The special assistant took her to the elevator.
"Thank you for your help, Sister Nuo, but this is A Ze's order."
Qiao Yinuo felt a bit dejected upon hearing this. "A Ze's order?"
"I can tell you the truth. A Ze has been stimulated recently. He doesn't even want to see his best friends, let alone you."
Qiao Yinuo was quite confused about Luo Yize's actions. She originally thought that this would be an opportunity for Luo Yize to pursue her again, but judging from the current situation, the possibility seemed rather slim.
It was no wonder. After all, He Jing and A Hai had joined hands to set a trap for Luo Yize. It was impossible for him not to be affected.
However, Qiao Yinuo had never been in a relationship before, so she couldn't really understand how serious such a mental shock could be to a person. But she herself had also experienced such a shock, and at that time, hers was even more severe than Luo Yize's current one.
As for Qiao Yinuo's shock, it was mainly due to her failure in the interview with a film and television company and her father's and other relatives' discouragement of her writing career. But thinking of this, Qiao Yinuo was still extremely grateful to Luo Yize. If it hadn't been for his guidance back then, she might have committed suicide.
"I'm willing to help him to the end," Qiao Yinuo said firmly.
The special assistant shook his head helplessly. "You can't help him. Originally, he became popular because of your drama. Now, he's not only facing online violence but also experiencing a huge set - back in his career. It's very difficult for him to get out of this. He won't listen to anyone, let alone you."
But Qiao Yinuo's attitude remained firm. "I'll tell you the truth. I was in the same situation as A Ze back then, just different things happened. If it hadn't been for A Ze, I wouldn't be alive today. Now, I've finally achieved my wish. As his fan and the most important person in his life, no matter how serious the situation is, I'm willing to face it with him."
"Thank you so much, Sister Nuo."
Qiao Yinuo thought the special assistant had agreed to her request, but then he continued, "There's no point in saying too much. I have other things to do. I'll leave first!"
Watching the special assistant rush back to the consulting room, Qiao Yinuo stood there in a daze, speechless.
In her mind, she recalled her own difficult days right after graduating from university.
At that time, Qiao Yinuo not only had to endure her father's direct attacks on her self - esteem at home but also the ridicule from other relatives at the dinner table. They would say things like "When are you going to find a job?" and "I advise you to give up writing as soon as possible. No one can make a living by writing." And her father often said, "Either become a lawyer or a civil servant. If you dare to write, I'll cut off your hands."
As a result, the twenty - year - old Qiao Yinuo developed mild depression.
Her family had found countless psychological experts to diagnose her, but none of them could help.
Later, Qiao Yinuo met a psychologist who was also Luo Yize's cousin. She learned that Qiao Yinuo had admired Luo Yize for many years. If it hadn't been for her cousin's introduction, she might never have met Luo Yize again after that birthday party, let alone during their later cooperation.
Thanks to this connection, his cousin introduced Qiao Yinuo to Luo Yize, and the three of them had a meal together. Qiao Yinuo clearly remembered that she had used the living expenses given by her parents to pay for that meal.
Qiao Yinuo also remembered the words Luo Yize had encouraged her with back then: "Even when climbing a hundred - foot - high tower, it's not an easy task. When the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning come together, you have to endure and persevere. Every step you take is like playing Go; you can only move forward, not backward. When you finally get through the storm, you'll find that you've climbed to the top of the tower and picked the stars."
When the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai wrote the poem "Staying Overnight in a Mountain Temple", the first two lines "The tower is so high it seems a hundred feet; One can pick the stars with outstretched hands" originally described the amazing height of the mountain temple and the wonder of the stars. But Qiao Yinuo had taken these lines out of the poem, and her understanding of them was completely different from the original meaning.
Li Bai was able to write these two vivid and exaggerated lines, which showed how proud he was at that time. Qiao Yinuo was the same. No wonder she had a tomboyish personality. Since she wasn't a student of drama and film literature but of Chinese literature, she didn't really know how to write a script. Even in the field of Chinese literature, she was somewhat of an amateur. But her perseverance was incredibly strong. After meeting Luo Yize during her difficult days, she had told him that she hoped he would act in her works one day.
Now, it was time for Qiao Yinuo to help Luo Yize. In her opinion, Luo Yize still needed her. Even if he had said he wanted to break up with her, she knew he didn't really mean it in his heart. But Qiao Yinuo was afraid to go. It would be so embarrassing if she angered her idol again.
It was already midnight when she walked out of the hospital. At this moment, Qiao Yinuo felt like reciting a poem to express her helplessness and pain.
Seeing Luo Yize in such a state, she didn't dare to ask his cousin for help, nor did she dare to call Deng Hao, Hou Lei, Ye Xuan, or even General Manager Zhao.
She was physically and mentally exhausted, so she hailed a taxi and went home. As soon as she got home, she went to bed and didn't wake up until almost noon.
When she turned on her phone, she found dozens of messages from Director Cao Can.
What? Director Cao Can had a big problem with "Why Am I So Ugly"?
Scrolling through the chat records from top to bottom, the harsh words made Qiao Yinuo feel a bit scared. Director Cao Can was really angry. "What a stupid title! What a stupid character design! Does being ugly mean it's going to be popular? Can the lines be any more cheesy? What disgusting sweet talk you've written! Can you add some more interesting and dramatic plot twists? Where's the humor I asked for? Are you just playing with me?"
The most crucial thing was that after all the angry words, the last sentence was, "I'll give you one month to revise it all!"
Damn it! Revise it all in one month. This was like a death sentence for her!
Qiao Yinuo could tell why every drama Director Cao Can had made in the field of Hong Kong and Taiwan idol dramas was a classic. His requirements for the script were as strict as those of the Chinese version of "Aamir Khan".
