Chapter 1803: Chapter 1803: Rising Star (5)

"Hey..."

"Why the sigh?"

The Butler turned his head to see Chuzheng standing behind him, arms crossed, looking at him indifferently.

"It’s nothing." The Butler stepped aside: "Miss Qin, what would you like for dinner?"

"Anything."

"Is there anything Miss Qin doesn’t eat?" She used to never stay at the villa for long, let alone eat here, so the Butler naturally didn’t know her preferences.

Chuzheng wasn’t as awkward as her predecessor; she took full advantage of being served: "I’m not picky."

"Then I’ll prepare something light since Miss Qin is still recovering and shouldn’t eat anything too greasy." The Butler continued: "I’ll call Miss Qin when dinner is ready."

During dinner, there was only Chuzheng’s table setting.

According to the Butler, that fiancé of hers hadn’t returned yet.

From then on, whenever Chuzheng wanted to meet her fiancé, she’d miss him for various reasons.

After Chuzheng’s drama wrapped up, she didn’t have much work.

The Bastard kept pressuring her to shop all day.

The Butler watched as Chuzheng moved items into the villa like an ant carrying a house.

The Butler also didn’t know why this young lady suddenly changed her ways. Before, she couldn’t wait to leave without keeping a single piece of clothing here. Now she seemed eager to bring everything inside.

After reporting to the gentleman, he didn’t seem to mind and just let her be.

That evening, Chuzheng was still on the road when her agent Liu Chunhua called.

"Seven o’clock tonight, at Dunhuang Clubhouse. Don’t be late."

Liu Chunhua didn’t pursue the matter of Chuzheng not answering her calls last time, simply dropping this line and hanging up.

Dunhuang Clubhouse?

Chuzheng drove her red sports car into the villa, parked, and sat inside pondering for a while.

In the original memory, Liu Chunhua called her this time to have her accompany drinks and urged her to seize the opportunity.

How could a young lady like the original take this? She turned against Liu Chunhua on the spot.

Just as she was about to leave, she saw Fu Xingchen.

Fu Xingchen entered the room Liu Chunhua arranged. The original gritted her teeth and went back to find Liu Chunhua.

Though Liu Chunhua was annoyed by the original defying her, she still brought her in due to vested interests.

Tonight, Nian Yue would be present as well.

Tsk.

Chuzheng didn’t open the car door; instead, she pushed herself out swiftly, grabbed the items inside the car, and headed towards the villa.

-

Gu Yu was awakened by the car’s roar, checking the time to see he’d slept for twenty minutes.

Gu Yu pushed his wheelchair to the bedside to look downstairs.

The villa had an underground parking garage and two parking spaces in the yard, which used to be empty, but today parked a red sports car.

Gu Yu frowned and called the Butler upstairs.

"Whose car is downstairs?"

"Miss Qin just drove it back." The Butler replied.

Gu Yu looked at the car below, conservatively estimated at no less than three million...

"Has she been spending a lot lately?"

"Yes, Miss Qin has bought quite a few things."

"Did the Qin Family lift restrictions on her?"

"Haven’t heard anything."

Gu Yu frowned deeper: "Check who she’s been in contact with recently." This woman suddenly turned strange and always wanted to see him. What did she want to see him for?

Gu Yu knew she always wanted to annul the engagement with him, but it wasn’t up to her or him.

So, there’s simply no need to discuss it.

The Butler dutifully complied: "Yes, sir."

-

While Gu Yu was investigating whom Chuzheng had been in contact with, Chuzheng had already changed into a new outfit, ready to attend the seven o’clock appointment.

Dunhuang Clubhouse was a members-only establishment hosting reputable figures.

Liu Chunhua somehow secured connections to bring her here.

Liu Chunhua was on the phone, nodding and grinning, full of flattery.

Noticing someone nearby, she didn’t look closely and instructed her to stand aside and wait. Liu Chunhua hung up, turned around, and said, "Why are you so slow? How long have I been waiting?"

Chuzheng glanced at her phone: "Seven o’clock, right on time."

Liu Chunhua then clearly saw Chuzheng’s face, suddenly widening her eyes: "Y-you... who are you?"

"Qin Chuzheng."

Liu Chunhua: "??"

What? Was she hearing things?

Didn’t she know Qin Chuzheng well? But the voice matched, though it was a bit chilly.

This was completely different from her impression; surely she didn’t have quick cosmetic surgery in a few days, right?

But thinking again, Liu Chunhua realized she hadn’t seen this brat without makeup before...

She was shockingly beautiful!

Was she blind before? Such great resources indeed went unnoticed!

The original had an ID from seven or eight years ago, from when she just entered high school. The photo on the ID wasn’t ugly, but not as fully developed and stunning as it was now.

Back then, to coax her into signing a contract, she wasn’t closely inspected.

Liu Chunhua looked at Chuzheng with eyes as if seeing meat on a chopping board, estimating its selling price.

"Let’s go inside." Liu Chunhua said nothing more, but in her heart, the calculation was active and loud.

Chuzheng was considering other things as well and didn’t speak much.

Alongside Chuzheng were two other girls, both in their twenties, fair-skinned, beautiful with long legs, wearing light makeup, looking like pure college students.

In the original’s memory, she hadn’t seen these two, who likely were Liu Chunhua’s new signings.

"H-hello." One of the girls shyly greeted Chuzheng, her gaze filled with curiosity.

Chuzheng dressed casually, as if unaware of the occasion.

The girl, though new to the industry, knew the rules and tidied up properly.

But upon seeing Chuzheng’s face, the girl felt attire wasn’t important; with such looks, she’d stand out even in ragged clothes.

"Hello." Chuzheng responded flatly.

The other girl then gave up on greeting.

Their relationship was not sisterly anyway.

For resources, wouldn’t they still compete fiercely?

Liu Chunhua led them upstairs, whispering caution: "Don’t act clueless inside. Be charming yet observant. Speak when needed, but don’t utter a word otherwise."

She brought the two girls to the outside of the box.

Chuzheng glanced at the box; it was indeed the one from the original memory.

But Liu Chunhua didn’t seem to intend to let her in, only the other two girls: "Wait here."

Chuzheng: "..."

Oh no!

Liu Chunhua definitely wants to sell me at a higher price.

Chuzheng was spot on as Liu Chunhua returned, leading her upstairs, texting constantly, finally settling it, her smile growing wider.

"Let me tell you, the boss you’re meeting this time is absolutely a big shot, so don’t mess it up. Please them well, and you’ll have no shortage of roles."

Liu Chunhua’s business involved just this.

Bringing new signings to different venues to entertain bosses.

The fate of those who entertained was obvious.
