‘Has she found out so quickly that I’m a conman and is here to find trouble with me?’
Just as he was contemplating if he should turn his head and run away, Yan Jinyi actually invited him to sit down especially politely.
“You’re Yan Ming, right? What would you like to drink?”
‘She even knows my name too?’
Yan Ming was getting more and more nervous. They had been running this company with a false facade for four or five years and everything had been going smoothly. He couldn’t help but wonder if he was going to get into trouble this time.
“Miss Yan, what does Second Young Mistress Huo want to see me for?”
“It’s not Second Young Mistress Huo who wants to see you, but me.”
‘Sure enough, it’s for Liu Chen.’
Yan Ming said with a deferential smile, “Miss Yan, it’s my fault, I’m also trying to support my family. The good thing is that your cousin did not give me the money, I promise that I won’t lie to him again so please be magnanimous!”
There had always been rumors in the entertainment industry that Yan Jinyi was close to Second Young Mistress Huo. It seemed to be true!
‘No wonder Liu Chen and his grandmother are so arrogant. I thought he was just spouting nonsense because he’s a gangster.’
“Miss Yan, I’ll call Liu Chen now, please lift your hand.”
Yan Jinyi frowned slightly. “What’s the hurry? Did I ask you to call Liu Chen?”
“I…”
“To make it clear to you, call Liu Chen immediately. The head office has perused his profile information and they plan to send him for idol training, which will be conducted by famous teachers in the industry. Training costs 500,000 yuan.”
Yan Ming was a little confused. “Huh? But, but isn’t he your cousin, Miss Yan?”
“Who told you that he is my cousin? Liars like him deserve to have his whole family die. You just need to successfully cheat him out of half a million and I won’t pursue this matter.”
Yan Ming frantically nodded. Liu Chen and his grandmother were both fools so cheating them out of half a million yuan would be a walk in the park.
He took out his cell phone in front of Yan Jinyi and quickly dialed Liu Chen’s number. In order to let Yan Jinyi hear it, he also specifically pressed the speaker button.
Liu Chen took a long time to pick up. Based on the voice, he could guess that Yan Jinyi was still sleeping.
It wasn’t the vacation period yet. At Liu Chen’s age, he ought to still be in school. ‘Tsk, tsk, he’s such a degenerate.’
“Brother Yan, what do you want me to do?”
Yan Ming could easily lie through his teeth without even batting an eyelid. “I’m not disturbing you while you’re having class, am I?”
Liu Chen froze for two seconds. “No, no, we’re having gym class now and I’m catching up on sleep in the classroom.”
“Here’s the thing, I showed your information and photos to the boss. He thinks you’re especially qualified to be the ace of a male idol group. He just needs some training.”
On the other hand, Liu Chen was extremely excited to hear his words. “Really?”
“Of course it is true. Don’t you believe me?”
“I do, I do. Thank you for the support, Brother Yan. Thank you for seeing the potential in me and thinking I’m worthy enough. I’ll bring the money to you in the afternoon.”
Yan Jinyi and Huo Qingyuan looked at each other. ‘Indeed, he’s quite worthy of being a conman. He’s so good at talking.’
“But, our company is planning to let only one male idol group debut in the next two years. Since you’re going to be the ace member, you have to go through training for singing and dancing. So, your mentor will be better than those teaching the other trainees. Recently, there’s a good training class but the price… ”
Liu Chen was now overwhelmed with the fact that he was about to be the ace member of a male idol group, so much that he immediately interrupted Yan Ming, “Brother Yan, do you also need me to pay extra for training fees? Why don’t you tell me how much is needed?”
“Uh, a total of 500,000 yuan.” Yan Ming could not help but look at Yan Jinyi. Seeing that she was nodding at him, he continued, “It’s a top mentor from the US. This afternoon, we will have to hand in the name list for training So, the money has to be handed over in the afternoon.”
