Chapter 502: National Goddess 495 (9) Fourth Update

Hearing the sudden praise, Ye Xuxu’s face lit up with joy.

However, she didn’t interject into the conversation among the few heavyweights.

Zhu Wenhao grabbed a glass of wine handed to him by a waiter. He didn’t take Bai Yunci seriously either; the guy hadn’t even seen through the simple situation at the board meeting.

Zhu Wenhao found him utterly uninteresting.

He languidly took a sip of his wine, "I really want to see what kind of talented new face he’s going to bring to Li, the Agent, this time."

As soon as he finished that sentence, several of Zhu Wenhao’s cronies laughed in unison.

Glancing towards Bai Yunci’s direction, their eyes naturally carried a trace of scorn.

A moment later, perhaps recalling something, Zhu Wenhao put down his glass and walked directly towards Bai Yunci.

"Yunci," he approached Bai Yunci, glanced at him, "I didn’t expect to see you at this kind of banquet. I thought you didn’t like these sorts of gatherings."

Bai Yunci saw Zhu Wenhao but showed no particular expression.

He was always lazy and arrogant, unfailingly maintaining a calm demeanor regardless of the situation.

Upon seeing Zhu Wenhao, he simply raised his glass and greeted him with a neutral tone, "Cousin."

His voice was notably cold, carrying a hint of disregard for others.

Zhu Wenhao’s face changed on the spot upon hearing it.

Still, he had been in the business world for years and managed his emotions exceptionally well.

Almost instantly, a smile returned to his face, "Yunci, let me introduce you. This is Ye Xuxu, a new singer recently signed by Star Entertainment."

He pointed towards Ye Xuxu.

Zhu Wenhao knew that when he was trying to secure Ye Xuxu, the people from Hui Chen had also tried hard to sign her.

However, with the state Hui Chen was in, any artist with a bit of vision wouldn’t be caught dead signing with them.

Bai Yunci’s gaze merely swept indifferently across Ye Xuxu’s face, without a ripple of interest.

Not seeing the reaction he wanted on Bai Yunci’s face, Zhu Wenhao was very disappointed.

However, he didn’t care much, assuming Bai Yunci was simply unaware that he was set to secure Li the Agent as his own.

Just as he was about to leave, a woman in a black dress walked towards Bai Yunci.

It was no wonder Zhu Wenhao looked at the woman in the black dress.

She was exceptionally distinctive, radiating a lazy yet enchanting aura that was very eye-catching.

Zhu Wenhao had seen his fair share of beauties, but this woman with her unique charisma still managed to captivate him.

"Have you arrived?" Bai Yunci’s expression warmed slightly when he saw Ye Shaohua.

He even handed her a glass of red wine.

Ye Shaohua glanced at the banquet and nodded slightly, "Mm, got held up on the way."

She didn’t drink the wine. Instead, she beckoned a waiter over, set the wine down, and picked up a glass of juice.

Now that she was a singer, she tried to avoid alcohol and things like chili that were harsh on the throat as much as possible.

Seeing her action, Bai Yunci felt somewhat careless for a moment.

Ye Xuxu’s expression changed instantly when she saw Ye Shaohua.

One, she hadn’t expected to encounter Ye Shaohua here; two, she hadn’t anticipated that Ye Shaohua would be so well acquainted with the Bai Family’s heir!

Her fingers tightened as she watched Ye Shaohua, a shadow of malice crossing her eyes.

Zhu Wenhao and the others failed to catch her expression.

"Cousin, is she a new artist signed by your company?" Zhu Wenhao asked warily, giving Ye Shaohua another look. Everything about her, from her appearance to her voice, was strikingly attention-grabbing.

If she was the one Bai Yunci planned to promote.

Zhu Wenhao figured she would be Ye Xuxu’s biggest competitor.

Having met many artists in the Entertainment Circle, Zhu Wenhao did have an eye for potential, and he could naturally tell that Ye Shaohua had the makings of a star.

"Mm," Bai Yunci nodded indifferently at Zhu Wenhao, "I’m taking her to meet a few people."

After he finished speaking, he left with Ye Shaohua.

After his departure, Zhu Wenhao’s expression darkened. He turned to his assistant, "Go find out who that woman with him really is."

At that moment, Ye Xuxu bit her lip.

She looked at Zhu Wenhao, hesitating, "President Zhu, no need to check, that person... I actually know her."

