Yang Yu and Sun Chen t on the rooftop of the Victoria Hotel.
Both n overlook the entire Xiang Island, bathed in brilliant lights, a sight too beautiful for words.
"Having money is truly great," Sun Chen said with a smile, "but it has beco my nightmare and shackles."
"Then what?" Yang Yu asked in return, "What are you going to do now?"
"I told my dad that I want nothing to do with the Sun Family’s wealth," Sun Chen said calmly, "I’m cutting ties with the Sun Family and am going to elope with Mrs. Shen."
Yang Yu said, "Did your dad agree?"
"He agreed, on the condition that I have to produce a son to carry on the Sun Family lineage, and my son could be raised by him," Sun Chen said with a bitter smile, "If I don’t have a son, no matter where I run off to, I won’t be able to live in peace."
"Sa old, I won’t stop you, but you need to resolve all potential dangers," Yang Yu said, "You still haven’t accounted for the last incident. If you can’t bear to do it yourself, then let . You’re afraid of your dad, but I’m not."
"My sister and brother-in-law swear they didn’t do it, and they also vowed never to send an assassin to kill the person I love. Should they break their oath, they are willing to accept any punishnt."
Sun Chen gave a wry smile, "Although I don’t trust them, I have to give so face to my dad. Just this once, there will be no next ti. Yang Yu, consider it a favor I’m asking of you, can we let bygones be bygones?"
Yang Yu snorted lightly, "You’ll have to ask my mother-in-law. If she forgives you, I definitely won’t have a problem."
"Alright," Sun Chen nodded, "I’ll call Mrs. Shen tomorrow, Yang Yu, thank you."
When Sun Chen left, Yang Yu sighed as he watched his retreating figure, "Such a passionate and naive man. I just wonder if the people of the Sun Family can protect that innocence of his."
The next day, Yang Yu, Tong Li’er, and Wen Yun went to inspect Fang’s Entertainnt Company on Xiang Island.
During the last century, the entertainnt industry in Xiang Island was highly developed and was known as the "Eastern Hollywood."
Many superstar singers and actors erged, once dominating the entertainnt scene in Xia Country.
Although the entertainnt industry in Xiang Island is not what it used to be, it is still very powerful.
Wen Yun’s visit was to see if there was any experience worth learning from or opportunities for cooperation.
Zheng Yan had already communicated with the Fang Family in advance, so as soon as the three of them arrived at the doorstep of Fang’s Entertainnt Company, a female agent in her forties was waiting for them: "Mr. Yang, Ms. Wen, Ms. Tong, hello, I am Ji Yuqing from Fang’s Entertainnt Company, you can call Sister Qing."
"Hello, Sister Qing," the three of them greeted Ji Yuqing in unison. Ji Yuqing was a bit flattered and couldn’t help but feel a good impression of them.
She knew their status but they carried themselves without any pretense. Her company’s young masters and misses simply couldn’t compare. Alas!
"Please follow ," Ji Yuqing led the three of them into the building, starting to introduce, "The primary sources for our company’s new talents used to be scouts and open auditions, and now it includes online selections, which you’re probably familiar with."
"One area where we might be different is in the thod of our open auditions. Your auditions are very spectacular and full of fanfare, even using the process as a ans of making money, not really caring if suitable stars are selected."
"We, on the other hand, get straight to the point in our auditions. Simple and direct. If it’s a go, it’s a go, if not, it’s not, all in the service of the selection process."
"Look, over there they’re selecting new talents, do you want to go take a look?"
Yang Yu smiled slightly, "Sure, let’s go."
The four went over to the selection site, which was a secluded room.
Apart from the candidates and judges, the rest of the candidates waited outside the room.
Through a mirror behind the room, Yang Yu and his party could see inside. They were using a special observation channel reserved for the company’s upper echelons.
A very pretty girl was coquettishly pleading to the five judges, "Dear seniors, please let pass. I may not have talent, but I’m beautiful!"
The judges shook their heads, "You sing off-key, dance erratically, can’t rember your lines, have no skills, just a pretty face. We sign artists, not beauty queens. Go ho, stop this nonsense."
"Yeah, you think this is dostic entertainnt, where being pretty and making headlines, and having brain-dead fans is enough, with morized lines as numbers?"
Cough, cough. Yang Yu cleared his throat twice, and Ji Yuqing gave a slight smile, "Sorry, Mr. Yang, I’ll have them correct that stereotype."
The woman got furious on the spot, making a scene, "Just last night, Young Master Fang Ziyang didn’t say that in my bed. He said, with just one word from him, I could beco a superstar. Call your Young Master Fang Ziyang right now, or I’m going to cause a scene outside!"
The judges had no choice but to make a call, though the process didn’t seem too pleasant.
"Mr. Yan, you can’t do this... this is the company’s policy; it’s the rules set by your grandfather..."
After hanging up, the judge who made the call was visibly aggravated, frowning deeply.
Without saying, from his expression, it was obvious that the woman’s claim was true.
Soon, a man in his twenties burst into the audition room and said to the caller, "Zhang Wei, stop throwing your weight around! The whole company belongs to our family; we make the rules. I ask you again, are you going to let my sweetheart pass the audition?"
Zhang Wei shook his head, "Mr. Yan, sorry, I can’t sign off on this... Ah!"
Fang Ziyang kicked Zhang Wei in the stomach, causing so much pain that Zhang Wei bent over like a cooked shrimp.
"You’re just a dog of our family, acting all dignified with ?" Fang Ziyang then slapped Zhang Wei’s face repeatedly, swelling it up.
The pretty woman stood behind Fang Ziyang, her face smug as she muttered under her breath, "Serves him right!"
Ji Yuqing couldn’t stand it anymore and stord in through the back door, "Mr. Yan, please conduct yourself with dignity!"
"Dignity?" Fang Ziyang glanced at Ji Yuqing dismissively, "What right do you, who sold herself to my father, have to tell to behave? If it weren’t for my father holding back, you’d have been stripped and paraded in the streets by my mother!"
Ji Yuqing’s face turned steel blue with anger but she spat out a threat, "If you keep this up, I’m going to call Mr. Fang right now!"
Without further ado, Ji Yuqing took out her phone, ready to make the call.
Slap!
Fang Ziyang slapped Ji Yuqing across the face, then swiftly snatched the phone from her hand, threw it to the ground, and stomped on it viciously, shattering it to pieces, "Wench, stop using my father to threaten . Try calling now, I dare you!"
Ji Yuqing was stunned by the slap, and it took her a mont to regain her senses, her eyes full of defiance, "Fine, then I’ll call again!"
