Chapter 250 Do not bring her in
“No, listen to me first, “Yang Zi said quickly. She didn’t waste time and came straight to the topic. “There is a boy you used to teach. Han Zixin, right?”
“Oh, yes, “Yang Mei nodded her head. She could understand why she received her teacher’s call. Mr Chen hadn’t stopped pestering her to convince Han Zixin. “He is now under my dad but I always give him pointers. He is a very talented boy and has a bright future ahead of him. Teacher Yang, if you are here to convince me to ask him to sign with Mr Chen, I will not agree. He is very young and Mr Chen is not right for him. At least not now.”
Mr Chen was brutal and she didn’t think that Han Zixin should give up on the best years of his life for a boss such as him. He should pass High school first and enter a good music University and only think about the future when he was ready. He was not ready at all and forcing him would only bring that boy harm.
Mr Chen used money and fame to lure the boy. Little did he know that Han Zixin’s grandfather had enough wealth saved for his dear grandchild. Truly, even if Han Zixin never took over the family business or work, he had enough money to live a comfortable life, if not an extremely luxurious one. And that boy wasn’t the one to care for money and fame.
Han Zixin was rowdy but he was honest and kind. money and fame could never incite him.
“Yang Mei, the boy said he doesn’t want to enter the music industry, “Yang Zi sighed in distress. She thought that it would be a shame if a talent like Han Zixin didn’t take advantage of it. He had a talent for music. How could he not put it to use?
“He does want to, “Yang Mei said with a sigh. “I don’t know what happened to him that day. But he told me that he will not sign with Mr Chen’s company. I told him that Mr Chen’s company has you and you always help all the young starlets but he said he doesn’t care. He just doesn’t like the company and people in it.”
She couldn’t understand why it was so difficult for people to understand that just because something is best for one person, it would be best for others too. Han Zixin didn’t want anything to do with Mr Chen or Yang Zi.
Yang Zi felt troubled. “Could it be that the girl he is always with had some opinions about Mr Chen’s company? And I heard about a newbie of our company who said something about her on her social media.”
A few months ago, the social media was brimming with posts calling An Xiulan the national crush. A newbie of the Unique Records company that had just got enough attention made some comments about An Xiulan. Of course, the newbie received a lot of backlash from netizens as well as the higher-ups of the company.
The newbie talked about how people were really vain these days– only caring about face, not talent. She didn’t directly used An Xiulan’s name. But she had liked a post that talked about the vanity of An Xiulan’s fans.
The newbie should have stopped here but she didn’t. She dragged Little Mochi aka Lu Mingze into the matter. She said something about him too. Like how he was using an equal vain person like him to maintain his popularity when he was just a sinking ship.
Lu Mingze didn’t use his social media to interact with his fans but he would often be visible on An Xiulan’s social media handle. It was his way of appeasing his fans.
,ᴄ-ᴏm The result was gruesome for the newbie– Lu Mingze and An Xiulan’s fan joined hands and began reporting her account. When fifteen million and growing followers of An Xiulan and ten million and growing fans of Lu Mingze began reporting her account, it got suspended in a few hours.
An Xiulan and Lu Mingze’s fans were very protective of them. When the fans were fighting the battle, the said people had no news about it.
However, later An Xiulan and Lu Mingze expressed their gratitude to their fans in their own way without being vocal. They created a Tiktok together and the fans showered love on them.
However, because of this matter, Unique Records gave a statement expressing their dissatisfaction with An Xiulan. But nobody cared about their two-faced statements.
Although An Xiulan had won Miss China Teen and some international teen beauty pageants, she wasn’t signed with any company. She was now a fashionista, brands invited her for shows. Her popularity was extreme and her PR team was mighty. Nobody knew why despite having no company to back her up, she was so strong and influential.
“Teacher Yang, “Yang Mei’s tone was strict. She didn’t like how her company had accused An Xiulan back then even though someone else was at fault. She didn’t like this patronizing tone that her teacher used about a little girl. “Do not bring An Xiulan in this topic. She and Han Zixin are best friends. I agree that he always listens to her but she never asks him to do anything that is bad for him. In fact, it was her who persuaded him to give try to the singing competition. She persuaded him to not give up on music. She is a good girl and an excellent best friend. She protects him like he is her family and Han Zixin said her mom is the only mother figure in his life. So, you can estimate what position she held in his life.”
“Okay, I understand. All the best for recording, Mei, “Yang Zi said in a bitter tone as she hung up the call.
Yang Mei didn’t mean to speak to her teacher in this way but she wouldn’t tolerate anyone talking bad about a girl who helped her to reach where she was today. Everyone told her that she shouldn’t attribute her success to An Xiulan who did nothing but just promote her song. But Yang Mei knew better. An Xiulan gave her career a push that she needed so badly.
Now wouldn’t she be an ingrate if she let anyone talk about that girl?
