Chapter 228: Inheriting the Lost Teachings for the Sages of the Past

Shencheng, the Pineapple Entertainment building.

Zheng Quan stood before Wang Shisong, stammering as he reported his suspicions.

Although Xinyu has yet to announce when the Aurora Girls' second song will be released, he assumes it should be next Monday.

Moreover, his intuition tells him that "Miss Chic" was merely a heads-up to the music industry, and the next song might be the real bombshell.

A bombshell that is very likely aimed at Chun Xiao!

Wang Shisong listened to Zheng Quan's words, frowning as he signaled the female secretary in a professional skirt and black suspender stockings to leave first.

He tapped his fingertips on the desk, his face filled with anger.

"Using a girl group to take on our Heavenly Queen?" Wang Shisong couldn't help but grit his teeth and say.

What arrogance!

Yet... Zheng Quan, this Music Director, is afraid.

Wang Shisong, this boss, is also feeling a bit panicked.

Domestic girl group development is mostly unsatisfactory; even Cilong's Breaking Wind Girls can at best only fight against second-line female singers.

But Luo Mo seems to possess a power that turns decay into magic.

Most importantly, this is a bad signal.

This young man, who was just crowned 【King of Love Songs】, has been quite free lately, as his TV dramas, anime, and variety shows are all still in the initial preparation stages.

He is taking advantage of his free time to settle scores with Pineapple.

Zheng Quan looked at Wang Shisong and said, "Boss Wang, the Aurora Girls only have one new song left to release. How about... we hold off for a bit?"

"You mean stand up the fans and let the industry laugh at us?" Wang Shisong glared at him.

They are naturally very clear about Chun Xiao's situation.

This so-called 【Heavenly Queen Gatekeeper】's status as a Heavenly Queen was forced through sheer promotion.

In reality, she doesn't possess much of an advantage compared to the top performers among first-line female singers.

This is a Heavenly Queen crown forged by the company through forced marketing and a shameless attitude.

This model is like how many celebrities used to crash red carpets, turning into "carpet stars"; despite having no works, they forced themselves into the image of a Superstar through various marketing tactics.

Chun Xiao is certainly better than that; after all, she at least has achievements that belong to any first-line singer. It's just that compared to the other few Heavenly Queens, she is a bit lacking.

If the company arranges for her to avoid the battle, then all the marketing and propping up over these years will have been in vain.

And she calls herself a Heavenly Queen? Since when has there ever been a Heavenly Queen scared off by a girl group?

Therefore, it can be said that Pineapple is in a dilemma.

They are completely being manipulated!

Luo Mo's style can't be called a calculated plot; he just doesn't fear anyone at Pineapple and hits whoever he catches.

Zheng Quan swallowed and continued, "I've been paying attention these past few days; the release schedules for other Xinyu singers are all proceeding as normal."

"What do you mean?" Wang Shisong asked.

"It means those songs not written by Luo Mo, where he only acts as the producer, are all being released as scheduled."

"But I heard he is 【interviewing】 people at the company every day," Zheng Quan said.

"Interviewing? Interviewing for what?" Boss Wang asked.

"Luo Mo meets with 3-5 Xinyu singers every day, regardless of their status or popularity, just to listen to them Singing and understand their musical style."

"And it seems Luo Mo Studio also has plans to hire people," Zheng Quan said.

You must know that among the songs in his medley "King of Love Songs," only the full version of "The One I Miss" has been released so far.

His posture is equivalent to telling everyone that he intends to write songs for others.

Those who have played "Honor of Kings" should know that the hero Zhong Kui has a playstyle called 【Intimidation Flow】.

It means he keeps swinging his hook in front of you, but it's hard to say when he'll actually throw it—scaring you to death!

Luo Mo is currently intimidating Pineapple.

His hook is practically swung right in front of Wang Shisong's face.

Bombs are laid out like 【open cards】; you play a card, and I'll bomb you.

I suggest you close up shop in the music scene this year.

Otherwise, I'll hit whoever I see.

This young man, who once sat alone in the corner of the card table, surrounded by several capital sharks who wanted nothing more than to swallow him whole, has begun to gradually control the game.

"Isn't your Pineapple mainly focused on film and television? You are the weakest of the four major companies in the music scene."

"I heard your development in the music scene has been average these years, and internally you are discussing whether to move resources and funds back to film and television."

"Don't struggle anymore, I'll make the decision for you."

"Your market share..."

"I'll take it!"

In this world, there are always those who are happy and those who are sad.

For example, Zhong Lin, the team leader of the Review Department, is in a pleasant mood right now, humming a tune as she arrives at the office.

Because He Yuanguang just contacted her, saying that the second season of "That Year Those Rabbits" has been completely finished and submitted for review.

Because Great-Uncle He Ping'an had instructed that all of Luo Mo's works be reviewed solely by her, Zhong Lin—this means I am the first among normal viewers to watch "That Year Those Rabbits"!

For those working in the Review Department, being able to see good works first is a happy thing, but there are too many pieces of trash seen on a daily basis, so it's good to wash one's eyes with quality goods.

