The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 271

Chapter 271

An Yu was undoubtedly a beautiful girl, her fair face flushed with the afterglow of exercise as she greeted the owner and took her place at the piano. The gentle sound of the piano began to play, drawing the attention of many, but not including Chen Xingyu. As the piano played, he happened to turn around, and his gaze fell on the girl sitting behind him, his eyes filled with surprise, instantly forgetting about who was playing the piano.

"Host, the male lead has recognized you," 098 reminded.

Ling Chunann had chosen a particularly good spot. Without turning around, the male lead definitely wouldn't notice him, but the moment he did, he could see him clearly and distinctly, 098 knew this was no coincidence.

Ling Chunann nonchalantly hummed in acknowledgment, not immediately looking up at the male lead.

Chen Xingyu nervously adjusted his somewhat wrinkled shirt, annoyed that he forgot to change clothes before leaving the house, then fixed his slightly long hair, making sure he wouldn't look too embarrassing, before standing up.

"Hello, are you Miss Su Su? I am Chen Xingyu. I watched your live stream a few days ago and really liked you."

Ling Chunann looked up at the young man who wasn’t particularly handsome but had an overall appealing appearance. A few seconds after he looked over, the young man's face suddenly turned red, he smiled, "Hello, thank you for the compliment," then pointed to the seat in front of him, "Please, have a seat."

Chen Xingyu had never been so embarrassed before. When Ling Chunann looked at him, he felt as if he was standing naked in front of the goddess he had secretly admired for years, not knowing where to put his hands or feet. Hearing her inviting him to sit, he felt flattered.

"You're no longer a newbie. Now that you have a system, what does it matter if you've signed with another company? You have countless classic works from other worlds to your name; she'll definitely agree to sign with you." Chen Xingyu encouraged himself over and over in his mind, quickly regaining his confidence and composure.

Seeing the male lead become much more composed, Ling Chunann nodded in approval, "What can I do for you?"

"Well, Miss Su," Chen Xingyu carefully chose his words, "I was the intern manager at Songuo Live Stream. After watching your stream, I was interested in signing you, but you didn't leave any contact information on the platform, so I couldn't reach you. Are you still interested in signing?"

Without too many words, Chen Xingyu asked his question straightforwardly, as if he didn't know Ling Chunann had already signed with another company. Seeing Ling Chunann frown, seemingly about to refuse, he added, "Miss Su, if you sign with my studio, I guarantee to take you to the peak of the international stage."

These words sounded quite over the top, but with the charm aura of Chen Xingyu's system, they were quite persuasive. In the original story, this was exactly how he signed many future superstars and music kings.

Ling Chunann's expression softened, looking at Chen Xingyu with a hint of curiosity, "What makes you so confident?"

"My talent," Chen Xingyu said confidently.

He had already checked; there were no songs in this world like the ones he had. In other words, he could directly use them. He knew he had no talent for singing, which is why he wanted to sign artists. The girl in front of him could definitely become famous not just in China but around the world!

Afraid that Ling Chunann wouldn't believe him, Chen Xingyu looked back at him and said, "Let me play you a song. You can listen first, but my singing might not be very good, please don't mind." After saying that, he walked towards An Yu, who was at the piano.

An Yu was playing a rather soothing piano piece when Chen Xingyu approached her, right as the last note fell.

Chen Xingyu spoke a few words to her, and then An Yu stood up, letting Chen Xingyu take her place at the piano.

Chen Xingyu smiled towards Ling Chunann, then straightened up, assuming a professional posture before starting to play.

"098, what song do you think he will sing?" Ling Chunann asked with interest.

After thinking for a while, 098 ultimately gave a negative answer, "Back to the host, I don't know."

By then, An Yu had already walked up to Ling Chunann, looking a bit tense. Ling Chunann nodded at her to sit down.

After Ling Chunann's interruption, Chen Xingyu was completely focused on him. Today was the heroine's last day working here. As long as she left without confirming a contract with the male lead, his task was basically complete. As for what follows

, as long as the heroine is interested in the entertainment industry, she would definitely be interested in signing with Star Emperor.

When Chen Xingyu's prelude started, the customers, who were busy watching the two beauties, had some of their attention drawn away.

After the gentle prelude, the male lead's voice, not particularly beautiful but magnetic, began to sing.

