She was up against Zhou Xiao in the acting competition, a second-tier actress notorious for her poor skills.
The performances of the two were as disastrous as a car crash scene, and all the judges, including Gu Li, unanimously scored Zhou Xiao 5 points.
As for Qiu Yuxin, everyone else gave her 6 points, but Gu Li only gave her 3 points.
The total score was 25:27, with Qiu Yuxin narrowly winning.
Unhappy with the results, Qiu Yuxin gripped her hands and demanded, “Teacher Gu, could you please explain why Zhou Xiao, whose performance was worse than mine, got a 5, while I only got a 3?”
At the moment her words fell, all eyes were on Gu Li.
Cheng Ying was absolutely thrilled to see Gu Li under attack.
When this is aired, Gu Li would definitely be ridiculed across the internet. After all, Qiu Yuxin’s fans are notoriously vicious in the fandom.
With Qiu Yuxin’ll pressing her, Gu Li casually asked, “Were you satisfied with the performance just now?”

Qiu Yuxin hesitated.
She knew very well about her acting skills. No matter how she answered this question, it wouldn’t be appropriate.
How dare this bastard Gu Li set a trap for her?
“It seems like you’re not satisfied.”
Gu Li spoke up with a small smile, “You’ve always held a high standard for yourself. You once said in an interview that if you weren’t satisfied with your performance, the highest you’d score yourself is a 3 points. The role you picked this time happens to be one you’ve played before, so shouldn’t you treat it with a higher standard? Of course, if you think that’s unnecessary, then I apologize and will change your score.”
“You—”
Qiu Yuxin was so choked up she couldn’t utter a word, a surge of anger lodged in her chest.
Mo Group.
Lu Yang knocked on the door of the CEO’s office and walked in quietly.
He placed a file on the large desk and cautiously reported, “Young Master, these are the self-criticism papers and rectification plans from the heads of the marketing, sales, and R&D departments. Please review them.”
Just now at the meeting, his Master had fiercely criticized several high-ranking executives who made mistakes.
Those people were afraid to show up after getting scolded and handed over the task to him instead.
Lu Yang had worked with Mo Shiting for over a decade, and in his memory, his young master was usually restrained and hardly ever lost control of his emotions. Yet today, he did.
Is this related to the Young Madam, perhaps?
Thinking of this, Lu Yang adjusted his glasses and cautiously asked, “Young Master, an employee sent me a video about Young Madam. Would you like to watch it?”
Mo Shiting was completely focused on the computer screen, typing away on the keyboard, and completely ignored him.
Upon seeing this, Lu Yang continued, “It’s a clip of Young Madam’s acting. It’s really spectacular.”
Mo Shiting’s typing paused momentarily. He lifted his gaze, his eyes cold and stern. “Are you idle?”
Lu Yang said bravely, “I’m not idle, but it’s also my duty to care for Young Master.”
“Get out!”
Mo Shiting said coldly.
“…Yes.”
Lu Yang had no choice but to leave, but before leaving, he dutifully reminded, “The video has been sent to your cell phone.”
Without waiting for Mo Shiting’s response, he scurried out faster than a rabbit.
The door shut, and the vast office instantly fell into silence, disparate and cold.
Mo Shiting closed the laptop, massaged his throbbing temples with his hand.
The screen of the cell phone lying beside him flashed, catching his attention.
Remembering the video that Lu Yang mentioned earlier, Mo Shiting pursed his lips, finally reached out and picked up the cell phone.
He hit play, and within moments, the girl’s vivid and expressive face appeared on the screen.
Mo Shiting’s heart skipped a beat.
Realizing that his emotions were again under her control, he knitted his brows in annoyance.
Just as he was about to stop the video, her expressive eyes instantly changed. Her layered performance and powerful emotional resonance immediately put a halt to his thoughts…
The recording finished late at night.
Back in her little cabin, Gu Li flopped onto the couch, not wanting to move at all.
She was worried sick about the impending divorce with Mo Shiting the next morning.
About an hour passed, and Da Ha called, “Boss, have you checked Weibo? You’re getting bashed again.”
“Huh? People are bashing me?”
Gu Li was dumbfounded. She opened Weibo and saw that her name was trending again..
