Chapter 315: Welcome to my camp

Chen Ziyan's words hit Lu Yan He like a bucket of cold water.

Before Chen Ziyan pointed this out, he had only considered that since she was Xu Zijun's older sister, he would feel much more at ease compared to other strangers; he hadn't considered the issue of her eccentric parents at all.

Now that she mentioned it...

Lu Yan He also felt a bit worried.

"I've already asked Xu Zijun to talk to her sister about this." Lu Yan He looked at Chen Ziyan, feeling a bit awkward. "What should I do? Should I go back and say it's not necessary now?"

Chen Ziyan shook her head. "That wouldn't be good either. It's fine; we can just reject her later with the excuse that we felt she wasn't a good fit after the interview."

Chen Ziyan added, "Actually, if not for those reasons, she would indeed be a very good candidate."

Lu Yan He didn't say anything more.

"The project Xu Yiren wants to bring to you has Chen Ziliang as the male lead," Chen Ziyan suddenly said to Lu Yan He. "Didn't expect that, did you?"

"Chen Ziliang? Isn't he a singer?"

"He's transitioning into acting," Chen Ziyan said. "For that project, Chen Ziliang is the male lead specifically requested by the investors. Before this, Chen Ziliang had only made cameos in two dramas."

Lu Yan He frowned. "What does that have to do with Xu Yiren coming to find me to act?"

"Xu Yiren probably feels that Chen Ziliang can't carry the drama on his own." Chen Ziyan smiled. "You'll know if you look at the projects Xu Yiren has acted in before; the male leads who played opposite her were all first-tier stars with similar status to her. Someone like Chen Ziliang, who isn't a trained actor and has never played a lead role, is the first."

Lu Yan He: "Can't Xu Yiren carry the drama herself?"

"That's just what she says to the public. To be honest, the industry is very clear about it. Although Xu Yiren has had many hit works in the past, basically none of them were truly carried by her alone. Rather than saying she has the ability to carry a drama, it's more accurate to say she knows how to pick scripts and how to pick her co-stars," Chen Ziyan said. "Think about it: why is she still standing tall despite being so disliked by her peers and having been attacked countless times? First, her professional ability is very strong; second, she is extremely good at picking scripts and roles. She has never been questioned when it comes to acting; it's all praise."

"Wait, no, Sister Ziyan, I don't quite understand. Why are you saying she's good at picking scripts and gets all praise for acting, while also saying her ability to carry a drama isn't that strong?" Lu Yan He asked.

Chen Ziyan said, "Simply put, she is famous for her acting and has good audience appeal, but she doesn't have many die-hard fans, and not many people will be interested in a drama just because she's in it to the point where they must watch it."

"How is this conclusion about her 'not being able to carry a drama' reached?"

"Look at the premiere situation. If a drama gets better as it airs, it means the drama is well-made, attracting more and more viewers. But if the premiere is very poor, it means the drama's core foundation is low and it lacks attention," Chen Ziyan said. "Objectively speaking, setting aside her marketing tactics, both her acting ability and her eye for scripts are top-tier, but she happens to lack that 'starlight'—she doesn't have the kind of charm that makes everyone excited or even crazy for her."

Lu Yan He asked, "So, are you saying she wants me to play the second male lead and rely on me to carry her drama?"

"That fits her usual style," Chen Ziyan said. "Don't say I didn't warn you: if you agreed, she would definitely push you into a 'dual male lead' position. At least on her end, she would definitely spin it that way."

"Ah?" Lu Yan He was stunned.

"It's not like she hasn't done this before. She will do everything in her power to ensure the drama gets a good result."

Xu Yiren's way of thinking is indeed different from the average person.

Generally speaking, an actor usually strives to gain more benefits for themselves and won't easily act as a stepping stone for others.

Like Xu Yiren, going to such great lengths to turn a second male lead into one of the "dual male leads"—isn't that just thankless work? Who would do that? She does it, and the reason is simple: she feels the male lead alone can't carry the drama.

Chen Ziyan: "It's better to have less contact with people like Xu Yiren in the future. Although many actors scramble to work with her because she has a 'hit-maker constitution' and want to piggyback on her luck, you are already at this position; there's no need to risk getting into trouble just to work with her. You were right to refuse."

Lu Yan He: "Looking back, my mind wasn't clear. I should have just said that I don't have the final say in accepting roles, that you do, and told her to find you."

