A Valiant Life

A tactful rejection



A tactful rejection

Eastern Han Organization     

When Wang Mingyang saw the international competition, he was immediately interested.     

"Huanyue, who do you think we should get to write English songs? Judging by the situation, Chinese songs aren't too appropriate."     

Wang Mingyang was very troubled. He had seen the situation on the Internet. That Jin Can was full of zest.     

It wasn't difficult to find an English song composer. But the hard part was getting well-written songs.     

"I don't know about that." Wu Huanyue shook her head. She had not dabbled in this field before.     

Wang Mingyang was frustrated. "Sigh. This brother of mine isn't good at English. If only his English was a little better. Then, we would have no problems getting him to write a song."     

*Knock knock*     

"Come in."     

Wang Mingyang and Wu Huanyue were just discussing this matter.     

After all, this competition could be a huge opportunity for anyone. If Wu Huanyue could garner fame outside of China, she would be bringing glory to the country. And she could get her name out there too.     

However, the only problem was getting a song.     

"Chief Wang, I just contacted a famous singer. He can help to compose a song," said Yang Qian.     

Yang Qian was Wu Huanyue's manager as well as her personal bodyguard. She knew some kungfu too. After all, Wu Huanyue was a superstar now. She had to have a bodyguard.     

Moreover, Wang Mingyang definitely had to take good care of Wu Huanyue. This was his Brother's lady. If he didn't protect her, he would end up in misery.     

"Who is it?" asked Wang Mingyang.     

Yang Qian replied, "The old-school emperor, Zheng Ya. He has written lots of English songs and he's very talented. If we hire him, we'll be set."     

Wang Mingyang thought for a moment. "Him, eh? I know him. He's quite an impressive composer. But what conditions does he have?"     

Yang Qian said, "We don't know for now. He said he would think about it."     

"Think about it? It seems like he's really interested!" Wang Mingyang laughed. He had not expected that response. However, he wondered what exactly Zheng Ya would ask for.     

*Ding ding!*     

At that moment, Yang Qian's phone rang. She took a look at the screen. "Chief Wang, it's Zheng Ya."     

"Answer it then. Let's see what he'll ask for," said Wang Mingyang.     

Yang Qian answered the call and turned on the loudspeaker.     

"Hello. I've thought about it. I can write a few songs for Wu Huanyue. However, I have to request your Chief Wang to help organize a solo concert for me."     

Zheng Ya's voice could be heard through the phone.     

When this request was stated, Wang Mingyang's expression suddenly changed.     

Yang Qian said, "This request is a bit too much, isn't it? We're just asking for a few songs."     

"Haha. Actually, I'm just saying. With my current status, a song from me is worth a lot. I've been very busy lately. I've really been very busy. This is just a tactful way of rejecting your offer. I'm sorry."     

He hung up.     

"This guy is a little unbridled." Wang Mingyang furrowed his brows. He had not expected such a request.     

Yang Qian was speechless. "This guy must not have even considered it. He was just playing with us."     

"Chief Wang, actually, I don't have to participate," said Wu Huanyue.     

Wang Mingyang shook his head. "That won't do. Since there's such an opportunity, why shouldn't we give it a shot? Does that guy think he's the only one who can write a song? He's way too arrogant."     

At that moment, on the Internet.     

Zheng Ya posted on Weibo.     

"Eastern Han Organization's Wu Huanyue's manager just called me to ask me to write a few songs for Wu Huanyue. However, I rejected tactfully because I already promised to write songs for Jin Can. After all, to me, Jin Can's abilities are pretty good. She should give the competition a shot."     

When this was posted, everyone was instantly stunned.     

"D*mn. This is awesome. I didn't expect the bigshot Zheng Ya would get involved and help Jin Can to write songs. That's really amazing."     

"Haha. The bigshot rejected the Eastern Han Organization like that. Isn't he afraid of being suppressed by them?"     

"Suppressed my a*s. Even if the Eastern Han Organization were even more awesome, they wouldn't be able to do anything."     

"That's true. But it looks like Master Lin really isn't going to write songs for her. Otherwise, they wouldn't have approached Zheng Ya."     

"It can't be helped. Master Lin's English is just terrible. This is beyond his abilities."     

"This is quite a humiliation. Doesn't this mean Jin Can is better than Wu Huanyue?"     

The netizens were discussing intensely over this topic. To them, this Zheng Ya was quite ferocious. However, he had the fame to back it up.     

Eastern Han Organization.     

When Wang Mingyang saw the Weibo post, his expression changed.     

"D*mn. What's that guy's problem? Is he explicitly going against me?" When Wang Mingyang saw the post, he was so angry that his face turned red. It was an inexplicable rage.     

Wu Huanyue sighed. If she had just joined the industry, perhaps she would have been angry. However, looking at it now, it was very normal. There was no need to be angry at all.     

As her manager, Yang Qian was very angry too. There had been no need to post it on Weibo, but Zheng Ya had gone and done it. That wasn't right.     

Jin Can's agency.     

"Hahaha. Elder Zheng played it beautifully. This will p*ss Wang Mingyang off." The person-in-charge of the agency was roaring with laughter.     

He felt that this whole thing had been beautifully done. This would definitely draw a lot of hate.     

As Jin Can looked at the Weibo post, she giggled. In the country, she had always been suppressed because of Wu Huanyue. She had not gotten the recent award because of Wu Huanyue too.     

She had not gotten a single award.     

Best song, best composer, best performer… Not a single award had gone to her. She felt unyielding.     

If Wu Huanyue hadn't had Master Lin, she would have nothing. In terms of voice, Jin Can felt that she would not lose to Wu Huanyue. Why would she?     

All Wu Huanyue had was Master Lin.     

Right now, everyone in the music industry was envious of Wu Huanyue. It was all because she had Master Lin behind her to keep writing good songs for her.     

Each of the songs written by him was a classic. It was completely shocking.     

But this time, the tables had turned.     

There was no way Master Lin could write English songs. It was impossible for Wu Huanyue to take part in the international competition.     

As for getting Zheng Ya to write songs for her, Wu Huanyue could keep dreaming. After all, the Eastern Han Group had deep connections in other industries, but they only had very shallow connections in the music industry.     

"Jin Can, you have to put in your best this time. There are several composers helping you. If you still don't suppress her, it wouldn't be right."     

Jin Can nodded. "I understand. I will work hard."     

She believed that there would be no problems at all.
