Who Can Be Seduced Away

"Wasn't it said that we would wait until you finished your postpartum recovery before making the official announcement? And that we would discuss forming a CP to debut together later?" Ye Chen lowered his head and kissed Su Ningwei on the forehead.

Ye Chen felt Su Ningwei's softness and warmth, and the slight unease in his heart was instantly dispelled, leaving him feeling incredibly grounded.

Su Ningwei snuggled into Ye Chen's arms and said with a smile, "That was before Sister An discovered that you actually have a talent for songwriting and are so skilled with musical instruments. You could debut on your own and become a huge star. Sister An and the company naturally couldn't sit still, terrified that you might be snatched up by someone else."

"Sister An's worries are unnecessary. Since I gave you my word, I will never go back on it," Ye Chen replied.

"I told her the same thing, but Sister An is still uneasy and wants to sign you first. She's been good to me and is very capable, so since she's insisted, you might as well sign."

"Companionship is the longest confession of love; I don't want to go out to work so early. You and the babies need someone to take care of you most right now, and I just want to stay home and look after you all." Ye Chen wanted to become famous, but not at the cost of neglecting Su Ningwei and their three babies.

For Ye Chen, becoming famous was only a matter of time. He didn't want to be absent during the period when Su Ningwei and the three babies needed him the most.

Su Ningwei cupped Ye Chen's face and said earnestly, "Then let's discuss it again after Sister An comes tomorrow. I also can't bear to let you go out to work so soon. You're so handsome—what if you get snatched away by some other woman?"

Ye Chen replied sincerely, "Don't worry. My heart is very small; it can only hold you. My body and my heart are both yours; no one can take me away."

This woman was indeed lacking a sense of security. As her husband, he naturally had to provide her with plenty of it so she would become increasingly gentle and adorable.

"Your mouth is so sweet; if you can talk like that, say more." Su Ningwei smiled and kissed Ye Chen's lips, filled with joy and a sense of complete security.

Ye Chen's smile deepened as he returned the kiss.

Treating one's wife well really did bring its own rewards, didn't it?

The kiss was sweet and wonderful.

Magic City.

Inside the president's office at Starlight Entertainment.

Du Jun sat in the executive chair, his eyes gleaming as he watched Ye Chen's videos on the computer.

"Not bad. This Ye Chen is a real talent. Find a way to get him here, and make sure Star Shine Media doesn't beat us to it this time," Du Jun said with a look of absolute determination.

Li San, an agent at Starlight Entertainment, said, "Understood, President Du. I was thinking of offering him the position of leader of the Starlight Boy Band, plus an annual salary of one million, to invite Ye Chen. What do you think?"

"Do it. As long as you can secure this Ye Chen for me, offer whatever terms are needed. Based on these two singles alone, a million-a-year salary isn't a loss, and Ye Chen can certainly handle the position of leader for the Starlight Boy Band," Du Jun nodded repeatedly.

Gao Zuo, who was standing to the side, turned anxious the moment he heard Li San intended to give the Starlight Boy Band's leadership to Ye Chen.

Gao Zuo had dreamed of that position, but his talent wasn't enough, and the company had never given him the chance.

He had been hoping to earn the spot by helping the company secure more advertisements.

He never expected the company to hand the position over to a pauper like Ye Chen so easily.

Gao Zuo had also watched Ye Chen's videos, and he felt both shocked and bitter.

He's just lucky, he thought. The rich woman keeping him must have spent a fortune to hire someone to write such good songs for him.

Gao Zuo was incredibly annoyed. He ignored all of Ye Chen's other merits and blamed his own bad luck for not buying better songs; otherwise, he would be the one on fire.

Once he received the new track written by the gold-medal composer Jin Qu, he would surely be a hundred, no, ten thousand times more popular than Ye Chen. He was destined to be the next King of Songs.

Gao Zuo had already started daydreaming...

"President Du, Brother Li, don't worry, leave this to me. This Ye Chen is my classmate. He's dirt poor—back in school, he couldn't even afford a Pineapple phone, and he has a crippled father at home. He'll be out of his mind with joy to join Starlight Entertainment. Offering him an annual salary of 500,000 is already generous enough; he'll sign it in a heartbeat. There's no need to give him the position of Starlight Boy Band leader," Gao Zuo said confidently.

"Are you sure?" Du Jun looked at Gao Zuo with suspicion.

However, Du Jun was a businessman; he naturally wanted to maximize profits and would be happier to sign Ye Chen at a lower cost.

"I'm sure. As long as I step in, Ye Chen will definitely agree," Gao Zuo replied quickly, a sinister and vicious smile on his face.

Gao Zuo was so confident because he held dirt on Ye Chen.

If Ye Chen dared to refuse, Gao Zuo would leak the scandalous videos of him and see how he could possibly survive in this industry.

"Alright then, I'll leave this to you. Xiao Li, get the contract ready, and have Xiao Gao finalize this tomorrow," Du Jun said, nodding in agreement after seeing Gao Zuo's firm tone.

Seeing that Du Jun had agreed, Gao Zuo felt a surge of joy and seized the opportunity to ask for a benefit: "Then, if I can get Ye Chen to sign the contract, the position of Starlight Boy Band leader..."

Du Jun pondered for a moment before replying, "Fine. If you can get Ye Chen to sign, the position is yours."

Gao Zuo's terms were a bit lacking, and he wasn't really cut out for the leadership role, but if the reaction was poor, he could just be replaced. Compared to the potential of Ye Chen, this trial-and-error cost was still worth it.

Du Jun was calculating everything in his head. He could already imagine that once Ye Chen joined the company, he would mold him into the next King of Songs. He wanted to show those people at Star Shine Media, Huaguang Entertainment, and Tianma Media that Starlight Entertainment could produce a King of Songs, too.

Li San frowned slightly when he heard Du Jun say this, but he didn't say a word.

Singing wasn't like other things; beyond looks, it relied heavily on talent. If one's own conditions weren't up to par, no matter how much traffic or capital the company poured in, it wouldn't necessarily lead to success.

Gao Zuo, however, was overjoyed and happily urged Li San to prepare the contract.

The Star Shine Media building was brightly lit.

An emergency high-level meeting was being held in the executive conference room.

The attendees were all shareholders, executives, and core members of Star Shine Media.

On the projection screen, Ye Chen's two videos were playing.

It was Ke An who had worked overtime that afternoon to create a proposal to sign Ye Chen ahead of time, specifically requesting this temporary meeting.

Ke An's eye for talent was second to none at Star Shine Media.

Everyone was naturally curious: who was the lucky person Ke An had chosen this time, to the point of personally tailoring a proposal for them?
