“Director Xu, you…”

“Previously, when 1 accepted your Sister Ming’s recommendation to let Lu Man act as the first male lead in ‘Female Assassin’, 1 thought that he was different from those small celebrities who could not take hardship. In the end… Heh, it seems like 1 misjudged him previously.”

Without giving the male assistant any chance to speak, Xu Kai interrupted him.

As he spoke, he slowly took a few steps back. When he leaned against the chair in the corridor, his entire body was filled with disappointment and helplessness. From the looks of it, he had some expectations for Lu Man previously.

Xia Wei looked at Xu Kai silently. It was as if she had seen her benefactor in another time and space from Director Xu. They had the same sincere love for film and television!

Xu Kai did not know what Xia Wei was thinking. He restrained his uncontrollable emotions and looked up at Lu Man’s assistant in front of him. He continued in a low voice, “Hurry up and call Ming Mai before Lu Man comes out of the consultation room. Tell her about the current situation and see if we should find another temporary manager to guard Lu Man. We will continue to work tomorrow. Other than you, no one in the production team can take care of him.”

The male assistant had already sensed that he had ruined Lu Man’s matter the moment Xu Kai supported Xia Wei. He was frightened by Xu Kai’s aura and did not dare to meet his eyes. After swallowing his saliva calmly, he slowly nodded. However, only he knew how flustered and uneasy he was!

Just as Xu Kai finished instructing them, the door of the consultation room, which had been closed just now, was suddenly opened from the inside by a nurse. “Are Lu Man’s family members here? Come in for a while.”

As soon as this nurse finished speaking, the location director, who had been standing beside Xu Kai, immediately leaned over and asked about Lu Man’s situation worriedly.

Xu Kai brought the male assistant into the consultation room. Xia Wei and the rest tactfully did not follow them in. Instead, they looked at the nurse who had spoken with the location director.

“Did you come with Lu Man too? There are so many of you.”

The nurse looked up at everyone at the door and said curiously, “Then I’ll tell you all about it. The patient’s condition is not very serious now. It’s just acute abdominal pain from eating something bad. He’s much better after the injection. Take care of his diet these two days and rest more.”

After hearing the nurse’s brief summary of Lu Man’s condition, the location director and Wang Ming frowned strangely. “That’s all? It’s not serious, right?” It was rare for the two of them to have a tacit understanding.

The nurse looked at the two of them in confusion and said speechlessly, “Why? Do you think the patient’s illness isn’t serious enough? What kind of people are you?”

Wang Ming and the location director, who were inexplicably rebuked by the nurse, were speechless.

Standing at the periphery of the crowd, Xia Wei, Lin Yi, and Luo Ying saw this scene very clearly.

While they were talking, Lu Man had already been pushed out of the consultation room by his assistant. His expression was a little calmer, and he looked much better than before.

Xia Wei did not know if it was her imagination, but she felt that Lu Man was looking at her with a slightly guilty gaze.

She raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Lu Man in the wheelchair. She asked bluntly, “What else did the doctor want to ask? Do you also think that the drink just now made you sick?”

When Lu Man heard this, he slowly looked up at Xia Wei. His expression was stunned for a moment, but it was quickly replaced by surprise. “What are you talking about, Sister Wei? No, I don’t think so! Why would you think that? It was just an accident. My stomach isn’t good. Why would I blame you?”

As he spoke, he smiled helplessly. Coupled with his slightly pale face, he looked quite pitiful and aggrieved.

Seeing that Lu Man was still pretending to be innocent and wanted to play the blame game, Xia Wei almost laughed out loud. In fact, she also laughed. “In that case, the accusations your assistant made against me just now were also your idea?”

“What accusation? What did Little Li say to Sister Wei just now?” Lu Man pretended to be surprised and looked at Xia Wei innocently and in confusion..
