“Please sit down.”

Zhang Enyi politely asked his assistant to call Lin Xi and Brother Liu over.

The two of them sat down.

During the meal break, Zhang Enyi’s expression was calm. Lin Xi had a feeling that the matter was about to be revealed.

Brother Liu also sensed it and waited quietly for Zhang Enyi to speak.

“The actual filming lasted less than one and a half weeks,” Zhang Enyi said. “But I’m satisfied with the effect, especially with Little Xi’s performance.”

Lin Xi, who had yet to become a top brand, could only smile and thank him.

Brother Liu said, “Director, please take good care of her. She will work hard.”

Zhang Enyi was silent for a moment before looking at Brother Liu. “Chen Che’s variety sense is qualitatively different from Little Xi’s at the newcomer stage. His planning plot is outstanding. His performance in the previous episode was already obvious.”

He explained to Lin Xi, “It’s not that you’re bad. There’s a gender factor here. After all, men dominate funny topics. He looks experienced and can even drive the atmosphere.”

Lin Xi looked at Brother Liu and told Zhang Enyi, “He’s very helpful. I’ve learned a lot.”

Zhang Enyi said to Lin Xi, “This is my request. The new member needs to integrate as soon as possible. As for the fan interaction, he knows his limits. Luo Heng’s team has already expressed their stance.”

Zhang Enyi told the two of them, “If you have any objections, you can discuss it with me.”

Lin Xi lowered her head in silence. Zhang Enyi ignored her and focused on Brother Liu’s reaction.

Brother Liu pondered for a moment and smiled. “Director, it’s already like this…”

Zhang Enyi approached and said, “It’s fine. If you have anything to say, just say it.”

However, just as Brother Liu was about to say something, Zhang Enyi suddenly interrupted, “But let me say something first.”

Zhang Enyi looked at Brother Liu. “The production team of ‘Let’s Go’ doesn’t allow managers and assistants to travel together, but in view of Lin Xi’s new membership and her status as a female guest, she can bring an assistant.”

Zhang Enyi examined Brother Liu and adjusted his glasses. “After this episode is over, you can go back. President Zeng has something to tell me.”

Brother Liu fell silent again, and his smile disappeared.

Lin Xi did not seem to hear him. She only turned around and looked at Chen Che, who was chatting and laughing with Zhao Chao and the other members not far away.

Chen Che seemed to sense her gaze and turned around to meet her eyes.

Lin Xi secretly glanced at Chen Che and turned around without saying anything. She only watched as Zhang Enyi and Brother Liu “communicate”.

“Director.”

Brother Liu’s expression was ugly, but he still forced a smile. “Lin Xi is a girl. This is her first time participating in a show. I have to accompany…”

After a pause, Brother Liu glanced at Zhao Chao. “Isn’t Brother Chao’s manager here?”

Zhang Enyi nodded. “Only Brother Chao’s manager is around to serve other artists. This is the rule. Brother Song and even Luo Heng have to abide by it.”

Zhang Enyi smiled and said, “That’s not the most important thing. The key is that you’re too involved in our production.”

He frowned and pointed at Chen Che. “I personally invited the guests. You’re actually already pointing at his nose and scolding him today?”

He examined Brother Liu. “Is Windrun so arrogant? You don’t even bother to hide anything?”

Brother Liu was helpless. “I’m only targeting him. Besides, you don’t know how he treats Lin Xi…”

Zhang Enyi waved his hand impatiently. “I don’t care.”

He gestured to Brother Liu. “What I saw was that you guys wanted to settle Luo Heng after entering the production team. I didn’t say anything and even helped persuade him. If you guys can’t settle it, he won’t agree. You guys don’t like me arranging for others.”

Then, Zhang Enyi nodded and said, “Alright, it’s alright. I’ve already separated them this episode. Consider it as giving your company enough face. Ask Zhao Chao, Jin Song, and even Luo Heng. Who has opposed my decision?”

