91: Chapter 91 A Private Conversation with Song Mei

After leaving his teacher's house, Lin Chuyan kept thinking about "Fengshen" in his mind.

After reviewing the characters inside, no matter how he chose, he liked the character Yang Jian the most.

Ji Fa, Yin Jiao... none of them are as dashing as Erlang Shen, right?

Especially the Erlang Shen from his past life; after being played by Beauty Jiao, he embodied heroism, handsomeness, and divinity all in one. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the ceiling of the industry, right?

Since this world has never seen a figure as peerless and magnificent as Beauty Jiao...

Then, this is his opportunity.

The next day.

Lin Chuyan got up early, and after washing up, he rushed to the Tianxing building.

He wasn't meeting his girlfriend.

Ruan Xingyu wouldn't return to Beijing until the afternoon, and it wasn't convenient for him to pick her up at the airport. He got up early only because someone else had an appointment with him—Ruan Xingyu's manager, Manager Song Mei.

He could roughly guess what the other party wanted to talk about. The reason he readily agreed was because he also felt it was necessary to put the people around Ruan Xingyu at ease.

Whether it was Sun Yiyi or Manager Song Mei, getting along with them was always the right thing to do.

As long as the other party wasn't there to break up his relationship with Ruan Xingyu, Lin Chuyan would definitely greet them with a smile.

Thinking of this, he became a bit uncertain again... She wouldn't really be here to persuade them to break up, would she?

Perhaps in her eyes, even though he had released a few songs, in terms of status, he was no different from those small idols?

Hiss... he didn't want to guess anymore; he would just deal with it when they met.

Manager Song Mei didn't think that much; she actually didn't mind Ruan Xingyu dating.

After all, considering her age—the past two years were her career ascent period, so that was fine, but now her status in the music industry was stable, and she would be 28 after the New Year. Who doesn't date at 28?

If she wants to date, then let her date.

The only premise is that the partner must be reliable.

As a manager, her artist had secretly started dating. Although such things were very common in the entertainment industry, if she didn't know, that was one thing, but once she knew, she had to figure out the other person's background to feel at ease.

She wasn't afraid of her dating; she was only afraid that the partner wouldn't be worthy of her in every aspect.

Lin Chuyan had a good appearance and had released a few songs, but besides that? She was well aware of how bad his previous reputation was.

It was necessary to invite him out for a good chat to help her artist screen him.

Counting it up, this should be the second time she had seen Lin Chuyan. Was the last time also at Tianxing? At that time, Xingxing introduced Lin Chuyan to her, and everything she said was praise...

Thinking about it now, they should have already been together back then, right?

Tsk tsk.

A knock on the office door sounded.

"Please come in."

Someone pushed the door open and walked in.

"Manager Song Mei, long time no see."

"Come, sit."

The man in front of her was smiling at her; the smile looked harmless and very sincere.

Because of the sincerity, it seemed even more charming.

Manager Song Mei was a bit dazed for a moment; it was hard to connect him with the person on Weibo who pointed at the sky and cursed the earth.

Looking at his smile, he seemed like a puppy; looking at his build, he seemed like a wolf dog; but in reality, was he a little mad dog?

In short, the contrast was a bit large...

However, she could understand why Ruan Xingyu liked him so much.

With a man like this smiling at you, who wouldn't be dazed?

Manager Song Mei spoke first: "The two of you are quite compatible in terms of looks."

This sounded like a compliment, but Lin Chuyan always felt that the other party had something else to say.

Did she mean that other than looks, nothing else was compatible? That looks alone were far from enough?

Lin Chuyan smiled: "Manager Song Mei might not know, but she and I are actually in an online relationship. At first, we were just chatting online, and then we slowly started to like each other."

The implication was simple—this liking was more because of the attraction of each other's personalities.

Manager Song Mei was actually a bit surprised to hear him say this: "Online dating turned into reality? That shouldn't be the case, right?"

