「Studio.」
A group of team mbers who had been waiting for a long ti welcod Wu Bin with the utmost reverence.
With his hands clasped behind his back and his nose in the air, Wu Bin didn’t even bother to return their greetings. He simply found a seat and casually sat down.
"How dare you follow us here?" the fatty Wu Bin had brought with him snarled. "Fuck! I ought to slap you to death! Goddammit!"
He had just spotted Lu Feiyan at the studio, with Shen Fanyun and the young man he had slapped earlier following behind her. The fatty assud Lu Feiyan was there to demand an apology from him.
The studio mbers exchanged confused glances, unsure of what had happened outside. As a verbal dispute erupted between the fatty and Lu Feiyan, their expressions grew increasingly strange.
"Feiyan, what’s going on?" a manager asked in a low voice.
Feiyan?
Wu Bin lifted his head in disbelief, staring at Lu Feiyan without blinking. He knew perfectly well that he had co to Hangcheng City on Wang Tuohai’s orders to groom a rising talent nad Lu Feiyan.
This newcor was already receiving top-tier resources. The marketing departnt had even prepared a promotional budget of two hundred million yuan, aiming to launch Lu Feiyan to superstardom in one fell swoop. The scale of the investnt was so grand that everyone at Jinhai Records was privately speculating about Lu Feiyan’s background. So even suspected that Lu Feiyan was having an affair with Wang Tuohai. Now, seeing her in person, she was indeed exceptionally beautiful—exactly Wang Tuohai’s type.
Unfortunately for her, she’s out of luck. She left a terrible first impression on . A rookie who hasn’t even debuted is demanding that I, in front of everyone, apologize to so country bumpkin? Apologize for what?
"Hmph." Wu Bin snorted, clearly displeased.
She might be a rising singer valued by Wang Tuohai, but I, Wu Bin, am a legend in the industry. If I decide to teach her a lesson, Wang Tuohai probably won’t intervene as long as I don’t go too far. Perhaps this girl only secured so many resources because she had so leverage on Wang Tuohai. By targeting her, I might even be doing him an unintentional favor.
"So you’re Lu Feiyan." The fatty next to Wu Bin eyed her provocatively, his tone dripping with disdain.
Lu Feiyan nodded. "That’s right. I’m the one you’re here to see."
"Since you’ve t our Mr. Wu Bin, why aren’t you hurrying to serve him a cup of tea? What are you dawdling for?" the fatty said coldly. "Do all newcors these days like to put on airs? Showing zero respect for your seniors!"
Wu Bin simply crossed his legs, examining Lu Feiyan with a smirk that didn’t reach his eyes.
After a mont, he slowly spoke. "I haven’t even evaluated your vocal abilities yet, but based on my years of experience, I can tell you don’t et my standards. To have personally craft songs for trash like you would be a complete waste of my talent."
Trash? Lu Feiyan knew the incident outside had caused Wu Bin to see her in a negative light, but to be called trash right to her face was still shocking. Is this so-called respected creative genius really so crass?
"How about this: we’ll skip the assessnt today," Wu Bin announced. "It would just be a waste of my ti anyway."
He made this decision after only a few seconds of thought, leaving the staff mbers baffled. They had made all sorts of preparations for his arrival. He’s really not going to assess Lu Feiyan? Does that an all our work was for nothing?
"What’s there to assess? She’s trash." Wu Bin scanned the room, then pointed at Lu Feiyan and sneered, "Do you really believe soone like *her* could get famous? That she could beco a highly sought-after superstar, adored by the masses?"
Lu Feiyan’s face turned cold. "You can refuse to work with , but do not insult like this!"
"Insult you?" Wu Bin raised an eyebrow. "In this day and age, you should consider it an honor to be insulted by . You really think you’re all that? Fine, I’ll just head back."
Though he said he was leaving, Wu Bin didn’t move an inch. He glanced at Lu Feiyan, paused, then added a condition. "I’ll continue with the assessnt, but you have to apologize to !"
Apologize? He wants to offer a sincere apology for offending him outside?
"You were clearly the one in the wrong," Lu Feiyan retorted. "You let your subordinate assault soone. Why should I apologize to you? Is it just because you’re Wu Bin, the famous creative genius?"
Lu Feiyan finally saw the man’s true colors. To think she had once admired and respected this legendary figure so much. Now? The very sight of his face made her want to vomit.
"I’m giving you a chance. You’d be wise to take it," Wu Bin said coldly, his eyes fixed on Lu Feiyan.
Lu Feiyan stepped aside, gesturing toward the door. "Since you’re refusing to work together, let’s just leave it at that. Forgive for not seeing you out. Please. Furthermore, I will be reporting your behavior today to the dia. You were in the wrong, and you must apologize!"
Wu Bin was speechless. This troublemaker... she has quite a fierce temper! Is she trying to show up?
"You, Lu!" Wu Bin finally exploded. "You’re not even famous yet, but you’re already this arrogant? Who do you think you are?"
The studio mbers trembled as his furious voice echoed. They could only wonder how what should have been a smooth collaboration had devolved into this.
"Whether or not I’m famous has nothing to do with what happened today," Lu Feiyan countered reasonably. Then, she reminded him with a slight smile, "As for your refusal to work with , I will report it truthfully to the higher-ups. How you explain yourself to them... well, that’s your problem."
Lu Feiyan’s words seed to strike a nerve. Wu Bin frowned deeply, looking as if he wanted to speak but couldn’t find the words.
This girl has a top-tier team and an absurdly large marketing budget... They’re clearly grooming her to be a superstar... Could it be that she really has powerful backing? If I offend her too deeply or let this escalate, will it just bring unnecessary trouble upon myself? But I already called her trash, unworthy of my ti. If I back down now, won’t I lose face? Won’t I look like I have no class?
"You haven’t even heard sing, yet you, the great ’creative genius,’ have already decided I’m trash," Lu Feiyan said with a dry chuckle. "If you ask , *you’re* the one who lacks professionalism and a proper attitude. Respected Mr. Wu, since you dislike this place and you dislike , then... please, leave."
"Oh, and by the way," she added coolly, "if the higher-ups ask about this, I won’t have ti to explain anything. I’m afraid you’ll have to handle the explanation yourself."
Wu Bin was speechless.
