need to go to the company tomorrow.

He had to meet with Qian Youlai to discuss the upcoming plans.

At present, Chen Fang had no other arrangements.

Of course, he hadn’t yet received any schedules for advertising endorsements, but he believed that soon many brands would come knocking.

Similarly, Wang Situ’s situation was much the same.

This young girl had skyrocketed to fame, her performance in the main competition of Star Light Road had won over countless viewers and garnered millions of fans.

Setting endorsements aside, Chen Fang now only needed to focus on one matter: the specific situation with Xi Dong. Once a casting change was confirmed, he would need to report to the company and head to Hengdian.

Chen Fang didn’t need to call Xi Dong.

For one, Xi Dong was probably very anxious every day.

Chen Fang didn’t want to bring bad luck by contacting him now.

Secondly, since the crew hadn’t started filming yet, the anxious parties were certainly the producers and investors, who would surely give Xi Dong a clear response soon. Once Xi Dong received the news, he would contact Chen Fang proactively.

Unconsciously, the clock struck past midnight.

Just as Chen Fang was starting to feel drowsy, a voice from the system echoed in his mind: “Daily treasure chest has been delivered and stored in the warehouse.”

In an instant, Chen Fang’s sleepiness lessened.

Lately, he had been so busy that he had almost forgotten about the daily treasure chest.

“The host lounges every night, tirelessly engaged in the noble primitive human activity of farming, so forgetting to open the chest is understandable. After all, you’ve gotten used to freeloading cheaply from me,” the system’s bland voice reached Chen Fang’s mind, tinged with a faint mockery.

Ha!

Man!

Basal animal!

Originally, the vitality elixir was given to Chen Fang to improve his frail body, but who would have thought he’d use this enhanced physique to create offspring—it was such a waste!

Chen Fang coughed a few times, retorting, “I’m a man, I don’t smoke or drink, I just have a bit of a thing for women—what’s wrong with that? Can’t a man have his hobbies?”

The system remained silent.

The next second, a virtual screen appeared before Chen Fang’s eyes.

Instead of displaying his personal attribute panel, the screen showed a pixelated middle finger.

The system had turned mischievous.

Chen Fang sighed.

“How many treasure chests do I have now?” he asked.

It seemed he hadn’t opened any for many days, and he wasn’t quite sure how many were stored in the warehouse.

“Four,” the system replied.

That was manageable—not too many.

Chen Fang had thought there might be a dozen or more.

“Open all four,” Chen Fang said, sitting up on the bed.

“Opening four chests consecutively,” the system announced.

“Please wait.”

“Congratulations, host! You have obtained [Attribute Point: 1], [Vocal Skill Mastery Card], [Attribute Point: 1], and [Charm Increased by 1].”

Chen Fang was very satisfied.

At least this time, the four consecutive openings didn’t yield useless items like laundry detergent or pots and pans.

The system had been obedient after all.

Chen Fang had previously requested the system to try to produce entertainment-related rewards when opening chests—it seemed the system had listened.

Opening his personal attributes panel, Chen Fang pondered for a moment.

Perhaps because this system was the ultimate entertainment system, unlike the grandiose ones in other novels, Chen Fang’s personal attribute panel was quite simple, with just a few categories such as charm, physique, and charisma.

Other systems might have more abstract traits like talent, comprehension, constitution, or physique.

After a moment of hesitation, Chen Fang decided to allocate both attribute points to charm.

There simply was no other attribute to enhance!

Besides, his charm score was already 97.

Adding two attribute points plus the additional one from the chest would push his charm straight to 100.

Chen Fang had a mild form of obsessive-compulsive disorder—if he could round a number, he preferred to do so.

“Add points to charm.”

The next moment, Chen Fang’s facial features subtly shifted.

His previously handsome and refined features became even more sculpted and exquisite, especially his eyes, whose pupils now sparkled faintly like stars embedded in his eye sockets, as if the night sky had been set within them.

In a sense, Chen Fang now, like Le Mi, possessed heterochromia—not by nature, but acquired later.

Honestly, the change in appearance wasn’t dramatic.

After all, his charm had already been at 97.

Raising it to the perfect 100 was just a matter of fine-tuning and embellishment.

The most noticeable change was probably in his eyes, but without close scrutiny, it was hard to tell.

“Not bad at all!”

Chen Fang stretched lazily.

He could now confidently say that no man in all of China was more handsome than he was.

Then, he looked at the newly acquired item card.

[Vocal Skill Mastery Card].

Chen Fang considered it briefly.

This card wasn’t of great use—he wasn’t very interested in vocal techniques, but some special songs required skillful vocalization, so mastering vocal skills would be a nice bonus for him.

“Use the item card.”

Without hesitation, Chen Fang activated it.

The effects of such cards were generally permanent, so there was no rush.

Naturally, Chen Fang also used the [Beginner Acting Card].

There was no reason to hold onto these two cards.

At this point, only one item remained in Chen Fang’s warehouse: the [Time Reversal Card].

He wasn’t sure when he would use the Time Reversal Card, and there was no pressing need now, so he decided to keep it for future opportunities.
