Qi Yuying, who appeared at Yang Hua’s door, was not as angry as Yang Hua had imagined. Instead, she looked sad. Yang Hua did not know why Qi Yuying suddenly came to look for him again. He could only look at her quietly and wait for her to explain her purpose.

Qi Yuying kept looking at Yang Hua with her head down while her expression kept changing. After a while, she finally muttered to herself with an extremely regretful and sad expression, “I’m sorry, I’m really sorry.”

“No, no!” Upon hearing Qi Yuying’s apology, Yang Hua quickly stood up with a bitter smile. “It was indeed my fault for touching your script without discussing it with you in advance. It’s not wrong for you to be angry.”

“I really didn’t mean to scold you. I’m sorry.” Qi Yuying was so sad and anxious that she almost cried again.

Qi Yuying would never apologize if she did not feel extremely regretful. She was the kind of woman who was extremely stubborn. Qi Yuying had never treated Yang Hua as an important person. However, this period of time was probably the time when Qi Yuying suffered the most setbacks in her twenties. She was at her lowest. Qi Yuying did not realize that at this moment, Yang Hua was like a safe haven in her heart. When she said those outrageous words and Yang Hua went silent, she became more and more anxious.

It could be said that Qi Yuying, who had no relatives since high school, valued her friends more than anything else. However, Wang Ruoxi had already cut ties with her because of that bastard Li Hongwei. What if Yang Hua also became cold to her because of what had just happened? Then wouldn’t she have no friends? At the thought of this, Qi Yuying was so regretful that she almost wanted to commit suicide again.

Yang Hua knew what kind of person Qi Yuying was. Perhaps it was her early single life that taught her how to protect herself, so she always deliberately made herself look like she knew everything, but she was actually a very simple girl. She was very suspicious of the people around her and would not easily trust a person. However, once she chose to trust someone, she would definitely treat that person with utmost sincerity.

In Yang Hua’s life, which was filled with bad luck, he had seen too many hypocrites. Yang Hua had been betrayed by his friends more than once or twice. He understood how Qi Yuying felt at this moment. In fact, Yang Hua had a good impression of this innocent girl. Seeing her haggard and sad face, he almost wanted to walk over and hug her to comfort her.

Yang Hua couldn’t help but take a step forward before he stopped and said anxiously, “It’s okay. It’s really okay.” After saying that, Yang Hua took a deep breath and put on a comforting smile as he slowed down and continued, “I know you’ve been in a bad mood recently. If I can’t even understand this, what right do I have to be your assistant?”

“Do you really forgive me?” Qi Yuying wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and blinked again. She asked Yang Hua with uncertainty.

“What do you mean by forgive?” Yang Hua smiled and said, “I should say that I admit my mistake. You should be the one to forgive me.”

“Mhm, then…” Yang Hua’s words made Qi Yuying smile immediately. However, before she could finish her sentence, her phone rang again.

“Then you have to help me revise the script in the future.” Qi Yuying quickly said this and wiped the corners of her eyes before walking back to the living room to pick up the phone.

After Qi Yuying walked out of the room, Yang Hua glanced at his watch. It was 4:32 p.m. It must be Director Zhang calling. Yang Hua sighed. If Qi Yuying still insisted on not using the script he wrote, it would depend on whether she had the ability to persuade Director Zhang to give her another day.

“Director Zhang? Yes, I’m Qi Yuying. What was that? Director Zhang, the script for this TV series has always been me… You can’t do this. We have a contract!”

When Yang Hua walked into the living room, Qi Yuying had already started arguing with Director Zhang. However, Qi Yuying, who had just entered society, was naturally no match for Director Zhang.

“I know we have a contract.” Director Zhang’s voice was clearly heard by Yang Hua over the phone. “But Yuying, you’ve already violated the contract. Actually, the TV station has been urging me to change the screenwriter for the past few days. It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I can’t stop the show because of you, right?”

“But…” Qi Yuying shouted anxiously, “you can’t just replace me like this! What about the future?”

“If you can’t handle it alone, we’ll take turns using both of your scripts in the future. Three episodes a week might be a little too much. In the future, you’ll write two episodes a week and he’ll be in charge of one. This is also the intention of the TV station.”

