Chapter 239 Playing her songs on loop

“I don’t know anything. I want to sign that boy, ” Judge Chen announced to his two colleagues. “He has a future in the industry. I’m ready to do anything to sign him to my agency.”

Yang Zi sighed as she looked at this stubborn man. She knew that he wouldn’t sit still until he signed the boy into his company. More than seventeen years ago, when she had gone to Judge Chen and asked him to sign her for his company. He had out rightly refused. She had to work extremely hard to be seen by this man.

Although he was rude, harsh and no-nonsense, he could shape any musician’s life. Apart from owning an entertainment company, he was a well-known music producer and composer. So, his reach and influence in the field were immeasurable.

“Brother Chen, ” Judge Liu said rather informally. “If the boy doesn’t want a future in this field, how could you force him? Wouldn’t it be like pouring resources on a seed that doesn’t even want to grow up? There are a number of artist talents in the company that need your attention.”

“At this age, what do children even know?” Judge Chen asked with a scoff. “What do we know at seventeen? I remember being a loafer believing that the world is my enemy. It’s a phase. We all go through it. If my Master hadn’t slapped senses in me then, would I be the country’s golden music composer and producer? No, I would not be. Not everyone is born with an innate talent to achieve something so great. If that boy is born with such talent, there is no way I’m giving up on her. I will do what it takes.”

Yang Zi pursed her lips. She couldn’t say anything to him now that he had made up his mind. If it was what he wanted, then so be it. It wasn’t like the boy was agreeing. She knew that it was very difficult to make a teenager agree to something if he or she had determined to say no.

“Call Yang Mei, ” Judge Chen told Yang Zi.

“Brother Chen, do not blame me when you can’t handle her, ” Yang Zi said with an eye roll.

“She is not the boss of me. Instead, I’m going to be her boss. She must show me some respect, “Judge Chen said like a grumpy old man.

Judge Liu and Yang Zi exchanged looks and shook their heads. The explosive here…

Yang Zi gave a call to Yang Mei but the latter refused to meet. She never minded the girl’s attitude toward Mr Chen because he deserved it for acting all high and mighty to the young girl. Who asked him to be a jerk to the girl? So what if he was in his late thirties? Children of today didn’t work like children of their time. They wanted to be respected and recognized for their work.

Yang Mei didn’t ask for anything just respect for her work and unfortunately, Mr Chen ended up offending the girl.

Outside, the students of Jingyuan High school were taking pictures with each other. After the win, they had to click several photos, right?

“Teacher Yang, can I tag you in these pictures?” An Xiulan asked. “I asked everyone if they had a problem with me posting these pictures. If you have, I won’t post the pictures where you are in it.”

Yang Mei thought for a moment. Her new album will be released soon. Last night, she had released the first single of the album and it had gotten like 500 thousand views until now. Since her music genre wasn’t mainstream, she didn’t have many followers. Just one million. She believed that she only needed one hit song to touch the hearts of the people. All the fans that she had, they always commented that they only heard her once and they could stop themselves from wanting more of her music.

Just one hit song and she knew that she would be able to support herself in this cutthroat industry.

If she allowed An Xiulan to tag herself, it would be good for her song. Should she agree to it or not?

“Can you show me the pictures?” Yang Mei asked An Xiulan who nodded. When she saw one picture where she was wearing a facemask and everyone else was smiling at the camera holding a trophy and big cash prize cheek, she said, “You can post this one and tag me with my official account.”

“Thank you, Teacher Yang, ” An Xiulan smiled at her. She posted the picture with the caption where she was thanking Yang Mei for her efforts in leading Jingyuan High to win. The mutual fans of Yang Mei and An Xiulan were thrilled, they began mentioning her in the comments and asking if they had heard Yang Mei’s new song.

An Xiulan surprisingly looked at Yang Mei and asked, “Teacher Yang, did you release a new song?”

Yang Mei smiled. “You hear my music?”

An Xiulan looked at Lu Xuan who was looking at all the places but at her. “Actually, everyone at our home likes your songs. From helpers to my parents, everyone can sing those songs word to word, given how someone plays those songs all day on a loop.”

“I am so happy to hear, “Yang Mei replied with a smile.

“Teacher Yang, would you mind if I make a Tik Tok of your song?” An Xiulan asked. “All I have to do is lip sync and dance to your song while you hold my phone.”

“Would you do it?” Yang Mei asked, surprised.

“Why not? Han Zixin says you are the best music teacher in the whole world. You motivated him to take up his lost passion again and we need to protect your passion too. If we can help you, we will, ” An Xiulan replied. “Now, let me hear the new song and think of something creative.”

When she played the song, An Xiulan began singing it along with the song.

“You know this too?” Yang Mei asked, shocked.

An Xiulan only smiled. Since last night, Lu Xuan had been playing this song on a loop like a sad lover who had lost his other half. His choice of music didn’t suit him but she could not say that the music was not good.
