Chapter 122: 122

On the dim, hazy dance floor, the crowded air was filled with the smell of smoke and alcohol .

Currently, Rowling Keith was holding a bottle of brandy as he swayed headily on the dance floor with Jennifer, the most beautiful woman in the company .

Jennifer was in her thirties, with a hot, alluring figure sheathed in a sexy dance skirt . Her enchanting body kept twisting to the rhythm of the dance floor, causing everyone’s imagination to run wild .

“Ella, you’re mesmerizing tonight . ”

Keith stretched out his hand with bleary eyes, trying to touch her figure . However, there was only a gentle laugh in his ears . He did not know when, but Jennifer had already moved behind him .

Keith chuckled and quickly turned around to hold her . The both of them left the dance floor, bodies pressed together, and walked out of the bar .

A certain, heavy musk seemed to increasingly pervade the air . They got into the car impatiently . Before Keith could slot in the car key, he felt a sudden, surprising burst of heat beside him, then a scent filled the air…

“Cut!”

Just then, a voice cried out loudly . A group of strangers suddenly appeared around Keith and Jennifer . Some of them came forward with lights in their hands to light up the place while others proficiently reapplied both of their makeup .

The sultry atmosphere dissipated at once .

At the same time, a little further away, a man dressed like a director was sitting on a recliner and informing everyone loudly, “The third act is complete . Thank you, people! Next is the fourth act . Villains, get ready!”

Following this, everyone bustled about once more .

Currently, Cheng Cao was silently smoking at one side, uninterestedly looking at the flurrying crew . He looked somewhat resigned .

As Qian Wenhuan was managing the construction of the Eco Science City, Chen Chen had sent Cheng Cao to oversee the progress of the filming in Hollywood .

Although Cheng Cao had never worked in the film industry, he was merely acting as an executive producer . Essentially, he was supervising them to make sure the production team did not slack off after taking the money .

At the moment, the shooting had gone on for a week .

This movie Chen Chen had invested in was named Deadly Crisis: A Shocking Scheme . This movie title was a bit trashy, but with the connections of the Edwards family, it had managed to rope in many big movie stars, helmed by the famous Hollywood director Studebaker . It was truly a star-studded team .

The film immediately attracted the attention of many fans since the project was established . These well-known director and actors had their legion of fans . Coupled with promotion by the directors’ guild, the buzz it received was not weaker than the fifth Avengers film which had also started filming .

Even so, all this did not concern Cheng Cao . Now, he just sat in a daze next to the director each day or stood in a corner and smoked silently, ignoring everyone .

Even when some of the female crew members secretly contacted Cheng Cao in the middle of the night, trying vainly to get in his pants, Cheng Cao remained unmoved .

As time went on, everyone started to ignore this statue-like executive producer .

After this, five performers in black, skintight costumes, holding strange props, appeared one by one . The martial arts instructor started to choreograph their movements while the male and female lead continued discussing the plot .

However, for some reason, when Studebaker saw the villains’ get-up, he suddenly frowned and said to the stylist beside him, “Mr . Mill, do you think that these outfits are… Hmm, how do I put this — too old-fashioned?”

“Hey, this is the most classic villain look these days . ”

The bearded man beside him quickly defended . “I bet that there’ll be no other look that’s more of a classic than this movie in five years . ”

“It’s not that I question your expertise, but I think that maybe the villains’ outfits are too obvious? It’s as if the words ‘I’m the villain’ are written on their faces . ”

Studebaker frowned and suggested, “Is it possible to make their aesthetic more profound?”

“What do you have in mind?” The bearded man instantly sounded huffy .

Studebaker became contemplative . He looked around as if searching for inspiration . When he saw Cheng Cao, his eyes suddenly lit up .

“Eureka! What if we dress the villains in an additional layer of casual clothes? Just like Mr . Cheng Cao . Won’t that be cool?”

Studebaker pointed at Cheng Cao . “If we use the camera well, we can draw attention to the skintight suit at the neck area . To the audience, it’ll fit even better with the idea of the villains’ concealment, right?”

When Mill heard this, he looked at Cheng Cao thoughtfully . “There’s some truth in what you’re saying…”

Cheng Cao was dumbfounded when he overheard this conversation . He knew that they had said all this because they noticed the GS Combat Suit he was wearing .

The GS Combat Suit was well concealed indeed, but its only flaw was that the collar was too high . There were not many clothes that would cover it . In addition, the four “buttons” that glowed with a blue light on the collar were so sleek and dazzling, like something out of sci-fi .

To cover up the glowing of the buttons, B . S . S . members had dyed the buttons black . Even so, it was inevitable that when they hung around long enough, people would notice the details of their collar .

This was the only flaw of the GS Combat Suit .

…

On the other side of things, the primate experiment went off without a hitch . In just one month’s work, the Alzheimer’s disease in all the chimpanzees had been successfully suppressed and their brains had entered the recovery phase .

Seeing this, Chen Chen no longer hesitated . He asked Little X to book a plane ticket back to Shangdu and left Africa with a pile of materials on treating Alzheimer’s .

More than ten hours later, when Chen Chen got off the plane and set foot in Mainland China once again, he instinctively took in a deep breath .

After one and a half years, he had finally returned to his hometown .

After staying in Switzerland and Namibia for so long, Chen Chen had nearly forgotten that he was a native of China . It was only when he got off the plane and saw the Asian faces which filled the airport that he felt an unusual rush of familiarity .

“The feeling of homecoming…”

Chen Chen murmured in a low voice, then walked forward to queue at the administration area of Immigration and waited to be inspected .

This time, Chen Chen did not inform his head office that he was returning . At this point, the head office was in full swing under Xia Yin’s management . In terms of the translator, hundreds of thousands of copies were sold each month . Although this was partly due to the state’s support, it was still not an easy feat .

However, internationally, the expansion of the simultaneous translator had not gone smoothly . It was still waiting for approval in various countries, which in turn seemed to be waiting for their own people to crack the code .

Still, this did not worry Chen Chen . In any case, the core code of the translator was right there . If those people could crack it, then it would not matter even if Chen Chen handed over his entire company .

This was all about a programmer’s dignity .

Ten minutes later, Chen Chen exited the airport, hastily got into a taxi, and rushed toward the affiliated hospital of Shangdu Jiao Tong University’s medical school .
