Chapter 569: Chapter 563: Nothing More Than That
"Hehe, aren’t Huaxia men traditionally known for their humility?? Mr. Ye is quite straightforward." Mei Lingzi’s eyes flashed with a hint of anger before quickly regaining her composure. She tucked her hair behind her ear and introduced:
"Mr. Ye, this is Young Master Gong Yang, the Young Chairman of Xingyu Entertainment Group."
Mei Lingzi’s eyes gleamed as she smiled slightly, "Xingyu Entertainment Group is one of the giants in the entire Huaxia entertainment industry, a listed company with assets worth billions. Its vast potential far surpasses ordinary companies."
Gong Yang’s face held a proud expression as he slightly raised his head, stepped past Mei Lingzi, and approached Ye Tian, smiling: "Hey, we’re all friends here, no need to fuss over details."
"I wonder, Brother Ye, where are you currently employed??"
Although Gong Yang appeared friendly, his words were crafted to flaunt his power and wealth to Ye Tian. To Ye Tian, it seemed childish and extremely boring.
"I am a freshman at Yunhai University." Ye Tian calmly uttered these few words.
"Oh?? Yunhai University, that’s one of the top schools in the nation, truly promising! Which department, though??"
"After graduation, with my connections, maybe I can help Brother Ye find a good job."
Gong Yang squinted his eyes upon learning Ye Tian’s identity, his tone now condescending and overbearing.
These days, even freshman students dare to compete with him for women. Truly, he is seeking his own downfall.
Mei Lingzi’s expression turned dark. She had initially assumed Ye Tian was at least a successful businessman if not a wealthy tycoon.
Unexpectedly, he was a university student, appearing around twenty years old, just a freshman—could it be due to a lack of intelligence that he entered university so late?
From what she knew about Huaxia’s education system, ordinary people enter university at eighteen, while the smarter ones start at fourteen or fifteen.
"Mr. Ye, why are you still a freshman at this age??" Mei Lingzi’s eyes brightened with a hint of laziness, enticing souls.
Gong Yang was suddenly shocked, his lips curling into a contemptuous smile.
Right, why hadn’t he thought of that? Perfect to undermine Ye Tian’s status in Yukishiro Miri’s mind.
Because he knew Yukishiro Miri was a super-smart beauty in Japan, who completed her bachelor’s, master’s, and doctorate degrees in finance within three years at Tokyo University.
Later recruited by Mei Lingzi to become a star, she quickly rose to fame across Asia without any scandals—a true miracle.
Therefore, Gong Yang knew that Yukishiro Miri disliked men with lower intelligence than her.
"Oh, I served in the military for several years and have recently returned to continue my studies."
Ye Tian replied calmly.
"Oh, I didn’t expect Brother Ye to serve in the military, admirable." Gong Yang pretended to bow, looking at him sinisterly, "I guess you must have been in the arts division, right?"
"Hehe." Ye Tian didn’t respond but merely chuckled.
"Meili, hurry up and come back with Young Master Gong to the company."
"Are you still planning to stay here?"
Mei Lingzi suddenly spoke, her voice cold and filled with ridicule as she stared at Ye Tian.
Yukishiro Miri was instantly taken aback, her beautiful eyes clouding over; she knew Gong Yang’s identity and power. As a giant in the entertainment industry, his words would earn countless people’s efforts to please him, even at the cost of their lives.
If she offended Gong Yang, she would never survive the Huaxia entertainment industry.
She loved this country, adored Huaxia’s culture, and was fond of its cuisine.
She also enjoyed reciprocating this country with her melodious voice.
Yukishiro Miri was torn inside. On one side was the Young Chairman of her company, and on the other was someone who had cared for her—making a decision was extremely difficult.
"Meng Meng, if you want to go back, then go ahead!"
Ye Tian spoke softly, his tone completely unemotional.
His words struck Shen Yimeng like a knife slicing through each inch of her organs. Pain. A pain greater than falling into the Eighteen Levels of Hell. Her hands clenched tightly, nails dug deep into her palms.
Though they had only known each other for two or three days, Shen Yimeng felt a complex sentiment towards Ye Tian—not love nor mere friendship.
As the ancient saying goes, to conquer a woman, one must first conquer her stomach.
Perhaps unknowingly, due to fate’s trickery, she began to depend on Ye Tian.
"No... No, I won’t leave, you guys go back first!"
"Tonight, I’m going to the Capital City with Wood."
Shen Yimeng hurriedly spoke, her perfect face pale and anxious, instinctively clutching Ye Tian’s arm.
Seeing this, Gong Yang felt his heart wrench painfully, staring at Ye Tian with hatred.
If it weren’t for him, how could his plan be completely disrupted?
Gong Yang’s eyes turned rapidly as he thought to himself, "You wretched man, escaping the grasp of my Five Finger Mountain won’t be that easy. Yukishiro Miri, you will ultimately be crawling onto my bed."
"But first, I need to make this wild man perish miserably."
Mei Lingzi took several deep breaths, her expression changing dramatically, eyes filled with fear, afraid of provoking Gong Yang’s anger.
"Yukishiro Miri, you... you must come with me immediately." Mei Lingzi ordered arrogantly, looking at Yukishiro Miri.
"Mr. Ye, your sages once said that a person must have self-awareness, and a toad cannot eat swan meat."
"Our Meili is destined to become an international superstar. Do you really think you’re qualified to lead her onto this stage?"
"For her future, I hope you can voluntarily let go and not be so presumptuous!!"
Mei Lingzi’s eyes locked onto Ye Tian’s, her voice cold and almost shouting.
Ye Tian, calm and collected, glanced casually at Gong Yang, pointing at him, laughing in secret.
"If I am not qualified, is he??"
"Ye Tian, don’t be disrespectful. I am the Young Chairman of Xingyu Entertainment, I definitely am qualified!!"
Gong Yang’s smile vanished instantly, his fury unleashed as he shouted at Ye Tian with a superior demeanor.
Ye Tian subtly raised an eyebrow, his gaze piercing.
Those eyes, though deliberately subdued, still held a soul-stirring power, even causing Gong Yang to shiver slightly under their proximity.
Ye Tian then smiled faintly with an evil grin, "But if this Young Master Gong is not the Young Chairman of Xingyu Entertainment, would he still be qualified?"
"Hehe, do you think that’s possible? Are you planning to kill me?"
Gong Yang hesitated, suddenly feeling unsure. Without the title of Young Chairman, anything he said would be nonsense.
Gong Yang took a step forward, looking down at Ye Tian with arrogance and proclaimed, "I’ll give you one chance, let Meili come with me."
"Furthermore, you should cut all ties with her, and from now onwards, you will have no relations. Otherwise, I’ll ensure you won’t find refuge in Huaxia."
Ye Tian shook his head, took out his mobile phone, and dialed a number.
"Beep beep beep~~"
