Li Huan was stupefied. A gust of wind blew over, causing him to shiver. Only then did he realize that his entire body was drenched in sweat.
What should he do? If he accepted the red packet and let go of the words, was he going to change his words now? Wouldn't that mean he had to put his face close to the other party's?
However, if he did not do so, he would not be able to maintain his position as the assistant director that he had gone through great difficulty to get. How would he be able to raise a family?
Furthermore, Director Han would not be so angry for no reason. Could it be that Lin Xiyue had some huge power backing him?
They were done for. How could they not wet their shoes when they often walked by the river? If they offended someone they could not afford to offend, then how could they continue hanging around the television station in the future?
When she thought of this, Li Huan felt as if her heart had been dipped in cold water.
A dozen seconds later, he finally clenched his teeth and walked back to the audition room.
In the preliminary room, Lu Min stood beside Lin Xiyue and comforted her softly, "Xi Yue, your performance just now was very good. I am very satisfied."
"Thank you, teacher." Lin Xiyue smiled faintly, but there was a trace of disappointment in his heart.
She had seen Li Huan and the other judges' performance, so she naturally knew what was going on. Although she had been prepared for some things, she still felt uncomfortable after it had actually happened.
But no matter what, she had a bottom line in her heart. She would absolutely not yield to someone.
However, the other judges mocked him by the side, "Your skill level is only average. Who are you putting on an act for?"
"That's right, do you really think you're a superstar?"
"The resumes were full of bluster, but in the end, you couldn't even pass the audition. What a joke."
"What did you say?" Lu Min turned around and glared at Qin Lin.
With Assistant Director Li's backing, the latter naturally did not back down and said with a cold smile, "I'm just speaking the truth. The elimination of this student today is already an established fact, and he couldn't even pass the audition. Can't I doubt the authenticity of her resume?"
"Humph, you all should know the trick behind this. You still have the face to suspect others?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know." Qin Lin proudly exchanged a glance with Wang Yang and He Xuanyuan, then said: "We have always been fair, fair, and open to everyone. It was her own fault that Lin Xiyue was eliminated, so it couldn't be blamed on others."
As she said this, Li Huan walked in with a strange expression on her face. Qin Lin immediately went up to him and said with a flattering smile, "Director Li, what do you say?"
"What is it?" Li Huan didn't know what they were talking about, so she asked subconsciously.
"I mean, the reason why this student called Lin Xiyue was eliminated just now was all because of his own strength. It's no wonder that someone else did it, what do you think, Director Li?"
Qin Lin asked as she shot a provocative glance at Lu Min, her heart brimming with pride.
Amongst the few judges, she was the one who was most adept at following the wind and steering the wind. And Director Han was not present at the audition venue. As the assistant director in charge, Li Huan undoubtedly had the most authority.
At this moment, it was obvious that she wouldn't let go if she hugged his leg tightly.
Qin Lin thought that her flattery was perfect, but she did not expect Li Huan to become angry after hearing it, "Who said that Lin Xiyue's strength is weak? Are you deaf or an idiot? You don't even have the least bit of aesthetics? What judge is this level of skill? "
This string of curses came too suddenly, causing Qin Lin to be stunned.
Li Huan was still not done as she continued to shout angrily, "That performance just now was flawless. There was nothing wrong with it. Passing the audition is something without a doubt. I do not want any controversy on this matter."
Although there were five judges, Li Huan was the assistant director in charge of this year's audition. She had absolute authority in the selection. With his roar, there was nothing left for the judges to do.
However, no one could understand why Li Huan's attitude had changed so much in just a few minutes.
"Director Li, you … Are you alright? " Qin Lin asked cautiously.
"Bullshit, what's wrong with me?" Li Huan swore loudly, "Such a good program, and yet you all rejected it. Do you even have the slightest bit of artistic talent or business insight? I'm too lazy to say anything. "
Hearing that, Qin Lin's face became even more awkward, there was also Wang Yang and He Xuanyuan who had the same expression as him. It was obviously Li Huan who came over to greet Lin Xiyue, allowing them to eliminate Lin Xiyue, which was why they had been opposed to her promotion.
However, from the looks of it, something must have gone wrong. At this moment, it was not convenient for him to explain everything that had happened. Seeing that Li Huan was the assistant director, he couldn't help but swallow his grievances.
In the next moment, Li Huan turned around to face Lu Min and Lin Xiyue.
"Lu laoshi, Student Lin, I have wronged you. I apologize, sincerely apologize. I hope the two of you will not take this to heart."
Lu Min and Lin Xiyue looked at each other and saw the shock on each other's face. Lu Min could not help but ask, "Li Huan, what the hell are you doing?"
"No, I'm just speaking the truth." Li Huan's face was filled with smiles as she said, "There was indeed a small misunderstanding, but I was blind. When I answered the phone from the toilet, I thought about it, and realized that I was too muddle-headed earlier, almost burying a real good work and a talent as talented as Miss Lin. I feel really ashamed inside."
Looking at his respectful attitude, it was hard to imagine his arrogant and unreasonable attitude.
"I don't think so." Lin Xiyue said as she frowned. Li Huan's sudden change had caused her to feel uneasy, worried that there was another trap lurking within.
However, the moment he said that, Li Huan's expression immediately changed, "Miss Lin, please reconsider. We are very sincere."
"With your strength, passing the audition will only be the beginning. I believe that after the finals, everyone will be amazed. After that, you will be a star disciple. This is a great opportunity."
"Also, I solemnly promise on behalf of the company that I will definitely package and promote you. I will try to make you popular before the finals start, and I will also hire a professional to guide and train you. We will be responsible for all the expenses."
"If you still have any concerns, we can draft a contract later. If you have any requests, feel free to ask for them."
Saying that, Li Huan looked at Lin Xiyue and Lu Min anxiously, and asked with a begging tone: "How about it, Miss Lin can think about it again?"
