Luo Wei smiled and asked Xu Yi, “How do you feel?”

Xu Yi had already composed her expression and replied in a casual tone, “I’m alright.”

“Just ‘alright’?” Luo Wei did not know whether to laugh or cry. She lowered her head and looked at her watch. “It’s time to board the plane.”

Regarding the matter of Lu Shen sending a warning letter to the media, it was the same as the rumor of Ling Youyou getting close to Lu Shen. It was only spread between the media and industry insiders and did not cause a public uproar.

However, this sent a very clear message to all industry insiders. The Second Master of the Lu Family really despised Ling Youyou. It was as if any relationship with Ling Youyou was a great insult. This warning letter could not be more clear. The only thing missing was to explicitly tell you that if you dare to talk nonsense again, I’ll kill you!

It seemed that the Second Master of the Lu Family really did not have a good attitude towards female celebrities. Even though his father had married the movie queen, Qiu Biyun, Lu Shen had never recognized her as his stepmother.

Previously, when the news of the Lu Family’s Second Master staying in the capital spread, how many female celebrities had designs on him? Who would have a problem with money? Who cared if he really hated female celebrities? However, now, looking at that direct warning letter, who would dare?

This warning letter did not show any mercy at all, and Xu Yi was elated for a few days.

The new drama ‘Legend of the Bright Moon’ had recently reached the end of its broadcast. Its results were perfect, and this year’s viewership rankings were firmly in her hands.

The male lead, Cheng Jinghao, also soared in popularity due to this drama. However, this drama was about Xu Yi, and she added another item to her resume. No matter how envious others were, they could only be jealous.

Luo Wei had recently sent Xu Yi a lot of scripts, but Xu Yi did not choose any of them. The outside world had always said that she only acted within her comfort zone. However, those who knew a little about her would know that Xu Yi’s taste in scripts was actually extremely harsh. She put a lot of effort into her work

She was not filming for money, but because she loved it. When she met a team and script that she liked, she could even lower her asking pay.

Luo Wei never interfered with Xu Yi’s freedom when it came to choosing scripts. She informed Xu Yi, “You should prepare for the celebration banquet.”

‘Legend of the Bright Moon’ had exploded. The production side had held a public celebration banquet. As the female lead, Xu Yi naturally had to attend.

It could be considered a small-scale celebration. Xu Yi’s makeup and hair had to be beautiful.

Xu Yi put aside the script she had just read. “I know. Every movie has a celebration party. I’m tired…”

Luo Wei smiled. “Oh right, don’t forget about the fan benefits. You said it yourself during the press conference.”

The smile on Xu Yi’s face froze.

Luo Wei said, “The fans mentioned a few for you to choose from.”

Xu Yi’s heart tightened. “What did they mention?”

Luo Wei said, “I’ll read to you the ones that got the most voes. Post daily selfies for a month in a row. Perform a dance together with the most popular female dance group…”

Xu Yi did not know what to say.

Actually, she did not really like marketing herself outside of filming. The frequency of her selfies being updated was even less.

Back then, Xu Yi had made a promise to her fans, and by winning the viewership ratings, she had to fulfill their wishes. This matter had actually come true. She was not a person who liked to go back on her words, so even though she had a headache, she still had to fulfill her promise.

Xu Yi said, “Why do they want me to dance with the girls?”

Luo Wei sighed. “It’s all because of Ling Youyou.”

Ling Youyou had recently posted a few videos of her dancing with the popular girls’ group on social media platforms, and it had been on two hot searches. It was said that she was going to be a judge on the girls’ group talent show.

Actually, there was another reason why the fans voted for this. Xu Yi rarely went on stage. It could even be said that she had not been on stage much since that incident. This was also a blow to the hearts of the fans.

The fans said that they did not want to lose to Ling Youyou. From the bottom of their hearts, they really wanted to see the dazzling Xu Yi on stage.

…

Xu Yi suddenly fell silent.

Luo Wei asked, “Have you thought about it? Which one do you want to choose?”

She knew why Xu Yi was silent. “Actually, we can change to another one. It doesn’t matter.”

Xu Yi let out a low grunt, “Hmm.”

Back at Weilan Star Court, Lu Shen was also there. Lu Shen could see that Xu Yi was upset about something.

Looking at the cold and aloof Lu Shen, Xu Yi suddenly thought of Lu Shen’s arrogant face as a black-hearted businessman. She imagined Lu Shen looking at her dancing on stage, an alienating expression frozen on his face.

This matter could be said to be very shameful.

Xu Yi’s beauty was her greatest weapon. She was successful in everything… until she met Lu Shen.

During their first meeting abroad, she was attracted to him and wanted to ask him out. He used the same expression to reject her invitation to have a meal together.

When he left, he did not forget to remind her that her eyeliner was scuffed….
