The production team of “The Birth of an Employee” was acutely aware of Gu Huiyan’s esteemed status in the art world.

Even though he no longer appeared in public frequently, his prowess and respect remained undiminished.

The younger generation might not recognize Gu Huiyan by sight, but his name was undoubtedly familiar to them.

With Gu Huiyan involved, the show was already halfway to success.

Thus, the planner and director only felt a slight regret over Si Fuqing’s departure, without any desire to persuade her to stay.

They could even declare that removing Si Fuqing was an effort to give the program a more academic focus.

Once they promoted Gu Huiyan’s involvement, the audience numbers were sure to be unaffected.

Upper management would surely reward them with additional funding.

But what was this news he was hearing now?!

The planner was stunned, his mind buzzing. He barely believed what he was hearing, his mouth agape, “What did you say?”

What was the connection between Gu Huiyan and Si Fuqing?

“Miss Si is present, so is the director,” said the middle-aged man indifferently, his voice carried no hint of emotion. “Without Miss Si, you might as well choose another filming location. Though the director is technically retired, he still manages the Heaven Earth Alliance, so forget about it.”

“If you’re so impressive. Perhaps it’s time to seek someone more capable!” Then abruptly ended the call.

The planner was still in shock, standing by his desk with sweat breaking out on his back, unable to recover his senses for a long time.

He had calculated everything, but had not foreseen that Gu Huiyan had agreed to be a judge only because of Si Fuqing!

Now that Gu Huiyan wouldn’t come, they couldn’t go to the Heaven Earth Alliance to film!

What were they to do now?

“Quick! Call Si Fuqing’s team!” the planner said, trembling and sweating. “Ask her to return, she can choose any group she likes! We can even raise her fee!” As long as Si Fuqing returned, he was willing to agree to any of her demands.

The assistant frantically dialed the phone.

It was Sang Yanqing who answered, her tone cold, “Our artist currently has no availability.”

The call was abruptly ended, and when they tried to call back, the number had already been blacklisted, leaving only a cold, mechanical voice in response.

“The planner, there’s trouble!” the operator ran in breathlessly, panic written all over his face. “Si Fuqing’s team has already posted a termination announcement on Weibo!”

The planner immediately took over the computer.

Displayed was a Weibo post, freshly made just a minute ago.

[@SiFuqingStudioV: ‘The Birth of an Employee’ production team has unilaterally breached the contract, maliciously damaging Ms. Si Fuqing’s reputation, contract terminated [goodbye]. ]

Fans, well versed in such matters, understood the implications immediately.

With the studio posting this Weibo, the fans all knew what happened.

[Are they ditching us? Good job, production team. I’ll encourage everyone I

Imow to boycott.]

[She’s not filming anymore, our Qingqing deserves better.]

[Some netizens really are clueless, thinking just because Big Sister Si joined a workplace reality show she’s just a pretty face, as if she couldn’t appear on her own?]

[Oh no, she really shouldn’t know too much, if she ever leaves the industry, I’d have nowhere to cry.]

Si Fuqing’s fans were already mobilizing on forums, calling for a boycott of the production team.

After reading the posts, the planner slumped in his chair, his face ashen, “It’s over…”

It wasn’t just about Si Fuqing; Gu Huiyan was crucial.

He had already reported that Gu Huiyan would participate to the above.

Now that Gu Huiyan wouldn’t come, how was he to explain this?

He hadn’t expected Si Fuqing’s team to be so resolute; to simply refuse to film.

Even the director was panicked, for the first time feeling completely at a loss,

“What do we do now?”

“We’ll have to find another way to salvage this,” the planner said, taking a deep breath, his hands trembling. “Bring the list of alternative guests.”

But he knew that no matter whom they invited, no one could compare to Gu Huiyan.

The director wiped his sweat and joined the planner in selecting a new guest.

Elsewhere, in a villa nestled among the trees.

In the study, Feng San was reporting the day’s news.

After handling various matters, Feng San added, “There’s one more thing, Miss Sits new variety show has encountered some issues and they’ve ceased cooperation. ”

He detailed the sequence of events and remarked, “The production team really knows how to act according to the wind. It seems they regretted their decision after realizing Elder Gu came only for Miss Si.”

Yu Xiheng, looking up from his desk, replied calmly, “She hasn’t mentioned this to me.”

His expression was serene, yet unfathomable.

Feng San nodded, “Miss Si indeed prefers not to discuss such matters.” After all, it wasn’t something significant enough to mention..