"I came to your city,

Walking the road you took.

Imagining the days without me,

How lonely you must have been…"

The song, deep and melodious, immediately captivated everyone's attention.

An Yu glanced at Ling Chunann, then whispered, "It's really good. Have you heard this song before?"

When a girl, especially a beautiful one, faces another girl who looks even more attractive, it's common to feel some comparison or negative emotions. However, An Yu didn't seem to harbor any jealousy or envy; she felt a good vibe from Ling Chunann, who seemed very approachable.

Maybe because she wasn't used to striking up conversations, An Yu was a bit nervous. Ling Chunann glanced at the girl's tightly clenched fists and smiled gently at her, "I haven't heard it before. It's probably his original."

An Yu was very happy to get a response, "Hello, I'm An Yu. Are you and he boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Ling Chunann naturally shook his head, "No, he wants me to sign with him, to make me a star."

"Is his company big?" An Yu glanced at Chen Xingyu, whose shirt was wrinkled.

"It seems to be a studio," Ling Chunann replied, looking somewhat troubled, "His talent is indeed not bad, but I've already signed a contract elsewhere. If I had met him earlier, I definitely would have signed with him." Then he focused his gaze on An Yu, "An Yu, are you interested in the entertainment industry?"

A few minutes later, as the last note fell amidst the applause of the audience, Chen Xingyu couldn't help feeling proud. According to System 001, this was a song by a world-renowned singer with a high degree of popularity. Given the poor musical quality of this world, it could definitely be considered a masterpiece. Then he looked towards Ling Chunann's direction, only to find him gone, with only the girl who had been playing the piano remaining.

"Where did the girl sitting across from you go?" Chen Xingyu quickly asked.

"She received a phone call, seemed like an emergency and had to leave. She asked me to apologize to you and said she'd like to talk another time," An Yu answered.

"Did she leave any contact information?" Chen Xingyu asked eagerly.

Chen Xingyu hadn't slept well these past few days, his eyes bloodshot, and his eager expression made him look somewhat ferocious. An Yu's voice trembled a bit, then she shook her head, "No, don't you have her contact information? I heard you say you were going to sing for her, I thought you were close."

Hearing this, Chen Xingyu's face darkened, but his priority was to find Ling Chunann, "How long ago did she leave?"

"About two minutes."

After hearing An Yu's words, Chen Xingyu rushed out the door.

After Chen Xingyu left, An Yu looked down at the piece of paper under her hand, written with a string of numbers – obviously Ling Chunann's phone number.

This was after Ling Chunann received her affirmative answer and asked her to write it down, telling her to call him later. Of course, he didn't instruct her to keep it a secret, but An Yu just didn't want to bring it up. After playing the piano for another two hours and rubbing her somewhat sore hands, An Yu ended her last day of work.

After talking with An Yu, Ling Chunann left the coffee shop. Of course, there wasn't any so-called emergency; that phone call was a timer he set on a whim.

Even though Ling Chunann hadn't officially debuted, his attractiveness was too high, especially among some men who seemed almost unable to take their eyes off him.

098 thought Ling Chunann might be embarrassed and was about to suggest he cover up a bit when, just a few steps ahead, several men bumped into each other.

The reason? Of course, it was because of his host's dazzling smile, and also a flying kiss.

Withdrawing his hand from the flying kiss, Ling Chunann sighed in his heart, "It's a pity the task requires singing. If it asked for becoming the national goddess, that would have been great."

098: "......"

At that moment, Ling Chunann's phone rang. It was Qin Muhe, "Baby, what are you doing?"

Ling Chunann waved to the onlooking guys while smiling, "Shopping."

"Oh?" Qin Muhe's voice also carried a smile, "Where at?"

"Lude Square."

098's voice rang out, "Host, host, the gentleman is right behind you!" And it seemed he had been standing there for quite some time.

"—Next to the pedestrian street." Ling Chunann quickly corrected himself, then "accidentally" turned around to discover Qin Muhe, showing a surprised expression, "So you're here too."

Qin Muhe: "......"

Qin Muhe hung up the phone, looking at the men around drooling over his treasure. If it weren't for being in the middle of the street, he would've stripped this little rascal's pants right there and then and given him a good beating.

Ling Chunann obediently followed Qin Muhe into the car, feeling somewhat guilty.
