“Youth With You” was a key project that the Great Xia Entertainment Industry had planned to build this year, with international connections in mind.

The producer was keen on avoiding any unnecessary complications, particularly given the various dramas that Si Fuqing had already managed to stir up in just over a week.

Enough was enough.

“Both Tianle Media and I hope this incident can come to a halt,” the producer continued. “Of course, to compensate for the damage to your reputation, Tianle Media is willing to offer you an extra 10% share in the revenue.”

The maximum remuneration for a mentor on the show was capped at nine million, a figure only Li Jingchen could command.

Si Fuqing was contracted for a mere two million.

After a 9-1 revenue split with Tianle Media and tax deductions via her agent, she was left with scarcely a hundred thousand.

And for that, she was expected to endure three long months of filming and an untold amount of online abuse.

“I’m sorry, that won’t do,” Si Fuqing regretfully shook her head, her fox-like eyes narrowing. “I believe I’ve already told Lin Qingyan that once someone crosses me, I won’t let them off easily.”

The producer’s hand froze, his brow furrowing.

He had not expected Si Fuqing to be so resistant.

“Teacher Si, perhaps you’ve been in the entertainment industry for too short a time to understand some survival rules,” the director chimed in. “Let me be blunt: if your status isn’t sufficient, you must yield.”

“As for Teacher Lin, she will also offer you compensation. There’s no need for you to fall out with her over the issue with Xu Ruotong.”

Lin Qingyan’s connections in the entertainment circle were far broader than Si Fuqing’s.

Whose side the production team would take was crystal clear.

Si Fuqing slipped her hands into her pockets and grinned slightly. “Haven’t we already fallen out?”

The director choked on his words.

“Miss Si, Sister Feng asked me to pass a message to you,” the young man finally spoke. “She’s currently busy with Miss Meng’s affairs in the city of Sijiu and doesn’t have time to further restrict you. She hopes you will recognize your status and not make a bigger fuss.”

Tianle Media initially signed Si Fuqing out of regard for the Zuo family.

Did she actually believe her signing was based on her own merit?

Si Fuqing was nonchalant. “Alright, let’s terminate the contract then.”

The young man almost laughed, his expression scornful. “Can you afford the nine hundred million in termination fees?”

“Nine hundred million, such a large number,” Si Fuqing casually quirked her lips. ‘What do you think? If we go to court, would they rule in favor of me paying this astronomical sum, or would they deem it extortion on the part of

Tianle Media?”

The young man’s expression changed drastically.

All three were at a standstill.

“Are we done?” Si Fuqing chuckled lazily. “Well then, let me offer you a word of advice: don’t get clever and attempt any more tricks. The consequences could be even less pleasant.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be more agreeable until the end of the show,” she added.

“If there’s nothing more to discuss, I’ll take my leave,” Si Fuqing’s hand rested on the door frame. “I’ve been quite busy lately. Please don’t look for me unless it’s necessary.”

She nodded courteously before departing, leaving the three individuals in the office with faces ashen as slate.

“What should we do now?” the director hesitated.

“What can we do? Actually manage her? Who does she think she is! ” The producer snapped. “We simply distance the show from her.”

Meanwhile, Si Fuqing returned to the dance studio.

“Teacher Si, is everything alright?” Xie Yu stood up.

“Everything’s fine, continue practicing,” Si Fuqing said casually. “Even if the sky were to fall, I’d be here to hold it up.”

“Don’t worry, Teacher Si. I’ll definitely give my best performance tomorrow!” Xu Xiyun clenched his fist. “I’ve also been training lately, so I’ll take any competition seriously.”

“Oh? Is that so?” Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow. “You look like you’d be panting just from running 800 meters.”

Xu Xiyun:

Though it was true, he felt rather despondent.

Si Fuqing sat cross-legged next to the sound system, pulled out her laptop, and began to ponder.

The more she thought, the deeper her frown became.

“Teacher Si,” Xu Xiyun curiously asked, “is there something you need help with?”

“No,” Si Fuqing sighed. “I’m just trying to remember the contact details of some people in the industry I used to know. Unfortunately, I can’t remember their social media accounts. I wish I had super memory like Zhu Bajie (1).”

“Zhu Bajie?” Xu Xiyun was puzzled. “Isn’t he just good at eating? He has super memory?”

“It’s a nickname,” Si Fuqing closed her laptop. “Never mind, I’ll think about it some other day, it’s not urgent.”

