Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1436 - 1410: Opportunity Before Your Eyes

It’s not peak hour now, so the road was very smooth and it didn’t take long to reach the gate of Star Media Company.

When the taxi driver heard Wang Hao mention the destination, he looked confused.

When they reached the company entrance, the driver looked at Wang Hao and curiously asked, "Are you an artist at this company?"

"Well, sort of, but I just signed the contract," Wang Hao said honestly.

"Could you give me an autograph?" the driver asked, looking at Wang Hao.

"Sure." Wang Hao said, taking the paper and pen handed to him by the driver and signed his name on it, feeling as if he was really a popular star.

But Wang Hao knew that becoming a big star wasn’t that easy.

Wang Hao handed the signed paper back to the driver, then took out the fare from his pocket and said, "Driver, here’s the fare, please take it."

The driver waved his hand and said, "Never mind, consider it a free ride. When you become famous, don’t forget about me."

Although Wang Hao didn’t know if he could become famous, as the road to fame was full of hurdles and twists, he was deeply grateful to the driver.

Wang Hao nodded and, after saying goodbye to the driver, ran towards the company entrance, fearing that Ye Chen might be getting impatient.

He ran all the way to the office and saw Ye Chen casually sitting there.

"President Ye, I’m here, sorry to keep you waiting," Wang Hao said, out of breath.

"Wang Hao, have some water and sit down to rest. Why are you in such a hurry?" Ye Chen asked, looking at Wang Hao.

"I was worried you’d be anxious," Wang Hao said truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen was deeply moved, feeling that the young man before him had a high level of integrity.

"President Ye, what did you need me for?" Wang Hao asked after catching his breath.

"Wang Hao, I want you to release a single," Ye Chen said straightforwardly.

"Release a single?" Wang Hao never dreamed that one day he’d have such an opportunity.

"Yes, to release a single," Ye Chen nodded and said.

"Whose song am I mimicking?" Wang Hao asked.

Ye Chen didn’t respond but instead took out his phone and pressed a button.

Instantly, a song he’d never heard before started playing.

At that moment, Wang Hao’s expression changed, and he closed his eyes, completely immersed in it.

After the song finished, Ye Chen looked at Wang Hao, who was enthralled, and asked, "What do you think of this song?"

"The lyrics and melody are both fantastic," Wang Hao voiced his thoughts.

"Since you like it so much, how about you sing this song?" Ye Chen said with a smile.

"President Ye, are you saying I should sing it?" Wang Hao asked with wide eyes.

"Yes, this song was written specifically for you," Ye Chen nodded and said.

Originally, Wang Hao thought Ye Chen called him to discuss the company’s plans for him, yet unexpectedly, Ye Chen wanted him to release a single and even wrote a song for him.

"President Ye, are you joking?" Wang Hao was still somewhat incredulous.

Newly signed artists rarely receive such treatment, with the company writing a song specifically for them and allowing them to release a single, this is almost unheard of in entertainment companies.

"Do you lack confidence?" Ye Chen asked, staring at Wang Hao.

"Not at all, I’m just afraid of wasting the company’s resources. After all, I just signed with the company as a newcomer, and such privileges are typically reserved for veterans," Wang Hao candidly expressed his thoughts.

Ye Chen actually liked Wang Hao’s character a lot because young people just entering society from university usually have no hidden agendas, they speak frankly and straightforwardly, saying whatever’s on their mind without beating around the bush.

Ye Chen had previously heard Wang Hao sing, though always others’ songs, but the young man before him had genuine singing talent.

Ye Chen already had a starmaking plan in mind, paving the way for Wang Hao’s future.

Nowadays, in this age of the internet, someone like Wang Hao only needs one original song to go viral.

Just covering others’ songs, no matter how well sung, is only still a cover, unless you have distinctive features.

If Wang Hao sings a new song that doesn’t exist in this world, he could explode onto the scene overnight, especially with Ye Chen’s help, it’d be hard for him not to succeed.

Wang Hao was extremely excited about Ye Chen’s proposal.

"President Ye, I’m so grateful for you investing so much in me," Wang Hao said, his expression full of excitement.

"The song wasn’t bought by the company; I just composed it," Ye Chen said casually.

From this statement, Wang Hao gathered a lot of important information and, with an expression of amazement, looked at Ye Chen and asked, "President Ye, you can write songs too?"

"Well, I know a bit," Ye Chen replied humbly.

Listening to Ye Chen’s response, Wang Hao widened his eyes in surprise. He had just listened to the song, and this wasn’t something someone who knows "a bit" would be able to create.

Writing a song first requires understanding basic music theory, which requires a long learning process, and experience is also very important. No one succeeds at writing a song on their very first try.

"President Ye, may I ask you a question?" Wang Hao asked, looking at Ye Chen.

"Sure, go ahead," Ye Chen said.

"Is this the first time you’ve written a song?" Wang Hao asked hesitantly.

"Yes, that’s right," Ye Chen admitted without hesitation.

After hearing this, Wang Hao’s expression became even more surprised.

He looked at Ye Chen, showing an expression of admiration.

Ye Chen was already impressive for owning a media company at such a young age, and on top of that, he could write songs, something not everyone can do.

Even though Wang Hao wasn’t far in age from Ye Chen, he felt he hadn’t achieved much yet, while Ye Chen was already highly successful.

In contrast with Ye Chen, Wang Hao felt a bit ashamed.

Possibly due to his mind-reading skill, Ye Chen looked at Wang Hao and smiled, "You have strong abilities; you just need one chance, and that chance is right in front of you. I believe it won’t be long before you become a popular singer."

Wang Hao was very confident in himself; hearing Ye Chen’s words made him even more confident.
