Ye Fan became the hot topic of the crew, the center of everyone’s attention and discussion.

Those who looked down on Ye Fan and thought he was an outsider parachuting in no longer dared to underestimate him.

At first, many people thought someone valued by Chu Biyao, Luo Jian’an, and Wang Qiang must have an impressive background, here to make a name for themselves or throw their weight around. Now, no one thinks that anymore.

In a luxurious business vehicle, the current hot young male star, Guan Shaoqiu, was lying on the seat inside the car.

Manager Sister Zhao and personal assistant Han Fengxia were standing by serving him.

By Luo Jian’an’s request, Guan Shaoqiu only brought Sister Zhao and Han Fengxia to the set.

At this moment, Guan Shaoqiu was curled up in the car, taking a few cute selfies, and then edited a simple line: The weather is so hot, baby is so sleepy, really want a cold drink.

Guan Shaoqiu played with his phone, posted a Weibo update, and immediately countless fans left comments and shared it below.

"My dear Guanguan, you’ve worked hard."

"The crew is so inhumane, not even providing cooling drinks, a bunch of profiteers."

"Xiao Qiuqiu, it’s not hot at my place, welcoming you to come here to cool off, address..."

"Who the hell do you think you are to call Xiao Qiuqiu like that? Xiao Qiuqiu is mine."

"Baby, don’t be afraid, watch my thirty-six transformations summon a refreshing little rain."

"Who wrote the unparalleled work in history, the ’Li Sao’ without rhyme? Answer: Sima Qian, a eunuch, part of the eunuch faction! Who improved paper making, inheriting human civilization? Answer: Cai Lun, a eunuch! Who suppressed side rebellion for the Tang, pacifying the southwest barbarians? Answer: Yang Sixu, a eunuch! Who managed state affairs, pulling the Tang court back from collapse? Answer: Yu Chaoyun, a eunuch!"

Comments flooded in. Most were brainless fans showing concern and affection, some fought over the ownership of Xiao Qiuqiu, naturally there were also nonsensical comments.

Guan Shaoqiu casually glanced at the number of comments and shares, not caring about what was being said.

He put away his phone, smiling. As the current hot young star, he was criticized by several authoritative figures for poor acting skills and a zombie-like expression, receiving much verbal abuse, yet he didn’t care at all.

He acted in many films and TV shows. Although his roles were not profound and he couldn’t bring characters to life, as long as he showed his face and it was credited as his performance, that was enough. Let the stunt double handle the tiring work; as a popular star, he was naturally busy making money.

To hell with acting skills, as long as you can appear on variety shows and have a large fanbase, then you are successful, no matter where you go, you can enjoy delicious food and be warmly received.

As long as someone pays for it, undeniably that makes him successful. Just master acting cute and garnering sympathy, other things like acting skills, you can still make it without them, no worries at all.

Guan Shaoqiu gestured, and Han Fengxia handed over the coffee she was holding.

Guan Shaoqiu took a small sip, and Han Fengxia retrieved the coffee from his hand.

"Who is this Martial Artist?" Guan Shaoqiu asked disinterestedly, referring naturally to Ye Fan.

As the person of interest within the crew, he naturally understood the storm Ye Fan’s appearance brought in the crew.

"Surname Ye, both Luo Jian’an and Wang Qiang address him as Mr. Ye." Manager Sister Zhao said, "As for other identities and real name, if you want to know, we’ll need to dig into it."

"Ye Martial Artist." Guan Shaoqiu casually gave Ye Fan a moniker, sneering, "Just a Martial Artist, what’s the big deal? My bodyguards, all are retired special forces, in this day and age, martial artists are the least valuable."

"For Luo Jian’an and Wang Qiang to value him so much, he must not be an ordinary person." Sister Zhao cautiously reminded.

"Luo Jian’an and Wang Qiang lowering themselves is because they seek something." Guan Shaoqiu ridiculed, "You don’t notice Ye Martial Artist working tirelessly like a donkey for Luo Jian’an and Wang Qiang?"

Sister Zhao glanced without comment, asking, "Guan Shao, are you interested in Mr. Ye?"

"What Mr. Ye, call him Ye Martial Artist." Guan Shaoqiu retorted, "You’re my manager, don’t you have any thoughts?"

"He makes a good martial arts double." Sister Zhao knew Guan Shaoqiu’s shortcomings. There were martial arts doubles, but none as formidable as Ye Fan.

"Go offer a price to bring Ye Martial Artist over to work for me, there will be plenty of money, no less than what Luo Jian’an pays." Guan Shaoqiu demanded arrogantly.

From his perspective, there was no problem money couldn’t solve.

In his mind, Ye Fan was merely a capable martial artist. As long as a monthly salary of thirty to fifty thousand was offered, wouldn’t that ensure obedience and respect?

"That wouldn’t be proper. I think it’s better to wait and discuss with Ye Martial Artist afterwards." Sister Zhao prudently suggested, "After all, Ye Martial Artist was personally driven here by Chu Biyao, we should give some face, poaching him openly would look bad."

As a manager, she held a lower rank before Guan Shaoqiu, so when he insisted on calling Ye Fan ’Ye Martial Artist,’ she followed suit, not daring to oppose Guan Shaoqiu’s wishes.

She upheld her principles, recognizing that attempting to poach someone now would be a reckless move, particularly since Ye Fan was personally brought by Chu Biyao. The underlying situation isn’t clear, reckless action could have unimaginable consequences.

Blatantly poaching would mean going against Chu Biyao; while Guan Shaoqiu didn’t care, as his manager, she had to be thorough in her considerations.

"Do I need to follow Chu Biyao’s lead? Popularity-wise I don’t match Chu Biyao, but do I need to heed her?" Guan Shaoqiu scoffed, "One day, my industry standing will overshadow hers, the so-called national goddess is nothing but a joke."

"Guan Shao, watch your words." Sister Zhao reminded.

"Nothing to worry about, why always so cautiously." Guan Shaoqiu boasted, "It’s a fact that my industry standing now isn’t as high as Chu Biyao’s, but with my growth potential, I will surpass her eventually, that’s certain, this is confidence, no need to be overly cautious."

"Then save such words for the future." Sister Zhao cautiously replied.

"You’re just too cautious." Guan Shaoqiu laughed.

Han Fengxia stood aside, unable to interject, focusing on her duties.

Sister Zhao couldn’t argue with Guan Shaoqiu’s determination, so in front of everyone, proceeded towards Ye Fan, no, Ye Martial Artist.
