Reborn As The Villain President's LoverChapter 17

Chu Cheng only knew that Ji Qingzhou was on a hot search when he was having a party with Yu Anming.

   goQ0G8

“Anyi mentioned,” Yu Anming said, “She also said that you and Xiao Ji didn’t look like true love either, that you were giving him resources.”

“We are not really in love.”  Chu Cheng took a sip of wine, it didn’t matter.

   HISTYp

Qin Xue smiled, “But you are the backer of the family. Xiao Ji followed you just have good resources. You are the backer. You are too unqualified.”

  

“I didn’t give him nothing. I gave him money.”

 

zY0Sj5

Qin Xue sneered, “If Xiao Ji did other work, you can only give him money. He is a star. The most important things for a star are TV and movie resources. He makes a movie. It’s popular. What money does he need? Money is dead, resources are renewable.”

  

Yu Anming nodded, “That’s the truth.”

“But it’s normal,” Yao Xiuyuan leaned on the sofa with his legs folded. “If you really give him all the good resources, he will probably be ready to run away from you when he gets popular, so it’s safer to give money.”

  

Chu Cheng disdained him, “He is not the only man in the world. If he flies with wings, let him fly. I don’t have to find a new one, then I will be as relaxed.”

   n3cZ7T

“Gee,” Yao Xiuyuan tongue-lashed him, “I saw you treating him like that the other day, and I thought you liked him very much. I didn’t think it was all superficial.”

  

Chu Cheng put down his glass and looked at Yao Xiuyuan, “I am willing to spoil him, but I do not necessarily like him, if he wants to go, I won’t stop him, if he wants to stay, I also won’t drive him away, everyone get what they need, it is good to be happy with each other, wanting to be in a bad mood for such a thing?  There is no need. “

“Listen, Chu still has a high consciousness.”

“Since you don’t care about this, it is better to give him a decent resource,” suggested Yu Anming. “I heard Anyi say that their circle is quite serious about popularity. If you are popular, everyone holds you. If you are an ordinary little star, some of the crew members will ignore you.  After all, he’s your person, and he can’t always be an 18th tier actor. “

Chu Cheng thought what he said was reasonable. “I didn’t pick the drama for him. His agent picked it for him. I’ve been busy for a while, so I didn’t pay attention to it.”

  

  ”Lord Chu, you are eating the king's meal?!” Shao Yong interjected.

Chu Cheng was speechless. “I haven’t even drank tea before dinner.”

“You are so interested in my personal affairs. What are you doing, gossiping one by one? Am i entertainment?”

  

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“It’s disappointing that you didn’t have any surprises when entertaining me.”

“That is, I thought you two had been on the freeway for a long time. I didn’t expect you to still be at the starting point.”  Yao Xiuyuan laughed.

 

Chu Cheng thought they said a little more today, “Shut up, all of you.”

  H7aMX2

Yu Anming smiled, “Even if you two have nothing, but in the end such a big living person is accompanying you, you should give it.”

   

“I didn’t say I wouldn’t give it. I forgot. I’ll look at it later and discuss it with his agent to find him better resources.”

   JKHjP

“You still need to find?  With so many people under your command and so much money, just throw in one and let him be the man. ”  Shao Yong peeled oranges as he spoke.

  

 “I can’t find a suitable one, which is popular in the market.  When I was just like those fools, all I knew was that Casey’s own people were on the set, and I didn’t care whether the roles were right or not. ”  Chu Cheng shook his head, “Stupid.”

Shao Yong took the orange in his hand and threw it at him. “You’re smart.”

  

  Chu Cheng caught it and broke it off and ate a piece. “Not smarter than you.”

Shao Yong: … I have never seen such a brazen person!