Before opening the second season of "That Year Those Rabbits," Zhong Lin took out her bag and retrieved a pack of eye patches from inside.

She is afraid she will cry her eyes swollen again later; these eye patches are icy and cool, so she can use them to soothe her eyes later.

Of course, tissues had also long been prepared.

This series of preparations was her greatest show of respect for the second season of *That Rabbit*.

As mentioned before, the Children's Channel and the Review Department had previously communicated with Tongguang Studio, hoping that in this special year, the second season of *That Rabbit* would tell stories with a timeline preceding the first season.

Therefore, Luo Mo directly turned the fourth season from Earth into the second season of this space-time.

Since it was a Requirement put forward by the Children's Channel and the Review Department, they would certainly give *That Rabbit* the green light.

You can't just go around bossing people about and then not grant them any privileges, right?

So the Children's Channel had long since cleared the broadcast schedule.

As for Penguin Video, as long as Luo Mo delivered the goods, they would throw money at it to buy it immediately, and the price would even double!

After Zhong Lin took a deep breath, she clicked on the first episode.

After finishing the first episode, she couldn't help but open her mouth.

"If Great-uncle saw this second season, his feelings would definitely be even deeper than with the first season, right?" Zhong Lin couldn't help but sigh.

She watched episode after episode, and when she reached the fourth chapter, 【Stepping onto an Unknown Journey】, the tears she had been holding back finally burst forth in the final part.

Sometimes *That Rabbit* only starts throwing bricks into your eyes after the ending theme finishes playing, and this episode was exactly like that.

One could see a rabbit covered in wounds, hands bound, on the way to the execution ground.

He said to those who had come to see him off of their own accord: "Dear ones, when you are well-fed and warmly clothed, and when you raise the flag, if you see the flag flying high... flying very high."

"That means I have kept my promise and come to see you!"

After saying this, he turned his head abruptly and walked toward the execution ground with a carefree air: "I'm off!"

"See you in the Prosperous Age!"

Zhong Lin had already started to lose her composure when she heard the singing of the people seeing him off earlier.

Upon hearing that carefree "I'm off! See you in the Prosperous Age," her heart was struck in an instant.

"It's this trope again! It's this trope again!" Zhong Lin cursed the script Luo Mo wrote in her heart while wiping away her tears.

He always used short plots and concise words to precisely poke at the audience's tear ducts.

It was simply amazing!

Zhong Lin wiped her tears dry and then clicked on the fifth chapter.

Immediately after—she cried even harder.

"Sob-sob-sob, why are you stabbing me in the heart again!"

"An episode is only a few minutes long, and the two episodes of main content combined are only a little over ten minutes."

"Stabbing me twice in one go! Stabbing me twice in ten minutes! Sob-sob-sob!"

"Luo Mo! You have no heart! You have no heart!"

Zhong Lin felt that when she watched those melodramatic emotional dramas, she had never cried until she was out of breath like this.

But she also knew very clearly that this was merely restoring the reality of everything to you.

In fact, reality is even more cruel!

Zhong Lin pressed the pause button on the computer; she decided to apply eye patches first to let herself calm down.

At this moment, a knock on the office door sounded.

Zhong Lin, who was leaning back in her chair with her head tilted up applying eye patches, said, "Come in."

Her team member Xiao Wu walked in. As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw his team leader with her head tilted back, something translucent stuck over her eyes, sniffing from time to time, and the desk covered in balls of crumpled tissues, not knowing what she was doing.

"Ahem, Team Leader." Xiao Wu called out.

"What is it?" Zhong Lin asked.

"That... there's a new variety show project that perhaps the Team Leader needs to look at," Xiao Wu said.

"Variety show? Can't you guys just handle the gatekeeping yourselves?" Zhong Lin said with her head tilted back.

"But this is Luo Mo's variety show. Didn't the Team Leader say that anything related to Luo Mo in the future must be reviewed by you?" Xiao Wu said.

"Luo Mo? A new variety show?" Zhong Lin wondered, "Didn't he just finish *King of Love Songs*? Is he going to participate in another variety show?"

"That..." Xiao Wu looked at Zhong Lin and said, "Team Leader, it's that Luo Mo is making a new variety show."

"What?" Zhong Lin tore off the eye patches and sat back up, revealing her eyes swollen from crying, filled with surprise.

"Making a variety show? He's crossing over again?" Zhong Lin was a bit confused.

This Newcomer who had only debuted for a few months really knew how to stir things up!

"Send it to me." Zhong Lin scanned Xiao Wu with her bloodshot eyes.

"Uh..." Xiao Wu was slightly stunned, then nodded vigorously and said, "O-okay."

Zhong Lin soon received the project review document.

"*Classic China*?" She couldn't help but read it aloud.

"Hiss—this name... is a bit interesting!" Zhong Lin couldn't quite guess it.

Driven by curiosity, she quickly clicked on the project file.

While reading the 【Program Introduction】 column, the very first sentence inside shocked her.

"【Passing down the Classic of a thousand years, lighting the beacon of eternity.】"

(PS: Second update, begging for monthly tickets! Only five hundred away from the top five on the overall list!)
