I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

Chapter 130 Asking me to slap someone in the face?

After reading the school's statement, Ye Xian shook his head, only wanting to say one thing: "Damn it."

Ding Zhan laughed and said, "The school has shown great sincerity. Their Director Dou contacted me and said that the school has resolved the issue of Teacher Liu and Liu Bohan's blacklisting of you."

In addition, Director Dou sent an invitation message, saying that the school regrets missing out on such a talented musician. However, while rules are impartial, people are compassionate, and the school sincerely invites you to participate in the graduation season concert jointly organized by the three major music academies of the Tang Dynasty (Beijing Conservatory of Music, Mohai Conservatory of Music, and Central South Conservatory of Music).

Ye Xian touched his nose and didn't say anything more. It was his own fault for being so disappointing, failing so many courses and skipping so many classes. He was in the wrong, so what was there to say?

If he had any grounds for argument, Ye Xian would definitely have to confront the school.

The problem is that I'm not in the right, and I can't get the school to retract its decision.

These are the rules!

If you make a mistake, you have to take the punishment and stand at attention!

Even if this hit was a bit too hard.

The problem is, deep down, there's always a sense of resentment!

"Should I attend this graduation season concert?"

Ding Zhan knew that this was not a big deal for an adult who had been beaten down by society, but a young person would inevitably feel angry, not to mention that it would become a stain on Ye Xian's acting career.

However, now was not the time to lash out. Ye Xian's worth was not enough to make the other party bow down, so he did not do anything more, but asked another question.

Why participate?

Ye Xian snorted, "You should know that the other party's invitation is not a real invitation, it's just a polite gesture! If it were a sincere invitation, it would be written in the statement, not made privately by that Director Dou!"

A performance by a group of outstanding graduates—what am I, a student who was expelled, supposed to do? Are they asking me to embarrass them? Is the school crazy?

They were also afraid that if I, being a young person, got angry and directly refused, then things would really fall apart.

Ding Zhan laughed and said, "I knew you wouldn't agree. The school had Director Dou invite you privately, just in case we both wanted to leave each other an out. If you refused, the outside world wouldn't know, and the school wouldn't lose face. Otherwise, if you publicly refused, you can forget about working in the Tang Dynasty music scene anymore."

Ye Xian shook his head and said, "I never intended to get involved in their entertainment industry; I just wanted to sell my goods well."

"Even if we're refusing, we need to be tactful. How about this, you tell Director Dou that I've been sick recently and I probably won't be able to make it to the performance on the 6th."

"Get ill?"

Ding Zhan smiled wryly and said, "Isn't that a far-fetched reason? Then you can't do a live stream for the next few days, otherwise it won't look good."

"Who says you can't do a live stream when you're sick? I sprained my ankle! My hemorrhoids flared up! Can't you just make up some excuse that won't prevent me from speaking?"

Ye Xian was exasperated: "You used to manage idols who had failed in their careers, and those idols would go to the hospital for a minor cut on their finger. Finding an excuse not to attend a concert shouldn't be that difficult!"

Ding Zhan said helplessly, "Alright then, I'll come up with the reason, and you'll play along. But there are some things we need to clarify."

"What is it? Tell me," Ye Xian asked, surprised.

"Can you completely let this go?"

Ding Zhan's intelligent eyes were fixed on Ye Xian.

Ye Xian fell silent; he knew very well what Ding Zhan was talking about.

For Ye Xian from Blue Star, being expelled from school was an extremely devastating blow and the final straw that led him to commit suicide. But for Ye Xian from another world, an adult, he had no one to blame but himself.

Therefore, Ye Xian did not follow the novel's narrative of "Don't underestimate a young man's potential, fortunes change every thirty years," publicly refuting the school's statement and refusing its invitation, only to be blacklisted by the school, and then retaliate, leading to a dramatic, lifelong war between them.

What is the size of the music academy ranked third in the Tang Dynasty? How many alumni does it have? How much power does it wield? It can easily crush me, a mere ant.

Ye Xian isn't that stupid.

Moreover, the school's intervention to lift the blacklist imposed on me by Teacher Liu and Liu Bohan already demonstrates a great deal of sincerity.

He didn't follow the habits of Ye Xian from another world, accepting the school's invitation to attend the concert without any bottom line and thus embarking on the peak of his stardom.

It was a good opportunity, but Ye Xian didn't care because he believed he could take a more stable path instead of relying on opportunities obtained in this way.

He chose a very gentle way to refuse, so that they would not see each other, so that the big boss would not see the little boss, so that the school would feel that they had not broken ties with them, and that they would leave each other a way out again.

Everyone lived in peace.

However, this mild approach was too moderate and abandoned the punishment of the culprit, which made Ding Zhan hesitate about whether to take further action.

"Liu Fengying and Liu Bohan!"

A flash of anger crossed Ye Xian's eyes. It was the resentment Ye Xian from Blue Star was the culprit for the smear campaign he had been launched against by Kanye West and his online trolls, and the source of all this trouble.

I originally wanted to quietly build an account, sell products, and earn some money to achieve financial freedom.

But these two people kept trying to scam him, and if Ye Xian said he had no temper, Ding Zhan would probably be the first to disagree.

If they had previously offended Ye Xian of Blue Star...

So now they've provoked Ye Xian from another world.

"Go check what those two have been up to lately, what songs Liu Bohan has coming out with. I'm going to target him in his area of ​​expertise!"

Ding Zhan smiled happily.

This is the kind of attitude a young person should have. If Ye Xian had remained as steady as a turtle, he would have been really frustrated.

Agents are born to stir things up.

If there's nothing to do, wouldn't that make me, this blind war god, seem incompetent?

……

"Bang!"

An ashtray was smashed to pieces.

This is probably the umpteenth ashtray to be smashed!

"Why? Why is he popular again? 400 million followers! He's almost catching up to me in follower count! And why is the Central South Conservatory of Music on his side? They even care if I ban a small blogger?"

This time, Liu Bohan felt like he was going mad!

It was such a tiny cockroach that you could easily crush with one finger, but who knew it was so incredibly resilient?

How long has it been?

40 days!

He has already forged a completely new path with ten songs!

In this era where it's increasingly difficult to release new songs, he completely dominated the charts!

Is there no justice left?

Back when I debuted, with my aunt's support and capital investment, I painstakingly spent more than five years building myself into a second-tier star.

He then had to fawn over others countless times before he finally achieved the status of a triple-threat star in film, television, and music.

Now, a young junior has completed the journey that took him five years to complete in just 40 days.

This was something Liu Bohan simply couldn't accept.

"I told you before, don't use off-the-books tactics. A small deal like 20 can be settled amicably!"

Hongjie reiterated her opinion, but seeing that Liu Bohan wouldn't listen, she had no choice but to change the subject: "The Central South Conservatory of Music invited Ye Xian and you to the graduation concert this year! You haven't released a new song in a long time, why don't you take this opportunity to choose one from their repertoire to participate?"

"Sharing the stage with Ye Xian?"

Liu Bohan's attention was not on choosing a song at all, but on the fact that he was going to be on the same stage as the guy he used to look down on.

Liu Bohan slammed his fist on the table: "Tell the Central South Conservatory of Music that I will absolutely not share the stage with Ye Xian!"
