Since when did the director become like this? I remember his past shows were all great. What’s going on this time?

Mr. Smith, I really misjudged you.

Let me say this now: even if my favorite idols are in that show, I’m not watching it.

Poor them, having to work with a woman like her.

No matter how much people said online, it didn’t change the director’s decision.

Even Aurora, reading those comments, couldn’t help feeling sorry for him.

She had been waiting to hear that she was being replaced, but there was no sign of it.

At that moment, even Aurora herself was deeply moved. She never thought the director valued her this much. She was certain that when the show aired, she would give it her all to present the project well.

Megan gently nudged Aurora’s shoulder, eyes glistening. “Aurora, I’ve never seen a director like him. Everyone online is attacking him, but he hasn’t changed his mind at all. He’s standing firmly by his principles.”

“I get it now. With a director like him, he’s bound to succeed. I’ve decided I’ll always support him from now on.”

Aurora was equally moved. Hearing Megan’s words, she didn’t think they were exaggerated at all. A director like him was indeed destined for success.

“I think so too. When the show airs, we must do our best and leave those haters speechless.”

As Aurora said that, she silently made up her mind.

Megan asked, “So when are we actually filming the show? It’s already been so long, and there’s still no confirmation?”

“It should be within the next couple of days. The online buzz is only getting louder, and it’s giving the show a strange kind of publicity. I think when it airs, all those people claiming they won’t watch will end up tuning in anyway.”

Megan nodded in full agreement. “You’re right. People are always like that – mocking you one moment and watching the show just to see if you’ll embarrass yourself.”

Aurora chuckled softly. “That’s how most people are nowadays. It’s not just one or two – it’s the crowd mentality.”

Megan clapped her hands in agreement. “Exactly! Honestly, I get it too. The world’s just too curious for its own good. Who doesn’t love a bit of drama?”

Aurora laughed again. “You’re not wrong. I’m probably the same way.”

While the two of them chatted and laughed, Aaron and Tessa were nearly losing their minds. They had been waiting for the situation online to turn in their favor, but no reversal ever came. In frustration, Aaron ordered the original poster to release more dirt.

Soon, new rumors started circulating online. What was happening to this world? Did people who rely on marriage instead of hard work deserve admiration? If that was the case, what was the point of effort anymore?

The conversation quickly shifted – from accusing Aurora of marrying her way up, to questioning the value of learning itself – turning the entire debate into a philosophical argument. And this kind of question was never something that could be answered in a few words.
