I put you in charge of the child, and you raised a monster!

The staff member finished speaking.

The inner passageway was quiet for two seconds.

Yang Mi stopped beside the seat, still holding Shen Ling'er's hand.

The agent was the first to react.

"Cancel?"

"The official list was still in existence before we arrived."

The staff member kept his head down.

"This is a temporary adjustment."

He Chuan frowned.

"What reason?"

The staff member glanced at the camera, then at the organizers standing next to him.

"The review panel found problems with the materials submitted by Ms. Yang Mi."

Yang Mi raised his eyes.

"What's the problem?"

The staff member couldn't answer.

Shen Ling'er looked up at him.

"Uncle, you can't memorize it."

The staff member's face froze.

The live chat exploded.

"The dress was just cut, and now the nomination has been cancelled?"

"If you say there's no problem, I'll eat my phone."

"Is the Chinese entertainment industry holding a shady exhibition today?"

"Shen Ling'er, don't hold back, investigate!"

Shen Ruowei walked over from not far away.

She had already put on the smile that usually graces the inner court.

"Sister Mi, don't be angry."

"Film festivals have their own rules."

"Sometimes the information is not compliant, and there's nothing we can do about it."

Yang Mi looked at her.

"Miss Shen found out very quickly."

Shen Ruowei smiled.

"We're all in the same circle, so we're bound to hear some news."

Shen Ling'er glanced at her.

"Auntie, your ears are faster than your legs today."

Shen Ruowei's smile faltered for a moment.

Several female celebrities nearby were drinking water with their heads down.

No one dared to laugh out loud.

The organizer rushed over.

He was in his forties, his suit was buttoned up tightly, and sweat was already beading on his forehead.

"Teacher Yang, I'm so sorry."

"This is the decision of the review committee."

The agent handed over the phone.

"This is the confirmation letter you sent at 5 PM this afternoon."

Yang Mi, nominated for Best Actress.

The person in charge didn't even look at it closely.

"It was indeed a temporary adjustment."

He Chuan asked, "What about adjusting the documents?"

The person in charge paused.

"Internal document, not convenient to disclose."

Shen Ling'er tilted her head.

"That means there isn't one."

The person in charge's face darkened.

"Little friend, don't interrupt when adults are talking."

Shen Ling'er looked up.

"Why shouldn't I speak up when you're bullying my mother?"

The passageway fell silent again.

Yang Mi gently pressed down on her shoulder.

"Ling'er".

Shen Ling'er didn't make a scene.

She simply glanced at the folder in the person in charge's hand.

"Uncle, you've got it upside down."

The person in charge instinctively lowered their head.

The folder wasn't upside down.

He was just about to breathe a sigh of relief.

Shen Ling'er added, "The third page inside is upside down."

The person in charge tightened their grip.

He Chuan immediately looked over.

A corner of a piece of paper was sticking out from the edge of the folder.

The paper had a seating chart printed on it.

I circled a few names with a red ballpoint pen.

Yang Mi's name was crossed out.

Two words were handwritten next to it.

Retreat.

Shen Ling'er pointed to the paper.

"Is this also inconvenient to disclose?"

The person in charge slammed the folder shut.

"These are work documents."

Shen Ruowei said softly, "Sister Mi, why make things so ugly?"

"You've lost your nomination, but you can try again next time."

"The whole internet is watching today."

Yang Mi did not look at her.

She simply asked the person in charge in a low voice.

"I'll only ask once."

"Whose decision was it to withdraw the nomination?"

The person in charge avoided her gaze.

"The judging panel."

Shen Ling'er suddenly turned around.

She walked towards the podium.

Yang Mi was taken aback.

"Ling'er, where are you going?"

Shen Ling'er didn't turn her head.

"Find a piece of paper that will tell the truth."

He Chuan quickly followed.

The cameraman followed.

A black curtain separates the backstage area from the main area.

