The Rich Family's Melon King Only Wants to Eat Melon, but Her Thoughts Are Heard Ch. 37

"Should we tell her?" This was the first time Yan Xuan had ever experienced anything this bizarre. He had no clue how Mo Keyu would react if she found out.

But he was quickly shut down by Yan Yueqian's warning. "It's best if we don't tell anyone about this—including her."

"Why not? I mean, it's kinda freaky being able to hear her thoughts, but some of her inner monologue is actually pretty funny..."

Yan Yueqian explained patiently, "I had a pretty boy I was keeping before."

"So the voice was right all along."

"I always thought that man liked me—that he made me happy. But the moment I heard that voice, I didn't hesitate. I went straight to his place and caught him in bed with another woman. I kicked them both out."

"So that part about him being weak and unable to get it up... was true?" Yan Xuan's focus was oddly specific.

The next second, Yan Yueqian smacked him hard on the head.

"What I mean is, maybe Mo Keyu is our family's lucky star. Remember how Yan Hao used to be obsessed with that woman like his life depended on it? Now he's the one calling Dad, begging to come home. And before that? Dad had dinner with the Mo family's father and daughter."

"Don't know if you noticed, but some people don't react at all to those voices. That means not everyone can hear her inner thoughts. The fact that we can proves that the Yan family is special. She's our Yan family's destined benefactor—someone Heaven sent to bring us fortune. People like that, we absolutely cannot neglect."

"Got it, Sis."

Enlightenment hit Yan Xuan like a lightbulb going off.

That sweet face of hers appeared in his mind—those pretty almond-shaped eyes, that mysterious aura wrapped around her whole being.

Seeing the lovestruck look suddenly bloom across Yan Xuan's face, Yan Yueqian could only shake her head with a sigh.

Mo Keyu didn't know the first thing about running an entertainment company, but she wanted a piece of that big cake too.

The day after Yan Yueqian handed her a business card, that experienced agent called her up on his own. But at that point, the company was still just an idea—they didn't even have a name yet—so all she could do was politely ask him to wait and come back later.

Mo Zhengtian went ahead and bought her an entire floor in a downtown office building to use as her studio.

He even registered a trademark for her entertainment company. Mo Keyu picked the name on a whim—it was called Baozi Entertainment.

It sounded kind of lame, but as long as his daughter liked it, Mo Zhengtian didn't say a word. He even transferred a few staff from his own company to help her out.

Mo Keyu was super happy with the place. Once everything was ready, she called up the manager the Yan family had sent her.

But there was still one last problem... her entertainment company didn't have any artists!

"Ahem, Brother Li, any brilliant ideas?"

Mo Keyu looked a little embarrassed. The employees who had randomly been reassigned from the Mo Group to Baozi Entertainment were just as confused—they had no idea what they were supposed to be doing.

"My advice is you find one or two artists first," the agent said flatly.

"Oh~ okay, so how do we go about that? Brother Li, you've got lots of connections, why don't you introduce a few people to Baozi Entertainment?"

Every time Li Pingwei heard the words "Baozi Entertainment," he couldn't help rolling his eyes on the inside.

Just hearing the name was enough to tell how unreliable this company was...

"Online. Or on the street," he replied, brushing her off.

Mo Keyu didn't mind the agent's attitude. After all, the system had already told her his backstory.

Li Pingwei was a pro agent with a sharp eye. Pretty much everyone he picked ended up making it big. One of the stars he personally launched was Ji Xuewei, who was hugely popular now.

As for why he'd ended up in her half-baked company—it was all because he pissed off the wrong people. Not only were his artists poached, but he also ended up buried in millions of debt.

Mo Keyu genuinely felt bad for him and treated him with a lot of patience. At least he was willing to answer her amateur-level questions.

"Let's look online then. There are plenty of good-looking guys and girls online who aren't signed yet. We can send them our company e-card," she said.

Li Pingwei's face didn't change at all.

This had to be the lowest point in his life. As a professional agent who once made a famous actor's career, now he'd been dumped by Moonlight Entertainment into this barely-established startup.

"Brother Li, don't be sad. Sure, we're just getting started, but trust me—if you stick with me, I'll make sure you're living large in the future."

Since she already knew his story, Mo Keyu saw right through him and tried to comfort him.

The manager the Yan family gave her was at least a decade older than her, over forty, which should've been the prime of his career. But not only was he single, he was also drowning in debt. That was just rough.

Li Pingwei shot her a cold look and let out a flat "oh."

"It's all good. Where there's life, there's hope. You've got the professional eye, and I've got the money and connections. You'll be back on top in no time," Mo Keyu kept going, trying to cheer him up. "Once you're successful again, let's see if Ji Xuewei still dares to look down on you."

His face instantly darkened.

Mo Keyu shut her mouth. Oops, wrong move.

"How do you..." His tone was stunned as he stared at her.

He'd never told anyone about what happened with Ji Xuewei.

Damn capitalists. They could dig up anything.

"Anyway, it's getting late. Today's task is finding some hot guys and girls online," Mo Keyu quickly changed the subject, telling the nearby employee to pull up some videos and start scouting for suitable unknowns.

If the staff hadn't come from the Mo Group, they probably would've suspected they'd accidentally joined a scam company.

Other than the pretty boss, everything else about this place totally looked like some shady pyramid scheme.

"If you find any good-looking guys or girls who haven't signed with a company yet, show them to Brother Li. Then we'll send them our business card," Mo Keyu said.

The business card had only been made, like, half an hour ago...

Anyway, this was how Mo Keyu's career officially began. No matter what, she was gonna give it her all—even if she failed, her dad had her back.
