Chapter 411: I Can’t Understand Your Way of Doing Things

Yao Jiahong said coldly, “The first thing you thought of when there was a problem with the contract was not to solve the problem but to convince Shi Jin to go with the mistake and shoot with Chu Ling. Now that the filming is no longer successful, you just treat it as if nothing has happened. You have taken all the benefits. How can there be such a good thing?”
The person in charge flew into a rage out of humiliation. He suppressed his anger and said, “Everyone is doing this for work. Let’s understand each other.”
“I don’t understand your way of doing things,” Yao Jiahong said. “Shi Jin is not filming anymore!”
“Mr. Yao, the contract has been signed. If Shi Jin doesn’t shoot it, she will have to break the contract.” Taking advantage of the company’s wealth, the person in charge was very firm and his attitude became tough.
“Oh, really?” Yao Jiahong looked at the person in charge with a cold gaze. “Then let’s go through the legal procedures.”
Shi Jin reached out to wipe off her lipstick and said calmly, “Brother Yao, let’s go.”
“How dare you…” The person in charge wanted to say something harsh.
His secretary rushed over and handed him his phone. “Boss called. He’s very angry…”
The person in charge picked up the phone. The voice from the other end of the line made his ears ring. “What are you thinking? How dare you offend Shi Jin? Hurry up and apologize to Shi Jin. Make up for it and compensate for it! How could you do this just for Chu Ling? I don’t care what method you use, but you must make Shi Jin stay. I will come and apologize personally!”
When the boss received the call from that big shot, he was also very fearful.
The incident had been caused by the assistant director. He had lied to the director in secret, but the person in charge had blindly made a fuss about it. It was no wonder that the big shot had stepped in to intervene.
After the boss personally apologized, he was already on his way.
Seeing that Shi Jin and Yao Jiahong were about to leave, the person in charge chased after them. “Miss Shi, Mr. Yao, please wait…”
Shi Jin and Yao Jiahong had already given him too many chances, so there was no need to give him another chance. She went out and got into the car.
The person in charge watched them leave and then thought of the boss on the road. He instantly regretted it, but it was too late.
“I’m sorry, Shi Jin.” Yao Jiahong sounded apologetic. “When I signed the contract, I didn’t expect them to use such a method.”
Shi Jin raised her head and glanced at him. “It’s impossible to guard against someone who has the intention to lie to you.”
Yao Jiahong still blamed himself. It was indeed his fault for not doing his job well.
Although such an elaborate scam was indeed hard to guard against, the consequences would be much better if he paid more attention.
“Alright, Brother Yao, at least Chu Ling gave me a chance to capture this side of him. Now that the initiative is in our hands, he can’t take the initiative to come and extort us.”
This matter had indirectly resolved a huge problem. Shi Jin was very relaxed.
The phone rang.
Shi Jin picked up the call.
Fu Xiuyuan’s mellow voice sounded. “I heard that something happened during the commercial shoot?”
Shi Jin smiled and said, “It’s already settled. Looking at the person in charge, it seems like he wants to apologize. Did you put pressure on him?”
“Coincidentally, the company’s higher-ups are discussing business with that red wine brand. I got someone to call the higher-ups. If you don’t want to accept this apology, then you don’t have to make yourself suffer.”
“Yes, I’m fine. I’m already on my way home.”
“I’ll go home immediately too.”
Shi Jin heard Fu Xiuyuan whispering to Song Fan to cancel a meeting.
She listened quietly without rejecting or objecting. She only felt that the peaceful times were really very charming.

Traditional Chinese Medicine University.
The exam for the candidates of the research class was about to begin.
Although the probability of the first-year students being chosen was very small, there were still many people who were preparing with all their heart, hoping to enter Zhang Fengnian and Ouyang Ping’s sights and obtain a better opportunity.
On the day of the exam, Shi Jin came over.
“Shi Jin, are you really back for the exam?” Li Yuanyuan saw her and quickly took out the things on her seat.
“Well, I wanted to see if I could get into the research class.”
