Chapter 389: The Connections

Chapter 389: The Connections

'Why am I getting involved in this?!' Lu Xiaotong wanted to cry. It isn't his fault that his son is spineless. But the only thing he can do for Lu Chen is to pray. 

Liu Fei Fei, Ye Meixiu and Feng Meifeng. With Song Yanmei added into the mix, the issue just got bigger. And looking at all of them, all of them have great pride. If Lu Chen treats this horribly, he might be on the short end of the straw.  

...

Chu Jingyi comes out onto the stage, and the lights shine down on him. 

"Brother Chuuuuu!!!!!!" The crowds scream his name out and about. Anybody can tell the emotions they had for Chu Jingyi. Chu Jingyi smiles as he says, 

"Thank you all for coming here. But please don't be focused on me. Today, I'm not the star. I want you all to give your attention to my junior, Zhang Jian!"

When Chu Jingyi said this, a soft and peaceful melody came out through the speakers. The crowd swayed around by how gentle it was. But then they remember what song it was. 

It was the first song Zhang Jian sang at the competition. 

Zhang Jian walks out onto the stage. He wore the direct opposite of what Chu Jingyi was wearing. A peerless white suit with gold linings around it. 

He looks like the modern-day prince. 

"Prince Zhang Jian!" The crowd starts shouting out his name. A smile forms on Zhang Jian's face as he continues to sing elegantly. 

But then, he waves his hand towards them. That causes the volume of the shouting to go ten decibels higher!

...

"Yay! Zhang Jian!" In the VIP room, Zhang Wenling and Fu Chunhua sway together. Lu Chen doesn't know when, but the two wives bust out the glow sticks and fans with Zhang Jian's face on it. 

They even wore those fan kimonos too. Pan Huifeng was forced into wearing one and swinging along with them. Her face was red with embarrassment. 

Lu Xiaotong and Feng Qiang's expressions were stale. And the kids looked away, trying to believe that the people there were related to them. 

Lu Chen's the only person who wasn't doing this. He has a light smile on his face as he looks down at Zhang Jian. Seeing how Zhang Jian captures the crowd's attention gave Lu Chen a sense of accomplishment. 

And this is only the start. Zhang Jian still has room to grow!

"Young master Lu." Lu Chen turns over to see a very serious Song Yanmei. 

"Hmm? What is it, Ms. Song?"

"Don't call me that. Aren't we close? But that's not the point!" Song Yanmei pouts and continues, "I want to sign an exclusive contract with Chu Jingyi and Zhang Jian!"

Song Yanmei's nose for business was twitching. With how Chu Jingyi and Zhang Jian entrap the crowd, she can smell the money coming in. 

And nobody else knows about this as well! The people who blocked ARCS will probably cry when they realize what happened today. 

"Hold on." Song Yanmei thought she got the golden spoon. But she forgets one thing. 

"Hmm, what's wrong, Mr.Ye." The person who interrupted Song Yanmei is Ye Meixiu's father, Ye Honghui. 

"I want to sign an exclusive contract with you two, Xiao Chen." He can also smell the great business coming from Lu Chen's company. Noticing that Song Yanmei has the same thought, he would be a fool not to do it too. 

"...." Song Yanmei mulls it over and adds, "Young master Lu, I will give you first priority reservation to all Song family facilities." The Song family has a lot of buildings that Lu Chen can use. 

"Xiao Chen, I will give you the same thing as well. But you also give you any terms you desire." Ye Honghui adds. He didn't want to lose such an opportunity with Lu Chen. 

Song Yanmei's face turns dark. Both continue to lower their prices, not wanting to lose to the other. That's how much potential they see in Lu Chen's company. 

But they didn't need to compete with each other, 

"I won't be signing any exclusive contract right now. But I will work with the two of you. I'll give you two first priority." Have connections with the Ye or the Song family? 

Lu Chen would rather have both instead of only one.
