After the meal, Director Liu reappeared before everyone with a solemn expression.
Ji Qian subconsciously glanced back at Earl Lanruer, and seeing that he was still sitting on the ground, bound hand and foot, she breathed a sigh of relief and turned to ask:
"What's wrong? Are there going to be new rules announced again?"
Faced with Ji Qian's teasing, Director Liu unusually did not retaliate:
"Teachers, I have good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?"
"Bad news."
Noticing Director Liu's unusual attitude, Ji Qian couldn't help but frown. Based on her understanding of Director Liu, this good news might not be good, but the bad news was definitely bad!
"Um... do any other teachers have different opinions?"
Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of Ji Qian, Director Liu turned his hopes to the people behind him.
"What a coincidence, I also want to hear the bad news first."
"With ghosts all around, how bad can things get? Director Liu, just tell me straight."
"We've already wasted a whole morning, Director Liu, please don't drag things out."
"That's right, my time is very precious."
"Although I wanted to choose the good news, I'm new here, so I'll listen to my older sisters."
Seeing that even Wang Yingying didn't support him, Director Liu sighed and resignedly said, "Well, it's really not a big deal. Teachers, please don't get too worked up."
As Director Liu spoke, he glanced at the person who was most easily agitated.
Upon seeing this, Ji Qian immediately forced a kind smile.
Director Liu was so startled by that smile that he shuddered violently, and after a pause, he spoke again:
"The bad news I have to say is that the only road leading to the bottom of the mountain was washed away by last night's torrential rain and is not expected to be open to traffic for another five days."
"That's alright, isn't it? We're not supposed to finish recording for another seven days."
Seeing Director Liu's conflicted look, Mi Yesi thought something earth-shattering had happened, but it turned out that they just couldn't go down the mountain for the time being.
"I think the director was probably worried about unexpected situations. After all, the director is responsible for overall coordination, so of course he would consider things more thoroughly than we do."
Wang Yingying's tone was so gentle it was almost dripping with tenderness. Ji Qian thought that the past two days had been the limit of how disgusting Wang Yingying could be, but she didn't expect her to reach a new high.
Mi Yesi, as a frontline victim closest to Wang Yingying, expressed feeling disgusted and immediately retorted:
"Hey~ Your director brother has changed so quickly? Wasn't he all flirting with the assistant director yesterday? No wonder he's an artificial human, he changes his tune so fast!"
"How could you slander someone like that, Sister Mimi?! She just wanted to get along well with everyone, sob sob!"
As she spoke, Wang Yingying covered her face and started crying.
Listening to Wang Yingying's affected crying, Mi Yesi couldn't help but reminisce about Chunhua, the strong man she had met in the old house.
At least Chunhua's crying was genuine, unlike this woman in front of her who was all bark and no bite. Mi Yesi even saw Wang Yingying secretly licking her cheeks with saliva behind the camera.
[Fight! Fight!]
[So when does my favorite hair-pulling game start?]
Is the ultimate showdown between green tea and white lotus finally about to begin?!
[That Mi Yesi is so vicious, she actually bullied Yingying until she cried]
Please be understanding; after all, this is the only way an older woman can gain attention.
[These fans are really outspoken; everyone knows that this person loves to change their age!]
[Exactly! Our Mimi is at least in her early 20s, while this girl is almost 30, right?]
[Which company has the best secret to immortality? Look no further than Wang Ying in Beijing!]
[Hahaha, this is definitely a major technological breakthrough!]
True Digital Immortality
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Director Liu quickly stepped forward to fan the flames... no, to dissuade them.
He first said to Miyes:
"Teacher Mi, please calm down. Teacher Wang is only a guest, he won't be here next time. Just bear with it for a bit and it will pass."
Seeing that Mi Yesi's anger had only increased after his attempts to persuade her had failed, Director Liu had no choice but to turn to Wang Yingying and try to persuade her again:
"Teacher Mi is a senior after all, so even if he has a bad temper, we have to be accommodating. Besides, what Teacher Mi said makes sense. Teacher Wang, please call me Director Liu from now on."
When the person she was trying to please publicly humiliated Wang Yingying, her face turned ugly. Director Liu, however, remained oblivious and continued his persistent persuasion.
"It's understandable that Teacher Wang lacks experience since he's just starting out. Newcomers need to participate in more shows to gain experience. Teacher Mi is an actress after all, so it's normal that she's not good at variety show recordings."
"And to put it bluntly, your style is outdated. What's popular now is the domineering, mature woman type, you know? You know, the special kind..."
In fact, Director Liu's persuasion was not ineffective; in some respects, it was even remarkably effective.
At least for now, Mi Yesi and Wang Yingying no longer harbor any ill will towards each other; they only want to work together to destroy the greasy old man in front of them who is currently boasting and talking nonsense.
"Excuse me for interrupting, but wasn't there supposed to be another piece of good news?"
To prevent Director Liu from being beaten in public, the kind-hearted Ji Qian took the initiative to change the subject.
"Oh right, I almost forgot, cough cough!" Director Liu straightened his clothes, and his expression turned serious:
"I hereby officially announce that the 'Into the Truth' episode on the mystery of the ancient castle will officially begin in-depth cooperation between the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the British government, effective immediately. Let's give them a round of applause!"
Scattered applause broke out on the scene. Director Liu looked closely and realized that only Ying Xu and Wang Yingying were cooperating with him in the performance.
