Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Chapter 1194 Who to Replace?

Assistant Feng looked at Han Qi, "President Han, who would you like to replace?"

Han Qi immediately raised his chin, his face clearly displaying the words "brand ambassador".

However, President Han did not do as Han Qi expected. "Well, Tianhai University is a science-focused university. I remember that it won a science and technology invention award some time ago."

"Uncle!" Han Qi exclaimed in disbelief, as he hadn't said that just now.

Assistant Feng raised an eyebrow, her frustration largely dissipating. She said, "Okay, I'll have the teachers at Tianhai University submit a list of outstanding students immediately. Mr. Han, I remember Han Zhi has excellent grades and even received a national scholarship before. How about we let Han Zhi give it a try too?"

"He is both your son and a student at Tianhai University."

Mr. Han smirked, “Then you’ll have to ask him. That kid’s grown up, and he doesn’t like to listen to his father anymore.”

Assistant Feng rolled her eyes inwardly, though she was secretly overjoyed. However, as a professional assistant, she naturally wouldn't expose her boss's thoughts. "Okay, but Young Master Han Zhi will definitely agree."

Assistant Feng confirmed the selection criteria again before leaving, without giving Han Qi a chance to speak.

"Uncle, you just promised me!" Han Qi's eyes reddened with anger.

President Han looked at her speechlessly, "Did I promise you anything?"

"You, just now you clearly..." Han Qi tried hard to recall, but couldn't remember a single word.

"Alright, school's out for break, let's hurry up and go on a trip before the New Year," President Han waved his hand.

Han Qi was able to leave indignation.

……

When Mu Zhaoxue received the call from her counselor, she was angry and wanted to question her about why!
But I have to admit that I can't refute those reasons.

Who told her to actually do it? She almost got stuck in the mud and died. She should be grateful for the life she has now.

She shouldn't demand so much.

As long as I have a job and can support myself and my parents, that's good enough...

Shi Jia, who was reading a book, noticed that the mental sea next door suddenly became turbulent. He frowned, disappeared from his spot, and appeared in Mu Zhaoxue's mental sea the next second.

The ball of light in the center of the spiritual sea flickered, and the ball of light that had finally become clear was tinged with gray at some point.

"Mu Zhaoxue!" Shi Jia shouted.

The flickering ball of light instantly became clear again, and the little figure inside looked at her with red eyes.

Shi Jia shook her head, reached out and touched the ball of light. The next second, her figure disappeared from the spot, and the little figure in the ball of light also fell into a deep sleep.

Mu Zhaoxue stared blankly at the familiar Memory Library for a moment, then looked at Shi Jia expectantly, "Sister Shi, am I really useless?"

"How could you have such an idea?" Shi Jia shook her head.

“But…” Mu Zhaoxue gritted her teeth, “It was clearly me who did it. Negotiating the cooperation, writing the script, designing the scenes… it was all me.”

Shi Jia didn't speak, just watched her vent until she cried herself out before she spoke.

Do you know why you were replaced?

"because I……"

“No, it’s because you’re not strong enough,” Shi Jia said. “Although you are already outstanding among your peers, in the eyes of others, you are still a student, someone insignificant. Once their interests are involved, or their reputation is affected, you will be abandoned.”

Mu Zhaoxue buried her head between her legs, feeling utterly helpless.

"But so what? You're still young, and you've achieved so much in such a short time. Most importantly, you still have me," Shi Jia said. "So what are you afraid of?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhaoxue's eyes lit up. "Mm."

"Sweetie! Take this as a lesson, reflect on it, and figure out how to handle similar situations in the future." Shi Jia patted her shoulder and sat back down in her chair. Whew~ I've used up some energy again.

The fact that Mu Zhaoxue comes to the Memory Library to study every day is actually maintained by consuming her spiritual power. Her energy is already stretched thin, and waking Mu Zhaoxue just now consumed some of it. The energy absorbed today won't be enough to make up for the deficit.

