Chapter 391

The agent looked relieved.

"It's a good thing you've come to realize this."

"In the entertainment industry, knowing when to bend and when to stand firm isn't shameful."

"What level is Su Meng now? What level is Bai Xiao Ling?"

"You targeted Su Meng so obviously before—what if he turns around and hits back at you?"

"Now it's fine—lose some money to avoid disaster, and stay far away from him."

Hua Hua Chenyu slumped back in his chair, muttering to himself.

"I never thought I, the great Chinese-language music composition prodigy…"

Fuck! The agent immediately flew into a rage.

"How did you become this so-called composition prodigy? Don't you know what you did?"

"Didn't you just use dark magic and curses to fool a bunch of naive girls?"

"Do you really think you're that important?"

"Company notice: to avoid Su Meng's spotlight, your recent work is suspended!"

What?

Hua Hua Chenyu jerked his head up, then sank it deeply again, his eyes filled with despair.

…

"Brother Su, Brother Su." The junior assistant ran over holding a sheet of paper.

"Just now the production team called—they said Hua Hua Chenyu has withdrawn."

Oh? Su Meng paused, but didn't care.

Whether he withdraws or not—what's it to me?

The junior assistant grinned.

"The production team just sent over a list of celebrities who want to join the show."

"They want to hear your opinion, Brother Su—who do you want to invite?"

"Also, what suggestions do you have for the format of the next episode?"

What? Su Meng was completely stunned.

When did I become this influential?

Do they really need my opinion on who to invite and how to film?

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head.

"Let the production team decide—I'm just a guest."

"Hmm… better keep it quiet; too many fans might cause trouble."

"Also, Bai Xiao Ling's popularity has been good lately."

"If she's free, it'd be great if she came as a guest star for one episode."

Got it! The junior assistant nodded as if she understood.

So the netizens' guesses were right—how long has it been since they last saw each other?

Is Brother Su already missing Sister Bai Xiao Ling?

What she didn't know was that Su Meng was thinking…

It's been a long time—has Bai Xiao Ling's luck value CD worn off yet?

…

Online, netizens had erupted.

Countless people flooded Su Meng's Weibo with frantic comments.

"Fuck you, Su Meng! Give me Xiu Qin back!"

"Are you even human? Bai Xiao Ling was such a good girl—how could you blow her away in one shot?"

"Second Battalion Commander, where the hell is your Italian cannon? Blow Su Meng to pieces!"

"I admit the drama was well-made, but killing Xiu Qin was going too far!"

Many others were comforting Bai Xiao Ling's Weibo with messages.

"Don't cry, Xiu Qin—I'm going to beat up Su Meng right now!"

"Lord Thousand Fingers, you died so tragically!"

"Rationally speaking, this scene is truly classic—but I just can't accept Xiao Ling's death!"

"Hey, wake up! Xiu Qin is dead, not Bai Xiao Ling!"

"Wait a minute—Bai Xiao Ling just swept the European and American music scenes—why are you crying here?"

They were making a huge fuss, but Su Meng's and Bai Xiao Ling's Weibos remained completely still, as if they hadn't seen a thing.

Just as everyone was shouting and clamoring, the official Weibo of "The Down-to-Earth Big Star" suddenly posted a message.

"Episode five will begin filming in three days!"

"This episode warmly invites international superstar @Bai Xiao Ling as a guest star."

"Also: due to scheduling conflicts, @Hua Hua Chenyu has temporarily withdrawn from filming; future arrangements pending."

As soon as this message appeared, the entire internet exploded again.

"Fuck! I thought this show was dead—turns out it's still alive?"

"Aaaaaah, my Lord Thousand Fingers—I finally get to see you!"

"Since sweeping the European and American music scenes, is this Xiu Qin's first public appearance?"

"Hurry up, time— I can't wait anymore!"

"Hmph, hmph, hmph, I just want to see if Su Meng has the face to show up when he sees Xiuqin."

"Su Meng, congratulations, congratulations!"

"Congratulations, Junior Uncle!"

As soon as they saw Su Meng, the others rushed over, congratulating him repeatedly.

Deng Ziqi even jumped over and grabbed him.

"Su Meng! I didn't wear pants today... ah, pfft! I didn't wear leather pants!"

"You can't go back on your word; you have to write me a song!"

Su Meng shook his head, equally helpless.

"Long time no see. How has everyone been lately?"

"I've been so bored lately I'm in pain, just waiting for you, Director Su, to grace me with a role."

Boss Yang spoke up first.

Liu Tianxian also spoke with a smile on her face.

"Same here. I've been very free lately, with not too many work assignments."

"Eh? That doesn't sound right?" Xiao Yueyue said, puzzled.

"Didn't Director Zhang invite you to star in 'Man Jiang Hong'? Didn't you accept?"

Liu Tianxian shook her head and said.

"I already promised Su Meng to star in his new drama, so I rejected Director Zhang."

"No way?!" Xiao Yueyue was instantly dumbfounded.

"Junior Uncle, you're filming a new drama? Why didn't you ask me?"

"I'm your most favorite Junior Nephew!"

Su Meng tapped him on the head and said in a bad mood.

"You don't fit the role; you're too ugly!"

You're too ugly!

Too ugly!

Ugly...

Xiao Yueyue instantly felt terrible all over.

Boss Yang wore a look of triumph.

"Su Meng's new drama is a youth idol drama, and you... hehehe..."

What? Xiao Yueyue instantly froze.
