[System's kind-hearted reminder: ']

In view of the host's unfamiliarity with the task of strategizing, the system gives a special prompt:

One way to increase favorability points: fulfill the dream of the person being pursued.

Ye Bufan: "Since that's the case, why not just tell me what Xiao Xu's dream is?"

System: "...Don't push your luck!"

"Hey, Dachun, I have a feeling that something is not quite right."

"What is that ancestor causing a ruckus about again?"

"No, no! Ah, you also know that a few days ago someone gave me a script. There's a character in it who was supposed to be given to Bufan. I showed it to Bufan yesterday, but he rejected it. Today, when I was planning to recommend Xiaoyu to the investors, but then..."

"Did that ancestor come running over and scold the investor again?"

"There's actually no need for that..."

"Ah? How is that possible!" The opposite side was in chaos, "Damn it, I just placed a bet yesterday that Ye Bufan would verbally abuse that investor."

"...Stop messing around."

Feeling the frustration and low mood of his good friend, Liang Chun stopped joking around: "What's the matter in the end? I think you better stop bothering with Ye Bufan early on. That guy... ha."

"Since yesterday, I felt that Bufan has become a bit strange," ignoring the mockery from his good friend, Xu Annan pondered and organized his thoughts, "I feel that the current Bufan is completely different from before, as if... he suddenly turned into an adult." And not just any adult, but a particularly rebellious one.

"What do you mean?"

"I can't really say for sure, it just feels like I've become a different person."

"What is he doing now?"

"Let's discuss the matter of the roles with the investors," Xu An Nan said, as she glanced down at her watch. "It has already been an hour."

"...That's really quite strange."

Ever since Ye Bufan became arrogant and domineering, staying in Xu Annan's house all day like a snail, he no longer had the ability to communicate well with others. Except for Xu Annan, who could skillfully use the "silence" skill to respond, everyone else inevitably exploded and threw him out in the face of Ye Bufan's mocking.

Liang Chun is a manager who started at the same time as Xu An Nan, but Liang Chun has achieved better success. He also manages a few artists who have gained some level of fame. He believes that Xu An Nan is "too gentle and kind", which is why Xu An Nan is still relatively unknown now.

Liang Chun also knows about Ye Bufan's situation. When Xu Anan initially told him about finding a very talented artist, Liang Chun genuinely felt happy for Xu Anan. He also accompanied Xu Anan to assess Ye Bufan's abilities and the fact proved that Ye Bufan was indeed outstanding. At that time, Liang Chun was confident that Xu Anan's hard days were finally over. But the reality was starkly different.

When Ye Bufan first fell, Liang Chun privately spoke with him. It was Liang Chun's most unwilling memory to recall, without exception. At that time, their conversation did not exceed five minutes. After five minutes, Liang Chun silenced Ye Bufan with a cup of lukewarm coffee.

From then on, Liang Chun took the initiative to persuade Xu Anan to give up on Ye Bufan.

Xu Annan waited anxiously outside the door. He was very worried that the investors would anger Ye Bufan to the point of losing his sanity and impulsively resorting to killing to keep the secret hidden.

After considering for a while, Xu Anan thought about it again and again, and finally decided to open the door and go in.

As soon as my hand touched the doorknob, the door swung open from the inside.

The person who was talking with their head twisted didn't notice what was in front and bumped straight into Xu Annan.

"Uh!" Xu Annan covered her forehead and took a few steps back, while Ye Bufan also rubbed his forehead, grimacing in pain. He even laughed and joked with Xu Annan, saying, "Xiao Xu, there's no need to be so enthusiastic."

Xu Anan sized up Ye Bufan, then glanced at the excited expression on Tao Lin's face behind him. He found that the atmosphere between the two was very harmonious. They were well dressed and nothing like the chaotic situation he had imagined. For a moment, he didn't know how to react.

Tao Lin and Ye Bufan bid farewell: "Well then, Ye Bufan, let's make a deal. We'll meet when the official launch begins in one month."

"Okay." Ye Bufan nodded.

After a polite handshake, Tao Lin suddenly took out a notebook and a pen from his pocket and handed them to Ye Bufan, saying, "Could you please sign this for me?"

Ye Bufan: "......"

Xu An Nan quietly pulled Lu Yu over and asked in a low voice, "What's the situation?"

The timid boy's face turned red, and his eyes shimmered. "Brother Ye agreed to participate and even helped me secure a role."

Xu Annan: "...How did he talk to Tao Lin?"

Lu Yu pondered for a moment and replied, "Brother Ye said at that time, 'I can participate in the performance, but I have one condition.' Mr. Tao also mentioned that he has a condition."

"What conditions?"

Lu Yu's face turned even redder. He lowered his head and stammered, unable to speak.

Xu Annan felt as if a bolt of lightning struck his crown, and images of Tao Lin's malicious expression towards Lu Yu relentlessly flashed through his mind. Automatically, he replaced Lu Yu with Ye Bufan in the scene, and most importantly, it seemed that Ye Bufan had agreed to something in this situation!

Answered, agreed!

Xu Anan: What should I do if my artist went to work as a prostitute?

After watching Tao Lin leave, Ye Bufan turned around to say goodbye to Xu Annan, only to find that his manager's gaze was filled with despair.

'[Sympathy +10]'

Ye Bufan: Did I do something to give Xiaoxu a misunderstanding?
