Congratulations on Officially Becoming a Singer

Ke An nodded busily and said, "Exactly, Ye Chen. Those two songs of yours are incredible, especially 'Lonely Warrior'; it's bound to become a massive hit. I never expected you to be such an all-rounder—you can sing, play instruments, and write songs. You're perfectly suited for the path of a true talent."

Seeing that Ye Chen was tempted, Ke An hurried to add more praise, "Ye Chen, someone with your talent and looks is a born superstar. Just like Weiwei, you're the type of person whom the heavens feed, and you belong shining on the stage. You and our Su Ningwei are truly a match made in heaven. Once you make it official, let's see who dares to say you aren't a perfect pair."

A match made in heaven—that sentence struck a chord deep in Ye Chen's heart.

Wasn't that the very purpose of Ye Chen posting the video?

"Then I'll leave everything to you, Sister An. If there's anything I don't do well, please bear with me," Ye Chen replied with a smile.

Ke An said happily, "Don't you worry. With your talent and me by your side, I guarantee I'll make you even more popular than Fu Yi."

"Then I'll be counting on you, Sister An," Ye Chen responded.

Ke An quickly flipped to the pages of the contract that required signatures and pointed them out to Ye Chen. "Sign right here, then."

"Alright." Ye Chen nodded and signed his name on the contract.

The contract was signed in no time.

Ye Chen kept one copy.

Ke An tucked the other copy away with satisfaction, extended her right hand toward Ye Chen, and said with a smile, "Happy to be working with you!"

"Happy to be working with you!" Ye Chen reached out and gave Ke An's hand a light shake.

Ke An picked up her briefcase and said with a smile, "There's still a mountain of work at the company, so I'll head back to arrange the specifics. I won't keep you two any longer."

"Sister An, won't you stay for lunch? A-Chen's cooking is excellent," Su Ningwei said.

Ke An swallowed hard. If breakfast could be that delicious, how could his cooking be anything less?

After thinking it over, Ke An decided that work was more important; she could always eat here next time, as there would be plenty of opportunities to spend time together.

"Forget it, there's really too much to do today. Next time I come, I'll make sure to eat until I'm stuffed before I leave." Ke An stood up and replied with a smile.

Ye Chen stood up to see her off. "You're always welcome. Just let me know in advance next time you come, and I'll buy some extra good ingredients."

"It's a deal. I can bring the ingredients myself, but you'll have to do the cooking. Weiwei, you aren't in the best shape, so don't bother seeing me out. Go back to your room and rest; don't catch a cold," Ke An said.

Su Ningwei held Ke An's hand, reluctant to let go. "Alright, I understand. Sister An, don't push yourself too hard. Make sure to rest and don't forget to eat when you get busy."

"I know, I know. I'm just trying to make life a bit more comfortable for that rebellious son of mine. His grades probably won't get him into a good university, so I'm striving to let him be a happy second-generation rich kid, aren't I? I naturally have to work harder," Ke An patted Su Ningwei's hand and replied with a smile.

Ke An was an independent, strong woman. At forty-three, she had been divorced for ten years and had raised her son, Ke Kaiyu, on her own. She remained unmarried and was incredibly hardworking.

Ye Chen walked Ke An downstairs and even packed a large bag of meat buns for her.

Ke An took the buns and headed back to work in high spirits.

After seeing Ke An off, Ye Chen returned to the bedroom.

Su Ningwei was still sitting at the desk, carefully looking over the contract.

Ye Chen gently wrapped his arms around Su Ningwei's waist from behind.

"Wife, why are you still looking at that instead of lying down to rest?" Ye Chen whispered softly in Su Ningwei's ear.

His gentle breath made Su Ningwei feel a tickle in her heart.

Su Ningwei put the contract away, turned around, hooked her arms around Ye Chen's neck, and said with a smile, "Husband, congratulations on officially becoming a singer."

"It's all thanks to you and the babies that I found the inspiration, and that I was able to meet such a great manager as Sister An," Ye Chen replied with a smile.

Su Ningwei smiled and said, "That's because you have the talent. The terms of this contract are even better than the one I signed back then. Husband, you're truly amazing. I'm already looking forward to seeing you sing on stage and accept awards."

"I'm also looking forward to us standing side by side, singing on stage together," Ye Chen lowered his head and kissed Su Ningwei's forehead.

"Then that will depend on you writing a love song suitable for a duet."

"Then I must carefully brew some inspiration and write a song perfect for us to sing together."

Ye Chen pondered, hoping the system would unlock a song suitable for a couple's duet soon, as songwriting wasn't exactly his forte.

"Hmm, no rush. Let me give you some inspiration first..." Su Ningwei smiled, stood on her tiptoes, and passionately kissed Ye Chen's lips.

Ye Chen held Su Ningwei's waist, savoring her sweetness and passion.

The kiss ended.

"Go practice your singing. The babies are already asleep, and I can watch them just fine," Su Ningwei said with a flushed face, urging Ye Chen to go to the practice room.

Ye Chen said helplessly, "What if the babies wake up later? How will you handle it alone?"

"If I can't handle it, I'll call you. You're home anyway, so it doesn't matter. Just focus on your practice. Believe in me, I can do it," Su Ningwei replied with a smile.

Ye Chen had no choice but to obediently go practice.

With a wife like Su Ningwei, it was hard not to be motivated and strive for excellence.

Ye Chen entered the practice room, sat at the piano, and began to play and sing.

He tried to find inspiration to compose his own music.

Just as Ye Chen was playing with focus, the familiar, youthful voice of the system rang out in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the major main quest of becoming a signed singer for Star Shine Company.]

[Congratulations on unlocking the Top-tier Hacker skill; Arranging skill +1; lyrics and sheet music for "Marry Me Today," performed by Jolin Tsai and David Tao of Earth Star, have been unlocked.]

Ye Chen was ecstatic; the system was truly reliable.

Hadn't the perfect duet song just arrived?

The song "Marry Me Today" was simply too perfect for a public announcement; it was absolutely ideal.

And this +1 to arrangement skills was also exactly what Ye Chen had hoped for.

But a top-tier hacker skill?

A profession is like a mountain; one is separated from other fields by a vast divide.

Ye Chen didn't understand much about these things, and since his computer was always getting infected, he felt a bit of resistance toward this hacking skill.

His impression of hackers was limited to negative things, such as Trojan horses, Panda Burning Incense, and worm viruses...

If a hacker wasn't careful, they could easily end up in prison for the "crime of illegally intruding into a computer information system."

There are no bad skills, only people who use them poorly.

Since the system had provided it, there must be a reason; it certainly had its great uses.

Following that, a massive amount of computer-related knowledge flooded into Ye Chen's brain all at once.

Good heavens!

This volume of information was no less than that of traditional Chinese medicine.

Ye Chen felt a splitting headache.

To be a top-tier hacker, one was clearly no ordinary person.

It hurt like hell...

Ye Chen almost didn't want this skill anymore.

Once the information in his mind had been fully digested.

Ye Chen was utterly shocked.

This top-tier hacker skill was truly incredible!
