If the vase was fake, she would go bankrupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled calmly, “Although Zhou Fei is a master forger, all his works have a secret signature.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen pointed to an inconspicuous pattern, “Take a look there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Wei took a magnifying glass and looked at the spot Ye Chen indicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing the writing on the pattern, Elder Wei’s expression changed dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pattern, viewed through the magnifying glass, revealed the characters for Zhou Fei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s actually a fake.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? A fake?” The plump woman’s face turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Fei is just a modern person. If it’s a fake, her vase would be worthless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vase was something she had spent six million to acquire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Wei took a deep breath and said, “Each of Zhou Fei’s works has his name engraved on it, and this pattern indeed has the two characters for Zhou Fei.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The venue fell into dead silence upon hearing Elder Wei’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plump woman slumped directly into the chair behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Wei’s gaze sharpened, “According to the antique world’s rules, any forgery by Zhou Fei must be smashed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It can’t be smashed.” The plump woman’s face looked terrible as she spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Wei snorted coldly, “You’re trying to break the rules of the antique world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plump woman dared not speak further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Wei snorted coldly and immediately smashed the vase with a hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plump woman, seeing the shattered vase, rolled her eyes and fainted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen left Taobao Street with Xiaomei and Meng Wanting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Wanting said, “Mr. Ye, thank you so much.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled lightly, “It’s nothing, it was Xiaomei who found such a big leak, getting a famous painting for free.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Wanting smiled wryly, “I’m so grateful to you today. Otherwise, with such an expensive vase, how could we have afforded to compensate for it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said, “That plump woman brought it upon herself, she deserved it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sending the mother and daughter home, Ye Chen received a call from Li Yao; Liu Hua had come to the company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen arrived at Light and Shadow Group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the meeting room, Liu Hua was waiting for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen walked over, “Welcome, Mr. Liu Hua.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Hua smiled bitterly, “The entertainment industry doesn’t seem to welcome me right now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said, “Who dares not welcome a virtuous and talented star like Mr. Liu Hua?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Hua said, “I’ve come to seek refuge with Mr. Ye this time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since his fallout with Tiange Film and Television, Liu Hua had been blacklisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All news reports and even some programs were canceled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This demonstrates how powerful Celestial Song Group is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Hua had sought out other companies during this time, but was turned down directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, Liu Hua is just an artist, and no one wants to offend a big film company like Tiange for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled lightly, “Welcome to join us, Mr. Liu Hua!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Hua was stunned upon hearing Ye Chen’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re willing to take me in?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen shook his head, “This isn’t taking you in; having Mr. Liu join our group is an honor for us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Hua expressed his gratitude, “Thank you, Mr. Ye, I understand my situation and am willing to lower my salary.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen, however, shook his head, “No need to lower your salary, we’ll actually raise it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…” Liu Hua was utterly stupefied by Ye Chen’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the lowest point of his career, normally he would expect a fierce pay cut, yet they’re willing to raise his pay?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Hua was truly moved by Ye Chen’s sincerity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Mr. Ye, I will work hard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled lightly; he understood Liu Hua’s capability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although banned, it’s only temporary. Once he returns to the entertainment industry, with good packaging, he can achieve the level of King Liu from his previous life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen grinned, “Mr. Liu, I need a small favor. We have a role, a supporting role, but with a lot of scenes. The previous actor left, can you step in? I promise, the next film will have a lead role tailor-made for you, and I aim to make you a Film Emperor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the current lead, Zhou Fa, isn’t very famous; having Liu Hua act as a supporting role might not sit well with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Liu Hua didn’t hesitate, “Of course, as long as there’s a role for me to act, I’m happy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Hua’s passion for acting is genuine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fallout with Celestial Song Group happened because Wu Ge was too arrogant, even hitting him in front of so many media, which he couldn’t tolerate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had seen the news about “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,” and although it’s a supporting role, it’s a very distinctive character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, all major media outlets reported explosive news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Famous star Liu Hua signs with Light and Shadow Film and Television Group and joins the “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” cast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous actor for Luo Xiaohu was just a second-tier star, and this time Ye Chen directly engaged first-tier star Liu Hua, drawing widespread attention to the movie once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Ge was nearly furious when he saw the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ye Chen, it’s Ye Chen again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First Tong Xiaoya left for Light and Shadow, and now Liu Hua left for Light and Shadow too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a blink, two of Celestial Song’s top talents had been poached by Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Ge took a deep breath; tomorrow was the release day for the new album.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the assistant rushed in, “Boss, Tong Xiaoya’s song release is also scheduled for tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?” Upon hearing the news, Wu Ge’s face turned even darker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet a sinister smile appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he had hired several golden songwriters from Hua Country to create this song for his artist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had declared in the music industry that anyone who dared to write songs for Tong Xiaoya was against him, Wu Ge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, if Tong Xiaoya released a song, it must be a bunch of rubbish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Ge snorted coldly, “This time I will show everyone how miserable it is for an artist who leaves me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Tong Xiaoya was also very nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ye Chen, will releasing our album on the same day as Celestial Song Group be okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, no problem. I want to challenge them; don’t you have faith in those songs of yours?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, I do. The songs you wrote are amazing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen chuckled, “We’ll just wait and give Wu Ge a hard slap in the face tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Ye Chen noticed a post on Weibo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Some artists have nobody willing to write songs for them, yet they dare to release an album. It must be a patchwork of trash.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this message, Tong Xiaoya flushed with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled lightly and replied directly, “A barking dog waits to see who gets slapped in the face tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1281,"2026-06-03T08:12:50.638Z","2026-06-03T08:12:53.523Z",1,"novelbin.me","d92ae7a07577563a413b767755d209c85be5cac97642f55c59cdafd3a7093023","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-535","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-533",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
