Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God-Chapter 998 - 997

Offending Hua Yiwu is indeed a risky affair.

Once Hua Yiwu snagged a movie role, playing the male lead. The production chose Hua Yiwu for the main role because of his popularity. To get Hua Yiwu to say yes, they not only offered a sky-high fee but also added many perks, treating him like a VIP.

In an era where traffic rules, having popularity means power.

Then something happened—a male actor in the cast, playing a supporting role. This actor wasn't well-known, but his acting skills were praised within the industry. He proactively sought out this role, earning it through his talent.

This actor generally looked down on pretty faces, believing they were all about looks with no substance.

Coincidentally, the lead of this movie was Hua Yiwu, a top-tier popular pretty face.

The first day this actor joined the crew, he met Hua Yiwu, with a blank face, not greeting Hua Yiwu proactively.

This irked Hua Yiwu, who immediately demanded from the producers to replace this actor.

The producers didn't dare defy Hua Yiwu and fired the actor without a second thought.

The actor had struggled to get this role, hoping it would propel him to fame, but lost his job for offending Hua Yiwu.

Worse yet, when news spread within the circle, to avoid crossing Hua Yiwu, no one dared hire this actor, leaving him jobless. He ended up quitting acting and went back home to open a restaurant, changing his career completely.

In comparison, the actor was insignificant, while Hua Yiwu had immense popularity, so there was no need to upset Hua Yiwu over someone insignificant.

Thus, Hua Yiwu wasn't entirely threatening Ning Xiaoyue; rather, he was genuinely hard to offend.

Ning Xiaoyue was new to the industry and didn't understand much.

But her assistant did.

The assistant quickly tugged Ning Xiaoyue's sleeve, suggesting, "Xiaoyue, you better not offend him. He looks upset; quickly say something nice to calm him down. This is no joke."

Ning Xiaoyue was puzzled, questioning why she should please Hua Yiwu. She didn't feel it was necessary at all.

She was already absent-minded, preoccupied with thoughts of Brother Lin Fan. Hua Yiwu's timing was poor; she didn't want any dealings with him.

"Sorry, I'm genuinely waiting for someone."

Under her assistant's persuasion, Ning Xiaoyue reluctantly replied.

Hua Yiwu sneered, "Waiting for someone? I doubt you're waiting for anyone. Waiting is merely an excuse; you just want to brush me off."

Ning Xiaoyue: "..."

Even if she wasn't actually waiting for someone and indeed wanted to brush off Hua Yiwu, the fact that he threatened her knowing she wished to avoid him was truly annoying.

Hua Yiwu said, "What? Did I hit the nail on the head?"

Ning Xiaoyue said, "I don't want to talk to you."

Hua Yiwu retorted, "I must educate you; when I take the initiative to speak to you, you should graciously respond. But you disappointed me. If you intend to mix in the entertainment world, it's not just about talent; you must first learn to be sociable."

Ning Xiaoyue, feeling repulsed, replied, "What are you talking about? I really am waiting for someone."

"Really? Who are you waiting for?" Hua Yiwu asked, curious about who could possibly be more important than him, as Ning Xiaoyue ignored him for someone else.

"It's me."

A voice came from the side.

Lin Fan!

Of course, Ning Xiaoyue was waiting for Lin Fan.

"Brother Lin Fan!"

Upon spotting Lin Fan, Ning Xiaoyue was overjoyed, immediately scampering to Lin Fan's side. She was thrilled to see Brother Lin Fan at last. With Brother Lin Fan around, everything would be fine; she felt completely relieved as her anxious heart settled down.

Her clingy demeanor towards Lin Fan sparked a nameless fury in Hua Yiwu.

"Lin Fan?" Hua Yiwu took a long look at Lin Fan, pondering who this person might be, someone Ning Xiaoyue relied on so much!

It was clear that Ning Xiaoyue's attitude towards Lin Fan and Hua Yiwu was entirely different. She was indifferent to Hua Yiwu, treating him like any ordinary stranger.

While with Lin Fan, she behaved as if encountering her own brother.

The key was, Hua Yiwu was extremely proud and confident; he rarely took the initiative to approach Ning Xiaoyue, never expecting this outcome.

Who on earth is this Lin Fan?

Judging by his attire, he wore clothes worth only a few thousand bucks, from a second-tier German brand—not someone wealthy, just a pauper!

That's how Hua Yiwu perceived Lin Fan.

Indeed, he had every right to look down on Lin Fan since he was a top-tier popular celebrity, approached by numerous world-class luxury brands for collaboration. Currently, he endorsed two global high-end fashion brands. He was a fashion regular, often invited to premier fashion shows worldwide.

With his fashion insight, he immediately recognized what Lin Fan was wearing.

To someone like Hua Yiwu who casually wore high-end luxury, Lin Fan seemed downright beggarly.

Hua Yiwu was confused, pondering what he lacked compared to this beggar who managed to win Ning Xiaoyue over.

"Apologies, I've been busy today, arriving now to find you." Lin Fan smiled at Ning Xiaoyue, ignoring Hua Yiwu. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

To Lin Fan, Hua Yiwu was akin to garbage; he clearly knew what kind of person Hua Yiwu was, what bad deeds he had done. That piece of trash would soon be dealt with.

Ning Xiaoyue said, "No worries. It's just good that Brother Lin Fan is here. Brother Lin Fan, I want to leave here. There's less than two hours until a team event; I need to hurry back."

Lin Fan said, "You can't leave yet; Liu Jinwei wants you to perform shortly on stage."

Ning Xiaoyue was startled, "I have to perform here?"

Lin Fan said, "Yes, let's discuss it over there."

Saying that, Lin Fan prepared to leave with Ning Xiaoyue.

Unbelievable!

Hua Yiwu was furious as these two treated him as if he were invisible, completely ignoring his presence.

"Stop right there! Did I say you could leave? I have more to say to Ning Xiaoyue. Who are you to interrupt?" Hua Yiwu coldly commanded, halting Lin Fan.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan asked Ning Xiaoyue, "Xiaoyue, do you have more to say to him?"

Ning Xiaoyue promptly replied, "No, I don't want to deal with him. He came over to chat on his own, but I told him I'm waiting for you. He still wouldn't leave; I don't know him well, don't recognize him, what more could I possibly have to say?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Yiwu was nearly enraged.

"Ning Xiaoyue, aren't you afraid of me ensuring you can't ever make it in the entertainment industry?" Hua Yiwu warned coldly.

Lin Fan lightly smiled, looking up at Hua Yiwu, "Really? Did you eat too much garlic? Your tone is mighty. But I think you're nearing a dead end yourself."

"What did you say?" Hua Yiwu flared up in anger.
