True Star

Chapter 97: Still Too Young (2)

Tang Feng and Lu Tian Chen returned to their hotel suite. After closing the door, Tang Feng turned and saw Lu Tian Chen looking at him with an unhappy expression.

"I seem to remember telling you to come back here after talking with the director and that I would be waiting for you. Yet without a word, you went to have coffee with someone." Lu Tian Chen took off his jacket and tossed it onto the couch. Loosening his tie, he plopped down and gazed questioningly at Tang Feng.

Was Lu Tian Chen trying to scare him? Unfortunately for him, he was still far too young for that.

Tang Feng merely smiled in response. Like Lu Tian Chen, he took off his jacket and tie. Only, Tang Feng slowed his movements down as if putting on a striptease show. However, that was only a pretense. Tang Feng had no plans of taking off anything else after removing his jacket and tie.

"I don't think there's a clause in my contract stating that I have to listen to your every word like a slave." Tang Feng walked towards the bar in the room. He took out a glass and ice and poured himself some whisky. The weather was starting to become too warm for his liking.

"Is that so? I also don't think there's a clause in your contract stating that you can call your boss whenever something troublesome happens, right?"

Tang Feng tipped his head back and took a drink of the whisky. He turned and leaned against the bar. Smiling, he said, "Lu Tian Chen, don't put it that way. Who were the ones responsible for Albert's interest in me? If you hadn't given me away to Charles and if Charles hadn't brought me to that meeting, would I have ever met Albert?

"I don't ask for much. I simply want to be an actor, to enjoy the pleasures of being able to act and the fame and wealth of being successful. Most importantly, I want to enjoy a good life. I'm not interested in joining the criminal world."

Just as Tang Feng mentioned the criminal world, Lu Tian Chen reached behind him, pulled a black handgun out of his waistband, and stored it in a box right in front of the actor's eyes.

Tang Feng sighed and said, "I also don't want to see something like that."

"You've already seen it," Lu Tian Chen said irritatingly.

Tang Feng rolled his eyes. "Lu Tian Chen, can you at least try to be a good boss?"

"I've always been a good boss to you."

Lifting an eyebrow, Tang Feng said drily, "Of course you are. Despite almost drowning and suffering from a concussion, you sent your employee―recently discharged from the hospital―to someone's bed. You even let him be drugged and raped. President Lu, you sure are a good boss."

"You didn't tell me about this." A slight furrow appeared between Lu Tian Chen's brows.

"I didn't even know who you were back then. President Lu, who do you expect me to tell? Charles?" Tang Feng never held back when it came to biting retorts.

Lu Tian Chen shook his head. "I'll take care of it. You only need to know that I will never send you to someone's bed again."

"That includes your bed." Tang Feng thought it wise to add a sentence about that.

"I may be a man, but I'm also a businessman. The fact that I've been able to climb to where I am now shows that I don't think with my lower half. Tang Feng, I can see your potential. It doesn't matter who you were before or what you have done. From now on, you belong to me. I know you will become a true star." Lu Tian Chen stood up and walked towards Tang Feng.

Swirling the whisky in his glass, Tang Feng said, "Of course. I'm your employee. I won't disappoint you."

Lu Tian Chen walked right up to Tang Feng and gazed into his eyes. He reached out and took the glass of whisky from the actor's hand. Even while tipping his head back to take a drink, his eyes never left Tang Feng.
