He almost instinctively asked, “So, what are you trying to say? Why are you so concerned about this matter?”
Seeing that Jian Tan was silent and did not answer, the expression in Wu Fan’s eyes changed. He continued in a low voice without any pause, “Or rather, why are you so concerned about Xia Wei?”
The atmosphere in the seven-seater suddenly became a little strange. Big Manager Wu stared at his Best Actor, scrutinizing Jian Tan like an X-ray!
No matter what, they were old friends who had worked together for many years. Naturally, there was some tacit understanding between Jian Tan and Wu Fan. Jian Tan remained silent and did not answer. He only looked at Wu Fan with a deep gaze. Wu Fan’s heart turned cold and he suddenly had an unfriendly signal!
“Jian Tan! Don’t tell me you like Xia Wei?” Big Manager Wu’s expression collapsed as he asked loudly.
Best Actor Jian, who was sitting motionlessly, did not have any special changes in his expression after hearing this. However, a hint of contemplation flashed across his deep and distant eyes.
These emotions on Jian Tan’s face naturally did not escape Wu Fan’s appraisal. Wu Fan swallowed the words in his throat.
…..
He realized that Jian Tan in front of him seemed to have started to think seriously because of what he had just said!
“…” Wu Fan.
After this strange atmosphere lasted for about five seconds, Jian Tan replied softly, “1 don’t think I like her. 1 just think she’s quite special and very beautiful.”
Wu Fan had never realized that his boss liked good looks. His heart seemed to be in turmoil.
As he thought of retorting Jian Tan that he was prettier, he forced himself not to believe that Jian Tan, this old iron tree, seemed to have really bloomed!
However, when he saw the unconscious smile on Jian Tan’s face, he felt that it was over. Their Jian Tan seemed to be on the verge of falling in love. This matter was too unexpected. Big Manager Wu felt that Jian Tan needed to slow down.
When Jian Tan came back to her senses, she realized Wu Fan’s strange and funny silence. He couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong? Why do you look like your heart is dead? I haven’t done anything!”
Wu Fan raised his hand and gestured for Jian Tan to pause. After taking a few deep breaths, he asked in a hoarse voice, “What else do you want to do? Dating as a celebrity in the entertainment industry is one of the biggest taboos. Don’t take it too hard! I still want you to be popular for two more years. 1 want to earn two more houses in City A!”
Jian Tan chuckled and looked at Wu Fan, as if he was extremely amused by his manager’s impending disaster. He asked in a good mood, “Why? Do 1 usually eat less or drink less? Do you take me as your money tree? Do you still have a conscience?”
He seemed to have thought of something, and the light in his eyes slowly became restrained and solemn. He took a deep breath and continued, “I’m not a celebrity, let alone the idol you’re talking about, because 1 don’t think I’m worthy of being admired by others. I’m just an actor, and this is just a profession. I’m not superior.”
Wu Fan was slightly stunned by Jian Tan’s words.
“Actors are also humans. We’re ordinary people who also eat and fall sick. It should be very normal for us to fall in love with someone we like, right? I don’t know why everyone wants to ‘deify’ the people in this industry. We don’t seem to have a few more arms than ordinary people, and there’s nothing special about us. I’m just an ordinary person, um… or rather, a relatively rich ordinary person. There’s nothing very outstanding about me!”
“If I meet someone I like, 1 will pursue her openly. You know that I don’t play the secret relationship game!” Jian Tan said slowly. He raised his eyebrows slightly, looking very noble and handsome.
He glanced at the stunned Wu Fan and thought for a moment before continuing, “1 don’t need some fans who can’t accept that I’m not perfect. I’m a person, not a symbol of perfection in their hearts. Do you understand what I mean?”
Wu Fan came back to his senses and turned to look at Jian Tan with a serious expression. He was not an idiot and knew Jian Tan so well. Naturally, he understood what Jian Tan meant.
He nodded and sighed deeply. He replied helplessly, “I understand, Ancestor©. Don’t worry.”
