After seven years of being out of the spotlight, millions of fans are waiting for my return!

Daxia. City C. An apartment building.

Lin Mo looked down at the medical report in his hand, his heart heavy.

Today, he was diagnosed with late-stage throat cancer.

His vocal cords are now mostly eroded by the tumor, severely damaged, with bilateral nodules and polyps, and the tumor has even spread to other parts of his body.

The doctor advised him to have a total laryngectomy to save his life and to be admitted to the hospital as soon as possible to receive treatment.

In other words, his vocal cords may never recover.

For a singer, the vocal cords are life itself.

Losing one's voice is like a painter losing his eyes, or a dancer losing his legs.

Without treatment, his life will soon come to an end.

However, at the end of that summer seven years ago, he stood on the stage and made a promise to the fans below the stage.

"Seven years from now, I will be holding a concert. Please come and see my first concert."

Seven years have passed in the blink of an eye, and there are only half a month left until the day promised to the fans.

Eight years ago, he was transported here by accident.

No system, no cheat codes, no background.

There was only one debt: a huge medical debt left behind after the death of his parents.

That year, he was eighteen years old.

Helpless and penniless.

When he was desperate, he accidentally discovered that the entertainment here was very backward, and many songs from his previous life could easily surpass the music of this time and space.

In order to survive, he signed up for a talent show for new singers, which was jointly organized by Guangying Media's agency and several other companies.

At the time, the talent show had already run for two seasons, but it hadn't made any waves.

Even the day before the third season premiered, many sponsors withdrew their sponsorship of the show at the last minute.

Just when everyone was pessimistic about this season, and even Guangying Media was prepared for a flop, he appeared.

With her original song "Sunny Day," she made a splash that summer eight years ago.

He ultimately secured the championship with a landslide victory and was successfully signed by Guangying Media.

With his talent, he established himself as a powerful singer in just one year, becoming a part of many people's youth.

He was also known as a musical genius in the music scene of Daxia.

His songs were playing everywhere – in internet cafes, on the streets, and in shopping malls.

Every new song they release reaches number one on the new song charts.

Even the songs he wrote for other singers became their retirement songs; one song could sustain them for a lifetime.

However, as his fame grew and he released more songs, the company's profits also increased.

At the same time, the company's appetite is growing.

Not only did they constantly arrange various business activities for him, but they also made no plans for his future musical development. They only wanted to use him as a cash cow and make a fortune when he became popular.

They even set their sights on his music copyrights, hoping to use them to continue raking in the wallets of his fans.

He didn't want to see his fans become the company's prey, so he spent a lot of money to buy all the copyrights to his music, allowing his fans to listen to his songs for free.

Because of this, he had a complete falling out with the company's senior management.

However, at that time, he was the company's only cash cow, and his popularity was at its peak, bringing the company a lot of profits.

The company didn't want to fall out with him so quickly. After agreeing to Lin Mo's request, they turned their attention to training new people to replace him in the company. Then, they used the contractual restrictions to quickly sideline him.

This hiding lasted for a full seven years.

He has no commercial activities, no new songs or albums released, and he hasn't even had a chance to appear in public.

It was as if it had never existed.

This singer, once hailed as a musical genius, suddenly disappeared from the public eye.

He was even jokingly referred to by outsiders as having run out of ideas.

"Seven years have passed. How are you all doing now?"

Lin Mo looked up at the poster on the wall, his eyes filled with reminiscence.

"Let's ask the company for their reply first."

Lin Mo picked up his phone and dialed a number that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Since he was sidelined by the company, the company not only dismissed his assistant, but also deliberately cut off all contact with him.

The call was answered shortly after it was dialed.

"Mr. Yang, this is Lin Mo."

"Lin Mo?"

The person on the other end of the phone was clearly taken aback.

If Lin Mo hadn't called him, he would have almost forgotten about this person.

"Yes, that's me. I want to hold a concert. I mentioned this to my company a while ago. What's the company's decision?"

"Holding a concert?"

Yang Cheng on the other end of the phone sounded like he'd heard the biggest joke in the world.

Seven years ago, he was Lin Mo's agent. Because of copyright issues, he was blamed by the company's board of directors, which not only caused him to miss a good opportunity for promotion and a raise, but also almost got him fired.

In the end, he voluntarily offered to take a pay cut and have his bonus deducted, which allowed him to keep his current job.

Although the company subsequently sidelined Lin Mo, he has held onto this anger until now.

After receiving news from Lin Mo about holding a concert some time ago, he deliberately dragged his feet and didn't give her a result.

"Hold a concert? Are you still asleep? You, a washed-up singer, want to hold a concert?"

"You think you're still the same Lin Mo from seven years ago? Now you have no popularity, no works, and not even a single fan."

"The company is not a charity. You have no commercial value right now, so holding a concert will only result in losses."

"Are you planning to invite the cleaning lady and security guards to your concert?"

Yang Cheng vented all his past grievances in one go, his words full of sarcasm and suppression towards Lin Mo.

If Lin Mo had proposed holding a concert seven years ago, the company would have arranged it for him first.

However, the other party is no longer the Lin Mo of seven years ago. Now he is virtually unknown in the entertainment industry, not even as good as an obscure 18th-tier celebrity.

For an artist who has no commercial value to the company, let alone hold a concert, the company won't invest any resources in him.

It's a complete waste.

A glint of light flashed in Yang Cheng's eyes, his face radiating the satisfaction of revenge.

"Since you contacted me today, it saves you the trouble of coming to the company again."

"Your contract with the company expires today, and the company is not planning to renew it."

"From now on, you have nothing to do with the company. Just keep daydreaming!"

After saying that, Yang Cheng hung up the phone.

Lin Mo looked at the disconnected phone and took a deep breath.

"Is that all?"

Even without Guangying Media, he can still hold concerts!

Seven years ago, he used all his savings to buy the copyrights to his own music.

After that, the company refused to release songs for him for various reasons and did not provide him with any resources.

However, this did not stump him. Over the past seven years, he has written songs for other singers, held the copyrights, and earned a considerable amount of money.

Money is not a problem at all if I want to hold a concert.

On the contrary, he is more worried about the fans.

"Seven years have passed, they should have forgotten by now, right?"

A bitter smile appeared on Lin Mo's lips.

Seven years is a long time; so many things can change in that time.

Most of those fans from back then were students, and now they have all moved on with their lives, gone their separate ways, and no one remembers them anymore.

"Even if it's just security guards and cleaners, I'll still hold a concert."

Lin Mo looked at the medical report in his hand and gave another bitter smile.

After the concert, he will truly be bidding farewell to the music scene for good.

Moreover, his vocal cords are currently somewhat damaged. Although he can still sing, his condition cannot compare to his peak.

Just then, a strange mechanical voice suddenly rang in Lin Mo's mind.

[Ding! The system has detected a major life crisis for the host. Congratulations, host, you have successfully activated the Dominate the Entertainment Industry System.]

Lin Mo was taken aback, feeling uncertain and wondering if he was hallucinating.

The next second, a virtual system panel appeared in front of Lin Mo.

[Host: Lin Mo.]

Age: 26 years old.

[Current status: Late-stage laryngeal cancer (vocal cord damage: 75%).]
