Chapter 48 - 48 Being Bumped
48 Being Bumped
After settling these matters, it was already dark when Yu Han came out with her luggage. She had just stepped out of the door when she saw her manager, He Meng, get out of the car. Yu Han was very surprised. “Didn’t I say that I can go back myself? Why did you come here again?”
“I’m here to take a look at you and send you back.” This young lady had such a huge incident on her first time filming a variety show. As her manager, she felt a little worried if she didn’t see her with her own eyes.
Seeing that Yu Han had fastened her seatbelt, He Meng started the car and asked, “Have you discussed it with the director?”
Yu Han nodded. “It’s settled. He said that he would go to some proposals first.” After saying that, she paused for a moment. “It’s about the public thank-you statement. Li Jin said that there’s no problem, but things might not go well with Ji Jun. He left before I could speak to him.”
Being in the same industry, He Meng more or less understood Ji Jun’s temperament. She was not surprised when she heard that. “Let’s make our stand clear first. We have to say thank you when we need to say thank you. As for Ji Jun’s reaction, that’s his own business. We can’t force it.
At this point, He Meng suddenly glanced at Yu Han. “I saw that he reposted your stills and took good care of you on the variety show. He even risked his life to save your life. I thought you two were intimate?”
Yu Han knew what she was trying to find out more and hurriedly shook her head. “Sister Meng, can you not scare me? Do you think I can have anything to do with an unattainable flower like him?”
He Meng was very satisfied. “I’m relieved that you think that way.” After all, she was a top manager. It would take more effort for her to suddenly come and take care of a newcomer who had just debuted. Hence, she did not want Yu Han to be a love-sick artiste who could disregard her acting career for the sake of love.
“Sister Meng, don’t worry. I know what’s the most important thing now. I won’t be distracted easily,” Yu Han promised her.
“That’s good. I believe you know your limits.” He Meng nodded. “Since the variety show can’t be filmed for the time being, what do you think of doing next on your schedule?”
“Senior Jiang Zhen recommended an audition for me today. It’s the second female lead in a web drama series. The audition is tomorrow. I want to try it out.”
He Meng frowned and thought for a moment. “Although it’s a web drama, Jiang Zhen has good taste in dramas. If it can catch his eye, I believe the quality of this web drama won’t be bad.”
Yu Han nodded. “It’s mainly because I’m a newcomer now. It’s already not bad that I get to act in a web drama.” Moreover, Yu Han had seen a description of this web drama series in books.
Although the director and actors were newbies, the show attracted a frenzy of viewership as soon as it was broadcasted due to its high quality. It made the director and the actors popular.
Seeing that she was not arrogant or discouraged, He Meng was very happy. “Looks like you performed very well on the variety show and earned Jiang Zhen’s admiration. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have introduced the resources to you so easily.”
Yu Han stroked her hair proudly. “I’ve always been liked by the elders.”
He Meng laughed and shook her head. “So your career plan is focused on acting, right?”
Yu Han nodded. “What I like more is still acting.”
“Alright, you can go for the audition tomorrow. As for the rest of the work, I’ll arrange them accordingly.” Since Yu Han wanted to focus on acting, she could reject all the invitations she had just received.
Yu Han had gained unprecedented popularity because of today’s attempted murder live-stream. Her fans had also increased to almost two million. Hence, many companies and production teams sent her invitations.
He Meng had taken a look at them earlier. She realized that they were short-term endorsements that were using the popularity to hype themselves up. Hence, it did not matter if they accepted these jobs.
The traffic light happened to turn red in front and He Meng stepped on the brakes in time. Just as the car stopped at the line, the car behind bumped into her.
The accident happened very suddenly. The two of them were not prepared and were knocked forward. If not for the fact that they were both wearing seatbelts, the impact would have thrown them out of the car.
He Meng didn’t have time to check her forehead that had hit the steering wheel. She hurriedly asked Yu Han, “How’s your forehead?” She seemed to have heard Yu Han’s forehead hit the car window earlier.
Yu Han covered her forehead in pain. “I’m fine. I have the seatbelt on, so I didn’t hit the window too hard.”
