Hongmei's eyes suddenly widened and she exclaimed in shock: "How could it be her?!"
She knew Su Muzi's agent Meng Yufen.
Meng Yufen is both Su Muzi's agent and Su Muzi's boss. People in the circle call her Sister Fen.
If this wooden comb was given by Meng Yufen, could it be that... Meng Yufen wanted to harm Su Muzi?
Su Muzi pursed her lips tightly, and after a long while, she said in a trembling voice: "On my birthday in the first half of the year, she gave me this comb as a birthday gift."
"It is said that this comb was specially customized for me by her. It is made of fine rosewood and cost her tens of thousands of yuan."
"She told me that this comb can massage the scalp, relieve fatigue, and prevent hair loss... Anyway, it sounds like it has many benefits, so I use it every day."
Hong Mei: "..."
It sounds like Meng Yufen deliberately gave this comb to Su Muzi.
The more she thought about it, the more something was wrong. She couldn't help but look at Su Muzi and said, "You...are you sure Meng Yufen gave it to you?"
Although she was not particularly familiar with Meng Yufen, they were in the same circle after all.
She heard that Meng Yufen was very good to Su Muzi. It was not just a manager-artist relationship, but a sisterly relationship.
Su Muzi nodded slightly and said, "She gave it to me."
Ye Qingtian glanced at her: "Have you never doubted your agent?"
Su Muzi was startled and pursed her lips tightly.
After a long while, she said softly: "No, I actually had doubts..."
Hongmei looked at her in surprise.
Su Muzi took a deep breath and said, "Originally I didn't think of this level, but Master Ye said that this comb influenced me, and I suddenly figured everything out..."
"I had nightmares before and I mentioned it to Sister Fen several times. She said it was because I was too tired and told me not to think too much about it."
"I had a rash on my face, and she was actively taking me to see a doctor. But when I said I wanted to see Master Ye, she firmly opposed it, saying that I was engaging in feudal superstition..."
Hong Mei let out a cry.
There seems to be something wrong with Meng Yufen.
Su Muzi whispered: "That's why I came to see Master Ye today. I neither told Sister Fen nor called my assistant because I was afraid that Sister Fen would object..."
Hong Mei suddenly realized.
She asked why Su Muzi came to find Ye Qingtian alone, without a bodyguard, a manager or an assistant.
It turned out that he was afraid that Meng Yufen would object.
She looked at Su Muzi and said with some confusion: "But don't you have a very good relationship with your agent?"
Su Muzi is thirty-five years old and has been in the industry for almost 20 years.
Since her debut, her manager has been Meng Yufen.
In other words, the two have worked together for more than twenty years.
Everyone in the circle knows that they have a good relationship and are like family.
Su Muzi sighed and said, "Actually, Sister Fen and I have had a big difference in the past six months."
Hongmei looked at her curiously, waiting for her to continue.
Ye Qingtian also listened quietly.
Su Muzi said: "Six months ago, I told Sister Fen that I wanted to quit the screen and focus on behind the scenes."
"Sister Fen disagrees. She thinks I should continue filming."
"What she means is that I am the only popular actor in the company, and the company has to rely on me to make money."
Hongmei frowned and said, "But you have made so much money for the company over the years, and you are completely worthy of the company and Meng Yufen."
Everyone in the industry knows that Su Muzi supports the entire company by herself.
In the past two years, Su Muzi has worked hard to lead the company's new actors and use her own fame to gain momentum for the new actors.
Her contribution to the company is definitely the greatest.
Su Muzi smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe Sister Fen thinks it's not time for me to quit the screen."
When she debuted, she signed with a big company and her manager was Meng Yufen.
At that time, Meng Yufen had just joined the company. Both of them were considered rookies in the workplace and were squeezed out by the company.
Later, her contract expired and she and Meng Yufen came out to set up a studio.
On the surface Meng Yufen is the boss, but in fact she is also one of the bosses.
They supported each other and got to where they are today.
Over the past twenty years, her and Meng Yufen's ideas have always been in sync.
It wasn't until she proposed to quit the screen half a year ago that she and Meng Yufen had differences.
Hongmei said: "But this kind of disagreement is normal, and she can't harm you, right?"
"If you are an artist under me, even if I don't agree with you quitting the screen, I will only discuss it with you and I will never harm you."
She has always admired Su Muzi.
Su Muzi's first film debut was as a dancer in a Republic of China movie, and her acting skills were particularly good.
The role of the dancer was very charming in the early stage, and Su Muzi performed the role with such unparalleled elegance that she captivated the country and the city.
Later, the dancer died tragically under the gun of the Japanese in order to cover the underground party, which also earned the audience tears.
At that time, Hongmei wanted to sign Su Muzi, but unfortunately Su Muzi had already signed with the company and had Meng Yufen as her agent.
But even if she didn't sign Su Muzi, Hongmei has always been very optimistic about her.
After that, Su Muzi really became popular, won a Grand Slam Best Actress, and became a top-tier actress in China.
Su Muzi closed her eyes in pain and said, "I don't know why she wanted to harm me..."
She still didn't believe it, so she looked up at Ye Qingtian and said with hope, "Master, although there is something wrong with this comb, it is not necessarily Sister Fen who is harming me, right?"
"Maybe Sister Fen didn't know it either, and was deceived by the comb seller..."
Ye Qingtian interrupted her directly and said, "It's your manager who wants to harm you."
With just one sentence, Su Muzi was hit hard.
She slumped on the chair with her eyes blank, and remained silent for a long time.
Hongmei looked at her with some sympathy.
You don't have to think about it to know how uncomfortable it feels to be betrayed by the person you trust the most.
No wonder Su Muzi was hit so hard.
Of course Ye Qingtian sympathized with Su Muzi.
Especially since Su Muzi was her favorite actress, she felt even more sorry for what happened to Su Muzi.
But she still had to make things clear to Su Muzi.
She stared at Su Muzi and said, "I said I can save you, so don't worry about that."
"Although this comb is dangerous, it would be easy for me to destroy it."
"However, once this comb is destroyed, your agent will definitely be counterattacked."
"She won't survive tonight, something will happen tomorrow at the latest."
Su Muzi suddenly raised her head.
Ye Qingtian said: "You think about it, whether you want me to destroy this comb now."
Su Muzi looked at her blankly, as if digesting the meaning of her words.
Ye Qingtian didn't rush her, but just waited for her to make a decision.
After a long time, Su Muzi squeezed out a sentence from her throat: "I...I want to call Sister Fen over and ask her face to face, is that okay?"
She couldn't think of any reason why her agent harmed her.
Although they had some differences in the past six months, they have struggled together for twenty years!
From when she was unknown, to when she became a much-anticipated movie queen, Meng Yufen has been silently supporting her from behind.
They are not only friends and partners, but also close family members!
