One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos - Chapter 130:
Chapter 130: Chapter 107: Unwilling
Yesterday in the music world.
Some netizens were busy mocking Ye Bingtong.
A portion of netizens were busy congratulating the diva on her upcoming new album release.
But today.
All that’s left is a bunch of “What the f***!”
Who would have thought!
The music industry, which hadn’t seen any major scoop for a long time, suddenly blew up with a series!
At eight o’clock in the evening, Yuxing Music’s official Weibo posted the following message.
“Welcome Ms. Lin Yun as she joins Yuxing Music, becoming the record director.”
A rather brief announcement.
Lin Yun.
This is an extremely unfamiliar name.
Everyone in the comments section was curious about who this saint could be, apparently just an obscure nobody, and why they suddenly landed such an important position.
But no matter how curious the comments section was, Yuxing Music just wouldn’t respond; gradually, rumors and speculations began to appear.
There were rumors that Lin Yun was someone with connections. Xuanjia Entertainment’s sudden signing of Ye Bingtong was crazy enough, but Yuxing Music seemed even crazier.
Record director, eh!
This position highly influences the standard of the entire company’s record production.
To a music company, it’s like handing over its lifeline.
Lin Yun?
A name that couldn’t be more unfamiliar, and even the photo looks unfamiliar. How could such a person take over such an important role?
There were still some voices of doubt in the comments section.
Yuxing Music and Xuanjia Music are the two giants of the current music industry. Xuanjia Music was already in a bit of a mess, and now, their arch-enemy was having issues too.
Suddenly, the people from Xuanjia Music were taking pleasure in their rival’s misfortune.
They used their financial power to push the name “Lin Yun” to the top of the trending searches.
As someone who’s good at following the drama, Ye Xiao certainly wasn’t going to miss out on the excitement.
Thanks to the book’s existence, she even knew what would happen in the story next.
For a moment, she couldn’t help but find it all quite amazing.
If Lin Yun was the protagonist, then this part was pretty damn explosive.
The melon-eating masses and trolls were questioning, and the arch-enemy was adding insult to injury.
Just then.
Yuxing Entertainment casually replied to a message in the comments section.
“Lin Yun, formerly known as: Summer.”
Summer?
What Summer?
Some were clueless.
Others’ pupils quaked!
“Summer? The Summer from M Country?”
“Summer, associated with music. Besides her, who else could it be!”
“I had heard that Summer was a young Chinese. She’s been low-key all these years, never publicly revealing herself. Her real identity has always been a mystery! Can’t believe Yuxing Music has managed to bring this big shot back!”
“Ahhh! I’m going insane! Just ten minutes ago, I was mocking Yuxing Music. But I’m a super fan of Summer. I must repent!!”
“You’ve said so much, but who is this really?”
“Let me enlighten you. The genius composer Summer wrote her first song at the age of eighteen, which was included in a king of pop’s album, making her a sensation overnight. Since then, she’s been on a roll, with every song she writes becoming a hit, dubbed the Midas touch! It means, if you’re chosen by Summer, you’re the next to shine!”
“I just searched her up too. Damn, that series of credentials is blinding!”
“Man, her being 22 and me being 22… suddenly feel like crying.”
“Yuxing as a company, has quietly done such a big thing!”
“Hahaha, my idol is with Yuxing. Does this mean he might get to sing a song by the great Lin Yun? Just thinking about it, I’m thrilled!”
Some were sour.
“It’s just Summer, right? Not that impressive.”
But he was quickly exposed as a fan of a singer from Xuanjia Music.
Instantly, there was a flood of mocking voices.
“Xuanjia’s dogs still dare to come out. Your artist’s level is so low that she’s now a colleague of Ye Bingtong, and you’re not hiding and crying in your blanket, but coming out to make a fool of yourself.”
“Hahaha, that’s too harsh. So all the artists from Xuanjia got shot.”
“No way around it, Xuanjia’s level is low, that’s a fact. If it weren’t for a few old-school kings and queens holding it up, I reckon this company would have collapsed a long time ago.”
“If you drag all that dirty, smelly stuff into your house, how can it not stink?”
The fans of Xuanjia are now at the top of the food chain online, no matter what they say, others just retort with, “Your artist is a colleague of Ye Bingtong.”
They were choked to the point of speechlessness.
Having been at a disadvantage externally, these fans could only go to the official Weibo to furiously criticize the company for inaction. Suddenly, Xuanjia Music made it to the trending searches once again, and it was because of… being scolded.
Ye Bingtong looked at the Weibo post from Yuxing, and her entire being began to feel alarmed.
Lin Yun!
Was it her?
She frantically scrolled to that comment, staring at the name Summer for a long time!
Lin Yun, how could she be the legendary top musician?
This… this might just be someone with the same name!
But Ye Bingtong, staring at Lin Yun’s photo for quite a while, although it had been over a decade, could still vaguely find some traits of that little girl from back then.
Ye Bingtong’s lips trembled.
The little friend she used to toy with.
Now, had actually made a career for herself.
“Welcome Lin Yun on board.”
“Yuxing is going to soar.”
“This is simply too wonderful.”
In the comments section, there was now nothing but congratulatory and welcoming remarks.
And what about her?
Ye Bingtong still didn’t dare to open her private messages to see those attacking remarks.
Back then.
Her skills were clearly on par with Lin Yun’s.
And moreover, the piano masters had said that her talent was better than Lin Yun’s.
But now what?
Lin Yun, relying on herself, had secured a not insignificant status in the music world.
And what about her?
She had to make those kinds of sacrifices just to fight for an opportunity for herself.
As Ye Bingtong looked on, her eyes started to redden.
Why is this world so unfair?
Someone inferior to her in every way was now actually stepping on her head?
No, no, no, that’s not right.
It’s not that she’s inferior to Lin Yun.
Lin Yun’s success today, she didn’t believe the Lin Family hadn’t provided support from behind.
The background of the Lin Family wasn’t much worse than that of the Ye Family; having operated abroad these years, they must have built up quite a sizable business.
It was precisely because of this that Lin Yun was able to rise so high.
She lost because the Ye Family didn’t support her unreservedly like the Lin Family did for Lin Yun.
“You know this Lin Yun?” Pei Yue asked, noticing Ye Bingtong’s expression.
Ye Bingtong squeezed out a smile with some effort, “We were neighbors when we were kids.”
Is that all?
Pei Yue watched her, looking a bit skeptical.
If they were just ordinary neighbors, Ye Bingtong’s reaction seemed a bit unusual.
“Did you… have a falling out?” Pei Yue inquired.
Ye Bingtong hesitated before replying, “Not exactly. Just that we competed in contests when we were younger, and I beat her.”
“Oh?” Pei Yue’s eyes suddenly lit up.
This Lin Yun seems to be quite famous in the music circle.
Ye Bingtong had beaten her before? Wasn’t that a ready-made selling point?
