“Don’t go!” Hearing that Yang Hua was leaving again, Tang Xin shouted anxiously.

“What? Who wants to leave?” Manager Wang was stunned when he heard that. After he reacted, he quickly shouted into the phone, “You’re leaving? Leave carefully! Bye-bye!”

Manager Wang was in the newspaper office. How could he ask whether Tang Xin was trying to keep Yang Hua? He couldn’t wait for Yang Hua to leave Tang Xin’s house as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble.

With Manager Wang’s words, even if Tang Xin tried to persuade him to stay, Yang Hua would not be so thick-skinned as to continue staying in her house. He waved at Tang Xin and said goodbye before leaving the villa awkwardly. Only Tang Xin, who was also embarrassed to keep Yang Hua, lost her temper with Manager Wang on the phone. “It’s all your fault! You chased him away! Are you happy now?”

Slam! Tang Xin didn’t give Manager Wang a chance to speak again and hung up the phone with resentment.

Yang Hua, who got into the taxi, almost immediately subconsciously buried everything that he had experienced in Tang Xin’s house in his mind. The moment he entered the villa, his subconscious thought that no matter if Tang Xin was interested in him or not, the possibility of them being together was zero. After all, the gap between him and Tang Xin was too big.

By the time Yang Hua finally woke up from the blank state of mind caused by forcing himself to stop thinking, the taxi had already arrived at Qi Yuying’s house.

When Yang Hua returned home, Qi Yuying had already woken up from her sleep and was staring at the empty wall in a daze. Knowing that Tang Xin couldn’t help her, Yang Hua didn’t know how to tell her, so he could only sigh and walk to his room.

“You’re back.” Yang Hua had just opened the door when Qi Yuying’s bitter voice sounded.

“Mhm.” Yang Hua replied in a muffled voice. Although Yang Hua didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with rejecting Tang Xin’s help at her house just now, when he saw Qi Yuying’s listless look, he immediately felt sad and blamed himself.

“Sigh! I’m about to lose my job, and you can’t be an assistant anymore!” Qi Yuying smiled bitterly and asked, “Did you go out to look for a job?”

“No, I haven’t.” Yang Hua was silent for a while before saying, “I went to look for Tang Xin just now.” Although he subconsciously felt that Qi Yuying might be angry if he told her that he was going to look for Tang Xin, he was unwilling to lie, even if he only needed to snort. A man had to take responsibility for his actions. This was his principle.

“You went to look for her?” Qi Yuying was not angry, but she seemed a little disappointed. “That’s right, both of you were classmates…”

“I’m sorry, she can’t help either.” Yang Hua smiled bitterly and said, “But she did agree to help Wang Ruoxi. At least Wang Ruoxi should be able to keep this job.”

“What? Ruoxi?” Qi Yuying looked at Yang Hua in surprise. She never expected Yang Hua to help Wang Ruoxi.

She and Wang Ruoxi were good friends, but what was the relationship between Yang Hua and Wang Ruoxi? The two of them had only met once from the beginning to the end and had not spoken more than ten sentences. Why would Yang Hua help Wang Ruoxi? Was it because of her? Qi Yuying did not know why, but when she thought of this, she was so excited that her heart almost jumped out of her chest.

“What happened to you?” Yang Hua suddenly noticed that Qi Yuying had a strange expression on her face, so he walked up to her and asked.

Seeing Yang Hua’s concerned gaze, Qi Yuying suddenly felt numb and comfortable all over. Sensing her abnormality, she quickly lowered her head and replied, “It’s nothing.”

“Have you thought about what you’ll do in the future if you really can’t continue writing scripts?” Yang Hua sat down beside Qi Yuying and asked softly.

“Never thought about it.” Qi Yuying shrugged her shoulders. “If it doesn’t work, I can go for computer training classes or something and become a typist. It’s just that life will become worse and more tiring. Anyway, I won’t starve to death.”

“By the way, aren’t you supposed to hand in the script this morning? Have you handed it over yet?”

“Not yet.” Qi Yuying smiled indifferently and said, “I think I’m going to be fired this time.”

“Just hand the script over to Director Zhang.” Yang Hua looked at Qi Yuying and said firmly.

“You’ll definitely be kicked out of the production team anyway. Doesn’t it matter if we give him this episode or not?” Qi Yuying was already disheartened.

“How can it not matter! How can you think you can’t do it without trying?” Yang Hua couldn’t believe that Qi Yuying would say such a thing. He had always thought that Qi Yuying was a confident person who would never admit defeat.

“It’s too late anyway.” Qi Yuying said lazily to Yang Hua with a rebellious mentality after the setback.

“Call Director Zhang and see if there’s any chance to salvage the situation.” Yang Hua picked up the phone on the table and handed it to Qi Yuying. He looked at her seriously and said, “I remember that you wrote it yourself in ‘Red Rain’ that even if you lose, you have to understand the reason for losing clearly and frankly. If you’re fired from the production team just like that, will you be at ease?”

“I… I’ll make the call.” Qi Yuying mumbled as she took the phone. She pouted aggrievedly, but she could not help but raise her eyes and secretly stare at Yang Hua’s serious face for a long time. She suddenly realized that Yang Hua looked very manly when he was serious. Although Yang Hua usually looked a little handsome, compared to his current appearance, he was far less attractive.

“Qi Yuying?” Qi Yuying had just dialed Director Zhang’s number when she heard a thunderous shout. “What the hell are you doing?”

Even from the decibel of his voice, Qi Yuying could tell that Director Zhang was really angry. “Director Zhang, I’m sorry…” Qi Yuying felt so ashamed that she wanted to cry when she thought about how she had caused trouble for Director Zhang again.

“Yuying, I really didn’t expect you to be such a person. Were you planning to admit defeat just like that? Do you think it’s easy to admit defeat?” Ever since he started working with Qi Yuying, Director Zhang had never said anything harsh to her. However, on the phone today, he lost his temper. “If you really don’t want to work anymore, you can pack up and get lost immediately! There are plenty of people outside who knew how to write scripts!

“The earth won’t stop spinning without you! Tang Xin called me just now. I know about you and Old Hu! Are you afraid of Hu Changyou? Who is he? F*ck, that bastard is nothing!

“If you’re even afraid of him, you’re not worthy of being a screenwriter in the future! You should just change your profession and sell tofu! What are you afraid of if there’s a problem with the script? I’m here! I’m the director!

“I’ve been filming movies for 15 years and TV dramas for 10 years. I’ve directed a bunch of good and bad scripts! How can I not be able to shoot a good TV episode if I put in more effort?”

Qi Yuying’s tears fell like broken beads from Director Zhang’s scolding, but she still held the phone with both hands to her ear and said three words over and over again, “I am sorry.”