"You know her?" Zhu Wenhao hadn’t expected Ye Xuxu to be acquainted with Ye Shaohua, "Who is she? Do you think you can poach her for our company?"

Hearing his plans to lure Ye Shaohua to Star Entertainment, Ye Xuxu pursed her lips.

She found it hard to speak up.

But it was Xu Xiu who, standing behind Ye Xuxu, spoke obsequiously and flatteringly, "President Zhu, there’s no need to worry about this Ye Shaohua. Her reputation has stunk for over a year. Not only did she plagiarize Xuxu’s new song, she was also arrested by the police and thrown in jail, only to be released a few days ago. I have no idea why the young master Bai would seek out someone like her."

Zhu Wenhao had thought Ye Shaohua was someone significant.

He hadn’t expected to hear such a story.

He was momentarily at a loss for words, thinking Bai Yunci was a bit foolish, but never to such an extent.

"What on earth is my cousin thinking? Did studying medicine mess up his brain?" Zhu Wenhao’s heart, which had been somewhat tense, instantly relaxed, and he even felt in the mood to joke.

The assistant nearby couldn’t help but nod, "Maybe... he couldn’t sign Xuxu, so he’s just acting in desperation."

As he said this, he looked at Ye Xuxu with a smile.

Feeling the assistant’s gaze, Ye Xuxu bashfully lowered her head, hiding the triumphant gleam at the bottom of her eyes.

Zhu Wenhao was in a naturally good mood as he held a wine glass and discussed business with his commercial partner.

"Isn’t that Young Master Bai?" The partner spotted Bai Yunci not far away.

Zhu Wenhao also glanced over, but soon sighed, "My cousin, he’s never studied management and has only focused on his medical research. He doesn’t understand the entertainment circle. I told him he should let me manage Hui Chen, but he refused, insisting on proving himself to the shareholders. I didn’t expect him to end up selecting such a newcomer to promote. I just hope Hui Chen won’t be dragged down by him."

The partner was naturally aware of the Bai Family’s affairs, especially Bai Yunci’s inclination to study medicine rather than business management.

"These things take time; they can’t be rushed," he glanced at Zhu Wenhao, "However, President Zhu is truly gifted and young. Star Entertainment has already become the leading entertainment company in the circle, and this time you’ve signed a talented new artist. If you can also sign Agent Li to Star Entertainment, then it will truly cement its position at the top of the entertainment industry. Don’t forget me for any cooperative investments down the line."

"Of course." Zhu Wenhao smiled as he clinked glasses with the partner in front of him.

Ye Xuxu followed behind Zhu Wenhao and, overhearing their conversation, coyly covered her lips and laughed, seemingly shy.

However, she glanced in Ye Shaohua’s direction.

At that moment, the atmosphere became somewhat sensational.

"Agent Li has arrived," Zhu Wenhao noted the crowd gathering, and straightened up, "Xuxu, come with me."

Ye Xuxu was also especially nervous.

She was well aware of how important this opportunity was for her.

That’s why she had made extensive preparations ahead of time.

"Did Xu Xiu tell you to prepare a new song?" Zhu Wenhao asked Ye Xuxu before heading to Agent Li.

Ye Xuxu nodded, "I’ve had it ready for a long time, not just a new song, but all my works from this year."

With that, she took a CD from Xu Xiu’s hand.

It was her album from the past year.

Zhu Wenhao led her to find Agent Li.

Although Agent Li was ’just’ an agent, his status in the Entertainment Circle wasn’t lower than some investors. Ye Xuxu and Xu Xiu had no chance to get close to him, which is why Zhu Wenhao took it upon himself to take Ye Xuxu to meet Agent Li.

Unexpectedly, upon their arrival, he saw Bai Yunci also bringing Ye Shaohua to meet Agent Li.

"Cousin? Do you know who this Miss Ye is?" Zhu Wenhao couldn’t help but ask.

Bai Yunci glanced at him, "I know."

Continuing, he led people forward.

"Has my cousin gone mad?" Zhu Wenhao shook his head after he left, "Is he afraid that his company’s artist isn’t infamous enough? Agent Li is notoriously hard to please."

Ye Xuxu also took a deep look at Ye Shaohua and Bai Yunci.

Especially Ye Shaohua’s calm face, Ye Shaohua, I hope you can still smile like this when Agent Li criticizes you to your face later.