Chen Ziyan: "You finally thought of that. Isn't that one of the greatest uses of an agent? We do the dirty work of offending people."

Lu Yan He: "It's mainly because she played her trump card right from the start, and I was completely caught off guard."

Chen Ziyan nodded: "You responded quite quickly, at least you didn't get entangled by her."

She suddenly remembered something and smiled. "However, if this news reaches Chen Ziliang's ears, he'll probably be furious and get into a fight with Xu Yiren."

"Hmm?"

"The reason Xu Yiren came to find you is that she thinks Chen Ziliang can't carry the drama. So, given Chen Ziliang's personality, how do you think he'd react if he knew he was so looked down upon by Xu Yiren?" Chen Ziyan smiled.

Lu Yan He: "Only we and Xu Yiren know about this. If we don't say anything, and Xu Yiren doesn't say anything, Chen Ziliang won't know."

"That's not necessarily true. No one can guess what Xu Yiren will do. Maybe she won't be able to keep her mouth shut and will just blurt it out," Chen Ziyan said. "If Meng Li is considered a bit crazy in her behavior, then Xu Yiren is mentally unstable. Not many people can understand her thought process."

Lu Yan He was left feeling worried by Chen Ziyan's words.

"Then the things I said to her—won't she maliciously interpret them and make things up?"

"That shouldn't happen. She just has an abnormal thought process, she's not stupid," Chen Ziyan said. "Between you and her, anyone can see clearly who people will believe. She won't be that foolish."

Even with Chen Ziyan saying this, Lu Yan He didn't feel much more at ease.

It was mainly because he didn't know what Xu Yiren would do.

The unknown is the most terrifying thing.

Before *Late Spring* officially started filming, Lu Yan He met Xu Fanxing with Chen Ziyan.

When Xu Fanxing was brought into Chen Ziyan's office wearing jeans and a hoodie, Chen Ziyan was stunned for a moment.

Nothing else, it was just that the girl in front of her was quite pretty.

Not the exquisite beauty that comes from makeup, but the pure, natural beauty that needs no adornment.

Xu Fanxing was a bit nervous and uneasy. After entering Chen Ziyan's office, her eyes held even more confusion caused by uncertainty.

However, in Chen Ziyan's view, it was precisely this nervousness and confusion that made her face look more full of stories.

Before this, Chen Ziyan hadn't seen any photos of Xu Fanxing.

She hadn't prepared a resume for herself either.

Lu Yan He shook hands with Xu Fanxing and said, "Sister Fanxing, long time no see."

This was also the first time they had met again after such a long time.

Xu Fanxing was also a bit dazed when she saw Lu Yan He.

When she saw him more than two years ago, he was just an unknown little star. Two years later, such a huge change had actually occurred.

"Ya, Yan He, hello."

Lu Yan He said, "I have something to do in a moment. Sister Ziyan has some questions to ask you—a simple interview, mainly to see if you are suitable for this position, Sister Fanxing."

"Okay." Xu Fanxing nodded immediately.

"Then I'll go first." Lu Yan He had come specifically at this time to meet Xu Fanxing.

After watching Lu Yan He leave, Xu Fanxing turned back to look at Chen Ziyan.

Chen Ziyan had already sat up straight, looking at her calmly, and said, "Sit."

Lu Yan He hadn't been to the Star Entertainment company for a long time.

Li Zhibai and Yan Liang were both away, but Tu Song was in the recording studio, so Lu Yan He prepared to go find him.

Unexpectedly, he ran into Wei Zhuoran, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, in the elevator.

Ever since Ma Zhiyuan went solo, Wei Zhuoran had become the backbone of the MX group.

Before Ma Zhiyuan left, Wei Zhuoran's popularity was already high. Once he left, Wei Zhuoran immediately had more group resources tilted toward him, making him even more famous.

However, with Ma Zhiyuan looming over them, although MX was still very popular, it could only remain under others at Star Entertainment.

Ma Zhiyuan and Li Zhibai presented a "dual hegemony" pattern, Yan Liang had opened up the situation because of *Friends*, and there were other artists coming on strong.

Wei Zhuoran had been under a lot of psychological pressure during this period.

Running into Lu Yan He in the elevator at this time, the two looked at each other, and neither spoke.

The elevator car was exceptionally quiet.

Previously, Wei Zhuoran would almost mock Lu Yan He every time he saw him. Now, of course, Wei Zhuoran didn't have the guts to spout nonsense anymore.

