Chapter 115: Bound to be an overnight sensation!

~8 min read 1,440 words

Murong Xue was suddenly pushed away, a flash of unwillingness in her eyes.

If it were any other time, perhaps she would have chosen to accept her bad luck because she didn't want to get involved in disputes.

But today, because she had already made an appointment with Xu Tian to record, she didn't want to back down.

Seeing that Murong Xue refused to leave, the trainee's words became even more caustic: "Why haven't you rolled away yet? I've never seen someone as greedy as you. You've already climbed a high branch and latched onto a new agent's leg, yet you still come to fight us trainees for the recording studio. Do you have no shame?"

The trainee's voice was too loud, disturbing the tuning teacher in the recording studio. The teacher frowned, looked toward Murong Xue and the others, and roared with displeasure.

"This is a place for recording! If you don't want to record, get out, all of you! Don't waste everyone's time!"

The tuning teacher's intervention made the trainee even more triumphant.

"Hurry up and roll away, what are you dawdling for?"

Murong Xue had no choice but to pick up her canvas bag and turn around, preparing to walk out of the recording studio.

However, just as she turned, a figure blocked her path.

A young man walked into the recording studio with a leisurely gait, holding a folder. Seeing the people inside, he suddenly curled his lips into a smile. "So many people here!"

The trainee who had been giving Murong Xue a hard time saw Xu Tian walk in and shrank back a few steps, simultaneously seeking help from Jiang Mo beside her with her eyes.

No matter what, Xu Tian was the agent personally appointed by Guo Qishan. A trainee like her, who hadn't even signed an official agency contract, naturally didn't dare to act presumptuously.

Jiang Mo saw the culprit who had made her a laughingstock, and her willow-leaf eyebrows immediately stood up. She said with a straight face:

"Xu Jingji, keep your artist in check. Don't let her come out and make a fool of herself everywhere, otherwise, it will affect our company's overall image!"

Xu Tian raised an eyebrow. Even though he hadn't known Murong Xue for long, he knew her personality made it impossible for her to act like a shrew.

Jiang Mo had picked the fight herself, yet now she was shifting the blame, painting Murong Xue as someone who caused trouble and disrupted order—it was truly interesting.

"How I manage my artists is none of your concern. However, I am interested in blacklisting a few people right now. You guys guess, who will it be?"

Xu Tian's words made Jiang Mo furious. She retorted in a sharp, caustic tone:

"What a big mouth you have! Do you think you're the boss? You want to blacklist me? You're just getting carried away because you have a little power—don't think you're actually something!"

She was an artist under Du Xiaowei. If Brother Wei didn't speak, who would dare to blacklist her?

Facing Jiang Mo's provocation, Xu Tian just calmly picked up his phone, unlocked it, pressed a string of numbers, and put it to his ear.

"Hello, Guo Zong?"

Jiang Mo had originally been in an aggressive posture, but now, seeing Xu Tian call Guo Qishan directly, her face changed abruptly.

"It's nothing major, just that there's an artist here at Qingguo Music who is disobedient, and I want to blacklist her."

"I don't need to call to request it next time? I can blacklist her directly?"

Xu Tian's words caused the momentum Jiang Mo had been trying to maintain to vanish in an instant.

Her body trembled slightly, and her rosy little face turned iron-blue from fear.

The few trainees beside Jiang Mo who had mocked Murong Xue were even more terrified, lowering their heads and trying hard to minimize their presence, fearing they would be implicated.

"But this artist is under Manager Du. Can I blacklist her directly too?"

"Artists below third-tier are for me to handle? Alright, understood!"

Hearing the words that artists below third-tier were for Xu Tian to handle, Jiang Mo could no longer remain calm.

She hurriedly took a few steps to Xu Tian and bowed deeply.

"Xu Jingji, I know I was wrong. I spoke without thinking just now. Can you forgive me this once? I won't make this mistake again!"

Jiang Mo's face was pale, and she was shivering, completely devoid of the triumphant expression she had just had.

Xu Tian calling Guo Zong had made her completely sober, recognizing her own status.

Even if she was somewhat famous now, in the eyes of the company's top brass, she was just a small artist below third-tier.

During this time, Jiang Mo had been pampered by a group of little newcomers and had become somewhat carried away, almost forgetting that she didn't count as a big shot in a company full of traffic, and that her resources could easily be replaced by someone else.

Xu Tian watched Jiang Mo's humble apology with interest, and only after a moment did he speak leisurely: "Don't you know who you should be apologizing to? Do I need to teach you?"

Jiang Mo was slightly stunned, then realized what Xu Tian meant, biting her lip with a humiliated look.

However, no matter how unwilling she was in her heart, she ultimately turned to look at Murong Xue.

"Murong Xue, I was wrong. Can you forgive me?"

After she apologized to Murong Xue, she couldn't wait to look at Xu Tian: "Xu Jingji, I've already apologized to Murong Xue. Can you call Guo Zong and not blacklist me? I really won't dare to do it next time!"

Xu Tian glanced at Murong Xue and asked:

"Satisfied?"

Murong Xue had never seen such a scene and nodded repeatedly.

So Xu Tian turned the phone in his hand to show Jiang Mo; there was indeed a string of phone numbers on the screen, but he hadn't dialed it.

Jiang Mo stared blankly at Xu Tian's phone, stunned for a full five seconds before she realized, and then glared at Xu Tian with fury.

*Damn it! *

This kid actually dared to lie to her!

At this moment, Jiang Mo wished she could slap Xu Tian.

However, just as she was about to flare up, she heard Xu Tian say coldly:

"If there's a next time, this call won't be as simple as just not being dialed."

His meaning was very clear: if Jiang Mo dared to be rude to Murong Xue again, he would really call Guo Qishan to blacklist her.

Jiang Mo shuddered violently, her heart feeling as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Still not leaving?"

Xu Tian swept a sharp glance at her. "This recording studio was applied for by Murong Xue. Do you want to fight us for it?"

Facing Xu Tian's threat, Jiang Mo didn't dare to say a word, hurriedly pushed aside the trainees beside her, and left with a face full of resentment.

The other trainees, seeing Xu Tian's methods, were also trembling and quickly slipped away.

Even Jiang Mo didn't dare to challenge Xu Tian anymore; they, as un-debuted trainees, had even less qualification.

Murong Xue stared at Jiang Mo's back, her face overflowing with disbelief.

Jiang Mo had actually left just like that...

She stood in the center of the recording studio, feeling somewhat lost for a moment.

So this was the feeling of being protected...

She had never received it, and now she was suddenly a little afraid of losing it.

The tuning teacher had watched the whole process of Xu Tian teaching Jiang Mo a lesson and, worried about becoming collateral damage, hurriedly explained to Xu Tian:

"This recording studio was indeed booked by Murong Xue first, but Jiang Mo said just now that she had an appointment this afternoon that couldn't be pushed, so that's why I wanted to let her use it."

Xu Tian didn't hold him responsible, just found a seat at the door and sat down, beckoning to Murong Xue and handing her an A4 sheet of paper.

Murong Xue saw an old song printed on it: the signature song of Heavenly Queen Xiao Yiru, "Past Memories Follow the Wind."

"Can you sing this song?" Xu Tian didn't explain to Murong Xue why he wanted to record this song.

But as long as Murong Xue sang this song well, in the upcoming major event that would shake the entire entertainment industry, she was bound to be an overnight sensation! ===== CHAPTER 116 =====
