Chapter 419: Chapter 420 I’m Going to Reserve It

The content translated from the paper reads:

"Girl, by the time you read this letter, I will no longer exist, but my spirit will always be with you.

Your father is sorry for what he has done. The marriage alliance between your father and your mother was my idea. I originally thought that having a child would stabilize the family, but your birth led to your mother’s death during childbirth.

Your father has always felt guilty, believing that he wronged your mother and couldn’t get over it. He wanted to kill you, but I stopped him and had you live with a poor family to toughen you up.

You’re as smart as I imagined. Even poverty couldn’t dull your edge, and I am truly pleased.

I know you are content with your current life and that you wouldn’t want to return to the He family. This money is a gesture from me, and I hope you will accept it.

PS: Even if you don’t accept it, it’s no big deal; I could just reveal your identity. I heard you haven’t solved the last puzzle I left you. I wonder if you can solve it now?"

Deng Meili ground her teeth, the last sentence was clearly a threat!

She didn’t know who Chairman He was, but she knew her master well. On the surface, he might act carefree and indifferent, saying it didn’t matter, but behind the scenes, he could plot your demise.

Deng Meili wasn’t talented. Ever since she was young, she had been frequently tricked by her master and had come to thoroughly understand his nature.

If she went against his wishes, ha, she might as well wait for her hacker identity to be exposed!

In the background, the lawyer’s voice came slowly: "How would you like to deal with this inheritance? If you don’t want it, you can donate it to a charity, or you could—"

"I, want it!" Deng Meili said through gritted teeth.

She lifted her head, her eyes seemingly containing a flame that burned incredibly brightly, scorching all things in the world.

She suppressed the surging anger in her chest, word by word, she said: "I want this inheritance for sure!"

The end credits played out, pausing at this exciting moment.

The audience messaged each other excitedly on the live comment feed, asking where the next episode was. When they found out that the next episode won’t air until tomorrow, they were greatly disappointed.

"This is quite interesting, not like those same old N...C romance dramas at all."

"We have to wait until tomorrow to watch? Don’t leave us hanging, at least air four episodes a week!"

"Right, I strongly request four episodes. Watching just two episodes is not satisfying enough!"

"I’m very curious, surely the inheritance won’t come that easily, so did the protagonist comply with the inheritance’s conditions to infiltrate the classroom as a teacher?"

"The grandfather is really naughty, still playing a trick on his own granddaughter even after death."

"I wonder, why agree? If she’s revealed as the long-lost daughter of the He family, no problem. Just reveal it, so what!"

"Are you dumb? It’s clear they’re talking about exposing her hacker identity. If she worked for the state, fine, but if not, tsk, it’d be a public death!"

...

He Jinxia, along with other actors from the crew, had already arrived in the director’s room and were watching the first episode of "High Energy Classroom" air, browsing the internet afterwards for viewers’ reactions to the show.

There were many positive online reviews, and the members of the production crew breathed a sigh of relief.

Actually, for a TV series, the potential to turn the tides often comes after half the episodes have aired; only then can one roughly tell if the show has the potential to become a hit. Moreover, most viewers don’t like to watch TV series with only one or two episodes.

Regardless, if the opening viewership figures for "High Energy Classroom" are good, then that’s even better. It can stabilize the actors’ emotions and the atmosphere of the crew.

After all the members of the film crew had dispersed, Director Zhou remained deep in thought, considering the feasibility of releasing four episodes a week.

After a while, he shook his head. For a TV series that only intended to be about twenty episodes, airing four episodes a week was indeed too extravagant.

The next day, He Jinxia finished a day’s shooting and lay down on her bed automatically, opening the Tengfei Video app on her phone and waited for the second episode of "High Energy Classroom".

She thought this episode was interesting when she was filming it and wondered if it would be just as interesting when broadcasted.

At that moment, Sheng Yan made a video call, and when He Jinxia answered, she saw a crowd of people.

Her own mother, Mrs. Sheng, and Sheng Yan were all squeezed together, saying hi~ to her.

He Jinxia placed her hand beside her face, curled her palm into a paw and waved back at them, just like a beckoning cat, continuously waving her small hand...

Curious, Mrs. Sheng asked, "What are you doing, Jinxia?"

He Jinxia: "I’m watching a TV show!"

Mrs. He: "Are you watching the TV series you were in?"

He Jinxia: "Yes, I’m critiquing my own acting, immersing myself among the public to spot my inadequacies!"

Mrs. Sheng laughed, "Ha, you make it sound so serious, as if it’s not just watching a TV show!"

Sheng Yan then spoke, his tone light, "Mom, Jinxia is right, we actors shouldn’t just act, we need to watch more of other people’s work and understand our own to see where we can improve."

Mrs. Sheng glared at Sheng Yan and suddenly felt a sense of her child outgrowing her influence. The daughter-in-law wasn’t even in the picture yet, and he was already learning to take sides.

But...

Mrs. Sheng’s eyes curved up slightly; she couldn’t wait to marry off her son.

Mrs. Sheng: "We’re also watching ’High Energy Classroom’. You played Deng Meili so well, does she become a teacher in the next part?"

He Jinxia nodded, "Right, the part where she first meets the students is pretty funny. Remember to watch it, Auntie."

Mrs. He and Mrs. Sheng both nodded happily, chatting about various topics. Just when they were about to hang up, He Jinxia, as if suddenly remembering something, hastily asked, "Brother Sheng Yan, how is the box office for ’World’?"

Sheng Yan paused, took the phone from Mrs. He, and looking at her, said, "It has already surpassed three billion, and it’s estimated to quickly reach fifty billion."

The figures sounded good, but since Sheng Yan was a superstar and Director Li’s movie was a big production, He Jinxia was unsure if this was actually a positive result.

Upon checking her phone, the entertainment media was unanimously praising the movie, a common industry practice. A big production at the start of its release would always receive positive reviews, buoyed by paid reviewers to create a wave of good reputation before the real opinions emerged after a few days.

So, He Jinxia inquired, "Do you think this performance is satisfactory?"

Sheng Yan: "It’s not very good."

He Jinxia was taken aback, "You’re joking, right?"

Sheng Yan’s mouth curved into a faint smile, "I never lie to you."

He Jinxia’s brows furrowed, as if wanting to say something else, but at that moment her mother took away the phone, keen on casting "High Energy Classroom" onto the TV. Their conversation was thus interrupted.

Distracted by this interruption, He Jinxia stopped dwelling on the matter, convinced that Sheng Yan was just setting the bar too high for himself.

She sent him a message, "Don’t stress too much, you’re already amazing," and immersed herself back into the TV series.
