"What kind of rival is Lu Wenxing?"

"He looks good, and we have no advantage to stand with him."

Cheng Yuan gave a ‘tsk’.

"What is there to worry about for a beautiful trash, today is a variety show guest, not a draft."

"Just in case..."

Cheng Yuan interrupted him.

"Last week Sister Man asked Lu Wenxing to accompany Director Jiang. Lu Wenxing was unwilling to smash Director Jiang's head. You said Sister Man could easily forgive him?"

The little star's eyes lit up suddenly, "That's true, how would Sister Man punish him?"

"Lu Wenxing's magazine endorsements have been taken away, maybe even today's variety show interview will not participate."

"Really?"

If this is the case, it would be a pleasant surprise. The smile on the corner of the little star's mouth rose slightly, followed by a mockery.

"They are all small eighteen lines. Lu Wenxing can't find the casting director. Is it possible that he still wants to accompany the chief director?"

"The casting director has limited rights, so he will choose a small supporting role. Wenxing Lu considers himself so high-minded, he might really look down on him, maybe he already..."

-Boom.

The door was pushed open vigorously, making a loud noise.

When he saw Lu Wenxing standing at the door, the little star turned pale and hung his head quickly, afraid to look at Lu Wenxing's expression.

Unlike the little star's panic, Cheng Yuan has always been at odds with Lu Wenxing. He is not afraid that Lu Wenxing will hear him, so he went on to say just now.

"...The gold master has been found."

Cheng Yuan's gaze fell on Lu Wenxing's sneakers, his voice contemptuous, "These shoes are 10,000 yuan smaller."

Lu Wenxing didn't even give him a look, and went straight to the empty seat, pulling a chair away and sitting on the opposite side of the two.

He leaned back in the chair leisurely, stretched his long legs forward, slouching.

Just when Cheng Yuan thought Lu Wenxing would not be able to talk to him, Lu Wenxing spoke.

"Disappointed?"

Without beginning and ending, Cheng Yuan felt confused and almost blurted out, "What?"

"You are not allowed to accompany Jiang Zhengqin, you are sorry." Lu Wenxing raised his eyes and looked at Cheng Yuan.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Cheng Yuan retorted too quickly, squatting, "Who, who would regret that kind of thing."

"Oh?" Lu Wenxing replied casually, "I thought you wanted to go."

"Lu Wenxing." Cheng Yuan stood up abruptly while propping up the table.

"What makes me want to go, when do I want to..."

"What's the noise?" Agent Wang Man stepped in on high heels.

"I heard you yelling in the hallway. Is the company where you quarrel?"

"Sister Man." Cheng Yuan turned off the flame instantly and stood quietly aside.

The little star also stood up hurriedly and cautiously yelled ‘Sister Man’.

Wang Man ignored Cheng Yuan and said to the two artists behind him: "You two find your own seats."

"good."

The two artists were more cautious and agreed quickly, but Wang Man didn't sit, and they didn't dare to sit.

Cheng Yuan and Little Star stood there silently, only Lu Wenxing leaned back on the chair without any burden.

Wang Man's gaze fell, and she glanced at Lu Wenxing, who had the word ‘rebellious’ written all over her body. She frowned when she thought of the beatings last week.

"Lu Wenxing, what do you look like now?"

Lu Wenxing followed Wang Man's words and looked at himself up and down, "I think it's good."

Today he is wearing a white hooded sweater, a jacket, a pair of ripped jeans, and new sneakers on his feet. This is a birthday gift from his adoptive mother.

Wang Man's face turned dark, and he patted the documents in his hand on the table.

"Break Director Jiang's head, which is pretty good? Why didn't you beat me together?"

"If Sister Man intends to unspoken rules for me," Lu Wenxing replied calmly.

Wang Man stared at Lu Wenxing with big eyes with cosmetic contact lenses, and scolded angrily.

"Lu Wenxing, because of your impulse, the artists of Mang Orange Entertainment missed the opportunity to cast roles in the TV series. Can you afford the loss alone?"

