Chapter: 6717
Threei Jin Mei seemed embarrassed and said, "Mr. Ye... I... I didn't mean it that way... I was just simply clarifying the ticket situation..."
Threei Ryo Kyo saw his daughter speaking frankly, so he quickly stepped in to explain on behalf of his daughter: "Mr. Ye, my child is afraid you might get scammed if you bought a high-priced ticket from outside. If not, it would show that our Threei family's internal management is poor..."
Ye Chen gave him no good face and spoke coldly: "Mr. Threei, as the one in charge of such a big family, how can your memory be so bad? We just discussed this half an hour ago, and we're here at the invitation of Sasaki family's Miss Sasaki, Sakura. Your implication is that you think Miss Sasaki gave us her complimentary tickets?"
Ye Chen had no patience for Threei Ryo Kyo.
The more such people are around, the less they can get used to it, because if you give them a little sunshine, not only will they shine brightly, but they'll also feel like they're the sun itself.
If you don't scold him once or twice and make him look silly, he might even think that I saved Tavanna and Craven for my own benefit.
Many high-ranking officials are prone to this kind of excessive confidence, so Ye Chen must keep transmitting two core ideas to him:
First, it's not for your benefit; don't get too emotional about it.
Second, regardless of how powerful or high-ranking you are in Japan, in my eyes, you're just a fart.
Shimizu Ryokyo was also very awkward at this moment, although he didn't know what kind of background Ye Chen had, but he could actually see it; Ye Chen just didn't give a damn about himself.
In the past, if someone helped him with something, all he would say is "I'll remember this" and the other person would be grateful and feel like they were helping someone else's problems weren't their own.
But Ye Chen was different; Ye Chen was full of disdain and looked down on himself, and the key point was that he was actually quite flaccid, so being scammed this time was equivalent to pulling a huge fart in front of Ye Chen and Fei Ke Xin.
So, Shimizu Ryokyo could only say with a fake smile, "Mr. Ye will criticize what you're doing after I've learned from my mistakes and improved my memory..."
Ye Chen didn't pay attention to him and instead looked at Tavanna, saying coldly, "Let's put aside the fact that your wife came all the way here to watch me perform; did you think I was saving you for free? I'm not even related to you by blood or friendship, and you haven't given me a single penny..."
I've always publicly advocated for my stance, which means we're essentially peeing in different buckets. The reason I saved you is because of my wife's face; my wife came all the way here to watch you perform, and if you suddenly died before the performance started, she might be emotionally affected...
So I just saved both of you."
"Ye Chen said, 'It's up to you how you perform. I've already said that as long as you sing all the songs on the setlist, it's fine. If not, you can half-heartedly or fake it. Anyway, such things happen often in our world. As long as the person standing on stage is genuine, the rest doesn't matter. It's just about setting the atmosphere.'"
Tavanna felt insulted and choked back a sob: "I'm a professional singer with a code of ethics! And I'm an original creator! How could you treat me like this...?"
Ye Chen held up his hands in front of him, looking very sincere: "I didn't mean to insult you. What I said was from the heart. Maybe your world has higher standards for artists, but we're used to all sorts of things. American actors and singers may have private lives that are quite embarrassing, but at least they have a specialization in their craft. Many singers and actors in our world don't even know their lines, just making it up on the spot or relying on post-production dubbing. And many singers perform concerts half-heartedly or fake it. We're used to it."
Tavanna saw Ye Chen's sincerity and suddenly felt more at ease, wiping away her tears with a light touch: "The performance can be persisted through without resorting to tricks. It's just that I'm not in the best shape today. If the performance outcome is discounted, don't blame me for it."
"No problem," Ye Chen waved his hand dismissively: "Just go ahead and perform."
Tavanna looked at Ye Chen with a hint of resignation, whispering softly: "Okay... then... tonight's performance will proceed as planned..."
When Tavanna finally agreed to continue the performance, Miura Ryota beside her also let out a sigh of relief.
Originally, he was worried that this little madam might suddenly give up, and he knew her temper. If she got upset, even her company's CEO wouldn't be able to handle it. Anyway, she had earned enough money and had enough influence. If the company annoyed her, she could just take a break for a while without any consequences."
And besides, as long as she tells her fans that she's doing things because the record company is forcing her to do things she doesn't want to do, the record company will be overwhelmed by the fans' criticism. JrNovels.com
