Chapter 42 (1/2)

Du Manqing was very proud but she also had the capacity to be proud.

After all, she was the most popular celebrity and had an enormous number of fans. Since she had won the Best Actress Award, she had practically spiraled to the apex of the Chinese entertainment circle.

Ling Sheng’s temper was not bad, but that depended on the other party’s attitude. If she was being treated with a good attitude, she would naturally reciprocate. On the other hand, a bad attitude from the other party would result in indifference on her part.

Thus, Du Manqing’s attitude should have upset her.

“Both of you are here.” Mei Xuelin walked over and said, “You know each other, right? I don’t have to introduce you!”

Ling Sheng smiled. “Yup, we know each other.”

Du Manqing looked up and greeted her. “Sister Mei.”

“Both of you are artists I’m managing. Manqing, you’re already a popular celebrity in the entertainment circle. While I don’t expect you to give Ling Sheng a hand in increasing her popularity, I don’t want to see media reports about discordance and catfights between you two.” Mei Xuelin spoke directly.

There was no beating around the bush.

Her words hit the nail on the head.

“Sister Mei, you must be joking. I quite like Sheng Sheng.” Du Manqing gave a vague answer unindicative of her stance toward Sister Mei’s speech. However, iciness swept across her eyes and her grip on the magazine tightened.

They naturally could not do that on the surface.

However, the addition of an artist working under Sister Mei would reduce the resources that had originally belonged to her.

Sister Mei would not have all her attention on her either.

Since the artist had been brought in by Big Boss Huo, the company might mobilize all its resources to support and propel her to fame.

Hard work was not enough in the entertainment circle. One also needed resources and a willing supporter to spiral oneself to fame.

Now that she had come in, it was possible that she would enjoy the meat while the rest of the artists in the company would not even get to taste the soup.

“You take good care of me, Senior.” Ling Sheng smiled politely.

Both of them knew how to show respect.

“Stop acting all peaceful. How could I not know what the two of you are thinking?

“Let me make this clear. Since both of you are artists working under me, I’ll try my very best to fight for the resources of the company for you.

“The quantity and quality of the resources you want to get will be up to your individual capabilities.
