The song "The Actor" at the beginning stunned me with its portrayal of the aloof school be

In Shengda's conference room, a group of senior executives looked completely bewildered.

They kept asking the same question.

Where exactly did they offend Jiang Che?

I just can't figure it out.

This kid ignored his enemy Lin Wei and instead chose to target his own teammate.

This is illogical.

"It's common knowledge online that he had a feud with Lin Wei."

A senior executive banged on the table, his brows furrowed in worry.

"If we're really going to stir up trouble, the first strike should be aimed at Lin Wei."

"Why are they our people?"

"Our Shengda has had absolutely no connection with him from beginning to end."

"Why did he come at us for no reason?"

"Is the production team behind this?"

"Or is it some rival causing trouble?"

"Could this be Tingxian's doing, using this kid to annoy us?"

Some people even started thinking about conspiracy theories.

But after arguing for a long time, none of them held up.

Jiang Che is a student outside the entertainment circle and can't connect with anyone.

In the meeting room, everyone was talking at once, but the more they discussed it, the more confused and frustrated they became.

The ashtray on the table was soon filled with cigarette butts.

A sense of unease permeated the air.

Some people couldn't understand it, so they slammed their fists on the table.

"He's just a newcomer, is it really worth making such a fuss?"

Someone immediately objected.

"Didn't you see the trending topics? The whole internet is laughing at Shengda right now."

"If we tolerate it today, who in the industry will take Shengda seriously tomorrow?"

"This isn't a problem of a newcomer; it's a matter of face."

After these words were spoken, the meeting room fell silent again.

Face is what this behemoth values ​​most.

They discussed it back and forth.

In the end, everyone's criticism pointed to the same person.

Lin Wei.

They were convinced that Lin Wei must have said or done something to Jiang Che behind the company's back.

That's why Jiang Che held the entire Shengda Group accountable for this.

Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense.

No matter how bold Jiang Che is, there's no reason for him to make enemies with Shengda out of thin air.

"Call Lin Wei over and ask her."

"This is most likely her fault."

A senior official, with a stern face, made his decision.

Someone in the conference room sneered.

"A student, no company, no connections, all by himself."

"They dare to step on Shengda's face again and again."

"Do you really think our Shengda is some pushover that anyone can just come and take a bite out of?"

"Once the truth is out, this kid's good days are over."

They just couldn't understand how there could be someone in this world who didn't take Shengda seriously at all.

In their minds, offending Shengda is tantamount to cutting off their livelihood in this industry.

But Jiang Che's nonchalant demeanor clearly showed that he wasn't afraid at all.

This fearlessness, on the contrary, made them feel uneasy.

……

A phone call was made directly to Lin Wei.

On the other end of the phone, Lin Wei stammered.

Her heart skipped a beat; she knew she couldn't hide it anymore.

Under repeated questioning, she finally confessed, albeit tentatively.

She admitted that she had used Shengda to threaten Jiang Che.

They said that if he offended Shengda, his future would be bleak.

She originally just wanted to put some pressure on Jiang Che, force him to comply, and obediently pull him into the company.

Little did anyone know, Jiang Che remembered every single word of those words.

It was even recorded as an account.

Upon hearing this, Liu Lin on the other end of the phone was so angry that she immediately started cursing.

"You idiot!"

"Who gave you the right to threaten people with the company?!"

"What's going on in your head?!"

"The company had no grudge against him and kept to itself."

"You've managed to turn 'no grudge' into 'there is a grudge' with just your mouth!"

"Now look what's happened, they've pinned all the blame on Shengda. Are you satisfied now?"

"Instead of recruiting anyone, we've created an enemy for the company, and each one is more capable than the last!"

"Do you know how much the company is going to lose because of your mouth?"

"Have you ever calculated how much a song by a top-tier songwriter costs?"

"I'm just cleaning up your mess!"

Lin Wei was so scolded that she didn't dare to say a word. She could only clutch her phone, bury her head, and hold back her tears.

Only then did she belatedly realize the enormity of the mess her impulsive threat had made.

Jiang Che's targeting of Shengda stemmed from her words.

It turns out that every slash Jiang Che made was aimed at the words she had spoken.

She had previously thought that Jiang Che was showing her mercy, and she was still dreaming that he couldn't let go of her.

This unrequited love now felt like a huge joke, slapping her hard across the face, leaving a burning pain.

Shengda, which she was so proud of, became a burden she couldn't get rid of.

What she perceived as deep affection was nothing but a figment of her imagination.

She didn't understand anything from beginning to end.

……

Scolds are scolded.

Things have come to this point, and Shengda has no way out.

Ultimately, it was their own fault that they were in the wrong first.

First, they tried to poach someone but failed, and then Lin Wei's actions completely escalated the conflict.

If you examine this closely, there's no truth to it at all.

But Shengda's prestige in this industry cannot tolerate a newcomer openly challenging it.

Today, he was slashed by Jiang Che in public and still swallowed his anger.

If word gets out tomorrow, where will Shengda put its face?

What will other companies think?

How will he establish his authority in the industry and keep people in check in the future?

I just can't swallow this insult.

Face is more important than substance.

The meeting room remained silent for a long time.

Finally, a senior executive slammed his fist on the table and set the tone.

In the program, besides Lin Wei, Shengda had another contestant present.

Give that contestant a tougher, better song.

No matter the cost, no matter the resources, we must create a work that can overshadow Jiang Che.

I must defeat Jiang Che head-on on stage.

Let's deflate this kid's arrogance.

We will take back the ground that Shengda lost.

"Whose song are you looking for?" someone asked.

"Find the best." The executive's eyes turned cold.

"If any of the company's top creators have any hidden gems, we'll buy them outright."

"I'll pay whatever it takes."

"I don't believe that a student like him can outweigh the entire wealth of Shengda."

These words finally gave an outlet for the pent-up frustration in the meeting room.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

In their view, Jiang Che might be more talented when it comes to working alone.

But how can one person compete with the resources that a company pours into its entire operation?

This time, they're going to use money and resources to shut this kid down on stage.

But from beginning to end, not a single person mentioned it.

Who wrote those three songs by Jiang Che?

Because they can't find it.

Those songs seemed to appear out of nowhere, with no trace of their origin.

This should have been the place that made them most wary.

What does it mean to be someone who can continuously write divine songs?

But they subconsciously avoided the question.

In their eyes, he was just a student with some talent who had hit the jackpot a few times.

Using the entire company's resources to crush a student is a sure win no matter how you look at it.

They couldn't have imagined it.

You're never facing just one person.

It is the best song of an entire era that has stood the test of time.

The outcome of this battle was already decided the moment they made the final decision.

……

Once the decision was made, Shengda, this massive machine, began to operate.

Finding songs, arranging music, refining the music, and packaging it.

All the top-tier resources from the entire industry were poured into that player.

What they wanted was a well-prepared, powerful punch.

A powerful punch that could completely crush Jiang Che's arrogance.

Shengda's counterattack has already been quietly prepared.

Jiang Che, at this moment, was completely unaware of all of this.

He continued eating as usual, as relaxed as if nothing had happened.

Wang Haoran excitedly pulled him aside to review the trending topics, reading out the arguments one by one.

He listened for a couple of sentences, then waved his hand and said he was sleepy.

I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow and slept incredibly soundly.

In the next episode, he will face a tough battle that Shengda has meticulously prepared.

However, in his view, this tough battle was not yet significant enough.

He didn't even bother to find out what his opponent was going to sing beforehand.

there is always a solution to a problem.

His repertoire is never short of a song that can easily outshine others.