Although her memory was pretty good—she could memorize a book after reading it once—she had forgotten social media accounts she used five or six years ago.

She couldn’t compare to her second senior brother’s super-memory abilities.

And if she ever dared to call her second senior brother “Zhu Bajie” to his face, a fight would be inevitable.

“I’m quite curious about who you know in the industry, Teacher Si,” Xie Yu mused. “I wonder if I’d know any of them. ”

“Probably,” Si Fuqing nodded. “If I could gather them, they could scare ten Xu

Xiyuns to death.”

Xu Xiyun.?

Wait, why has he become a unit ofmeasurement?

He muttered to himself, unable to think of anyone in the entertainment circle who could scare ten of him to death—unless it was someone of international superstar Yun Lan’s caliber.

Scratching his head, he resumed his training with Xie Yu.

That night, Lin Qingyan came out of the training camp and met Xu Ruotong.

“So, how did it go?” Xu Ruotong quickly asked.

“I’m sorry, Ruotong, I really can’t help you this time,” Lin Qingyan shook her head. “Both the production team and Tianle Media have talked to Si Fuqing, but she simply refuses to reconcile.”

Xu Ruotong snorted. “As if I want to reconcile with her! What can she possibly

A day had passed, and aside from the online abuse, there had been no other developments on Weibo.

She had the company pull her name from the trending topics, and the netizens’ attention was gradually shifting elsewhere.

Xu Ruotong felt somewhat relieved that she wasn’t that popular.

“Ruotong, I think you should apologize to her, ” Lin Qingyan advised. “After all, you were the one in the wrong.”

“I won’t apologize. Apologizing means admitting fault,” Xu Ruotong gritted her teeth. “Don’t worry, Qingyan. My manager and I have already discussed our next move. If Si Fuqing won’t reconcile with me, then she won’t have an easy time either!”

Lin Qingyan frowned, “Ruotong, are you planning to…”

“Look,” Xu Ruotong brandished her phone, smugly. “I’ve already posted the video you gave me.”

[@Xu Ruotong: It’s not that I don’t trust Si Fuqing, but let’s be honest, she has a history, okay? She dared to kick down doors and steal things even within the program group. What wouldn’t she dare to do outside?

Of course, I was impulsive this time, and I apologize to everyone. However, I will absolutely not apologize to Si Fuqing. She should apologize to Qingyan first!]

Xu Ruotong’s Weibo post showcased the video of Si Fuqing kicking open the door and instructing her students to move equipment, painting her in a bossy light.

Lin Qingyan tucked her hair back, smiling softly, “Ruotong, you don’t need to defend me. I don’t really care.”

‘Qingyan, we’re besties,” Xu Ruotong cooed. “Of course I’ll help you. Look, now the netizens have shifted their focus to attacking Si Fuqing.”

Indeed, the video had successfully diverted the attention of the online community.

[So disgusting, Si Fuqing is truly vile.]

[Thought I had some good feelings for her last time, now it’s all gone.] [Who does Si Fuqing think she is, acting so high and mighty?]

[Apologize to Qingyan, @Si Fuqing!]

[Looks like Xie Yu isn’t that great after all. Isn’t he supposed to be a gentleman?

He didn’t even try to stop her.]

[Wow, I used to have a good impression of Xie Yu. Never mind, for the next episode, I’m voting for Lu Yan. The center position should have some sense of morality.]

But before Xu Ruotong could revel in her triumph, a new Weibo post appeared.

It was from a hardcore fan of Xie Yu, a well-known influencer in the fandom with over half a million followers.

[I can’t take it anymore. You guys actually have the audacity to post this video? I already checked, and it was Lin Qingyan’s team that took away all the equipment from Teacher Si’s side. They had no way to even practice and had to venture out in the cold morning for breakfast.

When I went for a group photo, Teacher Si even bought me a cup of soy milk. I saw that her hands were chapped, and Xie Yu was also exhausted. I took these photos at that time, you can see the date, and they’re definitely not edited. Teacher Si and Xie Yu didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, but now, enough is enough. Here is a video I just got from Teacher Si [Video link].

To suppress Xie Yu and Teacher Si, do you people in the production team even have a conscience? Lin Qingyan, do you have any shame? Xu Ruotong, does your face not feel hot when you post this stuff?! Trash!!!

I demand that the production team and the people involved apologize publicly to Teacher Si and Xie Yu. Otherwise, this matter isn’t over!]
