Chang Shuying's resignation from the Artists Association was with Zhou Hongyu's consent. She didn't dare to act first and ask for permission later. After all, if they suddenly broke up close to their wedding date, and she caused any more trouble, even her daughter would likely get a beating.
After confirming that Chang Shuying and Wen Zhixin had officially broken up, Zhou Hongyu busied herself notifying all the relatives and friends who were waiting to attend the wedding.
The first one that must be mentioned is Zhou Liangyu, who was particularly heartbroken by Chang Shuying's wedding.
Three years ago, Zhou Liangyu and her foreign boyfriend immigrated from Japan to America. Not long after, Tian Xiaoman followed them there. Everyone knows the saying, "It's good to take shelter under a big tree."
Tian Xiaoan stayed with them. He got together with the blind date that Granny Zhou had introduced to him. After much consideration, the couple went to the United States to give birth before deciding to have a child. After their original return date, they chose to stay.
This was because Zhou Liangyu and her foreign boyfriend had considerable influence in the local area and were able to take good care of their children.
As for Tian Xiaoliang...
That guy caused a scene at his father's second marriage, disgracing the Tian family. After a new talent emerged in the family, he was completely sidelined and remained depressed and frustrated. To this day, he still doesn't understand why the Tian family abandoned him.
Zhou Hongyu had only one thing to say about this: He deserved it!
After listening to Zhou Hongyu's explanation, Zhou Liangyu chuckled: "Young people these days are so spirited, unlike us... Sigh, let's not talk about the past, it just makes us angry!"
After enduring so many years, she finally mustered the courage to secretly get a divorce certificate with her former lover without telling her family.
Zhou Liangyu often thanked herself for her impulsiveness. If she hadn't acted so stubbornly, she would still be stuck in a quagmire of pain, wasting precious time.
She is grateful for everything.
Zhou Liangyu advised the man, "The child has her reasons for doing this. Don't get too upset. Since you've separated, it means you weren't meant to be. Marriage is a serious matter that can't be rushed!"
Zhou Hongyu had similar thoughts and smiled easily: "I didn't react much, but I wonder what others will think!"
Shuying is gentle by nature, and with this sudden change, everyone is probably worried that she has been bullied.
Chang Rihui, who was far away from home, thought the same way.
His sister is so kind, canceling at this time is probably an attempt to bully her!
Upon hearing the news, Chang Rihui disregarded the small spark he had managed to ignite with Keqiao and rushed back from out of town without stopping.
Who bullied my sister?!
Chang Rihui's sudden appearance in Beijing gave Chang Shuying a big surprise; her future sugar daddy had returned!
Chang Shuying couldn't wait to tell him her thoughts.
Setting up a studio?
Chang Rihui had a serious face. To be honest, he had never been involved in this industry before. It sounded good, but was Shuying really ready to give up her bright future and do something that her peers looked down on?
Regardless, Chang Rihui reassured her: "This amount of money is no problem for me. The most important thing now is your future path. Do you plan to pursue comics?"
Shuying is not good at this direction. In fact, she is more suited to the current path, to learn from senior predecessors, to publish outstanding works, and to take one step at a time towards a higher peak.
In comparison, the path she chose was fraught with difficulties and obstacles, and the effort and reward were disproportionate.
Chang Rihui, with the ingrained business mindset, disagreed completely.
Chang Shuying had thought it through long ago. She made this choice very seriously, more calmly than impulsively, and it was a decision made from the bottom of her heart.
After listening to Chang Shuying's heartfelt words, Chang Rihui made his own judgment in a moment. If she wanted to do it, then let her do it. Money was not a problem. As for the so-called bright future, he never expected Chang Shuying to become a big shot in the industry. He only hoped that she could happily do what she wanted to do.
Before returning to work, Chang Rihui helped her one last time by speaking to Zhou Hongyu about preparing for the studio.
They took all the responsibility upon themselves.
He had spare money and wanted to invest in a new industry, so it's not Shuying's fault.
Zhou Hongyu chuckled. Breaking up was fine, leaving the job was fine too, but the studio was still up for discussion. She didn't approve of Shuying getting involved in this mess.
Running a studio and being your own boss requires a lot of effort, both big and small, which is not suitable for Shuying's gentle nature.
Just like when she started her company, all sorts of strange and shady characters swarmed in. If she were to handle it all by herself, she would be overwhelmed. Could Shuying cope with that?
Zhou Hongyu spoke frankly with her daughter, and Chang Shuying took her advice seriously, but still insisted on continuing.
"Mom, I've lived in Japan and Europe. I'm sure that with the trend of social development, this is bound to be a blue ocean market, and my efforts will definitely pay off!"
Chang Shuying met many big names in this field when she was studying abroad. These big names all had their own studios and could do what they wanted to do. China is far behind in this regard.
Currently in China, a fledgling painter who wants to publish their work must conform to the aesthetic standards of the leaders of the China Artists Association; otherwise, they will have no chance of making a name for themselves.
She hopes to give newcomers to the industry another option.
Looking at her daughter, Zhou Hongyu couldn't help but show a proud expression. Her daughter had always been wonderful!
With a wave of his hand.
"Go ahead and do it. It's okay if you fail, and it'll be even better if you succeed!"
Chang Shuying nodded excitedly, her face beaming with joy.
Since this was Chang Shuying's own business, her family didn't care about anything except investing money in her; the preparation of the studio was entirely up to her.
The only person who could offer her any help was Jian Zicai, a struggling painter who was waiting to publish his work on her platform.
Jian Zicai may seem like an ordinary slacker, but he's surprisingly good at getting things done.
Chang Shuying was amazed, saying, "You're quite talented! You're a good painter with strong personal abilities. How did you end up like a homeless person?"
Chang Shuying's impression of him was that he was a slacker painter in the eyes of his peers, who did not do his job properly and preferred to take shortcuts. Such a person should lack ability the most, but she never expected that he was actually a real talent.
Jian Zicai, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, painted the house that had been set up as his studio: "Section Chief Chang, you're a bit too curious. Do you know the old saying, 'Curiosity killed the cat'? I advise you not to pry too much; it won't do you any good... Oh, by the way, you've already left the Art Association to become a self-employed individual, so you can't call me Section Chief Chang anymore. Boss Chang!"
Chang Shuying composed herself and wrote in her notebook: Jian Zicai, the scoundrel painter, was irresponsible and talking about the past was taboo.
The room suddenly fell silent. Jianzi had only been working quietly for a short while when he couldn't stand it anymore; he was someone who loved lively atmospheres.
In order to prevent their relationship from becoming stagnant, Jian Zicai tried to find a way to rekindle their bond.
"Boss Chang, please don't be curious about my past. It's really not a good thing, and you, a young girl, would definitely be terrified if you heard it... Sigh, speaking of which, I feel really bad about you breaking up with Prince Wen and resigning from the Art Association because of me. How about I find you a partner? My uncle's family has a very prominent figure, and he would be a perfect match for you..."
Wen Zhixin is the heir chosen by a group of powerful figures. Those who dislike him like to jokingly call him the Crown Prince. As for the Crown Princess...
Chang Shuying's face turned extremely pale: "Get out—"
