A person in Wuha: The whole internet is urging me to get back together with my ex!

After Chen Ye finished speaking, the luxury suite fell into a brief silence.

The crisp sound of a cup hitting the glass coffee table drowned out the sound of breathing.

Wang Zhengyu's face was all wrinkled from laughing so hard.

These unsuspecting people really thought that he, Wang, was a master of deception.

Little did he know that this was a pre-arranged scenario between him and Chen Ye.

Deng Chao's eyes widened.

"No, you're really writing it?" He looked Chen Ye up and down, as if he were a rare species. "Yezi, did Old Black Bull knock something wrong with your brain? You're signing this kind of treaty?"

Before Chen Ye could retort, Tao Zhe, who was sitting in the corner, couldn't sit still any longer.

Tao Zhe jumped up from the sofa.

With an agility completely out of character for his age, he rushed toward Chen Ye.

"Yoko! Do you think I can join the choir?"

Tao Zhe rubbed his hands together, his face full of anticipation.

He knew all too well the value of Chen Yege's talent.

Every song written by Chen Ye is a game-changer.

Tao Zhe was laughing inwardly.

Fortunately, Jay Chou, Wang Leehom, and Lin Junjie, those three idiots, had something to do and ran away first.

Otherwise, based on this chorus alone, those three thugs might have fought with him for it.

This immense wealth has finally come to me, Tao, once again.

Chen Ye almost lost his composure when he saw Tao Zhe's impatient expression.

"Of course, Zhe-ge."

Chen Ye patted Tao Zhe on the shoulder as a gesture of respect.

"You've been on this show from the very beginning, so you absolutely have to be in the chorus."

Wang Zhengyu nodded frantically beside him, looking just like an insurance salesman.

"Zhe-ge is our Wuha's original, permanent best friend!"

"Joining the choir is like adding wings to a tiger, it truly enhances our reputation!"

Tao Zhe was overjoyed.

He waved his hands repeatedly in humility, but the upturned corners of his mouth were harder to suppress than an AK.

At the other end of the sofa, Deng Ziqi held a glass of warm water in his hands, his big eyes darting around.

She was actually craving it terribly too.

That's Chen Ye's new song.

Who wouldn't want a taste of the soup?

But the young girl was shy. Seeing a group of older men dividing up the spots, she opened her mouth for a long time but couldn't bring herself to say anything.

In the end, he could only slump backward in frustration, like a wronged hamster.

Chen Ye caught a glimpse of Deng Ziqi out of the corner of his eye and chuckled inwardly.

Once you're in the recording studio, you'll definitely have your moment to shine.

Wang Zhengyu clapped his hands with satisfaction after achieving his goal.

"Alright everyone, thank you all for your hard work today."

"Go back to your rooms, wash up, and rest. We have to move on to another location tonight."

Everyone felt as if they had been granted a pardon.

Everyone groaned and scrambled to their feet from the sofa, returning to their rooms.

Chen Ye put his arm around Song Yuqi's shoulder and slowly walked back to the suite.

As soon as she entered, Song Yuqi kicked off her shoes and stretched out a big yawn.

"I'm exhausted, I'm going to take a shower."

After saying that, she rummaged through her suitcase, pulled out her pajamas, and went into the bathroom.

Hearing the sound of water coming from the bathroom, Chen Ye threw himself onto the soft bed.

He closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the depths of his mind.

"System, open the music store."

"Please select a song that's suitable for a large group sing-along and has a good atmosphere."

A pale blue virtual screen unfolded in Chen Ye's mind.

Countless playlists cascaded down like a waterfall.

Chen Ye was picking and choosing from the Earth's Divine Songs library.

These kinds of variety show theme songs can't be too profound, nor can they be too cheesy.

It should give you a sense of unbridled freedom, like running wildly on the road.

His gaze swept across the room and landed on the title of a song.

Back to Chun Dan Band, "Flowers".

This song is absolutely amazing.

That kind of rock-and-roll-infused scream is perfect for a chorus.

Especially the chorus, it's practically a brainwashing anthem tailor-made for these old guys.

That's it.

"Exchange for 'Flowers'," Chen Ye commanded in his mind.

