Chapter 237: Lin Fuxi Needs to Learn a Lesson

“Director Liu, Mengfei knows that he is wrong. Please give him another chance. We guarantee he will no longer do things that could harm production,” Lin finally admitted their mistake. He has stopped denying it.

“Although Mengfei doesn't have much screen time, she has completed several scenes. It will take a lot of time if you plan to replace it with another actor. What's more, you'll have to film the scene a second time, thus increasing production costs."

“Director Liu, I promise that Mengfei will not do anything like this again. Please give him another chance!” Lin pleaded. “He will definitely perform well and try harder in his acting. He will definitely not make you trouble again.”

Lin turned around and glared at Ding Mengfei.

Ding Mengfei quickly added, “Director Liu, please forgive me this once. I'm not gonna do it again. I promise not to do anything that can hurt the team. Director Liu, I kneel before you!"

Her acting career is coming to an end. Ding Mengfei no longer cared to look proud.

Without waiting for Director Liu to reply, he immediately knelt down.

Unfortunately for him, Director Liu was not moved by his actions.

“If you guys keep wasting another minute of my time, I'll log into Weibo and publish Ding Mengfei's deeds.” As he said this, Director Liu took out his phone and clicked on the Weibo app.

Then he started counting down.

They knew that Director Liu had made up his mind. No matter how much they pleaded, it would be useless.

Lin could only stand up and drag Ding Mengfei away with him.

Lin licked her lips nervously, applying lipstick on her chapped lips.

He took a deep breath. “Director Liu, I understand where you are from. Don'worry. Mengfei will leave the team for health reasons. I will publish this update on Weibo.”

“Director..Director Liu..” Ding Mengfei screamed and tears ran down his cheeks. She stuttered, “I'm so sorry for what happened. I knew that even death would not be enough to pay for my crimes. Fortunately, I didn't cause any damage to the team, otherwise I would…"

He sobbed and continued, “Director Liu, I promise that I will control myself and act properly in the future. I won't interfere anymore. Director Liu, can you please keep my departure from the team a secret? Can you refrain from telling the public about what happened?"

Director Liu sneered at himself.

It was not like he usually kept this secret.

Is he such a generous person?

No, he's not.

He did not even plan to let go of Shen Jingyi. He was not afraid to tell strangers what his intentions were, let alone people he knew.

Would he be able to let Ding Mengfei go unscathed? He has brought great damage to her.

If he is unlucky, his career could be ruined.

“I actually thought you had admitted your mistake after listening to the first half of your explanation. I didn't expect to hear the second half,” Director Liu replied to her bluntly.

“Lin, you have to educate him. It doesn't matter if he destroys himself, but don't let him drag you down with him.”

Lin's face became very dark. Ding Mengfei's plea had been uttered somewhat too hastily.

He nodded and dragged Ding Mengfei away, not waiting to find out if Director Liu had agreed to their request.

🍀

That very afternoon, Ding Mengfei's studio published a notice. They even attached a photo of Ding Mengfei lying on a hospital bed with an infusion attached. They expressed their apologies to the drama production team “Legend of Wei and Jin”. They explained that his resignation from production was due to a last-minute emergency.

The official Weibo page of “Legend of Wei and Jin” also published a notice, hoping he quickly recovers.

It was just an official response.

Director Liu has revealed all of Ding Mengfei's dirty deeds to several other Directors. He even shared that information with his investors. This transaction will be a story for another day.

Tan Mo returned to class. He returned to his busy routine, busying himself in Professor Gu and Professor Tang's research room. He also continued to write scripts in private study rooms.

A private study room is a relatively quiet place with extended opening hours. Tan Mo really enjoyed stirring up his script in this room.

He's very busy. And, other than sleeping, she had no time to hang out in her dorm.

Her dorm friends realize that it is getting harder to meet Tan Mo in the dorm.

After a long period of being busy like this, Tan Mo finally finished the script. And not long after, it was time for his final semester test.

Lin Fuxi was studying in their dormitory. He turned around and said to Jin Yuelin, “I don't know what has kept Tan Mo so busy all this time. She didn't return to the room until they started locking the dorm door.”

“He needs to attend all our normal classes while also juggling the research commitments of Professor Gu and Professor Tang. Of course he's busy.”

“But last semester, he was involved in the same. However, he is not this busy.” Lin Fuxi glanced to his left and right. He came with a wild guess. “Could he study secretly in the library?”

Meng Yuxi pursed her lips impatiently. He replied, “Don't learning be the right thing to do? Is there anyone in our class who doesn't work hard? Why do you make Tan Mo sound like a thief when he works hard?”

“That's not what I mean.” Lin Fuxi looked down. He's acting very wrong. “Yuxi, I realize that there are many misunderstandings among us.”

Meng Yuxi could no longer be bothered to be kind to Lin Fuxi. “What misunderstandings? Last semester, you were unable to maintain your position as a class supervisor and were eventually replaced. Do you still not realize why it happened? Are you saying that everyone in the class has misunderstood you? Is everyone conspiring to bully you? Are we all wrong?"

“Do you dare to make this claim? If you dare to say this, I will ask the class tomorrow. I'll ask them if we're actually conspiring, and if we're really targeting you. I'll ask them what they feel about what you just said.” Meng Yuxi did not hold back at all.

Jin Yuelin also added, “That's enough. Fuxi, you are so busy studying every day. How do you still have the energy to target Tan Mo? He didn't even spend much time in the hostel.”

No one knew if Tan Mo was doing this to avoid Lin Fuxi.

It was likely that he avoided the dormitory because Lin Fuxi was quite pitiful. It was almost as if he had a dorm room, but could not be in it.

When Meng Yuxi heard Jin Yuelin hinting at that, she felt her heart ache.

Tan Mo had no idea that his two housemates had such creative imaginations.

In the blink of an eye, the day of their final semester exam arrived.

Lin Fuxi had prepared a lot for this test.

The result of the test will determine whether a person will get a scholarship.

Inside the examination hall, Lin Fuxi realized that he was in the same examination hall as Tan Mo.

“How unlucky.” Lin Fuxi grumbled to herself. “I meet him wherever I go.”

Because of Tan Mo, he lost his position as a class supervisor.

Lin Fuxi sat diagonally behind Tan Mo.

After writing for a short time, he would subconsciously look towards Tan Mo.

When he saw Tan Mo doodling with his head lowered, he would respond by trying to write an answer furiously as well. He was very afraid of losing to Tan Mo.

The exam is finally over.

Tan Mo was tidying up his things.

“Tan Mo ..” Lin Fuxi called him as he walked.

Tan Mo blinked. Inwardly, he admired Lin Fuxi's persistence.

Lin Fuxi had received so many losses because of him. Why didn't he learn the lesson?
