The system replied: [Firstly, the person who will help him pay the liquidated damages should be the female protagonist and not you. Secondly, he should be the third male protagonist’s artiste and not yours. Isn’t this considered poaching?]
Xi Wan thought about it. She felt that what the system said sounded quite reasonable. “You’re right. In that case, I need to let Xie Yan shine as soon as possible so that he’ll be well-known before the plot.”
The system replied: [Did you not hear what I said just now?!]
Xi Wan made an appointment with Xie Yan to sign the contract at the company at ten o’clock in the morning the next day.
After signing the contract, Xi Wan got someone to bring Xie Yan to the dormitory. She planned to stay in the company for a while and wait for the sun to set before going back.
She turned on her cell phone game and played for a while. Someone knocked on the door and came in. “Miss Xi, there’s someone outside. He says he’S an old friend of yours and wants to meet you.”
Xi Wan did not know that she had an old friend and was rather curious. She said, “Let him in.”
Not long after, a person came in from outside the door.
It was Chen Shuo, Xi Wan’s former manager.
He walked in front of Xi Wan and realized that she was focused on her game with her head lowered. He called out, “Xi Wan.”
Xi Wan was stuck in her game and did not have the mood to pay attention to him. It was only when Chen Shuo called out a few more times that Xi Wan looked up at him. “It’s you. What’s the matter?”
“I’m fine. I just heard from Mr. Xiao that you also opened an entertainment company with the address located here so I wanted to see how you’ve been recently.” Chen Shuo spoke a little cautiously. He did not know where to place his hands.
“As you can see, I’m doing very well.” Xi Wan leaned back lazily in her chair. “I definitely don’t believe that you came all the way here just to see how I’m doing. Why don’t you just tell me why you’re looking for me?”
“Haha, I haven’t seen you for such a long time, but you still have a sharp tongue.” Chen Shuo smiled awkvvardly. “I’m actually here for Mike. Isn’t the dirt about you already cleared? This matter won’t affect you much then. Can you help me to plead for mercy from Mr. Xiao?”
“What are you asking for? I was the one who was spread rumors back then, not you.” Xi Wan said.
“Someone said that I sold my artistes for profit becuase of this and scolded me very badly. Mr. Xiao has already taken away all the artistes under me and I’m about to lose my job!” As Chen Shuo spoke, he actually started sobbing as he said, “At that time, I only wanted you to accompany me for a drink. I thought that you had no background or power, so I thought of using this method to help you get resources.”
The system replied: [Don’t believe him. He wanted you to sleep with him at the time but you simply left right away without giving a damn. 1–1e was angry about this for several days. In the end, he gave these resources to another female artiste.]
Xi Wan remained silent. Chen Shuo thought that her heart was already wavering, so he said, “Xi Wan, can you help me on account of how much I took care of you before?”
The system replied: [Bullshit! He betrayed you three times! in the original plot! Moreover, after you told the male protagonist about the matter where he wanted to sleep with you, the male protagonist realized that he only had sympathy for you, and he was in love with the female protagonist.]
Xi Wan: “Why can’t your plot be more normal? Must it be so ridiculous?”
Chen Shuo saw Xi Wan’s eyes suddenly turned dull and thought that she was recalling those unpleasant memories from the past. He quickly said, “The past is in the past. Don’t think about it anymore! As long as you can live your life well now, you’re stronger than anything!
Don’t think about it anymore!
Xi Wan said slowly, “You want me to intercede for you?”
“That’s right!” Chen Shuo’s eyes flashed with hope. “Just help me to plead with Mr. Xiao!”
Xi Wan asked, “Are you sure Mr. Xiao is dissatisfied with you?'”‘
“Of course…” Chen Shuo’s voice stopped abruptly.
What did Xi Wan mean? Could it be that there was someone else besides Xiao Zhe?
Chen Shuo suddenly remembered the post online. Xi Wan and Lu Zhou were close, and Lu Zhou was Lu Ting’S sister. Perhaps Xi Wan and Lu Ting were close too.
Could it be that Lu Ting was pressuring Xiao Zhe?
Although the Lu family was slightly inferior to the Xiao family in terms of their family background, he was not related to Xiao Zhe so there was indeed no need for Xiao Zhe to protect him.
“Why don’t you help me plead with Mr. Lu then?” Chen Shuo asked tentatively.
No matter who it was, he had to grab onto last hope and climb ashore first.
“Are you sure it’S Mr. Lu?” Xi Wan asked again..
