Chapter 60: [Lone Silence]

Translator: Lordbluefire

Yang Zhiqin frowned and asked, “Whose song is this?”

Shen Qianhui hesitated a bit before she said, “This is a song written by my daughter.”

“Your daughter?” Li Zhuo directly laughed. “Oh, that’s true. Royal Ocean no longer has a proper songwriter, so they can’t even take out a few good songs. Is this why you decided to get your daughter to write one randomly to make up for the numbers?”

He took a glance at the song in Yang Zhiqin’s hands. After seeing the title, [Lone Silence], he immediately burst out laughing in an even happier manner. “You guys truly are ridiculous. To think that you actually used this name to stir excitement.”

Shen Qianhui didn’t understand, so she frowned and asked, “What’s wrong with the song title? Is there a problem?”

Li Zhuo continued, “There’s no problem. However, Teacher Anonymous said before he disappeared that the name of his next song would be “Lone Silence”. It was supposed to mean lonely, but the character used was the character for “silence” instead. He retired for some unknown reason before he wrote this song. It has been so many years, but in order to show respect to Teacher Anonymous, all the songwriters in the industry didn’t dare to use this title. Now, your daughter just started writing a song and immediately wanted to provoke Teacher Anonymous? She simply doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth!”

Shen Qianhui quickly said, “My daughter doesn’t have such intentions. This must be a coincidence.”

“Coincidence?” Li Zhuo laughed. “Everyone in the industry knows of this matter. How can she not know? Oh, right. She is a newbie, correct? So this is understandable.”

Yang Zhiqin didn’t look at the song’s content. She unhappily tossed the song to the side and looked at Jing Zhen. “Teacher Jing, I only agreed to meet you because of your past kindness to me. However, the quality of the song you guys gave me is simply too bad.”

When Yang Zhiqin first entered the industry, people kept trying to take advantage of her. It was Jing Zhen who solved her predicament.

If not, given Yang Zhiqin’s current position and status, she only needed to say a single sentence to dissolve her contract. Her assistant would naturally help her to run this errand, and there was no need for her to give Royal Ocean this chance.

Jing Zhen said, “Look at my daughter’s work. This song is really well written.”

Li Zhuo coldly laughed. “How good can a newbie be? Jing Zhen, if your daughter wants to enter the songwriting field, she can simply get Teacher Yang to recommend her. Why is there a need to get Teacher Yang to sing her song? Is she even worthy?”

He then looked at Yang Zhiqin. “Teacher Yang, you are an artist and will naturally prioritize good songs. Do you want to stay here and reminisce about old times and not move forward? You have also listened to the song written by Yun Zhongjun. I feel there’s nothing much to talk about. As for the penalty for breaking your contract, our company can pay that for you as a token of our sincerity…”

One side was Royal Entertainment that no one cared about, and the other side was the poaching company that took out the most satisfactory song she had seen in these two years. Yang Zhiqin hesitated. She then looked at Shen Qianhui and Jing Zhen. “My apologies.”

She continued, “Although I’ve decided to jump ship, I can help Royal Ocean Entertainment by taking a person there as my disciple.”

Yang Zhiqin’s status in the world of singing was unrivaled.

If a new artist from Royal Entertainment could take her on as a teacher, the newbie’s fame would surely shoot up.

Yang Zhiqin’s good attitude was considered very hard to come by.

Shen Qianhui understood her choice, so she fell silent after hearing Yang Zhiqin’s words. “Teacher Yang, there’s no need for you to take in our new artist as a disciple. Why don’t you really take a look at my daughter’s song and make some suggestions and encouragement? If you could…I would like to invite you to sing her song.”

There were many ways a new artist in Royal Ocean Entertainment could develop.

But now that Shen Ruojing was keen enough to write a song, Shen Qianhui wanted to help her daughter pave a path.

Although Yang Zhiqin felt disgusted that Shen Ruojing had chosen to use the title [Lone Silence], it was also true she owed Jing Zhen a huge favor. After pondering, she eventually agreed. “I can sing it for her, but I have a request. The song has to be modified until I am satisfied with it.”

