Chapter 6: The Enchanting Boss's Wild Invitation

“Lin Yu, right?”
A cool, clear voice rang out.

Lin Yu and Song Yang turned simultaneously.

“Mamma mia, Sister Ya!”
The woman before them stood at one meter sixty-five, her figure exquisite, curves accentuated, her skin pale as snow, long hair cascading over her shoulders, dressed in a black gown that highlighted her purity and elegance.

A chilly aura emanated from her, commanding and oppressive.

She was the heiress who had been watching Lin Yu from the audience for some time.

The mistress of the nation’s most powerful talent agency.

She had taken over the company at twenty, and in just three years, had propelled Ji Fei Entertainment to the top of the industry.
At twenty-three, her net worth ranked thirty-sixth on Forbes.
An absolute powerhouse of a woman.

Song Yang admired her deeply and had planned to ask for her autograph after the graduation ceremony.
But now, with her right in front of him, he was so overwhelmed he could hardly speak, his whole body trembling.

“Damn, my brother! My goddess actually knows your name!”
Song Yang exclaimed, unable to contain his excitement.

Lin Yu’s gaze fell on Ji Ya, puzzled.
He knew her identity.
Anyone she recruited was destined for a stellar career.
Her artists were all top-tier.

“I wonder what Miss Ji requires of me?”
Ji Ya’s eyes flashed with surprise.
Any smart person would know that her personal visit meant she intended to sign him.
Yet the man before her was remarkably calm.
Countless people would fight tooth and nail to enter Ji Fei’s doors.
Yet he seemed… utterly unenthused?

Incredible.
Intriguing.

A smile lifted Ji Ya’s lips, as direct and forceful as ever.
“I’m here to sign you. Are you willing to become one of my artists?”

Song Yang was stunned.

Was he dreaming?
He actually had a friend worthy of a personal invitation from Ji Ya herself?!

No way.
Lin Yu was hiding this deep?

It shocked his entire family!
Song Yang could barely describe his feelings.
All he could think was “damn, damn!”

Having lived through this before, Lin Yu knew well—back then, Xu Xiaoqian had gained a foothold in the entertainment world with Wu Zhen’s help.
At a party, she met Ji Ya, and then Wu Zhen spent heavily to build a bridge between Xu Xiaoqian and Ji Ya.
Finally, Xu Xiaoqian successfully entered Ji Fei as a trainee.
With capital and backing, she quickly rose to the top, becoming a renowned starlet.
Wu Zhen benefited enormously as well.

In the end, that pair trampled Lin Yu and enjoyed wealthy, happy lives.

This time, Lin Yu was determined to reclaim everything that rightfully belonged to him.

Ji Ya frowned at his silence.
Was it possible that even with her personal involvement, she couldn’t win him over?

Proud as she was, she would usually turn and leave—there were plenty of talented newcomers in the world.
But what kept her waiting for Lin Yu’s answer was simple.
She’d visited many universities and met many promising candidates.
Yet someone like Lin Yu, who was still in school and could create such a moving original song, was a rare gem.

Ji Ya had a hunch: with a little investment, this boy’s talent could quickly establish him in the entertainment industry and send him to the top.

She was in no hurry; once she’d set her mind to something, she rarely gave up before achieving it.

She turned, found a seat, crossed her legs, and under the sheer fabric, her long, straight legs caught Song Yang’s gaze, leaving him dazed.

Damn… life has no regrets!
If only those legs belonged to him—he’d play till the end!

But sadly… this legendary goddess poured her whole heart into her work, running the company for years without a single scandal.

However… rumors had recently surfaced that she would be marrying a young master from the Xu family, a match made in heaven… whether it was true or not, Song Yang’s heart broke when he heard it.

It wasn’t just him; thousands of men infatuated with Ji Ya were shattered.
But nothing followed, so maybe it was just hype.
A woman like her didn’t need such tricks to stand out.

Song Yang looked to his best friend, hoping he’d join Ji Fei—then he’d hear all the goddess’s gossip firsthand!
An invitation like this simply couldn’t be refused.

“What are your terms?”
Lin Yu sat down, looking Ji Ya in the eye.

The moment their gazes met, Ji Ya hesitated for one second.

In his eyes, she saw a burning ambition—just as she’d had when she took over the company from her father, fierce and awakening like a lion.

She’d chosen well.

In the entertainment world, a place rife with chaos, without ambition, one could never stand firm, never reach the top.

The industry was like an imperial harem, rife with endless intrigue.

But…
He was so young—how could he possess such depth? Did he share her experiences…?

But he wasn’t from a wealthy family, so how could his life be full of such treachery and storms?

Ji Ya tucked her hair behind her ear, revealing her flawless profile, lips curling as she laid out the contract terms.

“After signing, you’ll receive the best resources in the industry. We’ll invest heavily to build your image and help you establish yourself quickly. We’ll also consider pairing you with the company’s top stars, whether via romance or other means… I can’t guarantee everything, but overnight fame is certain.”

Ji Fei was the only agency in the industry bold enough to offer such terms—because their strength backed them up.

On that point, Lin Yu had no doubts.

He stated his own conditions.

“I’ll sign, but I want a slot on your company’s upcoming variety show, ‘A Day with Popular Stars.’”

This show, in his previous life, was a romance-focused variety designed to nurture newcomers and celebrities in the entertainment world.
Many agencies sent their rookies to compete.
With all the interaction between rookies and stars, plus occasional concerts, it achieved millions of views.

The program invited many famous artists, pairing them up as couples for the show, causing ratings to skyrocket.

Initially, fans of the stars protested loudly.
But thanks to perfect planning and the sweet, bubbly interactions between male and female celebrities, countless CP fans emerged.

All the newcomers who participated gained massive followings; some even found love, and shot straight to the top tier after the show.

“Moreover, I want to partner with your company’s top female artist, Bai Yichu, and—boss, you’re going too. That’s my condition for signing.”

Song Yang’s jaw dropped into an exaggerated O.

No way… Lin Yu, are you out of your mind?! You want the goddess CEO, who never appears on any variety show, to join you in a romance show?
And you want a female star as well?
You rascal, before you’ve even debuted, you’re already thinking of winning both the boss and the company’s top star?

I wouldn’t dare dream of that!

“Fine, I accept.”
Ji Ya’s lips parted in a smile. This man was becoming more and more interesting. It was perfect—she could use the variety show as an excuse to avoid a certain annoying suitor for the time being.

Hearing the goddess’s reply, Song Yang slapped himself hard.

Damn! That hurt!

This… this isn’t a dream?! His goddess was really going on a romance show? And with his best friend!

Damn, his brother’s luck—it hurt more than being killed!