Li Yuanyuan nodded. “Good luck then. The information you gave me last time was especially useful. I’ve also memorized the few knowledge points you told me.”
Recently, she chatted with Shi Jin on WeChat. Now that they were meeting, they had more to talk about.
Someone in the front row turned to look at Shi Jin. They seemed to find it unbelievable that Shi Jin was here for the exam.
“That’s good.” Shi Jin raised her eyebrows and looked at her. “Good luck.”
Li Yuanyuan was stunned and speechless when she saw her beauty.
Shi Jin had always been cold and indifferent. Although she was so beautiful that it could not be ignored, the vividness of her eyes and brows made her even more beautiful.
“You smell so good. What perfume did you use? I’ve been wanting to ask you about it for the past few times.” Li Yuan leaned closer to her and stared at her eagerly.
“No perfume.” Shi Jin thought for a while. “I used some essential oil. If you like it, I’ll bring you a bottle next time.”
“Okay. Oh, right, this is for you.” Li Yuanyuan handed her a sachet. “I made it myself. The ingredients that my grandfather mentioned are good for calming the mind. Try it.”
Shi Jin picked it up and sniffed it.
The medicinal herbs were not bad. They were not the type that could be found on the market. They could indeed calm one’s mind. However, without any refinement or screening, they only had about ten to twenty percent effectiveness.
It was a little wasteful. However, it was the thought that counts.
Li Yuanyuan’s eyes were fixed on Shi Jin. How could anyone, just by smelling a fragrance bag, look so elegant and delicate? She could not take her eyes off her.
“It’s time for the exam,” Shi Jin reminded her softly.
Li Yuanyuan came back to her senses and took the papers from the front row.
This was the exam for the theory class, and it also took up more than half of the exam’s points—80 points.
It was also the score that the first-year students were most confident of obtaining.
After Shi Jin took the test paper, she took a look and started to answer the questions.
Theoretical knowledge also meant that this was basic knowledge, and most of it came from textbooks. However, everyone had not been in the school for long. Many of them were still out of the situation. They looked at the questions with a worried expression and were struggling.
Shi Jinxin confidently filled out the test paper and looked at the time. Almost half an hour had passed.
She walked up to the podium and handed in the papers.
Li Yuanyuan’s mouth was agape. Due to the exam, she could not ask much and could only watch as Shi Jin left.
One of the teachers proctoring everyone’s exam was the form teacher, Teacher Cai.
Teacher Cai’s impression of Shi Jin was average, even though Principal Ling and Ouyang Ping strongly recommended her. It was a pity that Shi Jin did not come to class many times. As the form teacher, it was really hard for him to sympathize with such a student.
Seeing that Shi Jin handed in her paper so quickly, he didn’t look at her paper.
There was also a rule in the academy that the examination papers of the research class were to be cross-referenced by each class. The teachers could not grade the exam papers of their own classes.
He was not disappointed. After all, he did not have much hope.
When all the exams were over, the teacher beside him smiled and said, “Teacher Cai, this Shi Jin from your class has quite a personality. Half an hour is only enough to write her name, right?”
“It doesn’t matter. Our class doesn’t expect her to enter the research class.” Teacher Cai looked at Tian Xinjie gently as he spoke.
From the moment she entered the school, Tian Xinjie had displayed extremely high talent and an eager attitude.
Although she did not have a high admission score like Shi Jin, she had given Teacher Cai a huge surprise and became his greatest source of confidence.
The teacher smiled. “That’s true. Tian Xinjie has a high chance of entering the research class.”

After Shi Jin left, Yao Jiahong, who was used to it, handed her a few scripts. “These are scripts selected by producer Liu, he hopes that you’ll consider them.”
“You’re letting me act in a movie so soon?” Up till now, Shi Jin had only acted as a guest character in the previous “Twilight Years.”
At that time, the reception was especially good. However, the public also believed that since the character had very few scenes and happened to be a singer, it was not hard for Shi Jin to play the character.
“Didn’t I tell you before that I would find a suitable script for you?” Yao Jiahong smiled and said, “Yesterday, I did some calculations. When you participated in ‘Ultimate Singer Songwriter,’ you produced 18 original songs and then 20 more. In a short period of time, the number of original songs you composed reached an astonishing 40 songs.”