Seriously, these people who go back on their word deserve to be dragged out and beaten!
Shi Jia gritted her teeth, thinking, "Just you wait, once I've gathered enough power, none of them will get away with it!"

She grumbled as she took out a Source Crystal and began absorbing it. Source essence flowed into her soul from the crystal, and her slightly weary soul comfortably relaxed. Soon, a wave of post-satisfaction drowsiness swept over her. "Hmm, nothing much, I'll take a nap."

Suddenly, she said, "Sister Shi, I've figured it out."

"Huh?" Shi Jia opened her eyes, confused. "What do you want to understand?"

"So, what should I do if I encounter something like this again?" Mu Zhaoxue took a deep breath, her expression becoming firm.

"Oh, so what do you think we should do?"

“Sister Shi, you’re right. As long as I’m not strong enough, this kind of thing is unavoidable. No, even if I become stronger, I still can’t avoid it,” Mu Zhaoxue said. “After all, some collaborations can be sabotaged in the end!”

"Mmm." Shi Jia looked at her with great interest.

“Since it’s unavoidable, we can agree on the consequences of backing out at the beginning, which is the contract!” Mu Zhaoxue said clearly.

"Signing a contract can protect the rights and interests of both parties and reduce losses," Mu Zhaoxue analyzed seriously.

Shi Jia looked at Mu Zhaoxue as if she were a rare sight. When did this little girl secretly grow up behind her back?

"Aren't you angry?"

Mu Zhaoxue shook her head. "Anger is only temporary. But I did nothing wrong. I am the victim, and getting angry would only make things worse. Instead of getting angry, I should try to minimize the losses."

Shi Jia's expression was complicated. "Zhao Xue, you've grown up!"

Mu Zhaoxue's face immediately flushed slightly. "Sister Shi, no, it's just that my mind was very clear just now, and I suddenly felt a little sorry for myself."

"I can be brought back from the dead, and I have Sister Shi's help, so why should I wallow in anger? If I've been tricked, then I'll find a way to trick her back; if I've been looked down upon, then I'll strive to stand at the top!"

Mu Zhaoxue's tone wasn't enthusiastic, but Shi Jia saw it as if she were seeing a rising star.

"Alright, go back and take care of this matter, then go home for the New Year." Shi Jia waved his hand, and Mu Zhaoxue's figure disappeared.

Looking at the deep blue stars above her spiritual sea, she felt a pang of melancholy. "Sigh, I'm growing up too fast."

When Mu Zhaoxue woke up, she was startled to find that it was already dark. She quickly opened her phone and sent messages to Assistant Feng and Teacher Li.

She should fight for what she deserves.

"Sister Feng, I'm sorry to call you so late," Mu Zhaoxue said calmly.

"Um, Sister Mu, you know about the replacement?" Assistant Feng paused for a moment. "I'm sorry, this is President Han's decision. I tried to advocate for you."

“Yes, I know, thank you, Sister Feng,” Mu Zhaoxue said. “But I was the one who spearheaded this recruitment video project; I designed the script and the scenes.”

Assistant Feng felt a headache coming on and didn't know how to start, "Little Sister Mu..."

“I’m not trying to make things difficult for Sister Feng,” Mu Zhaoxue said directly. “I just want to fight for the compensation I deserve.”

"Ah? The payment?" Assistant Feng breathed a sigh of relief. However, she didn't agree immediately, after all, she remembered that the recruitment video was produced by Tianhai University.

Strictly speaking, it has little to do with Wanhe Machinery.

"Little Mu, you know this is a recruitment video..."

Mu Zhaoxue listened quietly to her finish speaking, and said, "How could it be unrelated to Wanhe? The short film was mainly shot in Wanhe, and the lead actor in the short film was decided by the CEO of Wanhe."

"Sister Feng should know that I wrote the script for the short film, and I can completely revoke the authorization to use it."

That's your school's recruitment video.
