The third floor of the Pearl Hotel.

"Yanping, you came to see me yesterday?"

As soon as he entered the room, Wang Qian asked directly.

"Please have a seat!"

Wu Yanping pointed to the sofa, "Let me pour you a cup of coffee, and we can talk slowly."

"I'm a bit pressed for time, so I'll skip the coffee and get to business first."

"This... is fine too!"

A hint of disappointment flashed in Wu Yanping's eyes, but she didn't press the matter. Instead, she asked solemnly, "What do you think is the real reason Liu Yanran went to such lengths to reconcile with me?"

"You came to see me yesterday just for this?" Wang Qian asked back.

If it were just this one question, given Wu Yanping's personality, she probably wouldn't have gone to find him.

"Liu Yanran came to see me!"

Wu Yanping said, "However, she never asked me to do anything, nor did she deliberately entice me to make any mistakes. It was as if she really just wanted to make up with me without any ulterior motives."

"impossible!"

Wang Qian said decisively, "I know Liu Yanran's personality all too well; she won't do anything without a reason. She paid such a high price just to reconcile with you, how could she possibly have no ulterior motives?"

"But she really didn't do anything, and that's what I can't understand."

Wu Yanping said worriedly, "Something is definitely amiss. The more I can't figure out her purpose in approaching me, the more uneasy I feel. So I wanted to ask you before I go to the next city."

"Are you leaving?" Wang Qian was taken aback.

I had heard before that Wu Yanping had already booked a concert in the next city.

But one thing after another happened here, and Wu Yanping kept putting it off.

"I've been putting it off for a long time, but now I can't put it off anymore."

A bitter look appeared on Wu Yanping's face. "I have to leave tonight."

"tonight?"

Wang Qian frowned. "So rushed?"

"They're pushing me too hard. According to the schedule, I should have set off two days ago to go to the drills. It's already the limit that I've managed to wait until now."

"Okay, then you..."

Wang Qian wanted to say a lot of words of blessing, but when the words were about to come out, she felt that it was too perfunctory, so she changed her mind and asked, "When is your performance?"

"the day after tomorrow!"

A hint of inexplicable anticipation rose in Wu Yanping's beautiful eyes, "The location of the next concert is..."

Before she could finish speaking, Wang Qian interrupted, "Baihe Square in Linjiang City, right?"

Wu Yanping felt a surge of joy, and a faint smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

She had only mentioned it once before, and thought Wang Qian had already forgotten about it.

I didn't expect you to remember it so clearly.

That's really rare!

With that thought in mind, she quickly returned to the previous topic, "Do you know what Liu Yanran's purpose is?"

"I don't know either, but..."

Wang Qian pondered for a moment, then said, "Since it doesn't fit Liu Yanran's style, it must be the work of her father, Liu Jingxian."

"Liu Jingxian?"

Wu Yanping frowned. "Is this old fox going to interfere in the affairs of us younger generation?"

"They've been involved for a long time!"

Wang Qian sighed, "Liu Yanran's initiative to seek peace with you, and even the deal she made with me, were all manipulated by Liu Jingxian behind the scenes."

"So you mean it's not Liu Yanran who's planning something, but Liu Jingxian who's after me?" Wu Yanping asked thoughtfully.

"Yes and no!"

"What's the meaning?"

"To put it bluntly, you are not important enough to attract Liu Jingxian's attention. The reason he forced Liu Yanran to reconcile with you is definitely not because of you."

"That's...my dad?"

Wu Yanping wasn't stupid; she quickly connected the dots to her father, Wu Qixuan.

"That's the only possibility!"

Wang Qian said, "Liu Jingxian is indeed a cunning old fox. His methods and vision are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people."

“But my dad’s business seems to be related to the Liu family. What does Liu Jingxian want from my dad?” Wu Yanping was even more confused.

"You'll have to ask your dad."

Wang Qian smiled wryly and said, "Although I know that Liu Jingxian's plans are definitely not small, and that your father may be the target, I can't tell until Liu Jingxian shows any signs of it."

Seeing that Wu Yanping was still frowning, Wang Qian said again, "Don't worry too much. Anyway, you're going to Linjiang City soon. Even if Liu Yanran wants to take advantage of you, you won't be around, so she'll probably just end up with nothing."

"That's... true!"

Wu Yanping nodded in deep agreement.

After Wang Qian's words of comfort, she finally felt a little relieved.

The atmosphere fell silent for no apparent reason.

Wang Qian didn't know what to say.

Wu Yanping also felt a little embarrassed.

Knock knock knock!

Suddenly, a knock on the door broke the awkward atmosphere between the two.

"Who?" Wu Yanping asked instinctively.

"Miss Wu, it's me, Yiyi." A familiar female voice came from outside the door.

"Come in!"

Wu Yanping called out to the outside, then said to Wang Qian, "It's Yiyi."

"Hmm!" Wang Qian nodded, secretly relieved.

He can talk about anything with anyone.

Only in front of Wu Yanping would he become inexplicably irritable.

"Wang Qian, are you here too?"

Zhong Yiyi waved to everyone as she entered.

She was dressed in her usual denim outfit, with an earring and a lollipop in her mouth, looking nonchalant and like a lazy, unconventional girl who never does anything productive.

However, Wang Qian and Wu Yanping were already used to it.

Even now that she has become Wu Yanping's agent, Wu Yanping has not forced her to dress or act in a certain way.

"Ms. Wu, the itinerary has been arranged. Please take a look."

Zhong Yiyi walked over and handed a document to Wu Yanping.

"good!"

Wu Yanping took a look and her expression immediately turned grim. "Why do we need to meet with these people separately?"

"These are all prominent figures in Linjiang City. If you want to develop your business there, you need their approval."

Zhong Yiyi said, "Of course, if you really don't like it, I can help you return it."

"but……"

She then changed the subject, saying, "This might have some impact on the concert. You decide for yourself. As for how far I can go, that depends on my abilities."

Wu Yanping hesitated.

Wang Qian didn't pay much attention to these things at first, but when he glanced at the list of people to be received on the document, he was somewhat taken aback.

The list on the document contained only a dozen or so names, most of whom he had never heard of.

But one name in particular stood out.

Jiang Zhenghua!

Then, thinking of Yang Zihuan and Yang Chunlan, who were both studying at university in Linjiang City, and Yang Shenglong's younger sister Yang Ju, who was also working in Linjiang City, he immediately smiled.

"What a small world! You can run into acquaintances anywhere."