The leadership of Mangcheng Entertainment invited Jiang Zhengqin to dinner last week, and a consensus has been reached in private. Jiang Zhengqin will give priority to selecting suitable small supporting roles or special actors from Mang Orange Entertainment.

But Lu Wenxing didn't know much about it, so he saved Jiang Zhengqin's face in public and beat him up. This caused Jiang Zhengqin to move to Mang Orange Entertainment, and all his artists were removed from the casting list.

Wang Man has been scolded by the leader for two days for this matter, and now he gets angry when he sees Lu Wenxing.

Among the few people present, except Cheng Yuan's mentality of watching the show, everyone else wanted to hide, for fear that they would be affected by Wang Man's anger.

Lu Wenxing, who was in the center of his anger, was nothing but Wang Man's heart attack.

"If you are smarter, go and apologize to Director Jiang and invite him to dinner. I will not give you any resources until he forgive you."

Wang Man didn't give up on Lu Wenxing's irritation. She stared at Lu Wenxing and slowed down her voice with a mocking tone.

"Wen Yu joined the company about the same time as you. Now he has appeared in two web dramas and has received a lot of endorsements. There will be variety shows, movies and more resources to find him. And you? Even the big screen. I haven't been, the mud can't support the wall."

Worrying that other people would follow suit, Wang Man slapped Lu Wenxing harshly and warned other artists at the same time.

"You are obedient, and I will give you another chance. Otherwise, I will get out of the entertainment circle as soon as possible. I have no time to spend with you."

"Yes, Sister Man's time is precious." Lu Wenxing echoed,

A triumphant smile appeared at the corner of Wang Man's mouth. She raised her chin arrogantly, waiting for Lu Wenxing to admit her mistake.

However-

Lu Wenxing's voice changed, and Wang Man's smile froze on his face.

"That's right, let's cancel the contract."

The conference room suddenly fell into silence, and several artists looked at each other. Lu Wenxing is crazy, dare to challenge Wang Man like that.

Wang Man laughed directly.

"Want to terminate the contract, right? Okay. Ten million in liquidated damages, you can leave after paying."

Wang Man's eyes fell on Lu Wenxing's sneakers, and he sneered.

"Your sponsor is willing to spend 10,000 yuan to buy you sneakers, but it doesn't mean that he is willing to spend 10 million yuan in penalty."

Lu Wenxing didn't explain, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and under Wang Man's gaze, clicked on the recording to play.

A clear female voice followed, and the flattery could be heard through the phone.

"Director Jiang, if you can see Lu Wenxing, it's his luck. If you don't see it, Mangcheng Entertainment has other artists."

The owner of the voice is Wang Man, followed by Jiang Zhengqin's vigorous voice.

"Lu Wenxing is a good seedling in the entertainment industry. I like hard-working and motivated people. Let's do this. You let him at night..."

Those ambiguous words that followed were interrupted by Lu Wenxing's pause button. As soon as Wang Man changed his arrogance, his face changed again.

"Lu Wenxing, you can discuss anything if you don't want to. It's the same for me to find another artist on Director Jiang."

Lu Wenxing was too calm, Wang Man worried that he had other recordings in his hand, suppressing the anger in his heart, and in turn appeased Lu Wenxing.

"KM's endorsement can be returned to you."

Also?

Lu Wenxing sneered in his heart.

Wang Man took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"You should know that Actor Gu will come to select variety show guests this afternoon. You have an advantage in appearance and you have a high chance of being selected."

Lu Wenxing kept silent, and Wang Man gritted his teeth and continued, "No matter how much you think about it, it is really not a wise choice to terminate the contract."

"No need."

Lu Wenxing didn't want to show Wang Man's face, so he stood up and left the meeting room.

Wang Man has a deep mind. It is not the first time he speaks the vernacular without words. He just wants to trick Lu Wenxing into deleting the recording.

Lu Wenxing is not fooled, whether it is the endorsement of KM or the guest of the show selected by the film emperor Gu, it will only be Wen Yu.

because-

The world he lives in is the world of a novel called "Popular Top Stream".

