Chapter 3323: Ten Shows!===GLOSSARY===

Seeing Ye Chen speak so naturally and confidently, Mitsui Yoshitaka realized that Ye Chen might indeed not be trying to make money through Tavana's concert in China.

He then said to Ye Chen: "Since Mr. Ye has a way to curb ticket scalping, I have no objections."

Speaking, he also thought that since he was doing Ye Chen a favor, he might as well go all the way, so he said: "Mr. Ye mentioned eight concerts, so we'll add two more, making it ten straight. The city and venue selection for these ten concerts will be entirely up to Mr. Ye. As for Tavana and her team's performance fees, we'll adopt a box-office revenue share model. According to Universal's convention, they'd demand 70% or even more of the box office, but since we're working with Mr. Ye, 50% will suffice."

Ye Chen waved his hand: "No need, just stick with the normal 70%. If I still have profit on my end later, I'll donate all of it, keeping nothing for myself."

Mitsui Yoshitaka's expression froze, and he wondered inwardly: "Is Ye Chen deliberately picking a fight with money? Tavana's ten concerts, with just a few tweaks on ticket sales, would yield hundreds of millions in profit—enough to buy seven or eight luxurious Gulfstream G700 private jets. Yet he not only refuses to make this money, but wants to donate all the concert profits, keeping nothing for himself—doesn't that mean he's just working for nothing?"

How could Mitsui Yoshitaka know that, given Ye Chen's wealth, this amount is trivial? Moreover, he has always despised backdoor dealings. This time, he not only wants to benefit domestic fans and let Tavana's economic impact contribute to China's GDP, but more importantly, he wants to set an example for the domestic performance market—where people shout about eradicating scalpers while engaging in even blacker-hearted super-scalper operations. Once Tavana's concert achieves a total eradication of scalpers, any future performance with lingering scalper backdoor dealings will be obviously fishy.

At this moment, Ye Chen saw that the core terms were settled and didn't wish to continue chatting with the few people, so he said to Mitsui Yoshitaka: "Mr. Mitsui, my wife is still waiting for me. I'll leave this to you to handle. I hope each of you remembers my earlier request and makes no mistakes."

Having said that, he ignored Tavana and Mitsui Yoshitaka, instead saying to Fee Kexin: "Miss Fee, let's go inside."

"Okay!" Fee Kexin nodded heavily, made a respectful inviting gesture, and said: "Mr. Ye, please go first."

Ye Chen didn't stand on ceremony with her either, striding back toward the party venue.

Fee Kexin had eyes only for Ye Chen, naturally following him step by step, and even while walking, she didn't greet anyone else.

Seeing Ye Chen leave, Mitsui Yoshitaka inexplicably felt relieved. He didn't understand why—he considered himself someone who had wandered the martial world for years and had received years of elite training in the prestigious Mitsui family, yet facing a young Chinese man, he felt a strong sense of oppression, only lifting when Ye Chen turned and walked away.

Tavana felt the same—before Ye Chen, she also had a strong sense of oppression. Now that Ye Chen had left, she finally had the chance to truly feel the joy of surviving a disaster.

Thus, she couldn't help but burst into loud sobs.

After all, she is a globally renowned heavenly pride, never having experienced such terror, nor come so close to the god of death. After brushing past death, she also needed emotional release.

Nearby, Trevor could no longer care about their earlier quarrel, reached out to embrace Tavana in his arms, and softly comforted: "It's okay, baby, everything's in the past. We should be grateful we're still alive—this even deserves a proper celebration."

Tavana also understood this reasoning: after surviving a disaster, one feels as if nothing in this world matters more than being alive—life itself is the best outcome.

But tears, which are not so easily controlled, so she leaned into Trevor's embrace and wept uncontrollably.

Mitsui Xinmei, who had some personal connection with Tavana, seeing her cry like a tearful person, stepped forward to comfort: "Tavana, what you should do now is calm your emotions, prepare for the upcoming performance. Excessive emotional swings will surely harm your performance. Tonight, you must act as if nothing happened, so on stage, you must not let anyone notice anything amiss."

Mitsui Xinmei didn't offer verbal comfort like Trevor did, but directly pointed out the core issue for her to face—and this method indeed worked. Tavana immediately realized that if her emotions remained unstable and she kept crying, it would greatly affect her voice, even unconsciously draining her stamina, which would surely ruin tonight's performance.

Thus, she immediately reached out to wipe her tears, took several deep breaths to force herself calm, and told herself inwardly: tonight, I must present a perfect performance for the audience, cannot disappoint the fans, and cannot disappoint that Ye-surnamed guy.

Mitsui Yoshitaka, seeing Tavana point out her own emotions, said to everyone: "Miss Svet, it's freezing outside—why don't we head back to the party venue? I'll have my people take these assassins to our Mitsui family's internal hospital for temporary settlement. Let's pretend today's afternoon incident never happened. Do you and Mr. Kennedy have any objections?"

Tavana immediately said instinctively: "I have no objections—everything will follow Mr. Ye's arrangements!"

Tavana now genuinely admired and obeyed Ye Chen. Though the needle puncture wound on her neck still ached fiercely, her heart was filled with gratitude: if not for Ye Chen, she might now be dead for no clear reason. Thus, she harbored no trace of defiance toward him.

Recalling her earlier lack of respect toward Ye Chen, she felt deeply ashamed.

Mitsui Xinmei was also full of curiosity about Ye Chen—she couldn't understand why he possessed such strength, facing so many well-prepared assassins, he not only subdued them but also saved Tavana and Trevor. She also wondered why Fee Kexin had always been so deferential to him. This man exudes mystery and an iceberg-like aura, making one unable to resist wondering how vast the hidden part of this iceberg beneath the water truly is.

……

At this moment, Ye Chen and Fee Kexin returned together to the venue.

Xiao Churan saw the two return and hurried forward to ask Ye Chen with concern: "Husband, what did you say to that Mr. Mitsui?"

Ye Chen casually replied: "Just told him the feng shui of this arena isn't great and needs slight adjustment to proceed smoothly."

Xiao Churan curiously asked: "Did he believe you?"

"Of course." Ye Chen smiled: "I even helped him fix it for free—he was very grateful."

Xiao Churan relaxed, but a new worry welled up: "Husband, do you think tonight's concert can still proceed as scheduled? I see those CIA agents seem quite tough—will they not let Tavana come back?"

Ye Chen smiled: "Don't worry, husband—I just helped Mr. Mitsui resolve the feng shui obstruction, and those CIA agents escorted Tavana back, saying the U. S. side temporarily dropped its investigation into her, so her performance won't be affected."

"Really?" Xiao Churan stared wide-eyed, saying: "I thought those people came with such force, assuming Tavana's concert tonight might be ruined—yet there's already a turnaround?"

"Yes." Ye Chen smiled: "She's already back, possibly chatting outside with the Mitsui family. Rest assured, tonight's performance will definitely proceed as planned!"
