Chapter 1485 Blessing in Disguise

The next day, the morning news featured the arrest of a thief trying to steal from JJ's record company, specifically from the studio where Iris Long and Enrique Valdez were working on their new collab album.

Since Ketchup was originally the one who discovered the thief, Iris was the first to learn about it. She then informed both JJ and Enrique Valdez in the middle of the night, not caring at all whether they were asleep or not.

JJ was furious and horrified after hearing that someone tried to steal from Iris and Enrique's studio especially because he owned the company and it was his responsibility to keep any precious recordings safe.

If the thief succeeded in stealing something from the studio, then it would jeopardize the entire project. JJ didn't want to imagine the consequences.

In contrast, Iris Long and Enrique Valdez were calmer. They didn't comment much about the attempted theft and immediately returned to work as scheduled.

Iris didn't worry too much because if she didn't allow it, nobody could access her music files even if they used the actual computers they were stored in. Ketchup was also constantly monitoring the studio they were using at JJ's company.

But JJ didn't know that.

She didn't want him to overthink especially since the studio computers were his property.

What if he thought that she was encroaching on his company once he learned that she installed her own stealth security software on the studio computers?

Since no harm was done, then there was no need to explain it to him too much.

While Iris and Enrique were busy recording in the studio, JJ called for an emergency meeting. He wanted to tighten the security of his company.

And most importantly, he didn't want to let go of the mastermind behind the theft.

"Damn snake! Sue! Let's sue!"

JJ was adamant in suing one of his rival producers. There was no need to mention the damn snake's name because JJ didn't want to give him any importance.

Instead of working hard to hone his craft, the damn snake wanted to take a shortcut and steal JJ's project!

Unforgivable!

No wonder that person failed to produce any hits in recent years. Even the universe didn't want to reward a damn thieving snake like him.

After the emergency meeting, JJ returned to the studio. Everyone was on a short break when he came.

"I'm sorry for what happened," JJ apologized to both Iris and Enrique Valdez. "I take responsibility for what happened inside my own company. I'll make sure that it never happens again."

Enrique nodded at him, looking unconcerned about the matter. The legendary hitmaker was more concerned about the album recording.

Iris was the same. She gave JJ a thumbs up. "Just let me know if you need any help in recruiting additional security. My husband can introduce you to reliable people."

JJ sighed. "Please. Oh, never mind. You focus on recording. I'll contact CEO Jin myself."

"Alright." Iris nodded.

After the short break, Iris and Enrique returned to the studio's live room with the musicians.

JJ didn't have time to enjoy the raw instrumentals and vocals because he still needed to clean up the aftermath of the attempted theft.

His staff informed him that there was a huge crowd of reporters gathered outside his company building again. This time, the crowd was several times bigger than when the media first learned that Iris and Enrique Valdez had begun recording their new collab album.

He sighed again. But the moment he stepped out of the studio, his mouth gradually stretched into a grin.

Now that his head had cooled down and he could think about things clearly, he realized that this attempted theft was a blessing in disguise.

Neither Iris nor Enrique were interested in facing the media while working on the project, so JJ could use this incident to gather more interest and anticipation for the upcoming album.

"What a dumba**," JJ said while snickering. "You just gave us more media attention by trying to steal from me. Hmph! Now I'll make you pay a huge sum as compensation. There's no way that I, JJ, will let this go without squeezing you dry!"

The staff following him looked at each other as they pretended not to see their boss laughing like a demented idiot.

###

After the day's recording session, Jin Liwei picked up his wife from JJ's record company. They managed to evade the huge crowd of media gathered outside the building by using a low-key domestic-made car instead of their usual high-end luxury vehicles.

Once they travelled some distance away, they got off the low-key car and transferred to their usual luxury vehicle.

It wasn't that they looked down on domestic-made cars, but Jin Liwei just didn't feel assured letting his wife ride in a non-customized vehicle that lacked any extra security features. He didn't want to risk it.

His wife was his life.

If something bad happened to her, he might as well lose his life as well.

Jin Liwei glanced at his beloved wife who was still humming the song she recorded earlier today.

"JJ called me and asked me for advice on how to fortify his company's security," he said.

Iris stopped humming. "Yeah, he told me that he'll contact you."

"I already had Xu Tian take care of it."

She nodded. Then she thought of something and said, "I want to build a new state-of-the-art recording studio at our entertainment company. LXC Studio is now developing in the right direction and we also signed more talents, but we still lack a lot of facilities. The recording studios we have there are too rudimentary for my taste, that's why I chose to record at JJ's record company instead."

"I'll contact Chonglin and tell him about it. If LXC Studio lacks the funds to build, then I'll cover the capital."

She beamed at him and hugged his arm. "I want my own personal studio at the company. I want it to be the same quality as my studio at our home."

He smiled at her. "Of course, love. Consider it done.
