I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

After saying that, Qin Yunchu nodded and said, "So, it's not that JX's classical music hasn't made a splash; it's very likely that his influence hasn't spread to the country yet?"

Cui Dayou nodded and said, "Yes. If his works were born in Vienna, it might have taken a long time for domestic audiences to know about them. Without media coverage, the general public would hardly know about these things."

He smiled and said, "I've listened to some of JX's works, such as 'Bohemian Rhapsody,' which is arranged like an opera. There are also other pieces of music with a strong classical feel. I believe he has that kind of cultivation. Even if his works are just average, they are definitely not bad works."

After listening, Yan Yunzhu remained silent.

Yingzi, who was next to her, looked down at her phone and said without looking up:

"Yun Zhuo wasn't laughing at his classical music for not being popular; she was laughing at how much he was bragging and how his marketing was too obvious."

Qin Yun Chu turned her head, trying to calm herself down: "Where is there any marketing element?"

"Come on, we're all in this industry, let's be frank," Yingzi grinned and said disdainfully, "Nobody doesn't put on a facade, everyone does it, it's just that JX went a bit overboard, while Yun Zhuo just happened to be more real and showed it."

Qin Yunchu said, "You mean to say that JX's status in the Western music scene is so great, and that's also a form of packaging?"

“This is packaging, and it’s packaging with reason and evidence,” Yingzi suddenly said seriously. “How many people in the Chinese music scene can be called great? Teacher Cui is one, who else is there?”

Qin Yun Chu blushed and couldn't speak.

She couldn't be as shameless as Yingzi when she spoke.

Yingzi shrugged and said, "How many bands does JX manage? Are they all great bands? In my opinion, they're all just marketing ploys."

Qin Yunchu turned to Cui Dayou and asked, "Teacher Cui, what do you think?"

Cui Dayou pushed up his glasses and said, "Everyone has a different worldview, so I won't comment."

Yingzi curled her lips into a cold smile.

On her phone screen, a chat log was still displayed.

The names of the people in the chat logs are just three simple characters:

Secretary Gao.

Yingzi: [Is JX actually popular in China?]

Secretary Gao: [It could become a hit, or it could not.]

Secretary Gao: [Whether he becomes popular or not depends on whether we promote him or not.]

Secretary Gao: [The several songs that were imported earlier and credited to him haven't been promoted yet because of review issues.]

Secretary Gao: [He originally had a chance, but he shouldn't have mentioned the Lu family in the video.]

"He shouldn't have mentioned the Lu family in the video."

For those unfamiliar with Secretary Gao, this sentence might be taken as a common expression of regret.

It's the same as what people usually say: "He shouldn't have been drinking" or "He shouldn't have gone out without his keys."

But Secretary Gao is different.

Secretary Gao rarely uses the word "shouldn't".

If someone says that someone "shouldn't" do something, and coincidentally, that person has already done it, then it means...

That person will pay an extremely heavy price.

At this moment, the chat in the live stream was once again in an uproar:

"Teacher Yingzi is so outspoken! The Chinese music scene desperately needs people like her who dare to speak the truth! [Thumbs up]"

"I really don't see what's so good about JX's songs. He used to write a few nice ones for Jiang Xinhai, but none of them are good when he goes abroad. It's a complete regression."

"Exactly, I'm here to listen to music, not to watch you show off. What are you bragging about? Instead of wasting your time, you should think about writing some songs that fans will love to listen to."

"Nobody around me listens to JX's later music. Is something great if nobody listens to it? That's just rubbish."

What does CJB mean?

"The preceding 'CJB' stands for shockwave."

"CJB = blow, send, bar, understand?"

……

Just then, Qin Yunshang suddenly walked to the middle of the crowd with her hands behind her back, coughed lightly twice, and said, "Listen to me, everyone. I've been thinking about something. I'm thinking that we're being led by the nose by JX."

"What's wrong?" He Ling asked her.

“Look, he always throws out a video, but he doesn’t explain anything clearly. He just slaps his writings in our faces and leaves us guessing. We’re being led by the nose!”

He Ling stared wide-eyed, puzzled, and asked, "So what do you mean?"

“I just had an idea,” Qin Yunshang’s eyes darted around, “We now have a ready-made clue. As long as we follow this clue, we can completely figure out JX’s background!”

What she said was so profound that those around her didn't understand what she was thinking.

Qin Yun Chu asked, "Stop keeping me in suspense, what have you thought of?"

“Look, don’t we already have a contact person?” Qin Yunshang clapped her hands and said, “Doesn’t Langlang know JX?”

Everyone was stunned. "That's right!"

Why didn't I think of that just now?

The people they had previously spoken to on the phone were strangers to them; they were all from Western countries, didn't speak the same language, and didn't have each other's contact information.

But Langlang is different; he's Chinese!

Most importantly, Xu Xiangxiao and he are quite familiar with each other! They've even done a show together!

Langlang not only knows JX, but also participated in his music creation in Vienna. If you just ask him, wouldn't the whole truth be revealed?

He Ling said with delight, "Xiao Yun, you're a genius!"

Qin Yunshang happily accepted the praise, and then everyone's attention turned to Xu Xiangxiao.

Xu Xiangxiao had just calmed down when she heard everyone say that, and immediately took out her phone.

She also wanted to know what was going on with Tianya, and even more so, she wanted him to be "exonerated" as soon as possible.

