Two hours later.

Lou Wei took Wen Fan along and entered the conference room with Lin Xiao. The first thing Lou Wei saw was that his female staff was so angry that her eyes were red. She tried to keep her eyes wide open with tears rolling in her eyes. He already heard Lin Xiao’s report when they were on the way here. Before he had the chance to talk to Zhang Xuan, Ke Yanan, who was sitting on the other side, made an offer without even introducing himself.

Lou Wei remained expressionless after he heard his offer. He wasn’t even surprised at the other party’s offer. He just looked at Ke Yanan with the corner of his eyes and asked faintly, “Sixty million dollars?”

Ke Yanan nodded. His manager next to him, Zhou Jian, sensed something wrong about Lou Wei’s aura. He smiled apologetically as if he was frustrated with Ke Yanan’s statement. However, there’s nothing he could do about it.

Usually, celebrities are not allowed to do business deals with other companies by themselves. Representatives with relevant knowledge of the entertainment industry will be assigned. But for Ke Yanan… since he is his boss’s favorite male artist, he has a different treatment. The moment he heard that someone will be meeting him for a discussion on buying the copyright for his personal image, he immediately insisted that he wanted to deal with it himself. 

Zhou Jian recalled how his boss spoiled Ke Yanan. He had no choice but to agree as he depends on Ke Yanan to earn him the title of gold medal manager. Thus, he dare not comment about what his money tree wanted to do.

However, a wave of guilty conscience helplessly swept across Zhou Jian when he was facing the boss of Yuan Cheng Technology whose eyebrows were as fierce as a lion, eyes as bright as the stars with his own unique aura. Lou Wei is definitely not a person who can be easily deceived. 

But Ke Yanan is not afraid at all because they are just merely a gaming company, whose boss comes as soon as he calls. How influential can they be, since they are such pushovers?

Moreover, Yuan Cheng Technology was only established a few years ago. Ke Yanan didn’t shake hands with Lou Wei, and continued to speak with his arms across his chest, “That’s right, it’s sixty million dollars.”

Lin Xiao frowned upon hearing him.

Even Wen Fan also finds it absurd. In order to ensure the safety of their artists, the entertainment agency installed CCTV in almost all the rooms. The room that they are in is no exception.

Wen Fan is able to connect to the room’s CCTV network easily and he could see what’s going on through the CCTV.

Wen Fan could hear Ke Yanan’s voice in Lou Wei’s pocket.

He is now connected to the Internet. If he wishes to learn about certain information, and this information happens to be stored in an electronic device that is linked to the internet, he would be able to find it easily.

So the moment he heard Ke Yanan’s offer, he immediately searched for the market price list for all the artists in the entertainment industry.

The market price for a superstar in the show business, with both good acting skill and good looks, casting in a forty-episode TV series, can only get a salary of forty million dollars, provided the series became very popular.

But if the artist has a huge fan base, the price may be one-fifth higher. But it will only be around fifty million dollars at most. If there are many episodes in the series, the price might be reasonably doubled.

However, they are just buying the image copyright of a celebrity, which is almost similar to engaging them to be an ambassador. An offer of sixty million dollars is definitely nonsense. Pricing himself at such a price tag won’t make people think he is worth the price. It will only make others think that he is a shallow person.

Wen Fan knew that Ke Yanan is a very popular artist now. But he really didn’t expect that a person with such a personality would be the hottest artist on the Internet.

This is too tasteless.

Seeing that Lou Wei kept quiet, Ke Yanan felt like mocking him. But his mind went blank for a moment when his gaze fell on Lou Wei’s handsome and resolute face. The words that he wanted to mock Lou Wei were stuck in his throat. He re-examined the figure and face of the man in front of him and suddenly realized that the boss of Yuan Cheng Technology is actually quite handsome.

And it’s not just ordinary handsome.

At least, he is more handsome than the group of male artists in his company. He peeked at Lou Wei’s physique again and knew that he must have done some bodybuilding. He has a feeling… that President Lou is also gay…like him.

His expression changed after making this discovery. Not only that, he even showed a lot more interest. Ke Yanan came closer. The corners of his mouth that had been pointing downward were lifted, “However, seeing that your company is being sincere about buying my image copyrights, we can negotiate the price. I’m asking for at least fifty million dollars”

After he finished his words, he winked handsomely and playfully at Lou Wei.

Lin Xiao, who was next to Lou Wei, tightened his lips briefly as he quickly turned his head to look away while holding back a smirk.

Zhang Xuan seemed to understand something when she saw Ke Yanan’s reaction. She felt even more disgusted, not because of Ke Yanan’s sexual preference, but because of his character.

Only Zhou Jian who stood behind Ke Yanan didn’t see Ke Yanan’s expression. But he heard what Ke Yanan said next, “In fact, it’s totally worth it. Every part of my body was insured. All of the parts are very valuable. I have one for my hair, one for my face, one for my body, and one for my hands and legs respectively. There’s all together five sets of insurance coverage.” After he finished his words, he leaned closer to Lou Wei, “Besides, I’m so popular now. There’s no loss in buying me.”

At first, Yuan Cheng Technology only came to buy the image copyright of Ke Yanan, but now he’s using the term ‘buy him’. Furthermore, he leaned closer and deliberately said in such an intimate tone, it is difficult to let others not think that he is trying to hint at something.

Especially the ‘wink’ that he made.

Zhang Xuan was utterly shocked.

Never in a million years would she expect that Ke Yanan is a gay who looked down on people and felt good about herself.

Wen Fan frowned when he saw Ke Yanan leaning close to Lou Wei.

He felt extremely uncomfortable for no reason. It felt as though his heart was set on fire. Especially when Ke Yanan stoked his hair coquettishly and winked at Lou Wei, he felt a wave of anger gushing at him.

Wen Fan was shocked by his own feelings. It was the first time that he had such a bad impression of someone.

And he didn’t feel sorry at all.

Wen Fan did some self-reflection and came to the conclusion that this was all down to Ke Yanan’s bad personality.
