Chapter 523: 507 Caution is Paramount (1)

"Love-struck?" Yan Yueqing rubbed her swollen temples. "What’s going on?"

Min Zixian rambled on, "She has a boyfriend she’s been dating for three years, and they’ve always had a good relationship. Unfortunately, his family is powerful and influential, and his future mother-in-law looks down on her. She relentlessly arranges high society blind dates for him, causing Xu Mengjie great pain...

This time, coming to audition for Xingyue, she agonized over it and decided to break up with him. She’s been feeling so miserable that her best friend suggested she find something to do to distract herself... It’s also a chance for her to test out her dream.

By the way, Yueqing, let me tell you, his family doesn’t approve of her and forbids her from joining any talent shows while they’re dating, worried she’ll lose face for them..."

Min Zixian said indignantly, "My family is decently wealthy, and even my dad has never tried to interfere with what I do! Their family just has some clout in Chunyue City, they haven’t even made it out of the province, let alone compare to the power in the capital. I really don’t understand what they’re putting on airs for!

The audition video of Xu Mengjie you sent me is really good. She sings so well. Once she debuts, she’ll surely become a huge star in the music industry! It’s a pity though, I’m worried that with her head full of this romantic nonsense, if the guy doesn’t give up and wins her back, and then his mom interferes again, she might end up crying and resigning tomorrow after we’ve already invested resources into her."

Yan Yueqing was amused by her righteous indignation, "What you’re saying isn’t without reason. Rest assured, I’m the boss first and foremost and have to consider the company’s interests. Xu Mengjie is a promising talent, and the contract is already settled. Even if the boyfriend’s mother has objections, it won’t make much difference."

"What if Xu Mengjie resigns on her own?"

"If she can’t afford the breach of contract fee, then she has no choice but to work honestly at the company."

Yan Yueqing confidently curved her lips into a smile, "Do you think that if his mother doesn’t even want her as a daughter-in-law, she would pay a hefty breach of contract fee?"

Min Zixian got the point and covered her mouth, snickering, "Yueqing, you’re really awesome~"

"Moreover, Xu Mengjie is young. I heard that the guy is her first love?"

Min Zixian affirmed, "Yeah, she had a crush on him for three years in high school, worked hard to get into the same university as him, and when she bravely confessed, she succeeded on her first try. Everyone said Xu Mengjie was really lucky."

Yan Yueqing shook her head, "You see, just because everyone says she’s lucky, she holds on tight to this hard-won chance. But love is not like other things; effort doesn’t always guarantee an equivalent return. Too large a filter only entraps oneself, making it hard to move forward or back."

"Yueqing, what you’re saying is so profound..."

"In terms of love, each person is independent. Money, status, and position cannot shake a relationship. If there’s any faltering, it’s because there’s a problem within the relationship itself. They don’t want to admit it, so they blame external factors."

The one who loves you would proactively help you deal with these external problems, instead of imposing them on you, causing you pain.

"Like Xu Mengjie’s boyfriend, from what you’ve described, the conflict has always been with his mother’s disapproval. So what role does he play in all this? The boyfriend’s inaction often provokes conflict.

Xu Mengjie loves to sing and wants to be a singer. In the years they were dating, even if his mother disapproved, as long as her boyfriend supported her, Xu Mengjie would have entered the entertainment industry a long time ago and wouldn’t have ended up waiting for us to pick her up today!"

Min Zixian realized, "You mean, her boyfriend actually agrees with his family? They all don’t want Xu Mengjie to become a singer?"

"What else? Although Xu Mengjie cares a lot about his mother’s opinion, what she truly values is her boyfriend’s thoughts, right? I guarantee, if her boyfriend had shown support even just once in these years, Xu Mengjie would have already made her debut."

Min Zixian’s face twisted in disgust, "I’ve been too busy criticizing his mother, I forgot to berate him!"
