City's Best Divine Doctor-Chapter 1777 - 1737: Endorsement

Huo Yingying wants to see him? Ye Qiu already guessed it must be because of those three songs.

"Sis, I’m at school. Whatever it is, let’s talk after I get home from class."

After finishing the call with Ye Xue, Ye Qiu headed back to the classroom.

He planned to go check the renovation progress of those two coffee shops later in the afternoon. After taking two classes, Luo Yang and Ning Yun were not in the classroom; they were probably watching over the stores.

Actually, the most important thing about renovation is the materials. These two were worried about the workers cutting corners, so they decided to oversee it personally.

Now, Ye Qiu drove to one of the shops where the workers were busy renovating inside. The weather was getting hot, making the workers’ job all the more grueling, while Luo Yang was outside smoking.

Seeing Ye Qiu arrive, Luo Yang said, "Hey, Qiu, you’re here."

"There’s no need to watch them the whole time. Inspect it later; if they cut corners, just don’t pay them."

After all, Luo Yang was the one who arranged for the purchase of these materials.

These days, Luo Yang was hands-on with everything, at least to do justice to the shares Ye Qiu had given him.

"Just came to take a look. By the way, Qiu, about that warehouse, the hundred tonnes of coffee beans should currently be on their way across the Pacific Ocean."

It’s been almost half a month since they returned from the Caribbean. The cargo ship should have crossed the Panama Canal and moved into the Pacific Ocean, heading toward the port of Jinling by now.

The warehouse is the main concern right now since one hundred tonnes of coffee beans are not something that could be easily used up; a proper warehouse is essential.

Choosing a warehouse in between the two coffee shops would have been ideal.

But where can you find such a warehouse in the city center, even if available, the storage costs would be sky-high.

Thus, Ye Qiu knew it would be sufficient to find a good warehouse in the suburbs, where the coffee beans will be stored and later transported by vehicle to the two coffee shops.

Of course, as more coffee shops open in the future, the warehouse will become even more important.

"The suburbs would do; the costs are cheaper there. You and Ning Yun should go and take a look."

Seeing there was nothing else to handle, Ye Qiu decided to head back.

Meanwhile, at the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community, Li Fanghua and Huo Yingying were sitting there drinking coffee, prepared for them by Xiaomai. The two women were waiting for Ye Qiu to return.

When Xiaomai saw Ye Qiu’s car parked outside, she hurried out and said, "Ye Qiu, Miss Huo and the others have been waiting for you all afternoon."

Upon entering and seeing that Ye Qiu still bore the same expression, Huo Yingying became slightly restless and asked, "Did you really write those three songs?"

When Huo Yingying asked with a skeptical look, Ye Qiu replied, "Miss Huo, are you doubting me?"

"Dr. Ye, of course not, I think those three songs are extremely well written. I hope you can sell us the full rights." Li Fanghua quickly interjected.

She had worked with many famous singers and could see at a glance that the three songs Ye Qiu wrote were gems among gems, incredibly rare.

Once released, they should definitely become Huo Yingying’s signature songs.

"I originally just wrote them for her casually."

Ye Qiu said plainly.

"Then what do you mean, Dr. Ye?"

"Of course, she can have them all — it wouldn’t suit anyone else."

Li Fanghua was quite surprised; she hadn’t expected Ye Qiu to understand Huo Yingying so well. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"How much is Dr. Ye planning to sell them for? Will it be a one-time outright sale, or what?"

Nowadays, a good song could sell for thousands, and an even better one for tens of thousands. So, just selling lyrics doesn’t make much money, but it can increase one’s fame, and once fame is high, earning money becomes easier.

Ye Qiu never thought of writing lyrics as a way to make money.

"I can just give them to Miss Huo."

Give them away!

That’s incredibly generous!

Of course, compared to Ye Qiu’s wealth, these lyrics probably don’t mean much, but the value those three songs could bring might be a different story.

Huo Yingying was also surprised by Ye Qiu’s magnitude of generosity. She had just paid five million for his treatment of her scars the other day, which improved her impression of Ye Qiu by quite a bit.

"You can even put Miss Huo’s name on them, but I have a request."

A request?

As expected, Huo Yingying thought Ye Qiu wouldn’t be so generous easily, and said, "Then you might as well just sell those three songs to me; I don’t want to owe you."

"About half a month from now, my coffee shop will open. I’d like to invite Miss Huo to drop by and help with some publicity."

Coffee shop?

Huo Yingying didn’t expect Ye Qiu to also open a coffee shop?

"What kind of coffee shop?"

Neither Huo Yingying nor Li Fanghua expected that besides being a university student, Ye Qiu had so many ventures. The Imperial Cuisine Restaurant alone was impressive.

"A high-end coffee shop, you’ll see when the time comes. Just showing up is all that’s needed."

Just showing up?

If that’s the case, a contract might be required. After all, this is an advertisement. Even if Huo Yingying personally agrees, her company might not.

Considering Huo Yingying’s current status, endorsing an ad casually usually costs a few million.

"I agree."

There’s no need to think about it; the value of those three songs would be much greater than whatever advertisement.

"Then it’s settled. No need for any contracts, and you can claim you’re the songwriter and composer."

Actually, this enhances the image of Huo Yingying as a talented and multi-talented individual, which would definitely make her more popular with fans in the entertainment industry. Nowadays, many singers claim to write their own songs when they’ve actually bought them from others. True all-rounder artists are rare, already impressive even if only one or two appear occasionally.

As Ye Qiu went upstairs, Li Fanghua appeared delighted, seeing it as a way to market Huo Yingying and undoubtedly increase her fame.

Of course, Li Fanghua wasn’t concerned about this since she was well aware that this was common among famous singers.

"Aunt Li, isn’t this inappropriate? I’d rather not use someone else’s name for the lyrics and songs."

"It might slightly discount the value, but you needn’t worry about people questioning it."

The key point is that since Ye Qiu could effortlessly create three such outstanding songs, there’s no telling what else he might write.

"Should I ask Ye Qiu to write two more songs? That way, we could release a full album with five songs."

"No, that would be far too extravagant. An album only needs one standout track, allowing us to release three albums," said Li Fanghua.

That’s how it is for those famous singers — having one representative song per album is already quite good.
