"Please accept it, teacher. It's our honor!"

Shang Yechu raised her eyelids, looking weary: "Are you ever going to stop?"

Ji Juntao sneered in a high-pitched voice, "The movie I invested in, the trophies my partner won, I haven't even had a chance to look at them, and you've already given them away! Do you think I'll ever stop?"

Shang Yechu hadn't slept all night; she was so tired she felt like she could die, and had no time to argue with Ji Juntao.

Ji Juntao had been making sarcastic remarks about this all morning. Although she had expected her to be unhappy, Shang Yechu was still annoyed.

"I'll take it again in the future," Shang Yechu said weakly. "Please, Mr. Ji, Tao Tao, Boss Ji, Dad! Let me sleep for a while."

Ji Juntao tugged at Shang Yechu: "You piggy piggy piggy piggy piggy! All you do is sleep!"

"How am I a pig?" Shang Yechu didn't want to talk to her, but hearing this made her angry. "I just gave her a trophy, not a role!"

Ji Juntao tapped Shang Yechu's forehead with exasperation: "Who said you couldn't deliver it? The timing of your delivery was wrong. You should at least have discussed it with me, contacted a few media outlets to secretly film it, and then posted the video online. With your reputation in such a bad state right now, what a perfect way to clear your name!"

After last night, Shang Yechu's stubbornness had faded somewhat. Therefore, although she strongly disagreed with Ji Juntao's words, she didn't argue back.

"I gave it away because I wanted to, it wasn't for show." Shang Yechu rested her head on the pillow and closed her eyes. "It wasn't to clear my name either."

"Of course I know. But you're a celebrity, you have to be aware of that." Ji Juntao slapped his thigh in regret. "How come I slept like a log last night? I could at least ask Teacher Qi to post about this on Weibo!"

Having lost a huge marketing opportunity, Ji Juntao was devastated and found Shang Yechu utterly displeasing, wishing he could grab her and beat her up.

From Ji Juntao's perspective, what she said wasn't wrong. Shang Yechu knew that this matter was indeed unfair to Lao Ji, so she didn't argue back and subtly changed the subject.

"You came to my room so early in the morning just to see my trophy?" Shang Yechu yawned. "There must be something else."

Ji Juntao leaned back in his chair: "I almost forgot the important thing. How's filming going on set?"

"It's fine." Shang Yechu's eyelids drooped softly, her voice barely audible.

Ji Juntao poked Shang Yechu's face with the smooth tip of her fingernail: "Really? When you came back from the film set to see me, you looked like a fugitive."

Nothing could escape Ji Juntao's eyes.

Shang Yechu had originally intended to pretend to be sleepy and gloss over the matter, but now she couldn't.

"Okay." Shang Yechu kept it brief and briefly explained the filming process.

"That's it." Shang Yechu said calmly. "Teacher Qi Ming meant that Xu Hanwen was deliberately putting me down so that I would go back and try to get on his good side. But that doesn't make sense. Even if Xu Hanwen has a grudge against me, Lu Huaizhang, Diting, Zheng Bohan, and Shi Shan have no grudges against me. Why didn't they remind me? I don't understand what's going on with these people."

Shang Yechu has a clear self-awareness. Although she can be quite annoying at times, she shouldn't have offended the entire crew in just a few days of filming!

Shang Yechu felt frustrated and aggrieved. Amidst this frustration was a surge of resentful anger.

"But Teacher Qi Ming has already pointed out the crux of the problem to me." Mentioning this made Shang Yechu feel a little better. "There shouldn't be any problems after we go back."

Shang Yechu breathed a sigh of relief, and her face no longer looked as lifeless as when she first came out of the film set. Part of it was relief, and part of it was to put Ji Juntao's mind at ease.

Ji Juntao's expression gradually turned ugly.

"You mean, all these people should have figured it out?" Ji Juntao stared at Shang Yechu.
