Chapter 515: Chapter 515: Sister-in-law, I’m Truly in Awe of You
By the time Qianxun lost all her money, the sky outside had almost darkened.
At this point, Zhong Sicheng and others stopped entertaining the idea of playing cards and turned to Qianxun, saying to Pan Ya and Wang Ziqing, "I’ll be hosting dinner tonight! Ziqing, you and Qianxun have a collaboration coming up, take this opportunity to have a good chat and get to know each other."
Indeed, Wang Ziqing had also joined the cast of Gambling God 2, though he was to play a villain.
In the story, this villain was also one of the female lead’s suitors.
Upon hearing Zhong Sicheng’s words, Wang Ziqing nodded slightly and said, "Sure."
For other actresses, unless they were acquaintances, he wouldn’t bother interacting with them, as it often brought too much trouble.
But Su Qianxun was clever, and both her card-playing style and technique were very much to his liking. There was naturally no harm in getting acquainted with her beforehand.
Moreover, he was someone who highly valued personal connections, and Su Qianxun, in his opinion, was quite to his taste.
...
Afterwards, the group followed Director Zhong to the most luxurious Cantonese restaurant for dinner.
Once the conversation at the dinner table started flowing, the atmosphere became even more cordial, and Pan Ya even took the initiative to look up Qianxun’s new album and began to listen to it.
After listening, she looked at Qianxun with a somewhat surprised gaze, "Do you have Absolute Pitch?"
She possessed Absolute Pitch because she came from a musical family and had been exposed to such training and talent development from a young age.
Consequently, she was certain that there was not a single note sung incorrectly in Su Qianxun’s songs.
Upon hearing Pan Ya’s words, Qianxun replied with a slight smile, "Yes, I do."
As soon as she said that, Pan Ya immediately responded, "I knew you were good! By the way, I’m also preparing to release a new album, but there’s one song that requires a duet and I haven’t found a suitable singer yet, so it’s on hold for now. If you have time, why not give it a try?"
Getting an opportunity to sing a duet with Pan Ya was what many singers dreamt of.
But now, Pan Ya was extending an olive branch to Qianxun.
This was an acknowledgment of Qianxun’s talent and also hinted at an intent to support her.
Even though Qianxun didn’t need to ride on the coattails of Pan Ya’s popularity, the invitation was out of an appreciation for her art, so how could Qianxun refuse?
Therefore, she smiled and nodded, "Then I thank you for the invitation, Sister Pan."
"Hahaha, think nothing of it. If you really want to thank me, you’ll give me some pointers on my card skills later on!" Pan Ya immediately said.
"No problem, if Sister Pan has the time, in a few days let’s go play at Oucheng Casino," Qianxun laughed.
Today, the people gathered by Director Zhong were all related to Gambling God 2, and Pan Ya was the singer tasked with the movie’s theme song.
Although a singer didn’t need to go on location for shooting, Pan Ya naturally wouldn’t refuse, since Qianxun had suggested it.
Who’d pass up the chance to play cards with someone as skilled as Qianxun? Especially when Oucheng Casino was so big—perhaps with a card-counting expert like Qianxun, she could even turn a profit!
"Sure, let’s do it!" Pan Ya immediately responded.
Upon hearing this, Wang Ziqing on the other side smiled slightly and said, "Then count me in, too!"
At his words, Qianxun smiled and nodded in agreement.
By the time the dinner was over, Qianxun’s phone had gained two more personal numbers.
...
Once back in the nanny van, Ruan Mianmian immediately gave Qianxun a thumbs up and said with an admiring expression, "Sis-in-law, I’m truly bowled over by you!"
Who didn’t know that Pan Ya and Wang Ziqing were powerful figures in the industry, well-regarded yet difficult to approach?
And yet, in less than a day, Qianxun had secured their private numbers!
Even more, it was they who had volunteered them!