Lu Yan He didn't speak, and he didn't speak either.

Until the elevator door opened again and Lu Yan He walked out, neither of them had said a word.

After the elevator door closed again, although Wei Zhuoran and the assistant standing behind him didn't say anything, they both clearly felt a sense of relief, as if they had "let out a breath."

Wei Zhuoran quietly clenched his fists.

Over the past year or so, Lu Yan He's upward momentum had been too fierce.

So fierce that before everyone had time to guard against or be jealous for a few days, Lu Yan He had become a peak that others couldn't even catch up to by patting his horse's rear.

And at the beginning of this year, Yan Liang became popular again relying on *Friends*, and his topic popularity remained high.

Li Zhibai and the other two, who had completely bypassed the idol artist route, had all reached a new height on their respective paths.

However, except for Lu Yan He, Li Zhibai and Yan Liang both still maintained their identities as idol artists.

Since its inception, the program *Idol Era* had really stuck to the weekly broadcast mode as it initially claimed.

The weekly program gave idol artists a continuous and stable performance stage.

It had also become one of the most important stages for the MX group.

Wei Zhuoran even felt that if it weren't for this program, MX, having lost Ma Zhiyuan, might not have been able to maintain its status as the number one boy group until today.

It's just that any program will definitely give the best stage and the best time to the most popular artists.

Li Zhibai and Yan Liang's popularity and status in the *Idol Era* program were both in a class of their own, on the same level as Ma Zhiyuan and the others.

And if Wei Zhuoran didn't go on stage as a member of the MX group, but on his own solo stage, the resources he got were a grade weaker than theirs. Even Liu Zhiyin, who had just returned from overseas for about a year, was much better than him.

However, for idol artists, this year was a very terrifying year.

Because, starting this year, the Heavenly Star Awards, specifically aimed at idol artists, were about to be launched.

This meant that idol artists began to have a professional and authoritative award and ranking.

In the past, relying on topic marketing and some miscellaneous means, where many things were not won by absolute strength, artists like them backed by big companies like Star Entertainment would take advantage of many things. Now, it was not the case.

The appearance of a Heavenly Star Ranking became a battlefield for idol artists.

Hundreds of media outlets, brand PR teams, platform representatives, and fans cast votes every quarter to grade all the idol artists in the country—regardless of whether you, the artist, want to participate in this ranking, you will be graded and voted on by these media outlets. Then, a real-time updated ranking list is formed.

Regarding the ranking, a very important indicator is fan power. Fans can support—but support requires money, and every penny spent will be updated in real-time and accepted for everyone's supervision. The final figure will be used as a public welfare fund for public welfare.

The appearance of the Heavenly Star Ranking and Heavenly Star Awards ignited the war among domestic idol artists.

Whether you are really popular or fake popular is all reflected clearly on this list.

Even if Chen Ziyan was one of the organizers of this award, Lin Suyang didn't dare to say that his artists were at a disadvantage. Because a key feature of the Heavenly Star Ranking and Heavenly Star Awards is "real-time data updates, open and transparent information."

No one can manipulate it.

As soon as the first issue of the list was announced, Wei Zhuoran saw that his ranking actually only appeared in the 19th position.

Wei Zhuoran, who had always been packaged by Lin Suyang as a top domestic male idol, felt the world go black the moment he saw this ranking; the sky was about to collapse.

During a break from recording songs, Tu Song saw Lu Yan He had come, so he simply came out to rest and went to drink coffee with Lu Yan He in the "Small Garden" on the 14th floor of the company.

"Once this Heavenly Star Ranking came out, I became very awkward," Tu Song said. "I only ranked in the 60s."

Lu Yan He asked: "Why is that? You've sung so many OSTs, and many of the songs are very popular, aren't they?"

Tu Song was a bit helpless. "It's mainly because my popularity is low, fan support is low, and media scores are also low. The media side thinks my fan stickiness is low, and brand PRs think my commercial value is low. Anyway, if it weren't for a few OSTs with decent heat, I might have been ranked outside the top 100."

"It's not important. You aren't really following the idol artist route anymore, and you yourself want to be a singer, right?" Lu Yan He said.

Tu Song: "That's not how you say it. It hurts my self-esteem more or less."

His expression made him seem like he was really hurt.

Lu Yan He smiled and said: "Then what should we do? Have you communicated with Sister Ziyan?"

