Forcing Me to Be a Godly Tycoon, Right?

Chapter 823: Chapter 342: Her Profession Makes Every Man...

Then Zhang Jingdong sang: ”I’ve been sentenced to lifelong loneliness by love, not fighting back, not letting go, endless circles drawn by my pen, unfulfilled fate in my heart, it’s you...”

Le Yun instantly realized this was an excellent song, and it fit her style perfectly!

If...

Thinking of a certain possibility, her heart was suddenly filled with excitement!

Soon after Zhang Jingdong finished the song, he turned to look at Le Yun.

Seeing her slightly dazed, surprised, and delighted expression, Zhang Jingdong felt secretly pleased.

Then, pretending not to know, he asked, ”What do you think of my song?”

Le Yun finally came back to her senses and couldn’t help but praise, ”I think your song is fantastic. The lyrics, the tune, everything is impeccable. You’re truly amazing!”

Zhang Jingdong then handed her the microphone directly: ”Why don’t you sing a song now? Please give it your all, because if your singing is good, I might consider giving you this song!”

”Is... is that true?”

Le Yun looked incredulous.

Zhang Jingdong casually replied, ”Of course it’s true. I never lie to women, especially beautiful ones like you.”

Although she felt Zhang Jingdong’s words were slightly flirtatious, Le Yun really wanted that song he wrote.

So she earnestly said, ”Alright... I’ll give it my best!”

Zhang Jingdong nodded in satisfaction.

Le Yun then went to the karaoke machine and selected Na Ying’s ”Betrayal.”

At that moment, she was just like a contestant on ”Huaxia’s Voice” eager for all four mentors to turn their chairs, both nervous and confident, with high expectations.

Soon, after the intro ended, she began to sing:

So many years, naive sacrifices given sincerely

Always thinking they’d bring a fair response

The curled hair by your bed cruelly indicates

That lingering love can’t compare to a fleeting thrill

...

Honestly speaking, Zhang Jingdong just initially wanted to flirt with a girl, chat about music, and maybe get a bit closer, all while earning 50 million rewards on the side.

He never anticipated that Le Yun’s talent and singing could be so outstanding!

She truly lives up to the name ”Le”!

She was practically a blend of Na Ying and Wang Fei, possessing the former’s depth and the latter’s finesse.

She was clearly another diva in the making!

Tsk-tsk, with Xiao Fei and her, if both become divas in the future, then half of the Huaxia music industry would be standing right beside him.

Add in Bai Shan and Huo Chengcheng, two uniquely styled opera divas, and he’d have a real-life ”one king and four divas” scenario!

Thinking of this, Zhang Jingdong’s gaze towards Le Yun gradually grew a bit infatuated.

But Le Yun thought he was just appreciating her singing, so she sang with even more devotion!

Soon Le Yun finished her song, feeling both nervous and expectant, yet with a rare hint of bashfulness, ”How... how did you think I sang?”

But Zhang Jingdong didn’t respond right away.

Le Yun noticed him still staring at her intensely, and realizing there was something fiery in his gaze, she understood he might not just have been appreciating her voice. She felt slightly annoyed and bashful: ”Why... what’s wrong with you?”

Zhang Jingdong finally snapped back to reality, giving an awkward smile.

Le Yun gave him a sidelong glance, ”How do you think I sang?”

Zhang Jingdong took the opportunity, ”Just look at my reaction earlier, it was incredible! Your version sounds even better than the original!”

Le Yun was both shocked and delighted, hurriedly waving her hand, ”You’re... you’re exaggerating too much!”

Zhang Jingdong shrugged, saying directly, ”Since you sang so well, I’ll keep my word and give you that song... but you have to promise me one thing.”

Le Yun was overjoyed when she heard the first part, but felt a bit tense as she heard the latter part.

”...What is it... tell me.”

Le Yun’s gaze seemed to have a hint of determination at that moment.

Although Zhang Jingdong spoke casually just now, Le Yun wasn’t naive. She knew nothing in life comes free, especially such a beautiful song.

Zhang Jingdong noticed this, but he knew it wasn’t the time to push his luck.

So he said, ”It’s just... I think your style is very unique, so I’d like you to be my exclusive singer and write more songs for you in the future. How does that sound?”

Le Yun was instantly stunned!

She never imagined Zhang Jingdong wouldn’t take the opportunity to take advantage of her and instead wanted to offer more benefits!

She felt flattered, ”Just... just that?”

Zhang Jingdong replied with a meaningful smile, ”Just that! What did you think it was?”

”I... I thought...”

Zhang Jingdong pretended to have an epiphany: ”Oh... you thought I wanted to take advantage of the situation?”

Le Yun blushed deeply, quickly waving her hands, ”No... I...”

Zhang Jingdong interrupted, ”Alright, don’t worry. I’m not the type who enjoys subtle rules!”

I prefer taking advantage openly, alright.

Of course, he didn’t say that out loud.

Zhang Jingdong then poured some wine into both of their glasses, raised his own glass to take a sip, and said, ”Let’s have a good chat now. I need to know some things about you to write better songs for you, which you should understand, right?”

Le Yun felt that Zhang Jingdong had generously given her a song and assured her he wouldn’t take advantage, so she couldn’t afford to be petty.

She nodded, ”Of course.”

Zhang Jingdong then turned to openly stare at her, ”I don’t even know your name yet.”

”My name is Le Yun.”

Zhang Jingdong knowingly asked, ”Le? Which Le?”

”Le as in music.”

Zhang Jingdong was instantly amused, ”Le as in music, wow, your surname really points out your talent! If you become a singer in the future, your name will be memorable for everyone!”

Le Yun’s face showed a hint of shy smile.

Zhang Jingdong continued, ”What’s your current profession?”

”University lecturer.”

”University lecturer!?” Zhang Jingdong was instantly thrilled, ”What do you teach?”

”English.”

Zhang Jingdong was now completely overjoyed.

Tsk-tsk, which guy who attended university hasn’t fantasized about ’what if’ with his English teacher!

After all, most English teachers are women. At least, all of Zhang Jingdong’s English teachers from middle school to university were women.

And they usually looked quite good, the key point being they often had open-minded personalities and clothing.

Tsk-tsk, looks like another past life’s dream is about to come true!
