The girl who was called out was startled, and when she heard what Xing Baohua had just said, all the other students stopped and looked at him.

The female classmate named Qianqian followed the girl closely, anxiously searching for their senior, Chen.

Seeing the girl standing there motionless, Xing Baohua took two steps forward and said with a crooked, wicked smile, "You hit someone and ran away, you should at least apologize."

"What's going on?" A tall, thin male student wearing glasses walked back, looked at Xing Baohua and then at the female student, before asking the two of them.

Perhaps seeing that Xing Baohua was younger than them, they said to him, "Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with? It's almost time to go back to the dormitory. Let the other students go back first. If you have something to say, you can tell me." This male student seemed to be quite capable in handling matters.

Xing Baohua pointed at the girl and said, "She bumped into me last night, and ran away without even apologizing. I won't make things difficult for her, I just need an apology. Are you their instructor?"

"I'm Chen Liang, the vice president of the student union. There might be some misunderstanding about Luo Yan's matter. How about this: let them go back first, since it's quite late. If you trust me, leave it to me to handle, and I'll definitely give you an answer tomorrow."

That's a very insightful statement. The cadres trained by the school certainly have a knack for it. Calm and collected, with a touch of worldly wisdom. If given a couple of years of experience outside the school, they might just become someone important.

Xing Baohua glanced at the woman named Luo Yan, who hadn't uttered a single word. Xing Baohua waved to them, indicating they could leave.

All Xing Baohua needs is an apology. Since someone has stepped forward, if he doesn't get the result he wants tomorrow, the girl doesn't need to come to work and earn his money anymore.

Besides, he didn't want to make things too difficult for a girl. If he went to the school, they would definitely give him an explanation.

It's actually a very small matter, but persistence, stubbornness, or pride often lead to things getting out of control.

"Thank you," Chen Liang said to Xing Baohua as he left, taking the classmates he had brought with him back.

Director Wang watched intently, and finally smiled at Xing Baohua, asking, "How do you plan to handle this?"

“I don’t know. An apology is fine. If you don’t apologize, then don’t let her come. It’s a moral issue,” Xing Baohua said.

On the other side, screenwriter Li smiled and shook his head slightly.

He said to Xing Baohua, "You see others having moral problems, but you yourself are also morally deficient!"

After finishing his speech, screenwriter Li walked out of the large office.

Xing Baohua asked Director Wang, "What did he mean?"

"Does that mean you're a bit unethical?"

"That old man Li is going too far! All I wanted was to improve the picture quality, did he have to talk to me like that? If he doesn't want to do it, let him get lost! I don't believe we can't hire someone with money!" Xing Baohua said angrily.

"No, scholars are stubborn. The money's already spent, so don't waste it anymore," Director Wang quickly reassured Xing Baohua, trying to calm her down before she got angry and abandon him. He also apologized on behalf of his friend.

Xing Baohua didn't take it too seriously and returned to the guesthouse.

Meanwhile, Chen Liang, a member of the student council, was listening to his junior sister Luo Yan talk about the incident where he hit Xing Baohua that night.

This person understood that the fault lay with Luo Yan, and if there had been no further interaction, the matter would have been over.

If we don't give that person an explanation, it might cause trouble if they go to the school.

"I'll go with you to apologize to him tomorrow. The apology needs to be done as soon as possible. The school is going to send a counselor there, and the counselor needs to know about this. At the very least, you'll get a reprimand, and if it gets serious, it'll be reported and you'll be disciplined, which will be bad for your future job placement."

"I...I'm a little scared," Luo Yan said in a low voice.

“What’s there to be afraid of? I think all he needs is an apology. I’m here for you. Okay, let’s go back to the dorm first,” Chen Liang said.

Only after watching that beautiful figure walk away did he slowly turn around.

The next day, when Xing Baohua was about to go to the studio, Zhang Xuebao's assistant, Lin Hui, came to find her.

I told him that Engineer Zhang had arranged for the items he wanted. It cost a little over 1400 yuan per set.

Upon hearing the price, Xing Baohua sighed inwardly; he only had enough money to buy one set.

Explain to Lin Hui that he'll pick up the goods in a couple of days; he only has enough money for one set. He called today to have someone wire the money over. It should arrive in a couple of days. Lin Hui will call him once the money is in place.

Actually, there's an even faster way: he could have Xiaobo deliver it in person and he could get the money by noon. But he didn't want a young girl to come alone.

After seeing Lin Hui off, Xing Baohua headed towards her studio.

At the entrance of the small building, he saw Chen Liang and Luo Yan waiting for him.

“I already asked Luo Yan yesterday, and it was indeed her fault. I’m having her apologize to you now, please accept her apology.” Chen Liang adopted a very humble attitude, which made Xing Baohua feel a little awkward.

Looking at Luo Yan sideways, he saw that the girl was a little nervous and had her head down. He could barely hear her say, "I'm sorry."

Alright, let's not dwell on this. I just don't know why Chen Liang is adopting such a humble attitude.

"Let's just leave it at that." He then walked into the building.

Chen Liang turned to look at Luo Yan and said, "The school has arranged for Guo Hongxia to be the instructor today. She's notoriously strict, and I'm afraid you'll get into trouble if you cross her. Alright, you should go back to school first. I'll handle things here."

"Thank you, thank you."

"We don't need to be so polite," Chen Liang said before walking into the building.

Xing Baohua arrived a little late today because he was meeting Lin Hui. As soon as he entered the studio, he was glared at by a girl. This made Xing Baohua feel a little uneasy.

He thought to himself, "Is this woman crazy? How can she judge people like that?"
