Chapter 2071
“Yes, this is a song I recorded 10 years ago . Although it wasn’t heavily promoted or very famous, I still love this album . This is why I always play it in my car . Sometimes I wonder how many of us lose our original purpose and dreams as we live our lives . In the end, we don’t even recognize ourselves anymore . I guess I’m one of those people…”

“Actually, when I debuted 20 years ago, I was only a stupid young kid . Back then, I just wanted to sing; being a recording artist was so out of my reach I didn’t even imagine it . Afterward, I applied to a recording studio as an assistant, pouring coffee, and helping out here and there . I started from the very bottom and learned a lot of things . Eventually, Ms . Mei, the music director at the time, saw my hard work and gave me a chance at an audition . I covered an old English song and impressed a couple of professionals . They then packaged me and I made my debut . During my prime, I was performing in the nation’s largest stadium 18 times a year, with every concert completely sold-out, tickets impossible to get… At the time, I was even the spokesperson for a large beverage company, with endorsement fees all in the sky-high eight figures…”

“After that…haha, I got too famous and it went to my head . Making money was too easy for me . I watched as the cash rolled into my bank account every day, completely numbed by it all . Afterward, all kinds of women who were after fame and fortune appeared around me…Finding success at a young age wasn’t really a good thing for me… I was too young and too immature . I went in headfirst for everything and kept a very high profile . Afterward, I got tired of singing, thinking it was too much work . My agent then started to book acting gigs for me and I began my acting career . Later on, I grew tired of that as well… I don’t have the energy to do those things anymore… Right now, I actually really just want to find someone to marry . ”
“What happened after? Did you find her?” Huo Mian looked at Jiang Ye’s profile curiously .

“Doctor Huo, are you joking? If I found her, would I be single in my 40s? Haha…”
“It’s not that no one wants you, it’s just that you haven’t found a woman who you’re willing to marry, that’s all,” Huo Mian replied .
Jiang Ye nodded . “That’s right . I’ve always thought that good women should be everywhere, but when I started to actually look for them, they’re as hard to find as pandas . I’ve been in this circle for too long and I know how dirty it is . There are no good women in the entertainment industry, only bitches . The difference is that some people are more honest about it, while others like Jian Tong hide it better… And me? I’m proud as can be and there’s no way I can spend a lifetime with a bitch . So, after many years of searching, I’m still single . ”
“You can look outside the circle . Maybe a makeup artist, or an assistant, or… even a producer or writer…” Huo Mian urged .
“Forget it . When you’re in this circle, you’ll learn that no one’s exactly… clean . Whether it’s the makeup artists, producers, or even the part-time assistants, they’ll slowly conform to this environment…and begin to stink . I just want to get out of this circle… I’ve even thought about completely quitting and moving back to the countryside to find a girl there . We’d work in the fiel
