The film and television city starts from the courtyard

That day, Xu Lin came to Tianhe Entertainment to attend the single release conference and took the opportunity to see Xiao Qianxi, only to find that Xiao Qianxi looked much more haggard and was practicing alone in the practice room.

"Qianxi, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Qianxi was a little excited when she saw Xu Lin. She told him about how she went to England to see He Xiaozhou, but missed an opportunity and was subsequently sidelined by the company.

Upon hearing this, Xu Lin felt sorry for Xiao Qianxi and said, "Are you just going to wait like this?"

"What else can I do? The company makes me practice but won't release a single. I can't just give up like this, can I? Besides, the penalty for breach of contract is a lot of money. I hope the company can give me a chance in the future."

"That won't do. You still need to pursue your master's degree; you can't keep delaying things like this. By the way, Chen Tianhe, aren't you going to consider Qin Chuan's situation?"

Xiao Qianxi asked, "What does this have to do with Qin Chuan?"

"Didn't we ask Qin Chuan to pretend to be your boyfriend before? He should at least give us some face, he can't just leave you hanging like this."

"It seems that President Chen knows about Qin Chuan and Wang Ying's relationship, and also about me and Xiao Zhou."

"Knowing it doesn't matter. Qin Chuan's visit is more useful than anything else. This Qin Chuan is too careless. Even if it's fake, he should at least put on an act, right?"

Xu Lin looked at Xiao Qianxi and said, "How come you've lost so much weight? It can't be that they're cutting back on your food expenses just because your relationship with Qin Chuan is fake, can it?"

"No, it saves money and helps with weight loss, plus it makes me look better on camera."

Xu Lin felt sorry for Xiao Qianxi and couldn't bear to see her continue like this, so he decided to help her.

Xu Lin is a man of his word. After leaving Xiao Qianxi, he immediately went to find Zhao Shucheng. Seeing that Wang Ying was also there, he directly told her about Xiao Qianxi.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shucheng said, "This was indeed my mistake. I thought Qianxi already had a plan, so I didn't pay much attention. Here's what I'll do: I'll invite Chen Tianhe to dinner another day and have Qianxi come along. Then everything will be fine."

“Alright, I’ll also write an article for Qianxi and promote her so that Chen Tianhe knows that Qianxi isn’t without support and will pay more attention to her.”

"Then let's split up and act separately."

Xu Lin acted quickly, immediately writing an article to defend Xiao Qianxi, which received many clicks, and Chen Tianhe also saw the article.

He naturally knew that someone was standing up for Xiao Qianxi, but seeing so many people paying attention, he knew that Xiao Qianxi was still very popular, so he went to find Xiao Qianxi.

"Qianxi, is this the article you asked Xu Lin to write?"

"No."

"Oh, I think this one is the best to write about. With the stage lights off, in the dark rehearsal room, Qianxi practices her basic skills over and over again... It has already been clicked over ten million times, and I have received several calls about you, from the media and colleagues."

"Xu Lin is my good friend and roommate. She came to see me that day, probably just on a whim. I'm sorry if this affects the company!"

"Go to the vocal studio right now and practice without eating or sleeping. Record the song for me within three days."

"Mr. Chen, what do you mean?"

"Xiao Qianxi, don't you already know? Go!"

Xiao Qianxi was overjoyed to hear this news, so she immediately went to the vocal studio to practice.

Chen Tianhe breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xiao Qianxi had made the contact. He remembered that Zhao Shucheng had also called that morning, inviting him to dinner; he knew without asking that it was about Xiao Qianxi.

He had initially thought that Zhao Shucheng and Xiao Qianxi were just playing around, since Zhao Shucheng hadn't visited Xiao Qianxi since signing the contract, and hadn't even let her go out much. But now it seemed that things weren't as he had imagined.

Since Xiao Qianxi still has value, he naturally won't give up on her. So he's going to give her a chance and see if she can make it through.

Zhao Shucheng originally planned to have dinner with Chen Tianhe to talk about Qianxi, but upon hearing that Xiao Qianxi was going to record a song soon, he decided not to have dinner and would wait until after Xiao Qianxi finished recording before discussing it.

On the other hand, after Yang Cheng proposed to Xie Qiao, things turned out exactly as Zhao Shucheng had predicted.

Ren Siyu confronted Xie Qiao, revealing that she and Yang Cheng had been in a relationship for many years, and that even after Xie Qiao and Yang Cheng got together, they had never broken up, and that she was now pregnant with Yang Cheng's child.

