I'm Pregnant with the Villain's Child

Lin Zhan stiffened. He gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Lu Shaoyan didn’t say much more. He left the office with the colorful ball in his hand.

— As he had received a text from Shen Weiyin.

In less than 5 minutes.

Shen Weiyin’s ambitions and urgency could be seen from that.

That made Lu Shaoyan excited. He couldn’t wait any longer to see the crumbling of Lu Corporation as well as… the downfall of Shen Corporation.

***

The joint force between Lu Shaoyan and the Shen Corporation didn’t seem to have any effect on Lu Beichuan at all. Lu Beichuan was still able to find time to accompany Ye Zhen to the news conference after Qinhuai’s Riverbank’s huge success.

Chaoxun Entertainment was now considered to have officially entered the entertainment circle. The success of Qinhuai’s Riverbank had, doubtless, given Chaoxun Entertainment what they needed to stand their ground in the entertainment circle.

As such, many stars’ agents started reaching out to Chaoxun Entertainment.

After all, Chaoxun Entertainment did not have a lot of stars under their wing and the Lu Corporation’s determination to break into the entertainment circle was there for all to see. They would for certain invest heavily into Chaoxun Entertainment in the future. In this highly competitive field, who wouldn’t want to join them?

When asked by the reporters whether they were negotiating with any stars, Lu Beichuan bluntly said that he had handed Chaoxun Entertainment over to Ye Zhen and she would be taking care of all matters related to it. He would not meddle or be concerned over these minor issues.

Everybody made a mental note of that. Naturally, as did Ye Zhen. As such, the first thing she did when she got back to the office was to have Qin Zhiyin bring her all of the information on the stars.

There was a big stack of them. It included many little fresh meats who had just debuted, actors and actresses who had debuted a while ago and had already earned a little fame for themselves, and also stars who had debuted a long time ago but were still unheard of. All of them were interested in Chaoxun Entertainment.

Qin Zhiyin didn’t wait for her to finish going through the stack before she smiled and said, “Truth is, there is one more who wanted to sign with us.”

“Oh? Who?” asked Ye Zhen casually as she flipped through the stack of papers.

“Miss Meng Jie.”

Ye Zhen looked up, “Her?”

“Yes. Her contract is up and she reached out to me yesterday.”

“What’s your thoughts on that?”

Qin Zhiyin smiled and said, “Miss Meng had been blocked for 4 years but her achievement four years ago was unrivaled. Her fame has gone back up a little after the airing of the movie. Over time, Miss Meng will be able to rebuild her glory back to where it was but…”

“You Jing?”

Qin Zhiyin nodded. “Exactly. You Jing reached out to us as well and asked us to stay out of Meng Jie’s business.”

Ye Zhen snickered. “We are signing her!”

Qin Zhiyin was hesitant about it.

Ye Zhen understood her hesitation. She didn’t think that it was worth offending You Jing and the You Corporation behind him over Meng Jie.

“Don’t you worry. You Jing already had beef with me when I had Meng Jie be the spokesperson of our products and be the female lead in our movie. As such, what’s adding more fuel to the fire? Besides, I don’t think the Lu Corporation needs to worry about the You Corporation.”

Hearing that, Qin Zhiyin let out a sigh of relief and smiled. “Okay, I will go take care of this right away.”

“Wait…” Ye Zhen set aside the stack of information on all the stars and said in a low voice, “Our company for certain can use these backbones in the entertainment industry but we shall not overlook the new generation as well. We are, after all, an entertainment company and it is our responsibility to bring in new blood into the entertainment circle. Why don’t we do this? Pick some talented boys and girls that have attractive appearances and positive images, train them, and have them from a boy group and a girl group. You get what I am saying?”

This type of group was very common overseas but not so much domestically.

Qin Zhiyin nodded. “Okay, I get it. I will have a proposal to you shortly.”

Ye Zhen smiled.

How should she put it? Everybody likes what is pretty.

As Lu Beichuan had handed the authority over to her, there was nothing wrong with finding herself some eye candy with said authority, right?

Besides, boy and girl groups might be rare in China, but if they did it right, they too could become the backbone of the company.
