At that moment, Universe Century Music received a call from Lu Ningsheng. As soon as she spoke, she requested to terminate her contract.
This shocked her agent, who immediately transferred the call to the chairman.
âMy contract has expired, and termination is a normal procedure,â Lu Ningsheng said firmly. âSince Iâve already agreed to take the blame for MO Yufei, I plan to retire from the industry. The company was intending to terminate my contract anyway, right?â Hearing this, the chairman fell silent.
Indeed.
In terms of talent and creative ability, MO Yufei was no match for Lu Ningsheng.
However, after two years, Lu Ningshengâs vocal cords showed no signs of recovery.
The company had tried its best, but fate had other plans.
Just as the company was focusing all its resources on cultivating MO Yufei, she was caught by the paparazzi.
After weighing their options, they had no choice but to give up on Lu Ningsheng.
âNingsheng, you donât need to terminate the contract,â the chairman persuaded. âYouâve been scandal-free for many years, and even if there is one, the netizens will forget it in a few days. Though you canât sing due to your vocal cords, you can still participate in variety shows. Why do this?â
Ten years, from an unknown to a top star, took more than just talent. Lu Ningsheng had the necessary determination.
She also had a significant fan base. Even if Lu Ningsheng appeared on variety shows as a mentor, she could still earn a substantial amount for the company.
The chairman didnât want to let her go.
âNo,â Lu Ningsheng simply said. âI want to terminate the contract. I need the termination papers before you hold the press conference, or I wonât clarify anything.â
âAlright then,â sighed the chairman. âNingsheng, once you terminate the contract, youâll have no connection with the stage. Donât you regret it?â
Lu Ningsheng sneered inwardly but maintained a smile on her face: âI have no choice. My vocal cords are damaged, and I was bound to reach this point eventually.â
âFine,â the chairman didnât press further. âIâll have someone send the termination contract right away.â
âMy lawyer is already at the company. You can give it to him,â Lu Ningsheng replied indifferently.
The call was coldly ended.
The chairmanâs expression darkened: âIf she wants to terminate the contract, sheâs no longer part of Universe Century Music. Let the PR department handle it as per the protocol.â
HIS assistant noaaea, âYes.â
Since Lu Ningsheng was leaving, of course they planned to exploit all remaining benefits from her.
The press conference to clarify the situation was held as scheduled.
Concerning two top stars and a popular young idol, the reportersâ microphones almost pressed against the mouth of the PR manager of Universe Century Music.
âItâs like this, the person photographed was not Teacher MO but Teacher Lu,â said the PR manager calmly. âWe didnât expect such an incident to occur. Please stop speculating, as itâs a personal matter that doesnât need further digging.â
But the reporters were relentless, pressing for answers: âIs Teacher Luâs relationship with He Yu genuinely personal? Why did He Yu claim he was coerced?â
At the same time as the press conference, He Yu posted on Weibo.
[@HeYuV: There are many things I donât want to do, but have to do [bitter smile]]
His fans were shocked:
[?? Does this mean Lu Ningsheng bullied the junior?]
[If thatâs the case, itâs disgusting. Lu Ningsheng has been in the industry for ten years, He Yu only a few. If she coerced him, he surely couldnât resist.]
[Do you believe Lu Ningsheng hasnât dated in ten years? I donât. I think sheâs quite messy in private.]
Even Lu Ningshengâs agency clarified that it was indeed Lu Ningsheng who entered He Yuâs room that night. Combined with He Yuâs Weibo post, public opinion was overwhelmingly against her.
The singing queen maliciously oppressing a newcomer, Lu Ningshengs popularity soared, landing her at the top of the trending searches.
He Yu perfectly played the victim. As he was about to call MO Yufei to share the good news, a new trending search appeared.

Below it was a Weibo post, fresh from just three seconds ago.
