The agent couldn't lie to himself. It was another sign of rejection, not that the man really had something on at the last minute.

He smiled bitterly and looked at Shi Jin. "Ms. Shi, why don't you go back?"

He did not blame Shi Jin for this matter. Indeed, there was nothing convincing about these two artistes. The two of them were completely not competitive. This was a huge taboo in the entertainment industry. However, would snatching it necessarily lead to results? Not necessarily.

Shi Jin said, "Let me call and replace out."

She pulled out her phone and was about to call Yao Jiahong when he called first.

"Brother Yao, what's going on with 'Heavenly Dragon'?"

"I'm sorry, Shi Jin. I've already told Manager Wang that this endorsement will definitely be given to the person you designated. I've also shown them the video you gave them. They both approve of their image. However, Zeng Guangzhi interfered and pushed Fan Yueqi and Lu Feng to them. Heavenly Dragon has also explained to me that Fan Yueqi and Lu Feng are participating in a major IP production. The possibility of them becoming famous is very high, so the company has decided to give them the resources. I've already done my best."

"Forget it, it's not your fault. It's fine. Let's talk about it next time." Shi Jin could tell that Zeng Guangzhi was a person who relied on his big IP to interfere and snatch things.

Previously, they had even snatched actors. Now, they were snatching business resources. They could not wait to get everything good into his hands.

Shi Jin wanted to see how much more he could snatch.

Shi Jin held the phone and looked at them apologetically. "Sorry, this resource was intercepted."

Jian Liang heard the displeasure in her voice and quickly comforted her. "It's fine. It's just an advertisement endorsement. There's still a next time."

"That's right. Forget it. Go back and get some rest," the agent said, also standing.

The four of them sat in the car on the way back. No one spoke.

The atmosphere seemed to freeze.

The agent saw Shi Jin off first. When she got out of the car, Jian Liang gave her a big smile. "Have an early night. Good night."

"Yeah, sure." Shi Jin waved at them.

Because of this, Shi Jin was not in a good mood.

However, she had never brought the worries and bad moods of work into the house. Before she went through the door, she adjusted her breathing and entered Orchid Pavilion.

It had only been a day since this incident. For a moment, Shi Jin could not think of any good resources that could be pushed to Xiao Ming and Jian Liang to help them in their careers. However, she received another call.

It was the record producer who had helped Xiao Ming and Jian Liang record the song.

"Shi Jin, it's like this. Last time, didn't I post a demo version of the two songs, Knowing Autumn and Without Grandeur? Now, two gaming companies have approached me and asked if I have the complete version. They want to ask me for the copyright to make the theme song. I can't reveal anything to them either. See if you want to meet them or chat?"

"Okay. Which two games are they?"

"I'll send it to you on WeChat right away," the recorder said.

There were two new WeChat messages on Shi Jin's phone.

She looked down and saw that one of the companies the record producer had sent over was Heavenly Dragon. The contact was Manager Wang. Isn't that a coincidence?

She immediately added Manager Wang and told him to meet her at the hotel tonight.

After looking at WeChat, Manager Wang said in a low voice, "So it's Shi Jin. No wonder the quality of this music is so high. Not bad."

Zeng Guangzhi, who was sitting opposite him, immediately felt his heart skip a beat. "It's Shi Jin? I remember that you guys have already considered people from her production team?"

"They're just colleagues from the same production team as her. They don't have much to do with her. She's just an ordinary artiste in Yao Jiahong's hands. These things don't involve her," Manager Wang said. "It's better to talk to her personally about this music. I don't believe she doesn't want to make so much money."

"There are so many singers and music. Why do we have to talk to her?" Zeng Guangzhi looked down on Shi Jin. She was just an entertainer. How capable could she be?

"Well, it can't be helped. The head of the design department listened to that music and insisted on those two pieces. He even said that he could buy the fifteen seconds and play them on a loop. I don't even know how that music has that much magic."

In the evening, Shi Jin arranged to have dinner with Xiao Ming and Jian Liang in the hotel.

After everyone became familiar with each other, it was quite normal for them to eat together often.

Although Xiao Ming and Jian Liang were not as famous as Shi Jin, they were still generous and neither servile nor overbearing.

After the meal, Jian Liang rubbed her sore shoulders and said, "Why don't we go for a massage? My treat."

"Later," Shi Jin said. "I have to meet a friend."

"Shall we excuse ourselves, then?"

"No just stay here," Shi Jin said calmly and put the phone aside.

The table she'd chosen for dinner tonight was on the second floor by the window. From here, she could see down into the hotel lobby.

"While you're at it, I'll treat you all to another good show."

Jian Liang and Xiao Ming did not know what the show was but when they saw Shi Jin smiling with a hint of sarcasm, they could not help looking down with interest.

Yao Jiahong was sitting on the sofa on the first floor. No one knew when he'd arrived.

Jian Liang eyed his position curiously.

A moment later, a short, fat, middle-aged man arrived in front of Yao Jiahong.

"That's Manager Wang from the publicity department of Heavenly Dragon. He wants to discuss something important with me tonight," Shi Jin said.

"Aren't you going to see him, then?" Jian Liang asked.

"Have you forgotten how he treated us last time?" Shi Jin asked with a smile.

Jian Liang instantly remembered. She stopped talking and concentrated on looking downstairs.

When Manager Wang saw Yao Jiahong, he extended his hand and said, "Mr. Yao, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Hello, Manager Wang." Yao Jiahong shook his hand lightly.

"I'm looking for Shi Jin today because I have something to discuss with her." Manager Wang looked around. "I wonder if Shi Jin is around?"

"Oh, Shi Jin is seeing an important guest. You may not see her tonight."

These words were exactly the same as what the young lady at the front desk had said.

Manager Wang immediately understood that they had encountered a tricky situation tonight.

He smiled apologetically. "Mr. Yao, I'm really sorry about last time. I didn't expect it to be like that. I was under orders from above. It wasn't easy to disobey."

Yao Jiahong had already asked around. It was entirely his personal decision to endorse Zeng Guangzhi's artist. It had nothing to do with anyone else. This kind of lie could only fool others.

'Really?' Yao Jiahong stared down at him.

"It's true. My position looks glamorous, but I actually have a lot to worry about," Manager Wang said. "Look, isn't it the same this time? The higher-ups want to use Shi Jin's songs, so I have to meet with you guys."

"Oh," Yao Jiahong replied indifferently. "Then wait here if you want. I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you, Manager Wang."
