Chapter 65: Slap In the Face!!
Translator: Lordbluefire
Yang Zhiqin couldn’t avert her gaze from the song. Her expression when she was looking at the song didn’t seem right.
When her assistant noticed this, she quickly called out to Yang Zhiqin. “Sister Yang? Sis?”
However, Yang Zhiqin couldn’t hear what her assistant was saying. Her entire body and soul were immersed in the song. Each note seemed to be dancing in her mind, causing her to be unable to draw herself out from it.
The combination of the various orchestral instruments had a better flow compared to Yun Zhongjun’s song. And everything in this song seemed to be expressing the words ‘lone silence’!
“Sis? Sis?”
Yang Zhiqin only abruptly came to her senses when her shoulders were suddenly shaken by her assistant. She then looked at Shen Ruojing in disbelief.
The assistant felt that something was amiss with Yang Zhiqin. Could it be that Shen Ruojing’s song was too horrible?
The assistant was thinking like this when she saw Yang Zhiqin standing up suddenly and bowing deeply to Shen Ruojing. “I’m sorry. My opinion had been too assertive! Before I even saw your song, I ascertained that you’re young and thus unable to compose a good song…”
Shen Ruojing had long since gotten used to such things. “It’s fine.”
Yang Zhiqin gulped and said, “I’ll go record this song right away! You… please wait!”
After saying that, Yang Zhiqin dashed into the recording studio in her house and shouted to her assistant, “Bring in the demo!”
“A… alright!”
The assistant couldn’t figure out what was going on, but she still went after Yang Zhiqin with the flash drive. The assistant then saw that Yang Zhiqin was holding onto the song firmly yet carefully, as if she was afraid that it’d run away and she was also worried that the paper would be crushed…
Yang Zhiqin’s assistant had been with her for over ten years and had never seen Yang Zhiqin lose her cool like this.
During the time they were waiting for the demo to be copied into the computer, the assistant asked, “How is this song compared to the one Yun Zhongjun gave you?”
Yang Zhiqin looked at her and said, “There’s no comparison!”
She put the song close to her heart, and her eyes reddened as if she was holding onto a precious treasure. “If my guess is correct, this is Teacher Anonymous’s song!”
When the assistant heard this, her eyes contracted and she abruptly looked at Shen Ruojing, who was in the living room. “You’re saying that…”
Yang Zhiqin licked her lips and said, “I’ll listen to the demo first. Go and be a good host to the guest!”
“Yes.”
The assistant went out and served Shen Ruojin the best tea that Yang Zhiqin had. She then asked carefully, “… Teacher, is there anything else you’d like to eat?”
Shen Ruojing sat down comfortably on the sofa. “No need.”
Therefore…
When Lu Cheng brought along a few well-known composers to Yang Zhiqin’s place, he saw that Yang Zhiqin was working on the song in the recording studio, while Shen Ruojing was eating and drinking happily on the sofa.
Lu Cheng: “…”
His countenance looked bad. “Shen Ruojing, you…”
Lu Cheng suddenly thought of Chu Cichen’s warning, and the mockery and rebuke he was going to say got stuck in his throat.
However, Shen Ruojing turned and raised her brows, asking innocently, “What’s wrong with me?”
“…”
Lu Cheng took in a deep breath and tried hard to put on a smile. He changed into a polite attitude and said, “Miss Shen, these are well-known teachers in the area of music composing. Bro Chen said that if you want to work with music, you can learn from them.”
They were all top-notch artists in today’s era.
Anyone of them was considered an influential presence in the music industry, and it’d be difficult even for the Yun Family to gather them together. The Chu Family was the only one with the capability to achieve this.
Lu Cheng couldn’t help but complain in his heart.
Wasn’t Bro Chen showing Shen Ruojing too much indulgence on the account of the three children?
In the end, Lu Cheng still couldn’t help but say with a haughty tone, “It isn’t easy for these people to gather together. You’ll have to treasure this learning opportunity!
“If you learn from them for two to three years, maybe you’d be able to earn a position in the composing circle. Don’t let down Bro Chen’s expectations of you.”
Shen Ruojing swallowed the watermelon in her mouth, took a sip of tea, and then said calmly, “No need. I’m not planning on working with music.”
Was it not good to live an idle life?
Why would she want to find work for herself?
Lu Cheng: “??”
He was so angry that he felt like jumping. He then pointed to Shen Ruojing and said, “You aren’t planning on working with music? Then why did you write a song and insist on having Yang Zhiqin sing it? Do you know how much trouble your whim has brought us? To handle the public relations for you, the company has spent so much money! We’ve also put in a lot of effort with Teacher Yang! Do you know that?”
“Oh.” Shen Ruojing replied in a composed manner, “There’s no need to go to such trouble in the future.”
After saying that, she raised her brows. “Tell Chu Cichen that he doesn’t have to interfere to help me either.”
Lu Cheng: “!!”
He increasingly felt that this woman didn’t know what was good for her!
For whom did they go through so much trouble?
If it wasn’t because there were so many influential characters from the composing circle nearby, he’d give her a fierce scolding even if it meant that he had to be punished by Bro Chen.
As Lu Cheng said this, he looked toward Yang Zhiqin’s assistant. “Call Teacher Yang out. She still has to post on Weibo.”
The assistant looked from Shen Ruojing to Lu Cheng, not daring to say a word. She then went straight into the recording studio and informed Yang Zhiqin that Lu Cheng and the others had arrived.
Yang Zhiqin went out, feeling displeased. She chided Lu Cheng, “I’m recording seriously. Why did you call for me?”
Yang Zhiqin was the daughter of the Yang family. Although she was still unmarried in her forties, she was considered a famous person in the family, and even Lu Cheng had to show her some respect.
He coughed and said, “Teacher Yang, I’m sorry to disturb you, but we have to resolve the current crisis first… It’s like this. I’ve found a few composer experts to come over, and we want to discuss with you how to modify Shen Ruojing’s song.”
Yang Zhiqin immediately shouted, “Her song can’t be modified!”
Because it was already in its most perfect state!
She had listened to the demo in the recording studio just now, and every note was just right!
Lu Cheng was stunned. “Is it that bad? But I believe that Teacher Yang is very capable, right?”
Yang Zhiqin was famous in the circle for being proud and aloof.
She looked down on those who relied on their connections to climb up the ranks. When those people participated in television programs, they dared to say anything, but no one dared to interfere.
Lu Cheng knew that Yang Zhiqin was displeased by how Royal Ocean Entertainment forced her to sing Shen Ruojing’s song. Was she preparing to threaten the company now?
He was silent for a moment before saying, “I know that Teacher Yang likes Teacher Anonymous very much. How about this? If you help us this time, we promise to help you find Teacher Anonymous. If there is any news of him in the future, then no matter how much it costs, we’ll get Teacher Anonymous to specially create a song for you.”
Yang Zhijin: “…”
The corners of her mouth twitched and she suddenly handed the song in her hand to Lu Cheng. “Then do you know who wrote this song?”
