Chapter 74 Starting a Company for His Wife
Xu Wang was only emo for a moment, then he looked up and was a hero again.
Xu Wang took a deep breath, adjusted his posture, lay on his side on the bed, and supported his head with his right hand.
After adjusting his posture, Xu Wang took out his phone from under his pillow, intending to look at it for a while to wake himself up.
Xu Wang opened his phone but didn't immediately check today's trending topics. Instead, he opened another video app.
A smug look flashed across Xu Wang's face. As long as I don't look, I won't know anything.
Xu Wang happily opened the app, but the next second his smug expression cracked.
Xu Wang even ignored the soreness in his body and sat up directly.
Xu Wang scrolled through the videos on his phone in disbelief.
What is the correct way for a domineering CEO to go to work?
What kind of weird trending topic is this?
Xu Wang stared at the various videos on his phone, his head buzzing.
Xu Wang clicked on one of the videos.
In the video, a guy wearing a suit jacket and shorts walks to the bedside with a crooked smile. He tries to scoop his girlfriend up with the blanket, probably intending to do a cool slingshot. Unfortunately, he underestimates his strength. He doesn't manage to lift himself up, but gets pulled and snaps, straining his back. In the end, his girlfriend gets up and takes him to the hospital.
Within 24 hours of its release, the video garnered a million likes and hundreds of thousands of comments.
[Haha, I'm laughing so hard when I see these videos.]
[President Pei's photos are considered aesthetically pleasing, but the ones they took are just... hahaha.]
[I've watched so many videos that I've almost forgotten, but President Pei used to carry me in a princess carry, right?]
[President Pei: Princess carry; Blogger: Really packed up.]
[The summary above is spot on.]
……………………
Xu Wang remained silent as he continued scrolling down, revealing all sorts of domineering CEO packages—there was nothing they couldn't do, only things you couldn't imagine.
Xu Wang closed his phone again and shut his eyes; he needed to be in a state of emo for a while.
In the kitchen, Pei Yanchuan neatly placed the prepared lunch on the dining table.
Pei Yanchuan took off his apron, tiptoed to the bedroom door, and opened it. What he saw was his wife sitting on the bed like a stone statue.
"Xiao Wang? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Pei Yanchuan sat down next to Xu Wang and gently massaged his lower back.
Xu Wang handed the phone to him, and Pei Yanchuan immediately understood the crux of the matter.
Pei Yanchuan's lips curled into a subtle smile: "My mistake."
"Are you laughing?" Xu Wang keenly noticed the strangeness in the other person's expression.
Pei Yanchuan immediately shook his head.
“You smiled!” Xu Wang reached out and gently pinched Pei Yanchuan’s cheek.
Pei Yanchuan didn't struggle, but simply reached out and picked Xu Wang up from the bed: "Alright, don't be angry anymore. Dinner is ready, let's come out and eat."
Xu Wang snorted coldly but did not refuse. After all, his stomach was indeed empty, and he couldn't let his stomach suffer if others suffered.
To cater to Xu Wang's taste, Pei Yanchuan prepared an extra light-flavored meat dish.
A satisfied smile crossed Xu Wang's face.
After lunch, Pei Yanchuan cleared all the dishes and chopsticks off the table and put them in the kitchen.
Pei Yanchuan carried Xu Wang to the sofa, where he was covered with a thin, creamy-yellow blanket and continued scrolling through videos.
As Xu Wang lazily scrolled through the video, a name suddenly caught his eye.
My wish.
In the video, the boy sits in a chair, holding a guitar and singing. His voice is very good, and he can easily draw the audience into the song.
The video was neither too long nor too short, just the length of a song. After the song ended, he simply bowed and the video ended. Throughout the video, he did not say anything other than sing.
Xu Wang took a closer look and saw that the number of likes had barely exceeded one hundred, and the number of comments was only in the double digits.
Xu Wang opened the comments and found that they were all from his longtime fans.
[This is so beautiful! A divine voice!]
Why isn't Yuanyuan famous yet?!
[I heard Yuan Yuan has signed with a management company, but hasn't the company taken any action yet?]
[It's been two years, why isn't my favorite podcast popular yet? I refuse to accept this!]
[It seems Yuan Yuan works at the same company as that celebrity named Zhong Ran, apparently a big company.]
