Huayu: That year, I withdrew from the Super Boy competition.

Yang Mi reacted quickly.

She leaned forward almost instinctively and gave Cai Yinong a light hug.

After parting ways, the expression on his face changed to a polite and humble one.

"Sister K, I think the production team is great, thank you for your concern."

Cai Yinong nodded in satisfaction.

"Mi Mi, it's so great that you can play the role of Xue Jian."

I feel like the role of Xuejian was tailor-made for you.

very nice."

After she finished speaking, she looked Yang Mi up and down, as if admiring a piece of work she had chosen, her eyes full of satisfaction.

Tang Yan, who was standing next to her with a smile, visibly froze when she heard these words.

It was just a fleeting moment.

He quickly returned to normal, and the corners of his mouth curved back up, with an arc almost identical to before.

If you weren't specifically looking at her, you wouldn't even notice that one-second pause.

But among the people present, probably no one was deliberately staring at her.

The role of Xuejian was originally intended for Tang Yan.

During the pre-production stage, Tang Yan had already received the script for Xue Jian, tried on makeup, took costume photos, and even started some preliminary preparations.

When the stills were later released, the online reaction was different from what the production team had expected.

Many netizens felt that Tang Yan's temperament didn't match Xue Jian's. Some said she was more suitable for other roles, while others directly posted Yang Mi's photo on the forum, saying that Yang Mi should be the one to play Xue Jian.

At that time, Yang Mi had just made her debut with the role of Guo Xiang in "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and was very popular with the audience. An online poll pushed her name to the top.

Cai Yinong listened to the advice and began contacting Yang Mi's management company.

The problem was that Yang Mi had already joined the cast of "The Dream of Red Mansions" and her schedule was very full.

However, Cai Yinong did not give up. After several rounds of negotiations with Li Shaohong, she managed to get Yang Mi to work on two film sets at the same time.

After filming here, they rush to that place; after filming there, they fly back here.

The actress playing Xuejian was changed from Tang Yan to Yang Mi.

Of course, Tang Yan wasn't taken away either; she ended up getting Zi Xuan instead.

Zi Xuan is also one of the main characters, and to be honest, she is a better match for Xue Jian than for Zi Xuan.

After the show aired, the character Zi Xuan did indeed bring her a lot of recognition.

But the third female lead and the first female lead are incomparable, no matter how you look at it.

The amount of screen time, the focus of publicity, the level of market attention... these differences can be seen even before a drama is finished filming.

However, it doesn't matter what Tang Yan is thinking, because no one cares about her thoughts.

No matter how uncomfortable she felt, she could only endure it.

That's just how the entertainment industry is. Roles are replaced, endorsements are snatched away, and projects that have been agreed upon are changed at the last minute. These things happen every day; they're all too common.

No one will pity you because you've been wronged.

Cai Yinong naturally didn't pay attention to the expression on Tang Yan's face after hearing those words.

Her attention was entirely on Yang Mi, and the two of them were still holding hands.

Her gaze towards Yang Mi was filled with undisguised admiration.

In her eyes, Tang Yan was just an ordinary actress in the crew, and there was no need to bother taking care of her feelings.

But Yang Mi was different.

From the day Cai Yinong took the initiative to ask Yang Mi to fill in for her as Xuejian, her intentions were no secret.

She wanted to sign Yang Mi to Tangren Media.

The staff around him knew about this.

His intentions are as clear as day.

So when Cai Yinong arrived at the film set today, she simply nodded to Hu Ge and Liu Shishi before heading off.

However, he specifically went up to Yang Mi, took her hand, and exchanged pleasantries, praising her for being a good fit for the role and saying that Xuejian was tailor-made for her.

These words, ostensibly encouragement from a producer to an actor, are actually a boss's way of showing goodwill to a potential client.

Afterwards, Cai Yinong chatted with the other lead actors for a few minutes, inquired about the filming progress, and also briefly discussed the on-site coordination with the directors.

However, it was obvious to everyone that her focus was always on Yang Mi.

They continued talking for a while after that.

She glanced at her watch and, feeling it was about time, stood up and gave the others some instructions.

Before leaving, she took Yang Mi's hand again and said in an even more enthusiastic tone than before:

"Mi Mi, I have something to do, so I'll be going now. If you need anything in the future, just give me a call."

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi smiled sweetly and nodded:

"Yes, thank you for your concern, Sister K."

Cai Yinong let go of his hand and turned to walk out.

As she passed by Hu Ge, she didn't stop or turn her head; she simply turned her head and glanced at Hu Ge out of the corner of her eye.

The moment Hu Ge and Cai Yinong locked eyes, I felt a chill run down my spine and my shoulders involuntarily tensed.

However, Cai Yinong didn't say anything, and continued walking out without stopping. After looking away, she continued walking out.

Hu Ge stood there watching her leave, thinking to himself: It seems Cai Yinong probably already knows that he's pursuing Yang Mi.

However, she didn't talk to him, didn't try to get any information from him, and didn't say a single extra word.

At this time, Cai Yinong did nothing, which in itself is an attitude.

Cai Yinong's look just now wasn't exactly a warning; it was more like a "I know everything, you figure it out yourself" kind of message.

It's important to know that Hu Ge has always been the "number one" at Tangren Media, so his image is very important.

If it were any other boss, they would definitely give a subtle warning if they knew their cash cow was dating.

However, she did nothing.

Perhaps she was thinking that Hu Ge would win over Yang Mi, and then get Yang Mi to sign with her company, which would be a win-win situation for everyone.

…………

The first thing Su Wei did upon returning to her residence was to call Xiao Wu.

The phone rang several times before being answered. The background noise on the other end was loud, sounding like someone was out shopping.

Su Wei didn't beat around the bush and told her directly that the holiday was over and she should come back as soon as possible.

Xiao Wu exclaimed "Ah!" on the phone.

Su Wei didn't give her a chance to ask further questions and hung up after speaking.

His luggage was simple.

I folded my few changes of clothes and stuffed them into my bag; it only took two minutes to pack.

Their trip will only last two days at most, so there's no need for them to bring too much stuff, since they'll be coming back anyway.

Not long after, Xiao Wu returned, panting and struggling.

A gust of wind blew in when the door was pushed open; she must have been strolling around the neighborhood, which is why she arrived so quickly.

Once inside, she stood at the doorway, staring at Su Wei with a resentful expression.

Su Wei zipped up her bag, glanced at her, and then selectively ignored her gaze.

He placed his bag beside the bed and slowly said, "It's not my fault. I just received the notification myself."

Sister K asked me to go to Beijing for a magazine photoshoot.

Hurry up and get ready, Sister K will be here soon.
