AFVSIBS Chapter 58

 "Director Zhao, you misunderstood. I'm not throwing a tantrum, nor am I unwilling to return to the program. I simply made some personal requests to Zhang Chu Chu and the others, and if they agree, then I'll go back," Zhou Chen explained to Zhao An.


"What requests?" Zhao An asked curiously.


"I hope they won't interfere too much with my freedom, especially by forcing me to participate in activities I don't want to. And during these activities, as long as I don't break any rules or arrive late, they shouldn't interfere with me," Zhou Chen stated.


"I see..." Zhao An was taken aback by this request. Such demands were usually only granted to superstars, so it's no wonder Zhang Chu Chu and the others were reluctant to agree to Zhou Chen's terms. It would be hard for anyone to agree to such demands from a trainee who hadn't even debuted yet.


But Zhao An didn't care about that. He just wanted Zhou Chen back on the program to bring in massive traffic and ratings. So, after chatting with Zhou Chen for a bit, he had a sudden idea and went to find Manager Chen again.


"Director Zhao, what's up? Did Zhou Chen return to the nursing home? I was hoping to play table tennis with him this afternoon," Manager Chen asked when he saw Zhao An coming over.


"Chen Bo, it seems Zhou Chen won't be coming back here," Zhao An said deliberately.


"What! Not coming back? What's going on? Hasn't Wanhe asked him to come back yet?" 


"I heard that Zhou Chen made some requests to Wanhe, and his agent disagreed, so Zhou Chen refused to come back," Zhao An explained.


"What?! I'll make a call to see what's going on."


"Sure, thanks a lot."


Seeing Manager Chen making the call, Zhao An felt very happy. He knew that with Manager Chen's intervention, there might be a turning point in this situation.


Meanwhile, upon receiving a call from his father, Chen Jie learned about the situation and immediately instructed his assistant to pressure Zhang Chu Chu and the others again. He emphasized that if Zhou Chen didn't return to the nursing home before 3 p.m., then Zhang Chu Chu should be fired immediately. His assistant, Li Qian Kun, understood Chen Jie's frustration, so when he went to talk to Zhang Chu Chu, he made sure to emphasize the importance of the matter.


"Assistant Li, it's not that I'm unwilling to take Zhou Chen back, it's just that he's being unreasonable with his demands," Zhang Chu Chu said, feeling aggrieved.


"This is your responsibility. Anyway, Manager Chen has made it clear that if you can't bring Zhou Chen back to the nursing home before 3 p.m., then you can collect your salary from the finance department tomorrow and leave. The same goes for your husband," Li Qian Kun said sternly.


"Alright, I'll try to figure something out," Zhang Chu Chu reluctantly agreed. At this point, she had no choice but to accept the situation.

After Li Qian Kun left, she adjusted her mindset and mood, then went back to the trainee's accommodation area to find Zhou Chen.


Zhou Chen was still enjoying his coffee and reading his book, feeling the comfort that the slow life brought him at this moment.


"Zhou Chen, can you open the door?" Zhang Chu Chu rang the doorbell and spoke directly.


"Why are you here again, Zhang Jie? If I remember correctly, your husband, Manager Wang, just left not long ago, right?" Zhou Chen said a bit impatiently.


"You're right, my husband just left not long ago. It's because he talked to me after he went back, so I came to talk to you," Zhang Chu Chu smiled awkwardly and explained.


"Alright, go ahead, I'm listening," Zhou Chen said.


"We can agree to your request, but you must promise me to go back to the nursing home and participate in the activities properly. You can't be eliminated during the process, otherwise, your request won't count," Zhang Chu Chu said.


Zhang Chu Chu could only think of this compromise, and she had no other choice at the moment. In order to keep her job and her husband's future, she could only let Zhou Chen go back for now. As long as she and her husband, Manager Wang, were still at Wanhe, there would be countless opportunities to deal with Zhou Chen again.


Moreover, if Zhou Chen was eliminated during the upcoming program activities, then his demands wouldn't matter anyway.


"Okay, deal," Zhou Chen agreed.


Zhou Chen achieved what he wanted, so naturally, he wouldn't refuse. Besides, he only planned to slack off, not do nothing at all. There was a difference between the two concepts. Since it was about participating in activities, he would naturally do what he was supposed to do during the activity time.


"Alright, pack your things and come back with me to the nursing home. Wait, according to the official announcement of the program group's voting time, you can't go back so early. Otherwise, people will suspect something. How about this, we'll leave at 2:30. You should rest for a while first," Zhang Chu Chu suddenly changed her mind.


She had her own thoughts in mind. She deliberately delayed the time, so that Zhou Chen would return to the nursing home later and have less time to prepare for the program. In this way, even if Zhou Chen returned, due to the rushed preparation, his talent might not be fully demonstrated. Without a good performance, he might be eliminated, and then he wouldn't cause any trouble. She could find a suitable time to deal with him again. It was simply a piece of cake.


"Okay, then I'll take a nap after lunch and go back after waking up in the afternoon," Zhou Chen said nonchalantly, then continued reading his book after briefly speaking with Zhang Chu Chu.


At this moment, Zhang Chu Chu left tactfully.


"How did it go, Chu Chu? Did that kid agree to come back to the nursing home and continue participating in the activities?" Wang Wei asked eagerly when he saw Zhang Chu Chu return.


"We agreed to his request, so he naturally won't say anything," Zhang Chu Chu replied.


"Then why don't you hurry up and take him back? So that Chen Jie won't get angry again," Wang Wei reminded.


"What's the rush? Chen Jie's intention is to have him back at the nursing home before 3 p.m. The time is still early now. I've figured it out. We need to time it to send him back to the nursing home. In this way, even if Zhou Chen returns, he won't have a good performance in tonight's talent show because of the short preparation time. With a bad performance, he will face numerous criticisms. Then we can deal with him more effectively," Zhang Chu Chu explained her little trick to her husband, Wang Wei...

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...
