The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 951 Frankness

The storm was raging and the rage was overwhelming, and Edgar rarely lost his composure.

Yet Anson remained calm, even a little too calm to be disturbing.

Edgar's breath was stuck in his chest. He also realized that he was in the wrong in this matter after all. Even if his reasons were sufficient, the fact was that Edgar had done something behind Anson's back. In the end, he rejected Gary in Anson's name, and Anson still had to bear the consequences.

Perhaps, judging from the reasons and the results, Edgar is right with sufficient reasons and clear position; but the process is shameful.

Dirty means.

Not only did he act behind Anson's back, but he also used the opponent's power to drag in the entire "Spider-Man 2" crew, cutting off any possibility of cooperation in an ignominious way.

This is the point.

Perhaps, it was precisely because of his inner guilt that Edgar was so aggressive and vented his anger in one go, trying to take the initiative, blur the focus, occupy the commanding heights, and cover up his guilty conscience.

After venting his anger, Edgar felt uneasy.

"Anson..."

Unexpectedly, Anson's gaze shifted and looked back, and Edgar also turned his head to look over there.

"Eve, what do you think?"

Eve and Noah were standing at the entrance of the villa hall and should have heard everything.

Eve took a deep breath and said, "I stand with Edgar."

As soon as he finished speaking, Noah walked towards Anson silently.

Anson was also full of questions and didn't understand what Noah was doing. As a result, he saw Noah standing obediently behind Anson, without saying a word, but expressing his position with actions.

Anson laughed dumbly.

Eve didn't relax when she saw Anson's smile.

"Anson, you are responsible for emotional thinking, while Edgar and I are responsible for rational thinking. We make those cold, objective, and correct judgments and decisions. These decisions are not pleasing to others and may even be destructive, destroying your friendship, your love, and your social relationships."

"But that's our job, we're responsible for planning your career, not your private life."

"Edgar is right."

"Yes, I know the means are not clean, but I don't think there is any problem."

"We are not kindhearted little white rabbits. Believe me, we have a lot of blood on our hands. It's just that we hurt Gary Marshall's feelings a little bit. It's not worth mentioning at all. We may have destroyed some people's dreams and lives just to protect the interests of our clients."

“This world may look civilized, but in essence it is still a jungle where the strong prey on the weak.”

"If it were me, I would make the same choice as Edgar."

Objective, calm, even mechanical, without a trace of warmth.

Eve is different from Edgar, she is more rational and colder, analyzing purely from the perspective of interests -

Everything is digital.

Anson did not speak and remained silent throughout.

Such silence made Edgar feel uneasy, "Anson..."

Anson looked up, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

In fact, Anson knew that Edgar and Eve's analysis was correct. That was their job. They made the most favorable choice from a rational perspective.

Perhaps, rejecting "The Princess Diaries 2" is the right choice.

But the point is, Anson is not a real twenty-year-old young man. After living two lives, his goals may be slightly different.

Success? Of course it is important.

Money, fame, glory, why refuse?

Anson never denied this; but at the same time, happiness and joy are equally important, as are those friends and relatives, and those established connections. He doesn't want his second life to be filled with only cold numbers and empty bubbles.

So, what should we do?
"You should have told me."

Anson said.

Eve was stunned, and Edgar didn't react either. Anson repeated, "You should have told me what you just said."

Edgar opened his mouth and said, "But..."

Anson nodded. "Yes, I know. Maybe, after you have presented the facts and reasoned with me, I will still be emotional, I will still insist on my own way and make stupid mistakes, I will still be stubborn. This is possible."

“But this is what happened.”

"As an agent and a publicist, you have done your best to try to complete your work, but the actor still makes the wrong choice. You should let me suffer, ruin my own career, suffer the consequences of my wrong choice."

"And you also saw clearly the stupidity of this actor and jumped off the ship in time. There was no need to die in the sea together, even if this was the Titanic."

"Why, it's not uncommon in Hollywood for agents and publicists to end cooperation on their own initiative, right? You don't have to get stuck in the mud with the actors. This is the correct way to open a business cooperation, isn't it?"

Edgar:…

Eve:......

They were rational and calm enough to analyze reality in an almost cruel way, but they never expected that Anson was even more cruel than them.

"Haha." Anson's mouth curled up slightly. "Captain, you are right. Maybe after you said those words, I would still choose to join the crew. For me, success is very, very important, but it is not the only important thing."

"This is a fact, and I am not prepared to deny it."

"Nevertheless, I still hope that you can be honest with me and have an open conversation."

"Do you remember the beginning of our cooperation?"

"You have ambition, and so do I, so we hit it off right away; but ambition is premised on mutual respect and trust, so we came here together. Otherwise, the clash of two ambitious people would most likely be a disaster."

"Captain, I need you to trust me. Otherwise, you can end this partnership at any time. I don't mind."

"Whether it's you or Eve, if you choose to hide it, if you refuse to believe me, it means that you are treating me as a stupid vase."

"So, in your eyes, I am a vase with a brain filled with cotton?"

It was an understatement, but Edgar's heart sank.

Because Edgar knew that Anson was serious.

Edgar opened his mouth and was about to say something, but he found that Anson was looking at Eve.

"you, too."

"Believe me, I know how dirty PR is and I'm not some spotless angel, just look at TMZ, you know how they develop it?"

"Eve, you won't still treat me as a good child, right?"

The corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Eve was stunned.

Unlike Edgar, Eve really had never seen this side of Anson.

Eve always believed that Anson was just a young master who was ignorant of the world. His family background was not top-notch, but he was middle class. He had never seen the sufferings of the world, nor had he experienced the darkness of society. He could not tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes, so he was greatly disappointed by Edgar's behavior.

但现在看来，她错了.

Eve couldn't help but look at Anson twice more——

As a public relations person, she has more than a dozen clients. Add in ad hoc cases, and the things she needs to deal with every month pile up like a mountain. She thinks she has developed a pair of eagle eyes.

Now Eve had to admit that she might have been wrong about Anson.

Eve's bright red lips lifted up slightly, and her eyes raised slightly, "Maybe, starting today, it won't be the same anymore."

Finally, Edgar calmed down, stared at Anson in front of him quietly, waited patiently, and then spoke.

"So, what are you going to do now, end your partnership with me?"

Inevitably, Edgar still felt a little anxious, as this was the consequence he was most worried about; but he still mustered up the courage and did not continue to escape.

Face the challenges head on.
