Kili said playfully.
Tom smiled and deliberately said with a shocked expression, "Wow, Kili, how did you know that I am
the chairman of ZQ?" Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Kili punched Tom in the chest and smiled, "Damn it. You're shameless."
Tom blinked and said, "Kili, why can't I be ZQ's chairman?"
Just then, two work-ons heard their conversation, they burst out laughing and said, "Boy, you're really
funny. Do you know what ZQ Media is? Its market value has exceeded six billion. Do you know who is
the chairman of ZQ stands for? An absolute capital tycoon, a billionaire. Even our studio is invested by
ZQ. And even the director and Ashton must be humble when they see ZQ's chairman."
Another man also said sarcastically, "I think he has read too many web novels and thinks he is a big
shot too. Hahaha. Would a billionaire come to this small studio to be a work-on? How dare you say
that? Hahaha..."
Their laughter was very loud, and other work-ons heard them, who came over one after another. When
they heard what happened, they all burst out laughing, as if they had heard a big joke.
"I didn't hear wrong, did I? Can he be the chairman of ZQ?"
"Could that be true? How dare a deadbeat like him say he's the chairman of ZQ. Hahaha, this is the
funniest joke I've heard this year."
"Kili, where did you meet this weirdo? Is there something wrong with his brain? How dare he even
pretend to be the chairman of ZQ?"
They took Tom as a big joke and ridicule him, and even Kili was ridiculed.
LinZTom didn't care that. He had been ridiculed a lot, and they couldn't hurt him at all. However, Kili
couldn't stand it. He blushed and explained loudly, "You are the ones who are insane. Can't you tell that
my bro is obviously joking? Are you silly?"
However, no matter how hard Kili tried to explain, they didn't listen to him and deliberately mocked him.
The more angry Kili was, the more fun they felt.
Just then, a few people came over. The director frowned and said, "What are you all doing here? Don't
you have work? Do you want to be fired by me?"
In addition to the director, there were Ashton and Clarissa. Ashton looked at these work-ons with
obvious disdain and arrogance in his eyes. He felt he was much more superior than them.
Clarissa was not that arrogant, but she was also aloof.
When they saw the director, they immediately stopped laughing. They quickly explained in awe,
"Director, it's not our fault. The man that Kili brought here said that he was the chairman of ZQ, and we
felt it rediculous, so we gathered here."
When the director heard this, he was stunned. "What? The chairman of ZQ?"
"Yes, yes!" Then he pointed to Tom beside him and gloated.
The others were also gloating and they took two steps back to distance themselves from Tom and Kili,
which immediately made Tom and Kili be the focus.
Tom didn't take it seriously. His expression was still indifferent. But Kili looked miserable. His face
immediately turned pale and he was disoriented. He panicked and began to stutter, "Director, director,
it's not like this. My friend, he's-he's joking..."
Ashton burst out laughing. "Wait, what did you just say? Did I hear you wrong? You said you were the
chairman of ZQ? Hahaha..."
The actors next to him couldn't help but laugh as if they had heard some funny joke. They looked at
Tom and Kili as if they were looking at a clown.
When Clarissa heard this, her eyes also turned to Tom. She also felt that Tom was a clown. Then she
turned away her eyes. Instead, she said to the director, "Don't waste time on these trivial things. Let's
start filming."
"Okay, okay." The director glared at Kili and Tom and started shooting.
When Kili saw that the director and others had left and did not scold them, he heaved a long sigh of
relief, wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and said, "Tom, can you stop joking like this next time? My
heart can't stand your torment."
Tom was helpless. He was not joking. He was really the chairman of ZQ.
However, he didn't bother to explain this to Kili, so he patted Kili on the shoulder and said, "Kili, I see. I
promise I won't cause you any trouble."
Kili exhaled a breath of relief and said, "Tom, that's not what I meant. But it's hard to find a job
nowadays. People like us who are not well-educated and no special skills must grasp opportunities to
work as work-ons and tried to stand out. If we offend Director Chen and Ashton, we won't be able to
find a job in the circle in the future."
Tom's heart warmed up when he heard this. He nodded and said, "Yes, Kili, I see."
Kili smiled again and said, "That's good. It's about to start shooting. Let's get ready. Take the
opportunity to appear in front of the camera for any second! If we get into the audience's eyes and get
popular, we will make a lot of money! Come on!"
Looking at Kili's excited look, Tom only felt very interesting. He felt that as if he had returned to the time
when he just was Phoebe's useless husband and worked hard with Kili to earn money.
Then the director announced to start, and Tom finally saw how to shoot a film.
Actually, as the chairman of a film and television company, he was considered to be a big shot in the
entertainment industry. However, he didn't know how the film was shot.
But He was ZQ's chairman, who could be said to be at the top of the entertainment circle, and he only
needed to decide the general direction. He relied on data to make decisions according to the changes
in the market. In fact, he knew nothing about acting or singing.
Now he saw them filming, he found it quite interesting and he learnt something new.
But he found Ashton was a bad actor and didn't have many scenes after watching for 2 hours. His
acting skills were terrible, but Clarissa's acting skills were good, and she was more dedicated.
During the shooting, Tom followed Kili to play small parts and appeared in the camera for two seconds.
His appearance was to set off Ashton.
However, He couldn't stand Ashton's powerless actions , which were not valorous and imposing at all.
"Ashton, your actions are too weak. You don't have any strength at all. You are not competent at all!"
Tom could tell that Ashton had learned some kungfu, but his strength was too week, and his
movements were completely not correct. He didn't look as masculine and fierce as a martial arts
practitioner. Instead, he looked more like he was dancing. However, the director thought his action was
ok. If the film was released, its reputation would be ruined and the box office would be impacted!
After all, he was the chairman of the ZQ Media and had invested in this movie. He couldn't pay
attention to it if he hadn't seen it. Now that he had seen it with his own eyes, how could he let Ashton
spoil the work he had invested in? It was ZQ's income that was affected!
But his words offended Ashton.