Just then, the photographer suddenly put down his camera and gestured for them to pause.

Everyone looked over there with some confusion.

The cameraman suddenly stopped filming during the live broadcast, which is not a good sign.

Someone went over and asked a couple of questions, and after a while, the message came back:

"The director said there was an emergency, so everyone should take a break and we'll resume filming once it's resolved."

At that moment, the viewers in the live broadcast room were watching the live stream when suddenly the screen went completely black.

A line of text appears in the center of the screen:

"Due to a technical malfunction, the live stream is currently undergoing adjustments. We apologize for the inconvenience."

Many viewers punched the table hard.

"Depend on!"

People who couldn't watch "Poetic Life" flocked to Weibo, frantically searching for what had happened and what went wrong with the live stream.

The rumors spread more and more wildly. Some people said that JX's matter involved state secrets and could not be exposed, while others said that the "Poetic Life" program had offended someone.

Amidst the various opinions, some people noticed that the phrase "Lu family" could no longer be pronounced.

Not only will it be blocked if posted in the live stream, but it will also be blocked in chat groups if a sentence contains the words "Lu family".

This discovery has broadened the horizons of netizens, with many flocking to forums to share their observations.

But soon, their posts all disappeared without a trace.

To prevent being swallowed up, they created some euphemisms for the "Lu family," such as "earth family" and "ear-striking family," which soon became forbidden words as well.

This sparked heated discussions for a while, but like other trending topics, it was quickly forgotten by the internet.

Of course, this is something.

Upon learning that the show would be temporarily canceled, everyone left the private collection dejectedly.

Chen Xi led them to his home at the foot of the mountain. Since there was no filming taking place, everyone sat down casually in twos and threes, waiting for filming to resume.

As a result, they waited for two hours.

The director first mentioned an unexpected situation, then a copyright dispute, and later said that the company behind the scenes was coordinating some matters.

In short, the story kept changing, and in the end, no one knew whether the show could continue filming.

Because it was uncertain when filming would resume, the group couldn't contact Langlang.

So, apart from Yingzi and Yan Yunzhuo, everyone else was itching to get their hands on the product.

……

Everyone sat in the room for a while. After a while, Chen Xi was called out. A little while later, someone came in and called Xu Xiangxiao.

"Me?" Xu Xiangxiao pointed to her nose, not understanding why the company would specifically mention her name during the coordination.

I haven't been in the music scene for so long, could it be that I'm involved in some kind of conflict of interest?

She left the house in a daze, followed the staff for a while, and was then taken to another house.

This place has been converted into an office, and a man in a suit is sitting behind a desk waiting for him.

"Please sit down." Seeing Xu Xiangxiao arrive, the man tapped the table with his finger to urge her to sit down.

Xu Xiangxiao quickly realized that this person's identity was definitely not simple.

The man slowly took off his sunglasses and glanced at Xu Xiangxiao through the lenses.

His eyes were cold and expressionless. He was handsome, but people didn't want to get close to him.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm an employee of Aihua Company," the person on the other end said. "My surname is Gao, and you can call me Secretary Gao."

"Secretary Gao?"

Xu Xiangxiao felt that she seemed to have heard this title before.

Although she didn't know exactly what the other person did, she had a gut feeling that the other person was someone important.

“I’m here to negotiate with the owner of the private music archive,” Secretary Gao said. “We believe this place has great cultural development value, so we want to reach a cooperation agreement with the owner of the archive.”

Xu Xiangxiao shrugged and said, "I'm not the owner of this private collection. JX is the owner."

Secretary Gao remained expressionless and said, "JX has already indicated that he will give this place to you as a gift."

“It was just a verbal agreement; I didn’t sign any agreement, nor do I have any property ownership certificates or similar documents,” Xu Xiangxiao said.

She is very cautious.

“In fact, this building never had a property certificate,” Secretary Gao said. “The property certificate is still stuck with the relevant departments in the town and has not been issued yet. The building was just built first. Strictly speaking, it is still an illegal building. It would not be unreasonable to demolish it.”

"What?!" Xu Xiangxiao exclaimed.

Demolishing a private music archive?!

This was the most outrageous thing she had heard all day.

Secretary Gao handed over a white paper with a blank expression: "Let's take a look at the details of the cooperation first."

Xu Xiangxiao lowered her head and opened the white paper to read it.

After carefully studying it word by word, she slowly raised her head and said with a strange expression:

"Isn't this practically selling it to you?"

Secretary Gao placed his hands on the table and said, "There are discrepancies in the details. To be precise, ownership can be transferred after the lease term reaches a certain number of years."

Xu Xiangxiao inexplicably felt a surge of anger rising in her stomach: "Don't think I don't understand anything. It's clearly written in the terms that the lease cannot be terminated without force majeure. You have a million ways to reach the lease term."

Secretary Gao said, "This is a difference of opinion on the details of the cooperation agreement. We can discuss the specifics with the lawyer later."

Xu Xiangxiao shook her head vigorously and threw the white paper back: "I disagree!"

She rarely gets angry.

The reason I'm so angry today isn't just because these guys actually had designs on the private music archive and came over so quickly, trying to take it over.

This wasn't what angered her the most.

What angered her the most was that the price they offered when they wanted this place was extremely low compared to its value!

She wanted to grab them by the ear and ask, "In your eyes, is this supposedly magnificent concert hall really worth so little money?!"
