As Xia Wei spoke, she seemed to have thought of something. She looked at Huo Feng and Ye Ting’s faces and continued, “But if the two of you are interested, you can be Jian Tan’s guest star for an episode! I heard from my manager that there’s such a plan for this show. That is if you don’t dislike reality shows.”

Dr. Huo was a person who liked new things very much. After hearing Xia Wei’s suggestion, his eyes lit up. “Really? I don’t mind it. Of course, it’s good to be able to use the two of you to appear on such a popular show!”

Seeing that Huo Feng was so interested, Xia Wei looked at Jian Tan from the side in amusement. She teased playfully, “You already have such a famous superstar friend like Teacher Jian. Why do you still look like you haven’t seen the world?”

The person who said it was unintentional, and the listener did not feel that she had offended him in any way. Instead, as bystanders, Wei Xi and Ding Jing were secretly unhappy with Xia Wei’s “haven’t seen the world”!

“Isn’t it just a variety show? What’s so smug about participating in a few episodes? Xia Wei, you’re really naively cute!” After watching Jian Tan take good care of Xia Wei for the entire night, Ding Jing had really had enough. Her eyes were filled with jealousy and disdain as she stared at Xia Wei.

Wei Xi naturally knew Ding Jing’s temper. Even if she could endure her anger for Jian Tan, she could not pretend to be deaf and mute for the entire meal.

Seeing that she could not take it anymore and exploded, Wei Xi heaved a sigh of relief.

He pretended not to understand and continued on, “[Heartthrob TA]? I’ve heard of this show before. It’s very popular with China’s young audience, right? Hmph, actually, its theme content is very exciting, and the way it’s broadcasted is very novel. As long as domestic celebrities can take the opportunity to participate, it’s a very ‘sensible’ choice.”

“After all, the variety show audience in the country is very young now. It’s very normal for them to be interested in such a reality show.”

What Wei Xi meant was that no matter who participated in this show, they could use the show’s interest to increase their popularity. It had nothing to do with the celebrities themselves. He was trying to belittle Xia Wei’s smug look because of this.

Seeing that Xia Wei’s attention was on him, Wei Xi smiled fearlessly and continued without any pause, “Actually, as actors, you have to focus on filming. You won’t be afraid of being forgotten by the audience if you have outstanding film and television works. Don’t you think so, Xia Wei?”

Actually, the moment Wei Xi spoke up for Ding Jing, Jian Tan’s aura had already darkened. He knew that Wei Xi doted on Ding Jing, but this did not mean that he could let Wei Xi mock Xia Wei like this!

Just as Wei Xi finished speaking, Jian Tan was about to warn him, but Xia Wei reached out and stopped him.

Jian Tan heard Xia Wei say. “Mr. Wei is right. I won’t refute that. But let me ask you, how do you know that I’m not focused on filming? Mr. Wei, you speak so high up in the air. May I ask if you have any especially famous works? Can you tell me one or two so that I can learn from them?”

As Xia Wei spoke, she slowly let go of Jian Tan’s hand and continued, “No actor who really loves acting will forget what their career is. If it weren’t for the fact that there are many directors like Director Wei in the huge film and television industry who look at people with prejudice, why would actors like us worry about not having a chance to succeed?”

“Director Wei looks down on actors who are well-known through reality shows. Do you have any particularly good suggestions? Or can you give people like us more chances to be seen? You’re not in a hurry to deny that you don’t have such intentions. Just ask yourself. You don’t have to explain it to me.”

Xia Wei smiled lightly as she spoke. There was a hint of sarcasm in her smile. “You have to know that not all actors are born with a golden finger and a huge background. They have been secretly working hard for many years before you can see them! Hence, you actually don’t have the right to secretly mock others. Do you understand what I mean?”

As Xia Wei was saying these words, there were two typical bright figures with “gold fingers” and strong backgrounds sitting beside her.. That was why everyone felt that it was especially thought-provoking and introspective!
