Xu Chang had come up with this idea just the night before. If Wen Nian was willing to join, he intended to sell one of his limited edition CDs and have the Wen family hire a tutor to join the production crew to provide one-on-one tutoring sessions.

Wen Nian was taken aback by the offer. Hiring six teachers for six different subjects would be expensive, and finding high-quality instructors would only add to the cost. It would likely cost at least 100,000 yuan to hire a tutor for two months.

However, no matter what plan Xu Chang gave, Wen Xing remained unwilling. He couldn’t grasp the complexities of the entertainment industry.

However, entertainment news outlets, newspapers, and weekly publications all wrote about the unspoken rules for achieving success in the industry. Those who refused to comply with the company’s demands would be suppressed, suspended, and subjected to various scams, including exorbitant breach of contract fees. contemporary romance

Furthermore, there was no privacy. Wen Nian would be followed and photographed by entertainment reporters all day.

Zhou Mei emerged from the kitchen and waved her hand, firmly rejecting the offer. “No, no! We won’t go even if you hire a gold-medal teacher. Sir, you’ve been sitting here all afternoon. If you’re here just to sit, I welcome you. But if you’re here to drag my daughter into filming, I’ll kick you out right now!”

“Even if people misunderstand that we’re bullying customers, I won’t let you sit here!”

Observing the Wen couple’s resistance, Xu Chang paused for a moment before speaking, “I can see that you think I’m a liar, and that’s why you don’t want Wen Nian to join the production team. I understand that my previous film wasn’t famous, but our company is legitimate. If you’re still worried, you can follow the production team and participate in the filming process the whole time.”

When Wen Xing heard this, he and Zhou Mei exchanged a glance. They could see Xu Chang’s sincerity and decided to express their thoughts directly. “Director Xu, as parents, we hope that Wen Nian can have a stable and secure future. We don’t expect her to become wealthy or famous. As long as she’s healthy, safe, has a stable job in the future, and a happy family, that’s all that matters to us.”

“The entertainment industry is indeed complicated, and as parents, we want our child to have a happy and stable life. So I’m sorry, but we’re not interested. Please find someone else,” Wen Xing reiterated his stance.

There were too many cases of child stars being exploited by their parents and treated as money-making machines in the entertainment industry. Xu Chang was accustomed to seeing the dark side of fame and fortune in the industry. Hearing the Wen couple’s sincere concern for their daughter’s well-being and happiness, he was even more impressed. However, this also meant that it would be more challenging for him to persuade the Wen family to let Wen Nian join the production team.

However, despite the Wen couple’s reluctance, there was still a glimmer of hope. The more they cared about their daughter, the more it became clear to Wen Nian that she also had a strong interest in acting. This realization became a potential breakthrough in the matter.

Xu Chang glanced at Wen Nian, who had been standing at the side without saying anything. “I understand what the parents are thinking. However, Wen Nian, what are your real thoughts?”

Wen Nian was taken aback for a moment before looking at Xu Chang and replying, “I think the same as my parents.”

Xu Chang noticed the momentary pause from Wen Nian and felt a glimmer of hope. However, when he saw the Wen couple’s watchful gazes, he realized it was not the right time to have a detailed conversation with Wen Nian.

Xu Chang smiled and took his leave, “Since you’re insistent, I’ll take my leave now. But I will definitely come to your noodle shop again to eat some noodles. Big Sister’s braised meat is superb. I’ve never tasted such delicious food in the capital. Truly, experts are hidden among the common people!”

When Zhou Mei heard this, she knew that Xu Chang had no intention of leaving Hai City immediately. Her heart raced, but she wasn’t someone who ruled this city, so she couldn’t force him to leave. She could only force a smile and reply, “Sure, I hope you’ll just come for noodles next time.”

Xu Chang smiled and didn’t say anything. His wretched face looked even more despicable.

After Xu Chang left, the couple looked at Wen Nian with concern. The entertainment industry’s allure to young people was too strong. There were very few who didn’t dream of becoming a dazzling celebrity, wearing beautiful clothes all day, going to luxurious venues, and enjoying the feeling of being pursued by tens of thousands of people.

Wen Nian looked at her parents’ expressions and naturally knew what they were thinking. “Dad, Mom, I don’t plan to enter the entertainment industry. Don’t worry.”

Zhou Mei smiled when she heard this. As long as Wen Nian made up her mind not to go, they were not afraid that Director Xu would come again.

In the house of the Huang Family.

Huang Yue was watching a video that was going viral on Hai City’s high school forum. In the video, the girl’s elegant posture while playing the piano, the endless applause, and the posts below the video that were shouting “Goddess” were all provoking her.

Huang Yue was so angry that her chest felt stuffy and her eyes turned red.. She gritted her teeth and shouted, “Wen Nian!”