[Yuanyuan used to be able to do live streams, but since signing with this agency, she hasn't done a single one.]
[Can't such a big company see Yuanyuan's potential? (bursting into tears)]
……………………
Yu Yuan, if he remembered correctly, this person was Zhong Ran's first cheat ability in the book, and also the most tragic one.
Yu Yuan is an Omega who has lived with his grandmother since childhood. He is a singer-songwriter with great talent, the kind of person who is blessed with natural talent. However, when he graduated from university, his grandmother suddenly fell ill and needed a large sum of money to pay for the surgery. He had no choice but to sign with Fengyue Entertainment, the company that paid him the most, which is also the company where the protagonist, Zhong Ran, works.
Of course, the company also took advantage of Yu Yuan's lack of money, and made Yu Yuan sign some unfair terms, including a term of up to 20 years and a penalty of tens of millions for breach of contract.
The company recognized Yu Yuan's creative talent and frequently used his songs for other artists in the company to perform, always crediting them and never mentioning him.
The most famous of these songs were sung by Zhong Ran. Initially, the company told Zhong Ran that the company had paid a lot of money to buy these songs. However, he later met Yu Yuan at the company and, although he did not talk to him in detail, he still found out about this matter by chance.
Although Zhong Ran felt sorry for him, she did not choose to ruin her own career for him. In the end, all Zhong Ran did was give him a little more money.
In the original text, Yu Yuan did consider exposing everything, but when he thought of his grandmother lying in a hospital bed, needing money every day to sustain her life, he hesitated again.
He lost his parents at a young age, and his only source of affection was his grandmother, whom he couldn't bear to abandon.
Xu Wang narrowed his eyes, his fingers tapping incessantly on the phone screen. This might be an opportunity, a chance to rescue the other party and deal with Zhong Ran.
Just as Xu Wang hadn't figured out a plan, Pei Yanchuan suddenly braced himself on the sofa behind him and looked down at him: "What's wrong?"
Xu Wang looked up and saw Pei Yanchuan's eyes filled with deep concern.
Xu Wang smiled broadly: "Nothing much? I just saw someone singing on my phone, and they sang quite well."
Xu Wang shared that he opened his phone and clicked play on the video again.
Pei Yanchuan didn't speak, he just listened quietly.
After the video finished playing, Pei Yanchuan looked at Xu Wang's expectant eyes and nodded slightly: "Not bad."
"Right? I also think it sounds pretty good, but it's just not very popular." Xu Wang wasn't disappointed just because Pei Yanchuan said it was alright. After all, if Pei Yanchuan said it was alright, it meant that the song was pretty good.
"You like listening to him sing?" Pei Yanchuan pursed his lips as he looked at Xu Wang's happy expression.
"He's alright, I think he's quite talented. If he could be properly managed, he could definitely become a star." Xu Wang was a little disappointed, as the Pei family didn't seem to have any entertainment companies.
"Then sign him." Pei Yanchuan's expression was calm, and his voice was indifferent, as if he were talking about the weather today.
Xu Wang looked up blankly: "How do I sign?"
“Of course, we’ll sign the company agreement.” Pei Yanchuan chuckled as he looked at Xu Wang’s dazed expression, then walked around the sofa to sit next to him and pulled him into his arms.
"I don't think the Pei family owns an entertainment company, do they?" Xu Wang asked Pei Yanchuan.
“The Pei family doesn’t have it, but that doesn’t mean you don’t.” Pei Yanchuan said seriously.
Xu Wang was dumbfounded by Pei Yanchuan's words. What did he mean? What did he mean by saying that just because the Pei family didn't have it, it didn't mean he didn't?
Pei Yanchuan patted Xu Wang's hair: "I'm not joking. Once the Zhong family is officially acquired, the entire Zhong Group building will be yours. You can open whatever you want there."
Xu Wang's mouth dropped open. Good heavens! Pei Yanchuan's words were so arrogant!
"I'll have Assistant Yang contact this person later. He'll be reporting to your company in a week."
Pei Yanchuan's words made Xu Wang's heart flutter with joy, and he couldn't help but hug the other's face and kiss his forehead.
Seeing this, Pei Yanchuan smiled and hugged the person in his arms even tighter.
