Chapter 1385: Chapter 1359: It’s Actually Him
Ren Xue looked surprised, but didn’t say anything.
Wang Xiaocong spoke up and asked, "Brother Chen, when did you start running an entertainment company again? How come I didn’t know?"
"There’s a lot you don’t know, kid," Ye Chen glanced at Wang Xiaocong and said.
He felt Wang Xiaocong was being a bit dramatic, Ye Chen thought it was no big deal.
Su Wanyi looked nervously at Ren Xue, waiting for her answer.
She knew many college students came here just to showcase themselves and await their opportunities.
But Su Wanyi wasn’t sure if that was Ren Xue’s intention, especially since she had Wang Xiaocong by her side, why would she need to take this path?
Ren Xue was feeling very excited at this moment, she dreamed of becoming a singer, yet never thought an entertainment company would actually find her.
She felt like she was dreaming, Ren Xue was a smart girl, she knew she couldn’t rely on a man and had to depend on her own abilities to live.
Moreover, she was very aware that Wang Xiaocong was a playboy, with countless women around him, she couldn’t be Young Master Wang’s one and only in his heart.
Now Ren Xue’s whole family was counting on her to rise above, how could she pass up such an opportunity?
"Miss Su, is what you said true? Are you really willing to train me?" Ren Xue asked in disbelief.
"Little Xue, that’s right. I think you’re the one I’m looking for, the company will train you well as long as you’re willing," Su Wanyi said with a smile.
"Willing, I’m definitely willing," Ren Xue said excitedly.
"Good, then tomorrow you can come to the company to sign the contract," Su Wanyi smiled and said.
"But, but..." Ren Xue frowned, looking hesitant.
"Little Xue, if you have any concerns, feel free to voice them," Su Wanyi said, looking at the girl in front of her.
"I’m still in college and haven’t graduated yet, I need to attend classes and can’t be in the company for training every day," Ren Xue took a deep breath as if summoning great Courage and said.
She felt that academics were very important, her parents worked hard to earn money to support her through college, she couldn’t abandon her studies for the dream of being a star.
Ren Xue knew that saying this might cause her to miss this opportunity.
Seeing Su Wanyi not speaking, Ren Xue continued, "Miss Su, children from poor families can only rely on diplomas to change their fate, you know it’s difficult for my parents to support my studies, so I..."
Before Ren Xue could finish her sentence, Su Wanyi spoke up, "Little Xue, I assure you that on your way to becoming a star, your studies won’t be delayed, and the company will take care of your remaining tuition fees."
Ren Xue had originally thought she’d miss the opportunity, but hadn’t expected that not only did she not lose it, the company was also willing to cover her tuition fees.
Su Wanyi was deeply moved by the girl’s mindset in front of her.
Generally, people would abandon their studies to pursue stardom, but Ren Xue wasn’t like that, she never forgot her parents’ expectations of her.
"Thank you, Miss Su," Ren Xue said excitedly.
"Little Xue, go to the company and sign the contract tomorrow, and don’t come to places like this anymore. After all, it’s not very safe for a girl to sing in such places," Su Wanyi kindly reminded.
"Alright, Miss Su," Ren Xue said with a smile.
Ye Chen and Wang Xiaocong had been sitting nearby, listening to Su Wanyi and Ren Xue’s conversation without speaking.
Suddenly, a system notification sounded in his mind.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for receiving a Worldwide Delivery order, would you like to accept?"
Ye Chen thought for a moment and answered, "Accept."
He figured that sitting here without doing anything, just listening to Su Wanyi and Ren Xue’s conversation, was less productive than delivering an order and earning system rewards.
"Darling, I’m going to the restroom," Ye Chen said to Su Wanyi.
Ren Xue saw the good relationship between Ye Chen and Su Wanyi and looked envious. She hoped she and Wang Xiaocong could be like them, but she knew it was a naive thought that was unlikely to happen.
"Brother Chen, wait for me, I need to go too."
Seeing Ye Chen get up to leave, Wang Xiaocong felt bored and wanted to catch up with Ye Chen.
But he was disappointed to find Ye Chen had already disappeared without a trace.
Actually, Ye Chen wasn’t heading to the restroom but had exited the bar.
Every time he delivered an order, the system gave him some tips, guiding him to prepare the food accordingly.
This time was no exception, Ye Chen took a look at the details: "The customer has no appetite and hasn’t eaten for days."
Looking at this, Ye Chen suddenly remembered that he had once experienced a lack of appetite, only to have his appetite revived by eating some hawthorn, and he instantly felt hungry.
Of course, he didn’t choose to buy hawthorn but instead, saw a roadside stand selling candied haws, so he bought two skewers.
After all, eating too many candied haws would upset the stomach, but Ye Chen didn’t buy the plain hawthorn kind; instead, he got the ones stuffed with white glutinous rice.
After making his purchases, he found a secluded spot.
A black hole appeared before Ye Chen, and he walked into it.
When he reappeared, there was a magnificent palace in front of him; Ye Chen knew he had traveled back in time.
Because everything in his view was architecture and clothing typical of ancient dramas seen in TV shows.
It seemed he had indeed traveled back in time. Just as Ye Chen wondered which dynasty he was in, two guards stopped him.
They scrutinized Ye Chen, thinking his costume looked odd and believed he wasn’t from their realm.
"Who are you, daring to trespass the Imperial Palace? You must have a death wish," one of the guards glared angrily at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen said nothing, quietly looking at the guards before him.
The guard, seeing no response, grew even angrier and signaled to his companion.
The Two People together detained Ye Chen and led him forward, suspecting him to be an assassin aiming to present Ye Chen to the Emperor.
Ye Chen did not resist; he let the Two People escort him forward.
After all, the system tasked him with delivering food to the current Emperor. If he explained too much, the Two People would definitely not let him in.
This way was perfect; Ye Chen could meet the Emperor without wasting words.
At that moment, the Emperor’s eyes were ablaze with anger, and a row of chefs from the Imperial Kitchen were kneeling before him.
These days, for some unknown reason, the Emperor had lost his appetite and couldn’t eat anything; no matter what the chefs prepared, he simply couldn’t eat.
This distressed the chefs greatly, fearing the Emperor might execute them in a fit of rage.
Officials were also very nervous and worried, realizing the Emperor hadn’t eaten for days; fearing he might be seriously ill, but after diagnosis by the Imperial Physician, nothing serious was detected.
Just then, Ye Chen was brought forward, gazing at the figure in the Dragon Robe on the high seat, with a surprised expression.
"It’s him!"
