Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yue Yu picked up her phone and scrolled through the messages. She said, “Shi Jin didn’t write her own songs?”

Madam Yue wanted to help say a few words, but seeing her expression, she couldn’t. She said, “It wasn’t easy for you to be discharged from the hospital. Don’t worry about these messy things outside. Calm down first.”

“Do you think it’s true, Mom?” Yue Yu asked seriously.

“If you really ask me, I don’t think it is.”

Yue Yu’s expression darkened so Madam Yue said, “I’ll accompany you to your room to rest first.”

“Mom, why do you think anything bad that happens to Shi Jin isn’t true?”

“Because…” Madam Yue wanted to say that Shi Jin’s talent did not rely on Fu Xiuyuan, but she changed the topic. “Let’s not discuss this anymore.”

Yue Yu wrung her hands fiercely and did not continue.

***

Shi Jin’s new song launch was held a week before the concert.

This was also a small fan meeting. The tickets were given away for free by the fan club.

The scene was very orderly. Although there were a lot of people and a lot of reporters, they were not noisy. They maintained good order.

Only when Shi Jin appeared did the crowd burst into cheers. Shi Jin’s name gathered together and cheers sounded everywhere.

Shi Jin waved at everyone.

Everyone shouted even louder. The fans in the front row were so excited that tears welled up in their eyes.

The host smiled and said, “Today is Shi Jin’s new song launch. The two new songs that she’s about to release will also be sung at the concert. Let’s ask Shi Jin, are we charging for these two songs or are they free?”

Nowadays, mainstream music usually charged three yuan for a song. Many singers collected payment for their singles according to this rule.

Some of Shi Jin’s previous songs were free, but there were also ones they needed to pay for. This expenditure was actually not high, and the fans could afford it.

Shi Jin smiled and said, “Both of my songs will be given to you for free. You only need to log in to the software to download them. They will be released in an hour. I hope you like them.”

There was another round of excited cheering from the fans.

“No charge this time?”

“As I said, as long as the conditions allow, I want the fans to enjoy my music, not let it become a burden. This concert is going to cost everyone money, so the singles won’t be charged.”

The fans cheered again. Although three yuan was a small matter, Shi Jin’s willingness to think of everyone still made them feel that she had spoiled them.

At that moment, someone walked in and said loudly, “You’re not charging anything for the fans. It’s purely because you feel guilty, isn’t it?”

This was a live meeting and single press conference. The sudden appearance of an unexpected person still surprised everyone, but no one kicked him out.

“I’m Cai Yuning, a small-time singer. In the eyes of many people, I’m just a small-time internet celebrity who earns money by live-streaming and singing songs. I can’t compare to a popular singer like Shi Jin, but I still have something to say.”

The fans started talking. They didn’t know what he had to say.

However, seeing that he did not come with good intentions and knew that he must have ulterior motives, everyone could not help but say, “Please leave and don’t disturb Shi Jin here!”

Strangely, no security guards came to stop him.

Shi Jin said flatly, “There’s no need to send him out. If he has something to say, let him say it.”

Seeing Shi Jin’s determined expression, the host was not in a hurry to chase Cai Yuning away.

In front of everyone, Cai Yuning’s tone was filled with grief and indignation. “Shi Jin, you used my content in these two songs. You didn’t even mention my name and even wanted to use these songs as your things. What else do you have to explain?”

“Do you have any proof that the songs are yours?” Shi Jin asked.

He took out his phone. “I worked hard on these two songs. I was in the studio, discussing them with everyone. Both the melody and the lyrics are original to me.”

“Really? Why, then, did your song come to me?”

“Because you paid for my things! After I sold you both songs, you used them to continue to maintain your talented persona! And I, who have worked so hard to create them, don’t have the right to sing them. I can only watch as you take these things for yourself.”

Cai Yuning’s tone became even more indignant. “You only need to spend money to easily obtain what we have. You can build your persona outside, but we have nothing! I communicated with you and asked you to sign my name, but you ignored me. I really couldn’t help but let you take away my things for nothing, so I’m standing here asking you for justice! I believe that not only am I suffering from this, but so are many other creators! You definitely didn’t buy so many songs from me alone!”

The fans were also indignant. “What nonsense are you spouting? Do you have any evidence?”

“You must be crazy to want to be famous. All you know is to rub off of other’s popularity!”

“Exactly. I wonder who this person is! How did he get in!”

Meanwhile, things were already brewing in the outside world.

According to this person’s name, many people found his live-stream and saw that he was indeed composing some songs. Although it was not very good, he was indeed a singer-songwriter.

Besides, many people knew that songs also needed help and post-production arrangements. His songs didn’t sound like much, but maybe it was because they weren’t packaged properly.

Doubts about Shi Jin gradually rose.

“He seems to be right. Shi Jin’s creative speed does seem to be faster than ordinary people.”

“Moreover, Shi Jin’s style is very varied. There are all kinds of styles. If all of them were composed by her, she would be too talented. If she bought them from different people, it would make sense.”

“Shi Jin’s husband, Fu Xiuyuan, is so rich. It’s easy for him to create a talented persona for her.”

Yue Yu was also watching the live broadcast. As it was night time, Madam Yue was also sitting at the side.

Her expression was uncertain, and she frowned slightly. She wanted to say something, but hesitated a few times.

Yue Yu tilted her head and looked at her. “Mom, I wonder if it’s true? Shi Jin shouldn’t be like this, right?”

Madam Yue said, “Let’s wait and see.”

She was afraid that she would be too protective of Shi Jin and make Yue Yu unhappy again.

Yue Yu said, “I’m just afraid that someone is being unreasonable.”

At the scene, that person seemed even more indignant.
