Status in Jeopardy, Evil Thoughts Resurface

Zhao Bin was feeding lines to Grandma Miao.

He delivered that classic line, "This question is too hard; I don't know how to do it."

Chi Qingshui stood behind the camera, watching Grandma Miao's facial reaction with sheer amazement in her heart.

When she first saw Grandma Miao's mental state, Chi Qingshui had been worried that even a simple line might require several takes.

As the part with the best comedic potential in the film, if this scene turned out awkward or broke the immersion, it would definitely affect the quality of everything that followed.

Who would have thought?

Grandma Miao acted so well!

In some ragtag film crews, you occasionally find one or two supporting actors with incredible texture.

These supporting actors might only have one or two lines.

Or even no lines at all.

Yet, through their solid vocal delivery and physical performance, they can elevate the style of the entire film.

Grandma Miao's performance undoubtedly achieved exactly that!

"Cut!"

"That was perfect!"

Chi Qingshui shouted, and the set immediately returned to its bustling state.

Miao Haixin ran up to her grandmother just in time, placing her hands on the old lady's shoulders and praising her repeatedly:

"Way to go, Grandma! You were amazing!"

"The director said you got it in one take!"

Lin Yu raised his hands high and clapped, calling out to everyone on set:

"Congratulations to our teacher on wrapping up!"

"Let's give her some applause!"

The young students on set cooperated exceptionally well, bursting into applause.

For an elderly person of her age to be willing to participate in a student assignment was, in itself, a huge support to young people.

And young people are never stingy with their applause and praise.

"Congratulations, Teacher!"

"Your performance was perfect!"

"Happy wrap!"

"..."

The scene instantly turned into a sea of joy.

However, Shi Yanhai's little trio couldn't find it in themselves to be happy.

Shi Yanhai asked in surprise:

"I heard before that the counselor had a grandmother. Is this the counselor's grandmother?"

Gao Yumin shook his head and clapped his hands, saying helplessly:

"Our great Class Monitor, you shouldn't just be worried about your love life."

"You should also be careful about your position in the class."

"Didn't you bring us here to make up the numbers just to curry favor with the counselor?"

"Well, the favor has been curried alright..."

"But it was Big Eagle Yu who got the credit!"

"Why didn't you think of asking the counselor and her grandmother to play a role?"

"Just look at him!"

Gao Yumin's words were filled with the jealousy typical of that age group.

Gou Feng chimed in as well:

"Brother Hai, Big Gao actually makes a good point!"

"Look how happy the counselor is; she's overjoyed!"

"Who knows, once the new semester starts, your power in the class might just get hollowed out!"

Shi Yanhai remained silent, his gaze toward Lin Yu growing increasingly hostile.

In the pursuit of Chi Qingshui, Shi Yanhai had already thoroughly lost to Lin Yu.

Was he going to suffer a crushing defeat in front of the counselor as well?

He had served as Class Monitor for two years; how much had he done for the class?

Yet he had never seen the counselor smile at him like that!

He had already lost in "love"; was he going to lose his "career" too?

No!

This absolutely could not happen!

[Ding!]

[Crisis Warning: The Fire Sea Demon Group has risen from the ashes. Holy Son, please be vigilant against the demon's malice!]

In the crowd, Lin Yu thought: "???"

What the hell?

It's starting again?

Is it never going to end?

Is Shi Yanhai that hard to kill?

Is he coming for Big Chi again this time?

Wasn't the heartbreak last time enough?

Lin Yu's attention was entirely focused on the shooting site.

He didn't hear the trio's murmuring, so naturally, he didn't know what they were plotting.

After the cheers died down, Grandma Miao put her palms together and smiled at everyone:

"Thank you, everyone. Thank you, Director Little Zhang, for the opportunity."

"You've all worked hard!"

After speaking, Grandma Miao bowed deeply to the crowd.

How could a group of youngsters accept such a grand gesture?

Not daring to be negligent, the crowd bowed back in return.

The scene looked rather comical at that moment.

Miao Haixin was deeply touched, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Alright, Grandma, let's stand aside and watch the students perform."

"Let's not delay the crew's shooting schedule. Come with me!"

Miao Haixin led her grandmother to the side, handing the scene back to the students.

According to today's shooting requirements, there were still several outdoor scenes to film.

They couldn't hold up everyone's progress just to satisfy the old lady's acting itch.

Shi Yanhai saw his chance. The moment Miao Haixin stepped down, he immediately rushed over.

This was no time to worry about dignity.

It was a critical moment of life and death!

He absolutely could not be careless, and he certainly couldn't lose to Lin Yu!

"Grandma, hello. I am your granddaughter's student. My name is Shi Yanhai."

"It's so wonderful that you could come to help today; it's truly our blessing!"

Gao Yumin: "???"

Gou Feng: "???"

Shi Yanhai's sudden action left both of them stunned.

Gao Yumin had just been venting because he couldn't stand Lin Yu. He was just talking casually.

Who would have thought?

Shi Yanhai actually took it to heart!

Is the position of Class Monitor that important to a power-hungry person?

The way Shi Yanhai looked right now, how should one describe it...

Gao Yumin and Gou Feng looked at each other.

In each other's eyes, they saw the same emotion:

Contempt!!

This was too sycophantic, wasn't it?

Where was his manly dignity?

It was Lin Yu's group filming their assignment; did he really need to go over there thanking this person and that person?

Anyone with eyes could see it at a glance.

Shi Yanhai was putting on a show for the counselor!

Gou Feng shook his head helplessly and said:

"Big Gao, did we... maybe provoke Brother Hai a bit too much?"

Gao Yumin stood there, jaw dropped, stunned.

It took him a long time to react before he said:

"We were just joking, just saying stuff casually, right?"

"Who knew... the Class Monitor would take it seriously!"

"This is the first time I've seen a Class Monitor like this. It seems the threat from Big Eagle Yu has really hit home."

This time, Lin Yu actually heard Shi Yanhai's deliberately loud speech.

The volume was not low.

Not only did he hear it, but even Chi Qingshui heard it!

Chi Qingshui looked at Shi Yanhai in astonishment, completely unable to understand what he was doing.

Her first reaction was to look at Lin Yu.

She tried her best to tell Lin Yu with her eyes that she didn't know what was happening either.

Although Lin Yu didn't hear the entire context, he could roughly guess the reason for Shi Yanhai's actions.

Such behavior would definitely make Big Chi look down on him.

So, obviously.

Shi Yanhai's behavior wasn't meant to leave a good impression on Big Chi.

Who else on set was worth him trying this hard for?

The answer could only be the counselor!

Tsk tsk tsk.

So, the great Class Monitor was afraid of losing his status?

What a pity.

You have to consider the recipient when kissing up.

The person he was flattering might not necessarily be able to understand what he was saying!
