AFVSIBS Chapter 222: Once Again Asking Zhou Chen's Mother to Persuade Him

After listening to Wan Fangfang's analysis, Li Qiankun also felt that Zhou Chen was too peculiar.

However, no matter how peculiar he was, Li Qiankun believed that parents were always the closest people, and having them try to persuade him couldn't go wrong.

So, he continued to instruct, "Regardless of their relationship, having his parents try to persuade him shouldn't be a mistake."

"Okay, I'll call his parents and communicate with them."

Wan Fangfang knew that there was no good news from Yang Hanhua, so she probably couldn't persuade Zhou Chen.

Now, the only hope was placed on Zhou Chen's parents.

After hanging up with Li Qiankun, she drank a cup of coffee to clear her thoughts and then called Zhou Chen's mother, Liang Ya.

The last time, she had also contacted Liang Ya.

After receiving Wan Fangfang's call, Liang Ya just said she would try to persuade him, but she wasn't sure if she could succeed.

Moreover, she always respected her son's choices.

So, after chatting with Wan Fangfang, she called Zhou Chen.

Seeing this unfamiliar yet familiar caller ID, Zhou Chen felt a bit stunned again.

Since crossing over to this Blue Star world, the thing he feared most was facing the original owner's family.

After all, in terms of thoughts, he wasn't the original owner, and in some ways, he was a stranger to the original owner's parents.

However, everything else was given by the original owner's parents.

Moreover, the original owner's relationship with his parents had always been very good.

The original owner's parents were very loving towards their son.

Zhou Chen had never called the original owner's parents to chat because he hadn't figured out how to balance these relationships.

"Mom, why are you suddenly calling? Did something happen at home?"

In the end, Zhou Chen still pressed the answer button and called out, "Mom."

He decided that since she was the original owner's mother, she was his mother too.

Having such a loving mother was not a bad thing.

Zhou Chen was willing to try to accept everything about the original owner.

"Chen, everything's fine at home, don't worry. It's just that your agent, Wan Fangfang, called me and said you refused the Spring Festival Gala invitation. Is that true?" Liang Ya said.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen didn't need to guess to know that Wan Fangfang hoped to persuade him through his mother.

She had done the same thing last time with the long-term contract.

But Zhou Chen wouldn't be angry because their ultimate goal was for his own good.

It's just that this "good" was not what he needed.

"Yes, Mom, that's true," Zhou Chen confirmed.

"What are your thoughts? Can you tell Mom? After all, I watched you grow up, and you always told me your troubles," Liang Ya said kindly.

"Mom, I don't want to live too stressed. Although attending the Spring Festival Gala can increase my visibility and boost my career, it's too exhausting and doesn't fit my habit of going to bed early and getting up early. Mom, don't worry about me. I can make some money now, so there's no need to work so hard for an opportunity," Zhou Chen explained.

"Alright, Mom respects your choice. Honestly, whenever I see news about young people suddenly dying from overwork, I worry if something will happen to you. After all, I've heard that you trainees work very hard. So, it's fine to refuse the Spring Festival Gala. Mom doesn't want you to be super successful or make lots of money; I just want you to be safe and healthy," Liang Ya said.

This is the greatness of being a parent.

Zhou Chen was very moved by this.

"Thanks, Mom. Send me your bank account number. I'll transfer fifty thousand yuan to you for living expenses. Don't be too frugal; buy whatever you want. If you need more money, just tell me."

"You silly child, why do I need your money? I still have some money in my account, enough to support myself. You keep it. When you get married, there will be many places you'll need to spend money. Alright, I have to go out now, so I won't disturb you. Take care of yourself and come home when you have time."

"Okay, I will."

Zhou Chen agreed casually.

But he still wasn't ready to meet the original owner's parents.

He needed some time to adjust himself.

But it wouldn't take too long; his plan was to wait until after the "International Music Festival."

Avoiding wasn't a solution. Since he chose to accept everything about the original owner, he naturally had to treat the original owner's parents as his own.

And from these two phone calls, the original owner's parents were indeed very understanding and loving.

Having such parents was very fortunate after crossing over.

Wan Fangfang, on the other hand, was very helpless after receiving Liang Ya's feedback.

"Assistant Li, there's no way now. Zhou Chen's mother, Liang Ya, just replied, saying she respects her son's choice."

Wan Fangfang called Li Qiankun back.

"Huh, this family is really strange."

"Yeah! There's no way. If his parents can't persuade him, I certainly can't either."

"Alright, I'll report this to President Chen and see how he wants to handle it."

Li Qiankun hung up and walked into Chen Jie’s office again.

"How did it go? Did Zhou Chen's parents succeed in persuading him?"

Chen Jie asked as soon as the assistant walked in.

Li Qiankun shook his head helplessly.

"What! Even his parents couldn't persuade him?"

"Yes! Now it seems if we want Zhou Chen to attend the Spring Festival Gala, the only way is for the Gala to change its time. Just like how the 'International Music Festival' changed its time."

"Assistant Li, the Spring Festival Gala is not the 'International Music Festival'; it won't easily change its broadcast time for any artist."

Yes, the Spring Festival Gala had been on air for decades and had never changed its schedule for any artist.

That's why Chen Jie was so certain.

"Then should we demand Zhou Chen attend the Spring Festival Gala in the name of the company?" Li Qiankun suggested their last resort.

"Actually, before you came in, I considered this too. But I ultimately dismissed the idea. If it were any other artist, there would be no hesitation; we would directly enforce it. But this person is Zhou Chen. His influence is too strong. If we force him using the company's name, it will strain our relationship. Although he won't sign a long-term contract, there are still three years left. In three years, he can bring us immense wealth with his influence," Chen Jie analyzed.

"President Chen's analysis is right. Zhou Chen is indeed both lovable and frustrating. Then we'll wait and see. Maybe things will change later."

"That's all we can do for now. Have Wan Fangfang communicate more with Zhang Ziwen to prevent any conflict between Zhou Chen and Zhang Ziwen. Otherwise, it will affect his ability to make money for us."
