Chapter 463: Failed To Act Pitiful
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lin Zi retorted, “We achieved something for each other. Although I can’t help him much with resources, he’s still able to stand tall after offending so many people and so many media outlets. Countless. As his manager, I’ve also put in a lot of effort to protect him.”
Speaking of this, Lin Zi had something to say. “Let’s talk about this time. Ji Jun insisted on participating in this eSports variety show and even promised to live-stream at the same time. Everyone knows what his goal is. 1 don’t agree 10,000 times in my heart. After all, this means that 1 have to focus on the show and the public opinion online during the show. Now that the show hasn’t started, 1 can already imagine how much pressure it will give us.”
He had been nagging non-stop. He seemed to be complaining about how unreliable Ji Jun’s decision was, but he was actually secretly whispering to He Meng about how good his Ji Jun was to Yu Han and how much he had sacrificed for Yu Han. His goal was to pretend to be pitiful and make He Meng’s heart soften.
Although He Meng did not stop Yu Han and Ji Jun from contacting each other in private, she was obviously still cold to their relationship. Hence, it seemed impossible for her to take the initiative to matchmake them.
Hence, Lin Zi took the opportunity to act pitiful when he saw an opportunity. He wanted to create some good impressions on He Meng for Ji Jun. If he could move her, it would be much more convenient for the two of them to work together in the future.
Unfortunately, Lin Zi was scheming, but He Meng was not that short-sighted. She quickly saw through his plan and complained, “Sigh, it’s not just you. I also think this matter is too troublesome. In my opinion, it’s better not to make it so complicated. Why don’t I persuade our Hanhan later and say that she doesn’t want to live-stream? I think Ji Jun will consider her opinion and change his mind when he finds out. At that time, all of us will be much more relaxed.”
It had to be said that if Yu Han expressed her unwillingness to live-stream, Ji Jun, this “fatuous ruler” who was blinded by love, would probably call Ou Cheng immediately and say that he had regretted it.
Lin Zi did not expect He Meng to be so stubborn. If she really persuaded Yu Han and ruined the live-stream of the variety show, wouldn’t Ji Jun tear him apart when he found out?
“No, no, no. Sister He, let those production team members off.” Lin Zi hurriedly stopped her. “I just heard from the producer that they’ve already negotiated with the other guests and have started to prepare. If we go back on their word now, won’t we cause trouble for the staff? Our team will offend many people.”
He Meng rolled her eyes. “I’m just following your wishes. Your team agreed to it first, but this doesn’t work and you’re unwilling to cancel it. Instead of complaining here, why does it sound like you’re bragging to me about how powerful Best Actor Ji is? A single wish can change the direction of the production team and make everyone revolve around you.”
Although that was indeed the truth, Lin Zi could hear a hint of mockery in He Meng’s words. Since you’re already so capable, what problem can’t you solve? Why are you still complaining to others?
When Lin Zi heard this, how could he not understand that He Meng had seen through his little scheme?
He smiled bitterly. As expected, everyone who could make a name for themselves in the complicated entertainment industry was smart. Hence, he could only admit defeat and beg for mercy, admitting that he had failed.
He Meng hung up after mocking him. At the same time, she picked out two good invitations.
One of them was a guest star of one of the popular variety shows, “The Secret Room Escape”. The recording time was only a day, and the show was quite popular. It was a very good opportunity to make her presence known.
The other invitation was a short endorsement for a youth series of products under a certain national sports brand. The product location and main consumer customers were very compatible with Yu Han’s current position.
Yu Han had no objections to these two invitations after reading them. She even asked, “Is there no suitable script?”
He Meng shook her head. “I did receive many scripts in my email, but they’re all production teams that want to ride on your popularity. The quality is basically not good.”
Yu Han was not disappointed when she heard that. After all, her first drama had not been aired yet. Whether it was her acting skills or her ability to lead dramas, they had not been tested by the market. Hence, usually, a better production team would not want to hire a new actress like her.
“When will ‘The Splendor of the Republic of China’ air?” she asked He Meng..
