"Dad, what do you think?" Qiao Sen's daughter asked. "I feel that Tangning is a very serious person. If anyone else invited you, I would never agree. But, if it's Tangning, you should think about it."
Qiao Sen crossed his arms as he watched the film.
That night, he watched all of Tangning's films over and over again. In the end, he had to admit that as an actress, Tangning had moved him.
"Help me contact her."
"Haiz, I knew you were going to go back on your word, so I already picked up her name card from the trash," Qiao Sen's daughter said as she placed the crumpled name card in front of Qiao Sen.
Qiao Sen hesitated for quite some time. In the end, he gave Tangning a call the next morning …
…
In the industry, there were a lot of people that wanted to sign with Tangning through their connections. Long Jie and Lin Qian both had information on a lot of artists. But, Tangning had gone to a private island. This meant that she would be focusing on filming a high quality sci-fi film. Perhaps, she wouldn't be signing any artists for the time being.
Over the next two days, apart from checking up on Xia Hanmo's situation overseas, Lin Qian spent most of her time at home recharging her batteries.
If Quan Ziye had activities during the day, he would attend them. If he didn't, he would stay at home to keep Lin Qian company. Even though, Lin Qian didn't seem to care about him.
It was almost Father Quan's 60th birthday, but Lin Qian didn't mention a word about it. It seemed, she didn't want to see the Quan Family.
On the third morning, Tangning returned with some good news and Director Qiao Sen.
Lin Qian returned to Tangning's side. She wanted to meet the master of sci-fi.
Qiao Sen was indeed a fan of sci-fi. As soon as he arrived in Beijing, he did not say a single word to Tangning and the two hit it off immediately. However, filming a sci-fi film could take up to a few years. Especially during post-production, it was especially long. So, Qiao Sen told Tangning to be mentally prepared.
Tangning took out all her savings and decided to invest it in post-production. She also told Qiao Sen to find a team that he could trust. As long as he could guarantee that the film would be worth the investment.
Qiao Sen admired Tangning's courage. Of course, he was also prepared to show off his ambitions.
After everything was settled, Tangning sat in her office resting. At this time, Lin Qian knocked on the door and asked, "Do you have any plans for tomorrow night?"
"What's wrong?" Tangning asked.
"I'm going to attend my adoptive father's sixtieth birthday party." Lin Qian shrugged. Actually, it wasn't hard to tell from her tone that she didn't want to go at all.
"Quan Ziye's father?" Tangning raised an eyebrow. She was aware that a lot of things had happened between Lin Qian and Mother Quan. Perhaps, it was because Mother Quan felt that Lin Qian was an adopted child. So, she felt that Lin Qian should repay a debt of gratitude. Because of this, Lin Qian had suffered a lot of pressure.
"That's right." After speaking, Lin Qian turned to leave, but Tangning stopped her.
"Wait a minute," Tangning said as she handed her car keys to Lin Qian. "I think you need these …"
"A successful career is the best way for a woman to fight back against those who look down on her."
Lin Qian smiled in agreement, but she did not take the keys from Tangning, "Don't worry, I know what to do."
Lin Qian knew that Tangning was afraid that she would be humiliated.
But, she wasn't the Lin Qian of the past. She wasn't going to be sold off so easily.
The next day, Quan Ziye was dressed in a suit. But, seeing that Lin Qian had not left yet, he pushed open the study room door, "Why aren't you leaving?"
"You can go home first. I still have some unfinished business on hand."
"You're not coming with me?"
"Why must I go with you?" Lin Qian asked.
Quan Ziye knew that Lin Qian couldn't act naturally when it came to her parents. But, her willingness to go was already the biggest compromise she could make. So, he quietly closed Lin Qian's door and asked his manager to drive over.
"Isn't Qian Qian going home?" the manager asked curiously as soon as she saw Quan Ziye walk out on his own.
"Give her some time."
After speaking, Quan Ziye boarded his car. But, before he left, he subconsciously glanced over at Lin Qian's room.
After Quan Ziye left, Lin Qian closed the documents in her hands and walked calmly towards the wardrobe...
...
For the Quan Family's birthday celebration, the retro villa was decorated lavishly. On the surface, the couple were hosting a banquet, but their ultimate goal was to let Quan Ziye meet the heiresses of the various families. Perhaps, once he took a liking to one of them, he would no longer focus on the entertainment industry.
Plus, Father Quan hated it when Quan Ziye stayed in the entertainment industry. It was a complete waste of time!
At this moment, Father Quan and Mother Quan were mingling with the guests. Not long after, a black-suited Quan Ziye appeared at the banquet.
He was, after all, handsome, confident and had a natural flirtatious aura. Quan Ziye's appearance immediately attracted the attention of many women. This made Mother Quan's face light up.
"Ziye, what took you so long? Uncles have been waiting for you..."
"Today is Dad's birthday. Why were you waiting for me?" Quan Ziye asked.
"Let me tell you, your Auntie Li's heiress has finally returned from studying abroad. This is her first time at our house, so she's not familiar with the place. Why don't you show her around..."
As soon as Quan Ziye heard this, he humphed and looked at Mother Quan mockingly, "Mom, where's Qian Qian?"
Mother Quan's expression suddenly turned sour, "Why did you mention her if you have nothing to do?"
"She's my sister. Why can't I mention her?"
"She's just an outsider!" Mother Quan turned her face away in disgust. "Go and greet Auntie Li's daughter for me."
Quan Ziye did not reject Mother Quan's request as he walked over to Heiress Li's side. She was beautiful and had a good figure, but Quan Ziye did not want to take a second glance at her.
"Ziye, did I make things difficult for you?" The woman had a good impression of Quan Ziye. After all, if she could conquer a monster like Quan Ziye, it would be a great honor.
Quan Ziye was annoyed by the woman asking a question he already knew the answer to, so he replied, "Yes, it was difficult."
"Uh... I heard you have a sister. Where is she?"
At the mention of Lin Qian, Quan Ziye's expression changed slightly.
"That's not something you should be asking about," Quan Ziye said as he hid to the side.
Seeing that Heiress Li was confused, the others immediately stepped forward to explain, "Quan Ziye is the only child in the Quan Family. Lin Qian was adopted by the Quan Family, so she's not their biological daughter. I heard that Lin Qian doesn't know how to be grateful, so no one in the Quan Family likes her. She's now in the entertainment industry. "
"What about Quan Ziye? What's his attitude towards his sister? "Heiress Li asked.
