As the other protagonist of the beverage incident, Xia Wei was extremely calm. She did not expect Lu Man to “die” on a detail that he did not even notice!
Putting down the cup in her hand, Xia Wei glanced at Lu Man and his assistance’s hurriedly leaving figures without batting an eyelid. When she slowly turned around, she met Xu Kai’s gaze.
Xu Kai sighed helplessly and nodded at Xia Wei guiltily, silently comforting the most innocent true victim of this farce.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLu Man, this uninvited guest, could not affect the mood of the entire production team. Under the cooperation of Ma Liang and Ji Yan, the entire dining table quickly returned to the happy and relaxed atmosphere from before. Everyone tacitly ignored this speechless interlude.
Ji Yan was also a senior in the entertainment industry. He naturally understood the infighting between actors and actresses from the same production team. He raised his wine glass and glanced at Xia Wei opposite him before drinking it in one gulp with a smile.
After three rounds of drinks, the gathering tonight was almost over. Xia Wei was brought to the underground parking lot by Xu Kai to send Ji Yan to the car. Wang Ming and producer Ma Liang were also with them.
“Alright! I’ll get into the car and leave now. The two of you should hurry back to the hotel to rest.” Ji Yan and Ma Liang had been drinking happily just now. When they were helped into the car by their assistants, they were slightly tipsy. However, even so, he did not forget to mutter these instructions.
As he spoke, he looked at Xia Wei, who was behind the men. He smiled and continued, “Xia Wei, you’re very good! I’m very satisfied with the few scenes I worked with you for. 1 really hope to have another chance to work with you in the future. Hahaha, 1 haven’t been as happy as today in a long time! If we have another male lead who can hold up the stage in our drama, it will definitely be trending! What a pity… What a pity!”
Ji Yan was talkative after drinking too much. His assistant seemed to be used to it. After getting him into the car, he turned around and smiled apologetically at the people outside the car.
After hearing Ji Yan’s words, Xia Wei took a few steps forward and looked at this cute senior. She said bluntly, “We can be trending even without him. Teacher Ji, don’t worry. The later parts of our drama will definitely not be bad!”
Everyone present knew what Xia Wei meant by “without”. Xu Kai’s feelings were a little complicated, but he did not show it in front of Ji Yan.
“Alright! 1 like your confidence.” Ji Yan replied to Xia Wei’s words in a clear voice, unable to suppress the smile in his eyes. “There aren’t many actresses like you who are so energetic and have good conditions these days! 1 think you can definitely succeed. Best of luck, child!”
As Ji Yan spoke, he closed his eyes slightly and muttered something.
Seeing that Teacher Ji Yan was drunk, Ma Liang smiled and instructed the other party’s assistant before raising his hand to signal for the chauffeur to leave.
Everyone retracted their gazes after the car disappeared around the corner.

Xia Wei chuckled and walked back slowly with her hands in her pockets. “I think we hit it off with him too. He’s an outstanding actor and senior.”
Xu Kai nodded and followed beside her and Wang Ming with his eyes lowered. A few seconds later, he sighed and said, “That’s right. If only all the actors were as serious and down-to-earth as you guys. 1 wouldn’t have to worry so much that my hair would fall off!”
When Wang Ming heard Xu Kai’s words, he immediately turned to look at him. After thinking for a few seconds, he said, “Director Xu, it’s really difficult for you. Lu Man’s thoughts were exposed by Brother Ma on the spot today and he left in a sorry state midway. I wonder if he will report to the team tomorrow! Speaking of which, Ming Mai doesn’t seem to be in the country these few days. 1 wonder who can subdue that kid.”
His words hit Xu Kai’s “heart”.
It was getting harder and harder to work with Lu Man. For a moment, Xu Kai wanted to replace Lu Man and find someone else to take over!
However, how could it be so easy to change the first male lead midway through filming?
The production team and the actors’ breach of contract was a small matter. The reason why Xu Kai was so timid was that he did not know where to find someone more suitable to play the role of “Underworld Emperor” at this time..
