"Senior Wang Qing."
A hint of displeasure flashed across Wang Qing's face, but it quickly vanished. He stood up and embraced Fang Yanhuan, "It's good to see you." Kuaishu Ge
"Senior Man Tong, I'm your fan. I love the shows you've acted in. I think your performances are excellent," Fang Yanhuan said to Cui Mantong with sparkling eyes.
Cui Mantong elegantly and casually touched her earlobe, stood up, and shook Fang Yanhuan's hand. "Hello."
"Sister Miaomiao, long time no see," Fang Yanhuan said, clasping her hands together and smiling at Fang Miaomiao, "Mom and Dad miss you very much."
Fang Miaomiao indifferently raised her eyes to glance at her. After a long pause, she said, "Well, sorry, but those are your parents."
"Sister Miaomiao."
"Yanhuan, if I remember correctly, you and Miaomiao were born on the same day, same month, same year," Cui Mantong said softly from the side.
After Fang Miaomiao was hospitalized, she felt something was amiss. She then asked her husband to investigate, and he uncovered many interesting things.
This seemingly innocent "little white flower" was more formidable than anyone else.
"Sister Mantong, what do you mean by that?"
Shen Jiani, seeing the situation, quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "You probably don't know, but Yanhuan and Miaomiao have a sisterly connection. Maybe they call each other that in private."
[What does Cui Mantong mean? Why is she bullying our Huanhuan.]
[If Cui Mantong doesn't know how to speak, she should just shut up. How dare she bully our Huanhuan? She deserves to die.]
[Anyone who can hang out with Fang Miaomiao must be no good themselves. Let's take our Huanhuan away to avoid being bitten by dogs.]
[Hey, you guys upstairs, are you endless? If you like Fang Green Tea, go ahead and like her. Don't you dare involve our Tongtong.]
[Oh, who is it? It's Fang Green Tea. Why are you bothering our Tongtong instead of clinging to your brothers? Our Tongtong doesn't like green tea.]
If you were to ask which fandom was the strongest, the male fans belonged to Wen Lan and the female fans to Man Tong. The fans of both were exceptionally united and incredibly supportive of their own. If anyone dared to mock them, they would directly descend into the comments with sarcasm, then wave goodbye and leave without a trace.
With Cui Mantong's fans joining the fray, Fang Yanhuan's fans were quickly routed, utterly defeated within moments.
"Oh," Cui Mantong replied indifferently, then sat back down and picked up a knife to peel fruit.
However, the way she wielded the knife looked like she was about to peel someone.
Chen Tianming had no choice but to step in to mediate.
Help me, he was just temporarily hired for a variety show, why did he have to endure so much? Would his sparse, pathetic hair all fall out because of this show?
No, he decided. Later, he would ask his wife to buy him more Polygonum multiflorum and black sesame seeds.
After Chen Tianming's efforts, the atmosphere was finally less awkward.
"Now, let's give a warm welcome to our heartwarming big sister as she joins our travel family."
There were still sparse claps.
What was crucial was that everyone clapped, even Fang Miaomiao, who had a strained relationship with Fang Yanhuan.
Lunch ended with Chen Tianming in a state of nervous apprehension.
Just as he breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to nap at the filming location, someone approached.
What was this twitching sensation in his right eyelid?
He cautiously opened his eyes and saw Fang Miaomiao standing there, hands on her hips, looking at him with a half-smile.
He was so startled that he almost fell off his chair.
"Uh, Miaomiao, don't look at me like that," Chen Tianming sat up straighter, looking at Fang Miaomiao with a mix of embarrassment and inexplicable guilt.
He knew he had done many unethical things to Fang Miaomiao, but he couldn't help it. He was just an employee, how could he go against capital?
"So, it was the higher-ups who made you add Fang Yanhuan to the cast?"
Chen Tianming nodded, but when he met Fang Miaomiao's eyes, he quickly shook his head. "They just said to add someone, but they didn't say who."
On this point, he could swear to heaven. Who wouldn't want their show to run smoothly without so many complications? Wang Qing and Fang Miaomiao already didn't get along. If he brought in another person who didn't get along with them, would his show still be salvageable?
If it were, he might as well rename it "Stirring Up Waves on a Trip."
"I want to terminate the contract. How do I terminate it?"
It wasn't that she was a coward; she genuinely didn't want to deal with these people anymore. Except for Cui Mantong, almost everyone else in this show had some grievance with her. If that was the case, she'd rather terminate the contract and leave.
Staying here would shorten her lifespan.
"You want to terminate the contract?" Chen Tianming couldn't believe it and stared at Fang Miaomiao with wide eyes.
"Director, keep your voice down," Fang Miaomiao crudely dug at her ear, "You know very well that if I stay here, I'll eventually be stripped bare."
"Termination of contract is definitely not possible," Chen Tianming cautiously probed under Fang Miaomiao's murderous gaze, "This is a project being monitored from above, and it cannot be terminated."
"I'll pay the breach of contract fee."
"You have eighty million?"
Didn't Sister Li say Fang Miaomiao was so poor she had to split a penny in two?
"How much?" Upon hearing this figure, Fang Miaomiao couldn't help but raise her voice. "Director, are you robbing me?"
"You keep your voice down," Chen Tianming dug at his ear, imitating her. "The breach of contract fee is eighty million, not a penny less."
"How much do I get for recording one episode?"
Chen Tianming glanced at her. "One hundred thousand."
Fang Miaomiao was silent for a moment, then looked at Chen Tianming resentfully, pouting her lips. "What kind of unfair contract is this?"
"Can't be helped, the budget is tight."
Chen Tianming spread his hands, as if certain that Fang Miaomiao couldn't produce the eighty million, and said shamelessly, "Miaomiao, what's your decision?"
"Excessive."
Seeing Fang Miaomiao's red eyes, looking as if tears could fall at any moment, Chen Tianming awkwardly rubbed his head.
Alright, they had indeed acted quite immorally in this matter.
Whether it was the previous contract signing, the Wang Qing incident, or the current Fang Yanhuan situation.
Indeed, not only immoral but also heartless and wolf-like.
Thinking of this, Chen Tianming sighed helplessly. "We were wrong about this. How about we compensate you?"
"Eighty million?"
Chen Tianming glared at her. "Even if you sold me, you wouldn't get eighty million."
Fang Miaomiao lowered her head, her wronged expression strangely similar to their Huanhuan.
Chen Tianming said guiltily, "I have a drama. How about you play the lead female role?"
"Not interested."
"Really, the plot is excellent, and you'll definitely like it. That's my most prized script."
"I want to quit the industry."
"A doomsday film, the big villain, incredibly handsome. Pure female lead, you'll definitely like it," Chen Tianming tempted.
