Yu Han turned around and walked into her lounge.

Hence, when Su Lan’s manager, Zhao Gang, walked out, he happened to see Yu Han walking into the lounge. His eyes widened for a moment, and his expression changed. Then, he saw He Meng still standing in the corridor and squeezed out a slightly exaggerated smile.

“Aiya, isn’t this Great Manager He? 1 haven’t seen you in a long time. How have you been recently? Aiya, why didn’t you tell me when you arrived? 1 didn’t even know you were here.”

He was hinting at why Yu Han, a junior, did not greet Su Lan, a senior, after coming.

He Meng pretended not to hear the sarcasm in his words and squeezed out a fake smile. “It’s indeed been a long time since we last met.” She pretended to think for a while. “The last time we met was four years ago, at the New Year’s Eve party at Lychee TV Station. 1 remember that you were still managing Wu Wei, right? 1 don’t even know when you switched to Teacher Su Lan.”

Hearing He Meng mention Wu Wei, Zhao Gang’s expression clearly changed.

He was indeed Wu Wei’s manager in the past, but two years ago, Wu Wei was arrested for taking drugs and disappeared from the entertainment industry.

At that time, Wu Wei’s career was at its peak. Zhao Gang had lost such a money tree, so it was obviously a huge blow to him.

After that, he signed a contract with Su Lan. However, Su Lan was obviously not as lucky as Wu Wei. Hence, two years after he managed her, Su Lan’s career was not as great as he had imagined. It had always been lukewarm.

Fortunately, Su Lan’s acting skills were indeed not bad, so she could get the second female lead role in “The Splendor of the Republic of China”.

Although “The Splendor of the Republic of China” had not been released yet, many people in the industry had already expected it to become popular from the production team, the actors, and the response of the internal test film.

This was also one of the reasons why the production team wanted to put this film in the summer season in advance.

Zhao Gang also had high hopes for this. This was because a popular drama would greatly improve the actors involved. Hence, he hoped to use this opportunity to increase Su Lan’s popularity as the second female lead.

However, at this moment, they noticed a situation. The production team attached great importance to Yu Han, a supporting role who did not have many scenes.

The entertainment industry was a very realistic place. Whoever was more popular would receive better treatment. Zhao Gang and Su Lan knew this very well, but it did not mean that they could accept it without any objections, especially since Yu Han was a newcomer and had so few scenes.

Hence, in the eyes of Su Lan and Zhao Gang, Yu Han’s specialness became a show of skill in the face of an opportunity to become popular.

It was also because of this thought that they became so sensitive to Yu Han’s matter. Changing the lounge was just one of the reasons why Su Lan and Zhao Gang acted up.

Zhao Gang had been in the industry for many years after all. He was not someone who could not fight back at all after being beaten up. Hence, when he heard He Meng mention Wu Wei, the anger in his heart was indeed provoked, but he quickly suppressed it.

He spread his hands and put on an indifferent expression. “1 have no choice. People have to move forward. Aren’t you the same, Great Manager He? You’ve changed two artists, so it’s normal for me to change to a new artist.”

It was rumored in the industry that He Meng had been quite unhappy when she terminated her contract with her previous two artists. Hence, Zhao Gang planned to return the favor and make things difficult for He Meng.

Unfortunately, after Yu Han’s counseling last night, the regret in He Meng’s heart had almost been resolved. Hence, when she heard Zhao Gang deliberately mention this, she was not too affected. Instead, she smiled and said, “You’re right. After all, we all want to improve. Fortunately, our Yu Han is quite hard working. Although she hasn’t debuted for long, she’s already able to work with an outstanding senior like Teacher Su Lan. This can be considered her blessing.”

She seemed to be praising Su Lan and Yu Han, but there was actually a hidden meaning behind her words. She was saying that Yu Han, a newbie, could be on equal footing with a senior like Su Lan who had debuted for many years in a short period of time. Hence, she was implying that Su Lan had debuted for so long but was not doing as well as a newbie like Yu Han.

Zhao Gang was not stupid. Of course, he could tell what He Meng was implying. This hit his sore spot. Su Lan had debuted for five to six years, but she was still lukewarm in popularity..
