Chapter 1749: Chapter 716: She’s Getting Cocky

"Looks like some people are starting to cultivate their own little schemes!"

Ding Yi, being smart enough, quickly guessed something and couldn’t help but laugh behind his hand.

"I wasn’t unprepared, I just didn’t expect... she would be so impatient."

Zhou Wang furrowed his brow, his expression slightly complex.

"Do you think this was her own idea?"

Ding Yi pondered.

"Could be, or maybe not."

Zhou Wang shrugged, "But it doesn’t matter."

"So... do you need me to handle it for you?"

Ding Yi showed a hint of cautiousness, inquiring.

"No need for that."

Zhou Wang shook his head, "Don’t worry, I’m not that fragile and sensitive... but after all, this is someone close to my senior, and if you intervene, she might still feel resentful in her heart, and I want to resolve it once and for all."

"Makes sense."

Ding Yi originally wanted to ask Zhou Wang what he planned to do, but he eventually held back, only pausing briefly before saying, "Then, promise me, if you need help..."

"Of course, I’m never one to stubbornly hold onto my pride."

Zhou Wang smiled as he spoke, seemingly not taking the matter to heart.

...

Beidu Hotel·Nuo Jin, located in the core area of East Chang’an Street, Beidu, adjacent to Wangfujing Commercial District, is a key part of Beidu Hotel, belonging to the flagship projects under the high-end luxury hotel brand "Nuo Jin".

Since it was a spontaneous decision, there wasn’t enough time for Chinese cuisine, so Linda could only choose the Western restaurant here as the venue for the gratitude dinner.

Luckily, she had dealt with the manager here a few times and maintained some previous connections. With the manager’s full assistance, a decent reception was prepared in a short period of time. When Linda arrived to inspect, she nodded in satisfaction.

"Mr. Zhao, thank you very much."

"Miss Qian, don’t mention it. I heard you were no longer with Chiya Film and Television, and was quite surprised. Now it seems you’re on the rise again, reaching new heights!"

Beidu Hotel manager Zhao Zhixiang chuckled and flattered.

Of course, Zhao Zhixiang didn’t just say these words at random. As the manager of Beidu Hotel, he’s used to dealing with wealthy and influential people, and the reason Linda had connections with him before was due to her successful years at Chiya Film and Television.

The artists she served were top-tier stars, and during those times, Nuo Jin Beidu Hotel was often the venue for their events, with Linda always in charge of negotiations, thus building some rapport between the two.

However, the last celebrity Linda served faced a tax issue, leading to a complete ban across the internet, implicating Linda and resulting in her departure from Chiya Film and Television.

Linda tried to stage a comeback, but other companies in the industry avoided her due to the stigma of the ban, leaving Linda in a semi-retired state, even contemplating leaving the circle for another career path.

It was during this time that Miss Wang, who collaborated with her before, reached out, leading to Linda becoming the agent for Jiang Mo.

As Jiang Mo’s agent, Linda was quite discreet and even considered changing her name to an English one...

The main reason was transitioning from an agent of a top domestic star to a manager for a piano girl with little fame; for Linda, the discrepancy felt quite embarrassing.

Only, tonight’s performance was a success, Linda sensed Jiang Mo was about to make a meteoric rise, stirring long-dormant ambitions within her.

Perhaps, like Mr. Zhao in front of her said, she has finally... turned her luck around.

In Huaxia’s piano scene, there are many successful male instances, even the notion of a "twin star," but among females, someone matching Lang Lang’s fame is extremely rare.

In terms of skill, there are outstanding females in specific fields, but none has reached Lang Lang’s breakthrough level in terms of fame.

Just as Zhou Wang said, Jiang Mo possesses such potential.

Her solid foundation, her striking looks, her clean background, her unique and moonlight-like cold charisma...

"The Yang Liping of the piano world."

This phrase isn’t a joke; after tonight, Linda could genuinely see this future.

But unfortunately... Zhou Wang is bankrupt at this time.

Initially, Linda was quite anxious upon hearing the news because Zhou Wang is the backer behind Jiang Mo, and if he went bankrupt, how would the studio continue operating?

She only relaxed upon hearing Zhou Wang assure that the studio’s operating funds wouldn’t be affected.

Later, Linda deliberately consulted Mr. Ren, who was more informed. Although Mr. Ren was somewhat vague, Linda got the information she wanted.

"Yes, there is talk of it, supposedly said by Mr. Zhou himself. Of course, I haven’t confirmed it directly with him."

These were Mr. Ren’s original words that Linda took to heart.

After thinking carefully, Linda suddenly realized this might not be a bad thing.

She obviously knew there was an unorthodox relationship between Jiang Mo and Zhou Wang, but from a career perspective, maintaining a single image was undoubtedly more advantageous for Jiang Mo.

Now that Zhou Wang is bankrupt, Jiang Mo will climb higher, and with Linda’s seasoned judgment, such a relationship inevitably won’t last long... perhaps in time, Zhou Wang might actually become a burden to Jiang Mo.
