When he returned to the Capital City, it was already dusk.
Even though it wasn't yet ti to get off work, Ye Huan left the coach station, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for the Li Industrial Park, planning to go ho with the won after they finished work.
But upon arriving at the park, seeing nearly ten thousand girls with fanatical eyes blocked by security outside the entrance, seemingly waiting for soone, Ye Huan's heart skipped a beat.
Could these girls all be mbers of that so-called "Ye Prince's Harem Group"?
Did chasing celebrities bring them here?
"Driver, do you know what's going on here?" Ye Huan pointed to the park entrance.
"Kid, you don't know?"
The driver enthusiastically explained, "Those young girls, they're all here to chase celebrities. Early this morning, Tianyun International announced the successful developnt of a new skincare cream, 'Phantom,' and they plan to hold a launch event this evening at the Li Industrial Park with the new product's spokesperson—the Defenseless Boy Band."
"The Defenseless Boy Band is particularly popular, with a fan base exceeding one hundred million altogether; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them the world's top boy band. Countless girls spend money and go crazy over them."
"But really, it's thanks to the shallowness of today's young girls. I've seen those three perform; their acting's bad, singing's terrible, and dancing's awkward. They're surviving entirely on their looks—absolutely no talent. If the girls weren't so shallow, they'd never get popular."
"Speaking of which, young man, I think you're much more handso than them! Your looks could easily beat the three of them combined without a doubt. Also..."
The driver paused, sowhat puzzled, "Why do you seem so familiar?"
"Do I? Perhaps I've taken your cab before." Ye Huan brushed it off casually, paid the fare, and put on a baseball cap and sunglasses before getting out of the car.
He breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, these girls weren't here for him!
Otherwise, with so many girls, he really wouldn't be able to handle it!
Ye Huan exerted a bit of effort but eventually managed to thread his way through the throng and entered the park, heading directly to Tianyun International.
Little did he know that shortly after he left, the star-chasing crowd beca restless.
"Do you think we'll get to see Young Master Ye today?"
"I don't know. I've heard Young Master Ye hasn't been to the company for work in a long ti. Honestly, our chance of seeing him today is very slim."
"Oh, I hope the heavens open their eyes and let see Young Master Ye just once; lately, I've dread every night of him shielding from a bomb's damage and kissing !"
" too, I'd give anything to see Young Master Ye once!"
"Sisters, let's pray in our hearts; surely, we'll move the heavens and get to see Young Master Ye!"
Hearing this, the stunning girls, clad in various dresses with charming looks, all nodded and closed their eyes, sincerely praying in their hearts!
Among these ten thousand girls, so were top actresses, so were female CEOs of large enterprises, so were heiresses of prominent families, and so were the top-tier rich and beautiful in a certain city.
Upon learning that Tianyun International would be hosting a new product launch with the Defenseless Boy Band, they imdiately secured entry to the event through various channels and rushed over.
The reason was simple.
The Defenseless Boy Band, being the world's top boy band, commands endorsent fees of at least hundreds of millions!
Tianyun International spending so much to have the Defenseless Boy Band endorse their new product shows they really value this new launch!
If it's that important, there's a chance that Ye Huan, as the vice president, might appear at the launch and deliver a speech about the new product, right?
With that hypothesis, they ca to the Li Industrial Park!
Even if there's a one percent chance, they're willing to gamble and wait!
Seeing Ye Huan in person is their ultimate dream!
As for the Defenseless Boy Band, all three mbers are quite handso, but compared to Ye Huan, their looks are pretty diocre!
Moreover, those three are neither masculine nor feminine; simply put, just a bunch of sissies!
These top-tier girls would never fancy sissies!
The only one who could drive them wild is soone like Ye Huan, full of masculinity, responsibility, and high facial value!
So, on the surface, they are here to chase the Defenseless Boy Band, but the real "star" they're after is Ye Huan!
anwhile.
Inside the lobby of Tianyun International.
"President Liu, it's not that we're inflating the price, it's just that, considering our status, the endorsent fee should be much more than this."
"You should know we are the world's top boy band, with a combined fan base of 1.5 billion, almost on par with World Celestial Queen Lilith."
"Moreover, what's the big deal about paying us so extra endorsent fees now? We have the fa; once your product launches, our fans will definitely rush to buy, and in a year or so, you'll break even and start profiting."
"In short, if you can't et our demands."
"Then, sorry, no deal."
On the guest sofa in the lobby, three n with center-parted hair and garish makeup sat with orchid fingers held high, speaking arrogantly.
They are the three mbers of the Defenseless Boy Band!
Liu Tianyun and Zhang Huimin's already grim faces turned even more so upon hearing this: "We previously agreed to an endorsent fee of 1.5 billion; suddenly raising it to 4.5 billion, an increase by three tis, isn't that going too far? Can you have a bit of contractual spirit?"
"President Liu, in this day and age, what is contractual spirit compared to money?"
The Defenseless Boy Band's leader, Jiang Chenglu, shouted, "If you want the launch event to proceed smoothly and for us to go on stage, better transfer 4.5 billion endorsent fee into our account, got it?"
"No way!"
Liu Tianyun was so angry that her beautiful eyes widened.
Inflating the price so brazenly and arrogantly!
She had never seen such shaless people before!
"President Liu, don't be so absolute; if 4.5 billion doesn't work, 4 billion is fine, it's negotiable."
"How about this, minimum 3.5 billion!"
"I'll give you ten minutes to consider; if you still don't accept this amount, then sorry, find soone else to endorse it."
Jiang Chenglu, knowing 4.5 billion was untenable after Liu's quick refusal, took the initiative to lower the price since 3.5 billion would still be extra 2 billion in profit.
After a sheepish grin, he continued to coax, "President Liu, seeing the quality and scale of our fans outside the park, you should know hiring us to endorse it would never lead to a loss, right? Though 3.5 billion is pricey, for you, it only ans a delay in breakeven by a year or two. Once that's over, you can start making a profit."
Liu Tianyun's eyebrows furrowed, her face looking terrible.
Without saying much, she pulled Zhang Huimin by the arm to discuss it backstage.
Not long after they left, Ye Huan entered the company lobby and upon inquiring at the front desk, found that the two won had gone to the backstage, so he followed along.
