Huayu: We're asking you to act, and you're playing a superhuman?

At the end of February, Sugarman organized a meeting for artists within the company.

Aside from a few exceptions, most of the other signed artists were present.

Wearing a baseball cap, Naza smiled and looked around with a radiant smile, her mind completely elsewhere from this boring meeting. She kept grinning foolishly, as if she had thought of something happy.

Liu Shishi sat next to her, resting her chin on her hand, also finding the content quite boring, until Cai Yinong suddenly shouted...

"I want to tell you all that the company has high hopes for each of you. Don't always think about what's outside; the scenery outside isn't necessarily better!"

Cai Yinong, holding the microphone, began to gesticulate excitedly.

But everyone present knew who she was talking about.

Don't misunderstand, the protagonist Cai Yinong was referring to was not Wang Weili, who had already terminated his contract, but Lin Gengxin, who was absent from today's meeting!

Last year, Wang Weili terminated his contract with Sugarman without injury.

This situation, more or less, made other people within the Sugar Man organization have some reservations.

Jiang Jinfu preemptively expressed his loyalty, hoping to succeed Wang Weili and become the next top star of Sugar Man.

Lin Gengxin, on the other hand, saw through the artist structure of Sugarman much earlier and knew that if he continued to stay, the best-case scenario would be that he would become the next Yuan Hong.

He doesn't want to be like Yuan Hong; he wants to be like Wang Weili, to break out of his comfort zone and develop his own business.

Then, even more interestingly, Lin Gengxin got in touch with Wanda's film and television resources by chance.

Isn't this just like getting a pillow when you're sleepy?

Compared to Wanda, what is Sugar Man?

With the idea of ​​remarrying, Lin Gengxin began to probe Cai Yinong's intentions, both openly and secretly, starting from the end of last year, hoping to follow Wang Weili's path and terminate his contract with the company.

What was Cai Yinong's reaction?

"The company has invested a lot of resources to train someone, but some people are ungrateful and want to terminate their contract as soon as they become famous!"

Cai Yinong stood on the stage, her face trembling with excitement.

She was just tricked by Wang Weili. If anyone else wanted to terminate their contract early, they would have to be skinned alive before they could let them go!

Naza and Liu Shishi simultaneously thought of someone from her words, and then looked at each other in tacit understanding.

Their eyes met, and Liu Shishi felt awkward and uncomfortable, her guilty conscience mixed with a secret joy.

For the past two weeks, Naza has been staying at Wang Weili's house, experiencing various creative activities and gaining insights into the true meaning of life.

If she weren't going back to Beijing for school that afternoon, she wouldn't have come to hold this kind of ideological conference...

Liu Shishi looked awkwardly at Na Zha's increasingly charming face, feeling a sense of crisis. She felt that something she had been protecting for so long had been snatched away by someone without her noticing!

On stage, Cai Yinong's campaign to correct her traitorous thoughts continued, and she publicly stated that she would never let Lin Gengxin go, while Wang Weili was not mentioned at all.

Liu Shishi ignored Cai Yinong's rambling, and simply grabbed the prickly hand, asking:

"Naza, have you been in contact with Wang Weili lately?"

"Brother Willie went home for the Lunar New Year!"

"I saw his post on WeChat Moments... I was asking if you went to see him when you came to Shanghai?"

"I looked for it; we were together last night."

Naza spoke cautiously, feeling that he had made himself clear enough.

No matter how soft her voice was, Liu Shishi could hear it clearly enough.

"You two spent the night together?!"

Liu Shishi stared intently at Na Zha, thinking to herself, "You little brat, hurry up and explain yourself!"

Naza chuckled and whispered, "It's just that Huanrui held a cocktail party. Most of the attendees were people from the industry and TV stations. Brother Willie asked me if I wanted to go with him, hehe."

"Oh, this kind of cocktail party..."

Liu Shishi's tone was listless, a strange sense of relief mixed with a self-deceiving feeling of escapism.

