The film and television city starts from the courtyard

In order to earn money to buy a house as soon as possible, Xiao Qianxi accepted all the activities arranged by Chen Tianhe, leaving her exhausted every day.

Even her assistant felt sorry for her and asked, "Sis, your schedule is packed next week. Are you going to all these events?"

"What are they?"

"A fashionable entertainment dinner, three business dinners, a shopping mall anniversary event, and a new real estate opening ceremony. Mr. Lou said you can choose whichever you like."

Xiao Qianxi asked, "Do they all receive appearance fees?"

"Of course, especially real estate openings, with big red envelopes. But I see the schedule is too packed, I guess I won't be able to go to everyone?"

“Go, why not? Look at the time, if there’s no conflict, I’ll go.”

"Sis, you're working too hard."

"Why not go if there's money to be made?"

When He Xiaozhou video-chatted with her, he saw Xiao Qianxi's haggard appearance and her desire to apply for an extension of her graduation. He asked in surprise, "You're applying for an extension of your graduation?"

"Yes, I've missed credits for a few courses, and I also have to prepare a paper, so I definitely won't be able to catch up."

"That's true. You've been too busy lately. You don't look well either. You should take a break."

"I can't rest, my schedule is too full, so I'm taking advantage of being home today to video chat with you. Otherwise, you wouldn't see me for a week."

"Who arranged this for you? Why don't you talk to them? I'm worried your body won't be able to handle it if this continues."

Xiao Qianxi said, "I made the arrangements myself. Since I'm already in this line of work, every penny I earn is a penny earned, and every step forward is a step forward."

"Qianxi, there's no need for this..."

"Why wouldn't it be necessary? If I just drift along like this for the next few years, what's the point of all this?"

He Xiaozhou said, "But it's just too tiring."

"Is there any way for us to avoid getting tired?"

He Xiaozhou said, "Qianxi, our situation now is much better than when we were in school. It's lonely at the top, we don't need to climb that high."

"Only by going uphill can you go higher and higher. Xiao Zhou, do you want to go downhill? Let's not talk about this anymore. I've already saved some money. I have 200,000 now."

He Xiaozhou said with a hint of helplessness, "That's really impressive!"

"I'm going to sleep now, I have an early flight tomorrow."

He Xiaozhou didn't want Xiao Qianxi to be so tired, nor did he want her to become more famous. He also didn't want to be a lover who could never see the light of day.

So after much thought, he figured that if he couldn't reason with Xiao Qianxi, perhaps he could ask Zhao Shucheng for help. After all, Zhao Shucheng knew Chen Tianhe, so having them reduce the number of activities Qianxi was probably no problem.

Zhao Shucheng was actually somewhat surprised when he received He Xiaozhou's call.

Upon hearing He Xiaozhou's request, Zhao Shucheng paused for a moment and said, "Xiaozhou, won't Qianxi be angry if you do this?"

“I can’t just watch her work so hard without eating or sleeping. Our situation is much better now, she doesn’t need to work so hard.”

Zhao Shucheng said, "Is it really just because of this reason?"

"Of course, what else could it be for?"

Zhao Shucheng said, "Alright, I'll go talk to President Chen later and ask her to arrange more high-quality activities for Qianxi and fewer unnecessary social engagements."

"Thank you, Ogawa!"

"Why are you so polite?"

Seeing Zhao Shucheng hang up the phone, Wang Ying asked curiously, "What did Xiaozhou want to talk to you about? I heard you mention Qianxi?"

"Qianxi has been taking on a lot of gigs lately, and Xiaozhou can't bear it, so she asked me to talk to President Chen and ask him to reduce her workload."

"Although I don't know much about it, isn't it good for celebrities to be busy? Besides, Qianxi's career is just starting to take off, so it's the perfect time to strike while the iron is hot. Wouldn't it be better to have more activities?"

Zhao Shucheng said, "It's not that it's bad, but Xiao Zhou feels sorry for her. Besides, some activities only have appearance fees and don't really benefit Xiao Qianxi's fame, so it's okay to reduce them a bit."

"I think we should ask Qianxi. There must be a reason why Qianxi is accepting these gigs. After all, if she really doesn't want to, then it's time for you to step in as a shield. Is she just too embarrassed to ask you for help?"

