Chapter 106: Chapter 105: Blocked, Seventh Sister Says Money Is No Big Deal
Edward Monroe looked at the comments under his Weibo post, a sudden smile tugged at his lips. He knew this MV was far more shocking than the song.
"I have to admit, netizens truly have wild imaginations. There’s even a comment here suggesting J and K might be family, just missing a Q between them."
Ethan Song laughed heartily, pointing a finger at a particular comment.
Edward Monroe took a closer look and couldn’t help but chuckle, "They’re ready to become detectives, and their analysis is quite organized."
"However, I think what the netizens say might not be entirely without reason. Like they guessed, both J and K emerged out of nowhere, and back then you suddenly received a text message on your phone."
After laughing enough, Ethan Song suddenly turned serious, scratching his chin as he began to analyze.
Upon hearing this.
Edward Monroe’s expression remained calm, "None of this matters to me now; I just need to remember that K is the one who pulled me out of the abyss."
He previously believed his life might just end up like that, but hadn’t imagined a day would come to regain his confidence.
Ethan Song froze for a moment, then quickly patted his shoulder to change the topic, "Didn’t you say you wanted to sign a contract with K’s company? It might be a good time to mention this during the celebration."
"Alright, I’ll give her a call."
Not long after, Edward Monroe set down his phone, looking incredibly pleased. Ethan Song saw this and immediately understood that K must have agreed.
...
"Zhang Li, I remember Edward Monroe has always been under your management. Do you know who K, the lyricist for his new song, is?"
On the top floor of Star Night Corporation, James Dung’s face was dark as he stared sharply at the woman before him.
Facing his gaze, Zhang Li trembled with fear, "I don’t know. Previously, if not for him writing the songs himself, they were usually handed over to the company’s producers."
"A good "don’t know," he’s been right under your nose every day, didn’t you notice anything?" James Dung shouted angrily.
Suddenly being yelled at, Zhang Li felt a bit aggrieved. What did he mean by "under her nose every day?" Edward Monroe went home; she didn’t follow him there.
Outsiders all say top-tier Edward Monroe is gentle, but as his manager for so long, she’s never seen him be really close with anyone.
It’s basically just acquaintances nodding at each other, even with her, Edward Monroe always had a sense of distance, which is why she liked Cheng Qi.
Seeing that she truly didn’t know, James Dung waved her off in displeasure, "You can leave now, but make sure to investigate that K. If you can recruit them to the company, that’d be the best."
Currently, there are rumors online that K and J have an extraordinary relationship. If that’s true, then K joining Star Night means J would belong to Star Night too.
Zhang Li shot a curious glance at the man with a rich expression, softly acknowledged, and turned to leave.
"Sister Li, what did Director Deng say?"
Zhang Li sighed, speaking with a face full of frustration, "Told me to recruit K to the company. I don’t even know who this person is, where would I recruit them from?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Qi’s eyes flashed with a sharp glint, "You don’t know, but isn’t there someone who does?"
If he could recruit K to write songs for him, wouldn’t he become instantly popular?
"You mean Edward Monroe," Zhang Li frowned, "Not possible. He’s practically had a fallout with the company, asking him wouldn’t do any good."
Cheng Qi’s face stiffened, clearly not expecting her to refuse so quickly without a second thought.
Suppressing his displeasure, he grabbed Zhang Li’s hand gently and gazed at her affectionately, "Sister Li, would it really be impossible for my sake? Just think, if K really joined the company, wouldn’t our good days be just around the corner?"
Being stared at by him like that, her face turned shy, "Then I’ll give it a try."
With that, she took out her phone and dialed a number she hadn’t contacted for a long time.
Cheng Qi sat beside her, watching her expectantly, only to notice her expression changing to one of displeasure for some reason.
"Edward Monroe, he actually blocked me." Zhang Li clenched her phone tightly, speaking angrily.
Upon hearing this, the hopeful light in Cheng Qi’s eyes dimmed, his fingers pinched his palm harshly, letting out a cold laugh.
Edward Monroe really is ruthless; she was his manager for so long, and he actually blocked her without a word.
"Sister Li, there must be a way."
...
"K, thank you."
Edward Monroe gripped a glass of wine, looking at the girl across from him, his voice filled with sincerity.
"I already said, it’s just mutual need, no need to thank."
Claire Green held a wine glass, swaying it slightly, her exquisite eyebrows carrying a lazy expression.
Seeing her put it that way, Edward Monroe didn’t stand on ceremony anymore, smiling, "All my gratitude is in the wine."
With that, he downed the glass of wine swiftly.
"You guys didn’t ask me to come out so late just for the celebration, right? So, have you thought it over?"
Claire Green raised an eyebrow, her lazy gaze swept over the two, and her tone was quite casual.
"Yeah, we’ve decided to sign with your company," Edward Monroe nodded, "so whenever you’re available, we can go sign the contract."
As his words fell, a low chuckle escaped from Claire Green.
"No rush, let me buy a building first and then I’ll let you know."
What the heck, buy a building?
Edward Monroe and Ethan Song exchanged a look; could it be what they’re thinking?
"Don’t tell me your company isn’t established yet?" Ethan Song looked at her with an expression saying ’You must be joking with us.’
Who would’ve thought.
Claire Green hearing this, leisurely hummed, "That’s right, you have a problem."
Not just any problem; your company’s not even set up, yet you dare to recruit Monroe.
Ethan Song’s mouth twitched, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"K, where’s your company planning to be established?" Though Edward Monroe was momentarily surprised, he quickly composed himself.
Since he already made his choice, regardless of the company being set up or not, he’s an artist contracted with K.
"Capital City." Claire Green calmly let out the two words.
"But real estate in Capital City is so expensive; if you’re thinking about a small studio, okay, but if you want to set up a company, the money is no small amount."
"Money," Claire Green chuckled lightly, "it’s a minor issue."
Although earning it is painstaking, there’s still a fat sheep to exploit in M Country.
Hundreds of billions for a patent? Thomas Skin can’t refuse.
At this, Edward Monroe couldn’t help but let his lips twitch, can you not sound so breezy?
He’s earned quite a bit over the years, but never dared to say buying a house in Capital City is a small issue.
"Since you’ve put it that way, then I’ll be looking forward to it," Edward Monroe spoke gently.
Claire Green nodded indifferently as her phone suddenly rang.
"A-Jin has learned to stay out so late now?"
As soon as she answered, a man’s deep voice came through.
Claire Green paused for a moment, then mischievously curled her lips, "What, is my brother hinting that I didn’t inform you of my schedule?"
"Since A-Jin knows, what time do you plan on coming back?"
Julian Sia stood in her room, looking out at the dark sky, speaking in a low voice.
"Tsk, right away," Claire Green’s eyes were sprinkled with amusement, picking up the backpack beside her, shoving her hands into her pockets, and leisurely heading outside.
Edward Monroe and Ethan Song watched her, noticing how she seemed like a completely different person once she was on the phone, leaving without even saying goodbye.
"I’d bet money that the person K called has an unusual relationship with her." Ethan Song nodded knowingly.
Edward Monroe snorted, "That doesn’t even need a bet; anyone not blind can see her change."
"Really curious about who that is; could it be J?"
"Why are you so nosy, she’s gone now, we should leave too."
"Gossip is human nature, I don’t believe you’re not curious."
The two bantered with each other, their figures gradually disappearing into the darkness.