Behind the curtain, the host's script, the award ceremony agenda, and the guests' cue cards were all placed on the long table.

The staff tried to stop them.

"You can't take pictures here!"

The plainclothes officer took a step forward.

"If there is a dispute at the scene, preserve the evidence first."

The staff dared not move.

Shen Ling'er tiptoed and glanced at the card on the table.

Then she reached out and pulled out one of the cards.

The staff panicked.

"Those are the host's cue cards!"

Shen Ling'er flipped the card over.

It says:

Best Actress nominees: Shen Ruowei, Lin Qiao, Bai Man, Ye Zhi.

There was no Yang Mi.

However, there was a new piece of paper pasted on the back of the card.

The edges and corners weren't pressed flat.

Shen Ling'er gently scratched with her fingernail.

A thin layer of paper was peeled off.

There were originally five names printed below.

the last one.

Yang Mi.

Everyone backstage was stunned.

He Chuan lowered his voice.

"Has this been covered up?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"The glue isn't dry yet."

She took a sniff.

"It was applied within twenty minutes."

The live chat was flooded with comments.

"Holy crap! They changed the roster at the last minute!"

"This isn't just canceling the nomination, it's completely covering up Yang Mi's involvement!"

"Who did this?!"

Shen Ruowei stood outside the curtain, her expression finally changing.

The person in charge rushed over.

"Don't touch any materials on site!"

Shen Ling'er held up the card.

"Are you afraid of this?"

The person in charge reached out to grab it.

Yang Mi blocked it with one step.

Her voice was not loud.

"Don't touch my daughter."

The person in charge's hand froze in mid-air.

Shen Ling'er looked at another stack of scripts on the table.

She quickly flipped to the awards ceremony section.

Two more portions were drawn.

The first one was a printed version.

The second copy is a photocopy.

Yang Mi was included in the nomination list in the printed version.

In the reprinted version, Yang Mi was deleted.

The footer timestamps differ.

Printed version: 17:02.

Copies: 19:36.

There are less than twenty minutes left before the awards ceremony.

Shen Ling'er placed the two scripts side by side on the table.

"This is called a temporary adjustment."

She then pointed at Shen Ruowei.

"This is called 'temporarily served'."

Shen Ruowei immediately spoke up.

"What do you mean?"

Shen Ling'er looked at her.

"You sat in my mother's seat."

Shen Ruowei sneered.

"The seats were arranged by the organizers."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"An award too?"

Shen Ruowei's face turned pale.

That's too blunt.

So much so that even the host's backstage area was too deserted to accept the invitation.

The person in charge immediately said, "Little friend, you can't just say things like that."

Shen Ling'er ignored him.

She walked over to a printer next to her.

There was a piece of scrap paper that hadn't been taken away next to the printer.

Half a sheet.

There is only one line of text above.

"After confirmation by Shen Ruowei's team, the final list has been updated."

He Chuan took a breath when he saw this line of text.

The person in charge's expression changed completely.

He reached out to crumple the waste paper.

The plainclothes officer picked it up first.

"We'll take this with us."

The person in charge broke out in a cold sweat.

"This is a misunderstanding."

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"You just said it was the judging panel."

The person in charge opened his mouth.

He didn't say a word.

Shen Ling'er pointed at the waste paper.

"Now the paper says it's her team."

She looked up at Shen Ruowei.

"Auntie, is your team bigger than the judging panel?"

Someone in the passage couldn't resist.

He chuckled.

Shen Ruowei's expression finally crumbled.

"I have no idea."

"These were all communicated by the staff."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"The assistant did all the bad things."

"You are clean."

Shen Ruowei breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Ling'er added a sentence.

"As clean as a fake bracelet that's just been polished."

Shen Ruowei's face darkened instantly.

The trending topic about Sheng Wanqing's fake bracelet hasn't completely died down yet.

That stab was very precise.

Zhao Lei slapped his thigh while watching the video in split-screen mode.

