<h4>Chapter 238 - Better Roles (2)</h4>


    Su Xiaofei was looking at him with scrutiny, which made Qin Muyao sit straight and nod his head in understanding. She was beautiful to look at, alright, but Su Xiaofei''s serious face was intimidating even for Qin Muyao.


    "I apologize. I''ll listen to your advice from now on, Manager Su." He responded. It was a mistake on his part to think that Su Xiaofei wouldn''t be strict as his manager.


    In his previous agency, his manager and the upper management were the ones who decided which project to take on and what not. Qin Muyao had never questioned them, as he feared that if he dared to oppose their decision, he would be suppressed in the future.


    That was why most of the previous roles were male leads with a humble and gentle personality, who loved the female lead unconditionally. Actually, he was starting to get tired of ying the same thing and wanted to try something new.


    Qin Muyao was d that he was able to find a manager who truly understood his wants and needs. Someone who also took his opinions seriously.


    "Then, what do you think of those rejected scripts?" Su Xiaofei asked once again.


    "I''ve seen it earlier, and I believe that they aren''t challenging enough as I''ve already yed the same roles in the past, so I agree with your decision, Manager Su."


    "Good." Su Xiaofei was pleased with his answer this time. "It''s good to be vocal with your opinions once in a while. I expect that you would not only work hard, but work smart."


    Yun Qingrong was paying attention to how her daughter handled her first talent, and she couldn''t be more proud seeing how attentive Su Xiaofei was. She loved her daughter, and no matter how unruly she could be at times, Yun Qingrong still treated her well.


    However, seeing her daughter being so mature and professional almost made her tear up. The beautiful baby she once held in her arms now had so much potential in running thepany she had built over the past two decades.


    Of course, her Feifei still had so much to learn, but Yun Qingrong would make sure to impart most of her knowledge and teach her daughter to be resilient even through the stormiest days toe.


    "Alright. It''s settled then." Su Xiaofei continued. "Please study your script for "The Poisonous Concubine" and be sure to be on time for yourmitments. I expect that your new assistant has reported to you?"


    "En. Thanks again, Manager Su."


    Before the young actor left, Su Xiaofei didn''t forget to introduce Xi Qian to him. He was kind enough to take a selfie with her and signed his autograph for her.


    Xi Qian temporarily forgot her worries as she fawned over how she was able to meet her idol that day. She didn''t waste time and posted a selfie on her social media profile.


    Meanwhile, Lu Qingfeng requested a private meeting with Yun Qingrong, which baffled Su Xiaofei. What was so important that he wanted to speak to her mother privately, but couldn''t bother to tell her what it was?


    "This won''t take long, Feifei. I''lle to find you and Xi Qian once I''m done speaking with Aunty Qing." Lu Qingfeng told her.


    Su Xiaofei narrowed her eyes on him with suspicion.


    "Fine. You don''t have to tell me if you don''t want to." She harrumphed and dragged Xi Qian with her to the training room, where the other new recruits and Xiao Rufeng were. Since she had missed the morning sses, she wanted to know Xiao Rufeng''s now.


    "Feifei, are you sure it''s alright for us toe here?" Xi Qian asked when she read thebel, indicating that they had just arrived at the training room for recruits.


    "It''s okay, Qian. The afternoon ss should be over by now. So we aren''t disturbing anyone." Su Xiaofei answered her, her eyes sweeping around the room to find Xiao Rufeng.


    She found the young woman at a corner, busy wrapping her ankle with a bandage. Xiao Rufeng flinched when she identally touched her swollen ankle and hissed in pain.


    "What happened to you?" Su Xiaofei had a bad feeling about this. Although she wasn''t consistently joining the sses for the new recruits, she was aware that someone had started bullying Xiao Rufeng during her absence.


    "Oh, Xiao Fei. You''ve missed the ss again." Xiao Rufeng replied, but seeing Su Xiaofei''s hardened expression, she suddenly felt ufortable.


    "It''s nothing, Xiao Fei. I just twisted my ankle too hard when I was practicing." She lied, but Su Xiaofei already knew the truth. She just needed to confirm it by checking the recordings on the cameraster.


    "That doesn''t look good, Miss. Do you mind if I check on it?" Xi Qian frowned upon seeing Xi Qian''s injury. No wonder Su Xiaofei wanted toe here to see her friend. She must have known something like this could happen.


    Xiao Rufeng stared at Xi Qian, then turned to Su Xiaofei as if she was asking for her permission.


    "Please, Qian. Can you give her first aid before we bring her to the clinic?" Su Xiaofei answered for Xiao Rufeng, given that thetter was hesitating to ept help from Xi Qian.


    "Okay."


    Xi Qian immediately knelt beside Xiao Rufeng and pulled out a cold spray from her backpack.


    "Don''t worry. This is just a cold spray I always bring with me when I''m out. Just like you, I sometimes sprain my ankle. This should help lessen the swelling, but I suggest you use an ice pack every two to three hours until the swelling subsides. It won''t hurt to also get a check at the clinic, just in case the doctor wants to prescribe you some pain relievers."


    "Thank you, Miss…" Xiao Rufeng''s words trailed off when she realized she didn''t know who Su Xiaofei''spanion was.


    "I''m Xi Qian. I''m also Feifei''s friend.. It''s good to know that she is able to make friends here."
