Honkai Impact 3rd: Join Anti-Entropy at the start and dominate the entertainment industry.

But I just can't sing it!

"Old Bai, Old Bai?" Li Yang's voice pulled Bai Qianqu back to reality. Only then did Bai Qianqu realize that Lei Dian Long Ma had somehow appeared behind him and was watching Xi Lin's live stream together.

Bai Qianqu rolled her eyes. What's there to be afraid of during lunch break?

Li Yang frantically pointed to his watch, and Bai Qianqu then realized that lunch break had already passed.

Raiden Ryoma chuckled, revealing a meaningful expression: "Chiku, I didn't expect you to like watching this kind of video too."

A video? What video?

Bai Qianqu looked down and saw that Xilin's live stream had ended. The phone screen had now switched to a live stream of anime dance videos, the content of which was rather suggestive.

The atmosphere immediately became awkward.

Raiden Ryoma gave a half-smile: "Young man, you should be careful."

Bai Qianqu was about to explain, but Lei Dian Long Ma just left with a "men all understand" expression, without giving her a chance to explain.

Bai Qianqu's face twitched, and in the end, she could only sigh helplessly.

Li Yang gave a thumbs up: "Brother, you're awesome! Watching borderline videos in front of the minister, that's pretty cool."

Bai Qianqu rolled her eyes, ignored the gloating guy, and got up to go to Bronya's office.

Bronya, as the company's head agent, has her office on the twelfth floor. This floor has many offices, all belonging to various agents, and there are also many artists on this floor.

There were aspiring singers looking for their managers, and newcomers coming for auditions. In short, most of the people here were relatively unknown artists. The truly famous ones all had managers following them around.

Therefore, when Bai Qianqu arrived at this floor, although his handsome appearance attracted a lot of attention, most people just thought he was a small-time singer and didn't pay much attention to him.

Bai Qianqu looked at the crowds coming and going in the corridor and was somewhat surprised.

As expected of a top entertainment company on Earth, the sheer number of artists is terrifying. And don't be fooled by the fact that these artists are only at the bottom of the hierarchy in Anti-Entropy; the fact that they were even allowed into Anti-Entropy is enough to demonstrate their strength. Wendy was just a new singer when she first joined, wasn't she?

Bronya's office wasn't hard to find; it was the largest office in the middle of this floor. However, there was a long line of men and women at the door, and they all seemed a bit nervous.

They were all there for auditions, hoping to become singers under Bronya's management. After all, Bronya, as Anti-Entropy's chief manager, was quite powerful, and many famous singers, including some S-level singers, had already emerged from her ranks!

However, becoming an artist under Bronya's management is extremely difficult; most people simply cannot succeed.

Bronya conducts thorough background checks on every interviewee. In addition to having high talent, the interviewee must also have sufficient virtue. Otherwise, if someone is talented but lacks virtue, they will never amount to anything.

Seeing that Bronya was busy, Bai Qianqu sat down to wait and could also take out her phone to relax.

Chapter 15 Loving Sister Rosalin

As Bai Qianqu was happily watching a silly video, she heard what sounded like an argument coming from not far away.

Looking up, I saw an agent scolding one of his female artists.

"Rosalyn! I asked you to have dinner with the production team before, why didn't you go? Do you know how furious the director was last night? If I hadn't persuaded you, you would have lost your singing rights!"

The woman with long, golden hair had a hint of disgust on her stunningly beautiful face.

"I've already said I won't eat with that person. If he thinks I'm not suitable, then let's change him."

The manager was furious: "Rosalyn, you've gone too far! Who do you think you are? You're just a newcomer singer. If you don't build a good foundation, how do you expect to rise to the top?!"

Rosalyn was also a little angry. She turned around and replied, word by word, "If this is how you climb the ladder, I'd rather stay a small-time singer!"

After saying that, Rosalyn stopped talking and stormed off toward Bai Qianqu.

"You—!" The agent was furious and speechless.

Bai Qianqu stared at Rosalin, utterly astonished. He hadn't expected that the dignified "Lady" wouldn't be working at the Fool's Security Company, but instead as a singer in Anti-Entropy.

However, Rosalyn at this moment did not seem to have become a "lady." She resembled an innocent teenage girl, with a touch of childishness on her face. Seeing Bai Qianqu staring at her, she said somewhat irritably, "What? Haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman before?"

Bai Qianqu chuckled. It seemed that Rosalind would not become a "Lady" without experiencing the Calamity of Mondstadt; at this moment, she was just a struggling singer.

Seeing Bai Qianqu laugh, Rosalin frowned, not understanding what this handsome young man was laughing at. Was he laughing at her for not wanting to use underhanded tactics to get ahead?

Is this what young people think these days? Instead of honing their skills, they think about relying on crooked and unorthodox methods?

This boy is so young, and he already has such filthy thoughts? No way! He has to be corrected! Otherwise, a promising talent will be ruined!

Thinking of this, Rosalyn decided not to leave and plopped down next to Bai Qianqu.

"Little brother, I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

Bai Qianqu:? ? ?

Seriously? I'm just enjoying some gossip and I'm being targeted?

Rosalyn coughed lightly, adopting the demeanor of a caring older sister.

"Little brother, if you want to become an outstanding singer, talent is certainly important, but the most important thing is your integrity. Many famous singers had bright futures, but because they didn't stick to their integrity, their careers collapsed after scandals were exposed. Just like that Siegfried from Destiny recently."