Tu Song was a bit helpless. "Sister Ziyan told me to straighten out my mentality and that I can't have everything. Since I've decided to sing well, I have to settle down and study singing now. She told me to go to school properly, so my work is relatively less, basically all recording songs, or only taking on more suitable stages. Most of the time, she lets me attend classes at school."

No wonder, exposure has decreased as a result.

Lu Yan He: "Sister Ziyan is not wrong. Actually, you don't have to worry. Anyway, with Sister Ziyan around, it's fine if your exposure is a little less for now. There will be many opportunities to make up for it in the future."

"That's what they say."

Lu Yan He looked at Tu Song like this, seemingly worried that he would really waste a period of time and be left behind by others.

Regarding Tu Song's troubles, Lu Yan He really didn't know what to say, and couldn't give any targeted advice.

Everyone's path is different.

Lu Yan He's own path cannot be replicated by other actors, let alone Tu Song, a singer who doesn't act.

Tu Song suddenly remembered something and was happy again, saying: "But, do you know? Many people inside our company are discussing letting MX disband."

"Why?" Lu Yan He hadn't heard any news in this regard and asked in surprise.

Tu Song said: "Because once the Heavenly Star Ranking came out, MX, a group known as the number one boy group in the country, completely revealed its true colors. Even Wei Zhuoran, who ranked the highest, only ranked 19th."

"Ah?" Lu Yan He was surprised. "Is it that low?"

Usually, he saw news about Wei Zhuoran and the others quite often.

Looking at it this way, does that mean most of the news was pushed by the company's publicity department?

Tu Song nodded. "One day, Ma Zhiyuan directly told Lin Suyang that he was self-righteous, and in reality, without him, Ma Zhiyuan, MX is nothing, which made Lin Suyang so angry he slapped the table on the spot."

"Why bother." Lu Yan He shook his head helplessly.

The bad blood between Ma Zhiyuan and Lin Suyang was far worse than the bad blood between Li Zhibai and Zhou Ping'an.

They had become enemies.

It's no exaggeration.

"It's just that Chen Jing is a pity."

"A pity?" Lu Yan He frowned in confusion.

"You wouldn't have forgotten Chen Jing, would you? He is the only one in MX who is low-key and doesn't make me feel so repulsed," Tu Song said.

Lu Yan He: "Of course I remember him. I have the same attitude as you; he is indeed the one in MX who makes me the least repulsed. However, I remember that Wei Zhuoran and the others have actually been squeezing him out. He even came to me to borrow a practice room just because Wei Zhuoran and the others felt that Chen Jing danced very well and wouldn't allow Chen Jing to steal their limelight."

"Yeah, there was a street dance program that wanted Chen Jing to go, but Lin Suyang refused on the grounds that MX had to be together to prepare for the *Idol Era* program. As a result, this street dance program is now a big hit, and several contestants are very popular. Lu Ming and Shou Ziting's rankings on the Heavenly Star Ranking are higher than Wei Zhuoran's," Tu Song said. "Chen Jing's dancing is really awesome. If he had gone to that program, maybe he would have been a hit too."

Lu Yan He's impression of Chen Jing is really quite good.

Because he is the kind of person who works hard silently by himself, doesn't kick others when they are down when he is popular, and doesn't engage in disgusting tactics.

Hearing Tu Song say this, Lu Yan He also felt sorry for Chen Jing.

Just as they were talking, someone came over.

It was actually Zhang Lan, one of the company's three leading actresses.

This female star, who fought with Jiang Yuqian for the position of the top actress until they were like fire and water, was at the pinnacle of the pyramid at Star Entertainment.

Even if she had never surpassed Jiang Yuqian in works, she could still maintain her status and popularity on par with Jiang Yuqian. She was a capable person with excellent means and ability.

As soon as Zhang Lan appeared, followed by seven or eight people, the formation was very large.

Everyone in the "Small Garden" looked at her.

She walked straight to Lu Yan He.

"I heard from others that you were here, so I hurried over." Zhang Lan put one hand on the back of Lu Yan He's chair, looked down at Lu Yan He, and smiled gently, bright and charming. "Did I disturb you? Shall we have a cup of coffee together?"

"Sister Lan, please sit," Lu Yan He said.

Zhang Lan sat down in the empty seat next to Lu Yan He.

"I've long wanted to make an appointment to meet you, but unfortunately, I've been filming and couldn't find the time. I just finished filming yesterday and came to the company to sign a contract today, and it was such a coincidence that we ran into each other," Zhang Lan said to Lu Yan He. "We've been in the same company for so long, and we haven't really gotten to know each other properly."

