Chapter 229: Chapter 152: Plastic Paper Cannot Be a Material for Talisman Making

"Xiangxiang... sigh..." Hua Yingying’s voice was heavy with emotion. "I’m at my wit’s end with you. Let’s just have a clean break."

Upon receiving the unilateral contract termination notice from Hua Yingying and seeing the "Accept" or "Decline" options pop up, Lin Zhenxiang felt a rage so intense it threatened to burn her up from the inside.

’Has that old woman Hua Yingying forgotten how she groveled and begged to sign me?!’

Suppressing her monstrous resentment, Lin Zhenxiang initiated a video call with Hua Yingying.

On camera, she looked like a fragile work of art—exquisite and vulnerable.

"Sister Ying..." Lin Zhenxiang’s eyes were red with tears, her choked voice thick with disbelief. "We’ve worked together for so long, supporting each other every step of the way. We’ve struggled so hard to get here... and you’re just going to give up on me now?"

’I refuse to be the pathetic one who gets abandoned!’

’If anyone is going to terminate this contract, it’s going to be me!’

Hua Yingying’s heart softened slightly, and she spoke in a tone that was both nostalgic and tinged with frustration at Lin Zhenxiang’s self-destructive behavior.

"Xiangxiang, you weren’t always like this. Before you got famous, you valued this team. After you hit it big, you became too headstrong.

You do whatever you want without even giving us a heads-up. You only remember we exist when you need us to solve your latest PR crisis.

You’re right that we used to support each other. But now, I feel like you don’t see this team as your equal at all.

You’ve climbed so high. Maybe you can handle the consequences of the trouble you stir up, but we’re just small-timers. We can’t.

And I’m telling you, you don’t have the stature of someone like Mrs. Bao, so stop trying to get involved in the conflict between the Empress and the Austin family."

The light in Lin Zhenxiang’s tear-filled eyes dimmed, her expression turning sullen.

She muttered, venting her frustration, "What does this have to do with Mrs. Bao!"

Seeing how clueless she was, Hua Yingying shook her head in disappointment.

Still, she patiently explained a little further.

"Take the matter with Song Xiaoxing, for instance. The other special admission student in his group nearly died, but even he wasn’t in as much of a hurry as Song Xiaoxing was after the Poisonous Tree Seeds incident. Song Xiaoxing, on the other hand, immediately thought to warn the other special admission students that the seeds were poisonous.

Do you think he’s some kind of saint with a heart of gold? His last name is Song, and the dean of the Imperial University Agricultural College is also named Song. Do you really think that’s a coincidence? If he were just some ordinary special admission student at the Agricultural College, do you think he could have gotten his hands on the list of all the other special students so easily?"

Hua Yingying’s rapid-fire questions left Lin Zhenxiang completely stunned.

As the realization slowly dawned on her, a look of panic spread across Lin Zhenxiang’s face.

Hua Yingying continued her lecture, her sincere voice laced with helplessness. "You certainly put on a good show in your livestream just now. Your fans have already started attacking Song Xiaoxing.

Lin Zhenxiang, I remember you saying your second choice major was at the Imperial University Agricultural College. If you get in, I truly hope you can get along with Dean Song’s son, Song Xiaoxing."

’That Song Xiaoxing is actually Dean Song’s son?!’

That was a possibility Lin Zhenxiang had never even considered!

In her panic, she couldn’t help but voice her wishful thinking. "I heard Dean Song is famously impartial. If his own son got into the Agricultural College, it would cause a ton of controversy. There’s no way he’d let his son enroll!"

Seeing that she still didn’t get it, Hua Yingying gave a helpless little laugh.

"Song Xiaoxing just solved a massive crisis for the Imperial University Agricultural College. Regardless of his relationship with Dean Song, his admission to the college is now a foregone conclusion. The impact of this incident is beyond what even Dean Song can control by himself.

In fact, Dean Song is facing serious accusations of negligence and dereliction of duty for unknowingly assigning highly poisonous seeds as a special admissions test. But his son just solved that whole problem for him. He should be thanking his son, not turning him away from the Agricultural College!"

An array of emotions flickered across Lin Zhenxiang’s face.

She bit her lip in regret. "Sister Ying, please, just help me calm down my fans for now. If I can handle this on my own, please reconsider working with me!"

With that, she irritably ended the holographic call.

The Imperial University Agricultural College only had so many admission slots each year. She had been depressed for a long time after failing to qualify for special admission. Back then, feeling her chances were slim, she had listed the Agricultural College as her second choice, clinging to a sliver of hope.

But now, she knew that Song Xiaoxing, a person she had just tangled with, was the son of Dean Song from the Imperial University Agricultural College!

If she could just cultivate a good relationship with Song Xiaoxing, it wasn’t impossible that she could get into the Agricultural College through him!
