Jiang Chen responded to Lin Wan's words with a slight smile but did not reply.
"No way! I'm infatuated with him! Did you actually see that pianist clearly?" Lin Wan slammed the table, her face full of anticipation as she looked at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen laughed and said, "What are you planning to do? Invite him over to your house to play the piano?"
"What? I don't want him to come to my house to play the piano. I want to pursue him, I want to date him, I want to marry him!" Lin Wan said, her eyes twinkling with stars.
Damn!
"Pfft—"
A herd of grass mud horses ran through Jiang Chen's mind, and he spit out the drink he had just sipped.
"What are you doing? Did you or did you not see that pianist? What does he look like?" Lin Wan urged with a frown.
Jiang Chen quickly waved his hands: "No, I didn't, I didn't see what he looks like!"
"Ah, you're so useless! You didn't even get a clear look at the person." Lin Wan complained, resting her elbows on the table and holding her cheeks in her hands, she said in a lovesick tone, "I only saw his back, but he's so handsome! I think I've fallen in love with him!"
Jiang Chen forced a smile and wisely chose to remain silent.
...
"Slap slap slap—"
After a round of slapping, Lin Wan sat in her seat, her face flushed and her body tingling with numbness.
Having returned to his seat opposite Lin Wan, Jiang Chen said softly, "Your condition should be almost better now, don't be too anxious in the future."
"Got it." Lin Wan spoke softly, still not recovered from that strange feeling.
Jiang Chen glanced at Lin Wan, asking with curiosity, "By the way, why did you suddenly start caring about Yu Wan and me?"
"What do you mean suddenly! Jing Yi called me, saying that you and she were in a cold war, yet you suddenly started showing concern for Yu Wan. How could I not intervene?" Lin Wan glared at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen was startled for a moment, then his heart lightened, "Is Jing Yi... jealous?"
"Jealous of what! Jing Yi is worried Yu Wan is being bullied by you, this jerk!" Lin Wan said, her words not matching her true feelings.
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, not believing Lin Wan's words.
"Alright, I've said my piece and you've been checked up on, I'll be leaving now." Lin Wan announced, getting up and leaving the hotel.
Jiang Chen watched Lin Wan leave, smiling faintly as he took out his phone to call Chen Guoqiang.
"Hello, President Jiang."
"Director Chen, I'm giving you a number. Look up Ye Jingyi from the Ye Family. She's Ye Yuwan's cousin and also my wife. Please ask her to take charge of the market planning and management for Yu Wan," Jiang Chen instructed softly.
"Sure, President Jiang," Chen Guoqiang agreed without hesitation.
Having hung up the phone, Jiang Chen sent Ye Jingyi's mobile number to Chen Guoqiang, then got up and left the hotel to return to Sihai Entertainment.
He had just sat down in his office when his phone rang. Jiang Chen looked at the caller ID and smiled as he answered, "Hello, Jing Yi."
"Jiang Chen, someone from Sihai Entertainment wants me to do the market planning management for Yu Wan. Is this because you, as Yu Wan's agent, recommended me?"
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "Yes, this way we can see each other more often. Jing Yi, you're the only one in my heart. Helping Yu Wan is also because she's your sister."
"Got it! When did you become such a smooth talker! I'll start work tomorrow!" Ye Jingyi said sweetly on the other end of the line.
Looking at the phone that had been hung up, Jiang Chen smiled happily. Their relationship was finally on the mend.
...
Two days later, a video of someone playing the piano went viral online, igniting a craze for finding the "Piano Prince." Unfortunately, the pianist in the video only showed his back, with no frontal shots.
And in the Jiang Family Courtyard in the Capital City,
A middle-aged man with an urgent expression rushed into a courtyard filled with flowers and plants. In the yard, an elder with a dignified face was watering the flowers.
"Master, Master!" the middle-aged man called out urgently when he saw the elder in the courtyard.
The elder turned to look at the middle-aged man and frowned, "Butler Lu, what has happened? This rash behavior is undignified!"
"Master, take a look at this!" Butler Lu handed the elder a cell phone.
