Chapter 143 - Emotions

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Xin somewhat understood now what Yang Li meant by keeping a low profile.

Based on the fanfare surrounding the original crew members of Yi Yao, no matter how well the TV series based on Yi Yao was, it would definitely draw comparison. Although Ye Xin was confident in her acting skills, she had a feeling the result of the comparison would not be in her favor. Moreover, the audience was unpredictable. If there were even the slightest flaw with the TV series, Yi Yao the film would further cement its status as a classic while the TV series would be deemed a knockoff. Her palms grew sweatier and sweatier as she thought about this.

At this moment, it was finally Yang Li’s turn to speak.

“Ten years ago, I just graduated from university and was an intern during the filming of Yi Yao. My teacher, Du Yue, was the one who brought me on set. She taught the ins and outs of the industry and many skills that are important…” She paused briefly as she bowed at Du Yue and said, “Thank you, teacher!”

Du Yue smiled and grabbed Yang Li’s hand. “You’re a famous manager now, and you’re very capable…”

At this moment, the female host said, “That’s right! Miss Yang, I heard you’re now the manager of Little Ning Xia. Otherwise known as Ye Xin. Miss Ye Xin just wrapped up filming for the TV series based on Yi Yao. As it happens, you’re involved in both productions of Yi Yao. Why don’t you tell us the difference between the two productions? How’s Little Ning Xia’s performance? Does she have the same skill and elegance as Ning Xia back then?”

Everyone was staring expectantly at Yang Li at this moment, waiting for her answer.

Meanwhile, Ye Xin’s tightly clenched hands grew sweatier. She regretted allowing Yang Li to participate in the reunion at this moment. However, what could she do now that Yang Li was standing on stage?

Yang Li smiled at the host and spoke into the microphone. “The filming has just wrapped up so it hasn’t been broadcasted yet. Whether it’s good or not, I’ll leave it to the audience to judge. I won’t spoil it in advance. I’m only Miss Ye Xin’s manager so I have nothing to do with the production of the TV series. Moreover, I didn’t even have a chance to watch the end product so I’m not qualified to comment on it.”

Yang Li’s words were tactful and very appropriate. Nevertheless, it made the nervous Ye Xin angry. Initially, she had been nervous because she was worried Yang Li would say something inappropriate and make a joke out of her. However, she was furious now that Yang Li did not even say a single good word about her despite being her manager! Such a good opportunity to promote her was wasted by Yang Li! How could she not be furious?

With this, Ye Xin decided to change manager. A manager like Yang Li who could not even do her job properly was useless to her. To think she treated Yang Li so well.

At this moment, an up-and-coming starlet next to Ye Xin nudged her and said, “Yang Li’s famous for being skilled in all areas. You’re really lucky your company assigned you the best manager there is in the industry!” She could barely conceal her envy and jealousy when she spoke.

Ye Xin said bluntly, “It’s just rumors. In fact, she’s just alright. I don’t see anything outstanding about her. Just look at me, and you’ll be able to see the quality of her work…”

The little starlet said with a smile, “Sister Xin, your requirements are too high. Yang Li has fought for you so many times outside. If I were given such a manager, I’d put her on a pedestal and bow to her every day. I don’t even need her to do anything for me apart from coming up with ideas for me. I’ll even get an assistant for her.”

Ye Xing glanced at the up-and-coming starlet and sneered inwardly. ‘How inexperienced. No wonder she’s not particularly famous...’

At this time, a minor celebrity sitting on Ye Xin’s left could not help but chimed in when she overheard the conversation, “My manager admires Sister Yang Li a lot. She said if she were as capable as Sister Yang Li, I would be as famous as Sister Xin.”

The flames of fury in Ye Xin’s heart surged even higher upon hearing this. Was this what people thought of Yang Li? What had Yang Li done for her? Nothing! And yet, Yang Li was given so much credit!

In Ye Xin’s opinion, she had to rely on herself for everything. She was the one who created a scandal with Mu Chen; she was the one who thought of a way to resolve the crisis with the Mu family; she was the one who wrote the speech, and Yang Li only edited it. Why did so many people think Yang Li was so great? Could it be that people think she, Ye Xin, was only famous because of Yang Li? How could Yang Li take all the credit?

Ye Xin’s eyes burned with flames of fury as she watched Yang Li move to the back after her speech. Yang Li was her manager; Yang Li should have used this chance to get support from the crew of Yi Yao for her! How useless and disappointing!
