"Teacher Xu, have some tea and calm down. Your idea of ​​taking on apprentices is great. You can pass on your experience and cultivate talent. But one apprentice is not enough. The more the better, so that your abilities can be fully demonstrated. You see, you have a male apprentice. Shouldn't you also have a female apprentice?" Director Xu smiled and offered tea to Xu Lai.

Lu Mengyao's eyes turned cold.

This guy is back to his old ways, poaching other people's partners.

"Could it be that you, Director Xu, are implying that Teacher Xu can only demonstrate his abilities by taking on apprentices? That he has no talent of his own and can only rely on his apprentices?" Lu Mengyao seized the opportunity to directly answer Director Xu.

Director Xu, who had been smiling, suddenly turned pale.

Lu Mengyao is setting a trap for her; how cunning!

"How could that be? Professor Xu is exceptionally capable, no ordinary person. His works have such a great influence, and so many people have entered the hall of music because of him. I just feel that he should impart his knowledge and help talented children so that they can follow in his footsteps." Director Xu forced a smile.

In truth, she wished she could tear Lu Mengyao apart. She had originally kept Lu Mengyao under her thumb, but after Lu Mengyao got together with Qin Shou, she became increasingly arrogant and even caused her trouble.

"Not interested!" After Director Xu offered tea, Xu Lai quickly waved her hand and forcefully spilled the tea all over Director Xu.

This was a cup of scalding hot tea, so hot that Director Xu grimaced in pain.

She quickly grabbed some tissues to wipe herself, but it was no use; her clothes were still soaked, and her body was burned red.

Xu Lai ignored her and continued to act arrogantly.

Lu Mengyao felt a sense of satisfaction at seeing Director Xu's disheveled state.

Director Xu was furious. She hadn't expected Xu Lai to ignore her like this. Undeterred, she continued, "If you don't want a female apprentice, a goddaughter will do! Look at our Xia Wan Ning's picture, she's such a beautiful girl, and her voice is amazing! I guarantee you'll love her!"

"Why don't you just find me a wife?" Xu Lai pushed the phone away expressionlessly when Director Xu brought it closer.

His disdain was practically obvious.

People around burst out laughing. After all, Director Xu was usually a very imposing person with a bad temper and a penchant for finding fault. Now that he was completely under Xu Lai's thumb, it was a relief for them.

Director Xu's face flushed red. She felt embarrassed and glared fiercely at the person who had mocked her.

Keep in mind that Lu Mengyao is right in front of her, and she still dares to embarrass herself in front of Lu Mengyao. This is outrageous!

"That's enough, sit back down!" The president felt that Director Xu had embarrassed himself and clearly angered Xu Lai, and the consequences would be severe.

Director Xu was quite upset, knowing he had made a fool of himself in front of his cousin.

She had been trying to turn the tables, but her cousin had a bad temper, so she could only obey her cousin's wishes and return to her seat dejectedly.

She was seething with anger. It was all Qin Shou and Lu Mengyao's fault. If it weren't for them, would she have been so humiliated? Especially since she had disappointed her cousin!

Xu Lai's face was ashen, clearly displeased.

The president tried everything he could, but he couldn't improve Xu Lai's expression much.

Xu Lai said coldly, "I didn't expect that people in your company would think I'm so easy to fool."

One sentence was enough to make everyone hold their breath.

Don't you think about the big shots in Xu Lai's circle? They are all high-ranking officials and dignitaries, or top directors with absolute power. Not to mention his lofty status as a national treasure-level artist.

Offending him is like cutting off your escape route!

The CEO was getting a little anxious.

She's in this industry, with a complex web of relationships, all connected by a common thread. The one person she absolutely cannot mess with is the top bigwig.

Even though her company is doing well now, a single word from someone above can severely damage her.

As she racked her brains trying to win Xu Lai's favor, she heard a helpless voice: "Why are you here again?"

Who would dare say that with such a disdainful tone?

I was still telling Xu Lai, "Don't be too arrogant!"

Don't you know how high Xu Lai's status is?

Everyone was even more worried for the boy who was lazily putting his hands in his pockets.

Qin Shou is probably doomed.

