Fan Longhe was waiting downstairs.

Suddenly, a car pulled up in front of the company’s building.

Two people got out of it.

On the left was Gu Dong, whom Fan Longhe recognized, and on the right was a tall, good-looking man with a somewhat aloof demeanor…

It would seem a bit of an understatement to call him a boy.

But referring to him as a young adult might also seem excessive.

What was certain, however, was that he was a young man you wouldn’t be able

to resist taking a second, third, or more glance at.

To Gu Dong’s surprise, Fan Longhe was personally there to greet them, she hurriedly introduced, “This is Teacher Admirable Fish.”

“Hello, Teacher Admirable Fish!”

Before Fan Longhe could step forward, a figure suddenly sprinted out from the

side, proactively greeting Xian Yu—

It was Luo Qi!

Fan Longhe stared in disbelief.

LUO Qi, with a bright smile and enthusiastic demeanor, extended her hand: “I am the head of the music department at Thunderbolt, welcome to our company for guidance!”

Lin Yuan exchanged a handshake with her.

Fan Longhe had already come to his senses. Gnashing his teeth in irritation, he hurriedly rushed over: “Hello, Teacher Admirable Fish, I am Fan Longhe, the head of the music department who invited you!”

“Deputy Head Fan…”

Luo Qi deliberately corrected him.

Fan Longhe gritted his teeth, but ignored her. She was playing as if she was the

one who invited Xian Yu!

Meanwhile, Fan Longhe couldn’t help but admire her nerve. Although she was defeated by Xian Yu, she could unabashedly show her goodwill towards him, even going so far as to beat him to the punch.

“Hello.”

Lin Yuan shared a handshake with Fan Longhe: “Can we start recording the

song?”

“Yes, sure!”

Both Fan Longhe and Luo Qi were vying to lead the way.

As they walked, each gave a glare to the other, engaging in a palpable competition.

“Manager Luo Qi, you can get back to your work if you’re busy. After ah,

Teacher Admirable Fish was invited by me.

“I’m fine, Deputy Fan can go ahead with his work.”

Luo Qi argued, “After all, Teacher Admirable Fish is here in person. As the primary person in charge of the music department, how could I not be the one to host him? Wouldn’t that be unseemly?”

Neither of them was willing to back down.

Thus, they led Lin Yuan and Gu Dong to the company’s recording studio.

All along the way, many employees saw this scene and wore astonished faces.

Gu Dong walked at the back, completely baffled.

She naturally didn’t know what was going on at Thunderbolt, but she could tell that Fan Longhe and Luo Qi were competing to host Mr. Lin…

What happened to them being a big company?

Why do both of them seem to have the same attitude towards Mr. Lin as our subsidiary companies?

Isn’t this supposed to be the formidable Qi Continent?

Who the hell is in charge?

Upon arriving at the recording studio.

Fan Longhe asked with a laugh, “Teacher Admirable Fish, do you have any specific singer in mind?”

Luo Qi added, “If not, I can bring you all the profiles of our company’s singers

for your perusal.”

Lin Yuan asked, “Tan Kai is one of your talents, isn’t he?”

Both Luo Qi and Fan Longhe were taken aback.

Gu Dong also stared at Lin Yuan in surprise.

Tan Kai is the male protagonist of “Distance Between You and Me.” No one expected that Xian Yu’s chosen singer would be him.

Reflecting on this, Fan Longhe said thoughtfully, “Tan Kai is indeed one of our talents, but he’s an actor, not a singer. Although he made his debut as a singer, his career didn’t pan out as planned, so he switched to acting. As it turned out, it appears acting suits him better.”

“This choice seems pretty good.”

Luo Qi murmured, “The lyrics of ‘Like You’ are sung from the male protagonist’s perspective. If the protagonist sings it himself, it could enhance the audience’s immersion.”

“Let’s go with him then.”

Lin Yuan had listened to Tan Kai’s songs when doing his research; although the songs were just average, he felt Tan Kai’s voice was quite fitting.

“But I am not sure if Tan Kai would be available…” Luo Qi hesitated.

Fan Longhe interjected, “Let me check.” He made a call and after two minutes, he nodded, “They’re fine with it.”

After some time, Tan Kai arrived.

Gu Dong, who appeared to be a fan of Tan Kai’s, concealed her excitement.

Tan Kai walked up to Lin Yuan: “Hello, I’m Tan Kai.

“Admirable Fish.”

Lin Yuan nodded: “Get yourself familiar with the song first.”

With a smile, Tan Kai replied, “Manager Fan sent me the demo earlier, I’ve pretty much learned it on the way here.”

Having initially debuted as a singer before transitioning to acting, Tan Kai was still quite competent in this field. He listened to the almost complete demo on a loop during his journey and could now sing it without needing to look at the lyrics.

“Then let’s start recording.”

Lin Yuan, without wasting any more words, walked straight into the recording studio.

Tan Kai gave a small laugh before heading into his recording booth.

Actually, he had a shoot scheduled for the day.

But when he heard that the theme song was to be re-recorded and he could potentially be the singer, he immediately listened to the demo.

After listening to the song once, Tan Kai immediately canceled his shoot for the day.

That was because, compared to acting, Tan Kai loved singing more!

Especially after hearing a song like ‘Like You,’ he was resolute in his decision to perform it!

Once inside the recording studio.

About half an hour later.

Tan Kai’s recording was starting to take shape.

Fan Longhe was surprised. He had not expected Tan Kai to sing so well.

Luo Qi was even more taken aback, immediately followed by amazement at Xian Yu’s keen intuition.

Out of all the singers in the company, he had surprisingly picked Tan Kai, who was no longer a singer!

Looking at the recording results, it was clear Tan Kai was a great match for the song. His mature voice lacked excessive technique but was not devoid of it. Paired with his talent as an actor to tap into and convey emotions…

The recording process went extremely smoothly!

Several hours later, towards the closing time at the company, the recording of ?Like You’ was officially completed – a smooth process that took everyone by surprise.

“Let’s call it a day.”

After the recording, satisfied with the results, Lin Yuan nodded and turned to leave.

Naturally, Luo Qi and Fan Longhe vied to walk him out.

But in a twist, Tan Kai also thanked Xian Yu and walked him out. “I wish your new drama much success. Could I also have your autograph, please?”

Once downstairs, after some hesitation, Gu Dong allowed herself to embrace her fangirl tendencies.

Tan Kai was easygoing and readily gave Gu Dong an autograph.

Gu Dong happily left the building.

Lin Yuan said, “Let’s go home.”

The staff members at the company had already left for the day.

“Alright, Mr. Lin!”

Gu Dong was really excited, not just because she got to meet her favorite actor today, but also because of Thunderbolt Entertainment’s attitude towards Lin Yuan!

Today, Lin Yuan challenged Gu Dong’s understanding of what it meant to be a subcontractor!

In her memory, Qi Continent, being the outsourcer, was always high and mighty, carelessly commanding the subcontractor.

But today.

Compared to being a subcontractor, Mr. Lin seemed more like the outsourcer! Upon stepping into Thunderbolt Entertainment, he promptly began commanding, making numerous demands and dominated the recording sessions. Thunderbolt seemed to merely follow orders –

Who knew a subcontractor could also play the boss?
