Chapter 248: The Concert (Part 5)

The entire process of Manager Nie Kai communicating with the Heavenly King was not particularly difficult.

Originally, the Heavenly King didn't even want to listen.

But when Manager Nie Kai quoted a price of 50 million, and even offered to pay it directly into his private account without going through public accounts, even the Heavenly King was stunned.

Where did this big spender pop out from?

Is the economic development in the mainland really that good?

Five million for one song?

Isn't this just giving him money for free?

What the Heavenly King didn't know was that the 50 million price tag already included a 50% kickback for Manager Nie Kai.

The two of them would split it half and half.

No one would turn down money.

The Heavenly King agreed immediately.

About ten minutes later.

Manager Nie Kai returned from the Heavenly King's exclusive lounge with a beaming smile.

"Young Master Zheng, the Heavenly King has agreed. He will perform on stage for you and your girlfriend shortly. Do you have any requests for these ten songs?"

Zheng Qian casually mentioned a few song titles he was familiar with.

"Alright!"

"Good, go prepare then."

Just as Zheng Qian got up to leave the backstage lounge, he happened to run into Yin Yanyan, who had just returned from the stage to drink water and rest.

"Yanyan, you've come at the right time. Let me introduce you to someone; this is Young Master Zheng."

Young Master Zheng?

Yin Yanyan narrowed her beautiful eyes, took the initiative to extend her hand, and greeted him politely: "Hello, Young Master Zheng. I am Yin Yanyan."

This was the first time Zheng Qian had seen an artist from the stage at such close range.

It was even his first time shaking hands with an artist.

Just a moment ago on stage, Yin Yanyan had truly captured everyone's attention.

Her skin was as fair as snow, her figure was graceful and slender, and with that Chinese-style qipao, it added a touch of feminine charm to her.

She was pure and elegant, yet not lacking in sexiness and allure.

Her voice alone was enough to conquer countless audience members and make them bow down before her.

No, that's not right.

It should be before her qipao.

Seeing the look in Zheng Qian's eyes when he looked at Yin Yanyan, Manager Nie Kai suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and a great idea crossed his mind.

Since Zheng Qian had taken a liking to Yin Yanyan, why not just give Yin Yanyan to Zheng Qian directly?

In Manager Nie Kai's eyes, Yin Yanyan was not an artist, nor was she even a person.

She was merely a bargaining chip for a transaction.

Two years ago, Yin Yanyan was deliberately targeted because she refused to accompany that mine owner, and he even threatened to blacklist her.

The company was forced to shelve Yin Yanyan temporarily, leaving her on the sidelines.

Wasn't there a wealthy big shot right in front of him now?

15 billion!

And that was just the money lying in his bank account.

Zheng Qian's net worth was likely far over 100 billion!

If he could use Yin Yanyan to keep Zheng Qian hooked, wouldn't it be easy to promote her later?

It would even save the company a lot of resources.

Manager Nie Kai did a quick calculation in his head.

This was a surefire, profitable deal.

Manager Nie Kai didn't know if his arrogant attitude earlier had caused Zheng Qian to hold a grudge.

He could use this opportunity to eliminate any estrangement in his heart.

Killing two birds with one stone.

Achieving two things at once.

He decided to do it immediately.

Thinking about this, Manager Nie Kai said: "Young Master Zheng, how do you think Yin Yanyan sang?"

He asked Zheng Qian tentatively.

Zheng Qian nodded: "She sang well."

Manager Nie Kai was overjoyed, a gleam of cunning flashing in his eyes.

There's a chance!

Zheng Qian had indeed taken a liking to Yin Yanyan!

"How about this? Are you free tonight, Young Master Zheng? I happen to have a black gold card for a KTV. Why don't I have Yanyan accompany you to sing for a while? What do you think?"

Manager Nie Kai didn't even ask Yin Yanyan; he made the decision for her without authorization.

In fact, he really did have the power to do so.

When Yin Yanyan signed her contract, it was clearly stated in black and white that she must obey company arrangements when accompanying clients for necessary business negotiations.

Besides this power in his hands, there was another very important reason why Manager Nie Kai didn't consult Yin Yanyan.

Two years ago, she had been sidelined because of this kind of thing.

Yin Yanyan should have learned her lesson by now, right?

If she offended Zheng Qian again, it wouldn't just be a matter of being sidelined.

With just one phone call from Zheng Qian, Yin Yanyan could be blacklisted from the entire industry.

Anything related to art would be off-limits to her.

Yin Yanyan would have to change careers.

Her career would be completely over.

Yin Yanyan: ???

The expression on her face was extremely complicated.

Again?

How is this scene exactly the same as it was two years ago!

Two years ago, she was shelved precisely because she refused the company's arrangements.

She had just returned to the stage tonight, and already a big shot wanted to keep her?

This is just too unlucky!

Manager Nie Kai's meaning was already very clear.

What "accompany to sing at a KTV"? It was clearly just wanting him to take her away tonight and have her sleep with him!

For a moment, Yin Yanyan was caught in a dilemma.

Zheng Qian felt that Manager Nie Kai's proposal was not entirely unacceptable.

Just a moment ago on stage, Zheng Qian had already been attracted by her singing voice, which was like that of a lark, and her fair-skinned and beautiful appearance.

Unless one was a monk or a man with male-specific illnesses, it was impossible not to be tempted by Yin Yanyan.

The "power of money" is truly a wonderful thing!

A female singer who was being sought after by thousands on stage just a moment ago.

In just the few minutes she had been off stage resting, Yin Yanyan's manager wanted to send her to his room.

Spending 100 million in real cash not only resulted in a tenfold cashback, profiting 1 billion.

But also getting a female celebrity, a future star-level artist in the music scene, for free.

Isn't this a huge profit?

However, seeing Yin Yanyan's very troubled expression, Zheng Qian didn't want to force her.

He should ask her first.

"So, Miss Yin, would you be willing to go to a KTV with me to sing for a while after the performance ends?" Zheng Qian asked understandingly.

If Yin Yanyan wasn't willing, what would be the point?

A twisted melon might quench thirst, but it isn't sweet.

Gaining her heart would unlock even more positions.

"Yes, yes, yes, Young Master Zheng is absolutely right. You are truly a gentleman in the truest sense!"

After flattering him, Manager Nie Kai changed his tone, as if he were a different person, and said with a very stern expression:

"Yin, why haven't you responded to Young Master Zheng yet?"

What should she do?

How should she choose?

Yin Yanyan's face was already flushed red.

If she refused, the outcome might be even worse than being shelved for two years.

For an artist, especially a female artist.

20 to 28 years old is the golden age.

If she couldn't make a name for herself and establish her status in the music industry during this age, there would basically be no chance for her to get ahead in the future!

At this moment, Yin Yanyan's face was so flushed with shame that it could almost drip water!

Zheng Qian understood Yin Yanyan's thoughts at a glance.

If she wasn't willing, there was nothing he could do.

"Forget it, I was just joking earlier. Actually, I already have a girlfriend."

"Manager Nie, go and prepare."

As Zheng Qian said this, he left the lounge.

"Alright, Young Master Zheng."

"Young Master Zheng, you truly only take one scoop from the vast river."

"Men like you are truly rare."

Manager Nie Kai nodded and bowed to Zheng Qian, smiling as he saw him off.

He wore a smiling face, but in his heart, he was cursing profanities.

"Yin Yanyan!"

"Do you know what you just did?!"
