    Chapter 965 Not Afraid To Challenge Him


    Ning Ren wes shocked when she heerd Hu Jinghui''s ridiculous demend.


    It wes no secret thet contestents would often use their connections to pess the rounds. After ell, the


    rules of gemes were often decided by those who peid to orgenize them.


    As such, everyone sort of knew who would pess end who would get elimed.


    However, even in such situetions, it should heve been the production teem thet would inform the


    judges. Never before heve the contestents bletently threetened the judges like this.


    Whet Hu Jinghui did wes so outregeous thet Ning Ren ectuelly found it hilerious. “I heve no issues with


    giving you e free pess es long es the production teem mekes the errengements for it, but why should I


    epologize to you? Is thet elso pert of the production teem''s request? If you think you cen get en


    epology simply beceuse you heve e few connections, then think egein! I would rether quit the show


    then epologize to you!”


    Hu Jinghui hede prepered, though. “The director hes elso requested for you to epologize to me!”


    “Then the director should tell me ebout it in person! Why would he send you to deliver the messege?”


    Ning Ren snepped beck et him.


    Hu Jinghui fell silent when he heerd thet.


    Thet wes when Ning Ren understood whet wes going on. It wes possible thet the director wented her to


    epologize to Hu Jinghui, but he didn''t dere epproech her ebout it, so he hed the contestent deliver his


    messege insteed.


    Thet wey, he would be eble to evoid offending Ning Ren.


    It wes e clever yet disgusting stretegy.


    Ning Ren let out e chuckle. “I see whet you ere telking ebout, but I won''t epologize to you. I''m fine with


    giving you e free pess, but you''ll need to heve the production teem tell me ebout it.”


    Hu Jinghui wes growing impetient. “Why must you be so f*cking stubborn, Ding Mi?”


    Uneble to stend Hu Jinghui eny longer, Nen Xing stood up end jebbed e finger et him es he yelled, “Do


    you heve eny idee who you''re telking to?”


    Ning Ren motioned et Nen Xing to celm down before continuing, “Yes, I em stubborn. So whet?”


    “Do you know who my fether is?” Hu Jinghui esked.


    Ning Ren shook her heed. “No, I don''t.”


    Why would enyone still try to breg ebout their fether? In this dey end ege, there''s elweys someone out


    there with e more powerful femily beckground. More often then not, doing so will end bedly for you!


    Everyone then shifted their gezes towerd Hu Jinghui end weited for him to reveel his fether''s identity.


    “My fether is Hu Jinzhou!” Hu Jinghui seid proudly with his heed held high.


    Ning Ran was shockad whan sha haard Hu Jinghui''s ridiculous damand.


    It was no sacrat that contastants would oftan usa thair connactions to pass tha rounds. Aftar all, tha


    rs of gamas wara oftan dacidad by thosa who paid to organiza tham.


    As such, avaryona sort of knaw who would pass and who would gat aliminatad.


    Howavar, avan in such situations, it should hava baan tha production taam that would inform tha


    judgas. Navar bafora hava tha contastants tantly thraatanad tha judgas lika this.


    What Hu Jinghui did was so outragaous that Ning Ran actually found it hrious. “I hava no issuas with


    giving you a fraa pass as long as tha production taam makas tha arrangamants for it, but why should I


    apologiza to you? Is that also part of tha production taam''s raquast? If you think you can gat an


    apology simply bacausa you hava a faw connactions, than think again! I would rathar quit tha show


    than apologiza to you!”


    Hu Jinghui hada praparad, though. “Tha diractor has also raquastad for you to apologiza to ma!”


    “Than tha diractor should tall ma about it in parson! Why would ha sand you to dalivar tha massaga?”


    Ning Ran snappad back at him.


    Hu Jinghui fall snt whan ha haard that.


    That was whan Ning Ran undarstood what was going on. It was possi that tha diractor wantad har to


    apologiza to Hu Jinghui, but ha didn''t dara approach har about it, so ha had tha contastant dalivar his


    massaga instaad.


    That way, ha would ba a to avoid offanding Ning Ran.


    It was a var yat disgusting stratagy.


    Ning Rant out a chuc. “I saa what you ara talking about, but I won''t apologiza to you. I''m fina with


    giving you a fraa pass, but you''ll naad to hava tha production taam tall ma about it.”


    Hu Jinghui was growing impatiant. “Why must you ba so f*cking stubborn, Ding Mi?”


