After Yang Zhiqin said this, she picked up her phone, wrote a post, and was about to release it when she saw that Li Zhuo had jumped out to comment on this matter.
Li Zhuo ✓: [By asking Teacher Yang this, you’re putting her out on the roast. How can she reply? If she says that it’s true, doesn’t that mean that she has fallen out with the company? Therefore, she can only say that she feels that this newbie’s song isn’t bad and thus wants to sing it.]
Yang Zhiqin looked at her assistant’s phone, at the Weibo post she was planning to release, and her lips twitched.
What Li Zhuo said was exactly the same as what she had written!
Thankfully, she hadn’t posted it yet. Otherwise, the netizens would definitely scold her for submitting to capitalism!
Right now, she was caught in a predicament.
Yang Zhiqin felt upset as she deleted the words she had carefully written and then frowned. “It seems that Li Zhuo was the one who had exposed this matter.”
The assistant nodded too. “Brother Li is too bad. Not only did he betray the company, but he’s even planning on pulling you down.”
The assistant had just said this when Li Zhuo released another Weibo post to tag onto the popularity of this matter.
Li Zhuo ✓: [Oh, right, I’ll take this opportunity to say this. Teacher Yang currently has a song that Yun Zhongjun specially composed for her, and she plans on releasing the single next month. Coincidentally, Teacher Jin Chi`en also has a new song release next month. With both songs coming out at the same time, I wonder whose will be better? Please look forward to it.]
He took the opportunity to release the prelude to Jin Chi`en’s new song, [Looking at the Moon and Thinking of One Far Away*].
It was only 20 seconds, but the melody was captivating and sounded very nice. It was clearly done in the style of Teacher Anonymous, having integrated multiple types of orchestral instruments.
Yang Zhiqin’s assistant: “!”
She stood up in fury and said, “Sister Yang, to think that the song Li Zhuo’s side gave you isn’t the best one! They kept a card up their sleeves! Thankfully, we didn’t jump over to their company. Otherwise, we’d always be suppressed by Jin Chi`en in the new company!”
Yang Zhiqin frowned. After listening to the prelude of Jin Chi`en’s new song, she listened to the song that Yun Zhongjun had specially made for her. At this moment, she instantly felt that her song sounded extremely ordinary.
She wasn’t really satisfied with this song from the beginning. If it wasn’t because she hadn’t released a new song for two years and had lowered her expectations, she wouldn’t have accepted it.
But now, she felt as disgusted as if she had eaten half a fly in the midst of a meal.
If she were to accept things as they were, she would surely be upset.
However, if she didn’t sing the song, she would have no new songs to release. She would feel even worse then.
Yang Zhiqin’s chest undulated. Due to her family’s protection, in addition to having signed a contract with the Yun Family’s entertainment company, she had never suffered like this before!
Hence, when Yang Zhiqin looked at the song she was holding, she became so angry that she threw it to the side.
Her assistant frowned. “Sister Yang, Lu Cheng has taken over Royal Ocean Entertainment anyway. Why not get him to find someone to write a song for you? This isn’t just a fight between you and Jin Chi`en, but also between Royal Ocean Entertainment and Li Zhuo’s company!”
Yang Zhiqin rubbed her temple. “Where can we find a song under such short notice?”
She took a deep breath. “Forget it, let’s take care of Shen Ruojing’s problem first…”
She had just said this when the doorbell rang.
Hence, the assistant walked over to the door and took a look. Realizing that it was a young and beautiful girl, she immediately gasped in surprise. “I think Shen Ruojing is here!”
The one at the door was indeed Shen Ruojing.
After she had left the Chu Manor and was planning to head back to the Shen Family’s residence, she received a call from Shen Qianhui, who asked her to head to the Yang Zhiqin’s residence immediately. They were going to discuss how they should modify the song.
Therefore, she made a turn midway and came here.
Yang Zhiqin was feeling vexed, so when she heard that Shen Ruojing had come, her expression darkened even further. Before Shen Ruojing could enter, she said unhappily, “Although the entertainment industry is controlled by capitalism, it’s still very easy to fail without true ability. Miss Shen, you…”
Yang Zhiqin didn’t finish her words. After she saw Shen Ruojing, she instantly choked on her words.
She looked at Shen Ruojing in surprise, sizing her up and feeling astonished. Jing Zhen was already considered a rare good-looking man in the entertainment circle, but she wasn’t expecting his daughter to be so good-looking as well!
Yang Zhiqin was someone who had a soft spot for good looks. When she saw beautiful-looking men or women, she would be in a great mood.
The rest of her sentence got stuck in her throat. After she made a cough, she pointed to the sofa and said, “Take a seat first.”
She then said to her assistant, “Bring her song over.”
“Alright.”
Shen Ruojing sat opposite Yang Zhiqin in a composed state and was about to say something when Chu Cichen’s call came in. Hence, Shen Ruojing frowned a little and said to Yang Zhiqin, “Hold on.”
She then stood up and walked over to the balcony, picking up the call.
Chu Cichen’s voice came from the other side of the line. “There’s no need to worry about the matter on the Internet.”
Shen Ruojing raised her brows, having a hint of amusement in her tone. “I’m not worried.”
Chu Cichen had learned to show concern for her.
Regardless of what the reason was, she still felt happy about it.
Chu Cichen fell silent for a moment and then continued, “You can be assured and go do whatever you feel like doing. The Chu Family will shield you.”
As if he was afraid that she’d think too much into things after saying this, he quickly added, “After all, you’re my children’s mother.”

As usual, this man was really someone who said one thing but meant the other. He always wanted to use his negligible capability to protect her although it might bring her trouble.
It was like how things were when they first met. He was clearly a weakling and even got injured when fighting a couple of hooligans. However, he still stood in front of her and later on, even asked her to think of a way to treat his injury.
And this time, if it wasn’t because he had Lu Cheng to interfere in the matter, there wouldn’t have been so much trouble.
However, she liked the way he made clumsy attempts to protect her.
Just like a little puppy, even though it was weak, it bared its fangs at her enemies.
Shen Ruojing smiled with a hint of indulgence, her peach blossom eyes squinting slightly. “Mn, don’t worry, Mr. Chu. I didn’t misunderstand.”
“…”
Chu Cichen had the feeling that he had been mocked by her, but at the thought of how Shen Ruojing had only written the song because of him, he fell silent for a moment and said, “Miss Shen, you’re actually very nice. It’s just that I have someone else I like, and it’s not worth it for you to be doing these things for me.”
Shen Ruojing: “??”
Her lips twitched. “I’m hanging up.”
As expected, she just showed a slightly better attitude toward him and he had a relapse again…
She sighed helplessly and returned to the room. It just so happened that the assistant had also brought the song she had written for Yang Zhiqin. After that, Yang Zhiqin took it and said, “Lu Cheng is bringing along well-known composers here, and they are on their way. The two of us can take a look at the song first to save some embarrassments in front of them later…”
As Yang Zhiqin said this, she looked at the song. When her gaze brushed by the song’s name again, she hesitated very long before saying, “It’s better to change the name. Otherwise, people will scold us, saying that we are simply paying tribute to Teacher Anonymous.”
After saying this, she looked at the song for the first time.
She had initially planned on taking a rough look before giving a few suggestions so that Shen Ruojing could be mentally prepared. This would avoid Shen Ruojing from being hurt by the composers later on.
What Yang Zhiqin didn’t expect was that after she saw the song, her back slowly straightened up…
She felt as excited as if she had encountered rain after a long drought…
