Tan Mengle and his underling took the initiative to escort Chu Chen out of the restaurant, watching him depart.

After parting ways with Gao Shiyun, Chu Chen did not head straight home. Instead, he went to the Xilan International Hotel to have a conversation with Zhang Zimo, the president of Angel Entertainment Group, along with several board members.

“Signing Xia Mengqi?”

Finally, Zhang Zimo, the president of Angel Entertainment Group, suggested to Chu Chen.

“Yes, although Xia Mengqi is currently signed, if we can poach her and fully support her with the company’s resources, she would certainly become a sensation.”

“She is a young singer with great potential, possessing what it takes to become a music queen. Once she hits it big, she could support an entire entertainment group.”

Upon hearing Zhang Zimo’s suggestion, Chu Chen nodded slightly. He hadn’t decided yet.

After leaving them, Chu Chen headed toward Eastern Hanhai.

[Ding]

[Task Released: Sign Xia Mengqi, Task Time: 2 days]

[Completion Reward: 33% shares of Angel Entertainment Group]

“33% shares of Angel Entertainment Group?”

Seeing the task, Chu Chen raised an eyebrow.

Currently, he was the second-largest shareholder in Angel Entertainment Group, holding 18% of the shares. He was also considered the vice president.

Zhang Zimo, the president, held 30% of the shares, undeniably the largest shareholder.

If he acquired another 33% of the shares, he would hold a total of 51%.

He would then have absolute control over Angel Entertainment Group.

Essentially, Angel Entertainment Group would be his alone.

With Angel Entertainment Group’s total assets nearly 28 billion, owning half meant controlling 14 billion!

This was a task he must complete!

Moreover, according to Zhang Zimo, signing Xia Mengqi would be highly beneficial for the company’s future development.

It might even help restore Angel Entertainment Group to its peak.

Once, the total market value of Angel Entertainment reached 80 billion, ranking within the top 10 national entertainment groups!

Returning to Eastern Hanhai, Chu Chen found Xia Mengqi browsing tourist attractions in Jiangzhou.

It was Xia Mengqi’s first time in Jiangzhou, and she wanted to explore around.

With considerable time having passed, the group of people should have left Jiangzhou by now.

“Wanlin Mountain or Shuitian Villa, which one is more fun?”

Seeing Chu Chen return, Xia Mengqi sought his opinion as a local.

“Shuitian Villa.”

Shuitian Villa was his property, so Chu Chen naturally chose the latter without hesitation.

“I’ll go with you tomorrow.”

While Xia Mengqi was contemplating how to coax Chu Chen into going with her, Chu Chen suddenly spoke.

“Sure, sure.”

Xia Mengqi was extremely excited.

“I have something I want to discuss with you.”

Having known Xia Mengqi for a while, there was something Chu Chen needed to ask.

“Okay.”

Xia Mengqi nodded.

She also understood what Chu Chen wanted to ask, so she proactively explained.

“The company I signed with previously is called Yinguan Entertainment Group. Although it’s not as good as your Angel Entertainment Group, it has nearly 20 billion in total assets.”

“I signed a one-year contract with them, which just expired recently.”

Xia Mengqi said helplessly,

“But I don’t want to renew with Yinguan Entertainment. At first, they were polite and offered to increase the signing fee.”

“But somehow, this news reached the Crown Prince of Yinguan, the chairman’s son, Xiang Pengze.”

“So, he sent people to try and capture me, forcing me to renew.”

“A few days ago, when I was preparing to go out of town for a performance, I didn’t expect Xiang Pengze to have people on the train.”

“I noticed something was off and escaped when the train stopped for a rest in Jiangzhou.”

“You know what happened after that.”

Xia Mengqi sighed softly, feeling helpless herself.

In the entertainment industry, it was very difficult for a girl with no support to stay independent, especially someone as self-respecting as her.

Originally, she just liked singing and didn’t think much about it.

But after spending a year in the entertainment industry, Xia Mengqi learned more and regretted her decision.

Initially, she probably shouldn’t have entered the entertainment industry.

But she truly loved music, which was why she clung to Chu Chen, hoping he would teach her piano.

“So that’s how it is.”

Chu Chen nodded, understanding Xia Mengqi’s predicament.

However, with her contract expired, things would be much easier.

There would be no need to worry about any breach of contract fees either.

“You like singing?”

Chu Chen inquired.

“Yes.” Xia Mengqi nodded.

“Here’s what we’ll do. You sign with Angel Entertainment. I will soon become the president and absolute controller of Angel Entertainment Group.”

“After that, you just focus on singing and songwriting. Leave everything else to me and Angel Entertainment.”

Chu Chen suggested.

“Once that happens, you’ll be under my protection, and no one in the entertainment industry will dare to touch you.”

Chu Chen spoke domineeringly.

After becoming the honorary vice president of the Jiangnan Music Association, Chu Chen had looked into some records.

The more he looked, the more surprised he was.

It turned out the Jiangnan Musicians Association had such strong influence, holding significant sway in both the music and entertainment industries.

Even as an honorary vice president, he wielded considerable power.

Moreover, according to the president, he had the capability to become an honorary president, though he needed to go to the headquarters to settle with some old-fashioned directors.

“Huh?”

Hearing Chu Chen’s domineering words, Xia Mengqi was stunned.

She was, of course, aware of Chu Chen’s strong position.

Knowing Chu Chen was the second largest shareholder of Angel Entertainment Group, she actually considered it before.

But she dismissed the idea. Who was she for Chu Chen to do so much for her?

Unexpectedly, Chu Chen brought it up by himself.

“I have a small condition.”

Xia Mengqi said softly.

“I want you to teach me piano.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen nodded, considering it a minor request.

“I agree.”

Chu Chen sent a message to Zhang Zimo, requesting an electronic contract, which he printed out.

Xia Mengqi officially signed the contract.

As soon as Xia Mengqi finished signing her name, the system’s voice resonated.

[Ding]

[Task: Sign Xia Mengqi, Completed]

[Congratulations on acquiring 33% shares of Angel Entertainment Group, becoming the largest shareholder, president, and absolute controller of Angel Entertainment Group]

In an instant, Chu Chen’s net worth increased by nearly 10 billion.

And his business empire gained another company.

Life was indeed as lonely as snow.

Effortlessly, he profited another 10 billion.

Being so handsome and rich, how could heaven allow such a thing?

Not to mention, he was also a piano master, filled with depth.

Oh heavens, you are so unfair.

You make me so excellent.

How do the others who aren’t as good-looking, wealthy, or insightful even live?

Chu Chen shook his head helplessly.

…

At Jiangzhou Airport, while Xia Mengqi was signing, a young man wearing sunglasses and chewing a cigar, exuding a sense of high status, walked out.

“Mr. Xiang, you’ve arrived.”

Seeing the young man, those waiting outside quickly spoke.

This young man was none other than Xiang Pengze, the Crown Prince of Yinguan Entertainment.

He had arrived in Jiangzhou as well.

“Did you find out?”

Mr. Xiang asked.

“Yes, we did.”
