Jane turned to look at April’s fangirl expression, feeling a bit surprised. She gently patted April’s arm, trying to get the young girl to snap out of it.
However, April just blinked her eyes and continued staring at Marco with an incredulous expression.
Marco looked at Jane in confusion and saw a hint of helplessness in her eyes. He decided to take matters into his own hands and leaned forward slightly, bringing himself closer to April. He tilted his head and said, “Hello?”
This sudden proximity caught April off guard. She didn’t expect Marco to be so close all of a sudden and blushed bright red as a result. She quickly stepped back but ended up bumping into some equipment behind her which caused her stumble.
Jane was about to reach out and steady her when Marco beat her to it by grabbing hold of April’s wrist and pulling her back towards him.
“Are you okay?” he asked as he let go of her wrist before walking over towards his own equipment.
April realized what had just happened and felt embarrassed by the whole situation. She bowed repeatedly towards Marco saying, “I’m so sorry! I really am!”
But then she heard Marco muttering under his breath while fiddling with his own equipment, “Such a shame… how could nothing happen?”
“Huh?” April was confused by what he meant but before she could ask for clarification she turned towards Jane for help instead.
However, Marco turned around nonchalantly while running his hand through his messy hair saying, “If it breaks down then I’ll have an excuse to replace it.”
April blinked her eyes, feeling that there was a slight difference between the Marco in front of her and the idol in her impression.
However, Marco seemed indifferent to April’s gaze and continued speaking to himself, “I’ve been eyeing a set of equipment and wanting to upgrade.”
With that, he turned his gaze towards Jane.
Sensing something, Jane raised an eyebrow, “If you want to upgrade, just do it.”
This response pleased Marco, and he stood up abruptly, flashing a brilliant smile at Jane. “But it’s expensive, Miss North. Don’t you plan on giving me an early year-end bonus?”
Jane chuckled lightly, completely unaffected by Marco’s sincere eyes. “Year-end bonus? Your salary gets deducted every month. Do you still expect a year-end bonus?”
Marco’s face turned bitter as he clutched his chest and said, “Miss North, I haven’t had a decent meal in a long time. Do you know why?”
Jane couldn’t be bothered to entertain him and waved her hand dismissively. “Enough with the complaints. I came to talk about business today. This is April.”
Upon hearing her name, April stood up straight, hesitantly addressing Marco, “Hello, I’m April. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Her face reddened, but she couldn’t hide her excitement.
Naturally, Marco’s gaze fell on April, and he slowly spoke, “If you want an autograph, bring your own pen.”
As he said that, he even earnestly extended his hand, posing as if waiting for April to hand over the pen and paper.
Seeing this, Jane frowned and immediately slapped his hand away. “She’s the new talent I want to sign.” Jane said seriously.
Although Jane said that, Marco still had that lazy demeanor. “What are you coming to me for if you want to sign a new talent?”
Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and turned his head. “You’re not asking me to mentor a new talent, are you?”
“I wouldn’t hinder the development of my own company’s talent department,” Jane replied.
Jane didn’t understand Marco yet. Seeing his lazy and laid-back appearance every day, she thought it was better to give him another excuse to be lazy than to have him mentor a new talent.
Just then, April nudged Jane’s arm, blinking her eyes anxiously. “Is he really Marco? The Marco who does music?”
April suddenly felt that it was unreal. Today, she not only met the CEO of Star Entertainment, but also Marco.
After all, being recognized by the CEO or meeting her idol were things April had always dreamed of.
Suddenly, April felt like buying a lottery ticket. Maybe she could fulfill her last dream.
Overnight riches.
But upon hearing this, Marco raised an eyebrow and pointed to his face, saying, “What? Do I have a very ordinary face?”
April quickly waved her hands and nervously shook her head, “No, that’s not what I meant. I just thought you looked different from the Marco I’ve seen online.”
Hearing this, Marco couldn’t help but chuckle, but he turned to Jane and asked, “If I’m not mentoring her, then why did you bring her here?”
“To help her record a song,” Jane replied.
Upon hearing this, Marco became lazy again and lounged back in his chair, “Boss, you don’t want me to produce an album for her, do you?”
Jane snapped her fingers and said, “Rare to see you being clever. I want you to listen to her song. If possible, I hope you can participate in producing April’s first album.”
As soon as she heard this, before Marco could react, April straightened up and exclaimed, “What! An album… releasing an album?”
Jane nodded naturally, “Yes, if you sign with my company, as an artist under the company, you will definitely release an album.”
“Is that really possible?” April’s eyes brightened.
“So, do you want to sign with my company?”
Jane smiled gently at April, “As long as you’re willing, I will definitely make you popular.”
“It’s rare to see you liking someone so much. Did this girl use connections to get in?” Marco interjected, his gaze shifting back and forth between April and Jane.
With Marco’s comment, April was taken aback. She finally realized the difference between Marco in person and the one she saw online.
One was an award-winning genius producer, while the other was a comedian. Could they be the same person?
“I’m not using connections…” April said in a small, aggrieved voice.
“That won’t do,” Marco touched his chin. “My boss doesn’t sign people easily, and it’s unheard of to bring you directly to me. How did you two meet?”