Ji Qingzhou felt a little tired from filming. This kind of tiredness was not from filming itself, but from the flexible filming time and the long waiting time.  Not only that, when dressing up in the morning, the makeup artist who gave him make-up often changed it and then changed it for others.

   g0K3BP

Sometimes, he got up at 5 o’clock in the morning and went to the make-up room at 6 o’clock. However, because he was half dressed, she went to make up others. By the time she came back to make up Ji Qingzhou, it was already over 9 o’clock.

  

Ji Qingzhou felt that this was very time-consuming, so he chose one morning to discuss with her in a good voice, “Sister Xin, either I will come later, you first apply makeup to Brother Liu, and I will come back when he is almost finished.”

   RLk T5

Brother Liu was the fourth supporting character in the play, Liu Xu was his full name, and he acted as a friend in the drama.

  

“How can this work? It’s all written on the notice form. Your makeup time is 6 o’clock. If you are late, you can’t make up normally, and then it will be me, not you, who will be scolded.”

   7Al1OU

“But now, every time you do half of my makeup, then you go to Brother Liu’s side. I wait here, which is quite a waste of time. It’s better to free up this period of time and move back my makeup time so that you can focus on only one person at a time. What do you think?”

  

“I think you are looking for something.”  Zhao Xin was dissatisfied because she had to be responsible for the makeup of two people. Others started makeup at 6 o’clock. That was the makeup of the female lead. She did makeup for the supporting roles.

   Rq0Tcy

  “Why do you have so many questions, the schedule on the notice table is clear, you are to come to the make up room at six o’ clock, apply make up at nine o’ clock, Liu Xu’s schedule starts at seven o’ clock, make up at eight o’ clock, can i not apply his first?  If you have any questions, the deputy director set all the times. What can you say to me, can I change the time for you? Is the cast your home?  Everything has to be done according to your ideas. Why don’t you act as the male lead since you are so powerful? “

  

She had just dropped her voice when Liu Xu also came to the dressing room. Seeing Zhao Xin’s pale face, he asked her, “What’s wrong with sister Xin?”

  vXlcdz

Zhao Xin sneered, “You came at the right time. Ji Qingzhou thinks that I wasted his time in applying your make up, or you can talk to the deputy director and get a makeup artist for you.”

  

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“That’s not what I meant.”  Ji Qingzhou explained, “I just don’t think the schedule is very reasonable. Obviously, it can be divided into two periods. Why mix them up?”

   t3jvxg

“Mixed.” Liu Xu didn’t care, “The notice form was arranged, so just do it, is it not just waiting for an hour?  Just wait.”

  

Xiao Qian was discontented, then why didn’t Liu Xu wait, coming later than us yet making up earlier than us, why didn’t he wait an hour longer?

  RTId1B

  Zhao Xin took a look at Ji Qingzhou. “Do you hear me? Liu Xu has no problem. There are many things for you. If you have any problem, you go to the deputy director and complain, I work for someone else too. After you finish the play and pat your ass, we may still have to continue our cooperation.”

  

Ji Qingzhou was somewhat helpless. “Sister Xin, the reason why I said these words to you is because you are my makeup artist. I need to discuss with you first. If you agree, I can go to the deputy director for coordination. Otherwise, I will go directly over you and coordinate with the deputy director. Wouldn’t it be disrespectful to you?”

   adXo7y

“Then you don’t have to talk to the deputy director about this matter. It’s better to have less issues. I don’t think there is any problem. What do you think?”

  

Ji Qingzhou felt that there was something wrong, but what else could he say, he could only say, “Alright.”

   6f47U

Zhao Xin was satisfied and turned to do Liu Xu’s make up. Liu Xu glanced at Ji Qingzhou in the mirror and coaxed sweetly, “Sister Xin, don’t be angry. You look so beautiful today. If you are angry all the time, you will spoil such a good makeup.”

  

Zhao Xin smiled, “You can talk.”

   dPqoBk

“I don’t care,” Liu Xu said, standing still. “If Xiao Ji really cares, he can make up first. I’ll wait for him.”

