Chapter 970: Chapter 627: Ding Qian’s Ambition_2 Chapter 970: Chapter 627: Ding Qian’s Ambition_2 “What’s the matter?

Is there a trouble you can’t resolve?”

The woman with slightly bitten red lips raised her eyes to size up Chu Mo.

Seeing the man in front of her, whose expression was calm, Ding Qian knew that this tall, handsome man still possessed the power to decide her future.

Even though she was no longer the same person she used to be, and even though she had amassed hundreds of millions of fans and was famous across Hua Country, this man could still shatter her to pieces in an instant.

However, equally, just a light word from him could propel her further up the ladder of success.

Ding Qian knew that opportunities to meet this man alone were rare.

If she did not seize this one, she might not get another chance for a long time.

...

Thus, despite some hesitation in her heart, Ding Qian still gritted her teeth and said,

“It’s just that recently, I have clearly felt that I have hit a bottleneck.

No matter how hard I try, my influence seems capped at Asia, and the vast majority of my fans are from Hua Country.

Though I boast hundreds of millions of fans, my global appeal is virtually non-existent.

I know that if things continue this way, no matter how hard I try, I will only ever reach the pinnacle of the Hua Country entertainment circle.

To advance further and soar into the broader sky seems almost impossible, so…”

After speaking, Ding Qian did not add more, but her eyes were filled with hopeful anticipation as she gazed at Chu Mo.

Naturally, Chu Mo understood Ding Qian’s meaning clearly without needing her to elaborate.

Unlike Chu Wen, who was inactive like a salted fish, Chu Wen, his childhood classmate, fundamentally did not want to strive; she had chosen to stay at Shi Yuan Entertainment not because she liked the entertainment circle, but because her best friend, Zhao Shuangshuang, had decided to stay there, and Chu Wen had no particular place she wanted to go.

Thus, even though Chu Wen, Zhao Shuangshuang, and Ding Qian, the first batch of three trainees, debuted at the same time, and even though Chu Mo had specifically compensated Chu Wen by giving all three of them the same resources,

A year later, Ding Qian had already become a top-tier celebrity, while Chu Wen was merely scraping by at the third-tier level, and Zhao Shuangshuang was only second-rate.

In terms of potential, Ding Qian was far superior to the other two.

However, top-tier was also Ding Qian’s limit.

Above that, breaking out of Hua Country, out of Asia, to reach a global standard is the challenge.

And rising to the level of an international superstar is by no means an easy task.

Even within Hua Country, only Ding Xiaoni had achieved this level, and that was with the combined efforts of both Shi Yuan Entertainment and Shangyuan Entertainment, who had pushed her to the throne.

If supporting a top-tier superstar consumes five percent of Shi Yuan Entertainment’s various resources, then an international superstar consumes a staggering twenty percent of resources just by themselves.

This consumption is terrifying.

Considering that Shi Yuan Entertainment hosts several top-tier superstars and dozens of first-tier stars, all of them put together only have so much in resources, where these top-tier artists alone account for ninety percent, leaving a mere ten percent for those below first-tier.

Supporting a Ding Xiaoni had already been strenuous for Shi Yuan Entertainment, the leading company in the entertainment industry with a market value of one hundred fifty billion.

One can imagine that slightly inferior companies simply cannot afford an international superstar.

Of course, it’s possible for an entertainment company to pour all their resources into nurturing one international superstar, but such cases are extremely rare.

Ding Qian wanted to advance further; her only option was the international level.

To become a star like Ding Xiaoni, to compete with Ding Xiaoni for the title of top celebrity at Shi Yuan, would completely disrupt the company’s entire strategy.

Even if Chu Mo decided to wholeheartedly cultivate Ding Qian, initially at least twenty percent of the company’s resources would be required.

The total amount of company resources is fixed, and supporting Ding Qian would mean reducing the allocation for other artists, possibly even affecting Ding Xiaoni’s share.

Shi Yuan Entertainment had already achieved great success by cultivating Ding Xiaoni, who was regarded as a model in the industry.

If they decided to also nurture Ding Qian, pouring all of Shi Yuan Entertainment’s potential into her, it could possibly be done, but the damage caused to other artists could not be ignored.

This was why Ding Qian had proactively sought out Chu Mo and presented her request to him.

Because Ding Qian knew, to nurture an international superstar, even if Sun Qing Ruoxi, acting as the company’s proxy chairman, could not make the decision alone, let alone the previous de facto chairman Qin Zixuan, who wouldn’t dare to rashly use twenty percent of the company’s resources to gamble on a future prospect.

Only Chu Mo, acting as the true power behind the scenes, could make such a decision.

Without Chu Mo’s approval, Ding Qian’s aspiration to become an international superstar would remain a beautiful dream, forever unattainable.

Yet once Chu Mo gave his consent, that beautiful dream was very likely to become reality.

To realize her dream, Ding Qian had come prepared to pay a price, which is why she behaved so boldly and seductively in front of Chu Mo.

Chu Mo had understood Ding Qian’s thoughts, but even he found himself in a difficult position for a time.

The company’s latest batch of trainees was about to debut soon, and the last nine required significant resources, especially Leng Ruodan and Long Guo’er, the strongest of the trainees, who were very likely to become top-tier celebrities.

The resources allocated to them could not be limited.

In such circumstances, with the company’s resources already under strain, deciding to fully cultivate Ding Qian would place even Shi Yuan Entertainment, the leading company in the entertainment industry, under tremendous pressure.

Similarly, this situation would disrupt all the arrangements made by Sun Qing Ruoxi, the acting chairman, and could plunge the company into chaos again.

For Chu Mo, this was an absolutely unprofitable venture.

A flicker of resolution in his eyes, Chu Mo was about to reject Ding Qian’s request and allow the company to smoothly transition through the current phase.

However, before he could speak, a gust of wind suddenly blew through the entrance hall.

Sitting calmly opposite him, Ding Qian, clad in a flowing red dress, looked breathtakingly beautiful, noble, and elegant, her long hair cascading down her back.

At this moment, Ding Qian no longer exhibited the seductive charm she had earlier, but instead wore an elegance that was truly captivating, almost transforming into the naive girl who had just entered the entertainment industry a year ago, blushing easily.

The rejection that was on the tip of his tongue was withdrawn by Chu Mo as he meticulously observed the stunning woman before him.

Chu Mo knew that today, with just his nod, this peerless woman, still untouched, would belong entirely to him.

Chu Mo had long desired to possess her, but a year ago, she had rejected him.

Although Ding Qian had later chosen to submit, Chu Mo had not forced her, preferring to let things take a natural course.

Today, a year later, she had approached him herself; Chu Mo knew she was now prepared, and with just a slight hint from him, everything would fall into place.

Thus, after hesitating for a moment, Chu Mo ultimately chose not to refuse.

He thought for a moment, then seriously said,

“Shi Yuan Entertainment’s current resources are already maxed out, barely able to support another international superstar, at least in the current state of Shi Yuan.

However, since you’ve asked personally, I naturally will not let you down.

Starting today, I will continue to inject fifty billion into Shi Yuan Entertainment, which would boost the company’s market value to two hundred billion.

The company can utilize more resources this way, and I will ensure Sun Qing Ruoxi allocates enough resources to fulfill your dream!”

As Chu Mo’s words concluded, Ding Qian abruptly stood up, clearly understanding the implications of his statement.

Chu Mo was willing to invest fifty billion just to boost her career alone.

If she did not know what to do next, then she would have wasted a year in the industry.

She gracefully stood up and then coyly sat next to Chu Mo; in that moment, Ding Qian was stunning beyond measure.
