Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Zong Pei’s manager finished speaking, she quietly waited for Lu Shiyuan’s next instructions.

She waited for a while, but Lu Shiyuan did not speak again. Instead, he looked like he was lost in thought.

“President Lu, are there any changes to Zong Pei’s arrangements?” she asked tentatively.

Lu Shiyuan said, “Since Zong Pei’s popularity is on the rise, let him guide the newbies.”

The manager did not agree with Lu Shiyuan’s arrangement.

If Zong Pei had to guide newcomers right after he was on the rise, he would lose his popularity.

However, judging from Lu Shiyuan’s tone, it was obvious that he had made up his mind. Naturally, she did not dare to question his decision.

“President Lu, may I ask whom would you like Zong Pei to guide?”

“Xia Jinmeng. ”

The manager thought that it turned out to be Tang Qidai ver. 2.0.

When Tang Qidai was around, everyone knew how much support Lu Shiyuan gave to her.

Now, Tang Qidai ver. 2.0 showed up. How unlucky.

The manager complained inwardly, but she did not show it on the surface.

“Alright, we will fully cooperate with her when the time comes.”

“Go do your work.” Lu Shiyuan was very satisfied with the manager’s attitude.

Before Lin Shanchu joined the filmset of “Top Feast” again, she freed up a day to do the cover shoot.

Huo Chaosheng, sitting in a wheelchair, was taken to the studio by Huo Xunzhou, who was also sitting in a wheelchair.

Just like before, Lin Shanchu was polite yet distant as she greeted him,

“President Huo.”

Huo Xunzhou looked at her carefully for a moment before responding in a low voice.

Then, he turned to Huo Chaosheng with an indifferent look on his face and reminded, “You have to be careful with the injury on your leg. I’ll come and see you after I’m done.”

“Alright, I’ll be careful.” Huo Chaosheng nodded vigorously, as obedient as a primary school student.

As soon as Huo Xunzhou left, Huo Chaosheng boasted to Lin Shanchu, “Third

Brother cares about me so much, doesn’t he?”

Lin Shanchu no longer wanted to discuss this issue with him.

Therefore, she remained silent.

Huo Chaosheng asked, “You’re actually jealous of me, aren’t you?”

“I am a little jealous,” Lin Shanchu replied frankly.

If only she had an elder brother like Huo Xunzhou, she would not have ended up like this.

“Don’t worry,” Huo Chaosheng comforted her. “When my injury is healed, I will continue to help you kill Lu Shiyuan.”

Lin Shanchu replied, “Thank you.”

“It’s not a big deal.” Huo Chaosheng changed the topic and asked, “When are you going to cook me another beef offal soup?”

It turned out that he would help her kill someone just for the soup.

The voice of a staff member came from the other end. “Teacher Huo, Teacher

Lin, please get ready. It’s going to start soon.”

“I’m going to touch up my makeup.” Lin Shanchu took advantage of the situation and left.

Huo Chaosheng, who used to be a member of a top boy band, was very capable in business.

He had done countless cover shoots, so he was very experienced and could even guide Lin Shanchu.

In addition, he was very cooperative. Hence, the filming went smoothly and ended earlier than expected.

After the shoot ended, the magazine company arranged a dinner party.

Lin Shanchu was going to enter the film set the next day and there were no any other activities at night, so Qi Cheng told her to agree to the dinner party.

When Huo Chaosheng heard that Lin Shanchu was going to the dinner party, he wanted to follow her.

“Isn’t your Third Brother coming?” Lin Shanchu reminded him coldly, “Aren’t you going to keep your distance from me?”

Speak of the devil.

As soon as Lin Shanchu finished speaking, Huo Xunzhou appeared at the door.

The sensible employees of the magazine company sensible call their boss over after learning that Huo Xunzhou would come to the venue.

The boss personally went up to Huo Xunzhou and asked, “We finished work early today. We are going to hold a dinner party. President Huo, I wonder if you are free tonight.”

Huo Xunzhou did not answer immediately. Instead, he turned to Huo Chaosheng. “Chaosheng, are you free tonight?”

“Yes,” Huo Chaosheng replied immediately.

Huo Xunzhou then turned to look at the boss. “We will join you then.”

“Thank you for the honor, President Huo.” The boss smiled with his eyes closed.

He could brag about it for years if he could invite Huo Xunzhou to a dinner party.

When they left, Huo Chaosheng did not forget to give Lin Shanchu a proud look.

Lin Shanchu was speechless.

The people in the industry had fixed places for dinner.

The boss wanted to make a reservation at Yong Shui Pavilion because he managed to invite Huo Xunzhou.

Unfortunately, he failed to make a reservation, so he had to choose another restaurant.

When they entered the restaurant, the boss said apologetically, “Originally, I wanted to make a reservation at Yong Shui Pavilion… President Huo, please make do with it.”

“It’s alright, President Hu,” Huo Xunzhou said casually.

Lin Shanchu was walking at the back with He Xiang when she heard someone calling her.

“Lin Shanchu.”

He Xiang also heard the voice. After looking around, she pointed in a certain direction and said to Lin Shanchu, “Sister Lin, it’s the director of ‘My Stage’.”

Song Yiming ran over when he saw Lin Shanchu looking at him. “Are you here for dinner too?”

“I did a shoot for a magazine today. The boss is holding a dinner party.”

Song Yiming looked forward and saw Huo Xunzhou. Then, he quickly greeted him, “President Huo.’

Huo Xunzhou nodded at him and followed the boss into the private room. Song Yiming pointed at his table. “I brought my family over for dinner today.”

“That’s good.” Lin Shanchu smiled.

“Can you not leave right after dinner?” Song Yiming looked a little embarrassed.

Lin Shanchu raised her eyebrows slightly. “Alright, just say what you want to say. You didn’t beat around the bush when you framed me in the program team. ”

The director smiled awkwardly. “My niece is your fan. She wants to take a photo with you and ask for an autograph.”

“It’s not a big deal. I can go over now.” She thought that it was some serious matter.

Lin Shanchu walked over after saying those words.

Song Yiming’s niece blushed and covered her mouth while screaming excitedly,

“Ah! Sister Rabbit!”

After taking the photo and signing the autograph, her niece was still very excited. “The appearance of the female lead in my novel is based on you. You’re so beautiful. I like you so much.”

“You write novels?” Lin Shanchu asked curiously. “What kind of novel do you write?”

Embarrassed, the niece said, “It’s just… some angst love story.”

The smile on Lin Shanchu’s face gradually froze.

What kind of fate did she have?

Someone used her as a prototype for their novel, but it turned out even she was also a female lead of an angst novel.

However, she quickly composed herself. “Is it the kind of novel where the male lead keeps hurting the female lead but she is always devoted to him?” “More or less. I’ll clear the male lead’s name at a later stage.”

“Is that so? But the male lead keeps hurting the female lead. Can the female lead still love him?”

Seeing Lin Shanchu’s interested expression, the niece started chatting with her seriously.

“This is where the conflict lies. Stirring up a conflict and mobilizing the emotions of the readers…

“Of course, the most important point of an angst novel is that the male lead must be physically and mentally clean. Only the female lead will have a place in his heart. ”

Lin Shanchu thought of Lu Shiyuan and asked, “Why did you set the male lead like this?”
