After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God

Chapter 646: The Completely Forgotten Ji Qingwei (2)

She had yet to speak when the martial arts department also expressed interest in recruiting.

“I’ll consider it,” Si Fuqing nodded. “I’m quite busy with filming; I need to assess my capabilities and do my best.”

Sang Yanqing was silent.

Please, she was already traumatized by the phrase “do my best.”

“Exactly, one must assess their capabilities and do their best,” Professor Xu said with a smile. “Student Si, you’re so dedicated. I’ll definitely watch your drama, and not just me—my doctoral students will too.”

Professor Chen was not to be outdone. “Do you think I don’t have doctoral students and researchers? I teach large classes too, three hundred students per lecture.”

Who’s afraid ofhaving more students?

Both professors left in a huff.

The humble physics professor handed Sang Yanqing a business card before heading to the hotel Si Fuqing had booked for them.

They continued to argue along the way, all revolving around Si Fuqing.

This was an attention that Ji Qingwei had never received before.

This time, because Ji Qingwei didn’t write her essay, her total score was 640, ranking second—a high score nonetheless.

But due to Si Fuqing’s perfect score, the professors at Great Xia University had collectively forgotten about her.

At that moment, in the Ji family of Sijiu City, Lady Ji received Ji Qingwei’s scores from this joint examination.

“Qingwei, you are truly amazing,” Lady Ji exclaimed joyously. ‘You didn’t write your essay and still ranked second. If you had written it, you could have led by dozens of points.”

If Ji Qingwei tried to write her essay, she would definitely score perfect.

So, she should have scored 700 points.

A score of 700 in the joint exam was a feat only Ji Qingwei could achieve.

Nobody else would come close.

Lady Ji showed no inclination to blame Ji Qingwei; instead, she felt heartache instead. “Qingwei, hang in there. Yu Yao is still looking for the Heavenly Doctor Ghosthand for you. You’ll recover for sure.”

Ji Qingwei smiled, “Thank you, mom.”

“Make sure to rest well,” Lady Ji expressed her concern. “You vomited blood again this morning. The doctor said it was vital essence, which is very draining.”

Ji Qingwei’s complexion was pale. “I’m sorry to worry you, mom and fad.” But there were things she did not say.

In the past few days, she felt as if something was gradually being stripped from her, which made her anxious.

Yet, aside from not writing the essay due to her health, she had performed better in the other subjects than in the previous exam.

Ji Qingwei didn’t dwell on it too much.

“Once you’re better, Mom will take you to the international sports event,” Lady

Ji said lovingly as she stroked her hair. “Then you can move freely too.” Ji Qingwei coughed a few times. “Is older sister still mad at me?”

“Why would she be mad at you?” Lady Ji’s expression darkened instantly. “Stop worrying about her. She should…”

Ji Qingwei’s eyelashes fluttered down, a hint of sadness in her gaze.

“Rest well, ” Lady Ji stood up. “Yu Yao will come over in a bit; have a good talk with him.

She left the bedroom and closed the door.

“Strange, Qingwei scored so well this time, but why is there no buzz from Great Xia University?” Ji Longtai frowned on the sofa. “Last time, several professors came to recruit Qingwei.”

“Maybe they are busy with something,” Lady Ji suggested. “Besides, our Qingwei wouldn’t go to Great Xia University anyway. It’s better they didn’t come. ”

Being in the top fifty of the international joint examination would attract attention from the Free State.

Great Xia University was simply no comparison.

“That’s true,” Ji Longtai’s frown relaxed. “I’ll go buy some electronic parts for

Qingwei.”

Elsewhere, at the LI Corporation.

The secretary was reporting the situation in Sijiu City to LI Yanshen.

“The Ji family consulted another group of doctors today. It seems Miss Ji’s condition has worsened these last few days, not looking optimistic,” the secretary reported. “The Ji family hasn’t given up; they’re still seeking better doctors.”

“The Lin family took that contract from us, and their profits have tripled.”

Hearing this, a change finally came over LI Yanshen’s expression. “What about the Yu family?”

