Li Yan looked at Ye Chen with a complex expression, and finally, let out a long sigh, gesturing to him gently.

"Come here," Li Yan said.

The entertainment industry was in a state of chaos, and as a woman, it was extremely difficult for Li Yan to have held her ground until now.

Instead of struggling on her own, it would be better to go along with Ye Chen.

After all, Li Yan found Ye Chen very pleasing to the eye, and since he had done her a great favor, she would be more than willing to give herself to him.

"You?" Ye Chen was shocked. What was she up to!

"Don't wait for me to change my mind!" Li Yan said. "I thought you were different, not like those other men, but it turns out... haha."

"But in the end, you saved my life!" Li Yan sighed deeply. "I'll give myself to you as a way to repay you... but remember, it can only happen once!"

Li Yan had gone from a young girl to a leftover woman, and from a leftover woman to a 'golden leftover lady.' If things continued, she would become a 'golden saint'!

Even though Li Yan had endured until now without being tainted by worldly views, how many people would believe that?

So, Li Yan had decided not to hold on any longer.

"Li Yan, what are you doing?" Ye Chen was stupefied.

"Didn't you say you wanted me?" Li Yan said angrily. "If you want me, I'll give myself to you!"

Ye Chen: "..."

"Now that I've said all this, do you still intend to play the saint?" Li Yan said.

"I think you've misunderstood!" Ye Chen said. "I'm planning on starting a film and entertainment company, and I was hoping you would sign with my company!"

"You're starting an entertainment company and want to sign me?" Li Yan was astonished.

"..."

"Why didn't you make that clear!" Li Yan was furious with Ye Chen.

"You were saying such things, I was too shocked to explain!" Ye Chen said, expressing his innocence.

"..."

After Li Yan realized her mistake, she disappeared from Ye Chen's presence like the wind and ran to her room to cry.

Ye Chen looked slightly wronged.

He hadn't said or done anything, but Li Yan had misconstrued his intentions—who could be blamed for that?

However, Ye Chen didn't leave because Li Yan had run off without giving him an answer.

After Ye Chen was discharged from the military, he lived among the commoners without showing off his divine skills.

But when he left that mountain village and merged into the city, his heart, unwilling to accept mediocrity, began to grow restless again.

Ye Chen wanted to transform into a dragon amid wind and rain!

Ye Chen had wanted to start a pharmaceutical company, but a certain woman didn't believe him, which led to the failure of that plan.

Now, Ye Chen wanted to start a film and entertainment company. Since he was already in this industry and Zhang Xinlan had been striving in it for many years, if they joined forces, they should be able to make it big!

What makes a film and television company popular? It's the artists under its banner. Ye Chen already had two cards in hand, the first being Zhang Xinlan and the second Liu Shihua!

Add to that the most popular female anchor, and he had amassed a significant influence.

Half an hour later.

Li Yan walked out of her room with a calm expression, her gaze steady as she approached Ye Chen, with no trace of the earlier anger, only a serene demeanor.

"Did you just say you want to start a film and entertainment company?" Li Yan sat opposite Ye Chen, asking thus.

Li Yan broached the subject of Ye Chen starting a company, without mentioning the earlier awkwardness.

"That's right, I want to invite you to join my company!" Ye Chen nodded.

"The entertainment industry is incredibly complex; establishing a foothold in this circle is anything but easy!" Li Yan said, her words might sound harsh, but they were spoken in earnest.

The waters of the entertainment industry are deep, and achieving success and fame within this circle is as difficult as reaching the heavens!

For Ye Chen, a nobody, breaking into the entertainment industry was going to be extremely difficult!

"You don't need to worry about that. Since I am preparing to create a company, I intend to make it profitable. If you sign with my company, I won't shortchange you a penny!" Ye Chen said.

Ye Chen spoke of money candidly, never shying away from the topic. Money is mundane, but it didn't sound vulgar coming from him because money is indeed a tangible thing; no one despises it, and society is just that pragmatic!

"My contract expires in half a year; joining your company won't be an issue. After all, I owe you a debt of gratitude," said Li Yan, who actually took a light view of money as it was the very least of her concerns nowadays. "However, the entertainment industry is really mixed. With no backing, you won't be able to handle things smoothly in this circle. Instead of making money, you might end up losing a fortune!"

"You mustn't act on an impulse, investing wildly, or else you could lose everything you have!" Li Yan advised earnestly, suggesting that one should not enter the perilous depths of the entertainment industry recklessly.

"But I still want to give it a try. How many times in life can one act on impulse?" Ye Chen remained committed to his idea. "Besides, if we don't live a little wildly, we'll be old before we know it!"

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he exuded a sharpness, a determined spirit to overcome challenges, an indomitable will, cutting through all obstacles!

Seeing Ye Chen's resolute manner, Li Yan felt as if she were witnessing a tiger's roar shaking the heavens, an eagle soaring through the sky, a giant cleaving the earth—it was all somewhat surreal, and at that moment, Ye Chen was at his most captivating.

"Alright then, if you establish a film company, I'll sign under your banner," said Li Yan.

Ye Chen was very young, and the entertainment industry wasn't a place where brute force could win the world. But even though Li Yan had her doubts about Ye Chen, she was going to support him!

There were no other reasons; Ye Chen had saved her life, and that alone was enough for Li Yan to act this way.

Besides, Ye Chen had an inexplicable charisma; he was a man of miracles, always able to accomplish what others could not!

"Thank you, thank you!" Ye Chen repeated his thanks because he was genuinely grateful for Li Yan's support.

In today's society, gaining someone else's trust is extremely difficult.

It was like when Ye Chen saved Chu Yanran's son and later wanted to start a pharmaceutical company with her, only to be doubted by this empress, and because he could not gain Chu Yanran's trust, that plan eventually fell through.

Ye Chen was a commoner, just a bodyguard, but when he boasted about starting a film company, Li Yan didn't question his ability or his capital, she only told him the pros and cons and ultimately chose to trust him unconditionally and support him!

For Li Yan's trust, Ye Chen was truly happy and grateful!

"I'm leaving now." Finally, Ye Chen said his farewells, indicating his departure.

"Yan has already booked a table; have lunch with me before you go!" Li Yan insisted, as it was lunchtime, and she naturally wouldn't let him leave—it wasn't hospitable.

"No need, just remember your promise!" Ultimately, Ye Chen left, leaving behind those words.

Li Yan watched as Ye Chen departed, the man who refused to live an ordinary life and was taking his first step toward transformation.
