Hearing Ye Ming's words, at this moment, Chen Yang decisively said, "Alright, I'll give you three years. Let's go, girl. The family is waiting for you. Let's see how your parents will deal with you when you get back."

At this moment, it was clear that Chen Yang was very doting on his sister. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a decision.

After saying this, he pulled Chen Xi out of the cafe. In such a situation, she felt an unbreakable longing in her heart.

The pain of parting surged in her heart instantly.

Before getting into the car, Chen Xi didn't take her brother's threats seriously. Instead, she looked at Ye Ming and said, "Didn't you say you wrote a song for me? I want to hear it now."

Ye Ming's eyes were filled with reluctance as he looked at Chen Xi and then at the passersby on the street.

The city lights began to twinkle, and the colorful neon lights once again became the main attraction of the city.

The spring rain drizzled, gently and moistly, like a tender hand, sprinkling over the night.

Ye Ming nodded heavily and reached out, and a bright red guitar appeared in his hand.

Chen Yang's pupils contracted sharply. Even though he was right next to Ye Ming, he didn't see how Ye Ming did this. Was it magic? This wasn't a stage, and anyone who could do this was certainly not ordinary.

A magical guitar, a romantic melody, slowly flowed from his hands, filled with deep love, instantly piercing the soul.

An unbreakable bond.

【Just because I took one more look at you in the crowd,

I can't forget your face.

Dreaming of the day we might meet again,

From then on, I began to miss you alone.

When I miss you, you are at the horizon,

When I miss you, you are right in front of me,

When I miss you, you are in my mind,

When I miss you, you are in my heart.

I would rather believe we had a predestined appointment in our past lives,

This love story in this life will never change...】

Outside the car window, the spring rain was flying, playfully passing through the window, hitting Chen Xi's jade-like face. Her eyes instantly moistened, and crystal tears slowly slid down, reflecting the city's lights.

Memories of meeting Ye Ming flooded her mind, a song that was unbreakably deep, a longing that was unbreakably deep.

Chen Yang sighed, "Silly girl, it seems you've really fallen in love."

The Ferrari turned into a red lightning bolt and disappeared into the night, leaving behind a beautiful melody echoing on the street.

The people hurrying through the drizzle didn't notice that at the cafe entrance, a young man who had appeared on the Spring Festival Gala was pouring out his thoughts.

Because of the rain at midnight, he recalled the lamp in the red building.

Sometimes, everything is just a fleeting glance in a crowd, a glance that one can never forget in this life.

Originally, Ye Ming was supposed to go to the film set the next day. Generally, he would stay at the set unless there was something important, even if he didn't have any scenes. He liked staying at the set because it was a great opportunity to learn.

Such an opportunity was quite rare for him.

Unfortunately, Chen Yang's appearance made Ye Ming feel a sense of crisis.

Even with his supernatural system and rebirth experience, he had never been confused or worried about his future.

But at this moment, he felt that he wasn't doing enough, that he wasn't good enough.

Therefore, he decisively contacted Hong Fei. Normally, he would contact his dedicated agent, Fang Fang, but at this moment, he thought Fang Fang couldn't make the decision.

Fortunately, Hong Fei had nothing to do today. When he heard from Ye Ming, he was surprised. This kid hadn't contacted him for a while.

In the office, Hong Fei was studying a newspaper, not sure if he could read anything meaningful from it.

Ye Ming looked at Hong Fei and said, "Brother Fei, I feel I'm not doing well enough. I want to release an album."

Hearing that Ye Ming could reflect on his shortcomings, Hong Fei was very pleased. He had been worried that Ye Ming would become arrogant because of his achievements.

The worst thing for a young person is to lose themselves, to think they are great just because of a little success, and to let their pride soar to the sky. Such newcomers are destined to be fleeting.

Hong Fei had seen many such newcomers in the industry.

He had planned to find an opportunity to knock some sense into Ye Ming, but now it seemed unnecessary.

Hong Fei said, "Ye Ming, I'm very pleased that you can think this way. But don't worry, the company is already planning your album. President Huang's sister is a board member of Rock Records, so we have already made arrangements for your album.

After appearing on the Spring Festival Gala, you are already very famous.

Moreover, your 'Blue and White Porcelain' has become a symbol of the Spring Festival Gala, just like the two queens' 'Meeting in 1998.' Therefore, your future is bright. Just be patient. I won't hide it from you, many performance agencies have contacted the company, offering prices starting at ten thousand yuan."

