Chapter 67: Anonymous’s Second Song
Translator: Lordbluefire
When Yang Zhiqin heard this, her eyes suddenly gleamed as she turned and looked at her.
However, Lu Cheng was puzzled. “How can we take out any songs? You are not a composer, so you don’t know that a composer needs at least a month from the start of the songwriting process all the way to the end…In addition, it’s almost impossible if you want to take out a song as high quality as what Teacher Anonymous wrote… Also, since Teacher Yang will be starting with [Lone Silence], if the second song we gave Jing Zhen was not comparable to it, it would surely attract bad press…”
They were both scheduled to release their songs, so they had to compete in the same monthly charts. Jing Zhen and Yang Zhiqin were also from the same company. Hence, people would surely compare the two of them.
Lu Cheng frowned. “Forget it, I’ll give Jing Zhen a call and ask if he wants to sing.”
After he finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone.
!!
Ever since Lu Cheng took over the company, he recorded the phone numbers of all the artists. So when he found Jing Zhen’s number, he immediately made a call. “Hey, have you seen what’s happening on Weibo? What are you planning to do?”
Jing Zhen: “…what’s going on with Weibo?”
Lu Cheng: “???”
He started. “You haven’t seen Weibo?”
“I didn’t download the app so how would I be able to see it…?”

Lu Cheng: “!!”
Was this person really an artist?!

His lips twitched and he explained the matter. Jing Zhen then replied, “Oh, singing? Forget it, I prefer acting…Are they scolding me? So be it, I won’t lose a piece of flesh even if they scold me.”
His identity as a lone extra with no connections was truly a stable character setting!
Shen Ruojing also heaved a sigh of relief.
Since her father was unwilling to sing, let’s forget about it then. Just so coincidentally, she could protect her false identity this way.
Lu Cheng pondered but didn’t push this matter. After all, it had been over twenty years since Jing Zhen sang. If there really was a good song but Jing Zhen screwed it up with his singing, the whole thing would simply be a waste of time.
After hanging up, he said, “I will send people to do some public relations for this matter. In that case, Teacher Yang, record the song well. We will leave first.”
Shen Ruojing also stood up. “I’m also making a move first.”
Yang Zhiqin looked at her. “Teacher Shen. Can I first send my recording to you after I’m done with it?”
Lu Cheng laughed when he heard this. “Teacher Yang, how would she know anything about music?”
Shen Ruojing nodded. “Right, right. I don’t know anything about music.”

Yang Zhiqin: “…”
Shen Ruojing and Lu Cheng left together. After they went down, she walked to her motorbike. But right after she had worn her helmet, she saw Lu Cheng walking over like he wanted to say something. And when he moved nearer…
Vroooom! Shen Ruojing started her engine and shot off directly, leaving Lu Cheng behind with a mouthful of dust.

Lu Cheng: “…”
Shen Ruojing finally felt relaxed after returning to her home.
Right after she entered the door, she saw Shen Qianhui sitting on the sofa singing a song. The music player was playing a new, very popular and catchy song, but the expressions of Jing Zhen who was standing at the side kept changing. He suddenly asked, “Wife, is this song nice to listen to?”
“So nice!” Shen Qianhui casually evaluated.
Jing Zhen’s lips twitched. “What’s so nice about it?”
Shen Qianhui laughed. “I just feel that it’s quite nice to listen to. I’ve been listening to music for a day, and this song is the smoothest out of all the new songs. This is the only song that makes me want to listen on repeat…”
Shen Qianhui felt that since she had stepped into the entertainment industry, she had to understand the things here. Not only did she have to learn the rules, but she also had to work hard to cultivate her appreciation ability.
So, she downloaded a piece of music software and kept listening to the songs within.
She stood up and went up the stairs while listening to this song.
Jing Zhen was left standing silently below.
He suddenly turned and looked at Shen Ruojing before speaking in an aggrieved manner, “That’s Jin Chi`en’s song.”
Shen Ruojing: “…”
After that, she saw Jing Zhen picking up his phone and fiddling around with it.
Three minutes later, Shen Ruojing received a text from Lu Cheng. [DIDN’T! YOUR! FATHER! SAY! HE! WON’T! BE! SINGING?!?!?!]
Shen Ruojing: “?”
She quickly logged into Weibo and saw a post made by Jing Zhen.
Jing Zhen✓: [Let’s battle @Jin Chi`en]

He only had over ten thousand fans on Weibo, but after Jin Chi`en spoke about him, many fans started paying attention to this matter. Because of it, although he had only posted on Weibo a minute ago, the number of likes had broken tens of thousands, and the popularity of the post skyrocketed.
Shen Ruojing: “…”
Lu Cheng sent another message. [How can I find a song that’s around [Lone Silence]’s quality in such a short span of time?!?!]
–
Lu Cheng was still on the way back to Royal Ocean Entertainment, but when he saw this post, he immediately felt a headache. Why were his own people finding trouble for him?
But…he couldn’t even scold Jing Zhen now…
What’s so coincidental was that Chu Cichen also sent him a message right now. [So, how is it?]
Chu Cichen wouldn’t look at Weibo, so his information was not up to date in comparison.
Lu Cheng blushed when he recalled how he had misunderstood Shen Ruojing as wanting to grab Chu Cichen’s attention by writing a song. He knew he mustn’t speculate too much.
Hence, Lu Cheng directly called Chu Cichen.
After the call connected, Chu Cichen’s voice rang out. “So has she decided which composer she wants to learn music from?”
Lu Cheng grinned and replied, “Bro Chen, she isn’t planning on entering the music industry. The song she took out was something Teacher Anonymous left for her those years ago. Simply speaking, she is a porter, porting the song from Teacher Anonymous to Teacher Yang…”
“…”
After sensing Chu Cichen’s silence, Lu Cheng immediately continued, “Actually, it’s to be expected if you think about it. Her foundation is too inferior, and she probably hasn’t even played the piano or touched a violin before. She might not be able to master them even if she learned…”
Chu Cichen suddenly asked, “Did you not think about why Anonymous left the song for her?”
Lu Cheng: “??”
He scratched his head. “I understand!”
He seemed to have discovered the truth as he spoke, “Teacher Anonymous’s song should have been left to her father, Jing Zhen, right?”
Chu Cichen coldly asked again, “Why can’t Anonymous appreciate her?”
“How can that be possible?!” Lu Cheng’s tone grew determined. “Bro Chen, you may find what I’m going to say unpleasant, but I still have to say them. You are not in Sea City so you don’t understand Shen Ruojing. Her name in the city is extremely bad. She is ignorant and dislikes learning, and she loves to fight and act like a delinquent. Teacher Anonymous is an artist, so how could he have chosen her?”
Chu Cichen: “I think you want to take a trip to Southeast Asia.”
“Bro Chen, I was wrong.” Lu Cheng immediately surrendered. “However, I still maintain my opinion. [Lone Silence] should be an unexpected surprise that she obtained through luck. Also, back then, Teacher Anonymous would never sell his songs to the same person twice. If things were like what you have said and it was true that Teacher Anonymous appreciated her, she should be able to bring out a second song from Teacher Anonymous for her father, seeing that her father is going to participate in the singing chart next month…”
Just as the sound of his voice faded, his phone vibrated as an email was sent to his inbox.
Lu Cheng then clicked on it and discovered an email sent by Shen Ruojing to the company. The email had an attachment, and it looked like a short music demo.
