After hearing the doctorâs words, Xu Wangzhi said, âLil Yang Yang, if we go to
France, we wonât ask Mrs. Lin to go with us.â
âThatâs what I think too,â Lu Ke said. âThis trip is quite long. Thereâll definitely be a lot of things to do when the time comes. Mrs. Lin canât work too hard.â
Qiao Weiyang didnât agree immediately and said, âWeâll see when the time comes.â
After Lu Ke and Xu Wangzhi 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, âDonât worry too much.â
âYes. The doctor said that her situation is alright. Iâm not that worried anymore.â Qiao Weiyangâs lips had regained their color, and she was no longer as pale as before.
She looked up at Su Zhuoqian. âAunt Lin might not be able to accompany us to France.â
âIs the trip to France very important?â Su Zhuoqian sat down beside her and took the water from her hand.
âWith Aunt Linâs personal guidance, itâll 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 wonât affect the outcome of the competition, itâs indeed the best time to broaden their social connections. Otherwise, the principal wouldnât have specially invited Aunt Lin to guide Wangzhi and Senior Lu. He still hopes that Wangzhi and Senior Lu can see an improvement in their careers.â
Su Zhuoqian thought for a moment and said, âIs it possible for this competition to be held in the country at the last minute?â
âBut⦠weâre already short on time.â Qiao Weiyang looked at him in surprise. She was indeed quite surprised that he would suggest such an impossible plan. The organizersâ planning, the business considerations, and all the arrangements for the staff, hotel reservations, and venue rental arrangements had already been finalized.
Su Zhuoqian said, âSince this competition is also a competition for many people to realize common values and interests, as long as we find a compatibility point for everyoneâs common interests, I believe most will be willing to change their schedules.â
âBut itâs still too difficult. This competition has commercial factors and more artistic factorsâ¦
âCanât our country provide artistic value? Leave this matter to me.â
Qiao Weiyang looked at him in surprise and shock. âZhuoqian, youâre sacrificing too muchâ¦â
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.
âSome of the efforts are worth it.â He held her hand. âIf Aunt Lin asks, just say itâs for the export and publicity of the countryâs culture.â
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. âOkay,â she replied in a low voice.
The next day, Qiao Weiyang picked Lin Shuhui up and sent her to her residence.
In order to reassure Qiao Weiyang, the academy specially arranged for a caregiver to stay next door to Lin Shuhui and take care of her.
Xu Wangzhi also came over.
After he was urged to leave by a call, Lin Shuhui said, âWangzhi might have to give up Piano Story this time.â
âWhatâs going on?â Qiao Weiyang asked.
âI heard that thereâs an artiste whose family is very powerful. Knowing that Wangzhi is going to France to participate in the finals, the director wants to promote Wangzhi. He wants to find a compatible point between the finals of Piano Story and the finals of the competition 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 itâs also very likely that⦠Wangzhi can only give up the opportunity.â
Lin Shuhui had also heard about it from Brother Tang.
Xu Wangzhi did not say anything in front of them.
Qiao Weiyang was used to seeing such things in the entertainment industry.
She said calmly, âThen their hopes this time might be dashed.â
She told Lin Shuhui about Su Zhuoqian moving the competition 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, âIn that case, we donât have to worry too much.â
âYes, itâs most important for you to take care of yourself.â
âHowever, Weiyang, are the conflicts in the entertainment industry that powerful? Thereâs actually someone whoâs so vicious to their peers for an opportunity?â Lin Shuhui couldnât 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, âMost of the time, itâs a healthy competition.
Everyone gets resources with their own abilities. But there are such things. Even so, itâs not the norm.â
When Lin Shuhui heard her words, she could only put down his worries. She also knew that at Qiao Weiyangâs level, even if she wanted to help, she might not be able to.
When Xu Wangzhi returned to the production team, Brother Tang was arguing with the director until his face turned red.
When the director saw him, he greeted, âWangzhi, I donât know what to tell Brother Tang. We really canât coordinate the time for this recording. Iâm really sorryâ¦â
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 Wangzhiâs interests, even though he knew that Xu Wangzhi had been sacrificed for nothing.
âBut Director, donât forget that Wangzhi has indeed brought a lot of popularity to our Droduction. Youâre throwing him aside after taking advantage of him..
Brother Tang was agitated.
âBrother Tang, thatâs enough.â Xu Wangzhi stopped him. âThe director doesnât wish for such an arrangement either. Itâs useless for you to be agitated.â Brother Tang glanced at him and had no choice but to give up arguing.
Xu Wangzhi said to the director, âDirector, how about this? If you can help fight for it, try your best to help me again. If it really doesnât work out and I really canât record the last episode, find a suitable time and eliminate me. Get someone else to replace me.â
âHave you made up your mind?â the director asked regretfully..
