A female character in a book, regaining her luck

The customized consulting company is actually what is commonly known as a private detective. Mu Chaosheng came to an ordinary commercial and residential apartment building based on the address they provided.

She originally thought that Dream Crusher made a lot of money and should live in a high-end community or apartment.

On the way here, she was still thinking about which direction to start to persuade the Dream Crusher, but after seeing the house, she felt that everything was settled.

There was a knock on the door, and Shen Zishu thought it was the takeaway. But when he opened the door, an unexpected face appeared in front of him, which made him stunned.

Mu Chaosheng, the eldest daughter of the Mu family, is a person who often appears in his lens and writing.

But this daze only lasted for a moment.

In the past, the subjects of his photographs would occasionally "visit" him for various reasons.

He was used to it.

Shen Zishu did not hesitate and simply invited Mu Chaosheng into the house and poured a glass of water in front of her.

Mu Chaosheng took the opportunity to observe the layout of the entire house and Shen Zishu.

The room is a one-bedroom apartment, not large in size and simply furnished. You can see everything at a glance.

There is no other bright spot in the room except a whole wall of bookshelves.

Shen Zishu's temperament is exactly the same as his residence, monotonous, dull and sluggish. Except for the pair of eyes hidden behind the black-framed glasses that have a slight brilliance, there is nothing special about him.

He is very tall, but his slender figure makes him look more like a piece of wood.

"Miss Mu, if you have anything to say, please speak directly. I am very busy."

Mu Chaosheng took out the latest magazine from his bag and placed it on the table.

Shen Zishu glanced at the magazine and his eyes fell on Mu Chaosheng.

"Bribe or threaten?"

Mu Chaosheng laughed when he heard this, then shook his head.

"Reporter Shen, you misunderstood. I'm here to learn from you!"

Shen Zishu looked confused and puzzled.

"Ms. Mu, I don't have time to beat around the bush with you. If you have something to say, just speak directly. If you don't, please leave."

It is true that you cannot judge a book by its cover. It is incredible that such a straightforward and dull person can write gossip news so fascinatingly!

"Reporter Shen is well-read and has a brilliant pen. I admire him very much. I have some good material, but I don't know how to write an article as good as yours, so I came to ask for your advice."

Shen Zishu stood up, opened the door, and made a gesture of invitation.

Mu Chaosheng took a sip of water calmly, looked at Shen Zishu and began to talk about his own materials.

"Seven years ago, a young man graduated with a degree in drama and film literature and devoted himself to the screenwriting industry with great enthusiasm;"

"He had won various awards during his student days. When he first entered the screenwriting industry, he thought he could make a name for himself. But in fact, the five scripts he wrote with great effort were not up to standard."

Shen Zishu tightly grasped the door handle and closed the door, then sat down again and said with a cold face, "Go on."

"After a bad start, he began to change his career path and took on scripts of different themes, but none of them could be successfully filmed."

"He had dreams, but the most important thing was survival. One day, he stopped writing his own stuff and became a screenwriter's assistant."

"Unfortunately, the job of screenwriter assistant did not bring new vitality to his life and career. Instead, he was constantly stabbed in the back by the two knives of ideals and reality, and he could no longer write anything."

"One day, he was wandering the streets in despair after a breakup and a job loss, when he suddenly heard a commotion. He looked in the direction of the sound, and his steps unconsciously wanted to chase after the noise."

"Like a wandering soul, he can't squeeze into the commotion. He can only wait until the commotion fades away before he has the chance to step forward and see what the root of the commotion is. Reporter Shen, what do you think it is?"

Shen Zishu clasped his hands tightly, as if he was trying his best to endure it. He looked up at Mu Chaosheng and said, "What is it?"

Mu Chaosheng smiled and replied:

"He discovered that what appeared before his eyes was actually the little essay in an entertainment magazine that he had previously disdained!"

"If it was before, he would not even look at it, but that day it seemed as if a magical power controlled his hands and he could not help but flip through it."

"He read one book after another until the bookstore owner sneered at his behavior of just looking but not buying, and then he walked out of the bookstore."

"At this time, he still felt that these small assignments were just gimmicks, without any logic or literary talent."

"As the lights came on, men and women were walking through the streets looking for company after get off work. No matter where he went, he could always catch a glimpse of the contents of the magazine in the hustle and bustle."

"The light from the street lamp gradually reflected in his pupils, and his eyes, which were as dry as death, finally had a glimmer of light. He finally understood a truth: a dream without a stepping stone is just a fantasy!"

"Reporter Shen, guess what decision this young man made next?"

This time Shen Zishu did not cooperate with Mu Chaosheng. He lowered his head and remained silent.

Mu Chaosheng didn't care and said to himself:

"He changed his career path again and turned to work as an entertainment reporter. This time he finally found the right path and became the most sought-after special editor and reporter for major entertainment magazines!"

“Isn’t it inspiring?”

No one responded to Mu Chaosheng, so he asked himself, "There are more inspiring things!"

"If it were someone else, they might just enjoy the hard-earned success right now, but this young man is not an ordinary person. He still remembers his dream!"

"So, he worked desperately, 24 hours a day, and he could be seen on the front pages of major magazines and websites because he needed the money!"

"He made a lot of money, but compared to the assets of ordinary people, this money is indeed a huge amount, but for his dream, it is just a drop in the bucket. With this money, he will never be able to let his script see the light of day again!"

"So, he worked even harder. Later, he stopped sticking to the scraps of entertainment and switched to the direction of exposing the negative information of celebrities. He became even more famous and richer!"

"But he found that the harder he tried, the more desperate he became!"

"Reporter Shen, why do you think he is desperate?"

Shen Zishu's face was tense and he looked a little painful.

Mu Chaosheng didn't expect Shen Zishu to respond to her. Just as she was about to continue speaking, Shen Zishu spoke.

"Because he found that even with the two stepping stones of money and morality, he still couldn't reach his dream..."

The words that Shen Zishu uttered seemed to have exhausted all his strength. Every word was spoken with extra weight and with extra gritted teeth.

If I didn’t know, I would have thought he had a grudge against these words!

"Congratulations, you got the answer right! You are indeed a great reporter, you really know people's hearts well!"

Shen Zishu sneered.

"The story is wonderful, and Miss Mu is a very good storyteller. She doesn't need my guidance at all."

Mu Chaosheng judged from Shen Zishu's subtle reactions from beginning to end that she had told her story very successfully today.

"The story is very interesting, but not perfect. It still needs some polishing by reporter Shen to become a good product."

As she spoke, she took out two agreements from her bag and placed them in front of Shen Zishu.

Shen Zishu thought Mu Chaosheng wanted to use this story to control him, but when he saw the agreement in front of him, he discovered her real purpose.

This made Shen Zishu, who was used to seeing all kinds of dramatic developments, unable to hide his surprise.
