I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

Chapter 337 There's no such thing as a free lunch

In fact, if Jiang Wei and Ding Zhan hadn't mentioned it, Ye Xian would have almost forgotten who Li Ming was.

Even if his memory is now exceptional.

He's incredibly busy every day, and when he has a little free time, he has to eat and talk with his childhood sweetheart. He doesn't have time to remember Li Ming.

In addition, the name Li Ming is so ordinary.

How many Xiaomings were there in the entire Tang Dynasty?

Therefore, when Jiang Wei mentioned Li Ming, Ye Xian didn't immediately remember who he was.

Only after Ding Zhan reminded him did he suddenly realize, "Oh, I remember now, he's still alive?"

Jiang Wei was so angry he almost threw his phone away: "If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all."

Ye Xian chuckled and said, "Teacher Jiang, I never have a kind word for my enemies."

Jiang Wei sighed, "You'd better behave yourself tomorrow. He has more influence in the music industry than I do. If he says he's going to mess with you this time, it's definitely not just going to be a simple embarrassment."

Ye Xian's smile faded. "The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease. These people really have too much free time! Thank you for reminding me, Teacher Jiang. I will be more careful tomorrow."

……

After hanging up the phone, Ye Xian looked at Ding Zhan, who immediately understood Ye Xian's meaning and began to call to inquire about what Li Ming was planning to do.

Qiu Qing looked at Ye Xian with concern: "Why don't we just not go out tonight? We can just order some takeout and eat at the hotel. We already had airplane food on the plane, so we're not that hungry."

Ye Xian reached out and touched her hair: "Silly girl, if someone wants to cause me trouble, I can't hide from them. Besides, do you think these five girls will stay obediently in the hotel?"

Lily and the others quickly raised their hands: "Brother Xian, don't slander us! You clearly wanted to take the boss's wife out, why are you dragging us into this?"

Hasina stepped forward: "Brother Xian, don't worry about not having anywhere to go. I'll call home and arrange a fun place for everyone later."

"Fun places?"

Everyone's interest was immediately piqued. Hasna picked up the phone, said a few words, and then happily hung up: "Let's go, the car will be downstairs soon."

"Hasna, you're making me, the boss, lose face!"

Ye Xian joked, "When I'm traveling, I actually need my employees to arrange good food and fun activities for me."

Hasina's face, hidden beneath her veil, flushed slightly, and her large, dark eyes crinkled into crescent moons as she smiled: "If you don't like it, Brother Xian, how about we just eat takeout with the hotel proprietress?"

"Why is it me again? I didn't want to go out! And don't call me 'boss' anymore!"

Qiu Qing is about to collapse. Why do you all use me as an excuse to go out and play?

Everyone burst into laughter, and Ye Xian grabbed her hand and led her outside, saying, "Come on, let's go, let's enjoy the happiness of being rich!"

……

The presence of three vans and six men in suits and sunglasses immediately made everyone feel safe and secure.

Half an hour later, the group saw their destination – Datang Times Cinema.

"Datang Times Cinema Resort?"

As soon as Daniha got out of the van, she shrieked, "I've always wanted to come, but I've heard people say the lines are so long, so I've never come. Everyone should be off work by now, right?"

Hasna laughed and said, "It's okay, we can still come in after get off work."

Ye Xian was also shocked. Could rich people really play like this?

Just as I was about to say something, I saw a handsome man with a cloth on his head standing in front of the sightseeing bus at the entrance.

"Hello, I am Hasna's brother, Afif."

The man stepped forward, shook hands with Ye Xian, and greeted him, saying, "Thank you for giving my sister a happy youth!"

"Hello, I am Ye Xian."

Ye Xian was surprised that this man was Hasuna's older brother, and said modestly, "It's all thanks to Hasuna's own talent and hard work. I was just going with the flow."

Afif gestured with one hand, inviting everyone to board the sightseeing bus: "There are no tourists now, so please feel free to ask for anything you'd like to do, and don't hesitate to ask for any performances you'd like to see."

Seeing that everyone was a little uneasy, Hasna explained in a low voice, "This resort is owned by my brother. The employees get triple pay for overtime, and there will be extra subsidies for the performances later, so you can do whatever you want."

The women let out a soft "Oh!" and finally relaxed.

Everyone initially thought this would cause trouble for the scenic area and would definitely affect their image. However, since it was opened by Hasina's brother and the employees received triple overtime pay and subsidies, everyone felt much less burdened.

Immediately, everyone began to sigh, "The rich are just rich."

Why stand in line? Let the employees perform for you alone.

Ye Xian suddenly remembered a novel he had read in another world. The male protagonist was a billionaire and took his girlfriend to Disneyland. He proudly showed off his various queuing tricks, little did he know that as long as you pay, you don't need to queue for any of the rides at Disneyland, and they can arrange the best spot for you to take pictures of whatever scenery you want.

He quickly realized that he also needed to change his mindset as soon as possible and could no longer confine himself to that small circle of the past.

In the world of the wealthy, some rules aren't really rules, because they're the ones who make them.

Ye Xian believed that he was not the first guest to enjoy such exclusive VIP treatment at the opening ceremony; before him, there must have been many dignitaries who had enjoyed it.

……

Soon, everyone began to immerse themselves in happiness.

Choose whichever activity you want to try and get started.

Choose whichever performance you want to see and start watching it immediately.

Hasna's brother accompanied them throughout the entire trip, showing no impatience whatsoever, and continuously prepared all sorts of delicious food for everyone.

It was a great experience for everyone.

Ye Xian hadn't had a proper time to play with Qiu Qing for several years, so this was a rare opportunity to relax. He let loose completely and enjoyed this precious time of happiness with Qiu Qing.

Qiu Qing was overjoyed. She thought it would be a long time before she would have a chance to have fun with Ye Xian after returning to China, since Ye Xian was so busy. She didn't expect to have the opportunity so soon, and that they could do many of the things she had wanted to do before.

This sense of happiness and satisfaction allowed Qiu Qing to maintain a perfect eight-tooth smile throughout the evening.

There was no pretense whatsoever.

Simply because I was by his side.

……

At 1 a.m., the exhausted group sat in the most luxurious restaurant of Datang Times Cinema, enjoying a late-night snack prepared by a top chef.

Afif lowered his head and whispered to Ye Xian, "Although today's occasion is not very appropriate, I know that you need to rush back to Haizhou to film after tomorrow's performance, so I'll get straight to the point and ask you for a collaboration."

Ye Xian thought to himself, "They're here."

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

As a top billionaire, Afif wouldn't have the leisure to spend several hours playing with me. He could have simply said hello and left, leaving his staff to entertain everyone.

Having dealt with the Sixth Princess many times, he knew that every action of these wealthy people had a hidden meaning. So, unsurprisingly, he maintained the proper politeness and asked, "You're too kind. You can speak your mind directly."

Afif laughed and said, "I know that Her Highness the Sixth Princess is developing a Dream of the Red Chamber resort, and the copyright of this resort is in your hands."

Ye Xian suddenly realized.

I told you, my small winery and food factory are nothing but small fry in the eyes of these nouveau riche from the big food province. They were actually eyeing this resort project.

The problem is, I've been owing Your Highness money for this project!

You've come to the wrong person to talk to?
