Chapter 525 - Jiang Yimeng's Olive Branch

Chapter 525 Jiang Yimeng’s Olive Branch

Director Zhou, who could be among the best agents in the entertainment industry, must have social experience and wisdom.

Since she had promised to handle this problem, she must have some confidence, and she planned to do this with two steps.

The first step: She would ask the team leaders of Ninghai Academy of Arts and Shuzhou Conservatory of Music to emotionally and reasonably persuade the participants or threat to expel them if necessary.

The second step: She planned to talk to Sister Lan. Although the two of them rivaled against each other openly and privately and criticized each other when they met, they did so on proper occasions.

Under the eyes of the crowd, they would look kind to each other and even whisper to each other like close friends, and those who did not know them would think that they were close friends.

But people never knew that they gave their most sincere and closest smiles to each other in public, but they cursed the family members of each other in whispers in private.

The team leader of Ninghai Academy of Arts was a female teacher, who was surnamed Chen in her 30s and had a pair of glasses. Being slender, she looked thin, weak, and gentle, somewhat like a young literatus.

The team leader of Shuzhou Conservatory of Music was a male teacher surnamed Liu in his 40s, who was tall and had a ponytail, looking unbridled, and full of artistic air.

When the two of them came back from the rehearsal with the students, they rested in their rooms and did not know about the shocking event outside. When the person sent by Director Zhou to ask them to go downstairs, they still looked puzzled.

When they came downstairs and saw the crowd of over 1,000 people, they were worried. “Oops, something must have happened.”

Director Zhou did not treat them friendly and only vaguely said that their students had offended the people they could not afford to offend but refused to apologize and had also threatened them with the words of withdrawing from the competition.

Before they could ask about the details, she had arrogantly given them the order that they must persuade the competitors who had announced their withdrawal to finish their roles in the competition; otherwise, the schools where they came from would be expelled from the Campus-star Competition in the future.

Teacher Liu instantly became anxious and accepted the task in the manner of a yes-man. Before clearly asking about the details of this matter, he had patted his chest to promise that he would never let Pan Xiangyun withdraw. Otherwise, he would be expelled by their school.

Teacher Chen looked gentle, but she was extremely staunch with moral integrity in her bones. If not so, she who had excellent artistic talent would never have only been an ordinary teacher at Ninghai Academy of Arts.

Besides, she was very clear about the character of Ye Huan and her sister. They were very kind and would never try to make trouble, so she did not believe what Director Zhou said at all.

But she knew that she could not get the truth from the domineering Director Zhou, so she went straight to Ye Huan and her sister to ask about the details.

Seeing that the two teachers had already gone to carry out her plan, Director Zhou forced a stiffen smile and went to Sister Lan to persuade her.

When Sister Lan saw Director Zhou’s hypocritical smile, she felt disgusted as if she had swallowed a fly. She wanted to ignore her, but if she avoided her in public, she herself would look too mean.

“Sister Lan, long time no see. Let two of us have a talk alone.”

Director Zhou said with a foxy smile.

Sister Lan would have wished to refuse her, but when remembering the current situation, she could not help wondering, “Has Zhou Fang finally come to me to ask for help? Haha, I shouldn’t miss the chance to humiliate her.”

Then, she said with a radiant smile, “Is it not suitable for you to say anything here, Little Fang?”

Zhou Fang’s mouth twitched twice, and she almost spat blood out of anger. “Bitch, I am a few years older than you, am I not? You call me Little Fang? I think I can be Li Chunbo (a Chinese singer, songwriter, and director)!”

But Zhou Fang had to submit in a disadvantageous situation. Even if she almost exploded in anger, she had to take a lowly attitude to say, “Sister Lan, it’s not suitable to say something here because there are many people. Let’s have a talk in a quiet place.”

Seeing her old enemy in the grievance, Sister Lan instantly had great joy, which she had never had before, but she knew that she had to leave room for maneuver; otherwise, she would be criticized for being narrow-minded.

Then, she said in a reserved attitude, “Okay, Little Fang, since you want to whisper something to me, let’s go to a quiet place.”

Wearing a smile showing that they were close friends, the two top agents walked with their arms held together to an area where no one would disturb them and then began to discuss the matter with sharp tongues.

No one knew what they had said and only knew that when the two of them came out again a few minutes later, Zhou Fang raised her head proudly, while Sister Lan, who did not have to hang her head like a defeated rooster, looked very worried.

“Would you like to join our Tiangong Entertainment, Ye Huan, Ye Le, and Pan Xiangyun?”

After making numerous excuses, Jiang Yimeng finally said her purpose. Of course, what she wanted most was to do Ding Ning a favor.

Ye Huan, her sister, and Pan Xiangyun were all stunned, unable to speak for a long time. What did they rehearse day and night for? No doubt, they wanted to amaze the world with their brilliant feats, then get high ranks, then get noticed by entertainment companies, and finally become contracted singers.

But they did not expect that their happiness came so suddenly. After they announced to withdraw for keeping their dignity, Jiang Yimeng gave them such a big surprise, so how could they not go wild with joy?

However, they did not show their attitude, but turned to Ding Ning in unison, waiting for him to make a decision.

Teacher Liu, who had come angrily, wanting to scold Pan Xiangyun, happened to hear these words. Immediately, he became sunny, showing a surprised look and could not wait to urge her by saying, “Xiangyun, accept the offer right now. This is an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”

Pan Xiangyun looked at him politely, greeted him coolly by calling him “Teacher Liu”, and then immediately turned to Ding Ning, asking, “What do you say, Ningning? I will do as you say.”

