”How does it look? Am I not very handsome?”

Zian put on a suit he had not worn for a very long time, tied his tie, and applied some special hair mousse. He posed from left to right in front of the mirror before he contentedly asked the elfins his question.

He hadn't worn a suit since he left his previous job and inherited the pet shop. He raised his arms and stretched his legs, but there was an awkward feeling that lingered no matter what he did. It was probably because, ever since he had started training with Old Time Tea, the fat on his body had turned into muscle and his shoulders and chest were now firm and well-developed, which caused the suit to feel a little tight.

”Meow. Very handsome!” Galaxy said while seated on a chair.

”Ga ga! Great for going gay.” Richard descended on the coat rack and a hint of sadness lingered within its eyes. ”The late king in the midst of his conquest, the great Billy, has passed on. I shall now appoint you as the successor to the throne. From this moment on, you will be the Billy!”

”I don't know anyone by the name of Billy,” Zhang Zian promptly rejected. ”I'm also not going to inherit the throne!”

All of the other elfins were busy digging into their Turkish barbecued meat, currywurst, and Bavarian roast pork and had no time to waste on Zian.

In the WeChat group chat, Nie Yuan had mentioned everyone who was supposed to participate in the opening ceremony. He requested for everyone to gather downstairs in ten minutes so that they could all take a ride down to the Sony Center together to prevent anyone from being left behind.

Although there were many people heading down, only three people and a dog would be walking the red carpet. Aside from Zhang Zian and Famous, there was also the director, Feng Xuan, and the male lead, Lin Feng. There were no female characters in the film except for the female background characters, which was why there were no female lead or supporting actresses.

Famous, too, started checking itself out in front of the fitting mirror.

They did not go out again after they returned from the pet store earlier that afternoon; instead, they slept off the jet lag with an afternoon nap. After he woke up, Zhang Zian went out alone and returned with a lot of snacks that he had bought. Zian then gave Famous a shower, blow-dried its hair, and brushed it silky smooth. He also carefully picked out a bowtie and dressed Famous up to be a fine-looking dog.

It could be said that there was not a dog in all of Berlin that looked any smarter than Famous did. Zhang Zian did not put the sunglasses on Famous for the time being, since that was their secret weapon.

Executive producer Nie Yuan was a member of the organization and, as the leader of the Berlin trip, he wished for nothing more than a smooth trip. Although he was well-rounded in handling matters, he was also very conservative. If he were to see Famous with sunglasses on, there was a very high chance of Zhang Zian and Famous being reprimanded for being an attention seekers––even putting a bow tie on Famous was pushing his limit.

Of course, even the male lead, Lin Feng, self-proclaimed as the top star from China for the Berlin trip, was not willing to let anyone else or any other dog steal his spotlight.

With all that in consideration, Zhang Zian decided to go with a surprise attack and cook the rice before asking, which would give Famous the chance to show off and leave a deep impression on the others. That way, Famous could rope in more––and better––film contracts. As for how the others felt, it was none of Zian's concern. The chances of working with Nie Yuan and Lin Feng again were close to nil, anyway.

Since there were many other people that were going to be riding to the red carpet with them, Zhang Zian recalled all of the other elfins aside from Famous back into his mobile phone.

After heading downstairs, they met up with the others at the hotel entrance and got in the car together as they made their way to the Berlin Film Palace.
