Pirates began to dominate the Chinese entertainment industry.

Their school has musical talents? How come he didn't know?

Vice Principal Lei was a little confused by their confident expressions.

But considering the princess's status, the other party shouldn't be making things up.

He thought for a moment and didn't agree immediately. Instead, he tentatively asked, "What major are you in? I'll ask someone to find out."

"Ji Yun, a freshman in the Performing Arts Department," Gao Yuanyuan answered quickly.

"Hmm, freshman... Ji Yun?" Principal Lei's mind suddenly clicked, and he suddenly remembered who this student was.

This is the most famous student from the Shanghai Theatre Academy in recent years; it would be hard for him not to know about him.

The rumored boyfriend of the most popular female celebrity in the country is also a new director with amazing online combat skills.

But now, even a renowned Mandopop diva and a top-tier female celebrity are simultaneously seeking his help for this student with a bad reputation...

Could it be that there's some unspeakable background to it?

He suddenly became highly alert.

Principal Lei glanced at the serious-looking princess again.

If he truly is a musical prodigy that even a princess would fight over, he might even become an outstanding alumnus in the future. We can't let such a talent slip through our fingers.

"It's that student you're going to expel. I can ask my professor friend at the mezzo-soprano department to help recruit him as her last student."

Upon hearing that the Princess Consort had gone to such lengths, Principal Lei realized that Ji Yun must be a talented individual, and it was even less likely that he would let her go.

He waved his hand dismissively and said, "Hey, it's just skipping a few classes. It happens all the time at film schools. It's not enough to get you expelled. A warning will do."

Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help but stand up and say, "He was forced to take leave to go back and run the family business last year because his father passed away. He has a legitimate reason; he's not skipping class without cause! He's in school right now, and you're going to expel him!"

"Is that so?" Principal Lei frowned. "I didn't hear anything from my subordinates. Let's go over there now."

Principal Lei led the way, and the three of them prepared to walk to the Academic Affairs Office on the 6th floor.

But after taking only a few steps, Principal Lei's phone rang.

He glanced at the name on the screen and was a little surprised that she would suddenly call.

"Hello, Mr. Cai..."

"Principal Lei, I have a partner who is a student at your school. He is currently facing some trouble at school due to online criticism, and I would like to ask Principal Lei for help in understanding the situation."

Principal Lei's serious expression was a little hard to keep up. What was wrong? Were all the students in their school so incredibly talented, with backgrounds that seemed to be getting more and more extensive than the last?

Now even the boss of a well-known film and television company in Shanghai has personally called to speak on their behalf. Bosses of this caliber carry a lot of weight for their performing arts school, especially since the other party has actually trained several first- and second-tier actors with Shanghai Theatre Academy backgrounds, such as Hu Ge and Yuan Hong. He really can't just refuse them casually.

"May I ask what this is for?"

"Ji Yun".

"...It's him again?!" Principal Lei's heart skipped a beat. He turned to look at the Princess and Gao Yuanyuan, who had the same purpose, and became even more wary of Ji Yun's background.

This student is not someone to be trifled with.

Which bastard is trying to poison his mind!

……

"They agreed, okay?" Cai Yinong hung up the phone, turned her head helplessly, and looked at her eldest sister who was diligently massaging her shoulders.

"Hehe, Sister Cai is still the best." Liu Shishi chuckled and grabbed her arm.

"That kid is probably toxic." Cai Yinong glanced at her sideways. "You're not allowed to see him again recently. You're going to do some gigs and make some money."

"Huh?" Liu Shishi was stunned. Oh no, had she been forced to sell herself to save her husband?

……

"Director Zhen, you really don't admit it?" Ji Yun asked with a sneer.

"How can you admit to something that didn't happen?" Director Zhen of the Academic Affairs Office continued to play dumb.

How could he possibly admit it? President Wu of Orange Sky promised him that his son would become a star in the entertainment industry, and besides, persuading Ji Yun to quit was just a small favor.

"Then there's no need to talk about it," Ji Yun said firmly.

"Ji, are you all alone at home now?" Director Zhen said meaningfully.

"So what?" Ji Yun frowned.

"We understand that we can handle some of the procedures for you," Director Zhen said calmly. "It doesn't matter whether you sign it or not."

"You dare to forge it?" Ji Yun was shocked.

"Who can prove it?" Director Zhen said confidently, leaning back in his leather chair with a satisfied smile. "There's no room for negotiation on dropping out of school. I said it, and if you can't do it, I'll change my surname to yours."

Ji Yun underestimated these people's bottom line. Sure enough, small people can only be manipulated by others. If he wants to build his career without having to depend on others, he still needs to become a force to be reckoned with.

"Bang!" The door was suddenly opened from the outside.

"Who is it?" Director Zhen asked, displeased that someone dared to interrupt his work.

He looked up and saw that the person who came in was the vice principal in charge of personnel. He jumped up from his chair and greeted him with a respectful smile.

"Principal Lei, if there's anything that requires your personal attention, just give me a call, and I'll be right there." Director Zhen gestured for him to take the seat of honor.

Director Zhen was taken aback when she saw Princess Wang and Gao Yuanyuan following behind Principal Lei, but she still kindly invited them to take a seat.

But they just stood there and ignored him.

Ji Yun looked at the two of them with some curiosity, but saw Gao Yuanyuan give her a reassuring smile, while the princess on the other side looked him up and down with eyes like she was looking at prey, which made him feel uneasy.

Principal Lei glanced around, saw the withdrawal application on the table, and looked seriously at Director Zhen, "What's going on?"

"There are strong calls online for us to severely punish him, so after thinking about it, I am trying to persuade him to drop out of school voluntarily, so as to save face for both of us."

Director Zhen spoke at length about this, feeling that he had made a huge contribution to the school by eliminating a malignant tumor.

He smiled, secretly taking credit for himself.

"Does skipping class really warrant such a severe punishment as expulsion?" Principal Lei narrowed his eyes.

Director Zhen immediately sensed something was off about his tone, his smile gradually fading as he cautiously asked, "You mean...?"

"A school warning is enough for skipping class."

"Can, can it be online?" Director Zhen was anxious. He had already agreed to go out, how could he give up all his efforts?

"If film and television schools are swayed by public opinion, how will they get things done in the future!" Principal Lei said in a deep voice, his expression righteous and awe-inspiring.

"Wait a minute, I don't mean I skipped class. I took a long leave after my father passed away," Ji Yun added at the right moment.

It means: He clearly doesn't even deserve a punishment!

"Is that so?" Principal Lei's face darkened, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light.

"No, absolutely not, I've never received one." Director Zhen quickly shook his head, refusing to budge.

Principal Lei stared at him meaningfully, then suddenly turned to the counselor and said, "You're the counselor for the first-year performing arts department? Go and get all the leave slips for the first-year students."

"This...this..." Director Zhen felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his face turned deathly pale, and he hurriedly tried to stop him.
