As soon as she finished speaking, a trace of loneliness flashed across Jian Yiyi’s face. Wang Mingxiao caught this scene and his heart instinctively tightened.
Jian Yiyi continued, “Actually, I don’t have many friends in school. I was studying abroad before and only came back to Baiyun City this year. I transferred to Erzhong.”
Wang Mingxiao nodded, and his heart ached for Jian Yiyi even more. He couldn’t help but comfort her. “Perhaps you’re too outstanding, making people feel distant. Actually, I was like this to you in the beginning. I didn’t dare to approach you.”
“Alright, Mingxiao, you don’t have to comfort me like this. I’m not as outstanding as you think.” Jian Yiyi knew how to grasp the rhythm of the conversation. She was exceptionally modest about the praise Wang Mingxiao gave her.
This was also one reason she attracted Wang Mingxiao. Wang Mingxiao immediately nodded and admitted, “I’m not comforting you. I really think you’re outstanding and perfect. Yiyi, you’ll be famous in the future. Really!”
Jian Yiyi smiled gratefully. “Mingxiao, you will too. All the best!”
“All the best!” Wang Mingxiao’s eyes were bright with youthful passion. The Jian Yiyi in his eyes was sparkling and beautiful.
“Mingxiao, I don’t know if I should tell you something.” At this moment, Jian Yiyi suddenly looked at Wang Mingxiao with a difficult expression.
When Wang Mingxiao heard this, he subconsciously said, “Tell me. You can tell me anything.”
Jian Yiyi pursed her lips and said carefully, “I’ll say this first. You can’t be angry. This might just be my opinion and feeling.”
Wang Mingxiao nodded and looked at Jian Yiyi seriously.
Jian Yiyi frowned and thought for a moment before saying slowly, “I think you might need to change a manager!”
Without waiting for Wang Mingxiao to speak, Jian Yiyi quickly said, “I don’t mean that Uncle Yu doesn’t mean well. I just think with his personality, he might cause you a lot of unnecessary trouble in the future. Of course, he’s a good person, but he’s not suitable to be your manager. Do you know what I mean?”
Jian Yiyi was telling the truth. The core content was also very pertinent. Over the past few days, Wang Mingxiao’s uncle, Yu Xiaofeng, could be said to be the most annoying person in the entire production team. Those who didn’t know would think that Wang Mingxiao was the male lead. In short, he was very ostentatious.
Wang Mingxiao had told Yu Xiaofeng about this many times, but Yu Xiaofeng’s personality was like this. He had not seen much of the world and felt that his nephew was awesome after becoming a celebrity. The arrogance that came from his bones could not be changed just like that!
Therefore, Wang Mingxiao also had a headache because of this. He couldn’t help but sigh helplessly. “I understand what you mean, Yiyi. I’ve also said it a few times to him to keep a low profile because I’ve suffered in this aspect because of him before.”
“Didn’t I tell you I almost signed with Rose Entertainment? Just because he offended the boss of Rose Entertainment, the management contract with Rose Entertainment, which had already been negotiated, got ruined. Otherwise, I would have been an artist from the same company as you now!”
The boss Wang Mingxiao was talking about was Jian Ai. At that time, the two sides collided at the corner of the company, and a cup of coffee was spilled on Wang Mingxiao. Jian Ai initially wanted to apologize, but Yu Xiaofeng started shouting first.
The final result was obvious.
However, Wang Mingxiao had his difficulties. “My parents passed away early. Uncle and Aunt raised me since I was young. The kindness of raising me is greater than the heavens, so there are many things I can’t say. My uncle might be a little mean and arrogant to others, but he’s quite good to me.”
As he spoke, Wang Mingxiao couldn’t help but sigh deeply. He looked at Jian Yiyi and smiled bitterly. “I just want to earn more money so that I can be filial to Uncle and Aunt in the future. I don’t have any dream of becoming a famous celebrity.”
“These two things don’t conflict, Mingxiao.” Jian Yiyi said, “You have a company and resources now, so you can definitely earn money. You can give the money you earn to Uncle Yu to repay his kindness in raising you. But you can also persuade him not to be your manager anymore because Uncle Yu’s personality offends others too easily!”
“Mingxiao, the entertainment circle is very chaotic. The way the staff around you do things will be magnified and returned to you in the end. If you accidentally offend someone powerful, won’t it be easy to ban you with just a word?”
“It’s true. Don’t think I’m exaggerating. Ask your company’s senior artists and you’ll know if I’m telling the truth.”
Wang Mingxiao knew that Jian Yiyi was telling the truth. He enjoyed Jian Yiyi’s sincere concern for him. As for Jian Yiyi’s question, he had thought about it seriously.
“After we finish filming this movie, I’ll talk to him,” Wang Mingxiao said.
…
Jian Ai and the rest stayed at the mercenary group’s headquarters for a few days, but they did not receive any news from the other party.
However, Hans was very sure that the other party would come, so Jian Ai was not in a hurry.
Over the past few days, Jian Ai and the rest were treated warmly by Hans and the entire mercenary group like real guests. Jian Ai also took the opportunity to tour the mercenary group’s headquarters and even saw the mercenaries on the training ground.
At noon, the attendant beside Hans suddenly came to the villa where Jian Ai and the rest were resting to pass a message to them. The other party was here!
In the living room of the mountainside villa, Hans was receiving the other party’s anger.
The people who came this time were still Lao Liu and Xiao Qi. They were very dissatisfied with Hans’ refusal to answer the phone and were immediately angry.
“There has to be news about the commissioned mission, right? You didn’t answer the phone or give feedback to us. This is extremely unprofessional and irresponsible!” Lao Liu shouted as he glared at Hans.
Xiao Qi chimed in, “Master spends an enormous sum of money to sponsor you every year. Is this how you do things? At that time, you swore that there would be no mistakes. Now? You failed again!”
Lao Liu sneered. “I’ve never seen such useless killers like you. You can fail three times on a target! In my opinion, you probably won’t be able to get a single gold coin from the Master next year!”
The two of them talked non-stop, while Hans sat on the sofa as steady as a mountain and looked at the two of them expressionlessly.
Because Jian Ai had told Hans that if they came, he would stall them. Jian Ai naturally had a way to get information from the two of them.
