"I like it, I really like it." Xu Meir nodded repeatedly: "But every time I come here, I can't get a table."
"My status is special, and I can't eat in the hall. Do you know how uncomfortable this feeling is for a foodie?"
Xu Meir took out the menu and said, "Xiao Chen, since you're a shareholder, it's easy. Recommend me some dishes."
"I see you've been staying up late for quite a while now, and you've got bags under your eyes." Xiao Chen said, "Let me recommend some medicinal foods to help you recover."
"Okay, then everything is up to you." Xu Meir giggled and sat down to wait for the meal.
I ordered a few light-flavored dishes and asked the kitchen to bring them up as soon as possible.
"Xiao Chen, your bionic robot is really popular. I'll talk to the company and ask them to give you a lower endorsement fee." Xu Meir was holding the chopsticks, already impatient.
"Thank you so much! If it weren't for you, my thing wouldn't have become so popular." Xiao Chen sighed, "You really are a walking traffic bag."
"It also depends on whether your product is excellent and advanced." Xu Meir said with a giggle.
"Okay, stop. We don't need to praise each other in this commercial way." Xiao Chen made a pause gesture.
"By the way, how did you deal with the last incident?" Xiao Chen asked.
"The company wants to hold someone accountable, but Sister Li refuses to tell us what happened." Xu Meir sighed.
"I think she has her own secrets, and I've been with her for so many years, so I know what kind of person she is."
"So in the end, it just ended up in nothing?" Xiao Chen felt a little unbelievable.
"Yes, I really don't know what to do." Xu Meir shook her head. She was really scared about the poisoning incident.
"Is she still your manager now?" Xiao Chen asked.
"For now, I've changed a few before, but none of them were satisfactory, so I let her be my manager for the time being." Xiao Meir nodded slightly.
"Your courage...isn't it a bit too much?" Xiao Chen smiled bitterly.
This girl is really brave, and her manager is the closest person to her.
She almost ruined Xu Meir's voice before, which was almost a fatal blow to her career.
Xu Meir actually dared to use her?
"Actually, I have no choice. She's the boss's relative, and the boss is deliberately protecting her." Xu Meir smiled bitterly, "I can only be careful myself."
"In fact, I have encountered such commercial attacks before."
"Besides, this business is tricky, and my boss has been really nice to me and has protected me well, so I've just muddled along."
"Okay." Xiao Chen sighed helplessly and nodded slightly.
Indeed, the entertainment industry is the worst hit by this kind of commercial frame-up.
It is indeed great that Xu Meir has been able to maintain her current state since her debut.
"The food is here." Xu Meir's eyes lit up when she saw the waiter pushing the door open.
Several steaming medicinal dishes were brought in.
There was soup and vegetables, and the dishes looked tempting. Xu Meir picked up the chopsticks and ate without caring about her image.
"Eat slowly and pay attention to your celebrity image." Xiao Chen smiled helplessly: "If you want to eat in the future, just call me anytime."
"I've reserved a private room for you. You don't have to go through the trouble of queuing up for a number."
"Yeah, okay." Xu Meir stuffed food into her mouth and nodded continuously.
Now she only cares about eating. Eating is important, nothing else matters.
I finally had time to eat something in peace, but after a while, my phone rang.
When she saw the caller ID, Xu Meir's brows furrowed. She turned off the ringer and continued eating.
However, the phone rang stubbornly for several times, and she had no choice but to answer the call: "Hello, Sister Li."
"Where have you been?" Sister Li on the other end of the phone sounded a little unfriendly.
"I... went out to eat with a friend." Xu Meir said cautiously, "Sister Li, isn't everything fine today?"
"Nothing?" Sister Li raised her voice. "I had an appointment with Master Sun today. Why didn't you take it seriously?"
"I don't care where you are, leave now and come back right away."
Xu Meir was silent for a moment, then she said, "Sister Li, you are my senior and teacher who brought me into this industry."
"When I first started in this industry, you said that as long as you were there, no one could force me to do anything."
"But now, why are you pushing me over?"
"This is also for your future." Sister Li said sternly: "You also know that there are some people we can't afford to offend."
"Mei'er, there are so many entertainers in the company who serve as drinking companions. Ask yourself, when have I ever let you go?"
"But this time it's different. None of us can afford to offend the other party given their background."
"If you don't go, your acting career may end here."
"Besides, this is an opportunity that many people wouldn't even dream of, and you're still going to refuse it?"
"Then let's end it." Xu Meir raised her voice: "Sister Li, I'm different from others."
"If the price of fame is relying on my looks to get ahead, then I'd rather not have it."
"Are you rebelling?" Sister Li was furious. She changed her usual image of a teacher and elder and said, "Xu Meir, the company spent so much money on you to package you."
"You can't just say no to this. Come back right now and don't force me to get angry."
Bang...Xu Meir hung up the phone.
At the same time, tears fell uncontrollably.
Xiao Chen sighed helplessly. He understood Xu Meir's difficulties.
As a star and public figure, he has tens of millions of fans.
Others only see her glamorous appearance, but don’t know how difficult her life is behind the scenes.
Handing over a tissue, Xiao Chen comforted her, "Don't cry, crying won't solve the problem."
"Thinking about how to solve it is the right way."
Xu Meir shook her head, took the tissue, wiped her tears, and continued eating: "I'll eat first."
Xiao Chen was at a loss for words. He was indeed a big foodie.
Before we finished our meal, Sister Li came over with a few people from the company.
"How did you know I was here?" Xu Meir's face changed: "Did you install a GPS on me?"
"You're the company's most popular artist. If I can't even track your whereabouts, then I've been working in this industry for over twenty years in vain."
Sister Li said sternly, "Tonight's meeting is related to the future development of the company. The other party specifically asked you to go, so you must go."
"Sister Li." Xu Meir stood up. "If that's the case, then I have no choice but to terminate my contract with the company."
"What did you say? You want to terminate your contract with the company?" Sister Li showed an expression of disbelief.
"Yes, if you force me, I will terminate my contract with the company." Xu Meir nodded seriously.
"Do you know how much liquidated damages you have to pay if you terminate your contract with the company? I think you are crazy. Can you afford it?" Sister Li calmed down.