This is the price of a Spring Festival Gala performer, the price of a pop star. After appearing on the Spring Festival Gala, Ye Ming had the confidence to ask for such a price, especially with 'Blue and White Porcelain' in his hands.

Ye Ming shook his head and said, "No, these are not enough. I can't wait that long. I want to do better. I want the company to immediately arrange the release of my first album. I want to fight for the title of King in one battle, to decide everything in one go."

At this moment, Hong Fei, who was reading the newspaper, was startled by Ye Ming's words. "Fighting for the title of King in one battle, do you know what that means? Do you know how many singers in the Chinese music industry have achieved this? I'll tell you, you can count them on one hand. Every singer who has achieved this has become a true superstar in the Asia-Pacific region."

Ye Ming nodded firmly, "I understand. I know it's not easy."

Hong Fei snorted, "You know it's not easy, yet you still want to do it. Do you know what fighting for the title of King in one battle means? Four platinum albums. Only by achieving four platinum albums can you qualify for the title. Each platinum album represents a sales volume of 50,000 copies.

Each platinum album forms a stroke of the character 'King.' Every singer who fights for the title of King must achieve four platinum albums in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the mainland, meaning a sales volume of over 250,000 copies in each region. With such strict conditions, why would you even consider this?"

Hong Fei was very angry. In his view, Ye Ming was unusually calm for his age, but such a calm young man was now telling him he wanted to fight for the title of King in one battle.

If Ye Ming weren't the leading actor of Yonghua Film and Television and if he hadn't created 'Blue and White Porcelain,' a symbol of the Spring Festival Gala, he would have slapped anyone else who mentioned this to him.

But Ye Ming was very stubborn and confident, "With my talent, with 'Rice Loves Mice,' with 'I Believe,' with 'Blue and White Porcelain,' and with 'Invisible Wings,' I can achieve the title of King in one battle."

Each song Ye Ming mentioned made Hong Fei a bit calmer. Fighting for the title of King in one battle is a great honor. Any singer who achieves this can enter the hall of fame of Chinese pop music.

Each song Ye Ming mentioned could be the lead single of an album. But these were just songs Ye Ming created in his spare time, showing his immense talent, which would one day shock the entire Chinese music industry.

It was just a matter of time.

Fighting for the title of King in one battle, others might say it's impossible, but perhaps Ye Ming could really achieve it.

Hong Fei slowly calmed down. He didn't know what had stimulated Ye Ming to say such crazy things, but at this moment, he was moved.

Hong Fei thought for a moment and said, "How do you plan to do it? This is not easy. Even with the company's full support, we can only open up one region. Too much, and the company is powerless."

By saying this, Hong Fei had already tacitly agreed to Ye Ming's proposal, fighting for the title of King in one battle.

At this moment, it was Ye Ming's turn to think carefully. What was his first move?

Fighting for the title of King in one battle, the first step must be right. One wrong step, and everything goes wrong.

Suddenly, Ye Ming had an idea. His eyes lit up, "Taiwan, let's start with Taiwan. First, the company has business there, and we can leverage Rock Records' power. Why not? Second, 'Empresses in the Palace' is about to air in Taiwan, so I believe we can ride this wave and do better. As for Hong Kong and the mainland, we need to prepare well. Since we're fighting for the title of King in one battle, we can't be too timid."

Hong Fei snorted, "You sound so confident. What if it fails? What if the company loses money? Recording, production, promotion, and distribution all cost money. Who will bear the loss?"

Ye Ming was not intimidated, "Brother Fei, don't scare me. I have a contract with the company, but it's only for two years. If I wait two years, many companies will be willing to sign me. At worst, I'll wait two years.

Maybe I won't succeed in fighting for the title of King in one battle, but I won't lose money. I understand this very well. The company is good, but others are willing to do it."

Although Ye Ming said this, he didn't want to wait a single day.

The contract issue was a weakness for Yonghua. Ye Ming was young, and at 23, he would still have no problem. With the talent he had shown, many companies would be willing to sign him.

President Huang Yonghua was not a professional businessman, and the contract he signed had some issues.

Hearing this, Hong Fei was a bit unhappy and laughed, "You've learned to threaten me. But you must admit that this is risky. You're taking a big risk. What if you lose money?

So, you need to sign a contract. If the first album loses money, the second album must automatically belong to the company."

The company needs to make money, and Ye Ming understood this very well.

Therefore, he nodded decisively.
