You're about to retire from the entertainment industry, yet your concerts are still so popular?

Murong Shujin slowly sat down on the sofa, her brows slightly furrowed: "Junior brother, I only found out today that your concert was pirated. I suggest you give a public response."

She paused, then turned her gaze to Jiang Mengting: "It's normal that there are no signal jammers in the stadium this time, but Ms. Jiang, you didn't even use lasers?"

Xu Hao, who was holding a water glass, almost choked when he heard this and quickly waved his hand:

"There haven't been any cases like this before! Besides, Brother Chen said that fans are recording and filming to capture their precious moments. They would be heartbroken if the laser damaged their equipment."

"The main reason is that Ye Chen's fans have always been very protective of their boundaries, and there has never been a case of them live-streaming his concerts before." Jiang Mengting leaned against the table and shrugged helplessly.

"Even the fan-taken videos of the event were voluntarily kept under wraps until we released the official live version."

"..." Ye Chen's lips twitched slightly as he stood to the side.

It has a strong sense of boundaries?

You mean, I was being danced around in a circle by six fans on stage?!

He rolled his eyes inwardly.

The six living people circling around him were, physically speaking, quite a boundary!

After all, they didn't actually ride on my neck!

"However," Zhang Yiming suggested seriously, "this is such a big matter, Teacher Ye Chen really should respond. Otherwise, the outside world will think you condone piracy, or that the company is failing to act."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mengting nodded in agreement: "This matter certainly deserves a response."

"Fine," Ye Chen replied lazily.

Then, I took the assistant's tablet and opened the operations account.

He adjusted the distance from the screen and started recording with the front camera: "Hello everyone, I am Ye Chen. I agree, uh... I shouldn't say it like this."

Ye Chen paused for a moment.

He pursed his lips, his eyes darting around, as if he was carefully choosing his words.

"But... I really can't get tickets, I don't mind if everyone... um..."

He blinked, his lips curving downwards with force, yet a faint upward curve remained.

"I don't want you to be unhappy because of this, you know what I mean, right?"

After saying that, he immediately clicked send.

The room fell into dead silence instantly.

The assistant was completely dumbfounded!

At that moment, she felt as if the sky was about to fall!

Other singers are eager for more fans to buy tickets, but you suddenly "understand what I mean"?!

How can she continue operating like this?

Those fans caused trouble last night, and now you're attracting more attention?!

Boss, is it too late for me to run away now?

Xu Hao slammed his water glass on the coffee table with a loud bang, his eyes wide with surprise: "Brother Chen?! Are you serious?"

Jiang Mengting suddenly sat up straight, looking like she had seen a ghost!

"No? I asked you to make a statement; they're infringing on your legitimate rights! And you're actually implying this to the fans?!"

The people in the room looked bewildered.

Zhang Yiming's mouth was so wide open that he could almost fit a tea egg inside!

After a long pause, he was both amused and exasperated: "This...is this right?!"

Yu Menglong gasped, then lowered her head and chuckled softly, "Teacher Ye Chen, are you... openly opposing but secretly condoning it?"

"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Such vision, such spirit!" Teng Ge'er gave a thumbs up!

"Brother Ye Chen, you've truly ingrained the concept of spoiling your fans into your very bones!"

Murong Shujin paused for two seconds, then rubbed her forehead and smiled wryly: "Junior Brother... is this what you call a response? It's practically giving your fans the green light!"

"Brother Chen, this isn't protecting your rights... The boss himself is implying 'you can watch pirated content,' how can we sue?! I'm afraid the entire legal department will have to resign tomorrow." Xu Hao slumped on the sofa, covering his face with his hands in helplessness.

Ye Chen handed the tablet back, blinking innocently, "What did I say? I didn't say anything. I just didn't want them to be unhappy."

Ye Chen was speechless at this moment.

Those guys even brought out poetry!

If I sue them again, won't they come at me with "Li Sao" next time?

The sounds of people trying to suppress their laughter hadn't yet subsided in the room.

Murong Shujin sat on the edge of the sofa, her fingers twisting the hem of her clothes repeatedly, hesitating to speak several times.

She was the first to leave the opera troupe and hadn't been in contact with them for a long time.

Having failed to make a name for myself over the years, I feel ashamed to face my sect and even more embarrassed to ask my junior brother for anything.

But now… she bit her lip and finally raised her head: “Junior Brother…”

"Senior sister, just say what you need me for." Ye Chen smiled and turned her chair around. "There's no need for formalities between us."

Murong Shujin's ears turned slightly red. After hesitating for a long time, she still didn't dare to ask about the opera troupe. Instead, she braced herself and said, "I would like to ask you... to help me write a love song that will be widely sung."

"???"

Everyone in the room was stunned.

"Highly popular? A love song?" Zhang Yiming was the first to scratch his head. "Isn't that Ye Chen's forte, which he's been singing for ten years?"

"Teacher Murong," Yu Menglong said cautiously, "didn't you switch to the ancient style track? If you switch back to simple love songs now, the ancient style fans might all leave."

"Exactly," Xu Hao said, looking puzzled. "Only catchy love songs are easy to sing a lot, but if you sing this now, it's no wonder the fans are cursing you."

Teng Ge'er stroked his non-existent head of hair, a half-smile on his face, and said, "To have a song that's both widely popular and doesn't offend fans of traditional Chinese style songs? That's practically impossible. I think this is indirectly testing Ye Chen."

Murong Shujin blushed even more at his words and hurriedly pulled out a piece of paper from her bag: "Actually... I have some fragments of inspiration."

Ye Chen took the manuscript paper, looked down, and saw that the neat handwriting read:

Song Title: Sweet Deal

"Is my sweetness not your love?"

Ye Chen stared at the first line of lyrics, wondering why it felt so familiar.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him!

This feeling... isn't it just like that song from my past life, "Love for Sale"?!

That song swept the streets and alleys back then, and it won the third Chinese Golden Melody Award. Its popularity was off the charts!

Back then, the Chinese Golden Melody Awards were still very prestigious.

Moreover, "Love for Sale" perfectly meets my senior's requirements; this song is quite suitable for her to sing.

When she sings it, it will definitely be incredibly popular!

Thinking of this, Ye Chen suddenly understood, and a smile appeared on his lips: "I understand. Senior sister, I'll take on this question."

"I'll write you one right away."

Ye Chen said as he moved to the table, picked up a piece of paper, and began to write.

"Huh?" Murong Shujin's eyes widened.

I haven't even mentioned the payment for the song invitation yet, and you're already going to start writing it right away?

I think you're just a hardcore addict, aren't you?

Zhang Yiming was the most astute; as soon as he saw Ye Chen start writing, he was the first to rush to the table to watch.

Everyone else swarmed around, five or six heads crowded together.