“No problem.”

Shen Qianhui heaved a sigh of relief and no longer said anything else.

It was meaningless to struggle if one didn’t have strength.

Li Zhuo took the chance to pass a contract over. “Teacher Yang, let us sign the contract first?”

Yang Zhiqin nodded and took the contract from Li Zhuo’s hands, wanting to pass it to her assistant. When she looked at the contract, she once again glanced at the song she had tossed to the side.

Although Jing Zhen’s daughter was provoking Anonymous, since she had decided to agree because she wanted to give Jing Zhen some face, she could no longer act perfunctorily and repay the favor by taking in their new artist as a disciple.

Hence, she picked up Shen Ruojing’s song and was about to look at it.

But at this moment, her mobile phone rang. Yang Zhiqin glanced at it and discovered that it was her father calling her. Hence, she furrowed her brows and picked up the call. She immediately heard her father saying, “Zhiqin, do you know who is the new boss of Royal Ocean Entertainment?”

Yang Zhiqin frowned. “No.”

She was an honest-to-goodness singer and didn’t care about business at all.

Father Yang sighed. “It’s the little young master of the Chu Family…Lu Cheng from the Chu Family just greeted me. You must not jump ship!”

Yang Zhiqin: “…”

She frowned and was very unhappy. Just when she was about to speak, Father Yang guessed her thoughts so he directly interrupted, “Lu Cheng has taken over the position of the manager there. In addition, he has spent a high price to purchase the rights to the song Yun Zhongjun wrote for you. Now, if you sing that song, you have to know that it belongs to Royal Ocean Entertainment!”

Yang Zhiqin: “…”

As expected, only magic can defeat magic.

Yun Zhengze had spent a high price to poach the staff and famous artists from Royal Entertainment. Now, the Chu Family used an even higher price to poach those people back.

She exhaled in relief.

But this was also good. She didn’t need to abandon Jing Zhen.

She glanced at Li Zhuo. She saw him lowering his head to look at his phone, and his expression became unsightly. Clearly, he had also received the news.

Father Yang continued, “He also said to get you to sing a song written by Shen Ruojing.”

Shen Ruojing again.

Yang Zhiqin frowned and felt somewhat uncomfortable in her heart.

When she promised Jing Zhen, she treated it as returning a favor and helping the daughter of a friend. But because of Lu Cheng’s interference, this entire matter became one of using authority to suppress and control her.

However, she couldn’t reject it, so she unhappily replied, “I understand.”

After hanging up, she directly looked at Li Zhuo. “I’m not signing the contract anymore.”

Li Zhuo’s expression was akin to dead ashes. He angrily glared at Shen Qianhui and Jing Zhen. “Fine, you guys are indeed ruthless!”

After speaking, Li Zhuo left directly.

Shen Qianhui and Jing Zhen were both puzzled.

They looked at Yang Zhiqin. “So…Teacher Yang, you are not dissolving the contract anymore?”

“Correct.” Yang Zhiqin’s expression turned cold. “Director Shen and Teacher Jing, you guys can leave now.”

Shen Qianhui looked at Shen Ruojing’s song in her hand. “Then, this song…”

“Heh, since the Shen Family has such a powerful individual supporting it, how would I dare to say no? I will sing this song.”

Yang Zhiqin pointed to the door, “I won’t send you two out.”

She initially had only agreed to look at the song because she was touched by their love for their daughter, and she also needed to repay a favor. But now, she was being forced by authority. Her purity as an artist caused her heart to be filled with dissatisfaction.

After Shen Qianhui and Jing Zhen left, her assistant took the song Shen Ruojing had written and passed it to her. “Teacher Yang, this song…”

“Even if Shen Ruojing wanted to take a shortcut and become famous, it would have to depend on the quality of her song. The market isn’t a fool. If the written song isn’t nice, even if I was the one singing it, it would still not be nice!”

Yang Zhiqin had a look of indignance in her eyes as she looked at the song.
