The Long-awaited Mr Han

Who knew she would encounter Lu Man again?

By now, Jiang Yuhan probably knew how Qiao Luna had felt back then.

Why did Lu Man keep appearing like a bad penny?!

Everywhere she went, Lu Man appeared too!

Even when she was filming a movie and the production crew sealed off roads, Lu Man was there to interfere as well!

And Lu Man poked her nose into it, going around posting on social media, using her influence to create a ruckus.

Although the fault was ultimately placed on Liang Chengbing and the production crew, the netizens also lost all goodwill towards the actors in the film.

Even she was blamed inexplicably.

Jiang Yuhan wanted to pull her hair out. Why was Lu Man so nosy?!

Twice, Lu Man had caused her career to fall when it should have gotten better. How could she see Lu Man in a positive light?

Originally, they had invited both Jiang Yuhan and Liang Chengbing.

They were supposed to attend Classic X Files together as the director and female lead to publicize their movie, Sounds of Winter.

Who knew the production team would invite Lu Man too?

She wanted to be like Liang Chengbing and declare outright that if Lu Man was going to be on the show, then she would not appear.

But she did not have the say.

Well, Liang Chengbing did voice his opinion, but who could have guessed that Lu Dongliu would choose Lu Man and give Liang Chengbing up!

Was there something wrong with Lu Dongliu's brain?

But the movie still had to be publicized.

Since Liang Chengbing could not go on the show, she remained.

But Liang Chengbing now bore a greater grudge against Lu Man.

Even Jiang Yuhan felt that Lu Man was an eyesore.

She almost contacted Lu Dongliu to demand an explanation regarding the exposure news on Lu Man's pay.

Luckily, she saw afterward that her fees included her contributions to the PR.

But this did not change the fact that Lu Man's fees were higher than hers.

Not many saw the explanation for the higher fees. Many would just remember that Lu Man got paid more than she did, without remembering the components of Lu Man's fees.

Finally, the day before the program was filmed arrived.

Lu Man, Wang Juhuai, and Xia Qingwei set off for Dong Hua together.

Because Xia Qingwei had not been to Dong Hua before and since they arrived a day early, Wang Juhuai asked Xia Qingwei to tour with him.

When they reached the airport, Lu Man received a call from Lu Dongliu, saying that Liang Chengbing accepted Xing Ke Station's invitation to appear on their most popular show, Friday (with the Stars).

Friday (with the Stars) did not just simply mean that it aired every Friday at night; the "Stars" also implied celebrities.

And hence, that they celebrated with the celebrities on Friday nights.

Because the show always invited the hottest stars for the period, the show was extremely popular amongst the audience.

"Xing Ke Station definitely knows that Liang Chengbing asked to never appear at the same place as you, the where-you-are-there-will-never-be-him situation, and so they invited Liang Chengbing to compete with us for viewership," Lu Dongliu said. "Xing Ke Station is bearing a grudge against you."

Or why would they invite Liang Chengbing at this time?

Moreover, it was on Friday (with the Stars), which had a same-day telecast as Classic X Files.

When The Performer was scheduled to broadcast on a Friday, it was on the next slot after Friday (with the Stars).

Friday (with the Stars) was on the 8 pm slot, and The Performer had followed immediately after at 9 pm.

Meanwhile, Classic X Files broadcasted at 8:40 pm, almost at the same time as The Performer, but Friday (with the Stars) would not yet be finished by then and woule be on their last segment.

It could be said that Classic X Files had been sandwiched between Friday (with the Stars) and The Performer.

But Lu Man had managed to pull up the viewership ratings of Classic X Files under such terrible conditions.