[Ding! Redemption successful.]

Done and that's it.

Just then, the bathroom door clicked open.

Song Yuqi came out wearing a silk slip dress.

She hadn't washed her hair; her long, burgundy curls were casually tied back.

A few strands of damp hair clung to her fair neck.

She had just finished a hot shower, and her skin had a faint pinkish hue.

Chen Ye grabbed a pair of black shorts and a white T-shirt from the bedside table.

"Honey, you rest first, I'm going to fight."

Chen Ye plunged into the bathroom.

Turn on the shower, rinse with cold water, and casually apply shower gel.

Rinse, dry, and get dressed.

The entire movement was completed in one smooth motion.

Less than five minutes later, Chen Ye came out.

Song Yuqi was lying on the bed scrolling through Douyin when she saw Chen Ye appear like a gust of wind, without even lifting her eyelids.

I'm used to it.

This guy takes a very perfunctory shower.

Chen Ye walked to the bedside, bent down and kissed Song Yuqi on the cheek.

"Honey, if you're tired, you should take a nap. We won't arrive until tonight."

Chen Ye ruffled her hair.

"I'm going to find Brother Chao and the others to talk about company matters."

Song Yuqi nodded obediently, turned over, and continued looking at her phone.

"Go ahead, don't overwork yourself."

Chen Ye pushed open the door and strolled over to Deng Chao's suite.

"Knock knock knock".

The door opened quickly.

Deng Chao was holding his phone, bowing and scraping as he grinned at the screen.

Chen Ye could tell from the scene that she was video chatting with Sun Li.

"Hey, Yezi's here!" Deng Chao grabbed Chen Ye and turned his phone screen around.

On the screen, Sun Li is wearing a face mask.

"Yezi." Sun Li's tone immediately softened when she saw Chen Ye. "You haven't come over for dinner in ages. You've gotten back together with Yuqi, so you have to come over for dinner after filming the show."

When facing this person, Chen Ye put away his usual carefree attitude.

"Xingli, I'll go back now."

At that moment, the screen flickered.

Two little heads squeezed into the frame.

"Godfather!"

Deng Chao's son, Dengdeng, and daughter, Xiaohua, shouted excitedly at the screen.

"Godfather, when are you coming to see me and my sister?"

Chen Ye looked at the two little ones, his eyes softening.

"Wait for your godfather to come back. He'll buy you and your sister toys when he gets back."

After exchanging a few more words with the two children, Chen Ye returned the phone to Deng Chao.

He walked over to the sofa and sat down.

He took out his phone and sent a message in the WeChat group, asking Chen Helu to come over.

After Deng Chao finished speaking with Sun Li, he hung up the video call and sat down opposite Chen Ye.

Chen Ye had actually planned this all along.

When opening an entertainment company, location selection is the top priority.

The circles in Beijing are too murky, while those in Hangzhou are full of online influencers selling products.

After considering all the options, Shanghai is the most suitable.

Shanghai is a financial center that only values ​​money and strength.

A short while later, there was a knock on the door.

As soon as the door opened, Lu Han and Chen He strolled in unsteadily.

These two had obviously just finished showering and were about to catch up on their sleep.

"What's going on? I was just about to take a nap." Chen He slumped onto the sofa, slapping his thigh and complaining.

"Who knows what Old Wang will do when we get there tonight!"

Lu Han sat down next to Chen He, rubbed her eyes, and yawned.

Chen Ye leaned forward.

"Let's discuss where to open the company," Chen Ye said, tapping the coffee table. "I plan to open the company in Shanghai."

Chen He, who had been half-asleep just moments before, opened his eyes.

"That's a good idea. It's convenient since we're in Shanghai too," Chen He nodded.

Lu Han was considering it.

As a true Beijing scion, his first instinct was to side with his home base.

"Yezi, why aren't you in the capital?"

Lu Han ruffled her messy hair, looking completely puzzled.

"I have a lot of connections in Beijing. Most of the big production teams and veterans in the industry are there, so it's convenient to get anything done."

"Moreover, I also have venues in Beijing, so it won't cost me anything."

Chen Ye rolled his eyes.