“Is there a problem?” Shi Jin was very familiar with writing music.
As long as she had inspiration, the songs would be endless.
“What’s the problem?” Yao Jiahong glared at her. “Forty songs is around four albums. It’s only been half a year. Do you know that when Ye Peiwen was in her prime, she could only produce one album a year at most? And she did not write all of them herself. Do you know that Xia Peifeng is famous for his talent in the entertainment industry and has written the most songs so far? When he was at his peak, he only produced two albums a year. Do you know the King of Music? In the 50 years he’s debuted, he only released 132 albums in total. On average, he only released three albums a year. Your amount is too exaggerated.”
Shi Jin thought about it and realized that it was true.
Yao Jiahong said, “Although overachieving isn’t a bad thing, I’m still worried that it will overdraft your creative energy. It will strengthen everyone’s expectations of your song and overuse you.”
Shi Jin understood what he meant. Too much was as bad as too little. When the cup was full, the water would overflow.
Shi Jin understood the logic.
She glanced at the script and said, “Are they all movies that Producer Liu invested and prepared?”
“Yes, the scripts are not bad.”
“Find something else. I want to act in something he didn’t invest in.”
“Are you sure?” Yao Jiahong understood what she meant. If she wanted to have a good effect, she definitely couldn’t roll around in her own comfort zone.
Many actors and singers found it difficult to improve because they could never hear any different voices. If no criticism is heard, praise means nothing.
Shi Jin returned all the books to him. “Yes.”
Yao Jiahong had a feeling that Liu Ning was going to cry.
Indeed, a moment later, Shi Jin received Liu Ning’s crying emoticon.
Shi Jin sent a head petting emoticon.
“So love will disappear, right?” Liu Ning was devastated.
Shi Jin continued to send the head petting emoticon.
Liu Ning turned to look for Li Juekai. “Crying.jpg, Brother Li, Shi Jin refused to act in the movie I invested in.”
“Oh?”
Liu Ning immediately told him the whole story. Before he could send out a string of words, Li Juekai’s next sentence came. “She is indeed my daughter. She has ambitions.”
Liu Ning: “…”
He deleted the words he had just typed.
He went to look for Gu Qingqing. He had just opened the chat box and had yet to type when Gu Qingqing sent him a message. “Don’t stop Shi Jin from pursuing a better path.”
Liu Ning: “…”
He thought about it and decided to look for Gu Jingyuan. After all, he held the majority of the company’s shares.
This time, he called directly.
After Gu Jingyuan heard this, he pondered for a moment and said worriedly, “Why did she do that? Isn’t it good to have you to take care of her?”
“Yeah, I said that too, but she said that filming other films would let her improve faster.”
“That makes sense.” Gu Jingyuan nodded. “In that case, we should respect her choice.”
Liu Ning: “…Dude, the company is yours!”
“Oh? So?”
Liu Ning remembered that Gu Jingyuan didn’t even want the profits from before, let alone now.
Okay, sorry to bother you.
He received a message on WeChat.
When he saw that it was from Shi Jin, he hurriedly opened it.
“I’ve seen those scripts. These actors aren’t bad. They’re very suitable.”
The last line was attached to the list of recommended actors.
Liu Ning finally felt comforted. Alright, as long as Shi Jin was willing to participate, it would not be a bad thing.

Back at Orchid Pavilion.
Shi Jin saw Song Fan coming down from upstairs.
“Special Assistant Song.” Shi Jin greeted him politely.
Song Fan reported to her out of habit, “Master Fu asked for the filming schedule…”
After the report, he remembered that Master Fu and Shi Jin’s relationship had already been restored. It was no longer as tense as before. He no longer needed to mediate between them.
Shi Jin smiled and said, “Thank you.”
Song Fan left in confusion. Was Master Fu planning to enter the film market? Was he going to personally invest in Miss Shi?
Shi Jin changed into her home clothes and poured a cup of hot water. She added her special flower petals into the water and walked towards Fu Xiuyuan’s study.