Lu Yan He smiled and said: "Sister Lan is very popular, I have always known Sister Lan, it's not too late for Sister Lan to know me now."

Zhang Lan smiled even more movingly.

"Your mouth is so sweet, you must be very good at making girls happy, right?"

Lu Yan He silently disguised himself with a layer of shyness.

He had no opinion of Zhang Lan.

However, the conflict between Zhang Lan and Jiang Yuqian was known to everyone in the company, especially the drama *True Crossroads* before. Jiang Yuqian had almost finished contacting it, but Zhang Lan intervened and insisted on competing. Even though Zhang Lan didn't grab it in the end, this matter still caused a lot of trouble for Jiang Yuqian.

It was impossible for Lu Yan He to talk happily with Zhang Lan while knowing about such things—of course, it was also impossible for him to ignore Zhang Lan and slap her in the face just because Jiang Yuqian had a good relationship with him.

Now Lu Yan He just wanted to know what Zhang Lan's purpose was in finding him.

And then, end it quickly.

Zhang Lan said: "When *Friends* was broadcast a while ago, I sat in front of the TV every week at the time of broadcast to watch it. I haven't chased a TV series like this for a long time. Although many people say it's just a sitcom with no nutrition, those people are pretending to understand, thinking they are amazing. Only those who truly understand comedy know how good the script you wrote is. I was really envious while watching it. Why haven't I encountered such a good script?"

Lu Yan He hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Sister Lan, you are overpraising me, this script isn't that good."

Zhang Lan: "Don't belittle yourself. Don't listen to a word of what those people outside say. You are a very talented person. It was unexpected that the Red River Awards didn't nominate *Friends* this time, but mainstream awards are always a bit conservative, and there is no way around that."

Lu Yan He smiled. "It's normal not to be nominated. *Friends* is indeed not as good as those big productions in terms of production quality. Our cost is relatively low, and we don't have much budget to make this drama more exquisite."

"What a pity. If you continue to act, the second season will definitely have a sufficient budget," Zhang Lan said.

Lu Yan He smiled and shook his head, not picking up on this sentence.

Zhang Lan: "By the way, I heard you wrote another script?"

"Hmm?" Lu Yan He was stunned. "What script?"

"You're still playing dumb with me." Zhang Lan glared at Lu Yan He with feigned anger. "I've heard about it!"

"No, I've written several scripts, I don't know which one you are talking about, Sister Lan." Lu Yan He looked at her with an innocent face.

This time it was Zhang Lan's turn to be stunned.

"Several?" Zhang Lan didn't know how to pick up. "You wrote so many?"

"Yeah." Lu Yan He nodded. "I had a few ideas before. After Teacher Jia Long and Sister Bige heard about them, they both asked me for the scripts."

Zhang Lan's eyes widened suddenly.

"Jia Long and Chen Bige both asked for scripts from you. Are they going to act in them later?"

"Yeah." Lu Yan He nodded.

A look of resentment immediately appeared on Zhang Lan's face.

"Little Lu, why didn't you consider me?" Zhang Lan said. "Do you think I'm not worth acting in your script?"

"Ah? No, it's just that I didn't know you before, Sister Lan. I was just chatting with them, and when they heard I had ideas and wrote something, they were curious and asked to see it." Lu Yan He carried his act of being innocent and simple to the end. "In the future, if I have good ideas, if they are suitable for Sister Lan, of course I will find Sister Lan."

Anyway, it's just talking, what can't be said.

Zhang Lan smiled immediately and nodded. "That's more like it. However, I heard you have another script in your hand, and the heroine is looking for Jiang Yuqian to act?"

"Yeah, right." Lu Yan He nodded. "Sister Yuqian took me to act in *Golden Age*, so my first drama was introduced by Sister Yuqian."

The sentence Zhang Lan wanted to ask directly, "Why didn't you find me to act?", was blocked in her throat by Lu Yan He's words.

Lu Yan He's first drama was introduced by Jiang Yuqian, so it was natural for him to find Jiang Yuqian to act.

Even if she was thick-skinned, she was embarrassed to say that Jiang Yuqian was not as good as her.

Why didn't she, Zhang Lan, give Lu Yan He this opportunity before Lu Yan He became famous?

Zhang Lan smiled awkwardly.