"Of course not, but I think it's because Xiao Qianxi is trying to make money. After all, most of these events come with appearance fees, ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands. For us, it might not be much, but for Xiao Qianxi, it's a considerable sum of money."

"You can't trade your health for money. You should ask her if she's having any difficulties and then help her out."

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Alright, I understand. You should get some rest. Your flight is early tomorrow morning, and it will be over ten hours, so don't overwork yourself."

"Okay, it's not like it's the first time I've done it. I'm used to it."

Despite what Wang Ying said, she still obediently went to wash up and prepare to rest.

The next day.

Zhao Shucheng took Wang Ying to the airport and said goodbye to Wang Ying's mother first.

Looking at her daughter, Wang Ying's mother felt both relieved and at ease. After all, she preferred that Wang Ying stay away from the gossip rather than endure it herself. She hoped that in a few months, when things had settled down, Wang Ying wouldn't have to face any of this when she returned.

"Xiaoying, study hard when you get there. When you come back next time, everything will be alright."

"I understand, Mom!"

Zhao Shucheng said, "Auntie, don't worry, I'll visit Wang Ying often. Once things calm down, Wang Ying will come back to see you."

"With you here, I naturally feel at ease."

After getting into the car, Wang Ying watched her mother wave goodbye and couldn't help but open the car window to say goodbye to her mother as well.

Upon arriving at the airport, Wang Ying saw Xie Qiao and Xu Lin there to see her off. Wang Ying was overjoyed to see them, and although she was still somewhat saddened, her spirits were much better than before.

Xu Lin even returned the jade Guanyin statue that Wang Ying had given him, hoping it would bring her more good fortune. Wang Ying declined, saying, "No need. If I said it was for you, it is. I haven't reached that point yet."

"No, this is your talisman. Looking back now, I shouldn't have taken it in the first place. Now it's back to its rightful owner, and I hope it will bring you more good luck."

"That's okay!"

After parting ways with Xu Lin and the others, Wang Ying couldn't help but look back.

Zhao Shucheng said, "Alright, you can come back anytime you want. By the way, take this card. I specially asked someone to get it for you; it's from a foreign bank."

"What are you doing?"

Zhao Shucheng said, "You're already my fiancée, so naturally you should spend my money. Besides, it's only right that the husband earns the money and the wife spends it. Moreover, I don't want you to worry about living expenses, nor do I want you to work part-time. Foreign countries are different from China; I'm more concerned about your safety."

"I don't want to, I..."

"Take it. We don't need to be so clear about things. If you really mind, just consider it a loan from me. You can pay me back after you graduate and start working."

Seeing Zhao Shucheng's resolute attitude, Wang Ying had no choice but to accept the bank card and said, "Okay, I'll keep it for now, but let's make it clear first, consider it a loan from me."

"Okay, no problem. By the way, you have one more year until graduation, right?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just can't wait. I hope you graduate soon so we won't have to live apart and can be together every day."

"I knew you weren't thinking anything of this. I'm not talking to you anymore, I need to get ready to board."

Zhao Shucheng held Wang Ying's hand and said, "Wang Ying, in my heart, you will always be that proud young lady, so don't belittle yourself because of this incident, and don't feel sorry for yourself. As long as I'm here, you can always be that proud young lady, the princess that others envy. And I will be your support in the future, so you don't need to care about anyone else's opinion."

"understood!"

Wang Ying agreed softly, deeply moved, because Zhao Shucheng had shown her that she had not been abandoned by the whole world.

Yang Cheng originally planned to return on the same flight as Wang Ying, but when he arrived at the airport, he found that he could not find his ticket. He quickly called his secretary, Wang, and learned that his parents had canceled his ticket.

He stormed home and confronted his mother, only to be met with her response that she didn't want him to be implicated by Wang Ying, leaving Yang Cheng speechless with anger.

"Mom, how could you do this? Wang Ying and I are childhood friends. How could she possibly implicate me? Shouldn't the person we should be most worried about right now be Wang Ying's fiancé? But he shows no sign of distancing himself. They were even planning to hold an engagement banquet in the next couple of days, but Uncle Wang's side thought it shouldn't be too ostentatious, so they canceled it."

"He's different from us."

“I don’t see any difference. Our family is in business, and so is Qin Chuan. In fact, his current net worth is not much less than ours, but they are not afraid. What are you afraid of?”

