AFVSIBS Chapter 21: Even the director of the program felt regret for him


Zhao An had a deep understanding of the entertainment industry, so he was very clear about Zhou Chen's upcoming fate.


Although he was reluctant to let Zhou Chen leave the program, he felt helpless about it.


"Director Zhao, how about this, we can say we can't replace Zhou Chen. If they want to remove Zhou Chen, then Wanhe Entertainment will have to leave one trainee position vacant."


Assistant Qin Haishan thought for a moment, then offered his suggestion.


"Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. But even if we come up with this compromise, I don't think there's much hope for Zhou Chen to continue on the program."


After saying that, Zhao An once again felt regret for Zhou Chen's future prospects.


"Director Zhao, we've finally managed to create a program with a rating over 2.5, and it looks like we have a chance to break 3.0. We can't just give up like this. How about you talk to Zhou Chen about it?"


"Talk to Zhou Chen? I don't think it's necessary. If he's truly decided to give up and let go, it wouldn't make much sense for an outsider like me to persuade him. I believe Zhang Chuchu must have tried to persuade him before. And it's because they couldn't agree that they had conflicts."


"No, Director Zhao, you misunderstand me. I'm not asking you to persuade Zhou Chen not to give up. I'm asking you to persuade him to apologize to Zhang Chuchu. He still has about two or three years left on his contract with Wanhe Entertainment. In fact, being frozen by Zhang Chuchu isn't a good choice for him. Even if he decides to give up, there's no need to give up this opportunity." Assistant Qin Haishan analyzed.


"You make sense, continue."


"Now Zhou Chen has become popular online on the first day, and Zhang Chuchu must have noticed it. I believe she has also wavered on whether to continue taking Zhou Chen away and freezing him. It's just that Zhou Chen has confronted her in front of so many people these past two days, challenging her authority, so she resolutely continued to execute her plan. But if Zhou Chen apologizes to her, maybe the outcome will be different. After all, she doesn't want Wanhe's potential star to disappear like this." Qin Haishan continued to analyze.


Upon hearing this, Zhao An carefully considered it and felt it made sense.


The only turning point in this matter now was to persuade Zhou Chen to apologize to Zhang Chuchu.


So, he immediately said, "Okay, I'll go find Zhou Chen later. We must settle Zhou Chen's thoughts before they take him away."


"He's currently at the lotus pond in the nursing home. He probably hasn't left yet."


"The lotus pond? What's he doing there? How do you know?" Zhao An couldn't help but be curious.


"He just posted on Weibo, it seems like he's there to relax." Qin Haishan replied.


"Alright, I'll leave the work here to you. I'll go over and talk to Zhou Chen now."


After saying that, Zhao An immediately put down his work and came to the pavilion by the lotus pond.


Sure enough, Zhou Chen was sitting here quietly admiring the lotus flowers.


"Zhou Chen, you truly have a refined taste. While other trainees are practicing after the program ends, you're here alone appreciating the lotus flowers."


Zhao An walked over and said with a smile.


"Director Zhao, why did you come here? Please have a seat."


Seeing Zhao An approaching, Zhou Chen was also quite surprised and invited him to sit down and admire the lotus flowers together.


"I came here to talk to you about something, I hope I'm not disturbing you."


"Not at all, go ahead, what do you need?"


"You've been quite popular online recently, your Weibo followers suddenly increased by three hundred thousand. Congratulations, your first appearance on a variety show had such a good effect."


Zhao An didn't choose to dive straight into the topic, but first praised Zhou Chen's performance today.


"Thank you, but I don't really care. I'm grateful to the program team for giving trainees opportunities, and I appreciate the support from the fans." Zhou Chen replied.


"You're quite unique. I rarely hear trainees say they don't care about these things. Perhaps that's why you're so popular."


"Thank you, Director Zhao. So, what's the matter? I'm all ears."


"Okay, I won't beat around the bush. I heard you've had a quarrel with your agent these past few days, and she might freeze you after the program. Is that true?"


"Kind of, but I don't care. I'm tired of this life. I'd rather sit quietly like this, enjoying the breeze and the fragrance of lotus flowers." Zhou Chen answered.


"In my opinion, you don't need to. Even if you decide to quit the entertainment industry and not continue to develop in this field, I think you can still succeed through this program and then retire. Otherwise, think about it, your contract with Wanhe Entertainment probably won't end so soon, right? After being frozen, you won't be able to do anything during the contract period, which is not good for you personally."


Zhao An analyzed Zhou Chen's situation, trying to persuade him.


"Director Zhao, are you trying to persuade me to give up on my plan to let go and fly?"


"No, that's your plan already, so I naturally won't try to persuade you. What I mean is you can apologize to Zhang Chuchu and continue to stay on the program. After the program, you can plan your next move." Zhao An didn't hide his intentions and directly stated them.


At this point, Zhou Chen finally understood the real reason why Zhao An came to find him.


"Sorry, I don't care. I appreciate your program, and I think it's meaningful. But I don't care whether I can stay on the program or not. I know that even if I become popular online today, even if I rank first in the online voting, I will still be taken away and frozen because I offended Zhang Chuchu." Zhou Chen also bluntly expressed his thoughts.


This disappointed Zhao An.


After all, he was hoping that Zhou Chen would apologize to Zhang Chuchu and continue to stay on the program.


Who would have thought that Zhou Chen would have such an attitude.


But he didn't give up. In order for the program to break the 3.0 rating, he had to find a way to keep Zhou Chen.


So, after thinking for a while, Zhao An continued to persuade, "Why bother? Even if you want to let go and fly, there's no need to choose this moment. You can do it after the program. This way, you can prove to everyone that you are talented and capable of surviving in the entertainment industry. It's just that you don't want to do it, so you decide to let go and fly. In life, the most important thing is to prove your talent to others, isn't it?"

RAAS **Chapter 2: Talent Show**

 **Chapter 2: Talent Show** Today was the day Li Qing would make his comeback after a year of being sidelined. Through Han Han’s relentless efforts, the company finally relented and allowed Li Qing to participate in "Star of Music"! This meant that today was Li Qing’s first public appearance after being away from the entertainment industry for a whole year. Of course, it could also be his last… If Li Qing’s performance was as disappointing as it was a year ago, he would continue to be sidelined indefinitely until his contract with the company expired. However, this opportunity was more of a desperate measure than a real chance to boost his popularity. Unless he could stun the audience and create a significant impact, his comeback would be short-lived. Given his previous abilities, the likelihood of Li Qing astonishing everyone was slim to none. Moreover, one of the judges this time was Zhao Wendi, a member of the former Fire Boy duo. This was a setup; the company had no inten...
