Rebirth from the Ash Chapter 502 - Not Taking Someone Else’s Word For it

Chapter 502: Not Taking Soone Else’s Word For it

No further reply was heard from Su. It was only a transaction of money for service between a buyer and a seller. There was not much to talk about.

Looking at the song Su Muyan sent over, Shen Xi knew they would pick this particular song. Nevertheless, all the songs, except for this one, were originals. These one-minute originals were a ploy to confuse them.

The song Su Muyan picked was downloaded from a niche pay-per-stream platform. Although it had a nice and catchy tune to it, the song was not mind-blowing. Still, it had its uniqueness.

Shen Xi searched high and low for two days to finally choose this song. The creator was intellectually handicapped but had a unique talent in music.

There was only one song uploaded and it was recent. It had not gathered much attention with less than a thousand clicks and downloads at less than fifty. Shen Xi asked Yuan Yu to contact the creator, but there had not been any news so far.

It would be a sha to lose such a unique talent. If the creator was willing, Shen Xi could hire them to work under Cosmos Entertainnt. If signing onto a company was not their cup of tea, Shen Xi would consider a long-term partnership to buy their songs.

Since finding out that Mr. Yun Xiao was Mr. Xixi, Su Muyan had been trying to reach out, engage, collaborate with, and win over him.

Sadly, nothing seed to work with Mr. Xixi. No matter what he did, Mr. Xixi remained indifferent. Running out of ideas, he took comfort in the fact that the other ntors made zero breakthroughs too.

It was the sa for Su Ruowan as well. The day after settling on a song, she would appear occupied with the lyrics during breaks and would ask Mr. Xixi of his opinion. She was pissed to tears by his single comnt that it was good.

However, the other trainees were envious of Mr. Xixi’s attitude to Su Ruowan. They knew that Su Ruowan was outstanding and more talented than any of them. Still, it was a lot of people’s dream to be praised by Mr. Xixi.

Many may think so, but not everyone. He Lu and others who were close to Su Ruowan had their suspicions that Mr. Xixi was not fond of Su Ruowan and was simply fobbing her off.

Sure, Su Ruowan had skills, but she was no Mr. Xixi. Everyone in the entertainnt world, much less her, paled in comparison to Mr. Xixi.

He Lu had just got pointers from Mr. Xixi when she ran into Su Ruowan on her way back. Noticing the music score in Su Ruowan’s hand, He Lu eagerly held her arm. “Wanwan, are you looking for Mr. Xixi? I want to co with you!”

Su Ruowan grinned. “You should carry on with your training. I can head there myself.”

“I’m not busy at all. I’ll go with you.” He Lu was not going to miss the drama. While walking, she relayed the detailed advice she got from Mr. Xixi and added her spin to it.

Su Ruowan may appear unfazed on the surface, but inside, jealousy was brewing. She could not fathom why Mr. Xixi would do this to her. What did she do wrong for Mr. Xixi to single her out?

Still, she put on a brave face and ditched her dignity to co looking for him.

This was Mr. Xixi they were talking about. So long as she could win Mr. Xixi’s favor, Su Ruowan would sooner or later climb to great heights in the music industry just like Qi Xiu.

Hence, no matter how much Mr. Xixi disliked her, made things difficult for her, or had a problem with her, Su Ruowan must bear with it and persevere. Soon, Mr. Xixi would be able to see the effort and good in her, subsequently accepting her and taking her under his wing.

Muyan said the song she picked was great and good enough to perform on the main stage. Mr. Xixi was bound to speak highly of the song.

Su Ruowan managed to finish the lyrics at last just so Mr. Xixi could take a look at her skills. This was the day Mr. Xixi would see her in a new light.

He Lu was walking with Su Ruowan to the studio where Mr. Xixi was before she was called away by one of the trainees. Even though she was disappointed to miss the drama, she had to leave because Ms. Xia Mi was looking for her.

Traumatized by Mr. Xixi’s attitude, Su Ruowan was reluctant to look for him. While fast approaching her destination, she caught a glimpse of Mr. Xixi coming out of the studio and heading in the opposite direction of the corridor. She picked up the pace to catch up.

Since the trainees were undergoing training in their respective studios during this ti, there was not a soul in the corridors.

“Mr. Xixi,” Su Ruowan drew close and cried.

Shen Xi turned back to find Su Ruowan jogging toward her. She nodded in the face of Su Ruowan’s docile and ingratiating smile.

“Mr. Xixi, I composed this. If I could trouble you to take a look.” Su Ruowan nervously and expectantly handed her music score over.

Instead of accepting the music score, Shen Xi blurted a cold reply, “I’m off duty.”

It was a bitter pill for Su Ruowan to swallow as she awkwardly chuckled. “Can I buy a bit of your ti for a quick comnt?”

Shen Xi answered, “No.”

She then turned around to leave, callously and heartlessly.

Rage brought tears to Su Ruowan’s eyes. Clutching the music score in her hands, Su Ruowan chased after Mr. Xixi before her emotional burden began to overflow. Since it was better to get to the bottom of the issue than continue to be in the dark, she cut to the chase. “Mr. Xixi, what did I do wrong to deserve this treatnt?”

Shen Xi was amused by her questioning. What did she do wrong? Everything. Su Ruowan should know better than to ask such a pathetic question.

With Mr. Xixi refusing to even look back, Su Ruowan ran after him as bitter and raging tears stread down her cheeks. “You must be lying when you said you didn’t know Shen Xi. You’re doing this to

because of her.”

She had nothing to lose now that things were not getting anywhere. Rather than be tornted, trying to figure out the reason behind his aloof and perfunctory attitude, it was best to straighten it out.

Shen Xi was diverted. ‘Excuse , but I am Shen Xi.’

Su Ruowan resentfully clenched her fists, having determined that Mr. Xixi knew Shen Xi. Shen Xi must have badmouthed her to him for Mr. Xixi to treat her as such. Su Ruowan added. “Mr. Xixi, I trust that soone of your wits and status, you won’t just take soone else’s word for it. I can tell you my side of the story if you let .”

Shen Xi refused to cast her a glance or give her the ti of the day. Tsk tsk. When it ca to having no boundaries, Su Ruowan reigned number one. Su Ruowan would take on anyone who was against her.