Seeing her son's anger and strange look, Yang's mother didn't know how to explain it to him. After all, Zhao Shucheng had started from scratch and relied entirely on his own efforts, but their family's situation was different.

How Yang Cheng's father earned his first fortune and how he conducted business afterwards are all untold stories and secrets. Moreover, their family's relationship with Uncle Wang Ying is no secret, so they naturally want to distance themselves early to avoid being discovered.

Zhao Shucheng and Wang Ying had no idea that Yang Cheng had argued with his family. When Wang Ying boarded the plane and didn't see Yang Cheng, she simply assumed that Yang Cheng hadn't been able to buy a ticket.

After seeing Wang Ying off, Zhao Shucheng drove directly to Tianhe Entertainment.

When the others saw Zhao Shucheng's car and then saw him get out of it, they started talking amongst themselves.

Ignoring the stares of those around him, Zhao Shucheng walked in and asked, "Is your CEO Chen here?"

"Mr. Chen is not here right now. Is there anything I can do for you? I can help you make an appointment."

"No need. Where's Xiao Qianxi? She's not here either?"

"Qianxi went to the event with President Chen."

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "I see. Tell President Chen that I came to see him and asked him to call me when he has time."

After saying that, Zhao Shucheng left without looking back, which surprised the others.

When Chen Tianhe and Xiao Qianxi returned from the event, they overheard what the receptionist said, especially the fact that the receptionist had asked about Xiao Qianxi. After hearing the receptionist's description of Zhao Shucheng's appearance, they immediately realized that Zhao Shucheng had arrived.

"President Qin is coming today, Qianxi, why didn't you tell me?"

Xiao Qianxi shook her head and said, "President Chen, I didn't know Xiao Chuan was coming. Is it for work-related matters?"

"Maybe so, I'll call and ask. You should go back too, and give President Qin a call as well, maybe he needs to talk to you urgently?"

After seeing Xiao Qianxi leave, Chen Tianhe called Zhao Shucheng and said with a smile, "President Qin, why didn't you tell me you were coming today? I would have been waiting for you at the company. I just got back to find out as soon as you left."

Zhao Shucheng said, "I wouldn't dare trouble President Chen to wait for me. I just have something I'd like to ask President Chen. Is there something Qianxi did wrong that made you angry?"

Chen Tianhe asked in surprise, "No, why does President Qin ask that?"

"Why is Qianxi's schedule so packed every week that she doesn't even have time to eat?"

"President Qin, you've wronged me. I did find a lot of gigs for Qianxi, but I only let her choose some she liked. Who would have thought she would arrange so many gigs herself? I thought she was eager to become famous, and it was with your permission, so I let her do as she pleased. This is none of my business."

Zhao Shucheng said, "I knew President Chen wasn't the type to exploit employees. Qianxi has only recently become famous, and she's about to shoot an advertisement for our milk tea shop. I don't want her to look unhappy on camera. Although our milk tea shop is a mass-market brand that everyone can afford, it still has its own brand value and style."

"Qianxi accepts all offers for commercial performances and events. This may seem like making money, but in reality, it comes at the cost of our reputation. We don't want our brand value to be underestimated in the future."

Upon hearing this, Chen Tianhe nodded repeatedly and said, "President Qin, don't worry, I will definitely be more selective in the future and ensure that no shoddy work is used."

"That's good. If the market feedback is positive after this endorsement ends, we can certainly have more collaborations."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Tianhe wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said to President Lou beside him, "It seems that President Qin is not indifferent to Qianxi. We can reduce the number of announcements in the future and try to make them all high-quality. We don't want President Qin to call us again."

Mr. Lou said, "Mr. Chen, do you really need to be so respectful to a young upstart? He's just a small business owner with little connection to the entertainment industry. Why are you afraid of him?"

"What do you know? He doesn't just own bubble tea shops; he has many other businesses, especially in the internet industry. While he can't help us succeed, he can easily cause trouble. For example, he could set the names of our company's artists as sensitive words, preventing their news from appearing. What do you think the consequences would be?"

Mr. Lou asked in surprise, "Does he really have that much ability?"

"What do you think? Otherwise, why would I be praising Xiao Qianxi?" (End of Chapter)
