Breakup at the Start: A Song That Makes Him a Legend, and the School Beauty Pursues Him

"I'm sorry, I'm now a signed artist. I'm not very talented, so thank you for your kind offer. You should look for someone else."

Joanna: "???"

Brother, are you stupid?

Giving up such a golden opportunity? He really is a hopeless case; he thought Qin Shou was about to rise to prominence.

However, with such a short-sighted perspective, even if one becomes an artist, one will still be ignorant of worldly affairs and will definitely be eliminated from the industry. It is estimated that one will disappear without a trace after a short time.

Thinking about this made Joanna feel much better.

However, what Joanna didn't know was that a mechanical voice echoed throughout Qin Shou's world: [Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the mission. You rejected composer Xu Lai and received a box of diamonds, which has been placed in your bedroom.]

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou's lips curled into a smile.

He simply rejected one person, but received a box of diamonds in return.

Isn't that a sure-fire way to make money?

Lu Mengyao felt a little regretful after hearing Qin Shou's refusal, but since Qin Shou had already made this choice, she did not blame him. Instead, she supported him with gentle eyes.

After all, it's Qin Shou's life, and she'll always be his support, no matter what choices he makes.

Qi Ge was gloating.

Xu Lai is such a famous composer, he must be angry to be rejected now.

Having lost face, he'll probably unleash his fury on Qin Shou.

Qin Shou was just arrogant, but now he's doomed.

While Qi Ge was listening to Xu Lai's outburst, Xu Lai was even more impressed than before: "As expected of the person I chose, you are truly extraordinary and unique. Most people would have already rushed to become my apprentice, but you remained unmoved, which proves your admirable spirit. This makes me admire you even more. An artist should have this kind of courage!"

Qin Shou: "..."

Qi Ge was taken aback: Dude, you're not kidding, are you?

Is this even allowed?

This was the first time Qin Shou had ever encountered a famous composer who was so clingy.

She had no airs at all; on the contrary, she was incredibly enthusiastic towards him.

"Your name is Qin Shou? Just hearing your name, you're clearly extraordinary, a chosen one."

"I'll pay the bill today, you can eat whatever you want, I just want to talk to you about art."

"It's okay if you're not interested in becoming an apprentice right now. I can patiently wait until you have the idea, and then we can discuss it in detail."

"If you become my apprentice, how about I give you a three-story studio with a garden, right in the city center? I'll put the name on it."

"If you're really determined to become a star, that's fine too. I'll support you, I'll be your producer, I'll write songs and compose music for you, how about that?"

"You signed with Hongran? What a coincidence! I have a close relationship with your CEO. I'll arrange more work opportunities for you. I also have membership slots for the Jiangnan Opera Festival. Why don't you come with me?"

……

Qi Ge was dumbfounded.

The boss who was just a moment ago arrogant and looked down on everyone has now become a chatterbox?

Most importantly, the Jiangnan Opera Festival is the place where the most famous artists gather. If you're not a top performer in the industry, you simply can't get there.

Even if you have money, you're not eligible. Countless people are desperate to become members, but it's impossible.

If Xu Lai can help Qin Shou become a member, Qin Shou's net worth will increase at least tenfold!

Moreover, he could go from a minor celebrity to a great artist.

It's super classy, ​​isn't it!

Unfortunately, this very opportunity fell to Qin Shou.

Not to mention giving Qin Shou his downtown studio; Brother Qi had heard that Xu Lai's studio was the most impressive.

Qin Shou was taken aback by Xu Lai's enthusiasm: "I'm sorry, I'm really not interested."

Even as he was leaving the stage to return to his seat, Xu Lai relentlessly chased after him, pleading, "Will we ever meet again? Qin Shou, when we meet again, you must be happy, okay? It's okay that I'm no longer in your world, you must be happy. Qin Shou, how can I live without you... Qin Shou, just come with me!"

Qin Shou was completely dumbfounded.

The prestigious, award-winning composer has become his sycophant?

Those around them were even more dumbfounded.

Just as Qin Shou was feeling troubled, a beautiful figure blocked his way.

Qin Shou then saw Lu Mengyao step forward. Lu Mengyao, looking imposing, replied to Xu Lai, "Excuse me, please don't bother my artist. If you have other work arrangements, please contact me. I am his manager, Lu Mengyao."

Lu Mengyao handed her business card to Xu Lai.

Xu Lai nodded, understanding the situation, and clutched the business card tightly: "Until we meet again."

Qin Shou felt that Lu Mengyao's intervention was timely; otherwise, he really wouldn't know how to deal with Xu Lai.

Xu Lai couldn't refuse his kind invitation; he was practically the epitome of a sycophant.

Qin Shou never expected to receive such treatment.

Seeing that the meal was almost over, and fearing that Xu Lai might do something inappropriate, Qin Shou simply paid the bill and left.

Although the waiter was grateful to Qin Shou for generating revenue for him, he also knew that Qin Shou could not afford such an expensive expense.

So he brought the POS machine to Lu Mengyao and said, "Hello, it's 25,000 yuan in total."

Just as Lu Mengyao instinctively reached for her card, she discovered that a card had already been extended from a distance.

"Didn't we agree that I'd pay? Senior, you should listen to my advice."

The one who took the card was naturally Qin Shou.

The waiter was somewhat surprised, never expecting Qin Shou to be serious.

Lu Mengyao's red lips twitched, her curled eyelashes fluttered slightly, then she pouted, rolled up her sleeves, and looked at her slender fingers.

After a moment's thought, she made a decision.

Wash the dishes, get to work, and try not to break a single one! We don't want Qin Shou to be stuck in the dark room!

Little did she know that her actions had been exposed to Qin Shou.

Qin Shou was suppressing a laugh.

Can the usually aloof and beautiful school beauty senior really have such an adorable side?

It's such a waste to use such beautiful hands to wash dishes.

He figured Lu Mengyao probably didn't even have to wash dishes at home, and he didn't want to mess with her.

This time, Lu Mengyao's first experience washing dishes is definitely going to be ruined.

At this moment, Joanna also realized that it was Qin Shou who was paying the bill.

This is a five-star hotel. Are you trying to show off here?

She didn't even need to think about it; she knew she'd be getting a message about insufficient funds in no time.

Qin Shou had no money.

If I had money, would I have needed to work as a food delivery driver before?

Joanna knew that Qin Shou was just putting on a show, but no matter how much he pretended to be rich, he definitely couldn't come up with that amount of money.

"Okay, the bill has been successfully settled. Thank you for your patronage." The waiter's voice startled Joanna.

When Joanna saw it, she was truly dumbfounded.

Qin Shou actually swiped his card successfully, and there were no restrictions?

Is this a credit card?

No, Qin Shou is a student, how could he possibly have a credit card?

This meal is not cheap; it's equivalent to a student's living expenses for a year.

Qin Shou didn't even blink, showing no sign of heartache whatsoever?

Where did Qin Shou get his money?

Qin Shou calmly took the card and then said to Lu Mengyao, who blinked in surprise, "Senior, let's go."

Lu Mengyao whispered to Qin Shou, "Won't... bankrupt us?"