Xie Qiao was already at a loss when faced with Yang Cheng's marriage proposal. Knowing that Ren Siyu and Yang Cheng were still entangled and even had a child, she naturally couldn't accept Yang Cheng's proposal. So she simply took off the ring Yang Cheng gave her and stopped answering his calls.

Yang Cheng received Ren Siyu's ultimatum and couldn't contact Xie Qiao. He was filled with hatred for Ren Siyu, but still hoped to talk to Xie Qiao, so he could only ask Wang Ying for help.

Wang Ying asked, "No, what could she possibly say to Xie Qiao?"

But when she heard that Ren Siyu was pregnant, she glared at Yang Cheng angrily and said, "How could you do such a thing? Aren't you going to marry Xie Qiao? What kind of person are you to have a child like this?"

"I didn't want this either; it really was an accident."

“I can’t help you. I didn’t approve of you two being together back then, because I was worried that Xie Qiao would get hurt. Now it seems that I should have been more determined to stop you from being together.”

"But I want to be with Xie Qiao, so you have to help me. I'll explain it to Xie Qiao."

Although Wang Ying was very angry, she was also genuinely worried that Xie Qiao might do something rash, so she called Xie Qiao. After finally getting through, Xie Qiao agreed to meet with Yang Cheng and clear things up.

Yang Cheng waited for a long time, and Xie Qiao didn't get home until very late. She then broke up with Yang Cheng.

Yang Cheng explained a lot, and also said that he really wanted to marry Xie Qiao because Xie Qiao never interfered with him or clung to him. After marriage, they could continue to live such a free and easy life.

Xie Qiao was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this and said, "Yang Cheng, you are too self-righteous. I broke up with you not because of Ren Siyu. Before she came, I had been thinking about how I could return this to you."

"You don't understand me at all. You don't know what I like or what I need. I want to find someone I love and who understands me, to start a family with. If we really get married, we can live our lives without interfering with each other. In reality, whoever is by your side is just an ornament to you. Don't you find it ridiculous that you don't even love your wife?"

"So what do you think marriage is like? Can those so-called people who understand, appreciate, and like each other really live better than us? All divorced people are people who love each other."

"I can't say whether those people will have an even worse breakup than us, but I'm certain that the person who will accompany you for life shouldn't be someone who doesn't love you. Only people who love each other should be together, and only people who love each other should get married. I started dating you in freshman year because I liked you, and now I'm breaking up with you because I don't like you anymore." Hearing Xie Qiao's words, Yang Cheng was surprised that Xie Qiao thought this way. He felt ashamed and could only accept the engagement ring. After wishing each other well, they went their separate ways.

The next day.

Wang Ying found Xie Qiao and asked, "Xie Qiao, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. I've already talked to Yang Cheng. I have no feelings for him anymore, so we naturally have to break up."

Wang Ying said, "Regarding feelings, Yang Cheng wants to marry you. Do you know what that means for people like us? He wants to bring you into his life. I'm not bragging, but it's like stepping into a new world. Is there anything more genuine than true love?"

Xie Qiao said, "Wang Ying, I'm different from you. Maybe I was never meant to be from your world. You might find someone you don't dislike, like a business partner, and cultivate a kinship relationship. Maybe it doesn't matter. You've seen too much; maybe family and marriage aren't that important to you. But it's not like that for me."

Xie Qiao then looked at Wang Ying and said, "And Wang Ying, do you also have this attitude that you can be together with Qin Chuan as long as you don't dislike him?"

Wang Ying was stunned. She didn't know how to tell Xie Qiao about her relationship with Zhao Shucheng, since she had genuinely fallen for him, not just looking for a business partner.

"See, you know that liking someone is the most important thing, so don't try to persuade me. I grew up in a tenement, and I've always lived by the kindness of others. In my mind, two people in a marriage must love each other. Wang Ying, I want to love, I want to be loved, and I want to be old and look at the person beside me, feeling that it's so good to have him, and that no matter how hard life has been, it was all worth it to have him."

Wang Ying said, "Do you know how many people want to marry Yang Cheng?"

"I know, there are still people cutting in line. But I don't want that to happen, so keep it up, everyone."

Wang Ying said, "Alright then, I can only hope that you find someone you like to spend your life with soon."

Xie Qiao composed herself and said, "Let's not talk about us. I heard you and Qin Chuan are getting engaged?"

