Chapter 213
"Kili?"
When Tom passed by a place, he saw a familiar figure. He called out tentatively and immediately got a
response from that figure. That man turned around and was surprised to see him. Then he said in
surprise, "Tom, hello."
That slightly plump figure had dark skin. He looked very simple and honest, wearing an ancient
eunuch's clothes, and his body covered with dust.
That man saw Tom and immediately walked over. With a surprised face, he punched Tom hard in the
chest and said with a smile, "It's really you, buddy. Long time no see. I thought you have already
forgotten me!"
When Elliot and a few ZQ Media's executives walked behind Tom and saw this, they narrowed their
eyes and some anger flashed across their eyes. They were about to come up to teach "Kili" a lesson.
Tom immediately raised his hand to stop them, giving them a warning glare.
Kili happened to wipe his profuse sweat just now, so he didn't see what Tom just did.
Coincidentally, Tom was idle and bored, so he came to the set with Elliot and the others to take a look.
He didn't expect to meet an acquaintance.
Recently, ZQ Media invested in a high-budget movie with an investment of 340 million dollars. As ZQ
Media's chairman, he had not pay a visit to this set since he had been in office for so long. Now that
since he was free, he wanted to come over to take a look, and he didn't expect to meet Kili.
Speaking of Kili, Tom was quite surprised, because Kili was an uxorialocal son-in-law just like him. For
the past four years, there were few people who didn't despise him and were willing to be friends with
him. Kili was one of them!
He heard that Kili had gone to other city to work, and they hadn't seen each other for almost a year, but
now they met on ZQ Media's set.
Tom looked at Kili's innocent face and said with a smile, "Are you kidding me? Kili, we are brothers. I
would never forgive you even if you died. Hahahahah."
Kili punched Tom again and said with a smile, "You bastard cursed me."
Tom chuckled and gave Elliot and the others a look, implying them to stand aside and not disturb him.
Then he looked back at Kili and said with a wicked smile, "Kili, why did you think of "being" a eunuch?
Your wife agreed?"
Kili sat down on the ground and casually threw a bottle of coke on the ground to Tom. He said,
"Bullshit. I'm here to join the filming. How about it? Isn't it awesome?"
Kili patted his eunuch's wear with a smug expression on his face.
Tom gave him a thumbs-up and said, "Awesome, you become an actor now. I'm still working hard."
Then the two of them began to chat. Tom took the opportunity to look around the set and found that the
scale was quite large. Because of the arrival of Elliot and the others, the director and the actors
suddenly became excited and acted especially actively. They curried favor with those senior managers
like Elliot.
Kili looked at Elliot and the others enviously and said, "Being a boss is really good. Even the director
and those superstars are well behaved in front of them. Unlike us, who don't have any human rights."
Tom smiled and said, "Kili, aren't you in the paint business? Why are you here to be an actor?"
Kili sighed and said helplessly, "The paint business was at a loss and closed down. My wife gave me a
good scolding. A friend happened to be a walk-on, so I joined him to do this. Hey, I must say. It's
interesting to be an actor. Not only can I make money, but I can also meet those super stars on TV
every day. I like this job."
After that, he kicked Tom again and asked, "By the way, Tom, what do you do now? Have you found a
job?"
Tom thought about it and said, "Yes."
"What work do you do?" Kili asked.
"A real estate agent."
"Hey!" Kili waved his hand hard and immediately stood up and said, "It's not a promising career. The
real estate market is not good now. Why don't you join me? If you work hard, you can earn one or two
hundred a day. It's good. And with your appearance, if you're lucky enough, you can be the main
character in three or five years. You might get famous then!" Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
"It's..." Tom was stunned for a moment and was about to refuse when Kili immediately said, "No more
crap. That's it. I have connections on this set. You can join me as long as I ask."
After that, he ran away without Tom's response. He went to talk to the director, but unexpectedly, he
was directly rebuked and scolded by the director.
He kept a smile on his face, but his body was very stiff. He bent over and kept nodding and
apologizing.
Finally, he walked over, wiped his nose and said with a smile, "Haha, it's done. When the director heard
that you were introduced by me, he immediately agreed."
Tom saw everything that happened just now, and he heard part of their conversation, knowing that Kili
had clearly failed. It was impossible for him not to be moved.
It had been a year since they parted, and Kili was still so kind. It was rare.
In the past, when he was a uxorialocal son-in-law in the Scotts, Kili helped him a lot. He knew that Tom
was living a difficult life and had no money. Kili often asked him to come out for dinner.
He had thought before that when he turned the tables, he would repay Kili. However, too many things
happened during this period of time and he forgot about it.
"Really?"
"Yes! I never lied." Kili patted Tom on the shoulder, looking very heroic, but he changed his tone and
said, "However, I think there are too many walk-ones on this set, and the competition is big. I thought
about it carefully and decided to recommend you to another set. The competition on that set is
relatively small, and there is no need to act a eunuch, just a passer-by, hahahahaha."
Tom still wanted to say something, but Kili took out his phone and called. After a few words, he showed
joy on his face. He patted Tom on the shoulder hard and said, "It's done. You can work there tomorrow.
I can finish my part on this set today. I'll go to that set with you tomorrow."
In fact, Tom wanted to tell Kili that he was now the chairman of ZQ Media, and there was no need to
play a walk-on anymore. He could also let Kili be the main character as along as he ordered. However,
when he saw enthusiastic Kili still treated him like his own brother as before, he suddenly couldn't spill
it out.
Next, Tom still didn't reveal his identity. After Kili finished acting, they went to a nearby food stall to drink
and chat.
The next day, Tom came to meet Kili on time and went to the new set together.
ZQ Media invested in this film as well, but it was smaller in scale than that from yesterday, which
invested only 30 or 40 million dollars.
"Director, this is my friend I told you about yesterday. He's also very hardworking. There's absolutely no
problem as a walk-on!" When they arrived at the set, Kili couldn't wait to drag Tom to the director. He
desperately praised Tom in obsequious tone.
The director looked at Tom and was slightly stunned. For some reason, he felt that this young man in
front of him looked a little familiar.