Bai Qianqu was completely bewildered. It was obvious that Rosalin mistook her for an unknown singer who hadn't even debuted yet. However, Siegfried was truly pitiful. It was clearly someone's rumor, but he was being dragged out and repeatedly mocked.

Rosalyn chattered on and on for a full half hour, trying to enlighten Bai Qianqu, until Xier passed by.

Seele: "Ms. Bai, are you here to see Bronya? Why are you sitting at the door?"

Bai Qianqu smiled wryly: "Yes, but Bronya seems to be very busy, so I'm waiting here."

Seele smiled and said, "It's alright. I also need to talk to Bronya. Please come in with me."

As she spoke, Seele glanced at Rosalind beside her, a hint of wariness flashing in her eyes!

A strange woman has unknowingly started to entangle herself with Teacher Bai Qianqu!

We must be careful! We can't let these strange women interfere with Teacher Bai Qianqu's creative process!

Rosalyn looked shocked and puzzled after hearing this.

"Little brother, you actually came to see Bronya? Could it be that you were sexually harassed by Bronya? Tsk, how despicable! You'd better watch yourself!"

As she spoke, Rosalyn left, seemingly both envious and annoyed. Bai Qianqu could almost hear her talking to herself.

"The perfectly good little piglet got snapped by the cabbage."

Bai Qianqu:? ? ?

Is there something wrong with Rosalyn's mind? Has she always been like this?

However, after listening to Rosalin talk for a long time, Bai Qianqu couldn't remember what she said. He only felt that Rosalin's voice was really nice and that she was a good singer!

Then, Seele, looking wary, knocked on Bronya's office door.

"Please come in," came Bronya's voice from inside.

Pushing open the door, Bai Qianqu found Bronya interviewing a female artist.

Bronya nodded to Bai Qianqu, then said to the female singer, "I'm sorry, your voice is too repetitive. Maybe you can try some styles of your own in the future. However, your voice is above average. I suggest you go to room 9 to find Yuxi's agent. She needs a singer like you."

The female celebrity stood up dejectedly, bowed, and then left the room.

After finishing her work, Bronya turned around and smiled at Bai Qianqu.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Please have a seat."

"Did I disturb your work?" Bai Qianqu pointed to the door. "There are still quite a few people queuing outside."

Bronya laughed: "It's alright, I've already had someone take them to rest. I need to rest too."

As she spoke, Seele brought over the tea, looking every bit the little helper.

Bai Qianqu took a sip and found it was indeed inferior to Lei Dian Long Ma's treasured tea. It seems that the price of tea and its taste are different.

Bronya, oblivious to Bai Qianqu's thoughts, said while holding her teacup, "Your song copyright contract is on the table. The money will be in your account within three days. Would you like to take a look?"

Bai Qianqu picked it up, glanced at it casually, and signed her name after confirming that there were no problems.

“Very good.” Bronya put away the contract. “However, I still feel it’s a bit of a pity. If you had signed a revenue-sharing contract, you would have received much more than two million.”

Bai Qianqu smiled and shook her head.

If he weren't short of money, he wouldn't have resorted to such extreme measures.

"I'll pay you back as soon as I get the money," Bai Qianqu said.

“There’s no rush.” Bronya took a sip of tea. “I heard you’re also interested in participating in that custom order from Destiny Films?”

Upon hearing this, Bai Qianqu nodded: "Yes, I want to try."

“There’s no harm in giving it a try,” Bronya agreed. “You’ve just become a composer, so producing more works will be beneficial for you. However, this composing piece from Destiny is a bit challenging. Just give it a try, and don’t be discouraged if you don’t succeed.”

"However, you should also know that haste makes waste. As I said before, you are a newcomer, so don't always think about becoming an instant sensation. You should know that behind every famous composer is a large number of songs. Those who become popular with one or two songs will only have a short-lived success."

Bai Qianqu knew that Bronya was concerned about her, and nodded with a warm feeling in her heart.

Chapter 16 Getting rich suddenly

"It's good that you understand." Bronya's tone softened. "Alright, you can go now."

Bronya smiled as she watched Bai Qianqu's departing figure.

“Xi’er, you should learn more from Bai Qianqu in the future. He is a real genius.”

Seele nodded understandingly, but still asked curiously, "Sister Bronya, our company has many talented composers, right? Why do you favor Teacher Bai so much? Besides, he's still very young."

Bronya smiled and tapped Seele's little head.

"Tell me, how many years does it take for a composer to reach A-level status?"

Seele thought for a moment and said, "It could take anywhere from ten to several decades."

“There are some people who spend their entire lives and still can’t reach Rank A,” Bronya sighed. “Music is all about talent. If you don’t have the talent, no matter how hard you try, you can’t reach that level. But Bai Qianqu—”

Bronya then stated firmly:

"He's young and very talented. Given enough time to grow, he might actually become an A-level composer in the future!"

Seele's eyes widened!

"Bronya speaks of him so highly?"

"High? I think it's low. If possible, maybe he can even break into S-rank?" Bronya chuckled. "I was being greedy. Anyway, just know that his future is immeasurable."

Seele could only nod, seemingly understanding.

After leaving Bronya's office, Bai Qianqu immediately activated the system.

"System, what is my current account balance?"

Four thousand two hundred and thirty-eight yuan!