"Pretty much. Now it's just a matter of the two sets of parents meeting. If there are no problems, then it will be settled."

"Alright then, I hope you two will be happy in the future and that your love for each other will never fade."

"We will."

As the two were talking, Xie Qiao suddenly saw Zhao Shucheng's figure appear outside the opposite door, and he was walking into the restaurant arm in arm with a girl.

She paused for a moment, glancing at Wang Ying, unsure whether she should tell her. After all, Wang Ying had just said they were getting married, yet Qin Chuan was flirting with another girl. What if it was a misunderstanding? But if it wasn't, wouldn't Wang Ying be kept in the dark, unaware that the person she liked already had someone else?
Wang Ying noticed Xie Qiao staring intently at the other side of the room. Curious, she glanced at her and asked, "Qiao Qiao, what are you looking at?"

"Nothing, I just thought I saw someone I knew."

Wang Ying smiled and said, "Oh, I see. But that car looks like Qin Chuan's. You didn't see Qin Chuan, did you?"

"No, but that car belongs to Qin Chuan. I know he recently changed cars, but I don't know what kind of car it is."

"Look, that sports car over there is his. I heard it's a limited edition, and it cost millions to buy."

"Really? I'll have to take a good look when I have the chance. By the way, now that we've finished chatting, how about we go shopping?"

Wang Ying realized that Xie Qiao seemed to be trying to get her to leave. Considering that Zhao Shucheng's car was here, and Xie Qiao had been hiding something earlier, it must be because Zhao Shucheng was here.

She couldn't help but smile, without telling Xie Qiao that Zhao Shucheng had actually come with Xiao Qianxi. It was understandable that Zhao Shucheng didn't know Xiao Qianxi had been sidelined before, but now that he did, he naturally wanted to stand up for her.

So Zhao Shucheng had told Wang Ying long ago that he was taking Xiao Qianxi to dinner with Chen Tianhe, the boss of Tianhe Entertainment.

Xie Qiao must have seen Zhao Shucheng and Xiao Qianxi just now, but Qianxi has changed a lot, so she didn't recognize her and mistakenly thought that Zhao Shucheng had cheated on her.

Unexpectedly, Xie Qiao would also help Zhao Shucheng keep it from her, just as she knew that Yang Cheng and Ren Siyu were still entangled, but did not tell Xie Qiao.

"Okay, let's go! After we finish shopping, Qin Chuan will pick us up, and I'll show you his new car."

"That's not a good idea. Qin Chuan's company must be quite busy. Otherwise, let's take a taxi back."

"It's alright, he's the company boss, whether he's busy or not is up to him."

Xie Qiao was a little worried. What if Wang Ying saw them? Wouldn't they have to break up too? For some reason, thinking about this, Xie Qiao felt a strange sense of anticipation.

Zhao Shucheng had no idea that Xie Qiao had seen him and Xiao Qianxi. He and Xiao Qianxi entered the private room arm in arm and saw that Chen Tianhe had already arrived.

"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry I'm late."

"Mr. Qin is too kind. I'm just too early."

After gesturing for Xiao Qianxi to sit down, Zhao Shucheng sat down himself and said, "President Chen, Qianxi is very grateful for your care during this time."

"Mr. Qin is too kind. Qianxi has always been a promising contestant for us, but she has been in training recently. However, we have already recorded a song for Qianxi, and the single will be released soon."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Of course I know that. It's my fault; I was a bit busy before and didn't have time to greet President Chen."

"President Qin is too kind. Qianxi has performed very well and will definitely be a pillar of our company in the future."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "That's good. But don't worry, Mr. Chen, I will definitely support Qianxi's work. If Qianxi's single sells well after it's officially released, we can definitely collaborate."

Chen Tianhe's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he naturally knew that the cooperation Zhao Shucheng mentioned was not an investment, but more likely a search for a spokesperson.

Xiao Qianxi's fans are mostly young people. If she were to endorse Zhao Shucheng's milk tea, she would definitely achieve good sales, which would also help open up business channels for Xiao Qianxi.

"Alright, Mr. Qin, we'll wait and see."

After a satisfying meal, Zhao Shucheng was helped away by Xiao Qianxi. Xiao Qianxi was extremely careful, worried that Zhao Shucheng might be drunk, which made it clear to others that the two had a special relationship.

However, after leaving the restaurant, Zhao Shucheng straightened up and said, "Qianxi, don't help me, I'm not drunk." (End of Chapter)
