Breakup at the Start: A Song That Makes Him a Legend, and the School Beauty Pursues Him

"You keep saying this newcomer will definitely shock the Chinese music scene, hahaha, I'm really shocked!" Chen Kuang said angrily.

Lu Mengyao also became anxious: "Maybe he didn't warm up his voice today, or maybe he was nervous and didn't perform well. Should we give him another chance?"

That's not what she heard at the time. Where exactly did things go wrong?

Xunlei's face was ashen, probably because he was too ashamed to talk back after being scolded. He had already lowered his head in shame because of his poor performance.

Qin Shou felt particularly sorry for his brother, and he never expected Xunlei to fail him at such a crucial moment.

The system is issuing a task at this moment.

[Ding, mission issued—Get Chen Kuang to fawn over you. Completing the mission will reward you with 5% equity in Pinduoduo.]

Chen Kuang arrogantly addressed Xunlei: "Don't you have any self-awareness? You want to sign with our company? You want me to release a single for you? Dream on! Trash like you shouldn't be insulting music!"

Lu Mengyao was unhappy: "Teacher Chen, it's all my fault, don't blame him!" Even though Chen Kuang was her boss, she couldn't stand seeing him bully others.

"Get out of my way! I'll settle this score with you later!" Chen Kuang was furious. "You're wasting my time! Do you know how busy I am every day?!"

Chen Kuang's anger terrified the staff around him, who trembled with fear.

Everyone knows that Chen Kuang is notoriously bad-tempered, yet he holds a high position and no one dares to offend him.

"I'm sorry to have taken up your precious time. If you don't mind, I can sing you a song to make up for it." A magnetic voice rang out.

Everyone turned to look at the source of the sound and saw a handsome young man in white standing there with sharp, angular eyebrows and a powerful aura.

"Heh, you want to sing a song to torture my ears too?" Chen Kuang scoffed. "Do you know how much money I make in a minute? You couldn't earn that much even if you worked as a bricklayer your whole life! If he wasn't prepared, he shouldn't have gone on stage. The losses he caused me can't be compensated for by just one song! Don't overestimate your abilities; you only make me think you're ridiculous and foolish!"

"You can listen to it first and then decide whether it's worth it."

Chen Kuang rolled his eyes: "Are there still people this arrogant these days? They're all birds of a feather! Who has time to play house with you? Get back to where you were!"

Chen Kuang got up unhappily and subconsciously walked out.

He had only taken a few steps when the magnetic singing voice that rang out from behind pulled him back like a rope.

"It's been so long, what character are you? / You're dressed up so carefully / The cufflinks on your white shirt were a gift from you..."

Chen Kuang was immediately shocked.

He couldn't believe his ears.

Turning around, he found the boy who had angered him singing a heartfelt song.

Even without spotlights, the boy radiates light and warmth.

Lu Mengyao's red lips trembled in surprise. She realized that what was even more stunning than his youthful appearance was his singing voice.

The singing voice was exactly the same as the one her brother had played for her!

No, it sounds even more moving and beautiful when heard live!

This is an absolutely crushing singing style!

"I want to touch your hair/Just a simple touch/I want to give you a hug like before, is that okay?"

Chen Kuang felt a sudden, piercing pain in his heart, a pain akin to that of heartbreak.

He had met so many singers, but only this one could break his heart.

After Qin Shou finished playing his song, he looked at Chen Kuang and asked, "Are you still wasting your time?"

The tears welling up in Chen Kuang's eyes already gave the answer.

"Genius!" Chen Kuang even got excited. He saw Qin Shou clench his fists tightly as if he had found a treasure. "I know, you guys were just joking with me, right? Actually, you wanted to sign Qin Shou, right?"

Chen Kuang is not a fool.

Qin Shou is handsome, has a pleasing appearance, a distinctive style, and sings well.

He's absolutely a mentor-level figure! Someone like that debuting is guaranteed to line his pockets. Chen Kuang even had a strong idea: creating Qin Shou would be his most perfect and proudest masterpiece!

So Chen Kuang earnestly pleaded with Qin Shou: "Sign me! I'll absolutely promote you, write songs for you, create the best works, and make you an instant sensation across the country!"

The staff were incredibly envious.

Countless unknowns rose to fame quickly thanks to Chen Kuang's support, while already famous stars naturally reached new heights with his assistance. In essence, anyone favored by Chen Kuang was on the verge of stardom.

Becoming famous means gaining status, money, and living a life of luxury. This is the wish of countless celebrities in the industry, yet they couldn't persuade Chen Kuang to write songs for them no matter how hard they tried.

Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has fallen into the hands of someone outside the industry.

This is equivalent to finding a few coins, buying a lottery ticket, and winning 50 million—oh, more than 50 million!

Qin Shou was also somewhat surprised. He knew that Chen Kuang was an incredibly talented producer, but he didn't expect that the other party would be so infatuated with him and plan to write songs for him personally, since a single song by Chen Kuang is priceless.

Chen Kuang is lazy and rarely writes songs, so this is indeed good luck that has fallen on his head.

Lu Mengyao was genuinely happy for Qin Shou. A smile curved her red lips as she eagerly urged, "Say yes!"

Others were marveling at the fact that a big star was about to be born.

After all, Hong Ran's ability to create stars is outstanding, and with Chen Kuang's support, it would be difficult for her not to become popular.

How could I possibly disagree?

Unless you're a fool, who wouldn't be tempted by such a good deal?

"Producer Chen, you are very talented. You have written many excellent works and helped many newcomers become famous. You are a respected senior in the music industry. I am very grateful that you value me. It is my blessing."

Listen to this, even Qin Shou praised it like this, they're definitely going to sign it.

The staff were convinced that Qin Shou's signing of the contract was a done deal.

However, Lu Mengyao's eyelids twitched.

Oh no, isn't this just like being friend-zoned?!

"However, I am a student now and only want to focus on my studies. I cannot be distracted for the time being, so I can only decline your kind offer." Qin Shou smiled faintly.

Everyone in the room was stunned, doubting their own ears.

Young man, you're still too young! Is your brain not working properly?

Do you know who you rejected? It was the famous producer Chen! Singers in the industry are lining up to have him write songs, and even the Four Heavenly Kings are urging him to compose music and inviting him to morning tea every day.

As a result, Qin Shou refused outright?
