Ye Chen visits Teacher Fan in the hospital, accompanied by Fan Ying. When Ye Chen offers to get food, Mrs. Fan declines, citing the teacher's recent surgery. Fan Ying expresses boredom and asks Ye Chen to take her to Disneyland, but her mother discourages it. Ye Chen initially claims he has an urgent matter, disappointing Fan Ying. However, as he leaves, Ye Chen promises to take Fan Ying to Disneyland the next day, much to her delight.

Fan Ying’s face flushed a bit after hearing that, and she ran away embarrassed.

Ye Chen watched Fan Ying’s departing figure, and a question arose in his mind.

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility—that Fan Ying might like him.

Ye Chen hurriedly shook his head, feeling that such a thought was quite unlikely.

Fan Ying was like a sister to him.

Moreover, the two of them hadn’t met for such a long time, how could this little girl suddenly have feelings for him?

Ye Chen didn’t dwell on it and instead left the hospital and drove away.

Seeing her daughter run back with a red face, Zhao Xiuling quickly asked.

"Yingying, what’s wrong with your face?"

Of course, Fan Ying wouldn’t reveal what she really thought, so she lied and said.

"It’s too hot outside, I was sunburned when I was seeing Brother Ye Chen off."

Zhao Xiuling heard her daughter’s explanation and didn’t suspect anything, just nodded lightly.

Ye Chen drove aimlessly, not knowing where to go.

He originally intended to call Su Wanyi, but given what had happened at the hospital, he wasn’t sure how to face her.

After thinking it over, he decided to give Wang Hao a call.

"President Ye, is there something you need from me?"

Came Wang Hao’s voice from the other side.

"Yes, Wang Hao, I’ll be waiting for you at the tea house, I’ll send you the address so we can chat there."

Ye Chen said.

The reason he chose this location is that the environment is quiet, suitable for discussions.

"Alright, President Ye, I’ll head over right away."

Ye Chen hung up and drove to the tea house.

After parking the car, he headed inside, found a room, and sat down to wait for Wang Hao.

The purpose of calling Wang Hao out was to discuss future development plans.

Wang Hao was gaining a lot of popularity due to releasing albums and holding personal concerts, having garnered many fans.

Ye Chen wanted to seize this opportunity to make Wang Hao even more popular.

Simply releasing another album would be too bland; it would be better to have Wang Hao star in a movie or TV show.

Soon after, Ye Chen’s phone rang, it was Wang Hao calling.

"President Ye, I’m at the entrance of the tea house, where are you?"

"Just walk straight inside; I’m in the room at the very end."

Ye Chen replied.

After hanging up, Wang Hao walked in as Ye Chen instructed.

"Wang Hao, have a seat."

Seeing Wang Hao at the doorway, Ye Chen beckoned and said.

Wang Hao sat opposite Ye Chen, evidently a bit tense and uneasy.

"Wang Hao, have a sip of tea first, and then we can talk."

Ye Chen poured Wang Hao a cup of tea and said.

Wang Hao carefully lifted the teacup and took a sip, feeling somewhat relieved.

Before Wang Hao could speak, Ye Chen said.

"There’s no need to be so nervous in front of me, Wang Hao, we’re friends."

Ye Chen didn’t really like Wang Hao’s behavior, which also made him feel uncomfortable.

"President Ye, after all, you’re my boss, and there’s certain disparity in our positions."

Wang Hao expressed his thoughts, genuinely admiring the young Ye Chen for owning his own entertainment company.

It’s something that many envy.

"From now on, just call me by my name, Wang Hao, and we’re not even at the company."

Ye Chen said again.

He didn’t like being addressed as President Ye or boss, finding it quite awkward.

Those with certain status and position often don’t care much about these titles.

Since Ye Chen had expressed himself this way, Wang Hao could only comply.

"Okay, Ye Chen."

When Wang Hao called Ye Chen’s name, his heart was still slightly tense.

However, Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction.

"Alright, let’s get down to business. I wanted to meet you to discuss your future development."

Upon hearing this, Wang Hao’s expression became tense.

He was worried that his current performance wasn’t good enough and had disappointed Ye Chen.

After all, Ye Chen had helped him a lot, and Wang Hao was signed to Ye Chen’s company.

Wang Hao doing well is beneficial to Ye Chen’s company, and vice versa.

Wang Hao had once confidently claimed that he was sure he would succeed.

"Ye Chen, have I done something wrong, embarrassed the company?"

Wang Hao asked nervously, looking at Ye Chen.

"No, Wang Hao, why would you think that? You’re doing exceptionally well, and your future is bright."

Ye Chen didn’t understand where Wang Hao’s concerns originated.

Upon hearing this, Wang Hao’s expression relaxed, he let out a deep breath.

"No, I just fear embarrassing the company."

Wang Hao scratched his head and said awkwardly.

Seeing Wang Hao’s reaction, Ye Chen knew signing him was a wise choice.

Young artists like Wang Hao definitely keep in mind their boss and the company.

They don’t engage in petty scheming.

"How could that be, Wang Hao, you need to have confidence in yourself. I think you’re already quite famous now, I want you to become an actor."

And upon hearing this, Wang Hao was visibly excited.

"Are you saying I should act in movies or TV series?"

Although Wang Hao liked singing, he dreamt of being an actor, confident in his acting abilities.

"Yes, I want to hear your opinion, which do you prefer, movies or TV series?"

Ye Chen asked Wang Hao.

Though he’s the boss, he wanted to discuss it with Wang Hao, since it concerns him personally.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Hao said.

"I personally lean more towards movies; the filming time is shorter, and once it’s released you can immediately see the box office results, whether they are good or bad."

Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction, Wang Hao’s thoughts aligned with his own.

"Yes, I think so too, so let’s make a movie, and I want you as the lead actor."

Wang Hao found himself lucky just to have the chance to act in a movie.

He couldn’t believe Ye Chen actually wanted him as the lead; he thought he heard wrong.

Seeing Wang Hao’s questioning gaze directed at him, Ye Chen asked.

"Is there a problem with you being the lead actor?"

Upon Ye Chen’s confirmation, Wang Hao quickly replied.

"No problem, I’ll definitely do my best and try to ensure the film has high box office earnings."

"Impressive, I’m very pleased with your confidence and determination."

Ye Chen said with a smile.

"Do you have any ideas about the role you’ll be playing?"

This question stumped Wang Hao; he hadn’t considered it at all.

Seeing Wang Hao’s awkward expression, Ye Chen smiled and said.

"Never mind, let me think about the script first, you don’t need to worry about that."
