They want you to participate in a TV show, and you'll be doing a live stream as a security guar

"We have to do whatever the company says. If they ask you to drink with them, you can't say no. If you don't agree, it's considered disobeying orders."

At this point, Ju Jingyi gave a self-deprecating laugh, her long eyelashes concealing the desolation in her eyes: "There are only two outcomes for disobedience: either being sidelined or having to pay an exorbitant penalty for breach of contract and leave. For most ordinary people, there is only the former option."

Having been in the entertainment industry for so long, she knew better than anyone that the contract was more like a servitude agreement.

Ye Zhou listened quietly the whole time without interrupting.

"That's no problem."

Ye Zhou looked at Ju Jingyi and said, word by word.

He currently has over 100 million yuan in cash. Given Ju Jingyi's current net worth, losing a few million yuan is already a lot.

Upon hearing this, Ju Jingyi immediately fell silent.

She knew that with Ye Zhou's demonstrated financial strength, a mere penalty for breach of contract was certainly nothing.

But she didn't want to give up on her acting career.

Standing under the spotlight, being recognized, and becoming a true superstar—that was her lifelong dream.

"I want to continue as an entertainer; it's been my dream since I was a child!"

Ju Jingyi bit her lower lip, looked up at Ye Zhou, and her eyes held a stubbornness.

Ye Zhou looked at the undisguised stubbornness and longing in Ju Jingyi's eyes, and his expression gradually became serious.

Ju Jingyi felt a little nervous under Ye Zhou's gaze; her fingers curled slightly, and her heart began to race uncontrollably again.

She didn't want to be just a decorative vase.

"Who told you to give up?"

A moment later, Ye Zhou suddenly chuckled.

Ju Jingyi was slightly taken aback, and looked up at him with a blank expression.

"Terminating the contract doesn't mean you have to leave the entertainment industry."

Ye Zhou leaned forward slightly, resting his elbows on the table, his gaze deep: "On the contrary, it's to truly begin your path to stardom."

"I'll set up an entertainment company, and you'll be in charge of all resources, scripts, connections, and promotion."

He paused, his voice steady and carrying an irresistible power: "You just need to focus on acting, stand on the stage you want to stand on, and become the star you want to be."

Ju Jingyi froze on the spot, her beautiful eyes widening slightly, as if she couldn't believe what she was hearing.

That's an entertainment company headed by her, and what that means is self-evident.

Tears welled up unexpectedly and swirled in Ju Jingyi's eyes.

She hurriedly lowered her head, her long eyelashes trembling as she tried to hide her embarrassment.

"But...that would cost a lot of money continuously..."

Ju Jingyi's voice choked with emotion, tinged with helplessness: "I... I don't have any fame at all right now, and I can't guarantee that I'll become famous..."

"I believe you will become famous, so don't have too much psychological burden."

Ye Zhou stood up, walked to Ju Jingyi's side, bent down slightly, and gently wiped away the tears that were about to fall from the corners of her eyes: "You only need to remember one thing—I will help you realize your dream."

Faced with this promise, Ju Jingyi could no longer hold back, and tears streamed down her cheeks.

This wasn't a feeling of being wronged, nor was it fear; it was a feeling of being overwhelmed with emotion that had been suppressed for too long.

"Brother Ye... thank you."

She looked up at the man before her, her eyes blurry with tears, and said softly but with unwavering determination, "I won't let you down."

Ye Zhou simply smiled at this.

He knew all too well what the entertainment industry was like. With Ju Jingyi's looks and figure, as long as someone gave her a push, it was only a matter of time before she became famous.

The feelings one gets from a top celebrity lover are completely different from those of a lover who is simply good-looking.

That's right, Ye Zhou's definition of Ju Jingyi was that of a lover.

At least that's how it is now.

Just then, Ye Zhou's phone rang.

The caller ID displayed the photographer's name.

Ye Zhou glanced at Ju Jingyi, whose eyes were still slightly red, raised his hand to signal her to calm down, and casually pressed the answer button.

"Brother Ye, what's going on today?"

As soon as the call connected, the photographer's slightly anxious voice came through.

"I have some personal matters to attend to, so I'll skip the live stream today," Ye Zhou said calmly.

Actually, it's because Ju Jingyi is still with him; he can't just leave her here and go do a live stream himself.

"Huh? Stop, stop? But what about Director Xu's side..." The photographer was clearly taken aback.

"Let's talk about it another day."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Zhou hung up the phone and looked at Ju Jingyi: "It's still early, want to come shopping with me?"

"Okay, whatever you say."

Hearing Ye Zhou's words, Ju Jingyi nodded gently, her eyes still moist with tears. However, a faint smile had already appeared on her face.

Seeing her gentle and charming appearance, Ye Zhou smiled faintly and naturally took her hand.

Her hands were small and slightly cool, but when held firmly in my palm, they instantly warmed up.

"Let's go shopping. I just moved recently and need to prepare some things."

……

Hengyong Shopping Mall.

One of the largest shopping malls in the capital, located in the most valuable area of ​​the city center.

The entire structure is made of giant floor-to-ceiling windows and light gold stone, with a dome tens of meters high. Natural light shines through the gaps in the crystal chandeliers, flowing into a fine golden river on the smooth, mirror-like marble floor.

Flagship stores of top international luxury brands such as LV, Gucci, Dior, and Chanel are lined up in a row, with extremely exquisite store decorations and the latest seasonal styles displayed in the windows illuminated in every detail.

A sales associate, dressed in a sharp suit and with impeccable makeup, stood quietly at the door, her eyes gentle yet carrying an invisible distance, only showing enthusiasm to customers who truly had purchasing power.

Most of the guests were dressed smartly, either wealthy ladies who never lifted a finger or business elites in suits, and even the air was filled with a faint scent of high-end perfume.

In stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of a typical shopping mall, it was so quiet that only the crisp sound of high heels tapping on the ground and the occasional hushed conversation could be heard.

Seeing that Ye Zhou had come from here, Ju Jingyi couldn't help but feel confused. Could this be what rich people meant by shopping?

She thought Ye Zhou should find the nearest large shopping mall, but unexpectedly he came here specifically.

Ye Zhou led Ju Jingyi straight to the Vacheron Constantin boutique.

His main goal for this trip was to buy a watch!

How so?

A good watch not only represents a man's taste, but also highlights his temperament.

Moreover, Ye Zhou now owns a Ferrari, and without a watch on his wrist, he always feels like something is missing!

Just as she was about to enter the Vacheron Constantin boutique, Ju Jingyi suddenly paused.

Looking through the security glass, Ye Zhou saw a pair of diamond-encrusted couple watches spinning in the display case.

Dozens of sparkling diamonds, illuminated by the lights, resembled a sky full of stars, radiating dazzling brilliance.
