Zhao An wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he brought three women to the restaurant for lunch, which was also lunchtime. Almost everyone there was an actress; some films were directed by other women and they also ate lunch there. The film set was large, with all kinds of films, and they could come back for lunch and then return to filming.
This arrangement was very friendly to the actors; at least they didn't have to eat boxed lunches, and the food was better. Male actors would come at specific times, only to finish filming their scenes in a few days and then leave. Basically, it was women who stayed there most of the time.
Looking at the cafeteria, she could see some familiar faces in the distance: fellow Oscar winners Gwyneth Paltrow and Scarlett Johansson, as well as some other Hollywood actresses. However, somewhat surprisingly, they all seemed to be pregnant.
Blanchett's eyes flickered. She sensed something was wrong. These women all being pregnant seemed amiss. Some of them weren't married yet; Scarlett Johansson, an Oscar winner, was divorced and still unmarried. How could she be pregnant?
Charlize, too, sensed something was amiss and became wary.
Zhao An, however, didn't think much of it. "Let's do it. We'll start after we eat. I have all day. Don't be surprised, Scarlett and the others are indeed pregnant, and the children in their bellies are mine. I don't mind them being my lovers, and even if it's an unplanned pregnancy, I'll take care of them. There's no need to worry about that. Like I said, money is just a number to me. If we click, I don't mind helping you financially. Money is something you can't take with you when you die; having too much is just a burden. So there's nothing to worry about. I'm not one of those hypocrites; I'm just a genuine scoundrel."
Zhao An ate his steak and burger as he spoke. He enjoyed this kind of high-quality food, which provided plenty of nutrition. He didn't like plain rice, but he was quite interested in various rice dishes. As long as he got enough nutrition, he had plenty of energy to rape more women.
Amber didn't care. She had already found out that she was just offering herself up to be raped. Taking the opportunity to have a deeper conversation with Zhao An, becoming his mistress would be the best outcome. Climbing the social ladder to a wealthy tycoon would guarantee her access to abundant high-quality resources, whether she wanted to live the life of a rich wife or continue acting. For her, this was practically a guaranteed success.
"Mr. Zhao, shouldn't I call you boss now?" Amber blinked, extending her beautiful leg to rub against the man's thigh. These subtle gestures under the table were often a way of hinting at something.
"Haha, of course. Come, have a drink. I'm very happy to work with such a beautiful woman like you." Zhao An chuckled, picking up his wine glass. He never refused women who threw themselves at him; if they wanted to sleep with him, he would satisfy them.
Blanchet frowned slightly. "Mr. Zhao, how long will the filming take? I need to go back to take care of my family. I'm sorry, but I have to ask." The subtext of this was that she had a family and found it difficult to accept being a mistress, so she was stating it beforehand.
"The trilogy should be filmed within a month. Then you can choose to travel and enjoy life like Scarlett and the others, or you can return to Hollywood to continue your careers." Zhao An wasn't angry. Once they were on his turf, there was no escape. These women were all sluts, his sex toys.
"Okay, thank you." Blanchett nodded, relieved. At least she didn't want to obediently stay here as Zhao An's mistress; that wasn't her personality. She had no ambition for money or fame, everything was indifferent, and it was precisely because of this indifference that she remained calm and composed.
"I've finished eating. Thank you for your kindness, but I don't think I'm very suitable for this role, so I'm sorry." Charlize refused decisively. She wanted to achieve her goals through acting skills, not by using her body, so her refusal was equally resolute.
"Haha, no problem. I'll have someone give you a ride, and you can take a look around the filming location. Since you're here, why not take a look around and have some fun before you leave? Cousin, prepare 100,000 in cash for Ms. Charlize. Even if the deal doesn't go through, we can still be friends. Let Ms. Charlize take it with her tomorrow, and arrange her plane ticket." Zhao An said with a smile. "Is that arrangement alright? If needed, I can arrange a plane ticket for today, but it will be a little later."
Charlize didn't want to offend Zhao An too much, so she thought for a moment and nodded. 100,000 wasn't a huge amount for her, but it was a token of goodwill. After hesitating for a moment, she added, "Sorry, I'm not prepared yet."
Zhao An waved his hand. "It's alright. I don't care about such formalities. If you like it, stay; if you don't, leave. There's no need to force it. The most important thing in life is to be happy. By the way, you can go catch up with your old friends now."
"Thank you." Charlize nodded, left her seat, and went to chat with Scarlett and the others. She wanted to find out what was going on. Zhao An seemed like a decent person, though a bit lecherous, but she still had a good impression of him. Asking more questions and learning more about him might lead to future collaborations.
Only Blanchett and Amber remained at the table. Zhao An smiled and said, "Let's start with Blanchett. Amber, you can rest for a bit; it'll be your turn later."
"Okay, boss," Amber replied, winking. She was really looking forward to meeting Zhao An. Hathaway had spoken to her with obvious admiration for him, especially about his sexual techniques, which had left Amber quite aroused. She wanted to see if he lived up to his reputation or was just all talk.
"I'm fine with that. I've finished eating, Mr. Zhao. Can we begin now?" Blanchett hadn't backed out. She needed some money and was also interested in the film role. Since he was interested, they could discuss the terms later.