Even if Xu Lai admires him, Xu Lai is proud and definitely doesn't like others not giving him a way out.

Director Xu, who was initially quite aggrieved, is now covering his mouth and chuckling to himself.

Hahaha, Qin Shou is finished! He openly disliked Xu Lai. What an idiot! He was even promoting her, and now he's completely blacklisted!

"I miss you, of course I'll come! I've been bursting with inspiration lately, and I'm almost finished writing a song for you. I believe it will be my most outstanding work, and your performance will be the icing on the cake!"

Shocking everyone!

Instead of losing her temper, Xu Lai stared intently at Qin Shou.

The coldness on his face vanished instantly, replaced by happiness.

Even their eyes revealed a senior's affection for a junior.

This is a privilege that no one else receives!

Is this still the fearsome and ruthless boss from rumors? And what's with this doting tone?

The president breathed a sigh of relief and was actually very grateful to Qin Shou.

Fortunately, Qin Shou arrived in time, otherwise I don't know how the situation would have ended.

"No need, I have songs, I can sing the ones I wrote myself. Is that all you came to me for?" Qin Shou rolled his eyes in frustration.

He was sleeping soundly on that incredibly expensive bed in the lounge when he was woken up.

Qin Shou was still a bit grumpy when he woke up, but the system reminded him: [Ding, host has completed the refusal task. Congratulations to the host for upgrading his singing skills, becoming a top-level master combining domineering technique and emotional expression!]

Qin Shou was quite satisfied.

If you want to be a singer, you can't just rely on your natural voice. You might be able to do it once or twice, but if you do a lot of activities, it will definitely damage your voice. Once you have the skills, you'll be invincible.

Everyone gasped.

Brother, do you even realize how popular Xu Lai's songs are?

Even if someone spends hundreds of millions, they still can't buy a single song!

You actually don't want it?

Director Xu is so envious he's practically going crazy.

Idiot, if you don't want it, give it to me! Why are you refusing outright?

So many people are waiting for Xu Lai's new work! Even if the first cover isn't for her, it's still a great honor for her to be able to do it.

Many people at the scene envied Qin Shou. Why could Qin Shou speak in such an arrogant tone? But Xu Lai wasn't angry at all; instead, she was pleasantly surprised: "You wrote it?"

"Yes, it's all done. I plan to release my first single with a song I composed and wrote myself," Qin Shou replied casually.

The CEO thought Qin Shou had lost his mind.

Qin Shou was an amateur; how could a professional arranger possibly complete such a piece? It would definitely be child's play.

"Qin Shou, it's best to leave professional matters to professionals. Let's leave it to Teacher Xu." President Qian smiled.

Qin Shou was inherently rebellious.

How could he not sense the contempt and disdain of outsiders?

Even when others think he's not good enough, he's determined to succeed.

"How do you know I'm unprofessional if you haven't heard of me?" Qin Shou glanced at the president sideways.

Everyone gasped.

Qin Shou not only confronted Xu Lai, but he also confronted the CEO? Offending his superior could ruin Qin Shou's career; it's a very serious matter!

"Do you have a demo track? How about we listen to it?" Xu Lai was particularly eager and even perked up.

"It needs mixing and such, it's not finished yet, it needs post-production in the recording studio," Qin Shou said.

After hearing this, Director Xu rolled his eyes and scoffed, "So it was just empty talk."

He spoke very softly, but Qin Shou still heard him.

Qin Shou chuckled and then said, "Although the demo isn't finished, I can play and sing. I see there's a piano in the practice room next door. If you don't mind, you can go there."

He'd been sensible for over twenty years, but this time he was going to rebel.

Stick to your own music, walk your own path, and leave others with nowhere to go!

Qin Shou walked out, while the others exchanged glances, waiting to see what the president would say.

After all, the president is still stuck there; if she doesn't leave, who dares to?

Everyone has to listen to the boss. Qin Shou just contradicted the president, so the president probably won't be happy about it.

P.S.: I definitely posted 12,000 words today. Normally it should be six chapters, but to save time, I just posted a few chapters to finish. I'm so ruthless when I'm updating like this! I've worked so hard to get this far! Ah! I'm also writing two books at once, so don't forget to support my other novel!