Especially the confident look in his brows, as if victory was already in his grasp.

But what can be done? It's just that I can't work with Wang Weili on a film.

A shadow fell over Liu Shishi's forehead as she pondered a way to break the deadlock.

Suddenly, she remembered the unfinished business she had left on her last visit to the set of "Swords of Legends"...

After completing the internal "ideological correction" work, Cai Yinong looked at everyone with a hint of suspicion, being most suspicious of Nazha and most at ease with Liu Shishi.

So when the meeting ended, she called Liu Shishi to her office alone.

As soon as the door closed, Cai Yinong wanted to kowtow to Liu Shishi.

"Shishi, now that Brother Hu has gone off to act in plays, the company can only rely on you!"

"Um?"

Liu Shishi was thinking about how to catch up with Wang Weili and didn't listen to what Cai Yinong had just said.

Cai Yinong mistakenly thought she was dissatisfied: "You have to understand me about what happened with President Liu last year. 'Ballad of the Desert' is still stuck in censorship..."

"You want me to go drinking with you again?"

Liu Shishi glanced sideways at Cai Yinong, her tone clearly becoming unfriendly.

Cai Yinong quickly denied it: "No, don't misunderstand, that's not what I meant!"

"So what are you referring to?"

"I will continue to try to get 'Ballad of the Desert' approved. The important thing is 'Scarlet Heart 2' next month, which is the company's most important project this year."

"Okay, I understand."

Liu Shishi responded indifferently, seemingly uninterested.

Cai Yinong was secretly puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "Are you and Wu Qilong doing well?"

"What do I have to do with him!"

Liu Shishi looked at Cai Yinong with a puzzled expression, her surprise seemingly genuine.

Seeing that her top star hadn't been kidnapped, Cai Yinong finally felt relieved.

"No, no, it's just that since you're both starring in the sequel, reporters and paparazzi will be covering it, so I'm just letting you know in advance."

"No!"

"What do you mean, 'no'?"

"I can't let the paparazzi write nonsense. I'll have my company issue a statement saying I have a boyfriend!"

Liu Shishi's eyes narrowed, and she decided to get on the train first and buy the ticket later.

Cai Yinong couldn't help but jump up and down: "Who is it? Who did you talk to? Is it someone in the entertainment industry?"

"Never mind that!"

Liu Shishi didn't want to explain; she just wanted to know how Wang Weili would react.

"I……"

Cai Yinong: If I don't take care of this, your money tree will run away!

"Shishi, I'm doing this for your own good. Most of the men in this circle are scumbags who will eat you alive. Don't be fooled."

"He lied to me, and I'm willing to accept it!"

Liu Shishi raised her chin, striking a pose as if nothing could buy her happiness.

Hearing her love-obsessed statement, Cai Yinong was anxious, but on the surface, she still had to try to coax Liu Shishi indirectly.

"Shishi, if you're both serious about this relationship, then tell me who the guy is, and I'll sign him up and train him properly..."

"Oh."

Liu Shishi covered her mouth with her hand, afraid that she would laugh too loudly.

Cai Yinong was puzzled by her reaction, thinking to herself, "I didn't say anything strange just now."

Thinking of Cai Yinong's impassioned speech on stage, Liu Shishi felt it was both ridiculous and laughable to try to apply her words to the situation, but she couldn't share it with anyone.

No, there's one more person to share with!

"Sister K, please don't worry about my affairs."

Liu Shishi got up from the sofa, making a move to leave: "Since 'Scarlet Heart 2' is about to start filming, I'll take a break for the next few days. Don't assign me any work yet."

"Where are you going to rest?"

"Didn't I tell you? I've found someone to date, so of course I'll go see him when I'm off work."

"Don't be fooled..."

Cai Yinong raised her hand from behind, wanting to say something to persuade or dissuade her.

Liu Shishi waved her hand without turning her head, walked out of the office with firm steps, and then took out her phone to send a WeChat message to Wang Weili.

"Where's your new home? I'm coming to find you!"
