Chapter 79 The First Show of Force
Life on the spaceship was pretty boring.

Occasionally, when I go out for a walk, I also encounter other composers and singers.

Aside from superficial pleasantries and polite greetings, they didn't engage in deep conversations, especially since they each came from three different companies.

As top-tier entertainment companies with their own stars, the three have always been competitors.

Therefore, there will certainly be no scene of them having a pleasant conversation.

But it seems that Jiang Qin was excluded by these three parties.

The three singers from Tianwen Entertainment are alright; after all, as singers, they generally wouldn't easily offend a composer.

Especially composers like Jiang Qin, who are widely loved by the public.

But the two veteran composers from Tianwen Entertainment are somewhat obvious.

From the moment he boarded the spaceship, he didn't even respond to Jiang Qin's greetings, completely ignoring her.

Jiang Qin wasn't the type to fawn over someone who wouldn't listen, so after greeting them once, she didn't speak to them again.

Anyone with eyes can see that they're fighting amongst themselves.

In contrast, Sihai and Xingchen treat newcomers better.

After all, one of the composers had been famous for two and a half years, and the other for two years.

The senior colleagues in their company treated them like juniors.

Ares and Anran also acted like juniors.

This further displeased Xini, one of the veteran composers at Tianwen Entertainment.

He snorted and said, "Some people don't have much ability, but they have a big temper. As a newcomer, it's better to be more humble."

Everyone knows who Sini is targeting, but no one dares to speak up.

The people from the other two companies, with a "let's see what happens" attitude, lingered in the area where people were strolling on the spaceship.

Xie An'an bit her lip, her eyes red with anger. She wanted to scold this person, but she was afraid of causing trouble for Jiang Qin.

Jiang Qin, who was being treated with Yin and Yang, didn't even glance at Xini. She calmly leaned against the glass, gazing absently at the space outside.

Her pale face looked listless and weak.

She wore a white dress today, and her figure was so thin that she looked like she might faint at any moment.

Some people couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

She mentally complained to Xini, "As a senior, and a male at that, it's really ungentlemanly of him to make things difficult for a young female."

How could anyone bear to bully such a weak female?

An Ran was one of those who couldn't bear it.

He himself had been through it all and knew very well how difficult those high-ranking seniors could be to deal with.

But he couldn't speak up for her.

However, my respect for these seniors is waning.

I originally thought it was just that the senior colleagues in their company were difficult to deal with, but it turns out that all senior colleagues are the same.

***
Seeing that Jiang Qin was ignoring him, Xini became even angrier.

But there was nothing he could do, so he could only snort coldly and turn away angrily.

Jiang Qin slightly lifted her eyelids; she knew that being a female beastman was indeed useful.

She doesn't act subserviently, so these people who rely on their age can't do anything to her; at most, they might make things difficult for her in some situations.

It doesn't matter; it's just the same path I walked in my first life.

What's there to be afraid of if we do it again?

For the next two days, rain or shine, Jiang Qin would take people out for a walk every morning and afternoon.

Ignore those scrutinizing gazes.

Sini, on the other hand, was not as at ease as her and never left her room after that day.

Finally, on the night of August 13th, they landed in the Immortal City of the Empire.

What comes into view is a bustling city shimmering with various colorful lights.

The high-rise buildings here are mostly over 100 stories high.

Most of the flying cars speeding through the sky were models that the Federation had never seen before.

There are many robots on the street, doing their jobs. The shops along the roadside are selling increasingly cool and trendy items.

There were also pedestrians.

There are some obvious differences in appearance between the Federation and the Empire.

For example, hair color!

Both are light blue, but the Federation's hair doesn't look like much under normal circumstances. However, compared to the Imperials' light blue hair, it's like comparing a low-end version to a high-end version.

The hair color of Federation people is darker, while the hair color of Imperial people is as if it has been illuminated, with better shine and higher purity.

Jiang Qin suddenly remembered Lan Yuyan's hair color.

His hair was shiny.

It's probably because orc genes are purer.

The team that led this trip to the Empire consisted of the deputy directors of the composition departments of the three companies, plus an assistant.

The deputy minister of Tianwen is surnamed Qi, and his assistant is Xiao Zheng.

Previously, while on the spaceship, it was Xiao Zheng who arranged those trivial matters, and this Vice Minister Qi never appeared.

Jiang Qin didn't even see him when she boarded the spaceship.

This is the first time I've met him.

He was younger than she had imagined, looking like a young man in his early twenties, though it was possible he just looked young and was actually much older.

After all, it's really difficult to judge the age of interstellar people by their appearance.

He had short, choppy, flaxen hair and a rather rugged appearance; he didn't seem to smile much.

To be honest, he doesn't look like the vice president of the composition department.

Jiang Qin felt that he was more like a federal soldier.

I heard he's also a rare S-class male.

It's outrageous that an entertainment company has two S-class males in its composition department alone. As expected of the main planet, it has a lot of talent.

When they disembarked from the spacecraft, two members of the production crew were there to meet them.

Hmm... they're two B-grade males, and they don't seem to have high positions. They're probably just errand runners for the production crew.
Anyway, their Minister Qi emanated a strong chill after seeing these two.

They were unwilling to exchange pleasantries with them and made Xiao Zheng handle all the negotiations.

The same thing happened with the other two companies; assistants approached to talk to them, but the deputy ministers didn't move an inch.

Xie Lili leaned closer to Jiang Qin and whispered, "This is a tradition for every season of the show."

The Empire always sends its underlings to pick up the Federation people, just to give us a hard time.

In one previous session, these errand runners deliberately arrived late, leaving our Federation team stranded at the ferry.

They didn't arrive until a full hour later.

When the three deputy ministers leading the team caused a scene, the production team simply dismissed them as a perfunctory gesture.

However, we later made it clear that if the Empire didn't have the manpower to host us, then they wouldn't need to send us an invitation next time.

Only after that did these people stop deliberately ignoring us.

However, the people who picked us up were still low-level thugs, while the program's director and assistant director only received people from other races.

I reckon they'll give us a hard time at tomorrow's banquet..."

Jiang Qin nodded knowingly.

So the old saying is true: a weak nation has no diplomacy.

When you're on someone else's turf, you can only swallow your anger.

And this lousy program is something we can't avoid participating in, because the Empire holds the lifeline of the Federation in its hands.

Because these competitions are also related to the pile of obsolete products that the Empire sells to the Federation.

If you don't participate, the Empire will cut off the trade directly.

This competition exists not only in the film, television, and music industries, but also in various other fields such as inventors, mecha warriors, and mechanics.

And all of them are live broadcasts, with the aim of letting the entire intergalactic world know about the strength of their empire in all walks of life.