Zhang Enyi did not give Brother Liu a chance to catch his breath at all. He continued passionately, “Why are you so special? The beautiful atmosphere that was originally filmed for the new season has been destroyed by you!”

“I’m telling you, it’s not just once or twice. Many members have reported your problems to me. Is your company doing this on purpose?”

Brother Liu hurriedly explained, “Director, please understand. Don’t be biased, okay?”

Zhang Enyi waved his hand. “That’s all. If you have any objections, get President Zhang to call me now. I still want to ask what she’s thinking?! Does a production team have to revolve around you?”

After saying that, he gestured to his assistant. The assistant went forward and said to Brother Liu, “Sorry to trouble you!”

Brother Liu took a few deep breaths and stood up to say to Lin Xi, “Let’s go!”

“Where are you going?” Zhang Enyi widened his eyes and stood up. “You’re taking her away just because I told you to? Is the contract fake? Are you going to withdraw from the show on her behalf?”

Lin Xi could not remain silent. Her face was red. Although he was talking to Brother Liu, wasn’t talking to Brother Liu the same as talking to her?

“Director, that’s not what Brother Liu meant.” Lin Xi gestured to Brother Liu. “You can go back first. Tell President Zhang that she definitely needs to communicate with Zhang Enyi.”

Brother Liu sighed and turned to leave.

“Director, don’t mind him.”

Lin Xi still wanted to persuade Zhang Enyi to sit down.

Zhang Enyi stared at the place where Brother Liu had disappeared and frowned at Lin Xi. “Little Lin, can’t you control your manager? Can’t you feedback to your company? Do you know how much Chen Che has done for you?”

Lin Xi lowered her head and bit her lip.

Zhang Enyi continued, “Originally, I wanted to arrange for you to be in the same group as him for the show today. Of course, I didn’t agree when your company didn’t want you to be together. However, Chen Che himself expressed that he wanted to go along with your company and leave a good impression on it. He begged me to separate you and even promised me that the show’s effect wouldn’t be affected, so I agreed.”

Lin Xi looked up in surprise. “He… he asked for it?”

Zhang Enyi chuckled and said, “Last night, he brought me takeout. We chatted for a long time. He wanted to help you, but did you know that he had just been unfrozen by the company and returned to work? No one paid attention to him, but he even called Chu Zhengfei and Liang Mi. They didn’t pick up. Your company is too much. They keep saying that Chen Che wants to ride on your popularity.”

Zhang Enyi paused for a moment. “To be honest, in the beginning, Chen Che took advantage of the two of you as a couple. But now that the two episodes have been recorded, he no longer relies on you. His variety sense, talent, appearance, and so on are enough to stay. I’m trying my best to make your image clearer. Your persona is thin and you lack experience for the show. I hope that he can bring you along and let you benefit easily. He can also perform better.”

Lin Xi bit her lip and did not say a word.

Zhang Enyi sighed and comforted Lin Xi. “I’m not targeting you. Your performance and quality are very good. It’s just that your manager is too much.”

Zhang Enyi continued, “Go and prepare. Let your company communicate with me.”

He added, “Let me tell you, whether Chen Che stays or not has nothing to do with you. Your company doesn’t have to worry about him all the time. At least in this show, he helped me a lot.”

Lin Xi avoided his gaze and nodded. “I understand, Director.”

Zhang Enyi sighed. “Also, what position does your company have against you? If Chen Che wasn’t worried about this, your manager would have been beaten up just now. It’s too insulting…”

Lin Xi was speechless.

“What happened just now?” Luo Heng asked curiously.

Of course, Chen Che would not tell him.

Jiao Xiaofu and Luo Heng watched Lin Xi and Zhang Enyi talk together without saying anything.

Luo Heng asked directly, “Did you quarrel with her manager again?”

Before Chen Che could answer, Jiao Xiaofu said in surprise, “Again?!”

Luo Heng smiled. “Little Xi’s manager always said that Chen Che was trying to ride on her popularity and refused to let him get close. He exploded today..”