  

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

“How can you do that? Your makeup time is 8 o’clock and you’re not done after 8 o’clock, that’s my problem.”

   1MzTVK

“I feel sorry for my elder sister,” Liu Xu looked at him through the mirror. “Elder sister, how hard it is for you. You have to start applying makeup for us at six o’clock. It’s too hard to have to stay at the shooting site to apply makeup for us.”

  

Zhao Xin sighed, “If only everyone were as sensible as you.”

   pedztj

Ji Qingzhou listened to them echoing each other and sat down speechless, feeling bored.

 

He promised Zhao Xin that he would not find the deputy director for it, so he would not really tell the deputy director about it. However, Zhao Xin didn’t like him for what he said and did. Instead, she thought that he was really a newcomer, so he was easy to handle.

   Eu482D

Zhao Xin had also been in this circle for several years. She was not only good at applying makeup, but had developed a lot of other skills.  She wanted to make up Chen Jiyuan, the male lead, but it happened that it was Ji Qingzhou and Liu Xu in her hand.  Liu Xu coaxed her and flattered her, so she was willing to give Liu Xu a good makeup.  Ji Qingzhou was not a sweet talker, plus the conflict caused by time, when Zhao Xin put on makeup for him again, she started to go slow unconsciously.

  

Makeup was a matter that could be perfunctory or focused. When Zhao Xin used to apply Ji Qingzhou’s make-up, she didn’t answer the phone, but now she did.  She wouldn’t answer the phone until Liu Xu left. The conversation time was not long, only 20 minutes. Then she watched as the makeup time came to an end and drew a few strokes on Ji Qingzhou’s face.  Ji Qingzhou’s foundation was there, and he looked handsome even without makeup, so she could draw a little, which was enough for the director.

   hO8FyZ

Xiao Qian was very unhappy. Zhao Xin got on the phone again and was ready to start while making a phone call. Xiao Qian finally couldn’t help it, “Sister Xin, what do you mean? Why did you stop calling when you applied make up for Brother Liu? When it’s Brother Ji’s turn, you start calling. “

  1. So now people are trampling on him huh HUH HUH??

    What is so hard about just being a decent and reasonable people 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡Chu Cheng your baby is being trampling on left and right! You can bully him but no one else!!<<<Thank you for the chapters🌹I hope they’ll regret it later /clenched fist

  2. Ugh. I mean, I know there is going to be more face slapping coming, but everyone is being an unreasonable asshole here to JQZ. So frustrating! I can’t wait for actual good things to happen to him! Let the world know not to bully him just because he’s not popular- yet!

    Thanks for your hard work translating!

  3. I just…why? Why do newbies deserve less care? I know this isn’t just fiction. It’s not about being selfless even. Just be a little tiny bit tolerant. CC you’re not doing very well as a sugar daddy.

    Thanks for the great translation ♥️

  4. Wow, biiiiiiiiiiiiitch.

    THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK!!!!!!

  5. That schedule is freaking stupid. How the f does that make sense? He needs to go over at 6 am and then get his makeup done at 9? 🤨 some brain hole you (deputy director) got there

    Makeup artist, your canon fodder career may end sooner than you think 😊And also that two faced Liu? 😑

    Chu Cheng, get your gong ass here and defend Ji Qingzhou or else! I’ll pray you’ll get twice as much heartbreak as I do when you start chasing after JQZ and JQZ doesn’t see you as a potential partner! Gong abuse! Gong abuse! Gong abuse!

    Ji Qingzhou, don’t mind such stepping stones and dust on the ground. Once you get through this, they’ll have to kiss your beautiful feet 👌 Keep looking and moving forward. If the gong doesn’t chase you, leave him 😊

    If this is anywhere like the summary, he’ll probably want to keep you beside him… but he needs to start treasuring you more. (Chu Cheng, you better do!)

