"Senior Wang Qing."
A hint of displeasure flickered across Wang Qing's face, but it vanished quickly. He stood up and gave Fang Yanhuan a hug. "It's so good to see you." Kuaishuge
"Senior Man Tong, I'm your fan. I absolutely love your acting. I think you're fantastic!" Fang Yanhuan said, her eyes shining as she looked at Cui Mantong.
Cui Mantong elegantly and casually touched her earlobe, then 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 glanced at her indifferently, and after a long pause, said, "Uh, sorry, but those are your parents."
"Sister Miaomiao."
"Yanhuan, if I recall correctly, you and Miaomiao were born on the same day, month, and year," Cui Mantong said softly from the side.
After Fang Miaomiao was hospitalized, she had a feeling something was amiss. She then had her husband investigate, and he uncovered many interesting things.
This "little white flower" that everyone adored was far more cunning than anyone realized.
"Sister Mantong, what are you saying?"
Shen Jiani, seeing the situation, quickly stepped in to smooth things over. "You might not know this, but Yanhuan and Miaomiao have a sort of sisterly bond. Perhaps they address each other like this in private."
[What does Cui Mantong mean? Why is she bullying our Huanhuan?]
[If Cui Mantong can't speak, she should shut up. How dare she bully our Huanhuan? She deserves to die.]
[Anyone who can hang out with Fang Miaomiao must not be much themselves. Let's take our Huanhuan away before she gets bitten by a dog.]
[The people upstairs, are you done? If you like Fang Green Tea, go ahead and like her yourself. Don't you dare mess with our Tong Tong.]
[Oh, who is it? It's Fang Green Tea. Why aren't you clinging to your brother and coming to bother our Tong Tong? Our Tong Tong doesn't like green tea.]
If you had to ask which fandom was the strongest, it would be the boyfriend fandom for Wen Lan and the female fandom for Mantong. Both groups were exceptionally united and incredibly supportive of their own. If anyone dared to mock them, they would immediately retaliate with sarcastic comments, then wave goodbye and leave without a trace.
As Cui Mantong's fans entered the fray, Fang Yanhuan's fans were quickly routed, completely annihilated in a matter of moments.
"Oh," Cui Mantong replied dismissively. She then returned to her seat and began peeling fruit with a knife.
However, the way she held the knife made it look as if she were about to carve someone up.
Chen Tianming resigned himself to his fate and stepped in to mediate.
Help me, he was only temporarily filling in for this variety show, why did he have to endure so much? Would his sparse, pitiful hair all fall out because of this show?
No? He would have to ask his wife to buy him more Polygonum multiflorum and black sesame seeds later.
Thanks to Chen Tianming's efforts, the atmosphere was no longer as awkward as before.
"Now, let's give a round of applause to welcome our kindhearted big sister to our travel family."
The applause was still sparse.
The crucial point was that everyone clapped, even Fang Miaomiao, who was not on good terms with Fang Yanhuan.
Lunch ended with Chen Tianming in a state of constant anxiety.
As he breathed a sigh of relief, preparing to take a nap at the filming location, someone approached him.
What was this twitching sensation in his right eyelid?
He cautiously opened his eyes and saw Fang Miaomiao standing there, arms crossed, looking at him with a half-smile.
He was so startled that he nearly fell off his chair.
"Uh, Miaomiao, don't look at me like that," Chen Tianming said, straightening up and casting an awkward, yet inexplicably guilty, glance at Fang Miaomiao.
He knew he had done many immoral 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 asked you to bring Fang Yanhuan in?"
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 matter, he could swear to heaven. Who wouldn't want their show to run smoothly without so many complications? Wang Qing and Fang Miaomiao were already at odds, and if he added another person who was at odds with them, how could he possibly run the show?
If he were to continue, he might as well rename it, just call it "Turbulent Travels."
"I want to terminate the contract. How do I do that?"
It wasn't that she was cowardly; she genuinely didn't want to deal with these people anymore. This show, apart from Cui Mantong, almost everyone else had a grudge against her. Since that was the case, she might as well terminate the contract and leave.
Staying here would shorten her lifespan.
"You want to terminate the contract?" Chen Tianming couldn't believe it, his eyes wide as he looked at Fang Miaomiao.
"Director, speak a little softer," Fang Miaomiao said crudely as she picked at her ear. "You know very well that if I stay here, I'll eventually be stripped bare."
"Termination of the contract is definitely not possible," Chen Tianming said tentatively, carefully gauging Fang Miaomiao's murderous gaze. "This is a project that the higher-ups are watching. It cannot be terminated."
"I'll pay the breach of contract fee."
"You have eighty million?"
Didn't Sister Li say that Fang Miaomiao was so poor she had to stretch every penny?
"How much?" Upon hearing this figure, Fang Miaomiao couldn't help but raise her voice. "Director, are you robbing me?"
"Keep your voice down," Chen Tianming said, mimicking her as he picked at his ear. "The breach of contract fee is eighty million, not a penny less."
"How much do I get paid for filming one episode?"
Chen Tianming glanced at her. "One hundred thousand."
Fang Miaomiao was silent for a moment, then looked at Chen Tianming with a wronged expression and mumbled, "What kind of predatory contract is this?"
"Can't be helped, tight budget."
Chen Tianming spread his hands, appearing confident that Fang Miaomiao couldn't come up with the eighty million. He said shamelessly, "Miaomiao, what's your decision?"
"This is too much."
Seeing Fang Miaomiao's red eyes, looking as though tears could fall at any moment, Chen Tianming awkwardly rubbed his head.
Alright, this was indeed a rather unethical thing for them to do.
Whether it was the previous contract signing, the incident with Wang Qing, or the current matter with Fang Yanhuan.
Indeed, not only unethical, but also heartless.
With this thought, Chen Tianming let out a helpless sigh. "We were wrong about this. How about this, we'll give you some compensation?"
"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 was quite similar to their Huanhuan's.
Chen Tianming said guiltily, "I have a drama. How about you be the female lead?"
"Not interested."
"Really, the plot is exceptionally good, you'll definitely like it. That's my most treasured script."
"I want to quit the industry."
"A post-apocalyptic film, the main villain. As cool as can be, incredibly handsome," Chen Tianming enticed. "A pure female lead, you'll absolutely love it."
