At the halfway point of the mountain, Han Ling and Co. were following behind the programme crew as they slowly made their way uphill. There were a total of eight people participating in the programme and they were allowed to pick their own routes, they just needed to be followed by two cameramen. The large majority of the group was following Xia Xuan.

"Xuan-jie says she wants to rest. Director, let's rest for a bit." Xia Xuan's assistant ran to the director to say arrogantly. Without waiting for a reply, she ran back to Xia Xuan's side. Helpless, the director could only allow everyone to take a rest.

Han Ling gulped down some iced water a crew member had given her as she stared speechlessly at Xia Xuan who was currently being waited on hand and foot. "This is already the sixth time we've stopped to rest and we've only made it halfway up. By the time we reach the top, it'll probably be night-time already. If I'd known this earlier, I'd have followed Wan-jie up just now."

The other three drew closer and Fang Jinyu gave a crafty smile. "I know why Wan-jie wants us to follow the programme crew now."

"Why?"

Fang Jinyu waved a phone. With the tacit understanding they shared, the others immediately understood.

The four sat huddled together and discussed in low voices. It was mostly Fang Jinyu and Han Ling speaking with Yan Ze and Jiang Ming listening.

"Hey, you guys, go down the mountain and buy some spring water for Xuan-jie!" At some point, Xia Xuan's assistant was standing next to them as she ordered them around arrogantly.

The people in the surroundings had scattered further away so the closest people were these four. And since the average age of this group probably wouldn't exceed 20, Xia Xuan's assistant locked on to them.

Fang Jinyu looked at the assistant. "I thought the programme crew prepared water?"

"Xuan-jie doesn't drink from that brand. What are you still yammering on for? Hurry up and go."

"Sorry, we're not a member of the programme crew." Yan Ze stood up and politely smiled at the assistant. "Can big sister go and ask one of the programme crew to buy it for Xuan-jie? See... we're tired too."

The assistant scowled before ridiculing. "Young people should exercise more. It's just going to get some water, what are you so unhappy about? In this circle, improving relations is the most important skill.

Han Ling pulled on Yan Ze, preventing him from saying anymore. "What type of brand does Xuan-jie drink? We'll go and buy it for her."

"Now that's more like it."

The assistant told them the brand name and urged them to hurry up before strutting off.

"Han Ling, what did you stop me for?" Yan Ze was still upset. 'That woman was clearly bullying us!'

"Xia Xuan is one of the Top Actresses and has a lot of influence. Even though the people by her side weren't polite, look at how nice she is; Even the director was beguiled by her. We haven't even made our debut yet, how are we going to be able to go against her?"

Han Ling was the eldest so she saw more clearly than the other three.

"Then are just going to take this lying down?" Fang Jinyu was still a bit upset.

"Why would you think that?" Han Ling smiled. "Have you guys forgotten who's waiting at the top?"

The eyes of the other three lit up. 'Wan-jie is up there!'

Han Ling went to inform the programme crew before bringing Yan Ze down the mountain to buy water. That crewmember had wanted to go but had been politely declined by Han Ling.
