Becoming a Billionaire after Divorce

"Isn't it? I see everyone saying that online. There's no smoke without fire," Sun Dasheng shrugged, sitting down at the head of the bed to quietly admire her peerless beauty.

This level of beauty is no exaggeration. No wonder she still has a place in showbiz, even after her reputation was left in ruins. While she was no longer one of the hottest A-listers, she hadn't completely vanished from the entertainment world. The legend of her top-tier looks always remained.

"Humph! That's just a persona to fool the fans. You're a big-shot boss, surely you don't believe that stuff, do you?" Guli Nazha looked skeptically at the man sitting beside her.

"What do you think?" Sun Dasheng didn't answer her directly. Instead, he reached over, took the cigarette from her hand, and stubbed it out in the ashtray on the nightstand. He then reached out and caressed her perfect face. "TSK TSK, truly beautiful."

She could tell his compliment was genuine, and although she was tired of hearing such praise, she still smiled and said, "Thank you!"

"You're very handsome, too. You leave most of the so-called hunks in our industry in the dust," she returned the compliment.

"Thanks! I happen to think so myself."

"Wow! You're so narcissistic," Guli Nazha said with playful exaggeration, then added, "Just like me, hahaha..."

Putting aside her reputation for being a love-struck, silly girl, her personality was actually quite pleasant. She completely lacked the arrogance common among other female stars—that condescending attitude of 'I'm a celebrity and you're a commoner; we belong to two completely different classes.' Even though that was the reality of the situation, it was still emotionally hard for most people to accept.

Of course, Sun Dasheng did not belong to the ranks of common people.

The dinner party organized by Sun Dacheng had included several other male and female artists, all of whom treated their "sugar daddy" with the utmost respect, just short of licking his boots. And it wasn't just the female stars who wanted to suck up to the sugar daddy.

One can only say that the current entertainment industry is a real mess. This is especially true for these stars born after 2000 who are desperate to make a name for themselves. They're willing to do anything for fame.

And just then... DING-DONG!

A text message arrived on Sun Dasheng's phone.

He took out his phone and saw it was from one of the post-2000s female celebrities from the dinner party.

He put away his phone nonchalantly, but Nazha, who was lying on the bed, had seen everything. She watched him, a knowing smile playing on her lips.

"Has romance come knocking?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

She giggled. "Alright, you can fool those little girls who are new to the industry, but you'll have to do better than that to fool me. It was one of those young girls from dinner, wasn't it?"

Sun Dasheng just smiled without saying a word.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes." Nazha extended a pale, slender arm, beckoning to him. "What's so fun about little girls? Come here, I'll show you something much more interesting."

"Oh?"

At the mention of something more interesting, Sun Dasheng suddenly felt wide awake.

SQUEAK... SQUEAK... The bed groaned, as if it couldn't bear the load.

In another luxurious suite at the hotel.

Jiang Yiyi tossed her phone aside and flung herself backward onto the bed, burying her head in the quilt.

Aaaah... Why isn't he texting me back? Could it be he's not into me? Was I just rejected after throwing myself at him?

The blow was too much for her. After all, this was the first time she had ever done something like this, and his silence dealt a heavy blow to her fragile heart. The courage she had just managed to summon vanished in an instant.

Once she calmed down, she sat up and rubbed her flushed cheeks, reflecting on her actions. What just came over me? Why did I send him that message as if I were possessed?

As a female star born after 2000, she had experienced both fame and obscurity. Her career had been a roller coaster of extreme ups and downs. After some self-reflection, she concluded that she was no different from the celebrities who were always trending online; the only thing she lacked was powerful backing. To this day, she was still working independently. Without a company to support her or a powerful patron to guide her, she knew it would be incredibly difficult to make it on her own.

So today, at the dinner party, she met a patron who caught her eye. Instinctively, she had made a move she thought would benefit her.

However, his silence shattered her fragile self-esteem. She had finally gathered the courage to put herself out there, only to find that he wasn't interested at all. He wouldn't even give her the time of day. For her, this rejection was as devastating as the long dry spell she'd endured after her hit drama "My Heroic Husband," when she hadn't received a single decent script for years. After "My Heroic Husband" became a huge success, she had fantasized that her career would skyrocket. Unfortunately, due to her lack of solid backing, she had plummeted back to earth before she even had a chance to take off.

Sun Dasheng, of course, was oblivious to the young woman's troubles. He was busy enjoying a massage from a famous star in his bathroom.

"Mmm, a little harder on my shoulders," Sun Dasheng comfortably instructed from the bathtub.

This was torture for Guli Nazha. As she sat on him, pounding his taut muscles, she said through gritted teeth, "You should find a big, strong guy to give you a massage. Your muscles are hard as rocks; I can't even make a dent."

"Haha, I'm just teasing you. Go on, try again," Sun Dasheng said, relaxing his muscles.

Guli Nazha tentatively placed her hands on him again. Huh... his muscles were much looser now. She instantly realized the man had just been teasing her. But she didn't say anything, simply continuing the massage in silence.

Lying in the bathtub, Sun Dasheng sighed inwardly. She's truly skilled at pampering a man. What a pity...