“Do as he says? Who do you think he is? This is the opportunity Teacher Jiang Yimeng gives you, and you have to know what is right and what is wrong! Don’t make mistake after mistake!”

Teacher Liu reprimanded Pan Xiangyun fiercely. According to Zhou Fang, Pan Xiangyun ignored her future and stupidly withdrew because of this young man.

Pan Xiangyun frowned instantly. She acted at Ding Ning’s beck and call not because she fell in love with him, but because she was moved by his words “Dignity is more important than dreams”. More importantly, he was her idol.

She was not stupid. On the contrary, she was very smart. No matter what condition he faced, Ding Ning always behaved calmly, and then she realized that Ding Ning was never so ordinary as he looked. Moreover, the pride in her bones did not allow her to bow down to anyone, so she resolutely chose to make a bet and stand in line with him.

She believed her eyes. “Initially, Ye Huan and her sister were strangers to Ding Ning, but he could go to help them. This shows that he is a very responsible man, absolutely. Even if I withdraw from the competition, he will give me a satisfying arrangement.”

It turned out that she won the bet because Tiangong Entertainment was offering her an olive branch, but however confident she was, she knew how hard a newcomer’s life could be in the entertainment industry, and she did not believe that Jiang Yimeng really appreciated her potential and then invited her to join her company.

Since Ding Ning’s attitude toward Jiang Yimeng was cool, they could not be lovers, but Jiang Yimeng acted to do him a favor, so the meaning of it was even more intriguing.

Since she saw it very clearly, she behaved more respectfully toward Ding Ning and obeyed every one of his arrangements. Before getting his permission, she would not take the liberty to accept the offer no matter how much she wanted to join Tiangong Entertainment, for she knew that if she made Ding Ning unhappy, even if she joined Tiangong Entertainment successfully, she would not have the chance to have her day.

However, before getting the truth, Teacher Liu made known his position here willfully, so she was shocked and angry, afraid that Ding Ning would become unhappy and hate her.

But she, who did not know Ding Ning’s character, wondered if she would give him a bad impression of not respecting her teachers by contradicting Teacher Liu.

So, she fell into a serious dilemma. After she pondered for a moment, ready to speak something indirectly, Jiang Yimeng squinted at Teacher Liu and shouted unceremoniously, “Who are you? Don’t you know it is impolite to interrupt others at will?”

Teacher Liu was a teacher of the conservatory of music, but his status was not comparable to that of the superstar like Jiang Yimeng at all. After he was refuted, his face turned purple and red. He wanted to get angry but had no guts, and had to introduce himself with a flattering smile, “I’m Liu Wenxin. I am…”

“I’m not interested in your name, but please don’t disturb us when we talk.”

After staying with Bai Qing for a long time, she was infected by him and naturally gave off a kind of air of someone in a high position, which drove away all Teacher Liu’s arrogance in an instant, and he nodded and bowed, saying, “I’m leaving, I’m leaving now.”

When he left, he eyed Pan Xiangyun secretly with a signal that she must take this opportunity. Tiangong Entertainment was just a few-year-old new entertainment company, but it was only after the long-established entertainment companies in growth momentum and could possibly become the top entertainment giant in Shenzhou.

If Pan Xiangyun could join it and then get the appreciation of Jiang Yimeng, the First Sister in Tiangong, she would have better development than in any other entertainment company.

If his student could be a superstar, he, her teacher, would also have honor. With the glory of having trained a superstar, he would not need to worry about having no one to be his students in the future, would he?

As for the words Director Zhou used to threaten him that Shuzhou Conservatory of Music would be expelled from the Campus-star Competition in the future, he had thrown them aside because that was the headache of the school leaders and had nothing to do with him. As long as he had the reputation of being the tutor of a celebrity, he could have enough glory.

Ding Ning had been looking indifferent and did not show his attitude. Although Teacher Liu had offended him, he did not take it to heart and was even a little moved by him because he showed his worry about Pan Xiangyun.

Why did Jiang Yimeng suddenly become so domineering? He knew that she wanted to win his appreciation, so he could not help heaving a sigh in his mind, “In the society of human relationships, human relationships are seen everywhere indeed!”

He had to admit that what Jiang Yimeng did made him feel very comfortable, and she clearly knew what he wanted. Although he was not willing to let Ye Huan and her sister enter the entertainment industry, he did not want to selfishly control their lives.

The olive branch Jiang Yimeng offered was just what he wanted. Most importantly, if Jiang Yimeng watched them, these girls could grow in a relatively clean environment and would not be driven into a dead end by the hideous hidden rules.

Therefore, Ding Ning ignored Teacher Chen, who had come silently and had been listening very politely on the side without uttering a word to disturb anyone, and directly made the decision for the three of them. “Then, I have to ask Girl Jiang to take care of my three sisters.”

He did not say anything to thank her or any words of courtesy as if this was what she should do.

Teacher Chen was a little worried, but did not expect Jiang Yimeng to beam with joy, and the latter even promised hurriedly, “Childe Ding, don’t worry. I will train them like training my sisters.”

So, Teacher Chen’s look at Ding Ning was full of curiosity. “Childe Ding? Which big family does this Childe come from so that Jiang Yimeng could fawn on him so much? Ye Huan and her sister are really lucky to have such a good brother!”

She learned his implication. “The indifferent words Ding Ning said contain a serious warning: I have given my three sisters to you, but if you can’t take care of them, I’ll settle accounts with you.”

Suddenly, she remembered the event that happened at the gate of Ninghai Academy of Arts not a long time ago and shocked the entire city. “It is said that the cause of death of the local tyrants, the father and his son of the Gu Family, was the brother of Ye Huan and her sister.”
