Shen Huai then discussed her future work plans with her: "I've picked out two dramas for you. One is a campus drama where you play the second female lead, and the filming time won't be too long. The other is a family drama where you play the third female lead, the daughter of the main character, and you'll have quite a few scenes. Which one do you prefer?"
Chu Meibo blinked: "Do you have any recommendations?"
Shen Huai paused for a moment: "I've read the scripts for both of these dramas, and they're not very different. But given your current image, I would suggest you choose a campus drama."
After listening to Shen Huai's analysis, Chu Meibo nodded: "Okay, send me the script later."
Shen Huai agreed, and added, "The audition is probably in about a month, which is just a few days before you start school. You can get a feel for school life first."
Chu Meibo wilted at the thought of going to school: "Okay..."
After finishing their business, Shen Huai suddenly remembered something: "I forgot to ask, have you caused any trouble on set lately?"
It's no wonder he asked that question; neither of these two big shots is easy to deal with.
Chu Meibo: "How could that be? Am I that kind of person?"
Shen Huai: "I wasn't asking you, I was asking Tong Yun." He said, looking at Chu Meibo's assistant.
Because of Xue Chengge's previous experience, he was determined to refuse fans from becoming his assistants, even those who were suspected of becoming fans, such as Le Jiameng, who would be eliminated in the first round.
This assistant, named Tong Yun, was specially chosen by him. She was tall and strong, and more importantly, she had never been a fan of any female celebrity. She was very determined and would never easily switch sides.
However, upon hearing Shen Huai's words, Tong Yun quickly shook her head: "No, Sister Mei is extremely dedicated and hardworking on set. She absolutely did not cause any trouble!"
Chu Meibo nodded in satisfaction.
Shen Huai: "..."
His own artist was so charming that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Chu Meibo rested at home for a few days before returning to school. With the help of her tutor, her grades were now barely acceptable. However, the Zhongjing Film Academy still required an entrance exam, so Chu Meibo had to attend an hour of training every day after school.
After learning that Chu Meibo needed to rely on the Film Academy, Le Jiameng immediately packed up her college entrance exam materials and sent them over. Even Director Gao asked if she needed help introducing her to some teachers at the Film Academy.
Chu Meibo refused all of them. She wasn't worried about acting; she was just getting used to the exam atmosphere in advance.
Ye Cang has been busy recording an album recently, Chu Meibo is studying and training at the same time, and Shen Huai has finally had a rare moment of leisure after arranging his work.
Unfortunately, fate seemed to disapprove of his leisurely life, and trouble soon followed.
The reason for this was an interview program that Liu Qingqing had participated in. In the interview, she talked about her family and life, and said that although she was very happy, she still missed the hard work she had done on film sets, so she was preparing to return to acting.
This interview was originally paid for by Liu Qingqing in her attempt to make a comeback.
Unfortunately, she didn't get the role in "The Secret of Heaven," but she didn't take the interview down; instead, it aired as scheduled.
After several rounds of online marketing, she quickly gained popularity. She had indeed acted in several good dramas back then, and many people still remembered her. With the filter of time and the help of online trolls, she suddenly became a "childhood goddess".
Afterwards, this interview was found by someone with ulterior motives, who "guessed" that her new drama role was Kui Ji in "The Secret of Heaven", and then "timely" praised the book fans under her Weibo post.
In no time, the hashtag #LiuQingqingKuiJi# trended on social media.
Before the production team could clarify, Liu Qingqing herself said on Weibo that when she auditioned, the director was initially very satisfied, but unexpectedly lost to a teenage girl and did not participate in the filming of "Tianji". She is now participating in a new drama "XX" and wishes the "Tianji" production team great success in ratings.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
The keywords "the director was originally very satisfied," "unexpectedly," and "a teenage girl" subtly hinted at something fishy going on. Coupled with the instigation of online trolls, netizens immediately flooded Chu Meibo's Weibo with insults.
Wow, that's amazing! This girl must have a powerful backer!
[Can't you just focus on your studies at this age?]
The entertainment industry has been ruined by trash like you!
[Trash, get out of the entertainment industry!]
If Shen Huai still couldn't see through Liu Qingqing's tactic of flattering the powerful and belittling the weak by this point, he would have no face to continue being her agent.
The entertainment industry is inherently a highly competitive place. After all, there are only so many spots at the top of the pyramid, and everyone wants to get there. Especially among stars of the same type, the competition can be described as a life-or-death struggle.
However, Liu Qingqing and Chu Meibo are not the same type of person, whether in terms of age or role. Logically, they should not be in direct competition. It is only because Chu Meibo took the role from Liu Qingqing that Liu Qingqing held a grudge against her.
Previously on set, Shen Huai had become wary of Liu Qingqing because of He Fangfei's incident, but such things are simply impossible to guard against.
However, Liu Qingqing used a clever method, neither directly saying that Chu Meibo stole her role nor that there was a problem with the "Tianji" production team. Instead, she used words like "suspected" and "possibly," making her seem quite innocent.
In this situation, even if the production team tries to clarify, they will likely be seen as having something to hide, putting them in a real dilemma. Moreover, in a way, this also serves as publicity for the "Heavenly Secret" production team, with the only one affected being Chu Meibo.
From the production team's perspective, ignoring it might be the better choice. As for Chu Meibo, once "The Secret" airs, everyone will naturally know how good Chu Meibo's acting is.
However, the TV series will not air for at least six months. During these six months, Chu Meibo will live under cyberbullying. Moreover, as a new actress, once she is labeled in this way, it will greatly affect her future work.
Shen Huai actually had a solution, but considering Director Gao's appreciation for Chu Meibo, he decided not to act rashly and instead discuss it with the production team first.
Director Gao had just learned of this news. He has a good temper, but he's not entirely without one. He's tactful, but he's not without principles. This time, Liu Qingqing has really offended him.
Director Gao readily agreed to Shen Huai's suggestion.
So, in the evening, the production crew surprised everyone.
@TVSeriesTianjiV: Ta-da! Xiao Tian is giving away some goodies~ In the previous nine-grid stills, Kui Ji's photo was kept a secret, which must have made many fans very curious. Today, Xiao Tian is going to release a beautiful photo of Kui Ji~ Hopefully, she matches your image of Kui Ji~ [Photo]
The post quickly garnered comments.
