Chapter 641: Chapter 641: Chu Xiaoran’s Path to Stardom

Mu Yiqing recovered at the Sky Net Base for a while before returning to her own home. Mu Sihai was deeply traumatized by the incident, and after being rescued and waking up at the Sky Net Base, he left for a city in another region, feeling that he could no longer face his daughter.

Originally, with Xiao Zheng’s comfort, Mu Yiqing had already moved on from her previous pain, but learning of her father’s departure, she was deeply saddened for quite some time.

After all, this was her father! Although mediocre and not very reliable, they had depended on each other since she was young. Apart from the times when he was foolish, Mu Sihai had been very good to Mu Yiqing.

Mu Yiqing was a person who valued relationships deeply. Naturally, she felt uncomfortable with the knowledge that Mu Sihai had left like this.

Xiao Zheng found himself helpless in face of this situation. In fact, with his capabilities, finding Mu Sihai and bringing him back wouldn’t have been a difficult task, but he didn’t want to do so. Xiao Zheng was also quite accurate in his judgment of people,

knowing that even though Mu Sihai had gone through this ordeal, it was still uncertain whether he could change. Bringing him back wouldn’t necessarily be a good thing for Mu Yiqing.

However, this also created a problem. During this period, because of her father’s departure, Mu Yiqing’s mood was very low, and she had no will to go to work.

After Xiao Zheng’s comforting efforts and calling Mo Anna over, the two women had a long private talk, which finally helped Mu Yiqing to recover. She showed a smile on her face once again and was willing to go back to work.

Xiao Zheng was quite satisfied with this outcome.

Having gone through this event, Mu Yiqing had grown quite a bit.

...

Back at home, Xiao Zheng took a seat on the couch and was then surprised.

Chu Xiaoran was there at this time too, looking dispirited.

Curious, Xiao Zheng asked, "Little girl, what’s wrong?"

Chu Xiaoran pursed her lips, as if wanting to say something, but in the end, she just lowered her head.

Xiao Zheng frowned slightly.

At this time, Chu Xiaoran should have been at the talent agency receiving training. Usually, she would have been excited to go, but now she seemed downhearted, probably having encountered some sort of problem.

"Did you run into some trouble at the agency? Talk to me about it, and let’s think of solutions together," said Xiao Zheng as he patted Chu Xiaoran’s head, smiling.

Feeling the warmth from Xiao Zheng’s palm, Chu Xiaoran comfortably squinted her eyes before leaning back on the couch, looking somewhat lifelessly at the ceiling, and said, "It’s nothing serious, just some little problems."

Xiao Zheng chuckled and said, "I know you. You’ve obviously run into difficulty, but being the stubborn girl you are, you want to solve it on your own. But keeping it to yourself isn’t good either."

Chu Xiaoran, hearing this, also felt it made sense. She had indeed been feeling very despondent recently and had no one to confide in, causing her to feel extremely burdened.

Chu Xiaoran said, "Ah Zheng, let’s go out for a walk."

Xiao Zheng nodded, replying, "Okay."

The two walked outside.

The area around Yunlan Villa boasted beautiful scenery, with tall street trees along the roads, their large canopies casting wide shadows in the daytime and creating cool spots under the sunlight.

Looking into the distance, the mountains rose and fell with layers of clouds shrouding them, resembling the fairyland of the hills veiled in celestial mists, giving a transcendent and elusive allure.

Xiao Zheng and Chu Xiaoran were walking along a shady path.

"The development direction that our company has set out for me is not what I like," said Chu Xiaoran, her head lowered as they walked.

"Oh?" Xiao Zheng expressed surprise.

Chu Xiaoran’s face showed anger as she said, "After signing the contract, Glory Company started training us new recruits. However, after the training ended, the company management didn’t care about our opinions at all and decided our career paths for us."

Xiao Zheng smiled and asked, "What career path have they set for you? Is it something you don’t like? But what you’re best at is singing, and your basic conditions are good; from any perspective, they should have set your path in this area."

Chu Xiaoran nodded emphatically, her face flushed with anger, and said, "Exactly, that’s what they should do! But, the manager of the company didn’t do that. He... he..."

Her face suddenly turned red as she was speaking.

"What did he say?" Xiao Zheng inquired.

Chu Xiaoran’s chest heaved violently, clearly angered by the matter, and she said, "He said that I have a good figure and am pretty, but that my singing lacks the foundation.

If I start singing right away, it won’t attract attention, so he told me to take some high-definition sensual photoshoots and release them. Only after gaining some fame, he said, should you start singing. Hmph!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng’s brow furrowed as well, disapprovingly saying, "That manager actually set such a career path for you; no wonder you’re angry. Did you agree to it?"

Chu Xiaoran vehemently said, "How could I? Hmph, I refused on the spot! I haven’t gone to the training these past few days."

Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but laugh, remarking, "Looks like you do have quite the temper."

Chu Xiaoran confidently stated, "I may be determined to become a star, but I will never resort to such sleazy tactics. My goal is to win over the audience with my own talent. I will never agree to the development path set by Glory Entertainment Company."

Xiao Zheng nodded, commending her, "You did the right thing. You definitely shouldn’t agree to such things. It’s fine to aim for fame, but you can’t abandon everything for it."

Chu Xiaoran immediately showed a trace of worry on her face and said, "But... what if the company freezes me out for refusing?"

Xiao Zheng laughed heartily and said, "What’s there to fear, if they freeze you, then just switch to another company."

Chu Xiaoran shook her head and responded, "It’s not that easy, very difficult. The breakup fee alone is astronomical."

Xiao Zheng chuckled and said, "Xiao Ran, are you still worried about a breach of contract fee? Your sister is the CEO of Qianqiu Group, and your family background is not bad either, why worry about this?"

Chu Xiaoran shook her head and said, "My family has always been against me taking this path, and it would be awkward to borrow money from my sister.

Besides, I still kind of want to develop at that talent agency. The training I’ve received in the past has shown me their high level of professionalism. Unless absolutely necessary, I don’t really want to give up."
