Love? The Reborn Me Just Wants to Obtain Rewards-Chapter 905 - 374: The Terrible Cost for Nabba_3

Su Huai didn’t really want to pick on this silly girl, just wanted to see if he could train her, make her resemble something like a leading lady.

It’d be great if it worked out, but if it didn’t, it wouldn’t be much of a loss anyway—it was just an experiment.

As for the outcome, Su Huai maintained a cautiously optimistic attitude.

Because he’d watched a flop of a film called "Peaceful Entrance and Exit." The movie had major issues, with its story broken and chaotic, but Nazha delivered a peak performance of her career. Not only did she show genuine emotion, but her acting carried layers and depth, which was truly surprising.

Sadly, the director was too absorbed in his own world, dragging down what could have been Nazha’s breakthrough work into complete obscurity. It was a real pity.

However, judging from her performance, she does have potential—it just needs to be stimulated.

Conveniently, stimulating potential happens to be Su Huai’s forte.

"I’m definitely a great boss and also skilled at uncovering the strengths of a friend. I have a very clear plan for your future..."

Su Huai poured out a bunch of motivational talk, but she only clung to one point—

"Friend? Really?"

"All artists at Xingyu are treated as my friends, not mere employees."

Gou Huai dodged a direct answer, throwing out bait instead.

Effective, successful.

She pouted slightly in dissatisfaction, disappointed but not daring to push back, instead following along with the conversation.

"So what’s the S+ project you prepared for me?"

"That depends on the level of performance you can deliver at the time."

Su Huai, full of swagger, unveiled his arsenal: "Next year, for all major dramas released by Tencent, Xingyu gets to choose freely. As of now, those already approved include, but are not limited to: ’Fuyao,’ ’Ever Night,’ ’Battle Through the Heavens,’ ’The Song of Glory,’ ’Ashes of Love,’ and ’My Story For You’..."

Nazha’s eyes lit up: "Wow! These are all big IPs?"

Su Huai didn’t follow the script to continue bragging but quickly reined things in: "Sadly, ’The Story of Ming Lan’ has already been locked in with Zhao Liying, and ’Like a Flowing River’ isn’t a good fit for you. Otherwise, those would have been the best resources to offer."

"It’s already amazing! Can I really pick freely?"

She didn’t care about the two missed opportunities at all, already deep in the sugary dreamland of potential roles.

To be honest, back at Tang Ren, she hadn’t even sniffed the scent of S+ leading roles, let alone having the privilege of choosing.

Su Huai nodded nonchalantly: "Xingyu has some goodwill with Penguin Film and Television. For next year’s variety shows, I’ll gift them a major surprise. After that, discussing investment and strategic cooperation will come naturally. Landing a lead role will be a piece of cake."

"Then I’ll go back and work really hard!"

Favorability Rating +2, now at 96.

Gou Huai siphoned off a bit of exhilaration from her and then began plotting—should he seal the deal tonight, maxing out that 100-point Favorability Rating, and then position her for a fresh opportunity?

After some contemplation, he ultimately decided to behave like a decent human.

Mostly because he had an image to maintain as the "cool guy." It wouldn’t be right to sweet-talk her into submission without actually delivering anything substantial—too unprincipled.

Better to wait. Progress step by step.

However, while he was leaning toward kindness, Nazha had her own agenda.

Even though there was hardly anything left to discuss, she refused to leave, eventually hemming and hawing to ask: "Mr. Su, I was wondering if I could treat you to dinner tonight. Do you have time?"

Seeing Su Huai’s slightly odd expression, she hastily covered her cheeks with her hands: "Oh gosh, don’t overthink it! I just feel like I should thank you for how much effort and care you’ve given me..."

"Oh, is that so..."

Su Huai nodded in a straightforward manner: "Alright, you make the arrangements. And don’t mention gratitude or anything—friends take care of each other; mutual effort is the key to lasting connections, right?"

"Mm, mm, mm!"

The silly girl nodded repeatedly, her face glowing with delight, radiating a bright charm.

She might not have any hidden intentions, only wanting to spend more time with Su Huai, but curiosity about this top-notch Gou Dongxi in itself was already a dangerous trap.

She didn’t understand, and thus, she was bound to pay a heavy price...
