“That’s right, that’s right. Little Che, you are always particularly understanding, far more than other actors. You don’t know how afraid I am of those who aren’t understanding. They’ll create chaos and affect the movement of our company. It’s great that you think this way.”
After the manager left, Yang Lingxin then said, “I believe that Sister Che is definitely more capable than Qin Wanwan, but the company actually said that they want to help Qin Wanwan become some goddess. If she’s a goddess, what does that make Sister Che?”
Lin Che said, “That’s just a gimmick. At the end of the day, it still depends on our hard work. Who doesn’t want to be at the top? A soldier who doesn’t want to become general is not a good soldier. I also want to be at the top, but I won’t push away competition either. I can accept any rivalry as long as it is legitimate.”
Yang Lingxin pouted, “Okay then. I just feel unjust for Sister Che. If only Sister Yu was still here. She definitely wouldn’t have let the company bully Sister Che. Otherwise, Sister Che can tell President Gu. President Gu wouldn’t let the company treat you this way too.”
Lin Che said, “There is no bullying going on. Don’t tell me that the company can only groom me alone? Forget it. This is such a huge management company and there are plenty of artists.”
However, with Qin Wanwan’s arrival, some of Lin Che’s resources were inevitably going to be snatched by her. After all, a company’s cooperative resources were indeed limited.
She had a phone call with Yu Minmin in the afternoon. Yu Minmin said, “That is natural. However, the company is really not making a smart move. If you were different types, it would be alright. However, you two are the same type and they even poached her. I’m guessing that the company wants to make use of you two and stir up some commotion together. This tactic is really very detrimental, but it can indeed save a lot of publicity.”
Lin Che sighed and asked Yu Minmin, “It seems like the news has died down a bit over the past few days. Have you adjusted?”
“Yes, it’s a lot better now. It’s already pretty much nothing. Nobody finds it shocking after a while. It is indeed too surprising for people to know about it now and they can’t take it for the time being. They’ll come to terms with it sooner or later.”
“Alright then. See you, Madam President. I’ll be retreating.”
“Please, go ahead. I’ll be sending you off from here.”
Both of them burst into laughter, thinking that they were being too ridiculous.
In the afternoon, the company looked up Lin Che again and said to her, “Qin Wanwan recently signed up for a class at the drama school. Many celebrities are going there as well. What do you think about going too? Take it as a drama school activity. The teachers are all veterans and interacting with them will be beneficial to your image.”
Lin Che said, “Okay, I’ll ask Sister Yu.”
She called Yu Minmin again. Yu Minmin said, “Go ahead. It’s actually impossible to not go either. The company has already made the decision and if you were to say no, they’ll find some other excuse to make you go. Don’t waste your time.”
This also confirmed what Yu Minmin said previously. Ultimately, they wanted to create some hype with her and Qin Wanwan.
Lin Che agreed to it and the company immediately helped to sign her up. After that, she met Qin Wanwan who just came out from her contract signing ceremony. She looked at Lin Che and said, “Lin Che, I heard Director Zhang say that you’re also going to drama school.”
Lin Che replied, “Yeah, the company arranged it.”
“That’s great! I heard that I have to stay in school for a while and I was worried that I wouldn’t know anyone. I wouldn’t have known what to do about that.”
Lin Che laughed and said, “I only just knew about it this afternoon. I hope everything will go smoothly. I’m going to prepare some stuff.”
“Okay. Oh right. Your movie is going to be released soon. Break a leg!”
“Yes. Don’t you have a movie releasing soon too? Let’s break a leg together.”
Lin Che said this and left.
Qin Wanwan watched Lin Che leave. Her crew member behind, Little He, glared at the side and said to Qin Wanwan, “Hmph, I wonder if she’s doing this on purpose. When we participate in a training program, she also participates. We only just got here and she’s already fighting for resources with us.”
Qin Wanwan said, “Forget it. We are the ones who came here competing for resources. It’s already good that she’s not angry with us.”
