Full of Sincerity

Ke An quickly replied, "Not at all, not at all. This is already incredibly lavish. I usually just grab some Soy Milk and Fried Dough Sticks from a roadside stall to get by, and sometimes I even forget to eat breakfast."

"Please sit down first. I'll serve it up for you," Ye Chen said as he headed into the kitchen, returning with steaming hot meat buns and mushroom chicken congee.

Ke An was starving and didn't stand on ceremony, picking up her chopsticks and stuffing food into her mouth.

"Mmm... These buns are amazing. Where did you buy them? I'll get some myself later. And this mushroom chicken congee is so fresh." Ke An ate until her mouth was slick with oil, unable to stop.

As Ye Chen served Su Ningwei some mushroom chicken congee, he replied, "I made the buns myself. There are still some frozen ones left. If you want, I can pack some up for you to take home later."

"You made them?" Ke An's jaw practically dropped.

Ye Chen could actually make buns. He was far too impressive.

Who could resist a man who could cook?

For someone like Ke An, whose cooking skills stopped at instant noodles, there was simply no resisting a man who knew his way around the kitchen, okay?

That girl Su Ningwei had actually hidden such a wonderful husband for so long?

If she had a husband that good, she would have shown him off every single day.

Ke An's favorable impression of Ye Chen shot up rapidly.

"Of course." Ye Chen picked up the breakfast he had prepared for Su Ningwei and said with a smile, "Please keep eating. I'll take Su Ningwei her breakfast first and come right back down."

Ke An stuffed a bun into her mouth and nodded. "Mm, okay..."

Carrying the breakfast, Ye Chen went upstairs and entered the master bedroom.

Su Ningwei had just finished feeding all three babies.

Li Mei was changing Dabao's diaper.

"The mushroom chicken congee is ready too. Do you want another two meat buns?" Ye Chen looked very satisfied at the empty plates on the little table.

Su Ningwei nodded. "Mm, the meat buns you made are so delicious. I want two more."

"Here. Be careful, the congee is hot." Ye Chen sat beside Su Ningwei, scooped up a spoonful of congee, and blew on it.

Su Ningwei picked up a meat bun and fed it into Ye Chen's mouth. "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Hurry and take a bite. The buns you made are so delicious, a hundred times better than the ones from shops."

"Of course they are. My buns are filled with love and premium pork shoulder. Oh, right, Sister An came to see you. She brought quite a few gifts." Ye Chen took a bite of the bun and replied with a smile.

The moment Su Ningwei heard that Ke An had come, she hurriedly said, "Sister An is here? Then why haven't you brought her upstairs?"

"She's downstairs having congee and buns. I'll go down now and bring her up in a bit. Eat your fill first." As Ye Chen spoke, he fed another spoonful of congee into Su Ningwei's mouth.

After swallowing the congee Ye Chen had fed her, Su Ningwei quickly said, "Mm... You don't need to feed me. I can eat by myself. Hurry downstairs and keep Sister An company while she eats. It's Sister An's first time visiting our home, so don't neglect her. Sister An will need to properly plan out your path to stardom in the future."

"Okay, but make sure you finish all of this." Ye Chen put down the bowl of congee, gently tapped Su Ningwei's nose with his finger, then got up and went downstairs.

When Ye Chen returned to the dining room,

Ke An had already finished a large bowl of congee and two meat buns.

Ye Chen said, "I'll get you another bowl."

"Okay, thank you." Ke An didn't stand on ceremony and replied with a smile.

The congee and buns were simply too delicious. So what if she gained weight? Only by eating her fill would she have the strength to lose weight.

She was exhausted like a dog every day, so she had to eat more.

After breakfast,

Ye Chen led Ke An into the master bedroom.

When Su Ningwei saw Ke An, she greeted her with a smile. "Sister An, you finally came. I missed you so much."

"There was just too much going on at the company. Thanks to your husband, I was able to get away and come see you today." Ke An replied with a smile.

Ke An bent down to look at the three babies, her eyes curving with her smile. "The three babies have grown quite a bit. They're even cuter now, so lovable."

As she spoke, Ke An took out three large red envelopes from her bag and placed them beside the babies.

After Su Ningwei and Ke An chatted for a while,

all three babies fell asleep.

Ye Chen, Su Ningwei, and Ke An went to the study next door to discuss business.

Ke An took a document folder out of her briefcase.

"President Pei and the company executives think very highly of Ye Chen. They believe he has the potential to become the next King of Songs, and they take him very seriously. I worked overtime last night to prepare this contract. Take a look and see if there's anything you're dissatisfied with. I can revise it." Ke An smiled as she handed two contracts to Su Ningwei and Ye Chen respectively.

Ye Chen and Su Ningwei accepted the contracts.

Although Ye Chen had no plans to debut so soon, he still read through the contract very carefully.

After finishing it, Ye Chen and Su Ningwei exchanged surprised looks.

The company was offering far too much, and the terms were exceptionally good.

It was a flexible three-year contract with plenty of freedom and no exploitative clauses.

There was a three-million signing bonus.

The copyrights to the songs would still belong to Ye Chen.

The base salary was two hundred thousand a month, and the revenue split was twenty-eighty, with Ye Chen receiving eighty percent.

Back when Su Ningwei had signed with the company, her split had only been thirty-seventy.

The highest revenue split in the industry was ninety-ten, but that artist was the boss's wife herself, and the boss was her husband.

After completing three years, he would also receive ten percent of Star Shine Media's shares.

The terms offered by Star Shine Media were brimming with sincerity. They were just afraid Ye Chen would refuse to sign.

There were currently roughly two kinds of singers: signed singers and independent singers.

Signed singers were handled by record companies, which planned, packaged, produced, promoted, and distributed their work.

Independent singers, on the other hand, planned and produced their own music.

Both models had their own advantages and drawbacks. Independent singers could control the style of their music and image themselves, after all, they were the ones footing the bill.

However, what was most lacking right now were all kinds of music teams, from songwriting and composition to album post-production and promotion and distribution.

Ye Chen currently did not have the energy to handle all that. Besides, Star Shine Media offered considerable freedom, and the copyrights would still belong to him, making it a truly excellent choice.

"So? Are you satisfied with the plan I made? This arrangement won't affect Ye Chen taking care of you and the three babies, while also allowing him to maintain his popularity." Ke An said enthusiastically.

Seeing that Ye Chen still seemed somewhat hesitant, Ke An quickly added, "For the first two years, Ye Chen only needs to record new songs whenever he has time and livestream for one hour a day. If there are any programs to appear on, we'll work around your schedule and never force anything. By the third year, your children will be older, and we can arrange other work then."

"It's all clearly stated in this supplementary contract as well." As Ke An spoke, she took out another two contracts and handed them to Ye Chen and Su Ningwei.

After reading the supplementary contract, Ye Chen could not help but marvel at how considerate and practical Ke An was. She had considered all of Ye Chen's concerns and resolved every one of them.

This contract had practically been tailored specifically for Ye Chen. Refusing to sign it would feel like letting Ke An down.

No wonder Su Ningwei spoke so highly of Ke An and trusted her so much.

Ye Chen looked at Su Ningwei and asked, "Weiwei, what do you think?"

"With Sister An's plan, you'll be able to balance your family and career. I think it's great. I think more people should hear you sing and see your talent." Su Ningwei replied.

It was also Su Ningwei's first time seeing a company offer such generous terms to a newcomer. There was practically nothing to criticize.

It seemed the company truly valued Ye Chen and had spared no expense.

It also showed that Ye Chen truly had potential and ability.
