Watching Ye Yùwǎn rush out the door, Jiang Chen shook his head with a smile, a hint of self-mockery appearing in his eyes.
Your family? How could Yè Tiānmíng and the others possibly wish to see do well? No matter how good I do, what I’ll surely get is another round of chaotic mockery, right?
Shaking his head to dismiss those thoughts, Jiang Chen continued to check the online reactions. Now that he had beco the general manager and was also Ye Yùwǎn’s agent, he had to stay on top of the latest trends.
...
Ye Yùwǎn hurried back ho, where the whole Ye Jianchang family was gathered, discussing her affairs.
"Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, have you been online? ’Grain in Ear’ is a hit!"
As soon as Ye Yùwǎn entered, she excitedly looked at her family and then stared at Yè Tiānmíng full of sarcasm.
Yè Tiānmíng’s face showed so embarrassnt, then he curled his lip, "What’s there to be excited about? It’s just a fluke. That loser Jiang Chen could only produce this one hit song."
"That’s right!" Grandma Ye nodded and said, "Yu Wan, now that you’re a hit, you should quickly change to having soone from our own family as your agent. We can’t let that outsider Jiang Chen make money off of this."
"Exactly, Yu Wan, let be your agent, rest assured, I will do it a million tis better than Jiang Chen!" Yè Tiānmíng’s eyes lit up.
If he beca Yu Wan’s agent and entered Sihai Entertainnt, and with Yu Wan’s rise to fa, wouldn’t those little stars plead for Yu Wan’s support? At that ti...
As he thought more about it, Yè Tiānmíng began to feel excited.
"Right, let Tian Ming be your agent and get rid of that loser Jiang Chen," Li Cuilian chid in agreent.
"No!" Yu Wan objected imdiately, dousing Tian Ming’s head with a bucket of cold water, "I’m not changing. It’s not a fluke, Jiang Chen is really amazing."
"Amazing my ass, if he’s amazing, then I’m Superman!" Yè Tiānmíng said discontentedly.
Ye Jianchang spoke in a stern voice, "Yu Wan, stop ssing around. Hurry up and replace him, let Tian Ming be your agent. Don’t you want soone familiar? Isn’t Tian Ming more familiar than Jiang Chen?"
"Exactly, hurry up and switch out that waste. He just happened to write this one song. Don’t let him fool you. I heard that loser is very deceitful!" Li Cuilian said with feigned concern.
Grandma Ye’s face darkened as she spoke, "Yu Wan, don’t be ridiculous. Hurry up and replace Jiang Chen. How can our family’s hard-earned money go to such a loser? Let Tian Ming earn this money!"
Yu Wan frowned and said, "What are you guys doing? My success is all thanks to my brother-in-law."
"What contribution is his? It’s your voice and singing skills that are amazing," Li Cuilian countered unhappily.
Yè Tiānmíng took the opportunity to speak up, "Exactly, what has that loser Jiang Chen contributed? It’s just that you, my sister, have good innate talents. He just happened to write a song, that’s not considered a contribution at all. Let your big brother be your agent. Together as siblings, we will surely reach the top of the world."
"Just get rid of Jiang Chen!" Grandma Ye urged once again.
"I won’t change!" Yu Wan yelled angrily and stord out of the house.
Back at the company, Yu Wan pondered for a mont and then headed to the general manager’s office again.
This ti, Yu Wan knocked on the door.
"Co in," a voice called from inside the office.
Yu Wan opened the door and walked in.
"Yu Wan? I thought you went ho?" Jiang Chen was surprised to see Yu Wan.
Yu Wan hesitated for a mont, then spoke softly, "Brother-in-law, can you help write a few more songs? One is not enough. ’Grain in Ear’ is a big hit now, and while the montum is high, releasing a few more good songs would be perfect for climbing up."
"This..." Jiang Chen was taken aback.
"Oh, brother-in-law," Yu Wan went behind the office desk, took hold of Jiang Chen’s arm, and began to shake it, "Please write a few more songs for , please!"
Jiang Chen felt the soft touch on his arm, his heart skipped, and he quickly said, "Alright, alright, I’ll write. Stop shaking."
Anyway, there were many songs in his mory; a few more would not be a problem.
Click!
"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Yu Wan quickly pecked Jiang Chen on the cheek, laughed, and said as she walked towards the door, "I won’t disturb you any longer, get to writing."
Jiang Chen was stunned for a mont, watching Yu Wan’s departing figure. He touched his kissed cheek and shook his head helplessly.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Chen wrote four more songs that were smash hits in his mory for Yè Yùwǎn.
This ti, everyone in the company knew that President Jiang had written songs for Yè Yùwǎn again, but this ti no one ridiculed her; they were all looking forward to her new songs. So colleagues even ran to the recording studio every day to ask Li Mingfeng and others if Yè Yùwǎn had co to record her songs yet.
With diligent practice, Yè Yùwǎn quickly learned the songs and then pulled Jiang Chen to the recording studio.
"President Jiang, what instructions do you have for us?" Li Mingfeng and the others stood up to greet Jiang Chen when he arrived, looking at him with faces full of admiration.
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "Nothing particular, just wrote a few songs, brought Yu Wan to record them."
"They’re ready so soon?!"
"Really?"
"That fast? That’s so impressive!"
"We’re in for a treat!"
The staff of the recording studio all lit up, their eyes glued on Yè Yùwǎn.
Feeling embarrassed by their stares, Yè Yùwǎn hurried into the recording booth.
Jiang Chen took a seat next to Liu Changjiang, who proactively handed him a pair of headphones, then looked at Jiang Chen eagerly.
"President Jiang, what’s the na of this first song?"
"Learning to ow."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded again.
What kind of na was Learning to ow? Was that supposed to be the title of a song? Could it even be a song?
Doubts began to creep in amongst them once more.
But Jiang Chen didn’t care in the slightest, after all, they’d know once they listened. He gestured an OK sign to Yè Yùwǎn.
The intro started playing, and Yè Yùwǎn began to sing.
"Holy shit!"
The crowd was stupefied once more.
This song was overly enchanting.
Before long, everyone inside the room was owing along.
After the song was recorded, everyone looked at Jiang Chen as if he was a god.
I’m convinced! Totally convinced!
The next three songs were just as classic, so compelling they brought you to your knees, srizing everyone in the recording studio.
After finishing the songs, Yè Yùwǎn ca out of the recording booth and was about to ask how it went, when Jiang Chen gestured for her to be quiet and nodded towards Liu Changjiang and the others.
Yè Yùwǎn glanced over and saw that everyone in the studio was still lost in the reverie of her singing and couldn’t help but smile confidently.
"Let’s go." Jiang Chen mouthed to Yè Yùwǎn, and they quietly left the recording studio.
It was only after Jiang Chen and Yè Yùwǎn had left that Li Mingfeng and the others snapped back to reality.
"That was amazing!"
"Absolutely fantastic!"
"I’ve never heard songs this good before!"
"Right! President Jiang, you are too cool!"
A chorus of praises filled the recording studio.
