Chapter 343 - Apologize to Mr. Fu
Rebirth from the Ashes
Su Muyan was waiting for Ma Chao in the car while watching the scene transpire. He waited until Ma Chao came in before he asked, âAnother one handing you a song?â
âMm. Xixi or whatever his name was,â Ma Chao said disdainfully, âWhy do these people presume they can succeed in our world? They should really look at themselves in the mirror.â
Su Muyan laughed. âIâd think itâs odd to not want to be successful. Who wouldnât wanna succeed in life?â
Ma Chao laughed and nodded. He turned around and saw the teenager squatting on the ground picking up those papers. He felt disgusted all of a sudden. âItâs fine wishing for success, but having no self-awareness is just sickening.â
The two quickly changed the subject and talked about the new album that they had prepared for two years. The album was already in its final stage of production and would be officially released next month.
âSecond Young Master, Chinaâs King of Music title is waiting for you. This time, with the quality of this album, I dare say no one will be able to reach such heights in the coming years.â Ma Chao was confident the songs would go viral all over China with everyone playing them everywhere.
âI hope so,â Su Muyan said and smiled modestly.
The Chinese song industry was aware of Su Muyanâs new album release date on the 18th of March. As such, no one dared to release a new song during the entire month.
Those with songs planned to be released in March had either postponed or brought forward their dates. They were smart enough to realize they could not compete with Su Muyan and did not want to be mocked for the poor sales performance when it was launched.
Shen Xi watched the car leave before she stood up and sneered mockingly. She then valiantly turned around and walked toward Tianheng Entertainment, looking for her next target, the Music Director of Tianheng Entertainment.
Su Mushi was beating himself up with regret for rejecting âThe Smiling Nationâ. Shen Xi thought about this and felt delighted. Su Muyan would taste the same defeat for rejecting her and missing out on such a good opportunity.
Tianheng Entertainmentâs building was huge.
Shen Xi followed an employee into the building and acted conspicuously the whole time. She would ask anyone she came across where the Music Directorâs office was. She would also introduce herself as a music producer, Xixi, who had come over to deliver a song to Su Muyan.
If Su Muyan sang her songs, he would surely be popular all over the country and even globally. Winning an award would be a sure deal too.
The companyâs employees looked at the way she was dressed and treated her like she was crazy. Not many paid attention to her. Not only did she look ugly, but she was also good at talking big.
Su Muyan was the future King of Music and the entertainment industryâs super idol.
Every day, Su Muyan would have his pick of excellent producers to compose countless hit songs for him. Even so, Su Muyan rejected them because he was a talented producer himself and could write his own songs.
This kid who looked like a starving refugee dared say his song could go viral all over China and the globe?
âThe Music Directorâs office is on the 28th floor.â A beautiful female employee directed her.
Shen Xi looked at the woman in front of her warily and timidly. She held the paper like Gollum holding onto the Ring. âT-Thank you.â
âNo problem. You should take the stairs. Iâm afraid the security guards will kick you out if you take the elevator.â The pretty female employee also kindly pointed it out to her.
The chubby female employee standing next to her swept a disdainful glance at Shen Xi and covered her mouth to snicker.
âT-Thank you, y-youâre a-a n-nice personâ¦â Shen Xi quickly thanked her and headed toward the stairwell.
Shen Xi had just gotten to the stairwell when she heard the disdainful jeers of the two female employees who had just shown her the way.
âYouâre so mean! That guy looks pitiful and mentally ill, yet you lied that the Music Directorâs Office is on the 28th floor so that heâll climb up? Do you think heâll actually climb all the way?â
âI was just making fun of him. If he really climbed all the way up, I canât help it either. I donât remember which floor the Directorâs Office is on!â
âDonât you think he looks like a monkey? Itâs hilarious the way he held onto those few pieces of paper like weâre gonna rob him!â
âThe way he stuttered was funny too!â
The two not only mocked her but even imitated the way she spoke. While they were walking and laughing, they tripped when they accidentally stepped on something by the stairway.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
While they were laughing smugly in their high heels, they suddenly landed heavily on the ground.
One of them hit her jaw on the floor, which was instantly dislocated. An immense pain surged, so much so that she could not even scream.
The other girl fell heavily on her knee, which made a crunching sound. It was followed by a harsh squeal.
Shen Xi stood at the corner of the second floor and tossed the two small beads in her hand with interest. When she saw the two women lying in the corridor, her murderous eyes had a hint of pleasure. She then proceeded to walk up the stairs.
Ten minutes later.
Shen Xi sat in the Music Directorâs chair as she sucked on a lollipop. She leisurely spun around and looked out the window from the 36th floor. This top-floor view was pretty amazing.
About half an hour later, footsteps approached the door.
Shen Xi threw away her lollipop and hid under the table.
A bewildered manâs voice laced with anger then came from overhead. âWho the hell are you? Why are you in my office?â
Shen Xi looked up and hit her head on the table due to excessive nervousness. She looked at him anxiously. âY-You⦠Youâre the music director, right? M-My name is Xixi.â
âSecurity!â The Music Director frowned and looked at the grimy-looking teenager in front of him with disgust. He was not even bothered to pull her out from under his desk for fear of getting his hands dirty.
âNo⦠Donât.â Shen Xi shook her head in fear and looked at him supplicatingly. She crawled out from under the desk and handed him the paper she was holding. âI wrote this song. P-Please⦠Please take a look at the song I wrote. Itâs a title song for Su Muyan and⦠It will surely b-be a hitâ¦â
The Music Director looked at the crumply stained paper and could only feel repulsed. He roared angrily, âWhereâs security?! Get this person out of here quickly!â
âWhat the hell are the security guards doing? Are the secretaries outside blind?! How did they miss such a disgusting rat coming into my office and causing trouble?â
The security guards quickly pushed through the door and dragged Shen Xi out.
Shen Xi did not want to leave and begged him with tears in her eyes. âLook! Just take a look! Please! M-my song is really good!â
The Music Director was furious and shouted at his secretary.
A pretty female secretary quickly came in and picked up the crumpled paper from the ground. She glanced and saw the title âGreen Silkâ, but looked no further. She then turned around and threw it in the bin.
She had been guarding outside the room but did not see anyone go in. She could not even recall when the intruder came in. The Director was quite terrifying when he lost his temper, so she was afraid that she would be fired.
Shen Xi was hauled out of the room. When she turned a corner, her head bumped into someone, and felt a cold air around her. When she lifted her eyes, she looked into the manâs deep and sharp eyes that were like a hawkâs. He looked so cold, it was smothering.
âMr. Fu, Iâm sorry! Iâm really sorry.â The President of Tianheng, who was standing next to the man, was so frightened that he quickly apologized and pointed at Shen Xi fiercely. âWhatâs wrong with you?! Quickly apologize to Mr. Fu!â
