Dong Jianhua, known as the “God of Song” among the Four Heavenly Kings, approached Chu Mo gently. This man, hailed as a musical prodigy and the first from Hua Country to ever win a Grammy, now respectfully and cautiously lowered his head in front of Chu Mo. It was precisely because of Dong Jianhua’s deliberate tardiness that the joint performance of the Four Heavenly Kings had been delayed until now. At this moment, Dong Jianhua seemed to be waiting for the judgment of fate, not daring to show the slightest bit of dissatisfaction.

At this time, Dong Jianhua’s heart was filled with extreme regret. Originally, he was attending a very important evening party in Hong Kong, and the task was already extremely urgent. So when he received an invitation from the big star Sun Qing, asking him to come to the Magic City, without a second thought, he rejected it. But just after hanging up the phone, his assistant rushed to inform him that the current Sun Qing was not just the former top-tier star – she had become the chairman of Shi Yuan Entertainment.

Dong Jianhua had been traveling abroad recently and had only just returned to Hong Kong before starting his program recordings non-stop. He was unaware of the recent developments in the entertainment industry. As Sun Qing, a top-tier megastar, suddenly became the chairman of the leading company in the entertainment industry, he had not paid special attention to it. Thus, when Sun Qing first called him, Dong Jianhua merely saw her as a female artist whose popularity had declined in recent years, completely disregarding her status as Shi Yuan Entertainment’s chairman.

Once he realized his mistake, Dong Jianhua knew he had offended someone important. So he immediately called Sun Qing to explain himself and assured her that he would rush to the Magic City as soon as possible.

There was no way around it. If Sun Qing were just a top-tier megastar, Dong Jianhua wouldn’t care about her at all. She might be a top-tier celebrity, but he was one of the Four Heavenly Kings. Whether it was popularity, connections, or status, Sun Qing was far beneath him. Even when they met, she would have had to respectfully address him as a senior!

...

It was precisely because of this status gap that Dong Jianhua had not taken the call seriously. However, he never imagined that this recently less popular star would suddenly transform into the chairperson of Shi Yuan Entertainment!

What was Shi Yuan Entertainment? It was a rising behemoth that had also claimed the dominant position in the entertainment industry in recent years. Even as one of the Four Heavenly Kings, anyone who had dealings in the entertainment industry, regardless of their connections and influence, would meet their ruin if they offended Shi Yuan Entertainment.

This was not an exaggeration but a testament to the company’s actual power.

Shi Yuan Entertainment’s market value had already surpassed 250 billion, with over eighty artists ranked first-line or above, almost monopolizing half the entertainment industry. Moreover, most importantly, Shi Yuan Entertainment was the only company in the entire Hua Country’s entertainment industry still capable of creating international superstars.

In comparison, even Ren Wenxuan, the chairman of Shangyuan Entertainment and nicknamed the “Godfather of Entertainment,” no longer possessed the ability to craft an international superstar.

And now, Sun Qing was precisely such a strong existence, holding assets worth 250 billion and capable of creating international-level superstars. Faced with such a powerful being who could determine his fate with a single word, Dong Jianhua had no choice but to compromise.

However, just as Dong Jianhua was about to stop his work and fly to the Magic City, he received a call from his company. The caller was a general manager of the entertainment company he belonged to, soothing him to continue his work. As for Shi Yuan Entertainment, the company would handle the negotiations.

After hanging up, Dong Jianhua was still hesitant, but since the company was willing to step in, he decided not to worry further.

The company Dong Jianhua belonged to was Zhengyuan Entertainment, the fifth-ranked entertainment company with a market value of 46.5 billion. Although there was a gap between it and Shi Yuan Entertainment, Zhengyuan Entertainment had a forty-year history and extensive connections in the industry and was considered to have substantial influence. With the company stepping in to negotiate with Shi Yuan Entertainment, as equals, there shouldn’t be any issues.

Holding this belief, Dong Jianhua stayed in Hong Kong to film with peace of mind.

However, when he woke up the next day without even having gotten out of bed, his assistant woke him up and delivered the shocking news like a bolt from the blue.

The other three of the Four Heavenly Kings had rushed to the Magic City overnight. Now the three of them were already gathered in the Magic City, leaving him as the only one absent.

It was at this time that Dong Jianhua finally realized that the invitation wasn’t solely for him, but all Four Heavenly Kings had been invited. Moreover, the other three, even higher in status than himself, had obediently gone to the Magic City, and only he was still dawdling.

“The one who invited the Four Heavenly Kings wasn’t the chairman of Shi Yuan Entertainment. Sun Qing was merely acting on orders. The real person behind the invitation was Mr. Chu from the Magic City!”

When the assistant uttered these words, Dong Jianhua immediately sprang from the bed, didn’t even bother to brush his teeth or wash his face, and dashed out the door, skipping any further discussion with the company, he boarded a plane to the Magic City. It wasn’t until 5:30 pm that he finally arrived at the Magic City Stadium.
