Chapter 57

The two stared at each other in silence for a few minutes, finally, Zhou Yun Sheng put down the cigar and said, “Um, sorry. I ruined your cigar, I’ll buy you another box.”

The young man blushed, his eyes slightly teary. He looked extremely embarrassed, but very cute.

Sun Xi Mu’s mouth twitched, he waved, “Never mind.” He moved the cigar to the ashtray.

“You said you have evidence? Can you show me?”

“Yes.”

Zhou Yun Sheng quickly handed him a disk.

Sun Xi Mu pushed it into the port and played the video. In the end of the video, the young man was lying on the bed, choking back tears, grieving for the loss of his loved one.

Zhou Yun Sheng’s eyes reddened, he bowed his head and wiped at his renewed tears.

Sun Xi Mu was expressionless from beginning to end, but when he talked, his tone was noticeably softer, “How do you want me to help you?”

“I want to have a concert, free tickets. I’ll invest 50 million. I want Huanya Group to be responsible for the publicity, venues, security and other matters. In the concert, I’ll release this video and clear my and my father’s name …”

Sun Xi Mu waved and interrupted him, “I’m sorry for cutting you off, but how do you intend to clear yours and Ou Bai’s name? This video isn’t enough. Do you plan to sing those songs that have your name on them, but were written by Lin Siqing? I don’t think the audience would buy it.”

Zhou Yun Sheng froze, he quickly took out a package and handed it over, “I want to sing my own songs, new songs, no one has heard them yet. Chief Sun, I can hold up this concert, please believe me. Although it’s very hasty to set this up in just one month, but with Huanya Entertainment Group’s strength, it’s not impossible. Please listen to the songs, afterwards, decide whether to help me.”

The man’s expression was very sincere and his hanging tears showed strong helplessness.

Sun Xi Mu considered for a moment, then he finally pushed the disc into the computer.

While he seriously listened, Zhou Yun Sheng stared at the cigar in a daze. Whether it was appearance, height, temperament, or hobbies, Sun Xi Mu was very similar to his lover. But he could only be certain that they were the same person after intimate contact.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yun Sheng frowned in annoyance. Does he really have to rely on kissing? Doesn’t that make him a kissing maniac? He sounds like a pervert!

If he was really his lover then he’d naturally be very happy, but if not, their cooperation would crumble. Plus, it’s rumored that Sun Xi Mu was a neat freak, he hated it when strangers got close to him.

Zhou Yun Sheng was trapped in his tangled thoughts. He unconsciously caressed his lips, kneading his lips from pink to red, they looked very tempting.

Sun Xi Mu was seemingly focusing on the songs, but in reality, he was secretly observing the other man.  Looking at his rubbing action, his eyes slightly darkened, and he suddenly felt very thirsty.

After listening to the songs, he suppressed the commotion in his heart and stretched out his hand, “Come back tomorrow morning. I’ll introduce you to the concert staff. Let’s have a pleasant cooperation.”

Zhou Yun Sheng was overjoyed, he quickly shook his hand and repeatedly expressed his gratitude, then he hurriedly got up and left.

After he left, Sun Xi Mu leaned back in his leather chair for a moment, then he picked up the cigar, lit it and sucked. For some reason, the cigar was mellower and more intoxicating than any cigar he’d ever smoked.

The next day, Zhou Yun Sheng came to Huanya Entertainment Group early in the morning. Just as the Chief said, he was introduced to C Country’s top music producer, Qin Taihe. Qin Taihe had seen the evidence video and had heard the ten new songs, so his attitude with Zhou Yun Sheng wasn’t accusatory.

“Since Chief Sun is planning to cooperate with you, our company couldn’t refuse. The song ‘Because Of You’ was indeed stolen from you by Lin Siqing, but as far as I know, all the songs in your previous albums were written by him. Is that right?” Qin Taihe unceremoniously questioned.

“Y-yes, but that doesn’t mean I’m not talented, I just hadn’t found my own way at that time.” Zhou Yun Sheng blushed.

“We’ll know whether or not you have talent after the test. You’re involved in a plagiarism incident, if we help you, our Group’s reputation will be greatly affected. We have to be careful.” Qin Taihe pointed to the piano in the practice room. “Please adapt Mozart’s Symphony No.40 for the pop charts. Your goal is to impress me and all those present in the room.”

Making an impromptu song was difficult, but it was even more difficult to adapt music. Too much deviation would destroy the original’s essence, and the new song will become the lowest work of art.

Zhou Yun Sheng looked up, the CEO, the concert director, a well-known producer, choreographer, and several high-level brokers were watching. They had very high status in the industry and were all famously hard to please. It was almost an impossible task to impress them all.\nSorry for the delay.
