Hua Yan stood up and gave her a sideways glance from above: "How it was done isn’t important, what matters is, as long as you don’t provoke in the future, I definitely won’t provoke you. Although you’ve lost ten million, you’ve avoided a lot of tornt. Here’s so advice out of goodwill: know when to stop. Don’t let greed cost you your life. And, n are unreliable; the only person you can depend on is yourself. When it cos to going abroad, just forget it; the air in our country is actually sweeter than abroad. Take care, and let’s never et again!"
Dai Jiuarong was left watching Hua Yan’s slightly disheveled yet still straight-backed figure, lost in thought for a while, without moving.
Half an hour later, she suddenly picked up her phone and dialed a number.
"I think, I’ve thought it through. Let’s et up and lay everything on the table!"
Leaving the Western Restaurant, Hua Yan glanced back at the indistinct face behind the glass window, the corners of her mouth lifting in relief.
"Good advice has been given. If you insist on having your way, you might end up with the sa disastrous dog-eat-dog outco as before. Good luck!"

A half month into the new term, things on Liang An’s side were much better than expected; he even called to tell .
"Currently, all the artists under our agency have basically been scheduled for events. Your script is being polished over and over again. Also, I’ve signed a few more newcors from the Film Academy for you. When you have the ti, could you co over and take a look?"
During Liang An’s incessant chatter, Hua Yan learned that, in order to raise these kids’ profiles, he had to use so rather extre asures when necessary.
"I think you’re right. Instead of focusing solely on Ling Yao, it’s better to bring all these kids out, allowing them to bloom. By expanding our company’s scale, we can then invest in filming TV dramas to achieve more with less effort, garnering attention from others, which will subsequently bring in investnt and traffic."
Besides recruiting artists, Liang An was also attempting to poach so reputable agents. Although the company couldn’t compare to other well-known managent companies in the industry, it wasn’t rely a small operation that anyone could kick around either.
"You don’t need to focus solely on the film and TV circle; isn’t there also the music circle? With so many talent shows and reality shows these days, observe and understand more, then carefully sign people based on the list I provided. Sign those you’re confident in promoting. After all, as a managent company, it has to be a strong entity that provides artists with a sense of security."
At this point, Liang An couldn’t help but smile bitterly, "It’s all controlled by capital. With no power and no money, how can it be so easy to rise? You, young girl, think too simply. Also, in this day and age, where is there fa without unspoken rules? Anyway, the harsh realities and dirtiness of this industry aren’t suitable for a young girl like you to know. When you grow up and enter the industry, you’ll understand why Ling Yao is so averse to this circle."
Actually, Liang An himself loathed it, but he had no way back. He had only ventured in this field, and being older now, he didn’t have the luxury of starting over like Ling Yao.
As for Ling Yao, after leaving the entertainnt circle and returning to campus, he clearly lived more humanly, lavishly and freely every day, appearing much healthier and more sunlit than in the oppressive environnt of the entertainnt circle.
Hua Yan didn’t know how to advise, so she simply hung up the phone silently, returned to the classroom, picked up her books again, and refocused on what she should be paying attention to.
Although Central Music Academy was sowhat akin to a vocational high school, it still had its share of top students, so for competitions that other high schools had, Central Music also had slots available.
But every slot for a competition required results to speak for themselves.
Competitions in math, physics, chemistry, biology, and informatics Olympiads were held in rotation. As long as you have the capability and energy to keep up, those who can, usually need to do more.
However, like the English competition she participated in during middle school, having already won a prize, there wasn’t a need to enter again.
Moreover, having already chosen piano as her major, opting for those science competitions again would be aningless. Instead, it would be better to spend ti practicing piano, as consistently getting first place in professional competitions at school could earn her a secured recomndation for further studies.
Hence, seemingly popular competitions usually attracted only those genuinely interested science geniuses who, often while playing the piano, were thinking about the fact that they might have other choices.
