Zayn walked very quickly and didn't look back.

He didn't hear Elsie's scream

He had only taken a few steps out of the airport when he saw Alaric.

Alaric jumped out of the car and opened the door for him very carefully. "Zayn, you are finally back. Look at you,

so dark and thin. It is going to break Mom's heart when she sees you like this"

Zayn smiled and sat in the shotgun seat. "Acting is indeed tough, but it's much easier than when | was on a

mission in the army. It's also quite interesting. | can experience different kinds of lives.

|

"| also think that filming is quite interesting" Alaric started the car and swished his head sideways, trying to look

striking. "When | was in middle school, there were teachers who suggested that | apply to an art school. There

were also talent scouts who wantedto participate in stalent show or enter the entertainment industry.

Unfortunately, | liked to play basketball so much that | painfully rejected them." Zayn nodded. "Yeah, | believe

you"

"Hehe." Alaric smiled proudly. "Zayn, are you still going to act in the future? If you are. | will defin

it you at work."

"Yes," Zayn said with certainty, "the crew seems to be very satisfied with my performance and recommended me

in other progiction teams.

"Although the roles | took up are similar-either a soldier or a police officer, or a warrior or a fighter-as long as |

can fight well and look good on camera, it works for them. Plus, the salary is pretty good. I like it." Alaric ask

asked curiously, "How much are the other production teams paying you?

Zayn replied, "There's a military television with over thirty episodes. The salary after tax is 100 thousand

dollars, 1 don't have many scenes to act in, and the shooting and fighting aren't as difficult as acting in a movie.

"There was

Alaric was

was speechless. "It's quite high, but it might be dangerous to be a stunt double for the lead character of a movie.

You need to be careful"

Zayn nodded. "I'll be careful. Before the machine starts rolling. | always check all the gears and equipment."

When Zayn was in the army, he was prepared to sacrifice himself at any minute. He had also seen many

comrades perished right in front of him, Therefore, he knew how precious life was

He would never joke about his own life or the lives of others.

In

this movie he was currently acting in, he had cup with a lot of suggestions regarding military, face-to-face

combat, gunfighting. props and equipment. The military consultants and martial arts instructors agreed with his

output. The producer even deliberately doubled s salary. When he returned home, the first thing he did was to

announce the good news. "Dad, Mom, brothers, and sisters, | received a total of 200 thousand dollars for my part

in the movie.

Everyone looked at each other as they applauded.

Donovan's Restaurant made five figures of profit a day. The entire family felt that it was already very impressive.

Yet, Zayn earned 200 thousand dollars in less than two months from acting. It was even more than then what the

restaurant made.

No wonder so many young fellows racked their brains to enter the entertainment industry,

Zayn took out a bank card from his pocket and placed it on the table. "I've been in the military for five years and

haven't done anything for the family. This 200 thousand dollars is for Christmas. You can spend it however you

want

and picked up the card. "Alright, | keep this money for now and repay the debt in installments. Tellwhen you

need money. Our family's financial situation is quite good now. all the money you are going to earn for the next

two years.

Arthur interrupted, "Zayn, if you want to work in the entertainment industry for the long term, the expenses are

not low, though

"Firstly, you need to have your own manager and assistant. You also need to pay attention to your image. You

need to dress well, take care of your skin and health, hire someone to do your hair, style your hair, and so on.

You might also have to socialize and do favors. All these cost money.

Zayir nodded. "You're right. It's just that I'm still a newbie at the moment. There's no need to think so much for

the the being.

"When | get bigger roles in the future and that I'm sure | can gain a foothold in the film and television industry. I'll

consider it seriously."

Wesley smiled and said, "Alright, it's getting late. Eat up before the meal turns cold."

Alarc

looked left and right. "Is Athena not back yet?"

It was Sunday and the restaurant wasn't open Logically speaking Athena should be at home.

Arthur said, "Athena has been taking food out for the past few nights. She said that it was for an important

friend. She won't be eating at htonight." During this this period of time, Alar Alaric needed to participate in

tennis training and also prepare for the final exams. He was so busy to the extent of being overstretched. At

night, he either slept at the club or in school and rarely chome. That was why he didn't know that Athena

took took food out t every night.

Hearing this, Alaric threw a suspicious glance. "What friend did she send food to? Is it a guy or a girl? Is that

friend hospitalized?"

Arthur i Also,

replied. "That friend of hers must be a guy. Athena brings a portion for three every time. It was more than what |

could eat.

the other party is definitely not a patient. It's impossible for a patient to always eat such rich food and such a big

portion." Alaric's handsface tensed up when he heard that. He snorted sourly, "Could that man be her

suitor?"

"How long had my Athena only been back? We haven't even warmed up to each other yet. How could she be

taken by another man? If that guy who wants to pursue Athena isn't better thanin all aspects, I'll never

agree to their relationship, he thought. Chapter 211

Arthur, on the other hand, was very optimistic. "Absolutely not. Athena is outstanding, and her standards must

be very high Moreover, she's with us every day. Would she fancy another man after making a comparison with

us?"

Alaric didn't think much of it. "You guys really don't understand what's going through a man's head.

"That man must be pretending to be busy or weak to use it as an opportunity to get close to Athena"

Arthur, showing zero concern, questioned, "How old are you to know a man's mind?"

Alaric snorted. "Why wouldn't | understand? There are so many girls flocking to me. | know very well what the

girls are thinking. It's the sfor men. |
