264: Harder To Please

Harder To Please

In the actor's lounge, Yi Tian was looking at her own script. Li Fei was by her side, pouring some bird's nest soup from a thermos into a bowl. The noise must have distracted Yi Tian reading through her script because the beauty's brows furrowed a little.2

"Quiet down don't you see I'm reading the script?"

When she heard Yi Tian reprimand her, Li Fei paused. She stayed silent as she passed the bowl to Yi Tian.

Yi Tian realized she'd been harsh and put the script down to look at Li Fei. "You're not happy?"

"No." Li Fei answered sulkily.

"Good." Yi Tian swung her legs as she drunk the bird's nest soup. "You know, you were working for Guan Meiyi before, but now she's unpopular, and your company is not treating you well either. It's not fair all the blame is on you. You banked your entire future on Guan Meiyi and were only taking care of her, after all.

Li Fei frowned unhappily. She had thought she found a goldmine in Meiyi. Meiyi's public image had been great. She had a lot of fans, and she certainly brought in views. In addition to her family background, there was also the almost magical rumor of her arranged marriage with Ruan Zeyan. She had always thought that as long as she gripped hard onto Guan Meiyi, she would be able to climb to the top of the entertainment business successfully.

She hadn't expected her rise to come to such an abrupt halt. It was like she fell from the sky. She survived, but things weren't the same anymore.

"So, you should be thanking me for choosing you to be my manager."

Yi Tian's voice was crisp and light but eerie to Li Fei's ears. She couldn't deny the fact that what she said was true. Yi Tian had climbed the up ranks through her acting skills, and the company was planning to push her further. They had even introduced her to Zhang Heng so she could audition for Hunting Allure. Yi Tian had gained the approval of Zhang Heng and successfully took up the role through skilled and insightful acting.

Seeing how Yi Tian's position in the company had grown, Li Fei knew that she had to grasp onto that rope for her dear life, no matter what. Even if she had to suffer. She suffered a fair amount back when she was serving Guan Meiyi anyway.

Seeing Li Fei's expression settle, Yi Tian continued drinking her soup.

"But Yi Tian, you have to be careful of Ling Tianya because she's definitely not some saint. Guan Meiyi fell into a few of her traps. Guan Meiyi's boycott was largely because of Ling Tianya too." Li Fei kindly spoke up to remind Yi Tian if danger.

Hearing Guan Meiyi's name, Yi Tian's brows furrowed again. "Don't even say my name in the same sentence as that idiot. She's the one that's useless, and she dug her own grave. Who else can she blame? You have to use your brain in this society; if not, you will lose the game even with the best cards in your hand!"

"Yes, yes, you are right!" Li Fei agreed.

Suddenly, as though recalling something, Yi Tian's glanced sharpened. "What are you still standing here for?"

Li Fei blanked. "Where should I be?" Li Fei found herself really unable to catch up with Yi Tian's tempo.

"Of course you need to go buy Ling Tianya's books for me! The original copies of all of them. If there are special editions, then those are even better."

"What for?"

Yi Tian rolled her eyes. "I'm an idiot, why did I choose a manager that doesn't have a brain like you? It's to read them, of course. I told Ling Tianya I'm a fan of hers, yet I haven't read a single one of them. I need to buy copies to show I wasn't lying. If you want to lie, then you have to cover it up, do you really not get it?"

Li Fei rushed to buy Ling Tianya's books at that, thinking to herself that Yi Tian was a lot harder to please than Guan Meiyi.