"Maybe this is fate! Neither Xingxing nor I have dated before, and we both know that falling for someone is not an easy thing. But precisely because of that, this relationship is even more precious, isn't it?"

Does that mean your love is stronger than gold?

Manager Song Mei nodded and changed the topic: "By the way, I haven't thanked you yet for the paparazzi incident last time."

"It's nothing; I was one of the involved parties. That wasn't just for her, but also for myself."

"The main thing is that your response was very good, which allowed public opinion to remain on our side."

"No, no, no, it's mainly because no one wants to believe that Xingxing would be with someone like me."

Manager Song Mei was amused.

"You are actually quite... frank."

She didn't know how to describe it anymore.

Lin Chuyan shrugged: "This is called having self-awareness. I have many anti-fans and a low status; everyone knows this, so there is no need to avoid it."

He had always not covered this up; to him, the past was already in the past.

Manager Song Mei shook her head: "You don't need to belittle yourself; everyone has seen your efforts since your comeback... You are also a Singer now."

Seeing her unfinished expression, Lin Chuyan couldn't help but add a sentence for her: "But?"

"But this is not enough." Manager Song Mei was considering how to phrase it appropriately.

Lin Chuyan saw her dilemma and smiled: "You can just speak your mind. Isn't that why we arranged to meet today?"

Manager Song Mei nodded and didn't beat around the bush anymore: "Then I will be straightforward."

"Xingxing has praised you in front of me for being very hardworking. In my opinion, this word means that you haven't achieved any results yet.

Since your comeback, you have filmed web movies, web dramas, and movies, but they were all small supporting roles. As for the next project, you probably don't even know where it is. Wanting to play a lead role is even more out of reach.

You sing well, but the Songwriting for "rebirth" was all given to you by Lin Mo. Perhaps you have a good relationship, but what if one day he writes something and doesn't give it to you to sing? I find it hard to believe that you have the resources to get good songs elsewhere.

In other words, your current achievements are like a pavilion in the wind; they are not stable.

You might not believe it, but I'm saying these things not to belittle you, but because I'm worried that your statuses don't match and you will encounter too many difficulties in the future.

You are on the hot search every day now, being chased and scolded by anti-fans; half of it is because of Xingxing, am I right? If the two of you go public, this situation will only become more serious.

How should I put it? Just having a good-looking face is not enough, and just thinking about how much you love each other is also not enough. These are all superficial and cannot make up for the gap between you two.

I didn't want to say things that would offend people originally; after all, I have no right to interfere with whom Xingxing likes or wants to be with, so why should I be the bad guy?

But I am her manager; if I don't say some things, no one else will. I have to be responsible for her, and I hope you can understand."

Lin Chuyan listened very carefully.

One can only say that having the system is awesome; even if the other party spoke so bluntly, it still couldn't hurt him a bit...

And putting himself in her shoes, she must be standing on Ruan Xingyu's side; why should she consider his feelings? Or consider his self-esteem?

If he were to become angry out of shame because of this, it might instead play right into her hands—that would only show that he was immature and not smart.

It's just that after listening for a long time, it seems like this sister doesn't know about many things?

His girlfriend didn't tell her the details...

Lin Chuyan spoke up.

"Actually, Xingxing has always wanted to make our relationship public; she mentioned it to me, but I refused."

Manager Song Mei raised her eyebrows and didn't speak.

"My thought is also very simple." Lin Chuyan smiled again, "I don't care about being scolded; I have long since forged a suit of armor. I only worry about one thing, which is that Xingxing will be cyberbullied. So I agree with what you said, and I don't think this is any belittlement."

"However, there are two things that Manager Song Mei seems to have gotten wrong."

"First, regarding the film aspect, I am not very worried, because Li Mujian is my teacher, and I am his last disciple."

Lin Chuyan didn't give the other party time to think.

"Second, Lin Mo is just a pen name." Lin Chuyan pointed at himself with his right thumb, "I am Lin Mo."

Clang.

The coffee cup in Manager Song Mei's hand slipped.
