The basement had been moved to Jinxiu Garden, and Xu Qing was sitting on the sofa looking at her phone screen.

On the WeChat interface, the two tentative messages sent by Sister Hong were still displayed at the bottom.

"Teacher Mingyue, are you free lately?"

"Our company has a big project planned for next month, and we'd like to discuss it with you."

Xu Qing didn't even have the desire to type a reply.

Simply place the phone screen-down on the coffee table.

Luo Qianyu was cutting fruit in the kitchen, wearing fluffy pajamas.

The song "Quietly" that Xu Qing sang last night is still playing on repeat in her mind.

She brought out the sliced ​​apples and placed them on the coffee table.

"What are you looking at so intently?"

Xu Qing picked up a piece of apple and took a bite.

"Look at this idiot sending messages."

In the president's office of Star Emperor Entertainment's headquarters building.

Su Man, a top-tier actress who has just returned to China, is sitting on a genuine leather sofa.

She was wearing a haute couture suit and sunglasses.

Four assistants were standing next to him.

Wang Jianguo, president of Xinghuang Entertainment, personally poured her a cup of tea.

"Manman, you've had a tough three years studying abroad."

Su Man took off her sunglasses.

"Mr. Wang, you're too kind."

"I've looked at the company's resource allocation table for the next quarter."

"It's only fair that I get all the top-tier publicity and marketing."

"But I have requirements for the producer of the new single."

Wang Jianguo nodded with a smile.

"The company has already contacted Mingyue Qingfeng."

"I'll pay whatever price he asks for."

Su Man leaned back on the sofa.

"I just listened to the songs 'Encounter' and 'Take Me Away' in the car."

"The piece is indeed a masterpiece."

"But the singer was terrible."

Suman made no attempt to hide her disdain.

"Luo Qianyu's plain voice simply can't handle this level of arrangement."

"It's a complete waste of resources."

Hongjie, who was standing next to him, changed her expression when she heard this.

"Sister Suman, Luo Qianyu's current popularity is actually..."

Su Man interrupted Sister Hong directly.

"flow?"

"Faced with absolute strength, what is the point of all the traffic she generates through marketing?"

Su Man turned to look at Wang Jianguo.

"President Wang, since Mingyue Qingfeng can write dozens of songs for the company, then he is someone our company is supporting."

"Have him write me a tailor-made title track right away."

Sister Hong quickly explained.

"Sister Suman, Teacher Mingyue Qingfeng has not signed any agreement with the company."

"He only collaborated with us on a few singles in his personal capacity."

"He has a very eccentric temperament and may not accept requests from specific singers."

Su Man chuckled softly.

"Sister Hong, you've been in this industry for so long, how can you still be so naive?"

"Not signing the agreement?"

"That's because they didn't pay enough."

"He can write songs for that obscure, unknown Luo Qianyu, so how dare he refuse a top-tier diva like me?"

Su Man stood up and straightened her skirt.

"I personally asked him to write a song for me on Weibo."

"Let's see if he dares to disrespect me."

After half an hour.

Su Man's verified Weibo account has been updated with a new post.

"I'm back after three years of advanced studies."

"Thank you for the full support from Star Emperor Entertainment."

"For my next album, I hope to collaborate with Mr. Mingyue Qingfeng, one of the top songwriters in China."

"Top-notch songs require a soulful voice to carry them."

"Instead of bland, tasteless plain water."

Good resources should be used wisely, and we should not waste them.

This Weibo post was published.

The entire entertainment industry was instantly in an uproar.

The news of Su Man's return to China was already generating a lot of buzz.

Her Weibo post directly implied that Luo Qianyu had a flat, bland voice.

They even openly extended an olive branch to the bright moon and gentle breeze.

The top spot on the trending search list was instantly taken by #SuManInvitesSongBrightMoonAndGentleBreeze#.

The next thing that comes to mind is #SuManIsInnuendoLuoQianyuWasWastingGifts#.