"She's so good!"

Bai Sisi reminded him, "You're checking tickets at the children's playground now."

Zhao Lei lowered his head.

The child in front of me is holding up a ticket.

"Uncle, may I go in?"

Zhao Lei remained silent for two seconds.

"Yes, you're cleaner than the Chinese entertainment industry."

The comments section was filled with laughter.

Backstage.

Yang Mi picked up the old card and looked at it for a long time.

She neither cried nor made a fuss.

She just asked the person in charge.

Why?

The person in charge wiped away sweat.

"Teacher Yang, there is a communication error here."

Yang Mi looked up.

"Will a communication misunderstanding ruin my dress?"

The person in charge froze.

Yang Mi continued.

"Will a communication error result in my seat being changed?"

"Will they cover up my name?"

"Will I be notified of my nomination being cancelled twenty minutes before the awards ceremony?"

No one spoke up in the background.

Shen Ling'er tugged at Yang Mi's hand.

"daughter."

Yang Mi lowered his head.

Shen Ling'er said, "My father said that when others want you to step back, you should step forward."

Yang Mi was stunned.

Shen Ling'er handed her the old card.

"Mother, you stand in front."

Yang Mi gripped the card.

A few seconds later, she turned to look at the camera.

"I accept the review results."

"But I do not accept anyone changing the results for the reviewers."

He Chuan immediately responded.

"The production team has recorded the entire process and provided the evidence to the film festival organizing committee and relevant regulatory authorities."

The person in charge panicked.

"Teacher He, please don't do this, the ceremony is about to begin."

He Chuan looked at him.

"That's why it's even more important to make things clear now."

At that moment, music came from the main stage outside.

The big screen has started playing the Best Actress nominee short film.

The first one is Shen Ruowei.

Second place, Lin Qiao.

Third, Bai Man.

Fourth place: Ye Zhi.

The audience applauded.

The host's voice came through.

"Next, we will announce the Best Actress of this year's Golden Deer Film Festival."

Everyone backstage changed their expressions.

Shen Ruowei suddenly smiled.

It's very light.

She looked at Yang Mi.

"It's too late."

"So what if you have evidence?"

"The ceremony livestream has begun."

No one will stop for you.

Yang Mi did not speak.

Shen Ling'er looked towards the stage.

"Who said we should stop?"

She walked to the control panel and pointed to the control screen.

There is a spare short video file in the bottom right corner of the screen.

file name:

A clip of Yang Mi being nominated.

Shen Ling'er asked the director.

"Uncle, can we broadcast this?"

The director was covered in sweat.

"Theoretically, yes."

The person in charge yelled, "You can't broadcast it!"

Shen Ling'er turned around.

"Didn't you say she wasn't nominated?"

"Then what are you afraid of?"

The person in charge got stuck.

Just then, an elderly man with white hair walked in through the VIP entrance.

He was accompanied by two members of the organizing committee.

When the person in charge saw him, his legs almost went weak.

"Chairman Qin..."

The old man didn't look at him.

He walked directly up to Yang Mi.

"Ms. Yang, I'm sorry."

"The organizing committee just received evidence of the live broadcast."

"Your nomination was never revoked."

Shen Ruowei's smile froze completely.

Chairman Qin turned to look at the director.

"Restore the original process."

The person in charge panicked.

"Chairman, the envelope has been presented on stage!"

Chairman Qin's face darkened.

"Who sent it?"

The staff member said in a trembling voice, "Shen Ruowei's team just handed it to the etiquette team, saying it was the final confirmed version."

The backstage area went completely silent.

Shen Ling'er narrowed her eyes.

She looked towards the stage.

On stage, the award presenter had already opened the gold envelope.

The lights went out.

The entire audience held their breath.

Shen Ling'er suddenly looked up.

"daughter."

Yang Mi lowered his head.

Shen Ling'er's voice was very soft.

"The envelopes have also been changed."
