My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 741

Chapter 741 Bully

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.”

Huang Zichao’s lips trembled with outrage. He’s such a bully! I’m going to die if I keep drinking this sixty-percent-ABV vodka while he drinks tea!

“Are you going to drink it yourself or…?” As Qiao Zhan spoke, he handed the bottle to Huang Zichao.

Even though Qiao Zhan didn’t complete his sentence, Huang Zichao knew what words would follow. Either I drink this myself, or he’s going to knock me out and pour it down my throat! Obviously, if I have to choose, I rather drink it myself. It’s better than getting another deadly punch from this brute again! I’m going to suffer a concussion if he hits me a couple more times.

Despite his thoughts, he still didn’t want to drink because the alcohol was so strong that it burned his mouth.

“Fine, I’ll talk! I don’t want to drink this!” Huang Zichao relented and waved his hands. “Yes, I’m familiar with Ding Fei and I have met her before.”

Upon hearing that, Qiao Zhan released a sigh of relief. It would’ve been over sooner if he had answered Sir Chen’s question earlier. I really don’t want to hit him because he’s too squishy compared to me, and it’ll also make me look like a bully. It’s the same thing as a high-schooler fighting against a primary school student. It’s da*n boring.

“However, I don’t know who she is. All I know is that she’s an actor who bought a bunch of negligible awards overseas to boost her credentials. I have no knowledge of her abilities and her background,” Huang Zichao answered honestly.

“Tell me everything clearly,” Nan Chen demanded.

“From the beginning?”

Furrowing his eyebrows like Nan Chen, Qiao Zhan spat, “Of course! Do you think we want you to start from the middle?”

“Some time ago, I received an invitation to star as the first male lead in a drama. However, because it clashed with my schedule, I rejected the invitation. Still, they refused to give up. 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 yet. I planned to join them once the filming of my show ends,” Huang Zichao recounted.
