Chapter 223 - "As long as you do a good job in it, you can secure your status within the screenwriter world." (3)

When she was done grumbling, she walked around in front of Luo Xiu before Qi Han could react and said in a mild and harmless voice with her eyes droopy. “I’m sorry, Mr. Qi. We got lost on the island and arrived a little late.”

Qi Han recollected himself and said in a barely audible voice, “It’s fine. That’s not a problem at all.”

Hesitating a little, Gu Nian gave him an official smile and said, “The waves were so loud earlier. Were you on a call, Mr. Qi? I didn’t catch what you were saying. Is it something urgent that you need help with?”

Qi Han struggled a little.

“What kind of big thunder got onto the show?”

The low and dull voice sent shivers down Qi Han’s spine like a spear.

Gu Nian, “……”

How could she salvage this for her very blunt precious son?

Qi Han, “……”

He could already see a new graveyard on this island by next year.

The plot on the left was reserved for the Program Director of Gold-Medal Screenwriter and the one to the right for the head of Public Relation at BH Media.

Three graves next to each other. Perfecto.

Qi Han had abandoned all hopes at this point, and he said, “Gold-Medal Screenwriter’s program team finally finalized the last candidate for the direct-pick screenwriter.”

Luo Xiu’s eyes turned cold.

Qi Han could tell from Luo Xiu’s look that he had figured that out when he had overheard his conversation. He, however, had no choice but to say it out loud in front of Gu Nian. “Public Relation wanted some publicity with the recent incident. As such, they picked Zhuo Yixuan.”

Gu Nian paused.

Luo Xiu lowered his eyes; he was not surprised. His left index finger that was lowered twitched a little––

A certain emotion was at its max and was only a skip and a hop away from unleashing.

Qi Han, as an innocent collateral damage who had no knowledge of this ahead of time, really wanted to skedaddle out of there but he dared not do that. He could only wait for the storm to arrive in desperation.

Gu Nian came before the storm.

“Oh, Zhuo Yixuan is here? That’s good.”

Qi Han was taken aback. Even Luo Xiu looked up, a hint of gloominess had yet to leave his eyes.

“Right. I would like to have an opportunity to compete with her fair and square,” said Gu Nian. Then she smiled. “Of course, I am good from my perspective.”

Qi Han, “Oh no no. It’s great news that Ms. Gu thinks this is a good opportunity!”

Gu Nian was baffled. “But I thought you were worried that your boss would be upset?”

Qi Han was speechless for a second.

Gu Nian thought about it and gave him a hearty smile. “Don’t worry. I won’t tell.”

Qi Han looked up reflexively and met the gloomy eyes of the man standing behind the girl.

Qi Han, “……”

Never mind. He should resume his grave-picking activity.

On the patio at the peak of the hill.

Zhuo Yixuan was standing in front of a stone wall. She pulled her black cashmere shawl tighter around herself as she looked languidly behind herself before turning to face the dark ocean.

“Haven’t I already said that I didn’t want to be on this show? Who wants to compete for a silly title with a bunch of screenwriters who nobody hhas heard of? This is beneath me.”

“My Darling Miss, stop being such a spoiled brat at times like this,” said her agent helplessly over the phone. “Do you know how much time and effort we have invested and how many water armies we have hired just to bring public opinion back to neutral over your incident of pretending to be Mengzhi? If you can’t show them something and bring your reputation back up, it is very likely that you will remain mediocre for the rest of time!”

Zhuo Yixuan couldn’t argue with that. She grunted slightly in disgruntlement after some silence. “How am I supposed to achieve that? By being on a show where the production of the first season is about to start and it’s still unheard of online?”

“Don’t you worry about that. Gold-Medal Screenwriter is a BH Media production. They are the company agreed to have the most potential in the field this year. This show will be fine. As long as you do a good job in it, you can secure your status within the screenwriter world.”
