Chapter 1599: Only Success, No Failure

The entire production team and producers used Su Bei’s popularity to increase their click rate and exposure.

Su Bei’s fans, who had seen many things, had long stopped treating this matter as something worth paying attention to. The fans were united and did not click on any such news. They did not look at the articles at all, nor did they increase the popularity of the news.

However, there would always be audiences who did not know the truth and believed such news. They even came to the conclusion that Manli was even more popular than Su Bei now.

It could only be said that people with no bottom line were indeed more likely to succeed.

In the past few days, Su Bei had been taking care of her mother, Lin Xiruo. From time to time, she would go and take a look at Xiao Xi. She did not care about the Xiao family using her for popularity.

Xiao Xi had almost recovered and could be discharged, but her external injuries still required her to go to the hospital every day to change her dressing.

Wu Jiaheng sent her home. Seeing that Xiao Ling was not around, he asked, “Why don’t you stay at my house?”

Seeing her blush, he quickly explained, “You can’t move your hands yet, and you can’t get them wet. Stay at my house. My mother can take care of you. Now that Lil’ Hua has started going to kindergarten, my mother has some free time. Otherwise, I’m worried that after I join the production team, you won’t have anyone to take care of you at all.”

Xiao Xi thought for a long time before saying, “Alright then.”

Wu Jiaheng nodded and helped her back into the car.

The security was good where he lived. He was relieved that Xiao Xi would be living here.

Mrs. Wu was happy to see Xiao Xi and welcomed her into the house.

Actually, Mrs. Wu knew about the matter with Xiao Ming and Xiao Xi. She had the same thoughts as her son. She didn’t think that Xiao Xi had done anything wrong. Instead, she pitied her. She had already tidied up the guest room for her and prepared toiletries.

Seeing the brand-new toiletries warmed Xiao Xi’s heart.

“Stay here with us for the time being. Tell me if you want to eat or use anything. Don’t be afraid of troubling me,” Mrs. Wu said considerately.

“Thank you, Aunt.”

Mrs. Wu smiled and said, “I haven’t even thanked you for helping Jiaheng.”

Wu Jiaheng was busy with the new production, so Xiao Xi temporarily settled down in the Wu family.

When Wu Jiaheng wasn’t busy with filming, he would rush home to accompany Lil’ Hua or drive Xiao Xi to the hospital to change her dressing.

They didn’t talk about getting into a relationship again, but it seemed that many things came naturally.

Xiao Xi’s mentality gradually improved while staying in his house.

As she had gotten afraid after listening to what Su Bei said last time, Madam Xiao did not dare to do anything more to Xiao Xi.

If A Tale of the Qin Dynasty succeeded and the Xiao family survived, not only would Xiao Xi be miserable, but Nirvana Entertainment would also be within her attack range.

Hence, the TV show could only succeed and not fail.

Currently, two TV stations had already offered nine million yuan per episode for the broadcast rights of A Great Tale of the Qin Dynasty.

In total, the two TV stations would pay 1.42 billion yuan for 80 episodes.

However, the fees were just a small matter. The increase in share price and ensuring the high hopes of the shareholders for the Xiao family’s future were the most important.

The popularity of the TV show would drive the Xiao family’s share price up. The rise of the entire Xiao family would be guaranteed by then.

However, just as the TV stations were about to sign the contract, there was a small problem with Li Junyu.

It was a small problem because it was indeed a very small problem at the beginning.

One netizen commented directly on Li Junyu’s manager’s Weibo account and asked when she would be paid for the thesis.

In a panic, the manager deleted the comment of the netizen and even closed her Weibo comment.

However, Li Junyu had been very popular recently, so his manager had also been overly exerted. She referenced Su Bei several times on Weibo and used her popularity to increase Li Junyu’s popularity.

The sharp-eyed netizens naturally did not let this go. They directly asked Li Junyu’s manager what thesis she had to pay for.

Seeing that the matter couldn’t be hidden anymore, the manager posted on Weibo: [Recently, a cousin of mine has been facing the problem of writing his thesis and doesn’t know where to start. I consulted a professional on the internet and paid for a consultation. After that, I was so busy that I forgot to pay the balance. Now that the matter has been resolved, please don’t worry.]

However, her explanation raised everyone’s questions. [Shouldn’t you have finished paying for the consultation from the get-go? What’s with the final payment?]

[I followed the clues and saw that the netizen who asked for payment is from the Film and Television Academy. Is your cousin also from the Film and Television Academy? Is he studying acting?]

[Ms. Manager, let me remind you that paying for consultation is fine, but paying to buy a thesis is against the rules. I suggest you don’t do anything rash.]

The manager replied: [Of course, I’m not doing anything rash. Thank you for your concern. This matter ends here. Everyone, disperse.]

However, everyone did not disperse because some netizens who could not stay idle went to read Li Junyu’s thesis.

After all, Li Junyu relied on being a top student to establish himself in the industry. Previously, he had released many papers in public publications. He was now studying for a Ph.D. There was also information for undergraduate and master’s theses to consult publicly. Moreover, during the recording of A Tale of the Qin Dynasty, he provided information and explanation of the historical side of things. He attracted the attention of many fans and netizens. He was well-liked by everyone.

However, one wouldn’t know if one didn’t investigate. After investigating, the people realized that Li Junyu’s published thesis was plagiarised. Much of the content could be found in other people’s earlier published theses.

They followed the clues and read his two graduation theses. The same problem could be found in them.

All of this was far from the top student persona he portrayed.

The netizens couldn’t help but ask: [What’s with Li Junyu’s theses? Can he really be a top student like this?]

[Didn’t he say that he’s very knowledgeable about the Qin dynasty? But look at this video. What he said about the Qin dynasty is full of mistakes.]

The netizen who had asked Li Junyu’s manager for money previously also stepped forward amidst the discussion. [I think I have more say in this matter. Previously, when I accepted Li Junyu’s manager’s money, I felt that it was inappropriate for me to voice out when I accepted his money to help him solve his problems. However, seeing that the matter was getting bigger and bigger, I knew that this isn’t the first time Li Junyu has done such a thing. I can no longer cover for him.

[Previously, Li Junyu’s manager came to me and wanted me to write a doctoral thesis based on the history of the Qin dynasty and other aspects of the film industry. She also offered to pay me a high price.

[When faced with the reward, I was tempted, so I quickly provided them with a corresponding thesis.]
