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

Upon hearing the words "Sister K," Xiao Wu's expression visibly changed.

Those eyes, which had been filled with resentment, blinked, and their expression immediately became much clearer.

Su Wei looked at the doorway, smiled, and picked up the handle of her bag, placing it on the chair.

Xiao Wu only dared to complain to Su Wei.

It wasn't that she didn't understand the rules; it was precisely because she understood Su Wei.

Having spent so much time with Su Wei, she had long since figured out his temperament.

But Cai Yinong, the big boss, is different; she truly holds the power of life and death over her.

She has no plans to look for another job for the time being.

Therefore, every time Cai Yinong came to the film set, Xiao Wu would be very cautious around Su Wei, showing her his best side.

She was quite satisfied with her job as Su Wei's assistant.

Firstly, Su Wei has a good temper and is tolerant of others; secondly, as a newcomer, he has few responsibilities, unlike those popular artists whose schedules are packed, so she won't be exhausted to the point of collapse by following him.

So she's very clear-headed.

Su Wei walked past her and went into the bathroom.

Xiao Wu pursed his lips at the closed door, then turned and went back to his room.

Shortly after the two of them finished getting ready, Cai Yinong's car arrived downstairs.

After the two got into the car and sat down, the car started moving.

At first, the carriage was quiet, and no one spoke.

Xiao Wu sat in the front row, her ears perked up, but there was no sound from the back row for a long time, so she gradually relaxed her vigilance and leaned back in her chair to doze off.

Cai Yinong turned her head and glanced at Su Wei sitting next to her.

Su Wei leaned back in her chair with her head tilted to the side, her eyes closed, and her breathing steady, looking as if she were asleep.

However, Cai Yinong knew he definitely wasn't asleep.

She hesitated for a moment, then spoke up.

"Regarding your future career development, here's my plan for now. After this project is finished, I won't let you take on any more roles; you should go back to school."

She paused, observing Su Wei's reaction.

Su Wei's eyes remained closed, showing no intention of opening them.

"Of course, this doesn't mean the company doesn't care about you."

Cai Yinong added another explanation that she felt was necessary.

"We will definitely increase your exposure in the process, by giving you magazine appearances, interviews, and gigs."

This exposure is ongoing. First, solidify the fanbase you built up from participating in the talent show, and then gradually increase investment based on that foundation.

After explaining the situation, she added one last question, "What do you think?"

After she finished speaking, she stared at Su Wei's face, trying to find something out from it.

Surprise, dissatisfaction, disappointment...

However, she was clearly going to be disappointed.

Su Wei opened her eyes and turned to look at her.

His gaze was no different from his usual self, without any emotional fluctuation.

"Sure, let's do it your way. I have no objection. I'll take this time to organize the songs I've written."

After saying that, he turned his head back and leaned back in his chair.

As Cai Yinong watched his series of actions, many of the words she had prepared stuck in her throat.

She had expected Su Wei to be a little emotional.

After all, newcomers are still in the midst of the excitement of filming a movie.

Then I was suddenly told that I wouldn't be taking on any more roles after filming this movie and that I had to go back to school. I felt a little lost or uneasy.

She had prepared a bunch of comforting words, but she didn't need to use any of them.

Xiao Wu, sitting in the front row, glanced quickly in the rearview mirror, then quickly looked away and continued to pretend to be asleep.

The car fell silent again.

Looking at Su Wei's silent demeanor, Cai Yinong suddenly felt a strange, indescribable feeling.

Is this kid genuinely indifferent, or is he just pretending?

Having dealt with celebrities for so many years, she's seen countless people who say "I'll follow the company's arrangements" but then turn around and complain to others.

But when Su Wei said those words just now, she was too calm, and it didn't seem like she was just being perfunctory at all.

She doesn't have an answer to this question right now.

Su Wei leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes again.

When Su Wei said "I have no objection," her tone was indeed very flat.

But that doesn't mean he really had no thoughts at all.

There's definitely a little discomfort, but not much, just a tiny bit.

What Cai Yinong just said is actually quite easy to understand.

That means the company won't be investing its main resources in him at the moment.

After filming "Chinese Paladin 3", other actors might move on to the next project, but what about him?

Go back to school.

Magazines, interviews, GG...

These things sound exciting, but frankly, they're just scraps to maintain basic exposure, and they're not a real deal compared to a serious acting role.

He still remembered that Cai Yinong had said to him on set, "I'll reserve a role for you in the next film."

The result is now "go back to class first".

Sure enough, the boss's words are a lie.

One second they're saying they'll give you some soup, and the next second, the soup's gone.

However, Su Wei stopped thinking about it there and didn't dwell on it any further.

A company has only so many resources, and the pie is only so big. If more is given to one person, less will be given to another.

Tangren's current focus is on Hu Ge, a fact known to everyone in the industry.

Su Wei had already thought of this before joining the company.

Su Wei was well aware of the current gap between the two.

In terms of fame, commercial value, and years of service with the company, he is no match for Hu Ge.

He has already filmed several movies, has market appeal, and has a solid audience base, so it's understandable that the company would allocate resources to him.

Besides, Hu Ge and Cai Yinong's personal relationship is something that has been genuinely built up over time.

When Hu Ge was in a car accident, the entire industry thought he had no future.

Keep in mind that at that time, Tangren Media was still filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," and Hu Ge was one of the lead actors.

After such a major incident, other companies might replace the project and minimize the losses.

This practice is perfectly normal within the circle, and no one will say anything about it.

But Cai Yinong did not.

She withstood all the pressure and defied all opposition.

The entire team waited for Hu Ge, for him to finish his surgery, for him to recover, and for him to gradually emerge from the shadows.

What happened next is what we all know.

Hu Ge did not disappoint Cai Yinong.

After recovering from the car accident, he seemed to have shed a layer of skin.

He was more composed and steady on set than before, once again shouldering the heavy responsibility for Tangren Media and becoming the company's most important asset in the market.

This kind of relationship is incomparable to that of an ordinary boss and employee.

Su Wei knew very well that comparing her position with Hu Ge's in the company was a pointless exercise.

Of course, besides having a clear understanding of the company's resource allocation, there was another more important reason why Su Wei agreed to Cai Yinong's arrangement:

He is well aware of his own limitations.
