Huayu: You were supposed to be a top star, but you've become capital?

Tang Yan looked at Bai Mengyan, her smile devoid of emotion, her eyes becoming noticeably more obscure.

"That's true." She nodded. "But Teacher Bai Lu is so young, are you getting used to filming here all by yourself?"

"It's great, everyone on the crew has been very considerate of me."

"That's good." Tang Yan smiled. "It's good for young people to have someone to take care of them. Especially a boss like Lin Shen, he really... cares about his artists."

She pronounced the word "carefully" very clearly.

Bai Mengyan looked at her but didn't reply.

Tang Yan continued, "I was wondering why I always saw you going to the top floor, then I remembered, Lin Shen lives there. People from your company often go up there for meetings, right?"

Bai Mengyan clicked her tongue inwardly. Those words sounded like they were saying something no one could understand.

She blinked and gave a standard business smile:

"Yeah, Brother Shen is so good to us. He always thinks of us when there are any projects or shows. Unlike some bosses who only care about their own success and don't care about the well-being of their subordinates."

Tang Yan's smile faltered for a moment.

Bai Mengyan continued, "Moreover, Brother Shen is incredibly meticulous. Sometimes he can arrange things in advance that we haven't even thought of. Teacher Tang, you've worked with him for so many days, you must have noticed that too, right?"

Tang Yan looked at her and suddenly found it somewhat interesting.

This girl isn't the type to blush and get angry after being teased a couple of times.

"That's true." Tang Yan leaned back. "Lin Shen is indeed quite thoughtful. But..."

Her gaze swept over Bai Mengyan almost imperceptibly. "I have many scenes with him, so I naturally know him a lot. Teacher Bai Lu is new to the crew, so there are some things she may not know yet."

Bai Mengyan blinked: "What's wrong?"

Tang Yan smiled without saying anything, and changed the subject: "I heard you used to be a Taobao model? That's pretty impressive. It's quite a leap from model to actress."

"It's quite big." Bai Mengyan nodded, making no attempt to hide it. "But I was lucky enough to be noticed by Brother Shen and signed with a company, which gave me the opportunity to act."

"They're really lucky," Tang Yan said meaningfully. "These days, there aren't many newcomers who get noticed by the boss."

Bai Mengyan picked up her milk tea, took a sip, and said slowly:

"Teacher Tang is right, that's why I always remember Brother Shen's kindness. Unlike some people, who are still ungrateful even though Brother Shen is quite polite to them."

Tang Yan's eyes flickered.

Bai Mengyan put down her milk tea and looked at her with a smile: "Teacher Tang, don't you have any scenes to film today? What brings you here to sit?"

"Yes, there is, an afternoon show." Tang Yan smiled as well. "I just happened to pass by and saw you sitting here alone, so I came over to chat for a bit. After all, we're both actors, so it's good to exchange ideas."

"That's great." Bai Mengyan nodded. "If Teacher Tang has time, please give me some guidance. I'm just a newbie and don't know anything. Please forgive me if I do something wrong on set someday."

Tang Yan looked at her and suddenly realized that the girl's way of speaking was somewhat familiar.

She was witty and sarcastic, and she turned the tables on him with a smile.

Somewhat like... Lin Shen.

"Okay." Tang Yan stood up, patted her coat, and said, "Then, Teacher Bai Lu, please read the script carefully. I won't disturb you any longer."

"Teacher Tang, please take care."

Tang Yan took a few steps and then looked back at her.

Bai Mengyan had already lowered her head again and continued to "read" the script. Sunlight shone on her profile, making her look quiet and harmless.

Tang Yan withdrew her gaze and walked away in her high heels.

Xiao Zhang appeared out of nowhere, sidled up to Bai Mengyan, and whispered:

"Sister Lu! What did Teacher Tang say to you? She didn't give you any trouble, did she?"

Bai Mengyan looked up at Tang Yan's departing figure and suddenly smiled.

"It's nothing, just chatting."

"real?"

"Really." Bai Mengyan handed the milk tea to Xiao Zhang. "Hold this for me, I'm going to the restroom."

She stood up and walked towards the restroom.

She took a few steps, then paused. Of course, she understood what Tang Yan had just said.

What does it mean that "the boss cares about his own artists" or "a newcomer who can be chosen by the boss"? Isn't it just trying to say that she rose to fame because of Lin Shen?

Bai Mengyan twitched the corner of her mouth.

Yes, he rose to power because of Lin Shen, so what?

If you're so capable, why don't you try relying on yourself?

She couldn't help but recall what Gu Man had said at the dinner table a few days ago: "I had also thought about casting Tang Yan as Zhao Mosheng; she's quite suitable in every way."

The results of it?

Brother Shen clearly knew about this, but he still went ahead and robbed it.

Bai Mengyan's smile widened slightly.

She continued walking forward, when a thought suddenly popped into her mind: What would Tang Yan's expression be if she knew that the role of Zhao Mosheng was now in her hands?

It must look really good.

Unfortunately, I can't say.

Bai Mengyan sighed and pushed open the bathroom door.

When she came out, she looked at herself in the mirror.

At twenty years old, she started as a Taobao model and signed with a company less than two months ago. Her first role was Huo Xiuxiu in "The Lost Tomb," and her next role is likely to be the female lead in "My Sunshine."

Tang Yan is more than ten years older than her, has been acting for many years, and has a certain status and resources.

But so what?

Who does this old woman think she is? If she's really annoyed and wants to target me, why didn't she come when Brother Shen was around?

They had to choose a time when none of the members of the film crew, including Lucky Films, were present.

Shen Ge isn't here, Yang Yang isn't here either, so she's the only one left who looks easy to bully, right?

What a pity!

Lin Shen chose her.

Bai Mengyan winked at herself in the mirror and suddenly smiled.

"You? You think you can mess with me?"

She muttered something to herself, then pushed open the door and went out.

The morning's filming went very smoothly.

Bai Mengyan's scenes were all completed in one or two takes. Luo Yongchang nodded behind the monitor, and the script supervisor ticked off the scenes on the whiteboard.

When it was time to finish work and have lunch, Xiao Zhang ran over with his bag:

"Sister Lu, Sister Lu! Dou has made all the arrangements. We'll head straight back to the hotel tonight to pack our things and head back to the city early tomorrow morning!"

"Okay," Bai Mengyan replied and walked out.

As they reached the door, they bumped into Tang Yan again.

The two exchanged a glance.

Tang Yan smiled slightly, said nothing, and walked over.

Bai Mengyan didn't say anything and continued walking out. Just as they brushed past each other, she suddenly spoke:

"Teacher Tang."

Tang Yan stopped in her tracks and turned to look at her.

Bai Mengyan turned around and said with a smile, "Thank you for chatting with me today. Let's keep in touch and exchange ideas when we have time. There's still so much I want to learn from you."

Tang Yan looked at her, her eyes flickering.

"No problem."

"Teacher Tang, if there's nothing else, I'll go eat now. I have a scene to film this afternoon, so I need to prepare in advance."

Tang Yan stood there, watching her turn to leave, and finally found her voice again:

"White Dew".

Bai Mengyan turned around.

Tang Yan still had a smile on her face, but her eyes had turned cold:

"I understand that Lin Shen is protecting you. But he can't be by your side every single moment, right?"