"Then if there are good opportunities in the future, you must prioritize me." Zhang Lan said.

"Okay." Lu Yan He nodded without hesitation.

He felt that he... had really grown a lot.

Zhang Lan added him as a friend before leaving.

Once she left, Lu Yan He and Tu Song prepared to leave too.

Chen Ziyan looked at Xu Fanxing seriously.

"Your personality is not suitable for being an assistant to a star artist," she said very directly.

Xu Fanxing had already been chatting with Chen Ziyan for a while just now.

Chen Ziyan asked her many things, including her school days when she was young, things at home, etc.

Xu Fanxing originally thought Chen Ziyan should be satisfied with her, otherwise she wouldn't have asked so much. She didn't expect Chen Ziyan to suddenly say such a thing.

Her hands clenched instantly, her face turned pale, and she looked at Chen Ziyan at a loss.

"I, I..." Xu Fanxing wanted to defend herself, wanted to say she could learn well, could work hard to change herself, but facing this woman with a strong aura, she couldn't speak for a while.

Chen Ziyan said: "However, I can provide you with another job."

"Ah?" Xu Fanxing was stunned, looking at Chen Ziyan in surprise, her eyes glowing again.

Xu Fanxing didn't want to be Lu Yan He's assistant that much. She just really needed a job now, a job that could make money. The marriage was called off, she returned to Guangzhou, her original work unit refused to take her back, and she hadn't found another job for a while, living in uncertainty.

Chen Ziyan: "This job has nothing to do with Lu Yan He. Are you willing to accept it?"

Xu Fanxing nodded immediately. "As long as I can make money, I am willing."

Chen Ziyan: "Are you very short of money?"

Xu Fanxing bit her lip and said: "Only by making a lot, a lot of money can I be the master of my own life."

Chen Ziyan looked at Xu Fanxing in surprise, and a certain place in her heart was touched by this sentence.

Chen Ziyan was silent for a moment and said: "Then you have to know one thing. Given your family situation, the more money you have, the more trouble you will have. Sometimes, the trouble that is hardest for people to get rid of is the trouble they are born with."

Xu Fanxing looked at her in surprise.

Chen Ziyan: "I'm going to interview you, so I will definitely do some background checks on your family situation. Don't worry, I haven't told Yan He about these things. This is just a normal work process."

Xu Fanxing lowered her head, her hands clenched tightly, twisted together, and was silent for a long time before raising her head again.

"My sister Zijun and I both relied on huge perseverance to get to where we are today. Whether it was me coming out to work or Zijun going to school, we both paid a price you can't imagine to have a life like an ordinary person. So, no matter how difficult the trouble we are born with is, when one day it tries to drag us back, we will not allow such a thing to happen."

"Very good, Fanxing, I hope you can remember what you said today." Chen Ziyan looked at Xu Fanxing seriously. "Originally, I planned to let you work in a program team, to be my person, to be my eyes and ears. But because of what you just said, I am willing to give you a chance. You will still go to this program team, to be my person, to be my eyes and ears, but you will get an opportunity to learn and practice. It may be very hard and tiring, but if you persist, what level you can reach in the future depends entirely on your own good fortune."

Xu Fanxing looked at Chen Ziyan blankly, not quite understanding what Chen Ziyan meant.

"What, what good fortune?"

"No need to ask more now, return the plane ticket back." Chen Ziyan said. "You have to remember, from today on, you are my person. When you reach a certain height in the future, I will give you a chance to choose again, but before that, don't let me down. I have said this to Lu Yan He, and I will say it to you now. I have a high tolerance, but I absolutely cannot tolerate betrayal. If there is anything, any words, you can come directly to me, but don't be self-righteous and interpret it, and then hide it from me under various names, doing things that sound good. Betrayal is betrayal. I hate betrayal the most. Understand?"

Chen Ziyan's gaze shot into Xu Fanxing's eyes like a blade.

Even though Chen Ziyan was just sitting there, Xu Fanxing felt a chilling murderous aura.

Xu Fanxing of course understood that Chen Ziyan was warning her.

She took a deep breath, looked at Chen Ziyan, and said: "Don't worry, the person who gives me a chance is my benefactor, and I will never betray my benefactor."

Chen Ziyan: "No need to thank me for being a benefactor or not, I don't need it."

Xu Fanxing: "Whether you need it or not, this is my attitude."

"Very good, welcome to my camp." ===== CHAPTER 316 =====
