Chapter 314 - 292: Does the Director of This Show Have No Dignity?


Chapter 314: Chapter 292: Does the Director of This Show Have No Dignity?

“Life Experience” initially began with the production team carrying out tasks, but eventually led to the dismissal of the program planner, with guests being set free, and the show’s popularity experienced another surge.

Even Zhu Xiu’an, who was still in the hospital, saw it all. He woke up after his IV drip, feeling much better, and stayed for further observation. However, due to last night’s online chaos and trending topics, Zhu Xiu’an went live as soon as he got up to report the situation to his fans and even put in a good word for Director Wang. Chapters first released on novel⟡fire.net

Upon learning that his fans had teamed up last night to complete renovation tasks, his enthusiasm surged, and he boldly claimed that he would take the first place this episode, boasting shamelessly in the live broadcast room.

Then, the new KPI of the production team appeared in the comments of the live broadcast room.

That’s when Zhu Xiu’an’s boasting finally cracked.

Covering his stomach, Zhu Xiu’an angrily accused, “Uncle Wang, I misjudged you. I take back every good thing I said about you! Hmph, what a villain!”

Zhu Xiu’an lay on the hospital bed, cursing Director Wang from afar.

Yet this genuine attitude surprisingly eased the discontent of the fans towards this episode of “Life Experience”.

After all, who can really control a silly dog? You just can’t! Oh, the production team has it tough, and Director Wang works so hard too!

#HeartacheForDirectorWang# even managed to catch the tail end of the trending topics.

Director Wang’s wish ultimately came true, just not quite the way he wanted.

Since morning, the production team had completely let go and let things slide, leaving several guests momentarily at a loss.

There used to be fixed segments; upon waking, they knew what tasks to do. Now that Director Wang suddenly let go, no one knew what to start with.

Especially for the regular guests, when the director’s role fell on them, they had to consider the ratings too. Without game plots, how were they supposed to attract the audience?

It’s like when a company boss gives you company shares; you can work even harder for the company.

All the guests were pondering.

Guan Fengyan, having been in the production team the longest, was very familiar with personnel coordination and was the first to propose splitting tasks.

“Today, our goals are simple: on the one hand, we discover stories, and on the other, we continue to earn money. Now I see that Director Wang and the others have emptied everything usable from the house, so we probably have to earn money for props, costumes, and decor for filming ourselves.”

Sheng Yaoyao: “Alright, then let’s split into two groups, one to find stories and one to make money. Let’s summarize in the evening, and the two teams can take turns tomorrow.”

They reached an agreement and started dividing the tasks.

Sheng Yaoyao counted the people, and it was only at this point, as she started counting, that she realized there seemed to be one person missing from the production team?

Sheng Yaoyao looked at Guan Fengyan, “Eh? How come there are only seven of us, Xiao Yue is in the hospital, so where’s Bai Zhe? Why haven’t I seen him?”

Guan Fengyan was puzzled too, “I didn’t see him when I woke up this morning?”

“He might’ve left the program team! If it were me, I’d be too embarrassed to stay either!” Le Qiqi subtly remarked.

It had been over half an hour since the guests gathered together before they realized one guest was missing.

[Help! Bai Zhe’s really out of this show, haha!]

[Speechless, Le Qiqi have some manners, would you? Good thing our brother withdrew, lousy program, lousy guests! Scram!]

[You’re anxious, aren’t you? Plus, your brother didn’t appear for nothing; at least I found out his nickname is Green Arrow!]

[Eh? I’m also wondering where Bai Zhe went, but it’s just as well he’s not here. If he were and met Ji Xizhi, how awkward would that be? And here I am, my habit of feeling secondhand embarrassment is acting up again!]

[I checked his Weibo; he says he withdrew for health reasons. Such a flimsy excuse! If Zhu Xiu’an had posted it, I’d believe it!]

[Zhu Xiu’an just tried to sneak out of the hospital back to the show, but was caught by a nurse at the elevator…]

[Our brother apologized last night, didn’t you get it? And is Ji Xizhi totally blameless? Is Le Qiqi just groveling to Ji Xizhi or what?]

[XD Our brother is so unlucky to have joined this show!]

[Forced to leave the program, search for possible issues with “Life Experience” that we can report; we can’t let our brother be wronged!]

Le Qiqi’s one complaint ignited a wave of anger among Bai Zhe’s fans.

Originally, Bai Zhe’s withdrawal from the program team left fans puzzled about the situation, wanting to rage at the production but lacking a reason. Now, Le Qiqi had conveniently given them an excuse.

Bai Zhe’s fans were flooding into the live broadcast room.

That’s when Ji Xizhi at the center of the live stream slowly opened her mouth, absentmindedly mentioning.

“I remember there should be breach of contract clauses, leaving prematurely due to personal reasons counts as a breach, there should be penalty compensation, right?”

Penalty compensation?!

Other guests got the hint the second Ji Xizhi mentioned this.

Mentioning the contract! Take note, sisters, it’s another legit matter, how can we call it a trap (it’s not a trap if it’s legit)…

Director Wang thought of the compensation money, his face involuntarily showing a prideful expression.

However, looking at Ji Xizhi, he restrained himself, revealing a modest and reserved smile: “Compensation should be paid, but I’m an honest man!”

“Since Director Wang doesn’t plan to follow the breach contract, then there’s no need for me to help.” Ji Xizhi nodded politely, intending to review the new KPI guidebooks and videos.

Director Wang quickly pulled her back, changing his tune fast, and said in a soft and humble tone: “We still want it! Absolutely need it!!! Our program has always been a law-abiding good show, of course, we have to follow the signed contract!”

Director Wang said with a straight face, his heart and eyes only focused on the three million in breach fees.

He had only mentioned the breach penalty with Bai Zhe this morning, verbally, and Bai Zhe’s agency was tough to deal with. By the time the legal teams went back and forth, it’d undoubtedly take quite some time. Now that they had a legal advisor ready in their team, how could he not use it?

Using them well matched the money he had spent on heart-stopping pills!

Ji Xizhi: “…”

Other guests: “………”

Bai Zhe’s fans in the live broadcast: “……………”

Does this program’s director have no dignity?!

Undaunted by his lack of dignity, Director Wang fearlessly carried on, after all, he was no longer the director!
