After hearing the doctor’s words, Xu w.a.n.gzhi said, “Lil Yang Yang, if we go to
France, we won’t ask Mrs. Lin to go with us.”
“That’s what I think too,” Lu Ke said. “This trip is quite long. There’ll definitely be a lot of things to do when the time comes. Mrs. Lin can’t work too hard.”
Qiao Weiyang didn’t agree immediately and said, “We’ll see when the time comes.”
After Lu Ke and Xu w.a.n.gzhi left, Qiao Weiyang sat at the door of the ward and waited for Su Zhuoqian.
He brought two bottles of water over and handed one to Qiao Weiyang. He said softly, “Don’t worry too much.”
“Yes. The doctor said that her situation is alright. I’m not that worried anymore.” Qiao Weiyang’s lips had regained their color, and she was no longer as pale as before.
She looked up at Su Zhuoqian. “Aunt Lin might not be able to accompany us to France.”
“Is the trip to France very important?” Su Zhuoqian sat down beside her and took the water from her hand.
“With Aunt Lin’s personal guidance, it’ll definitely be the best-case scenario. The contestants will all bring their mentors to deal with emergencies. Besides, the mentors can introduce many masters to the contestants. Although this kind of social interaction won’t affect the outcome of the compet.i.tion, it’s indeed the best time to broaden their social connections. Otherwise, the princ.i.p.al wouldn’t have specially invited Aunt Lin to guide w.a.n.gzhi and Senior Lu. He still hopes that w.a.n.gzhi and Senior Lu can see an improvement in their careers.”
Su Zhuoqian thought for a moment and said, “Is it possible for this compet.i.tion to be held in the country at the last minute?”
“But… we’re already short on time.” Qiao Weiyang looked at him in surprise. She was indeed quite surprised that he would suggest such an impossible plan. The organizers’ planning, the business considerations, and all the arrangements for the staff, hotel reservations, and venue rental arrangements had already been finalized.
Su Zhuoqian said, “Since this compet.i.tion is also a compet.i.tion for many people to realize common values and interests, as long as we find a compatibility point for everyone’s common interests, I believe most will be willing to change their schedules.”
“But it’s still too difficult. This compet.i.tion has commercial factors and more artistic factors…
“Can’t our country provide artistic value? Leave this matter to me.”
Qiao Weiyang looked at him in surprise and shock. “Zhuoqian, you’re sacrificing too much…”
For Aunt Lin and her, countless people would have to put in a lot of effort to change the venue of this project. And he had to take charge of all of this.
“Some of the efforts are worth it.” He held her hand. “If Aunt Lin asks, just say it’s for the export and publicity of the country’s culture.”
Although this was a very good reason and he would not let any party lose benefits in the end, Qiao Weiyang still knew that the original intention of this matter was for her.
She pursed her lips, and a wave surged in her heart. “Okay,” she replied in a low voice.
The next day, Qiao Weiyang picked Lin Shuhui up and sent her to her residence.
In order to rea.s.sure Qiao Weiyang, the academy specially arranged for a caregiver to stay next door to Lin Shuhui and take care of her.
Xu w.a.n.gzhi also came over.
After he was urged to leave by a call, Lin Shuhui said, “w.a.n.gzhi might have to give up Piano Story this time.”
“What’s going on?” Qiao Weiyang asked.
“I heard that there’s an artiste whose family is very powerful. Knowing that w.a.n.gzhi is going to France to partic.i.p.ate in the finals, the director wants to promote w.a.n.gzhi. He wants to find a compatible point between the finals of Piano Story and the finals of the compet.i.tion to do publicity. Therefore, that artiste is dissatisfied with this arrangement and wants Piano Story to be recorded in advance. Not only might it split the time between the two sides, but it’s also very likely that… w.a.n.gzhi can only give up the opportunity.”
Lin Shuhui had also heard about it from Brother Tang.
Xu w.a.n.gzhi did not say anything in front of them.
Qiao Weiyang was used to seeing such things in the entertainment industry.
She said calmly, “Then their hopes this time might be dashed.”
She told Lin Shuhui about Su Zhuoqian moving the compet.i.tion to the country.
Although Lin Shuhui was surprised, she knew that there was nothing Su Zhuoqian could not do.
What was even rarer was his intentions for Qiao Weiyang. She said, “In that case, we don’t have to worry too much.”
“Yes, it’s most important for you to take care of yourself.”
“However, Weiyang, are the conflicts in the entertainment industry that powerful? There’s actually someone who’s so vicious to their peers for an opportunity?” Lin Shuhui couldn’t help but worry about Qiao Weiyang.
Qiao Weiyang had always reported the good news but not the bad. Over the years, she had developed this habit. Previously, she basically did not let Lin Shu know about these fights.
Lin Shuhui was not in the fan circle and did not know much about these things.
Qiao Weiyang smiled and said, “Most of the time, it’s a healthy compet.i.tion.
Everyone gets resources with their own abilities. But there are such things. Even so, it’s not the norm.”
When Lin Shuhui heard her words, she could only put down his worries. She also knew that at Qiao Weiyang’s level, even if she wanted to help, she might not be able to.
When Xu w.a.n.gzhi returned to the production team, Brother Tang was arguing with the director until his face turned red.
When the director saw him, he greeted, “w.a.n.gzhi, I don’t know what to tell Brother Tang. We really can’t coordinate the time for this recording. I’m really sorry…”
He was also under a lot of pressure. Not only did he have to consider the interests of a certain artist, but he also had to consider the interests of the show as a whole.
In the end, the overall benefits of the show were to attract business and make profits. Chengyu took on most of this responsibility.
Only with a profitable investor could they give all the staff salaries and bonuses. Only then could they consider the next show or season.
He had no choice but to sacrifice Xu w.a.n.gzhi’s interests, even though he knew that Xu w.a.n.gzhi had been sacrificed for nothing.
“But Director, don’t forget that w.a.n.gzhi has indeed brought a lot of popularity to our Droduction. You’re throwing him aside after taking advantage of him..
Brother Tang was agitated.
“Brother Tang, that’s enough.” Xu w.a.n.gzhi stopped him. “The director doesn’t wish for such an arrangement either. It’s useless for you to be agitated.” Brother Tang glanced at him and had no choice but to give up arguing.
Xu w.a.n.gzhi said to the director, “Director, how about this? If you can help fight for it, try your best to help me again. If it really doesn’t work out and I really can’t record the last episode, find a suitable time and eliminate me. Get someone else to replace me.”
“Have you made up your mind?” the director asked regretfully..
