On his way back, Huo Lin'an received a call from Meng Yunting.

"Look what you've done! Meng Tingwan went to our house yesterday and made some threats. If Guo Minghui wakes up and tells her what happened that night, do you know what the consequences will be?"

Meng Yunting rarely gets angry, but right now he's so angry he's about to explode.

Huo Lin'an didn't say a word, but his fingers gripped the edge of the phone tightly.

He knew last night that Meng Tingwan had handed the person over to the police, but that person was probably already dead by now.

"Rest assured, I will not allow anyone to threaten our plans."

"Hmph! It had better be that way, otherwise all my hard work over the years will be ruined by you."

After saying that, Meng Yunting hung up the phone.

Huo Lin'an took the phone away from his ear, his face very unpleasant, and his eyes filled with malice.

"Mr. Huo, that man is dead."

The assistant turned to him and said.

-

At the same time, Meng Tingwan, who had just finished the opening ceremony, also received the news.

It was Cheng Yu calling her. "Listen, the people at the police station say someone committed suicide."

"Suicide?" Meng Tingwan's brows furrowed deeply again. "How could she commit suicide so easily? Didn't she say anything?"

"No, and no outsiders have come to visit."

It's really strange that he committed suicide without explaining anything or having anyone visit him.

"Cheng Yu, could you help me check her family background, see who else is in her family, and her recent bank statements?"

If you're doing something for money, there will definitely be income and expenses.

This transfer record is the key to our breakthrough.

"I've already had someone investigate, and we'll have the results soon. You focus on your work; I'll handle these things."

Cheng Yu didn't want to distract her.

Meng Tingwan didn't have the energy to deal with this at the moment, so she listened to Cheng Yu's advice.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your news."

After hanging up the phone, Meng Tingwan went to her RV.

After the opening ceremony, there will be a script reading in the afternoon, so she needs to prepare in advance.

An'an had already prepared things for her. After escorting her into the RV, she went to coordinate with the crew.

Fang Jia is quite busy because of Chen Musheng's matter; she has been busy contacting various resources these past few days.

As Meng Tingwan was drinking water, she saw Fang Jie come up with her phone and asked, "Sister Fang, is there a problem with the collaboration?"

Fang Jia smiled upon hearing this, picked up her things from her seat, and sat down opposite her. "No problem. After those brands found out that he was me and I signed him, they all came to me for collaborations. Of course, they also need your fame."

It can be said that some of the endorsements and drama roles that Chen Musheng is currently able to secure come from Meng Tingwan.

Speaking of this, Fang Jia was genuinely curious, "Xiao Wan, are you really not going to tell me the truth? Why are you helping him so much?"

Meng Tingwan paused slightly, her mouth still holding the straw, then placed the cup on the table and gave a slight smile. "Sister Fang, didn't I tell you all that the other day?"

"Tch, we've been working together for so long, do you think I don't know what kind of person you are?" Fang Jia didn't believe it at all, but she was afraid that Meng Tingwan was really hiding something huge from her, and she had a bad feeling.

So she took Meng Tingwan's hand and said earnestly, "Xiaowan, you must tell me if anything happens, okay? Don't keep everything bottled up inside. I'm your manager, I've seen it all."

This was the first time Meng Tingwan had ever seen her treat her like this, and she was deeply moved.

Having lived a second life, she felt that she had gained a clearer understanding of many people and things.

So it wasn't a wasted trip.

“Okay, I know, Sister Fang is the best to me,” Meng Tingwan smiled at her with her eyes narrowed.

Fang Jia reached out and tapped her forehead, saying helplessly, "It's good that you know."

At that moment, there was a knock on the RV door.

Fang Jia went over and opened the door, only to find Xu Jiaming, the male lead of the drama, standing outside.

"Is there something you need, Ms. Xu?"

Fang Jia asked very politely.

Xu Jiaming peered into the car and said somewhat nervously, "Sister Fang, is Teacher Meng here? I'd like to say a few words to her."

Meng Tingwan, who was in the car, heard it too, and called out to Fang Jia, "Let him get in."

Fang Jia didn't say anything more and made room for him to go in.

Xu Jiaming was surprised that Meng Tingwan would actually meet with him alone.

Amidst the surprise, there was also joy and excitement.

"Thank you, Sister Fang."

He bent down towards Fang Jia.

Fang Jia nodded slightly. Seeing him go inside, she got out of the car and closed the door behind her.

Inside the RV, Xu Jiaming slowly walked up to Meng Tingwan, nervously unsure of what to do with his hands.

Meng Tingwan saw through his thoughts and took the initiative to say, "Sit down, don't be nervous."

Xu Jiaming then looked up at her and realized that he couldn't meet her gaze at all.

The woman in front of me was dressed in a style reminiscent of the Republican era, wearing a black satin cheongsam, with a retro hairstyle and makeup, exuding a charming aura.

Even if she just sits there quietly and does nothing, her face and figure alone are enough to attract everyone's attention.

Although I stood very close to her during the opening ceremony, it wasn't nearly as close as it is now.

"Meng, Teacher Meng."

Xu Jiaming considered himself a man who had seen a lot, but he was still nervous, especially in front of Meng Tingwan.

Meng Tingwan felt both helpless and amused by his behavior. "Sit down and talk. I'm not a bad person. Why are you so nervous?"

Xu Jiaming didn't dare to look her in the eye, but he still obediently sat down.

"It's because you're so beautiful, I..."

"Thank you, but you're not bad either. People who can debut as the center of a boy group overseas are all very talented and can endure hardship."

Meng Tingwan's words were not a business compliment, but a genuine compliment.

Xu Jiaming was surprised. He looked up, his eyes, which held the same look he had when looking at a dog, were filled with excitement. "Teacher Meng has also paid attention to me?"

Meng Tingwan nodded lightly, "Since I've taken on this role, of course I need to know what kind of person my male lead is."

"If you've already investigated, why do you still need to?" Upon hearing this, Xu Jiaming knew that Meng Tingwan must have already investigated.

"So you came to see me about this, right? You want to ask me why I took this role?"

Xu Jiaming nodded seriously, "Yes, because the prospects for every role I've taken on haven't been very optimistic."

Meng Tingwan doesn't consider herself a saint, but seeing him like this, she couldn't help but say, "The entertainment industry isn't a black-and-white place. Many things aren't what they seem from the outside. The only thing that fans and those who pay attention can see and feel is how serious you are about your work, whether you can capture their hearts with every character you create and every moment you act together."

"Since we have chosen this profession, we can only bear the pressure and public opinion from the outside world. As for the rest, that is not something we can control. What we can do is to do our job well and discard those bad things. The audience will see it."