“The Yu family is as usual. Old Master Yu is in good health, but Old Lady Yu’s mental state is deteriorating. The Yu family has invited another high monk from Guanghua Temple to preach,” the secretary continued. “The Nineth Son of Yu Family has not been in Sijiu City recently, and we couldn’t track his exact whereabouts.”

LI Yanshen nodded slightly.

The LI family was already a few ranks below the Yu family, not to mention the close relations the Yu family had with the upper echelons of the Thousand Army Alliance, with their ancestral home guarded by the alliance’s protectors.

Although Yu Xiheng was not the favorite of Old Master Yu and Old Lady Yu, he certainly lacked no guards around him.

“President LI, there’s another matter,” the secretary continued after a moment’s pause. “Miss Bai wishes to participate in a job-seeking reality show on the Great Xia network titled ‘The Birth of an Employee,’ but the spots are already filled. She hopes you could help secure a place in the medical group.”

“That’s fine,” LI Yanshen massaged his temples, “I’ve been busy these days and haven’t spent much time with her. If she wants to participate, let her. Go and contact Great Xia TV.”

The secretary acknowledged and left.

The next morning, the crew of ‘Crossing the Demon Realm,’ a major female-led fantasy drama, officially wrapped up filming.

The official Weibo account posted the wrap-up photos, and the crew was preparing for the wrap party.

The post-production team had already begun editing the final cuts.

Barring any surprises, ‘Crossing the Demon Realm’ was set to premiere during the winter break on the Great Xia TV, in prime time.

One could only imagine how high the ratings would be.

Tang Haiqiu was overseeing the post-production edits when Director Qin called, “Old Tang, I’m terribly sorry, but it looks like we can’t get the prime time slot in January anymore.”

“What’s the matter, Old Qin?” Tang Haiqiu frowned. “You just told me yesterday that we had secured the prime time slot. What happened now?”

“Old Tang, I didn’t expect this to happen,” Director Qin took a deep breath. “The schedule review team told me yesterday that the 8 PM slot was available, but today, Teacher Tong’s team arrived, and the slot was given away.”

Tang Hangqiu paused, “Tong Luoyun?

“Yes, her,” Director Qin sounded helpless. “She’s also just finished a historical strategy drama, and you know the network reviewers love that stuff. They gave away the prime time slot straight to her.”

“After shifting to the film industry, Tong Luoyun hadn’t shot a drama in three to four years. This TV drama is highly regarded by the network.”

There was something else Director Qin didn’t relay.

As a leading figure among the top actresses, Tong Luoyun had been famous for a long time, becoming a ratings queen a decade ago and had won many mainstream awards. She had been invited by Great Xia TV to participate in their Spring Festival Gala multiple times.

Si Fuqing, a newcomer, was following the path of a popularity-based star, and this was her first drama; she didn’t even have a fan base yet.

Between the two, who could guarantee better ratings wasn’t even a question.

Tang Haiqiu fell silent.

There was no way for him to refute Director Qin’s words. Xianxia dramas were already difficult to pass through censorship, and that ‘Crossing the Demon Realm’ was approved without cuts was a feat in itself.

“Old Tang, how about this? Premiere it in April; the prime time slot should be available then,” Director Qin suggested. “It just won’t have the holiday traffic.” “Alright,” Tang Haiqiu sighed. “I’ll go talk to Fuqing and see what she thinks.”

After the call ended, he went to find Si Fuqing.

Si Fuqing had just removed her makeup. “Director Tang?”

“Fuqing, there’s been a slight problem with the broadcasting schedule,” Tang Haiqiu explained. “We lost the winter holiday prime time slot. We can switch to another time, what do you think?”

Si Fuqing looked up. “The winter break prime time slot is gone?”

“Yes, it was all set, but unfortunately, a senior of yours is taking over— Teacher Tong Luoyun’s drama,” Tang Haiqiu shook his head. “If it’s really not possible, we can premiere in April, but you’ll have to wait a bit longer. April is a tough slot, so maybe we should consider switching networks?”

Si Fuqing pondered for a few seconds, then smiled.. “Director Tang, how about releasing it simultaneously domestically and internationally?”
