Chapter 12

"Who is she? Is there anyone who sings better than you?"

"Of course!" Ji Ying said confidently and excitedly, pacing around the room a few times before continuing, "Qiao Qiao, do you know what a celestial voice is? Have you ever seen a fairy? Her singing voice is especially, especially beautiful. Compared to her, I'm like dog sh*t, no, worse than dog sh*t!"

Qiao Qiao: "..."

Ji Ying, you don't need to put yourself down like that. If you're dog sh*t, then what is she?

"I can't tell you who she is. She doesn't want to use her real name, but an artistic name instead. I'm going to find her now. I want to produce this song. I want everyone in the world to hear it."

Unable to control her excitement, Ji Ying got up to rush out, but Qiao Qiao stopped her.

She was afraid Ji Ying would go crazy like this.

"Ji Ying, Ji Ying, what you need most now is rest. Go take a shower and sleep for a bit."

"No, I can't. I need to go see her!"

Ji Ying seemed bewitched.

Fearing something might happen to her, Qiao Qiao kept persuading her, "Ji Ying, you're in no condition right now. Don't you want to produce a perfect song? In your current exhausted state of body and mind, how could you possibly succeed?"

"You're right. I need to rest. I need to be in top form to greet her."

After saying that, Ji Ying rushed back to bed, covered herself, and fell into a deep sleep a second later.

She was truly exhausted.

Seeing this, Qiao Qiao shook her head helplessly, went to the living room, picked up the scattered sheet music, and put it away.

Once done cleaning up, she sat on a chair, holding the sheet music, and started singing too.

Her voice was not as good as Ji Ying's, so it didn't sound as flavourful when she sang.

Qiao Qiao thought that with Ji Ying's great voice, if she had sung those songs herself, she would have been famous all over the country long ago.

Unfortunately, the songs Ji Ying had written in the past were all sung by Fan Yulin. She stayed behind the scenes, wholeheartedly supporting Fan Yulin. Even when his career reached its peak, she retreated into marriage and did the cooking for Fan Yulin.

Qiao Qiao thought Ji Ying was foolish, sacrificing half her life for a man.

That Fan Yulin was a scumbag, always talking about wanting children, but ended up having an illegitimate child outside, even blaming Ji Ying for not being able to have kids.

How could Ji Ying not have kids? It was because that scumbag had held her back.

Releasing this shabby song under the company's name and your name, promoting it properly—don't you have any shame? If you don't, the company does!"

"Manager, you've known me for so many years. Am I the kind of person who would joke around with the company's reputation? I don't want to praised myself, but I want you to listen for yourself."

After saying that, she sent the song 'Peace of Mind' to the manager and left.

Seeing Ji Ying so determined, the manager hesitated. Could this song actually be good?

He was about to press play when his phone suddenly rang.

It was Zhan Yiran calling.

Zhan Yiran was worried about obstacles at the company, so she called specifically to urge the general manager to cooperate with Ji Ying and release the song as soon as possible. She couldn't wait to see the fans' cheers.

After hanging up, the general manager's mouth twitched.

He must be crazy to actually believe Ji Ying's nonsense.

A clueless rich young lady like Zhan Yiran, who knew nothing about the hardships of common people, how could she sing a good song? As long as she didn't cause trouble, that would be good enough.

The general manager directly deleted the song Ji Ying had sent him without listening, to avoid hurting his ears.

This time, he would give Young Lady Zhan a favor, but there wouldn't be a next time. If Zhan Yiran wanted to act rashly again, he would go to Lord Zhan.

He didn't believe Lord Zhan would allow Zhan Yiran to repeatedly act recklessly and ruin the Zhan family's music company's reputation.

When they heard that Ji Ying's 'Peace of Mind' would be released on Thursday alongside Qiu Feiyue's new song 'Endless Love', everyone at the company thought Ji Ying had gone crazy.

Teacher Qiu Feiyue's new song 'Endless Love' was personally written and composed by him, taking three months to polish. He also found a popular idol to sing it. Just the preview alone had driven fans into a frenzy, clamoring to hear it.

Industry insiders all predicted 'Endless Love' would be a hit, becoming this week's number one on the pop music charts and dominating the charts for a long time.

For 'Peace of Mind' to be released at this time, wasn't it just inviting torture?

By then, one person would top the charts, while the other wouldn't even make it onto the list. The contrast would be too stark. If they were Ji Ying, they wouldn't even have the face to be part of the circle.

They might as well pack up and leave.

Qiu Feiyue also found out about this matter, but he didn't say a word, nor did he show any expression, acting as if it wasn't a big deal at all.

With his current status, he no longer regarded Ji Ying highly.

This joint release was good too, allowing him to completely defeat Ji Ying and cement his reputation as the best music producer.
