A second-tier female star by Wu Zhanqiu's side, Wang Lili, interjected at this moment, sneering:

"What, not happy to be tied to a top male celebrity? Ye Yuwan, do you think you're still the glorious leading lady singer? Your affair with that Jiang Chen totally ruined your reputation, you know? Now that the company is pairing you with a top celebrity, that's your good fortune, yet you're not content? You really don't know what's good for you!"

Hearing this, the corners of Wu Zhanqiu's mouth curved into a cold smile.

He had Wang Lili come today precisely to provoke Ye Yuwan. After all, as the company's general manager, he could not fall out with Ye Yuwan too openly. She still had her uses, and it wasn't time for a complete fallout.

"I refuse! Mr. Wu, I reject your proposal!" Ye Yuwan's face was ashen as she spoke. As soon as she finished, without giving Wu Zhanqiu a chance to respond, she turned and walked out of the office.

"You…"

Bang!

Wu Zhanqiu's expression darkened, and he slammed his palm onto the desk!

Wang Lili's eyes flickered, and she said with a light laugh while looking at Wu Zhanqiu, "Mr. Wu, since Ye Yuwan is unwilling, how about I take her place? I will comply with all of the company's arrangements!"

As she spoke, Wang Lili stepped closer to Wu Zhanqiu and reached out to touch his hand.

"Get out!" Wu Zhanqiu pushed Wang Lili away and glared at her fiercely.

Wang Lili's face changed, and she turned to walk out of the office, inwardly seething, "Why not me? I was once the number one star of Sky Entertainment. Why should Fang Wenjie be tied to Ye Yuwan and not me? Bastard! Ye Yuwan, you dare to steal my opportunity, I won't let you off!"

As Wang Lili left the office, the door inside was opened, and Fang Wenjie came out with a somber face.

"Wenjie, it seems Ye Yuwan really doesn't fancy you!" Wu Zhanqiu's eyes shifted as he looked at Fang Wenjie with a face full of regret.

Fang Wenjie snorted coldly and spoke in a deep voice, "Look down on me? What right does she have to look down on me? Sooner or later, I'll make her pay!"

"It can't be sooner or later."

Wu Zhanqiu deliberately reminded, "You're not aware yet? Jiang Chen is not just a songwriter; he also has some connection with Yi Chen Investment. You know the situation with Yi Chen Investment. If Jiang Chen goes over to Yi Chen Investment, his value might double. By then, Ye Yuwan will be even less likely to fancy you!"

"What? Yi Chen Investment? What's the relationship between Jiang Chen and Yi Chen Investment?"

Fang Wenjie was shocked. His family was invested in by Yi Chen Company, and if Jiang Chen had ties with the Yi Chen Company's executives, and they withdrew investment, his family would be finished!

Wu Zhanqiu felt pleased inside as he confirmed that Fang Wenjie didn't know Jiang Chen's true identity. He nonchalantly waved his hand and started making things up:

"Actually, there's no significant relationship. It's just that I heard Yi Chen Company might invest in an entertainment company, and they are discussing this matter with Jiang Chen. What if Jiang Chen joins the entertainment company invested by Yi Chen? Would he take Ye Yuwan with him? The penalty for Ye Yuwan's breach of the contract is something Yi Chen Company can pay off without a thought. By then… you'll have no chance!"

"We can't wait any longer!"

Fang Wenjie's complexion changed, instantly turning pale: "I'll go home and discuss this with my father right away."

Having said that, Fang Wenjie strode out of the office.

Wu Zhanqiu looked at Fang Wenjie with a smile and took out his phone to dial Zhou Long's number, "Mr. Long, Fang Wenjie is heading back to discuss with his family; this time he will definitely bring them fully into this. However, could you have the Fang Family also make an inquiry? After all, Fang Wenjie's branch was expelled from the main Fang Family by the elder, and now Fang Wenjie is a crucial part in the fight against Ye Yuwan. If the Fang Family shows interest, maybe Fang Wenjie's clan will be deluded into thinking there's a chance to return to the main family!"

...

Shortly after Wu Zhanqiu contacted Zhou Long, Jiang Chen arrived at Fang Wenjie's family residence with Xuan Long in tow.

"Mr. Jiang, what brings you here in person!" Fang Changling, Fang Wenjie's father, personally came to the reception hall to greet Jiang Chen. He knew of Jiang Chen, not only having witnessed his influence at the Fang Family funeral, but their business was also invested in by Yichen Company.

Jiang Chen looked at Fang Changling indifferently, "Family Head Fang, I'm here for you to do something. I want Fang Wenjie to publicly clarify the rumors with Ye Yuwan and to stop associating with her. Otherwise, not only will you lose your investment, but I will also ruin all of your family's businesses!"

"This..."

Fang Changling hesitated.

He would have complied with such a request without Jiang Chen's demand. But he had just received a call from the main house, one of the Four Great Aristocratic Families, from Fang Zhengshan, who insisted that he support Fang Wenjie's pursuit of Ye Yuwan.

And now, here was Jiang Chen telling him to put a stop to it – a tough choice to make!

A struggle and yearning showed in Fang Changling's eyes. Years ago, his grandfather made a mistake, resulting in their branch being expelled from the distinguished family. Since then, they had to fend for themselves. There was now a second Fang Family in Dingjing, but every member of his clan yearned for the day they could return to the main Fang Family.

They didn't want to miss this opportunity!

"Mr. Jiang, I can't agree to your rude demand. The joys of a man and a woman are everyone's freedom; I can't interfere with Wenjie's pursuit of the girl he likes. Moreover... Mr. Jiang, Miss Ye Yuwan isn't your wife, is she? Your wife should be the Gong Family's young missus, right? Aren't you afraid of the Gong Family's opinion for coming here over Miss Ye's matters?"

Fang Changling spoke, slowly puffing out his chest, a look of resolution flickering in his eyes.

He had decided, to reject Jiang Chen!

Although the clan was relying on the investment from Yichen Company, it didn't stop his determination for his family to return to the Fang aristocratic household. Moreover, he felt his words were sufficient to make Jiang Chen back down; in his view, although Yichen had considerable funds, if they could establish themselves in Dingjing, it must be with the support of the Gong Family. Therefore, Jiang Chen certainly couldn't afford to offend the Gong Family!

"Is this your choice?" Jiang Chen looked at Fang Changling, his eyes devoid of any ripple.

Fang Changling, unnerved by Jiang Chen's expressionless gaze, began to feel panicked again.

No! Impossible!

This youngster must be bluffing me!

But then Fang Changling reassured himself and steadied his mind, "Mr. Jiang, you should be aware, in Dingjing, the Four Great Aristocratic Families are..."

Fang Changling wanted to show off the power of the Four Great Aristocratic Families. In his opinion, the reason Jiang Chen could stir trouble at the Fang family funeral was surely because of the Gong Family's backing; otherwise, the Fang Family would never let Jiang Chen off the hook!

"Enough."

Jiang Chen let out a cold laugh, interrupting Fang Changling's speech, and took out his phone to dial a number, "Fang Wenjie's family, bring them down."
