Qin Wanwan was still anxious to know the results, so she urged someone to ask how the production team was doing and if they were considering replacing Qin Wanwan.
Unexpectedly, the production team told Sis Lin, "We're still going to wait and see. We're not going to replace her for now."
They were very tactful, but they could tell that the production team wasn't going to replace her.
Sis Lin said in shock, "You're not even going to replace her? Lin Che is as stinky as a fly in the latrine!"
"Aren't we still considering? It's not like you guys don't have a chance."
"Forget it, don't try to trick me. I advise you guys to think it through. Our Wanwan is heading for the A-list now. Even if you want to replace her in the future, you might not be able to get her back."
"Alright, since you put it that way, we don't see eye to eye anymore." The other party hung up.
Sis Lin said angrily, "This Lin Che, is he up to no good in the dark?"
Qin Wanwan was also very depressed. "They won't use Lin Che. How could they use Lin Che? Lin Che is so shady now."
"Then they might have other ideas and want to use another actor?"

When the production team heard Qin Wanwan's threat, they merely snorted.
"Qin Wanwan is still threatening us over the phone."
"They must be wondering why we still dare to use Lin Che."
"Seriously, they said their Wanwan is heading for the A-list. That's right, she's heading for the A-list, but Lin Che actually knows the Situ family. Situ Qiong is even willing to redeem his freedom … looks like their relationship isn't ordinary."
"That's right. How can Orange Light Group compare to the Situ family?"
They snorted disdainfully at Qin Wanwan's behavior and were waiting for the day she regretted it.

At that moment, Lin Che didn't expect Situ Qiong to actually help Lin Che at a time like this.
Lin Che thought about it and hurriedly called Situ Qiong.
Situ Qiong said, "What is it, disciple?"
Lin Che said, "You called the production team and said you would help me redeem my freedom?"
"There's no way I'd let anything happen to my disciple."
"Alright …"
"Besides, it's not that you can't afford it. You're just worried that after you redeem yourself, you won't be able to explain where you got the money from. Originally, others were already suspecting that you have a financial backer. If you pay so much money to redeem yourself, wouldn't that prove their suspicions? That's why you're being so cautious and didn't directly say that you have the money to redeem yourself."
Yu Minmin had indeed said what Situ Qiong had said.
Since she didn't want Gu Jingze to be exposed, it was hard to say where the money came from.
"I'm doing this to help you protect this TV series and prevent it from being snatched away by Qin Wanwan for now."
"Okay, but I'm still very grateful to you."
"Besides, it's only a few million. I can still give it to you, my disciple."
"…"
Alright, the Situ Clan had a huge business, and a few million was nothing to them.
However, the people from Smart Movies thought that Lin Che couldn't afford it.
Although Lin Che was popular, he hadn't been popular for long, so he shouldn't have saved that much money. She lived a luxurious life and didn't look like someone who knew how to save money. Little did they know that she lived a luxurious life because she had someone backing her. To this person, her luxurious life was nothing.

The lawsuit started very quickly.
In court, Smart Movies was certain that Lin Che didn't have the money to redeem herself, so they said, "We're reasonable people. Give us the liquidated damages and we'll naturally terminate the contract."
Yu Minmin asked his lawyer to appear in court. Before the verdict was announced, Yu Minmin looked at Chen Jingde from behind.
Chen Jingde said, "Minmin, it's not too late to regret it now."
Yu Minmin said, "How do you spell the word 'regret'?"
Chen Jingde harrumphed. "Min Min, I know Lin Che can't afford it and you don't have the guts to pay for it either. If you investigate where the money came from, you won't be able to explain it. Although you're the President's wife, you people who play politics are more sensitive, so if you admit defeat now and apologize to Wanwan, everything will be fine."
"Forget it. I don't have that intention."
Yu Minmin turned and left after saying that.
"Don't … don't regret it."
The court quickly announced that Lin Che's studio would terminate the contract and had to pay the other party seven million.
Seven million. For many people, this was an astronomical figure.
Because Lin Che's lawyer didn't bet too much on it, Ling Dong felt that they had won in court with this amount of money.
The people from Smart Movies were very happy and immediately held a press conference. In the press conference, they said, "We didn't want things to turn out this way. As long as Lin Che apologizes to Wanwan and the company, we'll still welcome him back. Otherwise, according to the court's verdict, he'll pay us seven million and we'll release him immediately."
However, at that moment, someone immediately released a statement.
Lin Che paid the penalty to the court immediately and was waiting for the court's verdict to go into effect. After paying the penalty to Smart Movies, Lin Che and her team would officially leave Smart Movies.
Smart Movies was dumbfounded.
Lin Che paid seven million for the penalty?
However, in the next moment, Lin Che's agency released another message, saying that they had already applied to the court for the second time. They wanted Ling Dong Movies to apologize and compensate her for the damage they had done to her reputation by slandering and distorting her.
Smart Movies was so angry that they immediately posted on Weibo asking where Lin Che got the money from.
They directly asked where Lin Che got the money from and whether it came from an unknown source because Smart Movies didn't think Lin Che earned seven million in a year.
However, Yu Minmin was already prepared. She found Situ Qiong and registered a new independent studio in advance and established a company under the Situ family's name.
Yu Minmin didn't say anything and used the studio's account to post the company's full name.
It clearly stated that the investor was Situ Qiong.
In other words, Situ Qiong invested in a company for Lin Che.
At that moment, Smart Movies suddenly remembered that they had seen Situ Qiong waiting for Lin Che at the company.
It turned out that Lin Che and Situ Qiong had been in an ambiguous relationship for a long time and had relied on this big backer.
Before Smart Movies could say anything, Lin Che's studio had already released a statement explaining the whole thing.
"Lin Che took a month off from the company to train herself. She learned fencing from Situ Qiong for a month and became her fencing disciple. The two of them hit it off right from the start and called each other master and disciple. They have a deep relationship. Therefore, this time, Situ Qiong is willing to invest in Lin Che to help her disciple's acting career reach a higher level."
When the production team saw that Situ Qiong had indeed redeemed her, they took the opportunity to announce the cast list and confirmed that Lin Che would be the female lead in the TV series.