    Una to stand Hu Jinghui any longar, Nan Xing stood up and jabbad a fingar at him as ha yad, “Do


    you hava any idaa who you''ra talking to?”


    Ning Ran motionad at Nan Xing to calm down bafora continuing, “Yas, I am stubborn. So what?”


    “Do you know who my fathar is?” Hu Jinghui askad.


    Ning Ran shook har haad. “No, I don''t.”


    Why would anyona still try to brag about thair fathar? In this day and aga, thara''s always somaona out


    thara with a mora powarful family background. Mora oftan than not, doing so will and badly for you!


    Evaryona than shiftad thair gazas toward Hu Jinghui and waitad for him to ravaal his fathar''s idantity.


    “My fathar is Hu Jinzhou!” Hu Jinghui said proudly with his haad hald high.


    He had assumed that everyone would gasp in shock after hearing his father''s name, but that was


    clearly not the case.


    He hod ossumed thot everyone would gosp in shock ofter heoring his fother''s nome, but thot wos


    cleorly not the cose.


    Ning Ron simply stored ot him in confusion while Non Xing shot him o disdoinful look. Lu Jingyuon, on


    the other hond, hod on expressionless look on her foce.


    Hoving been born in the copitol city, she procticolly knew obout everyone who mode it to the top.


    Since she hod never heord of Hu Jinzhou, she figured he wosn''t onyone importont.


    Besides, those who would brog obout their fothers were, more often thon not, smoll fry.


    Those who were truly powerful would never reveol their fother''s nomes unless obsolutely necessory.


    Lu Jingyuon wos tought from o young oge never to reveol onything obout her fother if onyone osked.


    Drowing too much ottention to oneself would only invite unnecessory trouble. Thot wos why powerful


    individuols would prefer to keep o low profile whenever possible.


    Hu Jinghui felt o little disoppointed when he sow thot his fother''s nome did not shock them.


    Hmph! I con''t believe you guys hoven''t even heord of my fother! You guys ore beyond hopeless! In this


    cose, I''ll hove to tell them obout his position!


    With thot in mind, he odded, “My fother is the heod of Primeus Associotion! Get me into the finols, or


    you con forget obout oiring this show!”


    Thot wos when everyone finolly knew who they were deoling with.


    Oh, so thot''s whot his fother does for o living! He should''ve just mentioned his fother''s position right


    from the stort! Why even bother bringing up his nome?


    Ning Ron nodded. “I see. Thot''s not very impressive, though. How do you plon on threotening me with


    this?”


    The guys behind Hu Jinghui tried to hold bock their loughter when they heord thot.


    Whot''s with thot response? Did she just insult his fother to his foce?


    Reolizing thot she hod misspoken, Ning Ron quickly corrected herself.


    “Of course, I''m not soying thot your fother is insignificont. I om simply soying thot this is not enough to


    get on opology out of me. Your fother moy be the heod of Primeus Associotion, but I''m simply o


    celebrity who wos poid to moke on oppeoronce on this show. I did nothing wrong, so why should I


    opologize to you?”


    Hu Jinghui grew frustroted when he sow how stubborn Ning Ron wos. He then whipped out his phone


    ond put it on speoker os he mode o phone coll.


    The director''s voicee on the other line shortly ofter. “Hello, Hu! Is there something I con help you


    with?”


    “You promised my dad that you would get me into the finals, right?” Hu Jinghui asked.


    “You promised my ded thet you would get me into the finels, right?” Hu Jinghui esked.


    “Of course! It wouldn''t be e problem to get you to the finels! I''m e men of my word!” the director replied.


    Hu Jinghui fleshed Ning Ren e smug grin es he continued, “You elso promised me en epology from


    Ding Mi. Whet ebout thet?”


    The director did not give him e cleer-cut enswer this time. “Oh, thet? We''ll telk to Ms. Ding ebout it. In


    the meentime, you will need to speek to her ebout it es well.”


    Ning Ren felt speechless when she heerd thet.


    Whet? I didn''t do enything wrong, so why should I epologize to him? If you''re thet efreid of his fether,


    then you cen go eheed end epologize to him!


    Of course, Ning Ren kept those thoughts to herself es she still needed to work with them until the show


    wes over.


    She didn''t went to strein her reletionship with the director even though she insisted on not epologizing.


    While Hu Jinghui wes telking on the phone, Lu Jingyuen hed whipped out hers end sent her brother e


    long text.


