Chapter 160: The Visit to (Part 1)

“So many companies…”

murmured, her voice tinged with awe. leaned out the car window and saw they were now driving down a wide avenue lined with towering buildings belonging to various entertainment agencies. Names like , , , and stood out—some even recognizable to someone like Lin Tian, who paid little attention to the entertainment industry.

It seemed ’s reputation as a hub for influencers wasn’t unfounded; its entertainment sector was thriving.

“Lin Tian, look over there!”

Gan Yanyu tugged at his sleeve, pointing outside. Following her gaze, Lin Tian spotted a towering skyscraper emblazoned with three bold letters: .

“Oh, that company’s here too.”

Early on in his journey, Lin Tian had crossed paths with , a kind-hearted music director from SYC who lent him equipment when he was just starting out as a high schooler making videos. In some ways, Zhong Wei’an had been instrumental in helping Lin Tian get off the ground. Later, after Gan Yanyu splurged her parents’ money to upgrade their gear, Lin Tian returned the borrowed equipment—and treated the man to dinner as a token of gratitude. He’d considered offering payment but decided against it, wanting to preserve the purity of their interaction.

“Hmm? Do you have ties with this company, Mr. Lin?” He Zhichen asked upon noticing Lin Tian’s nostalgic tone.

“Yes, their music director once lent us equipment.”

“Zhong Wei’an, right?”

He Zhichen didn’t disappoint, naming the man immediately.

“You know him?” Lin Tian asked.

“In Qingzhou’s music scene, everyone knows Zhong Wei’an. He started as a talent agent before climbing the ranks to become SYC’s music director four years ago. Many of SYC’s biggest stars came through his hands—he’s quite the legend.”

“I see.”

“How did you two meet?” He Zhichen pressed.

“At a restaurant where I used to work part-time. He suggested I consider becoming a professional musician, but back then, I hadn’t even started posting on yet, so I turned him down.”

“That was the right call,” He Zhichen chuckled.

“Why do you say that?”

Lin Tian was curious how He Zhichen, a competitor, would critique SYC.

“Well, these big companies all play the same game. They sign dozens of promising newcomers, knowing only one or two will make it big. The rest either get shelved or end up struggling. It’s no secret—it’s common knowledge in the industry.”

“Ah, I see.”

Lin Tian was surprised by He Zhichen’s candidness. Back then, he’d been an unknown teenager with raw talent but no following. Signing with SYC at that point might not have led to tragedy, but it likely would’ve made him another statistic—a disposable rookie.

“What about your company?” Lin Tian asked bluntly. If He Zhichen criticized SYC, surely Yueyun Entertainment couldn’t be entirely clean?

“These practices are unavoidable in our line of work. At its core, it’s about mutual consent. But I will say this: Yueyun Entertainment handles things more ethically than most.”

His tone grew serious.

“To be honest, I don’t enjoy talking about such matters. Capital chases profits, yes—but rather than dwelling on numbers, I prefer focusing on dreams.”

As He Zhichen finished speaking, the car jolted slightly as it crossed a speed bump. Ahead loomed a grand entrance bearing the words Yueyun Entertainment Agency. Beyond the gates stood an older-looking building exuding vintage charm.

The car parked, and the trio stepped out. Lin Tian glanced back toward the gate, noticing clusters of young faces milling around nervously, craning their necks in anticipation. Similar groups had gathered outside other agencies along the way—mostly middle and high school students hoping to catch a glimpse of their idols.

“They’re here to chase stars,” He Zhichen stated matter-of-factly.

For fans, simply seeing their favorite celebrity could sustain their excitement for days. Even if they waited all day without success, the act itself brought emotional fulfillment. Sometimes, Lin Tian envied them. Their joy was simple—they needed only to idolize someone to find happiness. A fleeting glance could brighten their week.

In contrast, ordinary people often required streaks of victories in online games or months of saving up for a coveted purchase to experience similar satisfaction.

At that moment, the crowd of eager youngsters noticed Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu stepping out of the car. Their unfamiliar faces sparked curiosity and whispers. Though they resembled rising stars, no one recognized them. Hoping not to miss a potential celebrity sighting, several fans whipped out their phones to snap photos from afar.

Instinctively, Lin Tian positioned himself in front of Gan Yanyu, shielding her from view.

“Let’s go,” He Zhichen said, leading the way.

Inside the lobby, a poised woman with neatly tied-up hair greeted them warmly.

“Hello!”

She paused, eyeing Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu with a mix of confusion and intrigue.

“This is Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu—better known as from TikTok,” He Zhichen introduced.

“They’re… really Moonlight and Cat?” The woman looked astonished, staring at the pair in disbelief. “So young…”

“Allow me to introduce our vice president, ,” He Zhichen added.

“Nice to meet you, Mrs. Pu.”

Gan Yanyu gave a polite nod, eliciting a doting smile from Pu Yidan, whose softened her tone.

“How adorable!” she exclaimed. In Sichuanese culture, calling someone “adorable” was the highest compliment—it acknowledged both their charm and good looks.

When He Zhichen informed her that Moonlight and Cat would visit today, Pu Yidan prepared extensively, determined to leave a positive impression. Yet, upon meeting them, she realized her preparations fell short.