The public relations team at Xingyao Chinese website is still holding a grudge against Mingyue Qingfeng because of Nanfeng's incident.

Seeing this surge in popularity, they immediately spent money to hire a large number of online trolls to stir up trouble.

"Suman is absolutely right!"

"I've wanted to say this for a long time: Luo Qianyu sang 'Take Me Away' without any emotion."

"It was entirely propelled up by the arrangement."

"That's the confidence of a true diva, directly confronting that resource-backed star."

Several music critics who specialize in writing scathing reviews to gain attention have also spoken out.

They all posted long articles on Weibo.

We've extracted and analyzed several of Luo Qianyu's live performance videos from the past six months.

"Luo Qianyu's voice is indeed pure, but that's all it is."

"This kind of voice is okay for singing pop songs."

"She had absolutely no control over the grand-scale arrangement of 'Bright Moon and Gentle Breeze'."

"The high notes are handled too thinly, lacking emotional depth."

"If Su Man were to sing it, she could definitely turn 'Take Me Away' into a Grammy-worthy masterpiece."

"Luo Qianyu's popularity is purely due to the precise poverty alleviation efforts of Mingyue Qingfeng."

The online sentiment is overwhelmingly one-sided.

Suman has an extremely large fan base.

They flooded Luo Qianyu's Weibo comment section.

The screen was filled with vile mockery and insults.

In the apartment in Jinxiu Garden.

Luo Qianyu sat on the sofa.

She held her phone in her hand, the screen displaying those vicious comments.

My fingers unconsciously swiped across the screen.

The more you look at her, the paler her face becomes.

Xu Qing just came out of the study.

He was holding an empty water glass.

I'm getting ready to go to the kitchen to get some water.

I saw Luo Qianyu sitting there in a daze.

He walked over and kicked the sofa.

What should we eat for lunch?

I'm hungry.

Luo Qianyu did not look up.

Her voice trembled slightly.

"Xu Qing."

"People online are right."

"I'm a piece of trash."

Xu Qing stopped in her tracks.

He walked up to Luo Qianyu and snatched the phone from her hand.

The screen displayed a popular comment with tens of thousands of likes.

"Luo Qianyu only makes a living by singing a few songs that Mingyue Qingfeng gave her. Without Mingyue Qingfeng, she's nothing."

Xu Qing tossed her phone onto the coffee table.

"Why are you looking at this garbage?"

Luo Qianyu raised her head.

Her eyes were already red.

Tears rolled in the eyes.

It could fall at any moment.

"They're right."

"Yesterday, during the recording of the show, the director felt that I wasn't a big enough star and changed my closing act."

"They cut all my footage too."

"Today, Su Man returned to China and directly called me 'plain water' on Weibo."

Luo Qianyu buried her face in her hands.

Her voice was tinged with suppressed sobs.

"When I sang 'Take Me Away,' I really couldn't hit the high notes."

"You had the sound engineer fix it for me track by track."

"I have absolutely no talent for being a singer."

"I've gotten to where I am today entirely because you've been feeding me resources."

"If it weren't for the songs you wrote for me, I'd still be a backup dancer in Star Emperor's basement."

Luo Qianyu became increasingly distraught as she spoke.

The self-doubt that had been building up inside me for the past six months finally erupted.

She felt she didn't deserve these honors.

She is not worthy of Xu Qing's kindness towards her.

Xu Qing stood next to the sofa.

He looked at Luo Qianyu, whose shoulders were trembling from crying.

He didn't go to get a tissue.

There were no sentimental words of comfort.

He simply walked over to the water dispenser.

I poured myself a glass of warm water.

I walked back and put it on the coffee table.

"Are you done crying?"

Luo Qianyu raised her head, her face covered in tears.

Looking at Xu Qing's perpetually indifferent expression, she felt even more distressed.

Am I really that useless?

Xu Qing looked down at her.

"You're pretty useless."

Luo Qianyu was stunned.

