Dance practice room.

When Qin Wan and Pei Yue arrived, Lu Zhao and Xiang Yang were practicing diligently.

Seeing Lu Zhao covered in sweat, Qin Wan was taken aback. "Weren't you here to supervise Xiang Yang's mentor?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhao's lips twitched almost imperceptibly, and he pointed helplessly at Xiang Yang beside him.

“He refused to practice and said that the prerequisite for being a mentor is having the ability to beat him.”

Qin Wan: "..."

"That's right. Why should someone less capable than me be my mentor?" Xiang Yang said confidently.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan's lips twitched almost imperceptibly, but before she could speak, Pei Yue interrupted her.

"That makes sense."

Qin Wan: "???"

Qin Wan turned to look at Pei Yue, her eyes filled with slight confusion. "Xiang Yang has been practicing dance since he was a child and graduated from a dance academy. How could Lu Zhao possibly compare to him?"

Hearing Qin Wan defend Lu Zhao, Pei Yue narrowed his eyes dangerously, "This is the production team's problem."

"They could have invited professional teachers from dance academies, or even national-level dancers, but instead they chose artists whose professions were not relevant."

"Besides, I didn't say anything. I just thought Xiangyang's words made a lot of sense from my personal perspective. It wasn't just being unreasonable."

Qin Wan: "..."

Seeing that Qin Wan and Pei Yue seemed to be at odds because of him, Lu Zhao quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"Wan-jie, it's okay. I happen to be quite interested in dancing, and I'm lucky to be able to study with a salary."

"Moreover, there happens to be some sword-wielding scenes in my next drama."

"I'll take this opportunity to practice my flexibility so that I can get into character and get into character more quickly when I join the film crew."

Since Lu Zhao, who was involved, took the initiative to say that everything was fine, Qin Wan naturally couldn't say anything more.

"Are you two my mentors too?" Xiang Yang looked at Pei Yue and Qin Wan with hopeful eyes.

Pei Yue glanced at the faint schadenfreude in Xiang Yang's eyes and smiled.

"Young man, wake up."

"With your current status and value, it's not enough for the production team to invite three mentors to supervise you alone."

Xiangyang: "..." So angry!!!

Seeing Pei Yue's blunt and hurtful words, completely disregarding the cameras that were being filmed, the directors surrounding him twitched at the corners of their mouths, momentarily at a loss for how to react.

Although I have mixed feelings, I have to say that Pei Yue is truly brave and dares to speak his mind.

"So what are Brother Pei and Sister Wan's tasks?"

Lu Zhao took the tissue Qin Wan handed him and wiped the sweat from his forehead, his curious gaze sweeping back and forth between the two of them.

One second ago, Pei Yue was still arguing with Xiang Yang.

The next second, Pei Yue's unfriendly gaze fell on Lu Zhao.

Lu Zhao's movement of wiping away sweat suddenly froze...

Should he not have accepted the tissue?

But the camera was rolling, and Wan Jie had simply handed him two pieces of paper in a very natural way. If he hadn't taken them, Wan Jie would have inevitably started to overthink things...

After a brief moment of thought, Lu Zhao decisively snatched the entire pack of tissues from Qin Wan's hand and stuffed it into Xiang Yang's hand.

"Quickly wipe your sweat."

Faced with Lu Zhao's "attentiveness," Xiang Yang stared at him warily.

He always felt that Lu Zhao was being overly solicitous and that he was either a scoundrel or a thief.

"Lu Zhao, have you taken the wrong medicine?"

"I dragged you to dance practice with me, and I really pushed you to your limits. I could understand if you didn't blame or resent me, but you actually handed me a tissue?"

As soon as Xiang Yang said this, the huge dance studio fell into an eerie silence.

The people present looked at each other, unsure of what to say for a moment.

In the end, Pei Yue glanced at Lu Zhao indifferently, the darkness in his eyes gradually fading away.

He's a smart guy.

Unlike some idiot...

Thinking of this, Pei Yue's dangerous gaze swept over Xiang Yang indifferently.

Xiangyang: "???"

"Pei Yue, why are you staring at me like that?"

"I didn't offend you."

"I didn't drag you to dance with me."

Can't you be normal for once?

"Can't you have some self-awareness and professional ethics as an artist?"

Before Xiangyang could finish speaking, Qin Wan tried to interrupt him.

She had never met a man more annoying than Xiang Yang.

She's such a chatterbox!

They're so talkative!

Her head was spinning from hearing that.

I don't know how Lu Zhao put up with him.

Thinking of this, Qin Wan looked at Lu Zhao with sympathy, "You've had a hard time."

Lu Zhao: "Wan-jie??"

Lu Zhao was taken aback, and for a moment he didn't realize what Qin Wan meant.

"By the way, this is your and Xiangyang's mission card."

As she spoke, Qin Wan handed the task card in her hand to Lu Zhao.

"Pei Yue and I have other tasks to complete, so we'll head out first."

"Okay, Brother Pei and Sister Wan, take care." Lu Zhao said goodbye politely and tactfully.

Seeing Qin Wan and Pei Yue about to leave, Xiang Yang finally realized what was happening.

"No, Qin Wan, wait a minute."

"Qin Wan, explain yourself clearly."

"What do you mean I can't have some self-awareness and professional ethics as an artist?"

"Qin Wan, what do you mean?"

"Qin Wan, you stop right there!"

As Xiang Yang pressed for answers, he quickly stepped forward, trying to catch up with Qin Wan and stop her and Pei Yue from leaving.

However, Xiang Yang never expected that Lu Zhao, who was just exhausted from dancing practice, would suddenly have incredible strength...

Yes, Lu Zhao once again used his familiar "chokehold" technique on him, stopping him in his tracks.

This left him with no choice but to watch Qin Wan and Pei Yue's carefree departure...

Xiangyang: "Damn it!!!"

So annoying!

I'm so angry!

"Lu Zhao, let go of me!"

"Lu Zhao, if you don't let go, do you believe I'll get rough with you!"

"Lu Zhao!!!"

Behind her, Xiang Yang's cursing and swearing continued to echo from the dance studio, making Qin Wan's lips twitch.

"I think Xiangyang is really not suited for the entertainment industry."

Pei Yue nodded in agreement, "He's suited to go back to the Xiang family and continue being a spoiled brat."

Qin Wan: "..." That makes so much sense, I can't even refute it.

“He won’t go back, even if he starves to death outside, even if he has to work as a construction worker carrying bricks…” Qin Wan said with emotion.

"Therefore, he can only accept our exploitation," Pei Yue said coldly.

Yes, Lu Zhao signed a Level A contract, and the revenue split with the studio is 50/50.

In other words, Lu Zhao received 1.5 million out of the 3 million yuan salary for the series.

Xiangyang is different; he signed a Class C contract and received a 20/80 split.

Xiang Yang received only 200,000 yuan out of the million-yuan film salary he was paid.

It was truly tragic.

But there's nothing we can do; he's just too good at causing trouble.

They always seem to get into trouble, whether there's a reason or not.

Whether there's something wrong or not, people can always find something to hold against them, making them a sinner for saying or doing something wrong.

The company needs to assign someone to keep a close eye on him and help him clean up his messes.

Qin Wan has three people under her command, and Pei Yue is the kind of person who is fawned over wherever he goes.

Lu Zhao is the kind of promising talent that everyone wants to poach.

Xiangyang, on the other hand... is disliked by everyone wherever he goes...