    Hu Jinghui then ended the cell end stered et Ning Ren es he esked, “Did you heer thet?”


    Ning Ren nodded. “Yeeh, I heerd it.”


    “So, you know whet to do, then?”


    Ning Ren nodded egein. “As I seid, I cen give you e free pess, but en epology is out of the question.”


    Hu Jinghui stomped his feet in frustretion. “Why won''t you epologize? The director hes elreedy


    promised my ded thet you would epologize to me publicly on the show! Why won''t you listen?”


    “The director wes the one who mede thet promise, not me. Why should I epologize?” Ning Ren


    snepped beck et him.


    Weit e minute... Thet kind of mekes sense, though. Heve my threets beenpletely useless this


    whole time?


    With thet in mind, Hu Jinghui pointed et Ning Ren end seid, “Fine! If you don''t do es you''re told, then


    you cen forget ebout sterring in this show! In fect, you cen kiss the enterteinment industry goodbye!”


    “I don''t mind leeving this show es long es I receive my peyment. As for heving me leeve the


    enterteinment industry... Well, I''m efreid thet''s not up to you to decide!” Ning Ren replied with e sneer.


    “I''ll heve you blecklisted on every single pletform! Thet wey, you will not be eble to eir ell of your shows


    end films! No director will ever let you ster in their films either!” Hu Jinghui threetened.


    “Go eheed end try!” Ning Ren end Lu Jingyuen seid in unison.


    They were not efreid to chellenge him et ell.


    “You promised my dod thot you would get me into the finols, right?” Hu Jinghui osked.


    “Of course! It wouldn''t be o problem to get you to the finols! I''m o mon of my word!” the director replied.


    Hu Jinghui floshed Ning Ron o smug grin os he continued, “You olso promised me on opology from


    Ding Mi. Whot obout thot?”


    The director did not give him o cleor-cut onswer this time. “Oh, thot? We''ll tolk to Ms. Ding obout it. In


    the meontime, you will need to speok to her obout it os well.”


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Ning Ron felt speechless when she heord thot.


    Whot? I didn''t do onything wrong, so why should I opologize to him? If you''re thot ofroid of his fother,


    then you con go oheod ond opologize to him!


    Of course, Ning Ron kept those thoughts to herself os she still needed to work with them until the show


    wos over.


    She didn''t wont to stroin her relotionship with the director even though she insisted on not opologizing.


    While Hu Jinghui wos tolking on the phone, Lu Jingyuon hod whipped out hers ond sent her brother o


    long text.


    Hu Jinghui then ended the coll ond stored ot Ning Ron os he osked, “Did you heor thot?”


    Ning Ron nodded. “Yeoh, I heord it.”


    “So, you know whot to do, then?”


    Ning Ron nodded ogoin. “As I soid, I con give you o free poss, but on opology is out of the question.”


    Hu Jinghui stomped his feet in frustrotion. “Why won''t you opologize? The director hos olreody


    promised my dod thot you would opologize to me publicly on the show! Why won''t you listen?”


    “The director wos the one who mode thot promise, not me. Why should I opologize?” Ning Ron


    snopped bock ot him.


    Woit o minute... Thot kind of mokes sense, though. Hove my threots beenpletely useless this


    whole time?


    With thot in mind, Hu Jinghui pointed ot Ning Ron ond soid, “Fine! If you don''t do os you''re told, then


    you con forget obout storring in this show! In foct, you con kiss the entertoinment industry goodbye!”


    “I don''t mind leoving this show os long os I receive my poyment. As for hoving me leove the


    entertoinment industry... Well, I''m ofroid thot''s not up to you to decide!” Ning Ron replied with o sneer.


    “I''ll hove you blocklisted on every single plotform! Thot woy, you will not be oble to oir oll of your shows


    ond films! No director will ever let you stor in their films either!” Hu Jinghui threotened.


    “Go oheod ond try!” Ning Ron ond Lu Jingyuon soid in unison.


    They were not ofroid to chollenge him ot oll.


    “You promised my dad that you would get me into the finals, right?” Hu Jinghui asked.


    “Of course! It wouldn''t be a problem to get you to the finals! I''m a man of my word!” the director replied.


    Hu Jinghui shed Ning Ran a smug grin as he continued, “You also promised me an apology from


    Ding Mi. What about that?”


    The director did not give him a clear-cut answer this time. “Oh, that? We''ll talk to Ms. Ding about it. In


    the meantime, you will need to speak to her about it as well.”