She didn't expect Xu Qing to actually go along with what she said.

Xu Qing sat down on the other side of the sofa.

"You're not using your brain and you can't think outside the box."

"Those idiots online don't know anything about music."

Xu Qing picked up an apple from the coffee table and took a bite.

"I wrote my own songs."

"Whoever's voice I say is suitable, is suitable."

"Who do they think they are to tell me how to do things?"

Luo Qianyu sniffed.

"But everyone says I can't handle songs with a grand scale."

Xu Qing sneered.

What is meant by a grand vision?

"Does yelling a few dolphin-like sounds really constitute a grand vision?"

"I remember seeing you eating sweet potatoes on the roadside in the dead of winter years ago."

"You have a broader perspective than all of them."

Luo Qianyu was taken aback by those words.

The tears stopped.

"Could you please stop mentioning eating sweet potatoes?"

Xu Qing threw the apple core in her hand into the trash can.

"You think I write songs for you because I have too much money to burn?"

"That's because only someone with your uncultured, plain voice can sing out the kind of clean, miserable sound I want."

Xu Qing picked up her phone from the table.

Unlock.

Open Weibo.

He switched to the popular "Bright Moon and Gentle Breeze" account with tens of millions of followers.

Luo Qianyu watched his movements, feeling somewhat nervous.

"What are you going to do?"

Xu Qing did not answer.

His fingers tapped rapidly on the screen.

I clicked directly into Su Man's arrogant Weibo post inviting me to write a song.

Click to forward.

Then a very short text was added.

"Just returned to the country and already claiming any owner?"

"I am not a dog raised by your Star Emperor."

"in addition."

Who do you think you are?

After typing the last four words.

Xu Qing clicked send directly.

The movements were swift and decisive.

Without the slightest hesitation.

Luo Qianyu's phone immediately rang with a notification tone indicating that she was being closely monitored.

She looked at the reposted post that popped up on the screen.

I was completely stunned.

"You're insane!"

Luo Qianyu jumped up from the sofa.

"You've completely severed ties with Su Man and Star Emperor Entertainment!"

"If Mr. Wang sees this, he'll definitely blacklist me!"

Xu Qing leaned back on the sofa.

An indifferent attitude.

"Ban it if you want."

"At worst, I'll support you."

"Anyway, I still have tens of millions in my account that I haven't donated yet."

Luo Qianyu's eyes widened.

She looked at Xu Qing's smug face.

The sense of collapse and self-doubt I felt miraculously disappeared by more than half.

In front of this man, all her affectation seemed utterly superfluous.

At this point, a massive uproar had already erupted online.

Xu Qing posted this defiant Weibo post using her main account.

It was like throwing a bomb into the latrine of the entertainment industry.

Those fans and music critics who were just mocking Luo Qianyu along with Su Man.

They all became mute.

The true form of Mingyue Qingfeng personally intervened to protect his own.

Moreover, the language used was extremely crude.

This is a direct slap in the face to Su Man.

"Just returned to the country and already claiming any owner?"

This sentence completely crushed Su Man's self-righteous sense of superiority.

Star Emperor Entertainment's public relations department was completely paralyzed.

Hongjie looked at the Weibo post on her phone screen.

She felt a sudden darkness before her eyes and almost fainted.

That's it, everything's over.

She not only failed to complete the task assigned to her by Wang Jianguo.

They completely offended this deity.

Su Man sat in the president's office.

She looked at her phone.

Her originally exquisite makeup became somewhat distorted due to anger.

She slammed her phone to the ground.

"How dare he insult me ​​like that!"

"Who does he think he is!"

Wang Jianguo's expression was also extremely unpleasant.

He didn't expect Mingyue Qingfeng to be so disrespectful to Xinghuang Entertainment.

"Mr. Wang!"

Su Man turned to look at Wang Jianguo.

"This matter absolutely cannot be left like this!"

"Does this songwriter hiding behind a screen really think he can control everything?"