    Thank you sooo much for translating this chapter! 💕💕💕

    Can we get a hint when the downpour of dog food is about to come? 🙏

  6. These people are jerks I hope the ML takes care of them or Little J face slaps them with his acting ~fighting (/>^<)/

  7. Chu cheng is too insensible and slow….I don’t like his attitude ….I want new gong who will never let our little Ji in this kind of unfair situation.

    I am angry…how come our Ji need to sweet talk with mobs …

    😤

  8. Chu Cheng will regret those words he said to his friends. fufu.

    AGGGGHHHH. Why this girl has to be like that? Can’t she be a profesional?

    Thanks for the chapter!

  9. Thanks for the chapter! If I understood this correctly, JQZ needs to show up at 6 am, gets part of his makeup done, and then the makeup artist stops halfway to do another one at 7am, and then completes JQZ’s for 9am? And she’s being pissy because she really wants to do the tv series’ male lead’s makeup instead? And she talks 20 minutes on the phone while at work? If she can put on the second actor’s makeup on in an hour, then she should be able to do JQZ’z beforehand. This schedule makes no sense… nor do her actions.

  10. Wow how professional of her. Just because she didn’t get the the male lead, she just do everything that she wants?

    Amazing.

    Thank you for the update ❤️

    I can’t wait for her to get slapped.

  11. Pretty sure this was caused by the male lead’s hissy fit, if not, then everyone is really stupid🤦

  12. Chu Cheng hasn’t done anything to make dealing with him worthwhile. So you paid a little debt, but that Fang guy would’ve too along with other guys. Chu Cheng didn’t even remember to get Ji Qingzhou resources. To be honest, Chi Cheng doesn’t seem helpful at all. It’s just sex sex sex with no benefits.

    That make up artist, along with Liu whatever, are pathetic. Really??? Bullying a newcomer? What does that even achieve? Bullying Ji Qingzhou won’t make her Chen Jiyuan’s artist, so… Why even do it???

  13. Ugh, this one really annoyed me to the nth degree! That is so messed up! How about we both get there an hour earlier, huh? Take a video of it and show how unprofessional she is. Other problem- she might mess with his makeup! Agh! Detest ppl like that!

  14. Ha. The efforts to try to kake the makeup artist’s life easier was in vain. The protagonist halo is gonna make her dearly regret that. 😂

  15. This make up artist and that Liu guy are stupid AF!! I know they are trying to make life difficult for him now, but he hadn’t even done anything to them. He made a reasonable suggestion but they chose to take it the wrong way because their pea-brains couldn’t figure out that he made more sense! 😠 🤦🏻‍♀️

  16. Que poco profesional, independientemente del estado de la otra persona, debe de cumplir correctamente. Además, la otra parte no ha sido irrazonable y ha hablado con ella primero.

  17. I don’t think it’s CC’s fault, since he doesn’t kno it’s happening and they j got together. I’m actually annoyed the MC isn’t telling CC about it. Like he sold himself to get a sugar daddy so why not take full advantage of it. They’re both men and capable of speaking. Just bc MC is a shou doesn’t mean he can’t nd stand up for himself.

  18. TBH guys if this many people held visible resentment towards me and being passive-aggressive about it, negative emotions would instantly build up in my chest, and when i get to my bed i would cry myself to sleep.

    So i usually admire those who can easily take the brunt of such hostility and fight back.

    JQZ, fighting!👊✌

  19. tbh this happened to me when i studied in the province. yk like I was so naive thinking they were good friends and then it was a damn slap in the face when one day they were changing your answers in the test paper just so you can’t perfect the quiz you’re doing.

  20. Although i appreciated every translator’s hard work, I gotta say this chapter is like mtl. It’s super hard to understand. The previous chapters have some parts like this too, but this chapter is the worst so far.

    I know i have no right to complain cuz it’s free reading after all, but I have always thought chrysanthemumgarden = quality translation. Seems like it’s not the case (And that’s sad cuz this seems to be a good novel)
