Chapter 411: Chapter 411: You Really Hold a Strong Grudge
The lead director, who understood the entire process, had an unpleasant look on his face and his voice lowered a few notches.
“The live broadcast cara is still on, we will investigate this thoroughly, just go about your business.”
“Assistant director, this doesn’t seem quite right,” Yu Li stepped forward with a smile, looking at him, “Is this how your show handles ergencies? This is irresponsible not only to the guests but also to the audience.”
[Yes, I support Dean Yu’s point of view! This is being irresponsible to us!]
[Are they treating us like we’re blind? Even if you’re domineering, you can’t just coldly handle it like this, right?]
[This is disgusting, the assistant director is so resistant, could it really be related to the production team?]
In no ti, Jiang Li’s fans all protested, and even passersby were indignant, running to Weibo to call out Wilderness Survival’s official account.
Seeing things getting out of hand, Zheng Xun’s voice, frantic and frustrated, resounded through the assistant director’s earpiece.
“What the hell is going on? Sort this out imdiately, if this show gets canned because of this, you can all get lost!”
The assistant director’s complexion changed, and then he ordered soone to help the collapsed staff mber up.
“You, tell , what exactly happened? Was it your clumsy mistake?”
The staff mber’s lips turned pale, and his body started shaking. As he was about to speak, a low voice sounded in his ear—
“You’re 25 years old, born in a poor rural family with a younger brother and sister. As soon as you finished high school, you ca out to make a living, doing all sorts of odd and tiring jobs, and it was only with great effort that you managed to interview for a job here.”
The staff mber was shocked and turned his head, only to see the cold and silent Jiang Li.
He was about to question how she knew his personal information when he heard her speak again softly:
“I also see that your parents’ palace of wealth is indented; your father must be ill and in urgent need of dical expenses. They must have given you a decent amount of money, right? But what I want to say is, if you lie today, your fortune will be affected. Even if you return ho with this money, you won’t get to see your father’s last mont.”
The staff mber was completely panicked, also rembering that she indeed had a reputation for fortune-telling.
He loved his parents dearly, and if not for the dical expenses, he wouldn’t have done such a thing.
But…
The staff mber clenched his fists tighter.
At that mont, another voice ca over, “Are you worried about your father’s illness? If you tell the truth, I can have soone take a look at him.”
Seeing Yu Li, who also lowered his voice, the staff mber was startled.
Of course, he knew the identity of this man as well—the heir of a famous traditional Chinese dicine family in Hua Country. If his father could receive his treatnt, maybe there really was hope!
“You, you can really save my father?”
“A promise from a gentleman is worth more than any horse in pursuit,” Yu Li spoke and then looked toward Jiang Li, “Sorry, I didn’t an to eavesdrop on your conversation. I’ve had good hearing since I was a child, so…”
Jiang Li: “….”
No need to make up such excuses.
“What are you all muttering about?” the assistant director scolded coldly, then turned to the staff mber, “It was who asked you to arrange the abstract segnt, tell , what exactly is going on?”
“I, I….” The staff mber glanced at Jiang Li, then closed his eyes and shouted, “Wasn’t it you who told to replace all the balls in the box with number one balls after drawing from Team 7? Because you said Jiang Li offended soone he shouldn’t have, and this was the only way to please that person!”
“Hiss—”
Everyone present took a sharp intake of breath.
The live stream’s chat was blank for a second, then started rolling madly.
[???! What?]
“Damn, was it the assistant director who sabotaged us? Was he just trying to make this crew mber take the fall?”
“Where’s Zheng Xun? Co out and deal with your people! How can you tolerate such a person as an assistant director?!”
“That’s disgusting, Jiang Li really got the short end of the stick.”
“Am I the only one curious about who Jiang Li has offended?”
“Isn’t that easy to guess? It must be the Demon King of the Jin Family.”
For a mont, everyone’s expressions were varied.
Nina’s face changed color, seemingly indignant as she glared at the crew mber.
The assistant director’s neck slowly reddened, eventually turning the color of liver.
“What the hell are you talking about?!”
He never expected the other party to rat him out and stepped forward, hand raised.
Just as his hand was about to co down, Zheng Xun arrived with security and imdiately restrained him.
“Sun Guangxin, do you realize what you’re doing? You’re about to throw all our show’s reputation away!”
Zheng Xun’s face was sour to the extre, but it returned to normal as he turned around.
“This was a mistake by our production team, and I apologize to everyone. Rest assured, I will definitely give you a satisfactory response. As for Team 8’s draw… what just happened is void, we will redo it.”
Then, under Zheng Xun’s signal, several bodyguards took the assistant director away, and the crew mber followed, neck shrunken.
Yu Li frowned slightly and subconsciously walked over to Jiang Li’s side.
“Do you think Zheng Xun will handle this by the book?”
“He has to, even if he doesn’t want to,” Jiang Li said. “This is live broadcast, it probably hit the trending searches by now. If he doesn’t give the audience an explanation, the show might really be done for.”
True to Jiang Li’s expectation, Zheng Xun then posted on Weibo, stating that he had fired the assistant director and called for his industry-wide banishnt, implying the man would no longer have a place in the industry.
And about that crew mber, although he also beca the assistant director’s accomplice, considering he finally reported him, the production decided not to pursue it further, paid him his full salary, and also dismissed him.
In the end, he even apologized to Jiang Li in the comnt section.
With matters handled to this extent, it could be said that Zheng Xun had shown consideration, and the audience as well as Jiang Li’s fans did not continue to harp on it, choosing to continue watching the show.
The lottery box was brought back up, and Jiang Li didn’t let the netizens’ expectations down, pulling out a number 9 ball this ti.
The number 10 team, which had the loudest laughs at Jiang Li before, held a number 1 ball and ca back with gloomy faces.
Seeing this, Yu Li leaned in and whispered in her ear, “Didn’t think you’d be so vindictive.”
Jiang Li gave him a look.
Yu Li laughed and said, “Forgot? I have good ears, and I just overheard you telling Team 9 to feel for the balls on the right side of the box—you’d directed them right to the number 5 ball.”
Jiang Li: “…”
“Don’t talk nonsense, I didn’t do anything.”
Third Master’s mood improved as well, even going so far as to pat Jiang Li on the shoulder.
“Well done. For such thin arms and legs, you’re surprisingly useful.”
Nina was even less pleased.
“So what if you drew a ball? Does that make you useful? Just don’t be the first to cry when we get to the island.”
