195 Getting Information
Lin Zi, who came out to answer the door, was a little surprised to see He Meng. “Why are you here so late at night?”
They lived next door and were all top managers in the industry. Usually, when they bumped into each other, they would naturally exchange a few pleasantries and occasionally complain in the group chat. However, He Meng had probably never taken the initiative to look for them, let alone at this time.
Therefore, when Lin Zi saw her now, he felt that it was a little strange.
“Sister He, are you a rare guest?” Speaking of which, Lin Zi was a year older than He Meng. However, because He Meng was famous and capable in the circle, many people addressed her respectfully as Sister He. Lin Zi followed suit. He opened the door and welcomed He Meng in.
“You sound a little sarcastic.” He Meng didn’t stand on ceremony with him and pushed the duck in her hand in front of him. “To think I wanted to send you some side dishes.”
Lin Zi immediately smelled the braised fragrance coming from the bag. His eyes lit up. Seeing that He Meng was about to retract her hand, he immediately snatched the thing over. He even pretended to be obedient with a bitter expression. “I got involved with a villain and was so angry that I couldn’t sleep at night.”
He was talking about the Xiang Lei incident that was currently causing a commotion online.
He Meng rolled her eyes and pushed his shoulder away as she entered. “Cut it out. It’s just a small matter. How can it bother a big manager like you?” In this industry, any artist who could make a name for themselves was someone with some skills. They were either very capable or their company and team were especially awesome and powerful.
As for a top artist like Ji Jun, other than his own strength, he still had to go through a lot of battles before he could truly stabilize his position. To Ji Jun’s team, such a small commotion could be easily resolved.
Otherwise, He Meng wouldn’t be so tactless. She knew that he was in trouble, but she still came to cause trouble at this time.
When Lin Zi saw her attitude, he knew that He Meng was one who never visits unless she needed something. Hence, he was not anxious when he heard this and patiently spoke to her in an official tone.
He Meng knew that Ji Jun did not like strangers loitering in his house, so she stood at the door and took a look inside. Seeing that Ji Jun was not in the living room, she sat obediently in the courtyard while Lin Zi went to put the duck goods on a plate and brought out a few cans of cold beer.
When He Meng saw this, she instinctively touched her stomach. Drinking cold beer at night and eating braised duck parts was indeed a great enjoyment, but after this meal, she would probably gain two kilograms tomorrow. However, she had a favor to ask, so she could only accompany the gentleman with tears in her eyes.
He Meng thought a little aggrievedly. However, the moment the beer was placed on the table, she immediately opened a can and took a big sip. She sighed comfortably, then picked up a duck wing and took a bite at the place with the most meat.
As she chewed, she asked casually, “Where’s your Best Actor? Why is he asleep so early?”
Lin Zi was also happily gnawing on a duck neck. “Aren’t we participating in the eSports variety show? That’s why he is practicing gaming in the room.”
He Meng glanced at him from the corner of her eye. “Your variety show’s job is so sudden. There was no news at all before.”
Lin Zi couldn’t say that Ji Jun had gone back on his word. He only said vaguely, “Previously, it hasn’t been decided because of the schedule, so it’s not appropriate to tell the public.”
“Our Yu Han also wants to participate in this variety show, so she’s been training hard in the game these days,” He Meng said casually. “If she knew that Best Actor Ji also wanted participate, the two of them could still practice together.”
Lin Zi came to a sudden realization. He was just wondering why Yu Han was suddenly addicted to games while filming. This was not right. So it was to participate in a variety show.
Since Ji Jun wanted to participate in this variety show, as his manager, he naturally had to understand the lineup of guests and the content of the show. Hence, when he heard He Meng’s words, he knew that Yu Han wanted to participate in the ranking competition.
At this moment, something suddenly flashed across Lin Zi’s mind, but he did not catch any thoughts for a moment, so he did not pay much attention to it. He deliberately said, “Why? Did you suddenly come to the door to pull Ji Jun and your Yu Han into an ambiguous relationship to create a hype?”
“How is that possible?” He Meng’s face was filled with gratitude. “It’s not like we’re tired of living.”
As Ji Jun’s manager, Lin Zi hated it when other artists attached themselves to Ji Jun to create hype. He only felt that it was troublesome and disadvantageous. However, when he saw He Meng’s look of disdain and rejection, he felt a little uncomfortable. He couldn’t help but argue, “What did our Ji Jun do to you? He’s a top celebrity. We haven’t even despised you yet, but you already despised us?”
He Meng spat out the duck wing bone in her mouth and pouted in the direction of the room. “Don’t you know what your artist is like?”
