Any artist she discovered could rise to stardom; this required not only luck but also an acute sense of intuition and exceptional aesthetic judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The international market was already saturated and lacked challenges, so lately, she planned to break into the Hua Country market, a territory waiting to be developed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the first moment Rong Xianning appeared in her view, her intuition told her that this young man was the one she was looking for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, she engaged in conversation with Shen You’an but continued to secretly observe him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither arrogant nor humble, this young man possessed a maturity and composure that surpassed his age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a temperament was more suitable for the entertainment industry, and under her tutelage, Hua Country would witness the birth of a superstar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, his boss was a shrewd businessman who wouldn’t let him go easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sula completely ignored Ding Meng’s aggrieved complaints, as if she hadn’t seen her tears at all, saying, \"What a pity, I was considering offering him a chance to audition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Meng suddenly froze, her eyes widening: \"A chance to audition for Star Youth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh heavens, she had exhausted all efforts to secure this opportunity from Wu Hao, yet here, it seemed like a matter of a simple word from Sula.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what now? She seemed to have offended Sula.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Meng turned to look at Rong Xianning, who stood silently there, listening indifferently to their discussions about his future and fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This reminded her of the previous year when she went to the Rong family to discuss Rong Xianning’s signing, and he silently sat in a corner, saying nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if no matter what fate offered him, he was indifferent—not because he didn’t care, but because he was numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Meng’s heart suddenly ached; rationality told her she was a businesswoman, focused on profit, and Rong Xianning was her moneymaker, not to let him slip away easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But over more than a year, watching this young man grow slowly, his intelligence, his stubbornness, his sensitivity were all seen by her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He deserved better development; she shouldn’t confine him at her side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inner conflicts raged as her thoughts constantly changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a few dozen seconds passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Ding Meng knew that the moment she hesitated, she already had the answer deep in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Meng silently turned back, gritted her teeth, and when she looked up again, her gaze was firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are Xiao Rong’s benefactor; I believe you can certainly offer him better development. I’m willing to dissolve the contract with him; let’s set another time to discuss the specifics.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either succeed or perish, selling Sula a favor was at least a connection with no harm in sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, the heavy stone pressing on her heart seemed to suddenly lighten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Xianning looked deeply at Ding Meng; being young, he couldn’t hide his emotions, appearing shocked that Ding Meng truly would let him go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sula was also a bit surprised, but upon more thought, it was quite logical; this woman was rather clever and insightful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sula Sis, President Ding was the one who discovered Xiao Rong, so maybe it’s best not to take someone else’s discovery.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cool voice of the young girl flowed like a clear spring, bringing a refreshing calm to the heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Meng sharply looked at the black-clad girl sitting quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She called her Sula Sis, hinting at a close relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-clad girl quietly sat under the hazy light, cloaked in mystery, hard to decipher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl looked at her with eyes clear like whirlpools, easy to get lost in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Meng shivered, dared not to look further, hurriedly bowed her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura around this girl was restrained but no less than Sula’s, with a faint stance of superiority between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, after hearing her, Sula laughed heartily: \"Since An’an said so, I’ll refrain...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sula wasn’t sure how the saying went; Shen You’an smiled and said, \"Refrain from taking someone else’s discovery.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right, I’ll refrain from taking someone else’s discovery. This weekend’s audition, bring Rong Xianning over, leave a phone number, and I’ll have my assistant contact you later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Meng could hardly believe it; she first glanced at Shen You’an, who quietly drank tea with lowered eyes, not looking at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Meng then looked at Sula, nodded repeatedly, hurriedly pulling out a sticky note and pen from her purse, and wrote down her phone number, placing it on the table before Sula’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sula glanced at it and tucked it into her bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Meng’s mouth curled with a wide grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anything else?\" Sula glanced at Ding Meng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Meng hurriedly waved her hand, pulled Rong Xianning over, \"Sorry for interrupting your meal; I shall leave now. Enjoy your meal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she pushed Rong Xianning onto a seat and exited the private room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Meng felt dizzy as she walked out, as if dreaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Zi quickly followed, assuming she had been drinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ye Zi, do you know the history behind Xiao Rong’s childhood sweetheart?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Zi paused, \"Isn’t she just an ordinary high school student?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, not ordinary indeed, she’s supposed to be a genius in academia, likely pursuing research in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re wrong.\" Ding Meng looked quite excited, \"She’s far from ordinary; we’ve underestimated her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words held sway over Sula’s thoughts, and though she called Sula Sis, instinct told her Sula was likely to heed her every command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she was merely a good student in high school, how did she come to know Sula? And what power did she hold over Sula?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was simply a mysterious woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Meng couldn’t understand, so she stopped overthinking, as everything was moving in a positive direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Descending to the second floor, Ding Meng recalled the humiliation from Wu Hao earlier; she needed to vent her anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the private room, Wu Hao and He Qian were having a jovial conversation, almost as close as brothers, with Chen Shucheng obediently sitting by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Meng’s arrival disrupted the harmonious atmosphere in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Hao’s expression darkened instantly upon seeing Ding Meng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I already gave you a chance earlier; it’s your own...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Meng strutted forward, grabbed a glass of red wine from the table, and splashed it on Wu Hao’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yuck, you old sleazeball, you disgust me, touch me again, and I’ll chop off your fingers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Hao was furious, his finger trembling as it pointed at Ding Meng: \"You bitch, do you know what you’re doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Meng sneered, glancing at He Qian, who was watching the drama: \"Isn’t it just an audition opportunity? I don’t care; I have my connections, let’s see who wins.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she turned triumphantly to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Hao was trembling with anger, shouting at Ding Meng’s retreating back: \"In your dreams.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Qian thought Ding Meng’s temper was still fiery; this time she deeply offended Wu Hao, and the audition opportunity was lost, making Shu Cheng’s chance seem even greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this in mind, He Qian’s eyebrows brimmed with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>",1200,"2026-06-06T12:23:57.768Z",1,"novelbin.me","9a415d3ca2eadf53ea52f487c935cb14d7398500ed0b927b5f2544314616a999","drama-queen-reborn-as-a-top-student-chapter-849","drama-queen-reborn-as-a-top-student-chapter-847",1154,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdrama-queen-reborn-as-a-top-student-cover.jpg"]
