“Boss, Sister Wei’s car has already gone far… Are we going back now? Brother Wu Fan is still waiting for you in the apartment!” Seeing that Jian Tan was staring at the intersection where the car had disappeared, Qing reminded him in a hoa.r.s.e voice.

Jian Tan retracted his gaze when he heard that. Under his slightly long fringe, his eyes were shockingly dark. “Call Wu Fan now. When I get home, I want to know the reason why Xu Kai suddenly replaced Lu Man. 20 minutes should be enough for him, right?”

Instinctively, his boss’s last sentence sounded ominous. Qing gulped and nodded without saying anything else before making a call.

Jian Tan was gentle, considerate, and meticulous in front of Xia Wei, but his a.s.sistants, Qing and Wu Fan, knew that these belonged to Xia Wei alone. In front of most people, Jian Tan was actually not that easy to get close to.

Even though he was always smiling when he interacted with people, no one could make him compromise again and again like Xia Wei. It was as if he had no choice but to cherish her for the rest of his life!

Jian Tan had the n.o.bility of a superior, but it was always difficult to maintain it in front of Xia Wei.

He preferred that he could be relied on and trusted by Xia Wei! However, that was obviously not the case in reality. Jian Tan was not discouraged by this. He just hoped that that day would come sooner.

At 11 pm, in the Jian Family’s villa in Taijing Garden.

A tense atmosphere lingered between Big Manager Wu and the a.s.sistant behind them.

Jian Tan sat on the luxurious and comfortable sofa and asked Wu Fan calmly without looking up, “So their production team’s punishment for Lu Man is only to terminate their contract with him? Haven’t the artists under Starlight’s Ming Mai always been said to be the most obedient and sensible? Is this what it means to be ‘sensible’?”

Although Jian Tan’s tone was very calm, Wu Fan could tell that she was displeased. He did not dare to reply directly, and Qing’s a.s.sistant, who was standing behind the two of them, naturally did not dare to say anything.

Fortunately, Jian Tan did not expect an answer. He sat up straight and leaned against the sofa. After a few seconds, he continued calmly, “Put this person onto the blacklist of Emperor’s artists. I don’t want to see him in the industry in the future.”

He paused for a moment. When he looked sideways at Wu Fan, there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes. “So Ma Liang and Xu Kai’s script hasn’t been handed to you yet?”

Hearing Jian Tan’s last question, Wu Fan’s heart tightened. He widened his eyes and looked at him, but he did not dare to ask about the doubts and surprise in his mouth because Jian Tan clearly did not want to hear words that contradicted his opinion.

Actually, Jian Tan would find out about this sooner or later. Wu Fan deliberately suppressed it and did not let his subordinates hand over this news because he wanted to hide it from Jian Tan first!

What was Jian Tan’s status now? He was the Best Actor winner of China and the entire world. If he lowered himself to take on this unknown low-budget web drama, how many peers in the film industry would laugh at him?

This was something that Wu Fan and the entire Jian Tan Studio did not want to see. Hence, Big Manager Wu chose to remain silent when Ma Liang handed over the script.

Even if the first female lead of this web drama was Xia Wei, that would not do. Jian Tan’s status was too high. It was impossible for her to lower himself to solve others’ problems and take over the role of an i8th-tier negligible artist!

However, he also knew that this matter could not be hidden for long. It depended on whether the production team of Female a.s.sa.s.sin could find a suitable male actor to act with Xia Wei before Jian Tan reacted to this matter. However, things didn’t go as planned. Wu Fan could not hide it from Jian Tan in the end.

Wu Fan cursed Ma Liang and Xu Kai in his heart for being too inefficient. After thinking for a moment, he took the initiative to explain, “Yes, it has been handed over, but I keep feeling that this role is not worth your help! I know you want to help Xia Wei, but we have to be rational, right?”

“Yesterday, Director Sun even called and asked you if you had time after ‘Zhaoyuan’. He has a script tailor-made for you! I didn’t even give him a definite answer when Director Sun was so sincere. If you turn around and accept a script like ‘Female a.s.sa.s.sin’ again, what will he think of us?”

“Are we still cooperating in the future? So, this is not appropriate, Boss! Work is work. Emotions are emotions.. We have to distinguish clearly!”
