"Brother Chen, are you going back to the company later or going home?" Zhang Ran asked while looking at the bathrobe on Mu Chen's body. He quickly took a set of clean clothes from the neatly packed suitcase and placed them on the bed for him.
"Go home," Muchen replied with two words. After finishing filming the new drama, the company gave him a few days off. Without any other business to attend to, he had nowhere else to go.
"I'll wait for you in the car downstairs," Zhang Ran noticed that Muzhen's face looked a bit gloomy and didn't want to anger him, so she quickly dragged her suitcase out of the door.
Dusk settled with a gloomy expression as he began changing his clothes, thoughts of Lu Ze still lingering in his mind.
In the morning, all he could think about was escaping from the scene, completely overlooking a very serious problem - did something really happen between him and Lu Ze last night? Did Lu Ze take any photos? If those photos were exposed, his acting career would be over. Even if they weren't exposed, if Lu Ze used this incident to threaten him, it would be more than he could handle.
After three to four years in the industry, Muzhen, although not a highly acclaimed actor or an influential figure, has made his way to the forefront through his own hard work and struggle. He is now a popular male actor, landing roles as the leading man in almost all of his works, with a handsome paycheck to match. Although his acting skills may not compare to those of professionally trained actors in the industry, he has managed to pass through the test of time after three to four years of honing his craft. Currently, he relies on his appearance to make a living. Muzhen's outstanding looks make him the type of idol who can boost the ratings of a drama purely based on his looks, often referred to as a "fresh meat" idol. His agency also recognizes his potential and is grooming him to develop in the fields of film, television, and music. Despite not being proficient in everything at the moment, his exposure has increased, bringing along a large fan base of female fans.
Given his current reputation, it is difficult to guarantee that no one would plot against him just to climb up by stepping on him.
With this in mind, Mu Chen put on his sunglasses and left the house. Once he entered the elevator, he pressed the button for the sixth floor directly.
When he appeared in front of Lu Ze's door again, an image floated in his mind. Last night, before he passed out from being drunk, it seemed like a figure had appeared before his eyes. He just couldn't see clearly what the person looked like.
It seems that Lu Ze is the one now.
Mu Chen raised his hand to knock on the door, but there was no answer after a few tries. It seemed that Lu Ze had already left.
He could only descend the stairs with a heart full of worries.
Stepping out of the elevator, several young girls in the hotel lobby were incessantly chatting. They were all actors from the crew and students from a nearby drama academy.
Mu Chen's latest TV drama is a youth idol drama, with the main setting being a university campus. Therefore, the filming locations are at this school, and many extras and supporting roles in the drama are students from the Drama School.
The group of girls that were waiting were all fans of Mu Chen. They were not only actresses from the crew, but also dedicated fans of Mu Chen. Previously, they were worried about affecting their work, but now that the filming was finished, they had no more concerns and had come to ask Mu Chen for his autograph.
As soon as Mu Chen appeared in the hotel lobby, several girls crowded around him.
"Muxin, I played your classmate in the play. Do you still remember me?"
"Muchen, I really like you. Can you please give me an autograph?"
"I'm really looking forward to working with you again, Muchen."
A few young girls were arguing with each other, causing a loud commotion and making their heads buzz.
In order to quickly get rid of these chattering girls, Mu Chen pulled a forced smile at the corner of his mouth, took the paper and pen they handed over, and signed his name with his head down.
When he signed the last name, Mu Chen lifted his head and saw a familiar figure sitting on the sofa in the resting area next to the lobby. The person was wearing a simple T-shirt with light-colored jeans, looking clean and refreshing. The unstyled short hair added an extra touch of softness and shine.
This was exactly the Luo Ze that Mu Chen had been searching for. After putting on clothes, he was almost unrecognizable.
At this moment, Lu Ze was leaning on the sofa, engrossed in playing with his phone. By his side, there was a small suitcase.
"Sorry, I have some matters to attend to. Excuse me." Mu Chen brushed off the female fan and then made his way towards Lu Ze.