“No! This is definitely not possible!” Qi Yuying called out anxiously.

“Then what should we do? You can’t expect me to tell others that we’re only using your script for one episode and that you don’t have to do it in the future, right? How can there be such logic in this world?” Director Zhang was also gradually dissatisfied with Qi Yuying’s attitude, and his tone gradually became stern.

“Then…” Upon hearing Director Zhang’s words, Qi Yuying bit her lip anxiously. “What if I hand the script over to you now?”

“What? Are you done? Why didn’t you say so just now? Can’t you just say that you have a script? If you can hand over the script, how can I not help you?”

Director Zhang reprimanded Qi Yuying angrily and anxiously. This little girl was already on the verge of death, so how could she still be in the mood to joke?

“Mhm, there’s a reason… I’m a little dissatisfied with what I wrote in this episode…” Qi Yuying lied to Director Zhang through the microphone with a flushed face. She didn’t dare to say that Yang Hua had helped her write the script. She was afraid that once Director Zhang heard that she had hired a ghostwriter, he would immediately strip her of the right to write the script in the future.

“It’s okay. It’s okay! I’ll get the assistant director to take a look, and then I’ll help you edit it myself.” Actually, Director Zhang did not want to use someone else’s script for this TV series. He had worked with Qi Yuying for so long, and he doted on this little girl as if she was his daughter. He would never do something that made her unhappy unless he had no other choice.

“Yes… Thank you.” On the other end of the phone, Qi Yuying quickly put down the phone and ran back to her room to send the script that Yang Hua had just given her.

“Director Zhang, are you going to shoot this episode today?”

“Humph! I was planning to shoot it today. The main leads had been waiting in the studio! In the end, there was no script. Now that they had all gone back, what is the point of filming?

“It’s just that the TV station said that they want to see the script today.”

“I’m fine. Director Zhang, don’t worry. I’ll definitely hand in the script on time in the future.”

“Alright then. Mhm, I’ve received the script. Let me take a look first.”

“Wait a minute… Director Zhang, if I can give you another script tomorrow, can you put aside the one you just received? I think I might have to modify it first…”

“Tomorrow? Well… Alright then. But Yuying, I’m really worried about you. If you can’t, don’t force yourself. Be careful not to damage your body.”

“I understand. Goodbye, Director Zhang.” After saying that, Qi Yuying hung up the phone gently.

As soon as she hung up the phone, Qi Yuying turned around and saw Yang Hua standing behind her. She knew that Yang Hua had heard her conversation with Director Zhang. She immediately lowered her head in shame and walked back to her room. However, she was not ashamed because she did not let the director shoot Yang Hua’s script, but because she had actually handed over the script that originally belonged to Yang Hua as her own.

Qi Yuying would be unhappy if she only asked someone else to write the script for one episode, but she wouldn’t mind. However, Qi Yuying was not willing to take other people’s things for herself. This was equivalent to deception, and it was exactly what she hated the most. Qi Yuying felt that she could not lift her head in front of Yang Hua at all because what she had done just now was so despicable that she hated herself.

However, Yang Hua, who had heard everything from behind, had completely different thoughts from Qi Yuying. He did not care if he was credited because he wanted to help Qi Yuying. What made him laugh bitterly in his heart was that he did not expect Qi Yuying to refuse to let the director shoot it even though she used his script in the end. Yang Hua didn’t know whether it was she who insisted on her beliefs and professional ethics or she was too stubborn.

Qi Yuying, who had returned to her room, was still anxious and uneasy. As long as she remembered that she had handed the script that was clearly written by Yang Hua to Director Zhang as her own, she would feel so ashamed that her entire body would burn. She sat in front of the computer and tried her best to immerse herself in the script of the new episode, but she could not get rid of that feeling. Moreover, as long as she thought that Director Zhang would probably start shooting Yang Hua’s script into a series tomorrow, she would be anxious.

In this state, Qi Yuying forced herself to write the script word by word. She had another sleepless night. Early the next morning, the groggy Qi Yuying woke Yang Hua up and handed him the script that she had spent the entire night putting together on her computer. Then, she held her dizzy head and rested.
