Director Zhang walked over with a smile and shook Shi Man’s hand warmly. “Aiya, Miss Shi has personally come to the production team. Our office is really honored. Please come in. Assistant, bring the office chair over.”

“Yes.” The assistant quickly rushed to the office next door and borrowed a chair.

Shi Man glanced at Lin Yue, who was sitting beside Shi He, and smiled as she asked her assistant to help place the chair beside the director.

Director Zhang was immediately flattered and personally poured her a cup of hot tea. “Miss Shi, you haven’t eaten yet, right? How about I arrange for you and Xiao He to go out to eat together later?”

“No need. You guys should continue. Don’t worry about me. I’m here to see my brother.” Shi Man called for everyone to sit down. Her seat was facing Lin Yue, so she could see the expression in her eyes clearly.

Director Zhang did not force it. Soon, he organized the actors to start the second round of reading.

Shi Man sat at the side and listened quietly. She did not interrupt or do anything to disturb their work progress. This shocked those in the industry who had heard of Shi Man’s past style.

It was rumored that Shi Man was a spoilt rich daughter who was used to doing whatever she wanted. They did not expect to see her in person today. Not only was her image completely different from the rumors, but she was also a little quieter, making people unable to help but have a good impression of her.

Only Meng Hui knew what her boss was thinking.

Her gaze landed on Lin Yue, who was acting with Shi He. Meng Hui couldn’t help but sweat for her.

After work, in order to welcome Shi Man, Director Zhang took the initiative to get his assistant to book a restaurant. The group sat in their cars and went straight to the cafeteria.

Shi He only had a chance to talk to Shi Man alone when he got out of the car. Before the others arrived, he pulled Shi Man to the corner and asked in a low voice, “Manman, do you have something especially important to do here?”

Shi Man smiled and narrowed her eyes. She said meaningfully, “Brother, can’t 1 just come to see you because 1 miss you?”

Shi He scratched the tip of her nose in amusement. “Of course, I’m happy if you really miss me. But even if you have something else to do, I won’t mind. Just tell me the truth.”

Shi Man raised her eyebrows and smiled. “Brother, don’t you think it’s strange that Lin Yue insisted on fighting against public opinion and starring in this television drama with you?”

Shi He immediately understood what she meant and rubbed her head helplessly. “You’re really thinking too much this time. She’s not doing it for me.”

Shi Man stared at him in surprise.

Shi He softened his heart and explained to her in a soft voice, “Director Zhang is famous for being a big director in the industry. Recently, a few dramas that he has led have become popular online. Moreover, this is the first script that is closest to reality after the waves of popularity. The industry has long fought to snatch the role of this protagonist. It’s not surprising that Lin Yue thinks highly of this drama.”

“That’s not necessarily true.” Shi Man thought of her brothers’ tragic encounters and immediately frowned with an unfriendly expression. “Coming from the Lin family, she definitely didn’t enter the entertainment industry to earn money. I’m worried that she has other motives.”

“Her real motive?”

Shi He had interacted with Lin Yue a few times over the years and had some guesses about her. “I think she might really treat acting as her dream. I even heard that she once soaked in the river for three hours in the cold winter to film. With her status, it can be said that she’s really working hard to achieve this.”

“Brother, so you admire her?” Shi Man pouted sourly.

Shi He couldn’t help but laugh. He hugged her shoulder helplessly and coaxed her patiently, “What are you thinking? I don’t have much interaction with her. 1 heard about this. In short, the industry has a good evaluation of her. She’s a very down-to-earth and hardworking girl.”

“Alright, but 1 have to come into contact with her personally to know.” Shi Man snorted. Her gaze passed Shi He and landed on Lin Yue, who had just gotten out of the car. Her eyes suddenly lit up.

Lin Yue was indeed worthy of being the eldest daughter of the Lin family. The noble aura around her could not be cultivated overnight. Even Shi Man could not help but have a good impression of her. No wonder she had been doing well in the mixed entertainment industry.

Lin Yue seemed to have sensed her gaze. She turned her head slightly and smiled in her direction before walking over under Director Zhang’s lead.

Ning Hui had just returned to the company to do something. When she heard that Shi Man had actually gone to the production team to visit, she hurriedly rushed over, afraid that Shi Man would suddenly change her mind and specially come to the production team to cause trouble for Shi He.

In the past, Shi Man had come to visit, but she liked to throw tantrums wherever she went. She had to be coaxed and pampered before she was willing to be magnanimous and let others continue working.

Ning Hui was really afraid of her. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have thought of such a bad idea in the past to let a group of young hunks circle around her to attract her attention..
