Chapter 301

Song Ni asked about the livestream time. Chang Zi smiled and said, "In order to help you win, the livestream time is scheduled according to yours, whatever is convenient. As long as it's not in the early morning, the fans might not be able to handle it." Song Ni thought for a moment and accepted the invitation. Chang Zi heard the sound of water. "Your days studying abroad seem quite comfortable. Is it morning there now? No rush to class?" "It's okay. Tan Zheng will accompany me to class today. He's making breakfast now." Chang Zi was truly envious and couldn't help but start complaining to Song Ni about her recent troubles. "You have no idea how hard it is to be an agent. I finally found a promising talent, but this person is typical 'love-struck.' A few days ago, he was photographed, and guess what? This kid actually wants to go public with his relationship!" Even through the phone, Song Ni could feel Chang Zi's anger. "I announced my marriage from the start." Chang Zi: ... "Can you compare? He relies on making a living in the entertainment industry. Miss Song... oh, no, Mrs. Tan, you're just here to play. It's different, isn't it?" Chang Zi didn't understand these things. "Besides, the fan base for male artists is different from that for female artists. It's most damaging for male artists to be in a relationship." Song Ni played with the rose petals in the water and asked, "So, Sister Chang, why are you telling me all this?" Chang Zi seemed to be waiting for Song Ni's question. "Don't you really want to come back to the entertainment industry for a bit? For these past few months, I still feel like you're the one I most want to manage." Song Ni didn't refuse directly as she might have before, but instead said, "If I remember correctly, my contract should be signed under Tan's company. Don't you know?" Chang Zi: ... "Since when?" "Last year, I think. Tan Zheng mentioned it to me once, and I thought it didn't matter, so I just went along with it." Chang Zi: ... "Why don't you ask President Tan to sign me over too?" Song Ni couldn't help but laugh. "If Lu Fang knew you said that, he'd scold us for poaching. Why are you so insistent? Lu Shi Entertainment is one of the best in the industry. Do you really want to manage me that badly?" "Yes, you have no idea how exhilarating it is to personally create a superstar. It's absolutely amazing." Both of them laughed at this. They both knew that it was impossible for Song Ni to become a superstar. Song Ni wouldn't truly develop her career in the entertainment industry. At most, it would be the part that intersects with fashion and the entertainment industry. "When my studio opens, I'll have to rely on your artists to help promote my work." "Are my artists qualified to wear clothes you design?" Chang Zi, though not deeply knowledgeable about the fashion industry, did understand a little. This included the school Song Ni attended and the status of Song Ni's teacher in the fashion world. "As long as you need it." Chang Zi was silent for a long time. "Recently, a reality show for agents invited me. The production team asked me who I most wanted to invite as a guest, and I said you." Song Ni was taken aback. "But you're still in London." "I know, but my point is, Nini, I'm truly grateful to you." Song Ni smiled. "Shouldn't I be thanking you? You took care of me the whole time we were filming 'Jun Qi'." Chang Zi didn't know how to describe that feeling. After managing Song Ni, she clearly felt that no one in the industry dared to provoke her. For these past few months, her artists had been incident-free. The only time was when her own artist was incompetent and decided to go public. She didn't know if this was purely because of Lu Fang or if there were other factors. These past few months had been the most comfortable she had experienced since entering the entertainment industry. Because she had managed Song Ni, and Song Ni had trended a few times, everyone knew her background was not simple. No one dared to mess with Song Ni, and therefore, no one dared to mess with her. The long silence was enough for Song Ni to understand the reason. "Sister Chang, you can call me when you're filming the variety show." Chang Zi understood Song Ni's meaning. As soon as the call ended, Tan Zheng came upstairs. Song Ni, leaning on the edge of the bathtub, asked, "Do you think I can become a superstar?" The sudden question made Tan Zheng feel a bit nonsensical. Fortunately, the music Song Ni was listening to was her character's theme song from 'Jun Qi.' Tan Zheng reacted. "If my baby wants to, then of course she can." "Chang Zi just called me. She said there's a livestream tomorrow that I need to connect to." Tan Zheng's brow furrowed. "Tomorrow?" "What's wrong?" "Tomorrow I'm also off. I planned to take you out." Song Ni blinked. "It doesn't conflict. The livestream should be at most an hour. We can find a place to connect." As she spoke, Song Ni hugged Tan Zheng's neck. "So, you came back so late yesterday to make arrangements for these two days?" Tan Zheng picked Song Ni up. "Yes. There are a few nice places around here. I'll take you to see them." ... Because of yesterday's incident, Song Ni's classmates felt a greater sense of fear towards her. As soon as Song Ni sat down with Tan Zheng in the back of the classroom, many people turned their heads and then immediately turned them back, pretending not to see. Song Ni raised an eyebrow at this. Tan Zheng, however, squeezed her wrist. "What's going on?" The man quickly scanned the room and noticed that everyone's attitude towards Song Ni was a bit off. He was worried that Song Ni was being ostracized and might suffer in class. "I'll tell you after class." Song Ni's lips still held a smile. Tan Zheng pursed his lips and didn't ask further. Tan Zheng didn't understand these things, so he took a pen and paper and started drawing. At first, Song Ni thought Tan Zheng was just doodling, but after half an hour, a model of a race car appeared on the paper. Song Ni: ... His drawing skills made her feel inferior. Song Ni couldn't help but get distracted and asked, "Did you specifically learn to draw to study car modification?" Tan Zheng shook his head. "I didn't learn it specifically. I have a natural feel for it." Song Ni: ... Due to whispers, Song Ni was called up by the teacher. "Krist, can you share what you and your friend are discussing?" Song Ni stood up abruptly, unfazed, and told the truth. "We're discussing how to improve our drawing skills." The teacher put down his things, looking curious. "What's the conclusion of your discussion?" Song Ni coughed lightly. "My friend said there's no need to improve; they have this ability naturally." At this, the classroom erupted in laughter, and even the teacher chuckled. "Then can you let us witness how powerful this natural ability is?" As he spoke, the teacher walked over from the podium. Song Ni unhesitatingly pushed Tan Zheng. "..." The man shook his head helplessly and handed what he was holding to the teacher.
