Chapter 659: Chapter 662: Even More Chaotic Than Me
Yang Chen fell silent. His sudden calm expression made everyone around him hold their breath.
After a moment of thought, Yang Chen said slowly, "Alright, time and place?"
"Let's have lunch together at noon. I'll send you the address. I'll be waiting for you there at twelve," Ning Guangyao said.
Yang Chen agreed and hung up the phone. Turning to the others, he said, "I've said everything I needed to. As for your tasks, follow the company's schedule for Lin Hui."
Everyone nodded, fully understanding their work responsibilities.
Yang Chen then called in Zhuang Feng, who had been nervously waiting outside the meeting room. He said, "Deputy Director Zhuang, let me make this clear: these foreign friends were invited by me to help Lin Hui, not to work for the company. Their only job is to serve Lin Hui. They can refuse any requests involving other artists or company business. I don't want to hear about anyone using my name to force them into doing anything they don't want to."
Zhuang Feng, wiping cold sweat, smiled obsequiously and agreed. He understood that these people only respected Yang Chen. Although he didn't know the specifics, he wouldn't dare offend them, knowing any one of them could easily overpower him.
Daniela and the others looked at Yang Chen gratefully. They initially thought they had essentially "sold themselves" to Yulei International, but realizing they only needed to serve one artist was a relief. For these international masters, it was more about nurturing a newcomer rather than degrading themselves, especially since it was the sister of someone important. It was an honor.
In the meantime, they had to deal with the reporters outside. As the management team was pondering how to explain, Donnie, a famous gold medal agent from Italy, stepped forward and said, "There's no need for excessive explanations. Since we will be working with Miss Lin Hui, let's take this opportunity to hold a press conference. Everyone can attend, and I'll explain the situation."
The multilingual interpreter relayed Donnie's words to everyone.
Zhuang Feng's eyes lit up. If they did that, it would indeed create excellent publicity. So many international masters gathered in Yanjing, many of whom had never been to Yanxia before, coming specifically for Lin Hui. Lin Hui's fame would skyrocket!
"But won't the media be very suspicious about so many esteemed masters suddenly appearing?" a staff member worried.
Donnie shook his head with a smile, "We want the media to be suspicious, to wonder if there's more to our visit. To keep Miss Lin Hui's exposure high, it's not just about her singing skills but also about creating buzz. We can give some reasons, but the media will dig for more information and create news, even if fabricated.
"Given our influence, the media will avoid negative reports and instead paint Miss Lin Hui's background as mysterious and enticing."
The management team understood and quickly instructed the company to announce the press conference.
Huilin, standing by, nervously clutched Yang Chen's sleeve, whispering, "Brother Yang, can I really do this? With so many foreign experts, I'm a bit scared."
But today, Ning Guangyao surprisingly broke the ice for the first time, inviting him to a rural restaurant that Ning Guangyao liked very much, and said he wanted him to meet a mysterious guest.
Ning Guodong thought it would be one of his superiors that Ning Guangyao wanted him to meet properly to support him. He was secretly excited, thinking that Ning Guangyao had not given up on him and still intended to groom him to be his successor. But to his surprise, the one who showed up was Yang Chen!
Ning Guangyao glanced at his son and then stood up, smiling warmly at Yang Chen, "Yang Chen, come and sit down. It's been a long time since we last met."
Yang Chen gave Ning Guodong a look, completely ignoring him, and smiled slightly, "We don't really know each other well, so there's no need to use those formalities on me." With that, he leisurely took a seat opposite Ning Guangyao.
"Hmph, you ungrateful wretch," Ning Guodong sneered disdainfully.
Yang Chen didn't bother to look at him, saying leisurely, "Even if I have no face, there are still people who kneel before me."
"What did you say?!" Ning Guodong, as if someone had stepped on his sore foot, stood up and roared!
"Guodong! Sit down!" Ning Guangyao was furious and scolded.
"Dad! He insulted me! Don't you know what he did to your son?!" Ning Guodong shouted, pounding his chest.
Ning Guangyao's face turned dark as he said, "Shut up! It's better to resolve an enmity than keep it alive. The reason I brought you both here is to resolve this issue. Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough? Sit down!"
"Is that something that can be resolved?!" Ning Guodong was breathless, shaking his head, and laughed bitterly, "Did you bring me here today to humiliate me further?! You are actually scolding your own son to help an outsider. You really are a good father."
"If there's anything to say, say it clearly today. You are all grown men. What does it mean to meet and then coldly mock each other?" Ning Guangyao said sternly, "If you want to regain your dignity, don't embarrass yourself here first! Sit down!"
"You think I'm embarrassing?" Ning Guodong's face turned pale, his fists clenched, "Fine, since you think I am an embarrassment to you, I will leave. You can eat and talk slowly with him!"
After saying that, Ning Guodong angrily grabbed his coat and walked out without looking back.
Ning Guangyao shouted twice, but it was no use. He slumped back into his chair, his face alternating between green and white, clearly very angry.
Yang Chen calmly picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of green tea, took a sip, and chuckled, "I always thought that my chaotic life was due to having too many women, which made my home so chaotic. But I didn't expect that Premier Ning, with fewer women, has a home even more chaotic than mine. Tsk, tsk..."