"Little Deer, use your top-tier brain to think this through."

Chen Ye leaned back on the sofa, rhythmically tapping his knees with his fingers.

"Beijing is a very complex place, with all sorts of old hands from the Beijing and Northwest circles deeply entrenched and bound by rules that are more numerous than hairs on a head."

"If we start our own company as capital, it's like we're stealing food from someone else's territory."

"Do you think those old guys will just stand by and watch us eat our fill without giving us any repercussions?"

Lu Han paused for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully.

That's true. If you really want to grow and become powerful in the capital, dealing with all those social niceties and factions every day can be incredibly annoying.

Chen Ye turned his head, his gaze locked on Chen He, and continued to relentlessly attack.

"As for your concern about money..."

Chen Ye looked disgusted.

"Please broaden your perspective, okay? We aim to become the number one giant in the Chinese entertainment industry!"

"If you set up a run-down factory building as your office, what will happen when top stars like Dilraba come to sign contracts? They'll walk in and think they've stumbled into some kind of illegal coal mine. How embarrassing!"

Lu Han was speechless upon hearing Chen Ye's words.

"I was just thinking that you're starting a business, so we should save money wherever we can..."

"Save my ass."

Deng Chao, who hadn't been able to get a word in edgewise, suddenly slapped his thigh, his face flushed with excitement.

"Shanghai is great! Shanghai is amazing!"

Everyone turned to look at him.

Deng Chao rubbed his hands together, his mouth stretching almost to his ears in a wide grin.

"Think about it, the Empress and the children spend most of their time living in Shanghai."

"If we set up the company there, the three of us can finally enjoy a peaceful life with our wives, kids, and a warm bed. That's what you call balancing work and life!"

A brief silence fell over the suite.

"cut...."

Chen He and Lu Han simultaneously let out a long hiss.

"He's hopeless, this old guy is completely hopeless."

Chen He covered his face, looking heartbroken.

"While that 'wild son' is here strategizing and planning his business empire, all Old Deng can think about is going home every day to wash his wife's feet!"

"Exactly," Lu Han added mercilessly from the side, laughing so hard she was convulsing.

"Brother Chao, your position as the younger brother in the family is getting more and more secure every day."

Deng Chao felt no shame, but rather pride.

"You guys don't know anything. This is what you call a good man of the new era."

Deng Chao raised his chin smugly.

"Anyway, I'm voting for Shanghai, that's settled!"

Chen Ye looked at these three clowns and couldn't help but laugh.

Actually, he had his own ultimate plan for choosing Shanghai.

As a financial center, Shanghai places great emphasis on the spirit of contracts and prioritizes commercial value above all else.

There aren't as many social niceties and considerations based on seniority.

If you have a blockbuster product, investors will actively seek cooperation.

This is extremely suitable for someone like him who has a built-in cheat system and can produce an unlimited number of god-level works.

Moreover, once Dilraba's contract termination saga is completely settled...

Next, we need to prepare a universal termination contract to bring Song Yuqi's girl group back to China.

Shanghai's top-tier fashion and commercial resources can perfectly facilitate the monetization of these female idols' popularity.

Takeoff was seamless.

perfect.

"Alright, the location is settled."

Chen Ye made the decision immediately, adopting the demeanor of a big boss.

"Regarding the office space, Old Deng, you and Brother He have been in Shanghai for a long time. Let's all look for one later."

Chen Ye held up one finger.

"There's only one requirement: it must be in a prime business district, and it must have the most prominent location."

"Money is not a problem, don't try to save me money."

They are wealthy and powerful, and their ambition is boundless.

Lu Han clicked her tongue twice as she looked at Chen Ye's arrogant attitude, as if he didn't care about money at all.

"Yezi, the way you look right now is just like one of those wicked capitalists."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Chen Ye accepted it all without hesitation, raising an eyebrow.

"I not only want to be a capitalist, but I also want to be the biggest protector in the Chinese entertainment industry."

The four of them, in a room, settled the matter of a vast business empire in just a few words.

Rainy Night Star Entertainment, a super giant that will one day completely shatter the ceiling of the global entertainment industry.
