Chapter 1157: There Can Only Be Me Without Her

“Lu Man,” Lu Dongliu repeated himself.

Liang Chengbing’s face immediately hardened. “You think a C-list celebrity like Lu Man is fit to be on the same show as me? Director Lu, the guests that you mentioned previously were all not bad, but Lu Man? Her celebrity status is obviously not high enough for her to be on the same show as us. Won’t it be too strange to bring her on the show?”

They were all A-listers. Even the lowest-ranking ones were the best of the B-list celebrities or directors. The sudden addition of Lu Man skewed the whole picture.

Lu Dongliu understood the implication behind Liang Chengbing’s words. Lu Man’s celebrity status might not be the only thing he was disdainful of.

Liang Chengbing’s words were very harsh.

Lu Dongliu frowned. Liang Chengbing’s actions were effectively out to ban Lu Man!

Be it for this show or for other events, as long as he, Liang Chengbing, was to attend, Lu Man would not be allowed to attend.

Liang Chengbing had said this rather confidently as well. When he said it, he even smiled afterward.

He felt that anyone with brains would know which choice to make.

He was an A-list director. A C-list actress like Lu Man was obviously not comparable to his caliber.

Take that episode that Lu Man participated in, for example. Actually
