Zhang Ting and Ye Ziqing both smiled bitterly.
Then the two went to their room.
They confirmed once again that Chen Zhao really wasn't interested in them.
Chen Zhao didn't go back to his room to sleep. Apart from Fali, Portia was also in the room.
Zefra slept in the suite with the kids.
Chen Zhao couldn't go back to his room to rest at all.
Chen Zhao wanted to get another room.
But after thinking about it, he realized that there were only two hours until dawn.
He didn't have to get another room.
Plus, for Chen Zhao, there wasn't much difference between sleeping and not sleeping.
Chen Zhao didn't need to rely on sleep to recover his energy.
He just sat in the lobby and started playing on his phone.
Just then, a group of people entered the lobby.
Two burly bodyguards led the way. In the middle was a fair-skinned man with a few assistants around him.
While the assistants were checking in, the man walked to Chen Zhao's table.
The two bodyguards were about to chase Chen Zhao away and let their employer sit down.
Suddenly, the man shouted, "Mr. Chen!"
Chen Zhao looked up. "Wang He, why are you here?"
"Mr. Chen, why are you here?"
The two bodyguards thought that it was a close call. They'd almost bumped into their employer's friend.
Chen Zhao glanced at the two bodyguards. "They're your bodyguards?"
"Uh … Yeah."
Perhaps it was because of their low status, but Wang He always felt like he couldn't raise his head before Chen Zhao.
They were afraid of Chen Zhao abroad. Technically, Chen Zhao's influence in the country should be gone.
But he still instinctively feared Chen Zhao.
"Do you have such a big lineup in the middle of the night?"
Wang He's team had 12 bodyguards and assistants.
Wang He became even more embarrassed. "It's because without such a big lineup, we probably wouldn't even be able to get out of the airport," he explained.
"It's so late. Are there still fans picking you up?"
"Can't help it. It's all arranged by the company." Wang He said with a wry smile, "Actually, our whereabouts will be disclosed by the company to our fans and then arranged for our fans to come and pick us up at the airport. If there are no fans to pick us up at the airport, the next day the entertainment news will probably report that a certain celebrity's popularity has plummeted. So even at night, other than a small number of true fans, there are also some professional fans who have been hired by the company. They are there to cheer for us celebrities."
"Okay, looks like it's hard on you too." Chen Zhao could understand.
The seemingly glamorous superstars also had their own unknown hardships.
Of course, even so, there were still many young people who wanted to become famous.
"By the way, Mr. Chen, why are you here?"
"I'm coming back with my family for a few days," Chen Zhao said.
"But … shouldn't you be resting now?"
"The bed's been taken," Chen Zhao said helplessly.
Wang He couldn't help but chuckle. That made sense.
This was the only reason why Chen Zhao would sit here.
At this time, a woman wearing glasses walked over.
"Ah He, pay attention to your image. Don't interact with strangers for no reason. The check-in procedures are done. Let's go back to our rooms. We still have activities tomorrow."
"Sister Li, this is my friend, not a stranger."
"Ah He, you have to understand that you're an international superstar now. Don't make friends with just anyone. It's easy to be led into a ditch."
Wang He thought that he was already very close to Chen Zhao.
There wouldn't be any cracks just because of a few stupid words from others.
However, his own manager's words still made him feel very embarrassed.
That's right, it was extremely embarrassing.
It was fine if Sister Li talked to clients like this normally.
After all, as his own manager, he had to maintain a certain style most of the time.
Therefore, an arrogant attitude would often have different effects.
But Chen Zhao was different. Chen Zhao wasn't his fan, nor was he his client.
On the contrary, he was indebted to Chen Zhao.
"Wang He, did you change your manager?" Chen Zhao asked.
Chen Zhao had an impression of Wang He's previous manager. She seemed to be a little girl.
She probably wasn't as old as Wang He, but she had three artists, including Wang He.
"Sister Li, it was arranged by the company," Wang He said calmly.
From his tone, Chen Zhao could vaguely sense that he was dissatisfied with the company.
If he could, Wang He would rather have the previous manager.
Although she was a little unfamiliar with the business, she was still better than the current Sister Li.
Sister Li was a very domineering manager. To put it bluntly, she was very controlling.
And with Wang He's current status in the entertainment industry …
To put it more arrogantly, he was the movie superstar with the most box office appeal.
What he needed was a manager who could serve him.
He didn't need a manager who treated him like a toy and controlled his actions constantly.
No matter how good Sister Li was, she wouldn't be accepted by Wang He.
Actually, in the entertainment industry, big artists usually had mid-level managers. Mid-level managers had certain connections and business skills, but they weren't bad-tempered and were easy to get along with. Most of the time, they would listen to the artist's decisions.
Big managers, on the other hand, worked with newcomers because they had the means to control them.
Moreover, they had a higher chance of helping newcomers debut or even become famous.
These were all industry conventions. It wasn't like there weren't big-name managers working with big-name artists in the entertainment industry.
But the best outcome was to work together for a year or two and then break up peacefully.
Most of the collaborations ended in a heated argument and ended on bad terms.
It was understandable that the manager had the most resources and connections in the company and was also the best at business.
But Wang He was already the number one in the company now.
In terms of status, he was even more popular than Chen Ke, the actress.
Of course, the two didn't have conflicting resources and Chen Zhao was the middleman.
So, the two had a good relationship. After all, they were both the number one brother and sister in the company, so they didn't have any conflicts in private.
On the other hand, Wang He's popularity and charisma were much stronger than Chen Ke's.
So, he wouldn't be submissive to his manager and the company like before.
He could express his emotions and thoughts at will.
But the company had arranged a manager like Sister Li for him.
He couldn't accept this.
Both of them had their own tempers.
So, it was only a matter of time before this team disbanded.
"Are you going to change managers? Or change companies? "Chen Zhao asked.
Chen Zhao remembered that the head of this company was also Chen Ke's manager.
Wang He glanced at Sister Li. Hearing Chen Zhao's words, Sister Li's expression changed.
But she didn't soften. Instead, she stared at Wang He coldly.
She wanted to see how Wang He would answer.