She knocked lightly on the door.
“Come in.” Fu Xiuyuan looked up and saw that it was Shi Jin. He stood up and took the water from her. A faint fragrance wafted over, making one feel refreshed.
He took it and took two sips.
“It’s good for your stomach. Although the medicine from before was good, your stomach has almost recovered. You just need to use this to recuperate.”
Fu Xiuyuan looked down at her and smiled. “As long as it’s from you, it’s all good.”
“I know, so I promise I won’t give you any poison,” Shi Jin teased with a smile. “Are you researching how long it takes to film a movie?”
“I want to know how long an actress, especially the lead actress, usually needs to stay on set.”
Fu Xiuyuan sounded a little bitter.
He heard that people stayed on set for a few months. This was an unacceptable amount of time.
Shi Jin looked up at him. “I’ve already thought it through. I won’t be gone for that long. I’ll be gone for a week at most.”
A week?
Fu Xiuyuan’s brows were still furrowed.
“Three days?” Shi Jin stretched out her finger tentatively.
Fu Xiuyuan held her hand and brought it to his lips. His eyes were deep and he did not speak.

The next day was the day of the practical test of the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine’s research class.
The practical examination only accounted for 20 points, but it was still a very important exam.
“The practical examination is very difficult for freshmen like us.”
“No matter how difficult it is, I still have to try. If I can’t enter the research class, I can only study step by step. If I enter the research class, not only will I have a lot of learning opportunities, but I will also be able to come into contact with actual medical records. In the future, finding a job will also be easier.
“Therefore, every year’s selection test is very important. Those who graduate from the research class will not only have the opportunity to go to the International Ancient Chinese Medicine School, but it will also be very beneficial for their employment.”
“Ancient Chinese medicine isn’t as good as Chinese medicine combined with Western medicine and Chinese medicine clinical studies. The research class is our best chance.”
The moment Shi Jin entered, she heard many people talking. She sat down and casually organized her bag.
Li Yuanyuan clenched her fists nervously.
Shi Jin passed a small bottle of essential oil to her. “This is for you.”
“Thank you!” Li Yuanyuan received it happily. She held it and smelled it. The fragrance was very faint, but it was very comfortable.
She did not know if it was an illusion, but after smelling it, she felt as if her senses get sharper.
“It smells so good.” Li Yuanyuan could not help sighing.
Teacher Cai walked in and knocked on the table. “Everyone, quiet down. The practical test is about to begin. The practical test is to conduct experiments…”
Everyone sighed. After all, they were only first-year students, and there were very few opportunities for them to get hands-on experience. It was very difficult to get those 20 points.
“Don’t be discouraged. Now is the time for you to build your foundation. It’s not like I’m letting you do the experiment alone. During the exam, you’ll be divided into three groups, and the scores will be shared. According to the convention, the groups will be decided by drawing lots,” said Teacher Cai. “Everyone, get ready.”
Tian Xinjie suddenly raised her hand.
“Is there something wrong?” Teacher Cai asked in a friendly tone.
“If we draw lots, it’s unfair to many people. Teacher Cai, especially to some of our classmates, it is even more unfair. In order to take the exam, not only did we learn the knowledge in the textbooks, but we also found ways to learn some of the more difficult things, like practice. If we draw lots and draw students who don’t like learning and don’t want to learn, isn’t it unfair to us?” Tian Xinjie said reasonably.
The rest of the students agreed. “Yes, we are serious about learning.”
“I did experiments at home with my dad, too.”
“We are trying our best to advance towards the research class. If we are dragged down by others, then what is the point of our efforts?”
Li Yuanyuan could not help feeling angry. These people were so self-righteous. They were obviously targeting Shi Jin.
The other classes followed this rule, and no one had ever argued before.
Shi Jin did not even bat an eyelid. Her expression was calm.
When Teacher Cai heard this, he felt that it made sense.
He said, “You have your reasons, but the rules were set by the school. I can apply to change them now, but… the exam is approaching. I can only say that I’ll try my best..”
