As for the content of the email, it described all of Yi Lixing’s deeds, including selling He Group’s commercial secrets at a high price during his tenure; smearing the He Group after leaving the company; using underhanded methods against the He Group with others after leaving; and intentionally recording He Xing today after inviting him out.

In the business world, ability is one aspect, but reputation is even more important.

If a person’s reputation is ruined, even if they are very capable, no company would hire them, especially not those prestigious ones that He Xing would glance at.

He Xing used to think that if a deal can’t be made, integrity still matters, but now he feels that letting someone off will only make them think you are easy to bully and they will become more aggressive.

The significant upheaval at He Group eventually ended with He Xing exposing Yi Lixing’s misconduct; the investigation results of the project came out the same day, confirming that He Group had no regulatory violations, and the construction continued.

Everything settled down by dusk, and He Xing instructed Liang Tao to stay behind to deal with the aftermath, while he himself immediately drove to H City.

It’s strange to say, this was He Xing’s second visit to H City, and he wouldn’t even know how to get there without navigation, but because the person he constantly thought of was ahead, he felt an inexplicable familiarity with the road.

…

H City is a renowned Film and Television Base with beautiful scenery, attracting many tourists every year.

Nan Qing and her parents came mainly to visit Su Cheng and Fu Han, and secondly, to tour around.

Therefore, except for the night they arrived, Fu Han had not seen Su Cheng’s parents or Nan Qing’s parents again; only Nan Qing would return to Fu Han’s room to sleep every night, no matter how late.

Fu Han didn’t say much, but she felt this arrangement was good; she truly had no desire to deal with the elders who she deemed unimportant, and she only cared about her two friends, Nan Qing and Su Cheng.

Therefore, when Nan Qing said last night that her parents invited Fu Han to dinner tonight, her initial reaction was to refuse from the bottom of her heart. However, after learning that Nan Qing and her family were leaving early the day after tomorrow, she finally couldn’t bear not to give them face.

Ever since Fu Han knocked out one of Xia Ning’s teeth, the director had made scheduling changes, assigning all the scenes that included Xia Ning to Fu Han to shoot, even the director felt that Fu Han was the only one besides He Xing who could handle Xia Ning.

And indeed, the deterrence of that slap was genuinely effective; although Xia Ning looked miserable these past few days, she cooperated with the filming and was able to complete the tasks by working a little overtime each day.

Today was only the last scene left. After this scene was filmed, Fu Han would go back to her room to change clothes, and then join Su Cheng and Luo Qinghe to meet Nan Qing for dinner.

During the intermission, Qin Xiaonian whispered in Xia Ning’s ear, “Lady Xia, Young Master Xia asked you to call him back when you have time.”

Xia Ning’s eyes brightened as she grabbed her phone and left the Photography Studio. A few minutes later, she returned, her face made up with injury makeup yet bearing an uncontrollable smile tinged with a hint of eerie triumph.

Her gaze swept over Fu Han a few times deliberately, filled with immense pride. She thought, let’s see how you handle this later.

Xia Cheng had just given her thrilling news over the phone; He Xing had already left A City and would soon arrive in H City.

Xia Ning went over to Qin Xiaonian and gave her a series of instructions, then returned to her spot, ready for her part to begin filming.

This last scene was actually quite simple: the second female lead played by Xia Ning was scolded by the first female lead, then she, playing the innocent, sought sympathy from the male lead. Even Xia Ning herself felt that she could just be herself for the role.

However, Xia Ning kept making mistakes, performing even worse than before.

Watching as the day had completely turned dark and their dinner appointment neared, Fu Han couldn’t help but feel anxious. As the director scolded Xia Ning, she finally couldn’t hold back and blurted out, “Xia Ning, just play it true to yourself, just treat Luo Qinghe as He Xing.”

“Who’s just playing themselves here?” Xia Ning’s temper flared up immediately, and she retorted defiantly, “Fu Han, I’m warning you not to go too far. It’s true the character I’m playing is a green tea b****, but I have nothing to do with that in real life. If you keep slandering me, believe it or not, I’ll have my lawyer sue you?”

Fu Han stepped forward, ready to speak, but the director stopped her with a gesture, silencing Fu Han with a look. At the same time, he said to Xia Ning with patience, “Lady Xia, your performance has improved a lot these past days. Don’t feel pressured, just perform at your normal level.”

Xia Ning instantly put on a sweet smile: “Thank you, Director, I will definitely perform well.”

Fu Han, listening on the side, nearly got goosebumps. She rubbed her arms and returned to her position, preparing for the next take.

With the director’s command, filming officially started. Everything went smoothly at first, but as Xia Ning and Luo Qinghe were drinking milk tea in the middle of the scene, Xia Ning “couldn’t hold on” to the cup, and it flew far away, hitting the camera lens spot on.

The screen blurred, and the camera was covered in sticky milk tea. The cup rolled by Fu Han’s feet, making her new pair of Martin boots dirty.

“What’s going on?” The director’s voice was filled with obvious anger.

Xia Ning looked at Qin Xiaonian first, then she shrank her neck and said in a small voice, “Director, I’m sorry, I might have put on too much hand cream, it was too slippery and I didn’t hold on tight.”

Truth be told, Xia Ning had been very cooperative these days, and Fu Han had even become unaccustomed to it; but with Xia Ning starting her antics again today, Fu Han felt unbearably irritated.

She kicked the milk tea cup away with one foot, and it hit Xia Ning’s dress perfectly, leaving a prominent stain on the black pleated skirt. It was very conspicuous.

Xia Ning’s eyes flickered with joy, but she concealed it in the next second. She ran towards the director while shouting exaggeratedly, “Director, look at Fu Han, she purposely dirtied my costume. How am I supposed to continue shooting?”

The director was already irritable. After hearing her words, his frown deepened as though he wished he could squash a mosquito between them, “It was you who first threw the milk tea in her direction; it’s not solely her fault.”

If it had been a normal day, Xia Ning would have erupted in anger at the director’s blatant defense of Fu Han, but today it was exactly what she wanted. Her tears came as soon as she spoke, “I know it was my fault that I didn’t hold the milk tea steady and spilled it, but I didn’t do it on purpose. Yet Fu Han definitely did it on purpose when she splashed me with the milk tea, and you’re still siding with her? All of you only know how to bully me, you’re so awful. Just wait until Big Brother He Xing gets back and see how he deals with you.”
