Ye Wanwan’s gaze was locked on him, preventing him from escaping her gaze. “Understood?”
Luo Chen was still digesting what she meant by her third statement, but when he heard what she said, he nodded subconsciously.
Ye Wanwan was unsatisfied. “Speak up.”
Luo Chen hurriedly responded, “Understood!”
Ye Wanwan’s expression then became gentler. “If I really wanted to do anything to you, I would’ve done it much earlier – why would I wait till now? What I see in you is your real value.”
“I know many managers are akin to pimps – not only do they have unspoken rules with the artists under them, but they even make their artists drink and sleep with them.”
“Because of this practice in the showbiz, those artists who are serious about acting and want to walk the right path become fools in the eyes of others instead.”
“But I can guarantee that I will never force you to do those things; I’ll be with you every step of the way and you only have to focus on one thing–acting well!”
“But this is based on the premise that you’re worth making me spend so much energy on you!”
When he heard that, Luo Chen’s face turned much warmer as he said firmly, “I will work hard.”
Ye Wanwan sat on the sofa and looked at him sternly. “Not only do you have to work hard, but you have to fight with your back to the river [1]; this is your only chance for a comeback.”
“You know very well yourself that Zhou Wen Bin has been keeping an eye on us. The only reason why we succeeded this time was all because we grabbed hold at a key moment and were in the right place at the right time, so he couldn’t stop us even if he wanted to.”
“If you fail this time, all the efforts you put in would go to waste and you might never get such a good opportunity again in your lifetime!”
“Got it.”
“It’s good that you understand. Go and have an early night and we’ll talk about your script tomorrow.”
“En.”

Si family’s old residence.
The old madam looked at the stack of documents in the brown paper bag and her fingers trembled vigorously. “This… this is simply…”
A well-dressed socialite sat next to the old madam and said worriedly, “Grandma, don’t be too agitated! I didn’t dare to show you all this before because I was worried you’d get upset!”
The old madam looked at the stack of documents regarding Ye Wanwan in the paper bag and was filled with disbelief and wrath. “Are all these legitimate?”
The socialite quickly replied, “Without a doubt! Grandma, if you don’t believe them, you can do a check yourself!”
“Grandma, I hope you don’t mind me being nosey. I heard a few bad things about this Miss Ye from my sisters in the circle, but I didn’t really believe them at first. After all, I trust in 9th brother’s taste but they made it sound so convincing and I was really worried about 9th brother, so I went to investigate by myself. I didn’t know the truth till I went to check myself and when I did, who knew I would find so many unbelievable things…”
“This Miss Ye not only took drugs, but she’s promiscuous–she was chasing other men while dating 9th brother… this… this is simply…”
“Our 9th brother is such an outstanding man – how could he date such a disgraceful woman?”
The socialite’s voice was full of indignation.
The old madam shut her eyes. After a while, she finally suppressed all the emotions in her eyes and said, “Alright, I got it. You may go now!”
The socialite furrowed her brows. “Grandma, what are you planning to do with this Miss Ye? I heard that 9th brother is completely head over heels for this woman; I’m afraid you’re the only person who could convince 9th brother!”
The old madam looked sharply at her. “I know what to do, Qin Yu. Watch your mouth – you must not let anyone know about this.”
