Chapter 371: A Great Bargain

She aimlessly wandered the streets, and though a few hooligans approached to harass her, they immediately scattered in fright after hearing her voice.

Shang Tiantian's lips curled into a self-mocking smile; in the past, wherever she went, fervent fans would pursue her relentlessly, impossible to stop. She never imagined a day when even hooligans wouldn't be interested in her.

At midnight, homeless, Shang Tiantian walked onto a large bridge. The night was deep, the bridge was empty, and the passing vehicles were much fewer.

Under the streetlights, she looked at the rolling river below, and countless past scenes instantly flooded her mind.

She was once a kind, driven, and idealistic girl, but after entering the entertainment industry, her Heart-Nature slowly became lost amidst money and a life of debauchery.

She gradually became arrogant, willful, domineering, and even unreasonable.

Over time, she actually began to feel that her fans' support and love were her due, that she should be superior, and that she should enjoy things others could not.

Thinking of her past actions at this moment, her cheeks burned, and her heart was filled with regret and remorse.

After a long time of contemplation, and considering her predicament, she truly felt an urge to leap down and find complete liberation, yet she was unwilling, as she still had her loved ones and dreams.

Just then, a voice came from beside her, "What are you thinking about?"

Shang Tiantian turned her head to see a handsome Young man standing beside her, none other than Ye Bufan, who had appeared at some unknown time.

Seeing Ye Bufan again, she no longer felt her usual irritability and resentment. After a moment of hesitation, she whispered, "I'm sorry."

Ye Bufan looked at her with deep eyes, "Shouldn't you hate me instead?"

Shang Tiantian turned her head to look at the river again, "It was always my fault in the past; I can't blame you at all, nor can I blame anyone else.

It's a pity I don't have my phone or computer now, otherwise I truly want to say sorry to those fans who love me."

From her sincere expression, it was clear that this woman had indeed recognized her mistakes. Sometimes, circumstances truly can change a person's way of thinking.

Ye Bufan said, "If you were given a chance to start over, what would you do?"

Shang Tiantian thought seriously and said, "Respect others, respect myself, do my work well, and always retain my original Heart-Nature."

Then she shook her head, "That's no longer possible. Everything that's lost can't come back."

"Who

said that? Anything is possible." Ye Bufan looked at her and smiled slightly, "Haven't you noticed that you've already changed?"

Shang Tiantian said, "Are you saying I've recognized my mistakes? Although this time was a disaster, it also allowed me to re-examine myself, which can be considered a good thing."

"I'm talking about your voice."

Prompted by Ye Bufan, Shang Tiantian suddenly realized that her voice had returned to its previous state, without the low and hoarse quality, and was even sweeter than before.

"This… this…"

Shock, excitement, joy—countless emotions surged in her heart. Tears of gratitude streamed from Shang Tiantian's eyes, and she said emotionally, "Dr. Ye… Dr. Ye, didn't you say you wouldn't treat me?"

Ye Bufan smiled, "Times have changed. You were a big star then, but now you're worthless. Curing you doesn't count as breaking my word."

"Dr. Ye, thank you!"

Shang Tiantian bent her knees, about to kneel before Ye Bufan, but he reached out and stopped her.

"Get up. It's good that you've found yourself again," Ye Bufan said, "What are your plans for the future? Will you continue in the entertainment industry?"

Shang Tiantian stabilized her emotions and said, "I haven't thought it through yet. Although I love to sing, I've already been terminated by my company.

The entertainment industry is too deep; it's truly too difficult for someone without a background to make a name for themselves."

Ye Bufan said, "I just established an entertainment company called Brothers Film Company. If you're willing, come work for me!"

Shang Tiantian's face was filled with surprise. She naturally knew the reputation of Brothers Investment Company; her trip to Jiangnan City this time was precisely for this company.

"Really, Dr. Ye? You are truly my great benefactor! As long as you don't mind, I am willing to sign a permanent contract with your company!"

"Alright!"

Ye Bufan was also very pleased. Originally, he had only intended to use a slight trick to teach this arrogant and domineering big star a lesson.

Unexpectedly, events unfolded beyond his expectations. By a strange twist of fate, he managed to sign a superstar for his company without spending a single penny on transfer fees.

Although Shang Tiantian's character wasn't great before, her fame and reputation in the entertainment industry were genuine, and she certainly had talent.

If it had been three days ago, trying to poach someone from Pinshang Entertainment Company would have cost an astronomical sum in transfer fees alone.

Now, everything was saved. Pinshang Entertainment broke its own contract, allowing him to directly gain a huge advantage.

Yesterday, Gao Xiaogong was still showing off to him how high-class Shang Tiantian was and how influential she was in the entertainment industry.

If he knew that he had recruited the Queen of Pop to his company without spending a single cent, he wondered what kind of marvelous expression he would make. Just thinking about it made him look forward to it.

The cooperation between Brothers Investment Company and the Tian Family was progressing very smoothly. After a day of negotiations, Lu Banxia and Tian Ruyi finally signed the cooperation contract.

The two parties agreed to jointly establish a Brothers Film Company, with the Tian Family holding 40% of the shares and Brothers Investment Company holding 60%.

The next morning, as soon as Ye Bufan arrived at the medical clinic, he received a call from Lu Banxia.

"Xiaofan, tomorrow night at eight, our company is holding a reception to announce the establishment of Brothers Film Company to the entire upper class and entertainment industry of Jiangnan City. As the chairman, you absolutely must attend."

Ye Bufan had always disliked attending such events. He said, "Just have Da Qiang attend; I won't go."

"Absolutely not," Lu Banxia said, "Today is the first day of the company's establishment, and the general manager is also in place. You, as the chairman, must sign the authorization letter.

Da Qiang is only the vice chairman; he doesn't have that qualification."

Ye Bufan said helplessly, "Alright then, I'll go after work."

He hung up the phone and began to diagnose patients.

After a busy day, as evening approached, most of the patients had been seen, and the medical clinic was preparing to close.

Just then, a woman wearing a veil walked in.

"Excuse me, can you remove scars here?"

Cao Rui stepped forward and said, "Of course. May I see your situation?"

The woman nodded, then gently removed the veil from her face.

Upon seeing the woman's face, Cao Rui was instantly startled. He saw that the entire left side of her face, extending down to her neck, was covered in scars.

Moreover, these didn't look like knife wounds; they resembled those left by a wild beast's bite, very irregular and incredibly grotesque.

The woman saw his expression and asked worriedly, "Doctor, can it be treated?"

"Miss, your scars are too severe; I cannot treat them. Please let my master see them."

Cao Rui finished speaking and led the woman to Ye Bufan's examination table.

Ye Bufan had just finished writing a prescription and looked up at the woman.

Their eyes met, and then both showed surprised expressions, exclaiming together, "It's you?!"
