Chapter 74: with translation of chapter title

Jiang Cheng left.

Hanlehui was stabbed again by Zhouzixin, couldn't bear it, could only retreat.

He found a deserted place, took out his phone, and sent Liuruyi some texts: "I heard you like Jiang Cheng; it can't be true, can it?"

Now he was so angry his hands trembled, he had no capacity to think, only wanting to find a little something somewhere to put his mind at ease!

He knew asking Liuruyi like this would seem abrupt, but under normal circumstances, girls would give a negative answer to such a question.

Whether true or false, what he wanted right now was Liuruyi's negative reply; it would only reassure him a bit, make him feel he'd regained a shred of face! But Liuruyi, the recipient of his message, frowned upon seeing it.

He only found this person incredibly annoying, but the other party was from the Student Union Arts Propaganda Department, holding many part-time opportunities in the Music Department.

At the same time she also knew Hanlehui had feelings for her, though she didn't like him; however, Hanlehui invited her to see a movie today, and for next week's performance, to secure more off-campus opportunities for the class, she agreed.

But upon seeing Hanlehui's message now, Liuruyi felt this person was really over the top.

I and Senior Jiang Cheng have nothing to do with each other, but if we talk about liking or not liking Senior Jia Cheng, he's tall, handsome, sunny, full of charm, sings well, long legs, good figure— which girl wouldn't like him?

So Liuruyi replied: "Many girls in our class like Senior Jiang Cheng; he's sunny and handsome, sings well, and is likable— what's the problem?"

Liuruyi didn't understand why Hanlehui asked that, but his answer had no loopholes; it wouldn't cause unnecessary trouble for Jiang Cheng or herself.

But when Hanlehui saw this reply, he almost spat blood! "Woman, I'll teach you how to behave; tonight you'll know the disgusting fate awaiting me!"

Hanlehui gritted his teeth, muttering to himself in a Sino‑Australian manner.

He's truly lost his mind!

……

Though Jiang Cheng's mood was much lighter after leaving, that Yujie who gave a thumbs‑up didn't respond, but she was playing a bold provocation.

At least he had never seen anyone at school make a thumbs‑up gesture toward Yujie.

If Yujie truly disliked it, she would have rebuked him outright then!

But Yujie pretended not to have seen it!

Jiang Cheng could understand, after all, teachers care about face! On his way back to the dorm he took out his phone and sent Yujie the following message:

"Yujie, may I make a small request?"

Su Manyao's reply came back quickly: 'No.'

Yujie only answered the latter half, 'You may not make a request.'

She directly ignored the preceding address.

In other words, Yujie has tacitly accepted Jiang Cheng addressing her that way.

That makes him feel good.

Many things need to be taken slowly, bit by bit accepted, gradually adapted to.

Too much at once is unbearable for anyone unaccustomed! Jiang Cheng also directly ignored Yujie's refusal, saying: 'When we watch the movie tonight, can the lead just keep wearing this outfit without changing?'

Yujie's side had no response.

Jiang Cheng wasn't in a hurry either; he put his phone away.

……

Jiang Cheng, in the afternoon, went to Yongligongyequ and signed all the contracts that needed signing.

The office space was leased for five years, and for the first three years he doesn't have to pay a cent in rent.

Then there was also a renovation contract, and a design team came to the site to discuss renovation with Jiang Cheng; likewise, the renovation upgrade only required signing off on the plan, no money needed.

This was what Su Bansheng had promised him back when he was around.

Thus, a studio with only a single certificate inexplicably became a key supported project of Yongligongyequ; aside from not stuffing money into his pocket, every benefit that could be given, and even those that couldn't, were given.

Of course, Jiang Cheng brought his sole employee, Chu Siqi, along.

The subsequent matters were left to Chu Siqi to coordinate; although the venue is finely finished, arranging soft furnishings— desks, chairs, curtains, and some doorhead decorations— will certainly take some time to get right.

……

Ye Qing, after obtaining Jiang Cheng's consent, publicly announced on the portal platform that she had joined 'Manchester City Studio'.

In fact, Ye Qing isn't even a minor celebrity; she has only a couple hundred followers, less than accounts that just post random suggestive selfies.

But her purpose in doing this was akin to submitting a pledge of loyalty to Jiang Cheng.

Acquaintances who knew the situation looked up Manchester City Studio's background and exclaimed, 'Has Ye Qing gone mad from a high fever?'

They thought she was utterly stupid! But Ye Qing herself knew this was the smartest decision she'd ever made! A singer's most direct goal is fame and money! Don't talk about dreams— if your voice and performance can't win people over and you can't earn a cent, what's the point of dreaming? Is dreaming just self‑amusement?

Manchester City Studio has no background whatsoever; it was just recently registered.

But it has the most essential thing: works!

Mr. Jiang's first work he presented directly pushed Zhang Anqi onto the hot charts.

Moreover, she has recorded that song herself; she's confident that if they released her recording, she could score tenfold! Then Mr. Jiang gave her the second song, Legend, which is practically tailor‑made for her!

She has also recorded it; she herself finds it mesmerizing! If this doesn't become a hit, it's against heaven's will! Although Manchester City Studio lacks background and channels, as long as the work is good and can win listeners, there are now too many platforms to publish on; even if channel issues limit earnings, they cannot make that much money.

But it would still be better than being suppressed in a big company where she could never rise!

On the road to success, there are still too many people who want to take advantage of her.

So Ye Qing thinks clearly: as long as Mr. Jiang is willing to give her works.

Even in a harsh, background‑less environment, a newcomer can carve out a bloody path! Therefore he issued such a pledge of loyalty.

Of people, not many.

But Zhang Anqi cares.

Because she discovered through inquiry that Ye Qing's joining of Manchester City Studio was backed by Jiang Cheng! This turned Zhang Anqi into a desktop‑cleaning ace, shoving everything on the office desk onto the floor.

"What's good about Ye Qing?"

"I've come right to your door— isn't that enough?!"

"After repeatedly humiliating me, do you really think I'm easy to bully?!"

The song was taken by me, then cooperation terminated; I'd rather not sell the copyright than let me sing!

I went to them voluntarily, they deliberately acted against me, and finally they still wanted to humiliate me!

Turns out they had long had their eyes on Ye Qing!

So what if you have talent? Watch me step on you to death!

Zhang Anqi flew into a rage in her own office, while the little assistant stood beside her, trembling.

Actually, Zhang Anqi's flying into such a rage also stems from her having confidence in her heart.

Because Kangwei, besides backing her from behind, today helped him find a powerful ally! Lin Muyang! Gold medal composer! (End of chapter)