The elder took the phone and said with confusion, "An online video, what's there to see!"
He was just about to return the phone to Butler Lu.
"No, Master, listen to this!" Butler Lu didn't take the phone, instead he pressed play on the video.
A melodious piano piece flowed from the phone, sending a shiver through the elder who looked at the device in disbelief.
After listening to the piano piece, the elder spoke with excitement, "This, this is the Jiang Family's ancestral piano piece! Outsiders simply cannot play it! This, this young man is... Butler Lu, where is he?"
"In Jinhai City!" Butler Lu quickly replied.
The elder spoke with urgency, "Go find him, he must be found. Bring him back at all costs!"
"Yes!" Butler Lu responded respectfully and hurriedly left.
The elder bowed his head and opened the video on the phone again, watching with a trace of nostalgia.
...
Elsewhere in the Jiang Family Courtyard.
A middle-aged man watching the video of Jiang Chen playing the piano grew more and more displeased. After watching the video, he turned to a burly man beside him, "Chen Long, find him, and spare no expense. He must be eliminated on sight!"
"Yes!"
Chen Long responded with a sharp glint in his eye, then turned and left the courtyard.
...
Equally famous across the nation, along with the piano video, was Yè Yùwǎn.
When Yè Yùwǎn became nationally renowned as the new queen of jade-like purity, Ye Jianchang called her back home with a single phone call.
"Dad, I'm preparing for my concert; why did you urgently call me back?" Yè Yùwǎn looked puzzled at Ye Jianchang and glanced around the living room where Grandpa Ye, Grandma Ye, Li Cuilian, and Yè Tiānmíng were all present.
Ye Jianchang spoke sternly, "Yu Wan, you are now famous nationwide, and this will bring huge profits. But your agent is Jiang Chen, and your planning manager is Ye Jingyi. This cake is being divided by others; this won't do. Replace them immediately with Tian Ming and your mother."
"Exactly, Yu Wan. I'll be your agent. I can definitely do a better job than that good-for-nothing Jiang Chen," Yè Tiānmíng said eagerly, looking at Yè Yùwǎn.
Li Cuilian spoke with envy, "Yes, Yu Wan, I'll do the planning and management for you. I'll be much better than Ye Jingyi. Then, all the cake will be ours."
"That's right, Yu Wan. Replace them immediately. We can't let outsiders make money off of our benefits when our family can earn it!" Grandma Ye said sternly.
Yè Yùwǎn frowned and said, "No, I won't change them! My brother-in-law and sister have been doing a great job, and besides, my songs are all written by my brother-in-law."
Meanwhile, Yè Yùwǎn muttered to herself, All you think about is profit, not knowing that the general manager of the company is my brother-in-law. He has done so much to help me; how could I possibly replace him? Besides, could you do better than my brother-in-law and sister Jing Yi? No way! Once Tian Ming, that bastard, takes over and finds out my brother-in-law is the general manager, who knows what trouble he will cause? I don't need him for sure!
"No way! You must replace them!" Ye Jianchang bellowed, "What's wrong with you, child? You're not thinking of your own family for such a big interest but instead favor outsiders! What are you thinking?"
"I will not change them!" Yè Yùwǎn shouted and stood up, then she left home straight away.
"You, come back here!" Grandma Ye shouted after her, but Yè Yùwǎn ran out the door without looking back.
Grandpa Ye glanced at everyone and said softly, "Jiang Chen and Jing Yi are doing quite well, and they are our family members too!"
"Shut your mouth! Who says they're family? Are they even worthy?" Grandma Ye glared at Grandpa Ye.
Grandpa Ye closed his mouth with a look of disappointment.
Yè Tiānmíng's eyes shifted, and he patted Grandma Ye's hand, whispering, "Gran, don't be angry. Leave it to me; I'll make sure that Jiang Chen and Ye Jingyi can't remain as the agent and planning manager."
"Do you have a plan?" Grandma Ye's eyes lit up, and the family turned their attention to Yè Tiānmíng.
Yè Tiānmíng smiled mysteriously but didn't speak a word.
