“What’s Zhao Ying doing? Isn’t it time for the guests to rest now? Why is Xia Wei’s live-stream still on? Is he going to let Xia Wei sleep with the live-stream on? This is too outrageous!”

Jian Tan’s handsome face darkened as he thought about this matter. The next second, he called Zhao Ying, completely disregarding Chen Yuan, who was beside him.

Jian Tan was assigned to the same room as Chen Yuan when the show started recording this morning. However, they did not interact much. Jian Tan did not talk to people he was not familiar with, so the two of them were exceptionally silent and cold when they stayed in the same room!

Fortunately, Chen Yuan was not in the mood to talk at this moment. This was because Chen Yuan did not receive Xin Xin’s message during the last segment—sending a message to the person they liked—arranged by the production team. He was a little dissatisfied and depressed. At this moment, he was ‘confronting’ Xin Xin.

Naturally, Xin Xin coaxed him nicely. She said that Jian Tan had always been her favorite actor. The reason why she sent the message to Jian Tan and not Chen Yuan was naturally out of her heart and sincerity. Chen Yuan should not “blame” her for this matter!

In any case, it was just enough to whet Chen Yuan’s appetite and tickle his heart for her. He kept thinking about her.

Needless to say, Xin Xin’s methods of seducing men were brilliant. All the good men in the original book were taken down by her in the end. Of course, this included Jian Tan, who was high up in the air but extremely unstable.

As for Chen Yuan, the “male lead” in the original book, he was naturally Xin Xin’s main target. She only needed to put in a little effort to control Chen Yuan.

Looking at Xin Xin’s gentle words on his cell phone, Chen Yuan’s depressed mood finally improved a lot. He seemed to have just noticed Jian Tan’s actions. He looked up at Jian Tan in confusion and asked gently, “Who were you talking to just now, Mr. Jian? Are you in a bad mood?”

When Jian Tan heard this, he hung up the call and replied calmly, “Nothing. I just want to talk to Director Zhao about something.”

As he spoke slowly, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something. When he turned to look at Chen Yuan again, his deep eyes were already filled with confusion. He asked Chen Yuan, “Isn’t Xia Wei also an artist under Starlight Entertainment? Is the contract she signed with the production team different from yours?”

Although he did not know why Jian Tan suddenly asked about Xia Wei’s contract, Chen Yuan’s sharp business sense immediately sensed that something was wrong.

He slowly sat up straight and raised his eyebrows. He pretended to be puzzled and asked, “Mr. Jian, why do you ask? Did something happen?”

Jian Tan looked at Chen Yuan in silence. After a long while, he suddenly chuckled and said, “Doesn’t Xia Wei have a corresponding time limit for her solo live-stream when recording this show? Does she even have to broadcast it when she’s sleeping? Is your company so ‘inventive’ when dealing with the different artists under it? As far as 1 know, Xin Xin doesn’t seem to have such tough conditions, right? Mr. Chen really thinks highly of Xia Wei!”

Chen Yuan naturally understood what Jian Tan meant. He just did not understand why this famous Best Actor, the crown prince of China’s Emperor Entertainment, would suddenly stand up for a C-list female artiste who had nothing to do with him. What was Jian Tan trying to do?

As the President of the famous Starlight Entertainment in City A, Chen Yuan still had some confidence in front of Jian Tan. However, in terms of the company’s foundation and strength, Chen Yuan’s Starlight naturally could not compete with Emperor Entertainment. Chen Yuan knew this very well.

If Jian Tan was just a celebrity in the entertainment industry with the title of Best Actor and not the crown prince of Emperor Entertainment, Chen Yuan would naturally disdain to feign civility with him.

In the eyes of Chen Yuan and Mr. Chen, these celebrities who lived in the incomparably glamorous entertainment industry were just “commodities” that needed their valuation. They were not worthy of his respect and admiration from the bottom of his heart.. Even if they were the popular Best Actors and Best Actresses, such high-level capable celebrities were only “commodities” with more commercial value!
