He Will Agree

Qiao Sisi’s sudden question caught Manager Zhu off guard.

She took deep breaths to calm herself before speaking in a soothing tone to Qiao Sisi.

“Have you really thought this through? Are you willing to trade your two golden years of career growth for a wedding?”

The reason she asked this was because once an artist gets married, their performance time is significantly reduced. Many even choose to retire to family life.

There are many once-brilliant stars who, after choosing to return to family life, fade into obscurity. When they try to return to their careers, they find that the entertainment industry has moved on without them.

Their once-bright stardom turns out to be fleeting.

Meanwhile, their contemporaries have achieved great success, rising to high positions and earning respect and admiration.

Even without a perfect family, they can still rely on their careers to create their own future.

In a company, even a small position is fiercely contested, with everyone vying for advancement.

So, how much more competitive is the entertainment industry, which is already teeming with talent?

Manager Zhu genuinely wanted to help Qiao Sisi establish herself in the entertainment industry and eventually secure the Best Actress award.

This would not only give her a sense of accomplishment but also give Qiao Sisi the confidence to navigate the industry.

In Zhu’s eyes, a woman’s most important asset is her ability to stand on her own, not some fleeting romance.

Unfortunately, despite the numerous artists under the company’s banner, few understood this truth.

She once thought Qiao Sisi was one of those who did.

But now, she realized Qiao Sisi had just hidden it well.

In Manager Zhu’s hopeful gaze, Qiao Sisi slowly but firmly shook her head, expressing her resolve.

“No, Sister Zhu, I’ve decided.”

Saying this, Qiao Sisi reached out and grabbed Zhu’s arm, shaking it as she pleaded, “Sister Zhu, you know me. I rarely want anything, and I rarely ask for favors.”

“This time, I don’t want to compromise or keep enduring. For me, my career can wait, but I need to secure this person now to have the motivation to keep going.”

Seeing Qiao Sisi’s big, watery eyes and the determination they conveyed, Manager Zhu was finally moved.

She sighed deeply, a mix of resignation to her own soft-heartedness and concession to Qiao Sisi.

“Alright, if you’ve made up your mind, I’ll respect your decision. But I have one request: can you keep the marriage a secret? Don’t let the fans know, okay?”

In fact, a secret marriage would be most beneficial for Qiao Sisi. It wouldn’t interfere with her personal life or her career.

However, when it eventually came to light, it would require some effort to manage the fallout.

But by then, if Qiao Sisi had secured the Best Actress title, she wouldn’t need to explain herself. There would be plenty of people defending her.

That’s the power of success.

Unfortunately, even this small wish of Manager Zhu’s wasn’t granted by Qiao Sisi.

She shook her head, her gaze drifting as if looking at someone beyond Zhu.

“No, this has to be announced to the world.”

Otherwise, someone might try to take him from me.

Qiao Sisi silently added: Only by letting the whole world know that Fang Zhou is mine can I feel at ease.

When a king acquires a dazzling jewel, he holds an exhibition to declare his ownership.

The most beautiful and attractive pieces in a jewelry store are always displayed prominently.

So why shouldn’t the man Qiao Sisi marries be shown off openly?

She didn’t become a star to sneak around doing things in secret.

Loving someone means expressing it openly, telling everyone, “We are one, and no one can separate us.”

Manager Zhu felt like she was being hit with one blow after another today.

For a moment, she even regretted signing Qiao Sisi, who was proving to be too rebellious.

But among the company’s artists, Qiao Sisi had the most potential to reach the top and become a Best Actress.

If they wanted greater glory and success, they had to go along with Qiao Sisi.

Now, Manager Zhu’s only consolation was that Qiao Sisi was a talented actress with a good reputation among the audience, so she shouldn’t have trouble finding roles in the future.

Otherwise, she would be worrying herself gray.

“Alright, since you’ve decided, I won’t stop you. If you’re getting married, there will be a lot to prepare. Tell me your plan, and I’ll help reduce your workload.”

Manager Zhu’s softened tone brought joy to Qiao Sisi’s heart.

She jumped up from the sofa and hugged Zhu tightly, exclaiming, “Thank you, Sister Zhu! You’re my strongest support!”

Zhu hugged her back, careful not to mess up her hairstyle and makeup, and asked, “But are you sure Fang Zhou will marry you? Has he agreed? Have you discussed it with him?”

Zhu recalled that Fang Zhou was currently someone else’s boyfriend. How could he agree to marry Qiao Sisi?

Was this just her wishful thinking?

Thinking this, Zhu’s gaze deepened as she looked at Qiao Sisi, trying to see through her thoughts.

But she only saw her artist with a smile on her lips and no joy in her eyes.

“He will agree.”

Those 3 words were a response to Zhu and to the doubts and uncertainties in her own heart.

When Qiao Sisi said those words, she had already made up her mind.

If Fang Zhou didn’t agree, she would turn him into a specimen.

Specimens don’t need consent.

Specimens are obedient, they don’t run away, they don’t follow other women.

They don’t develop second thoughts.

They stay quietly in the house, waiting for their mistress to return.

They can be together forever, with no betrayal, no departure, and no arguments.

Isn’t that perfect?
