“Chen Li, what did those people tell you to do?” the director asked.

“They told to pay compensation, and that I would have to pay over 100,000 yuan… Wu, wu, wu…” When Chen Li thought about how she had suddenly taken on a debt of over 100,000 yuan, she fell to her knees in despair.

“It’s like this, Chen Li. You also know that we are very particular about reputation when we film a show, but the mont this incident of yours cos out, you would be affecting the whole show.” The director seed to have considered for a very long ti when he said this, “Thus, you may have to withdraw from the show.”

“Then what about the money that you promised to give my parents?” Chen Li didn’t even raise her head, and it was as if she had lost her soul.

“That money can only be given to you if you participate in all the recordings. Now that you have withdrawn for personal reasons, we will not give you this sum of money.”

“Director… please, please don’t do this. My parents really need this money…” Chen Li tugged at the director’s trouser leg as she begged.

The director rely shook his head.

Hence, on Monday, Chen Li didn’t return to the school.

At the sa ti, the director also inford everyone that Chu An would replace Chen Li as the new permanent participant.

When this piece of news ca out online, it imdiately climbed to the top of the list of trending searches. After all, the incident had just happened, and the director had already removed her na from the list. He had even replaced her with the very popular Chu An, which won countless positive reviews for the director.

Though there would occasionally be a few discussions about the show and the script in the comnts section, they were all overshadowed by an overwhelming denunciation of Chen Li.

It could only be said that the online world had a short-term mory.

However, people had mories.

Gu Xiao and the others were all aware that Chen Li had already beco soone else’s stepping stone. The death of Aunty Wang and Chen Li’s withdrawal had updated the mories of the netizens, causing them to forget all of Ji Yao and ng Fei’s previous misdeeds.

The masses were outraged, and even so of their classmates were discussing this matter.

“You’ve beco a permanent participant?” When she was handing in her assignnts, Gu Xiao asked Chu An while she was at it.

“En, the production team communicated with my father, and when they communicated, they didn’t tell about Chen Li withdrawing,” Chu An replied as he sorted through his exercise book.

“My father also said that he heard that the schedule for the show has been shortened, so it’s not planning to continue filming after this month ends.” Chu An handed his howork to the class representative, and continued when he?returned

.

“What!” Gu Xiao exclaid in shock, drawing the attention of her classmates.

“Many things have exceeded the expectations of the director’s team, and also caused so people to be dissatisfied, right? So investors have directly withdrawn their investnt. The funds for the show were not enough, so they could only shorten the schedule.”

Chu An looked at Gu Xiao, whose eyes were widened like she was a frightened kitten. He couldn’t help but pat her head, saying, “So cute.”

Gu Xiao’s face instantly flushed red, and the surrounding students all hooted. Gu Xiao hurriedly pulled Chu An’s hand down from her head.

Chu An smiled, then asked, “What are you planning to do after the show finishes? Go back to your ho?”

“I haven’t thought about it yet. At first, I thought there would still be so ti.” Gu Xiao sighed.

“Why don’t you stay in the No. 1 High School?” Chu An suggested.

“Can I?!” Gu Xiao was both shocked and delighted. If it weren’t for the fact that there were so many people present, she would definitely give Chu An a bear hug.

“I can help you settle the matter of an entrance spot, and added with the fact that it’s not like you’re not working hard yourself, the form teacher also likes you quite a lot. Though your results can only be considered average now, you’ve only been in school for a week, and that’s already very impressive.” Chu An did not hold back in praising Gu Xiao.

“Thank you, Chu An,” Gu Xiao said happily.

The ti for studies passed in the blink of an eye. After Chu An and Gu Xiao returned to the dormitory, Gu Xiao began to study earnestly, while Chu An was greeted with the gossip from his roommates.

“Chu An, tell !” Li Xiang and Wang Ming asked at the sa ti.

“What else could it be? It’s just like what you guys imagine it to be.” Chu An didn’t avoid the topic at all, and answered directly.

“I couldn’t tell, Old Chu. Is the iron tree really?blooming?

” Li Xiang and Wang Ming’s mouths were both wide open in shock.

“What do you an by ‘the iron tree is really blooming’? I’ve liked her since childhood.” Chu An couldn’t be bothered to deal with those two people.

“We have a sister-in-law!” The two of them were laughing foolishly over there.
