Chapter 29 - You Guys At Imperial Entertainment Are Really Interesting

If Xia Ling were still at Imperial Entertainment, she would never have let Xia Yu sing a song like that. Even if Xia Yu had stubbornly refused to listen, Pei Ziheng would be there to help her make it happen...

Unknowingly, she was thinking about that man again.

Xia Ling closed her eyes gently as she chased the tall handsome silhouette out of her mind. She told herself, don't look back, you can never return there again .

Outside the makeup room, someone knocked on the door.

Wei Shaoyin responded with some irritation in his voice. "Come in."

The door opened and two people entered the room. They were Chu Chen and Xia Yu.

Meeting them for the first time in this life, Xia Ling was shocked at how calm she remained. The Xia Yu in front of her seemed like a stranger. She was dressed in a stage outfit that Xia Ling had never seen before, made of a material that was silver and sparkly, and specially tailored to bring out the best of Xia Yu's good figure.

Xia Yu called out with trepidation. "Mr. Wei...."

Wei Shaoyin put down the glass in his hand and replied coldly. "What is it?"

Xia Yu bit back her words and looked at him pitifully.

Chu Chen took a step forward and looked Wei Shaoyin straight in the eye. He said, "Mr. Wei, don't you feel that you were a little harsh to have said what you did on the show?"

Wei Shaoyin gave a cold laugh and retorted. "I was just speaking the truth. Why? Do I have to seek approval from Imperial Entertainment to express my views?"

Chu Chen tried to remain calm as he replied. "I know that Boss Li of Skyart Entertainment has a formidable background and you guys aren't afraid to offend Imperial Entertainment. However, it might be prudent for you to remain amicable so that there won't be trouble if we meet again next time. Mr. Wei, I hope that you can retract your statements on the show. Imperial Entertainment will be appreciative of that and will make sure to repay you in the future."

This last sentence had a slight commanding attitude towards it.

With a light "tsk", Wei Shaoyin said, "Chu Chen, are you kidding me? Nobody said anything about your attitude before when you were managing Xia Ling because of her abilities. But now, you are managing this kind of artiste..." He cocked his chin in Xia Yu's direction. "One that has no idea what kind of music style suits her. How long do you expect her fame to last in the industry?"

"Mr. Wei, do be careful of what you insinuate!" Chu Chen's face darkened.

"I thought I was already being very careful." Wei Shaoyin confidently met Chu Chen's gaze, continuing, "She's just a 'recording studio singer'. Who does she think she is?" This title was a big insult to any singer in the entertainment industry. A 'recording studio singer' referred to a singer that had bad foundations and could only rely on autotune and other recording edits to make their song sound presentable.

Xia Yu's face turned pale as she tried to defend herself. "I... I'm not a recording studio singer..."

Wei Shaoyin glanced at her and said with disdain. "I am very curious what Feng Kun has against you to have written such a song for you. Your voice is nowhere near that of Xia Ling's and you dare try singing something this challenging? Yes, this debut song was recorded very well, but I bet it was completed by breaking up into sentences, with you singing one sentence and requiring significant edits as you went along. Whether it was completed through a lot of background touch-up or that you actually sang it smoothly at one go, you would be the clearest on that... And you dare say you are not a recording studio singer?"
