Chapter 774: Wu Wanying’s Removal, Cai Zhongnian’s Support (1)

Wu Wanying’s ears buzzed for a moment, completely unprepared for the response she received.

In her imagination, the production team would be caught cheating for Si Fuqing and apologize to her in a panic. How could this happen?

Moreover, what did it mean that this was the real ranking?

Wu Wanying’s mind buzzed, her thoughts halted, unable to comprehend Director Qin’s words.

Her face turned pale, and she opened her mouth, “Director, what do you mean by the true ranking? You…”

“Withdrawing from the show midway is a breach of contract,” Director Qin didn’t want to explain, still indifferent. “You were sent here by Great Xia University, so you don’t need to pay a penalty. Just take your things and get out.”

Wu Wanying never expected things to turn out like this. Her hands and feet grew cold, her whole body stiffening.

“Also, how did you see this ranking?” Director Qin squinted. “The program team’s version has been altered; only Elder Cai has the original. Did you go through Elder Cai’s things?”

This question was like a thunderclap in Wu Wanying’s ears, making her hands tremble. “I…”

Director Qin didn’t give her a chance to speak and called an assistant, “Ask Elder Cai if he’s missing anything.”

Wu Wanying couldn’t utter a word, her feet rooted to the spot, unable to move.

At this moment, Cai Zhongnian also finished his meeting and walked over. After hearing Director Qin’s account, his murky eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light, sweeping over Wu Wanying.

Wu Wanying’s body trembled again. “Elder… Elder Cai…”

Cai Zhongnian held a top-tier position in the country’s medical field. Not even the dean of Great Xia University’s medical school could afford to be disrespectful in front of him.

She hadn’t even had a chance to make an impression on Cai Zhongnian, and now she had walked straight into trouble.

Cai Zhongnian looked at her coldly, “Who gave you permission to touch the things on my desk? You’re a top student from Great Xia University, haven’t your mentors taught you what manners are?”

Wu Wanying froze, cold sweat breaking out on her back. “Elder Cai, I…”

“What else did you touch?” Cai Zhongnian asked coldly, “Speak.”

Wu Wanying’s palms were sweaty, her mind flashing with images of several cell diagrams. She bit her lip, “I only found the registration form and came to find the director. I didn’t touch anything else…”

Cai Zhongnian didn’t believe her and had someone bring up the surveillance footage.

The footage showed Wu Wanying indeed rummaging through the papers on his desk but taking nothing.

Cai Zhongnian pointed to the door, “Get out. I’ll call your mentor and ask what kind of student he’s teaching!”

Wu Wanying panicked, pleading, “Elder Cai, please don’t…”

Cai Zhongnian ignored her.

Director Qin called the staff to escort Wu Wanying out.

“Elder Cai, the person was brought in by the program team. It’s our fault,” Director Qin apologized, “We’re truly sorry.”

“This matter isn’t your fault,” Cai Zhongnian sighed. “It’s a pity that even Great Xia University selects students based only on their academic performance and not their character. Such a personality is unsuitable for a doctor.”

Director Qin nodded in agreement.

He had no intention of keeping Wu Wanying on the show. But since she accused the program team of making Si Fuqing the centerpiece, he would reluctantly keep a few clips of her intentionally sending her face up to be slapped.

As Cai Zhongnian was about to leave, a sudden realization hit him.

He had definitely seen Lu Xingheng before!

In Free State!

The surname Lu.

Cai Zhongnian’s expression changed.

The Lu family from Free State!

The Lu family originally had a prodigy. The eldest son had no fame initially.

But three years ago, he solved a major problem in the medical field, making a name for himself.

Inviting him for a consultation started at seven figures.

After all, Free State’s economy was very developed.

But now, the eldest son of the Lu family had somehow ended up in Great Xia, posing as an orphan.

Cai Zhongnian clutched his chest, pointing a trembling finger at Director Qin, his voice strained, “Your… your program is something else.”

Casually picking someone turned out to be a big shot from Free State?

No wonder Lu Xingheng’s gaze seemed off during their previous discussion.

“It is something else,” Director Qin grinned. “Elder Cai, you might not know, but a few days ago, the overseas broadcasting rights for our show were sold. Guess who bought them?”

Cai Zhongnian was taken aback, “IFTV?”
