Shen Jintai was on fire, and the crew naturally knew it. The premiere was a hit, and the crew was overjoyed. The eyes of the whole crew were staring at him as they saw President Yan sent him to the set today.

He was so popular that President Yan himself personally came to deliver him.

"Jintai, here you are." The executive director smiled and greeted Shen Jintai, and then smiled at Yan Qiuchi: "President Yan."

Yan Qiuchi nodded and asked: "Where is Director Guo?"

Director: "Still sleeping. Director Guo stayed up late last night to cut the film yesterday and didn't sleep much."

The current model of the drama was simultaneously filming and broadcasting. Guo Rui, as a director, had strong creative desires so he mainly does everything by himself. He was the staff member that worked the hardest in this series.

Yan Qiuchi turned to Shen Jintai and said: "I'm going to see the director."

Shen Jintai nodded and went to the dressing room by himself.

As soon as he walked into the makeup room, his makeup artist immediately surrounded him and said beamingly: "Jintai, congratulations."

Shen Jintai smiled and said: "Thank you."

Today was a joyous occasion so everyone was in good spirits, especially Shen Jintai who looked extremely radiant.

Someone entered from behind. Shen Jintai looked back and found that it was Zheng Siqi. To cultivate feelings, he and Zheng Siqi shared the same dressing room.

Zheng Siqi smiled and said: "A'Xu, good morning."

Shen Jintai: "You don't have a scene this morning so why didn't you sleep in."

"But you have a scene and I wanted to watch and learn from it." Zheng Siqi said with a smile.

Bai Qingquan's assistant saw that Shen Jintai had arrived in the dressing room, and immediately sent a message to Bai Qingquan: [He's here.]

After Bai Qingquan received the message, he said to Wei Ge: "Let's go."

Wei Ge who was sitting in the nanny's car with Bai Qingquan said: "You must be stable."

Bai Qingquan didn't speak. He put his phone on the table. His mood had been very complicated. He introduced Shen Jintai to play the second male lead in order to lift the sedan chair*. He thought he would crush Shen Jintai until no scum was left. Who knew that Shen Jintai would rob him of all the limelight as soon as the broadcast was aired.

*Lift the sedan chair (抬轿) = buzzword refers to someone who is more qualified and has a bigger brand to make green leaves for those below them.

When he browsed the major forums, all he saw were Shen Jintai and not a single mention of Bai Qingquan. He should've never been such a generous person, especially to Shen Jintai!

How angry, how hateful, how unwilling!

"I am most worried about you," Wei Ge said: "If you are affected by these things, you will be completely suppressed by Shen Jintai in the scene today. At that time, netizens will not only praise Shen Jintai, but will also compare you with one another. Do you want to be the one who get stepped on?"

"I know," Bai Qingquan looked out the window coldly. The car had already entered the film and television city: "I know what I should do."

At this point, self-abandonment will only make the situation worse. Even if his mood was extremely bad, he must adjust his mood and continue to fight. He wanted to fight Shen Jintai to the end. Even if he can't get up after being beaten, he won't admit defeat. This is his last stubbornness!