Wen Yu is the protagonist of this novel, and the actor Gu Yanshen is the protagonist.

As for Lu Wenxing, he is a cannon fodder supporting the protagonist.

In the original book, the protagonist is concealed from the wealthy status, relying on his own efforts to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry.

Since entering the entertainment industry, Wang Man has followed the protagonist all the time and is more thoughtful than a life assistant. Just to please the protagonist, because she had known that the protagonist was from a wealthy family.

The protagonist Shou entered into the public eye through the endorsement of KM magazine, and because of participating in the same variety show as the protagonist, his popularity has doubled more than ten times, and he has become a popular idol from the 18th-line star.

Lu Wen Xing Ji hated the protagonist for taking his own resources to become popular, he was jealous, framed the protagonist several times, angered the protagonist's fan group.

Fans teamed up to expose Lu Wenxing's crimes, and sending Lu Wenxing to Hot Search was accused and abused by a large number of netizens.

Lu Wenxing's adoptive father lost his job, and her adoptive mother was threatened by extreme fans by sending animal carcasses, which caused a heart attack and died.

Even Xie Chengfei, his younger brother in high school, committed suicide by jumping off the building due to campus violence and unbearable pressure from rumors.

Cannon fodder Lu Wenxing encountered a mentally ill who had fled, was hit by the opponent's car and became disabled, and was accompanied by a wheelchair for life.

If Lu Wenxing himself was the only one in the miserable situation in the dream, he would not care at all.

But the scene in the dream was confirmed several times, and Lu Wenxing couldn't help being cautious.

Although he doesn't know who his biological parents are, his adoptive parents are kind to him. Lu Wenxing, who has lost his family once, cherishes the hard-won family affection, and he does not want his family to get into trouble.

Wenxing Lu himself does not do the stupid things in the book, but in case the world of this book induces a compulsory plot, he may not be able to control his behavior.

After careful consideration, Lu Wenxing decided to terminate the contract.

Regardless of whether the plot will be forced to happen, what can be done right now is to stay away from the entertainment industry and away from the protagonist.

Of course, it is impossible to terminate the contract with the recording alone. It is not only the private pimping business of Mang Orange Entertainment, but also other film and television companies.

Even if Lu Wenxing passes the recording to the entertainment media, it may involve too much, and the entertainment media may not dare to explode.

He needs a more favorable bargaining chip.

-Ding Dong.

The WeChat prompt interrupted Lu Wenxing's thinking, and the voice message was Lu Wenxing's university roommate.

"Star Cub, you Mang Orange Entertainment is so awesome right now. I heard that a director went to your cast a few days ago, and today there is also an actress Gu to choose a variety show guest."

Before Wenxing had time to reply, his roommate made another voice, slightly excited.

"That's recording a variety show with the actor. You said you look so good-looking. If Gu Yanshen is a face-controller? Is it possible to choose you right?"

no way.

Lu Wenxing, holding the plot, broke the roommate's illusion and walked towards the bathroom.

"Don't be so naive, where does the actor come to choose the guests? People come to choose the concubine..."

After he finished speaking the last word, he raised his eyes and ran into Gu·Xuanfei·Yan Shen who was washing his hands.

The two looked at each other through the mirror, and the air temporarily stagnated.

Lu Wenxing put the phone in his pocket without embarrassment.

It was less than half past two. He remembered that Wang Man had notified the interview time in the group to be three o'clock, Gu Yanshen came too early.

Of course, this is not what Lu Wenxing should consider, as if nothing happened, he put on a business smile.

"Hello, Teacher Gu, you came really early."

Gu Yanshen took out two paper towels and slowly wiped the drops of water on his hands, leaving Lu Wenxing a cold side face.

But Lu Wenxing has no time to appreciate it, he is not sure if Gu Yanshen heard what he said.

After a few seconds, Lu Wenxing felt that he should be more diligent, such as going to the bathroom downstairs.

"Sorry, I went wrong."

After Lu Wenxing turned around to leave, Gu Yan's cold voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Why, do you still want to enter the women's toilet?"

Lu Wenxing: "..."