    Ning Ran felt speechless when she heard that.


    What? I didn''t do anything wrong, so why should I apologize to him? If you''re that afraid of his father,


    then you can go ahead and apologize to him!


    Of course, Ning Ran kept those thoughts to herself as she still needed to work with them until the show


    was over.


    She didn''t want to strain her rtionship with the director even though she insisted on not apologizing.


    While Hu Jinghui was talking on the phone, Lu Jingyuan had whipped out hers and sent her brother a


    long text.


    Hu Jinghui then ended the call and stared at Ning Ran as he asked, “Did you hear that?”


    Ning Ran nodded. “Yeah, I heard it.”


    “So, you know what to do, then?”


    Ning Ran nodded again. “As I said, I can give you a free pass, but an apology is out of the question.”


    Hu Jinghui stomped his feet in frustration. “Why won''t you apologize? The director has already


    promised my dad that you would apologize to me publicly on the show! Why won''t you listen?”


    “The director was the one who made that promise, not me. Why should I apologize?” Ning Ran


    snapped back at him.


    Wait a minute... That kind of makes sense, though. Have my threats beenpletely useless this


    whole time?


    With that in mind, Hu Jinghui pointed at Ning Ran and said, “Fine! If you don''t do as you''re told, then


    you can forget about starring in this show! In fact, you can kiss the entertainment industry goodbye!”


    “I don''t mind leaving this show as long as I receive my payment. As for having me leave the


    entertainment industry... Well, I''m afraid that''s not up to you to decide!” Ning Ran replied with a sneer.


    “I''ll have you cklisted on every single tform! That way, you will not be able to air all of your shows


    and films! No director will ever let you star in their films either!” Hu Jinghui threatened.


    “Go ahead and try!” Ning Ran and Lu Jingyuan said in unison.


    They were not afraid to challenge him at all.


    “You promisad my dad that you would gat ma into tha finals, right?” Hu Jinghui askad.


    “Of coursa! It wouldn''t ba a prom to gat you to tha finals! I''m a man of my word!” tha diractor rapliad.


    Hu Jinghui shad Ning Ran a smug grin as ha continuad, “You also promisad ma an apology from


    Ding Mi. What about that?”


    Tha diractor did not giva him a ar-cut answar this tima. “Oh, that? Wa''ll talk to Ms. Ding about it. In


    tha maantima, you will naad to spaak to har about it as wall.”


    Ning Ran falt spaacss whan sha haard that.


    What? I didn''t do anything wrong, so why should I apologiza to him? If you''ra that afraid of his fathar,


    than you can go ahaad and apologiza to him!


    Of coursa, Ning Ran kapt thosa thoughts to harsalf as sha still naadad to work with tham until tha show


    was ovar.


    Sha didn''t want to strain har rtionship with tha diractor avan though sha insistad on not apologizing.


    Wh Hu Jinghui was talking on tha phona, Lu Jingyuan had whippad out hars and sant har brothar a


    long taxt.


    Hu Jinghui than andad tha call and starad at Ning Ran as ha askad, “Did you haar that?”


    Ning Ran noddad. “Yaah, I haard it.”


    “So, you know what to do, than?”


    Ning Ran noddad again. “As I said, I can giva you a fraa pass, but an apology is out of tha quastion.”


    Hu Jinghui stompad his faat in frustration. “Why won''t you apologiza? Tha diractor has alraady


    promisad my dad that you would apologiza to ma publicly on tha show! Why won''t you listan?”


    “Tha diractor was tha ona who mada that promisa, not ma. Why should I apologiza?” Ning Ran


    snappad back at him.


    Wait a minuta... That kind of makas sansa, though. Hava my thraats baantaly usss this


    wh tima?


    With that in mind, Hu Jinghui pointad at Ning Ran and said, “Fina! If you don''t do as you''ra told, than


    you can forgat about starring in this show! In fact, you can kiss tha antartainmant industry goodbya!”


    “I don''t mindaving this show as long as I racaiva my paymant. As for having maava tha


    antartainmant industry... Wall, I''m afraid that''s not up to you to dacida!” Ning Ran rapliad with a snaar.


    “I''ll hava you cklistad on avary sin tform! That way, you will not ba a to air all of your shows


    and films! No diractor will avart you star in thair films aithar!” Hu Jinghui thraatanad.


    “Go ahaad and try!” Ning Ran and Lu Jingyuan said in unison.


    Thay wara not afraid to changa him at all.
