Chapter 364 - New Song
Chapter 364 of "Invincible Young Master in the City" kicks off revealing: Ye Fan left, and Li Zhaojun didnât immediately stand up to return to her desk... Find out whatâs next!
Ye Fan left, and Li Zhaojun didnât immediately stand up to return to her desk to work.
Instead, she remained seated, elegantly sipping her tea while contemplating something.
Suddenly, the ringtone of the mobile phone on her desk rang out.
Li Zhaojun put down her teacup, stood up, walked back to her desk, picked up her mobile phone, and then sat down in the luxurious and stately office chair.
Upon answering the call, an excited womanâs voice immediately came through, âZhaojun, how many people are attending the reunion today?â
âHow many?
It shouldnât exceed the number of people in our class, right?â Li Zhaojun replied calmly.
The woman on the phone exclaimed, âAh, how did you know?
Zhaojun, you guessed it!
Youâre really sharp-witted.
No wonder you could establish the Emali Group with a market value of nearly ten billion!â
âGiggle, I let slip that you would also attend this reunion.
Even though the notice was short, our classmates agreed to participate without hesitation, and there are even more than a dozen people from other classes who want to join.â
âMoreover, our classmates Tang Hande, Zhu Tianxiang, and Chen Hao, along with the schoolâs well-known figures Wang Qingyi and Tan Junjie, are all scrambling to pay for the reunion expensesâŚâ
The womanâs voice babbled on.
Finally, she sincerely exclaimed, âI didnât expect that, after a few years since graduation, those boys who were crazy about you still canât forget you.
Many guys are even willing to fly in to attend the reunion.â
âBy the way, Zhaojun, why did you suddenly decide to organize a class reunion?
You never attended them before,â the woman asked curiously over the phone.
Li Zhaojun said calmly, âNo particular reason.
Iâve just been through a lot lately and suddenly felt like looking back and meeting some old classmates.
Yi Yue, please make a careful estimate of how much the reunion will cost.
Iâll transfer the money to you in a couple of days.â
âHee hee, Zhaojun, thereâs no need for you to pay,â Yi Yue laughed.
âDidnât I just say?
A bunch of people are eager to pay.â
Nonetheless, Zhaojun insisted, âNo, since I organized this reunion, I must be the one to pay.
Thereâs no need to take advantage of them.â
âOkay, fine.
But itâs not like youâre short of money,â Yi Yue responded.
Li Zhaojun added, âRemember not to reveal to anyone that I organized this reunion.â
âGot it,â Yi Yue laughed.
âHee hee, didnât think weâd bask in your glory this time.â
After hanging up the phone, Li Zhaojun put her mobile phone back on the desk and fell into deep thought.
Although she had arranged for Ye Fan to be her special assistant, due to his usual laziness at work, she had few work-related interactions with him.
To salvage this marriage, she had to find other ways to increase the time Ye Fan spent with her.
Thus, she, who never attended class reunions, organized this one.
At five oâclock in the afternoon, Ye Fan left Emali Group ahead of schedule to drive to Yan Yusongâs house.
Along the way, Ye Fan stopped at a shop known for its prestigious cigarettes, spirits, and teas to buy gifts.
Around five fifty, Ye Fan drove up to Yan Yusongâs villa, and the door was opened by the charmingly smiling Shen Yan.
After driving into the front courtyard of the villa and parking the car, Ye Fan got out and took out the prepared gifts from the trunk of the car.
He turned around and noticed Shen Yan standing right in front of him, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she looked at him and chuckled, âI thought you wouldnât arrive until half an hour later.â
Ye Fan smiled faintly, âI couldnât keep our Singer Shen waiting, could I?
If your fans knew, their angry glares alone could annihilate me countless times.â
As he spoke, he walked towards the main entrance of the lobby on the first floor.
Shen Yan turned around, walking side by side with Ye Fan and chuckled lightly, âLook at what youâre saying, are you mocking me?â
The two of them joked and chatted as they walked into the villaâs first-floor lobby.
Yan Yusong came to greet them.
After placing the gifts down, Ye Fan, Shen Yan, and Yan Yusong settled on the sofas around the coffee table in the lobby, with Shen Yan making tea.
Ye Fan and Yan Yusong chatted for a while, and by then, Shen Yan had prepared the tea.
After sipping two small cups of tea, Shen Yan detailed to Ye Fan the process of licensing âOnly Loveâ to major music players like Baidu Music, QQ Music, Kuwo Music, and Kugou Music.
âThe initial licensing fee totaled 370,000, and after deducting 100,000, I donated the rest to the remote mountain areaâs Hope Primary School.
The authorization for mobile ringtone is still under negotiation.
Here are the receipts,â Shen Yan finally said, handing Ye Fan a stack of receipt stubs.
Ye Fan took the receipt stubs and placed them directly on the coffee table without looking.
âThank you,â Ye Fan expressed his gratitude, âfor taking the trouble for my trifling matters.â
Shen Yan looked at Ye Fan and giggled, then took out a bulky kraft paper package from her bag and handed it to Ye Fan, âThis is 100,000 in cash.â
Ye Fan accepted it and also placed it directly on the table.
After Ye Fan and Shen Yan had exchanged the money and receipts, Yan Yusong chuckled and said, âYe Fan, I recently bought a high-quality new song thatâs perfect for you.
Are you interested in singing it?â
âThisâŚâ Ye Fan hesitated; he initially wanted to immediately refuse, but his mind inexplicably flashed back to the scene from the night he chatted with Zhao Lina in her car.
At that time, Zhao Lina expressed her hope to hear the second song from the âPrisoner Two,â and he told Zhao Lina that âPrisoner Twoâ would sing a second song.
Seeing Ye Fan hesitate, Shen Yan immediately spoke up to persuade him: âYour songs sell quite well, and not for anything else but to support charity, you should sing another one.
Your singing a single song can raise enough money to build two Hope Schools.
So many childrenâs destinies could be changed by your one song.â
âDo you remember our first duet?
If everyone gives a little love, the world will become a beautiful place.â
She knew Ye Fan did not care much for material things, money, or fame, so she could only appeal to his sense of charity.
Ye Fan snapped back to reality and smiled, âAlright.â
Shen Yan and Yan Yusong both brightened up.
Ye Fan picked up the bag of money and handed it to Yan Yusong, saying, âProfessor Yan, Iâve bought the rights to your song.â
Knowing that Ye Fan wasnât interested in money and that he would donate whatever he earned, Yan Yusong didnât refuse and simply accepted the 100,000 yuan.
âThe song is in the music room on the third floor; letâs go have a look first,â Yan Yusong said.
Ye Fan and Shen Yan nodded, then stood up and walked together toward the staircase.
A few minutes later, in the music room on the third floor, Yan Yusong handed the new song to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan took it, glanced at it, and found that this new song named âShe Saidâ was also a love song, not much different in style from âOnly Love.â Additionally, âShe Saidâ was fairly complete, with arrangements and all, ready to be performed directly with a band.
