“You… Didn’t you have dinner yesterday?” When Yang Hua returned to Qi Yuying’s house, it was only a little past eight in the morning. If Qi Yuying had eaten dinner last night, her stomach would not have made such a loud noise at this time.
“Mhm.” Qi Yuying knew that she could not hide it from him, so she simply admitted it shamelessly.
“Then I’ll go make breakfast for you.” As he was making breakfast, he kept saying, “I’m really sorry. If only I hadn’t forgotten to bring my phone last night, and I couldn’t remember your number… I’m sorry.” Yang Hua looked at Qi Yuying in shame and kept apologizing.
“Alright, I didn’t say I blamed you.” Qi Yuying pushed Yang Hua into the kitchen with a red face.
After venting the anger in her heart, Qi Yuying calmed down and thought about her actions. However, the more she thought about it, the shyer she felt. Speaking of which, even if Yang Hua didn’t come back, what right did she have to ask him to inform her? Moreover, she had waited for Yang Hua for the entire night, and she had even lost her temper when she didn’t see him. What was her relationship with Yang Hua?
Why was she so angry because he had only stayed outside for one night? At the thought of what she had done so inexplicably, Qi Yuying’s flustered face turned hot.
Yang Hua didn’t notice Qi Yuying’s bashful expression. After entering the kitchen, he immediately prepared two sets of breakfast for her and himself. The one for Qi Yuying was naturally the most sumptuous. While cooking, Yang Hua repeated what he had heard from Feng Xiuying to Qi Yuying. Of course, Yang Hua filtered the dirty things about Qi Yuying mentioned in the conversation.
“Did Producer Hu really say that?” Qi Yuying widened her eyes in disbelief as she looked at Yang Hua. She had met Producer Hu a few times. Although she did not have a deep impression of him, she did not think that he was such a bad person!
“I don’t think Feng Xiuying is lying. Besides, she doesn’t know Li Hongwei. Why would she make up stories about him?”
“I… What should I do?” Qi Yuying thought about it for a while, but she could not think of a solution to the problem. She could only walk around anxiously.
Even if she knew that it was a trap to expel her from the production team, she believed it when Yang Hua told her that. If she told Director Zhang, would he believe her? Even if Director Zhang believed her, what could he do? It was a fact that the quality of her script was problematic. If Hu Changyou insisted on firing her, Director Zhang would not be able to justify his help even if he wanted to.
“Don’t be anxious.” Yang Hua saw Qi Yuying’s anxious and helpless look and quickly pulled her to sit on the chair. “Think about who can help you. If you tell Director Zhang about this, will he not remove you?”
After being Qi Yuying’s assistant for two months, Yang Hua had a little understanding of the situation at City T’s TV station. If Qi Yuying was kicked out, Director Zhang would probably not be able to invite her back. This was because changing the screenwriter had to be agreed upon by both the producer and the director.
However, by the same logic, if Director Zhang insisted on not letting Qi Yuying leave before she was chased away, Producer Hu could not do anything. After all, he couldn’t control Director Zhang, who had been in the directing industry for many years. Moreover, Director Zhang was currently favored by the TV station’s higher-ups. They were still counting on Director Zhang to set a new high for their viewership ratings. How could they allow Producer Hu to trip him up?
“No way! Director Zhang said last time that he had already spoken to Producer Hu. If there are any more problems with the script, he will change the screenwriter.”
“But this time, it’s obvious that there’s a special situation!”
“Sigh, forget it.” Qi Yuying frowned and said, “He has helped me so much. I don’t know how to repay him. This time, he definitely had no choice. I don’t want to make things difficult for him. Director Zhang… sigh, his interpersonal relationships in the circle were not that good.
“Otherwise, with his qualifications and ability, how could he be appointed to film sitcoms? If I implicate Director Zhang, I really can’t forgive myself.”
Of course, she knew more about the relationship between Director Zhang and Producer Hu than Yang Hua. Because the TV station had invested in the production of this sitcom, Producer Hu, who represented the TV station in the filming, was largely equivalent to Director Zhang’s employer. If Producer Hu insisted on letting her go and had a legitimate reason, even if Director Zhang was unwilling, he couldn’t object.
“Then… what about Wang Ruoxi? What about Tang Xin? Aren’t they celebrities? If they suggest it to the director, it should work!”
Yang Hua was also a desperate person. Of course, he did not want Qi Yuying to be framed by others and be left without food and clothing.
“Hmm?” Qi Yuying’s eyes lit up when Yang Hua mentioned these two people.
That’s right! They were the main leads of the TV series. If they were willing to help and support her, Director Zhang would feel much less pressured. Qi Yuying was still very confident in her ability. She firmly believed that as long as she was given more time, she would definitely be able to write a script as good as the original one.
However, it was not a problem to find Wang Ruoxi but to look for Tang Xin… Other than the conversation they had in the restaurant, Qi Yuying had never interacted with Tang Xin. Qi Yuying felt that she might not agree to ask for such a big favor.
“I’ll go find Tang Xin, and you’ll look for Wang Ruoxi. What do you think?” Yang Hua hesitated for a while before saying. He felt that asking Tang Xin for help was a little demanding, but when he thought of the predicament Qi Yuying was facing, he finally made up his mind. Sigh, so be it if he left a bad impression on her. They probably wouldn’t meet again anyway.
That was what Yang Hua thought.
“Forget it! You’d better not look for Tang Xin.” Yang Hua thought it through, but Qi Yuying bit her lip and said, “I’ll try to get Ruoxi to help.”
“Why?”
“No reason.” Qi Yuying shook her head firmly. She didn’t understand why, but she just didn’t want Yang Hua to see his old classmate. However, when she saw Yang Hua’s slightly surprised expression, she still gave a reason. “I’m not familiar with her, so she might not be willing to help me. If you go to her, and she can’t agree to help when she’s in a difficult position, won’t it be very awkward when you meet her in the future?”
“How many more times can I see her?” Yang Hua smiled bitterly and spread his hands.
“Anyway, I don’t want it anymore!” Qi Yuying still shook her head and remained silent for a while. Suddenly, she blushed and said to Yang Hua, “But thank you.”
“It’s my duty. You’re my employer. What am I going to do if you lose your job? Haha, I’m doing this for myself.” Yang Hua knew that it was not a good time to make the atmosphere too heavy, so he quickly laughed and said.
Although the two of them were laughing, Qi Yuying did not agree to let Yang Hua look for Tang Xin in the end. After handing in the script, she immediately hid in her room and called Wang Ruoxi. The two of them talked on the phone for almost an hour. However, when they finished chatting and Qi Yuying walked into the living room to put down the phone, Yang Hua, who was in the room, saw Qi Yuying’s eyes glistening with tears.
