Chapter 66

Lu Cheng didn’t understand the meaning of these words, so he was startled and asked, “Wasn’t thiswritten by Shen Ruojing?”

His thoughts ran off the wrong track and his expression immediately turned unsightly. “Or is it not?Shen Ruojing, don’t tell me you copied someone else’s song. Have you gone crazy from wanting tobecome famous?”

Many people from rich families would simply spend money to build their reputation for the sake ofstarting out.

Hence, this was the first thing Lu Cheng thought about.

However, his words caused Yang Zhiqin’s lips to twitch once more. When she saw him acting like this,she somehow recalled her earlier disdain for this song.

So, she immediately felt guilty and interrupted Lu Cheng. “If my guess is correct. This song is written byTeacher Anonymous!”

“What?”

“Teacher Anonymous’s [Lone Silence]?

“God knows I’ve been yearning for it for five years!”

Lu Cheng walked over with a few major characters in the composing circle. He then grabbed the songfrom Yang Zhiqin’s hand and began to look at it.

Lu Cheng: “???”

He stared at Shen Ruojing with disbelief before looking at Yang Zhiqin once again. “You mean, s…sheis none other than the exceptionally famous Teacher Anonymous in the composing circle?”

This single sentence made everyone in the room turn and look at Shen Ruojing in unison.

Anonymous actually wasn’t referring to a single person. For many pieces of work, the creators mightsimply write the word ‘anonymous’ if they didn’t want to reveal their identity.

But many years ago, after the songs of a certain anonymous person became popular, the word‘Anonymous’ became her sole title.

When someone spoke about Anonymous, everyone understood it was referring to that person.

Everyone in the composing circle wanted to know her identity.

Yang Zhiqin carefully looked at her. “Miss Shen, is it you?”

“…”

Upon sensing that passion-filled gaze, Shen Ruojing coughed and sat up straight. She didn’t dare tolook at Yang Zhiqin and spoke, “Nope… Anonymous gave me this.”

Yang Zhiqin immediately revealed a look of doubt. “Oh?”

“Yup.” Shen Ruojing coughed. “I don’t know anything about music. Don’t look for me in the future.”

“…”

If she didn’t add the second sentence, Yang Zhiqin might have believed her. But now, Yang Zhiqin’seyes gleamed as she suddenly laughed. “Oh, okay. Teacher Shen.”

Shen Ruojing, “…” She felt that Yang Zhiqin might have realized something.

And as for Lu Cheng and the other composers, they thought they had been enlightened.

“Right, right. Didn’t I say it? Every song of Teacher Anonymous is filled with rich life experiences. Hehas reached the realm of using music to transmit his thoughts. Without decades of life experiences, noone can write such a song…”

“Teacher Anonymous is probably around forty to fifty years old based on my conservative guess. Ayoung woman like Shen Ruojing hasn’t experienced any suffering in life, so it’s impossible for her to beable to write this.”

“In addition, this song [Lone Silence]…” One of the composers was stroking his beard while appraisingit. “The lyrics make no mention of the words ‘lone’ and ‘silence’, yet when you take in everything as awhole and read between the lines, ignoring the melody, it feels like you are living in a world of mimes.The concept of this song is extremely strong…People who can write such a song must haveexperienced this type of environment before. An environment with no sound and color, no day andnight…I really can’t imagine what Teacher Anonymous had experienced before he was capable ofwriting such despairing lyrics and melody…”

When Shen Ruojing heard this, she lowered her gaze. A smile then appeared on her face as she liftedher teacup from the table.

The red tea had been brewed for quite a long time. The color was very deep, but she didn’t feel that itwas bitter.

Yang Zhiqin was lost in contemplation when she saw Shen Ruojing’s expression.

Lu Cheng at the side nodded in agreement. “Didn’t I say it before? Shen Ruojing, you’ve only learnedmusic casually when you were young before giving up. You became a negative example for all of us,so how is it possible for you to suddenly create a song? So the answer was this. Teacher Anonymousgave it to you…Wouldn’t everything be settled if you said it earlier? You made us worry for nothing.”

Shen Ruojing was preparing to say something in return, but Yang Zhiqin spoke first. She directlyberated Lu Cheng, “However, Teacher Shen has never said that she wanted your help. If it wasn’t foryou interfering, back then when I was about to sign the contract with Li Zhuo, I would have looked atthis song, and there wouldn’t have been so many troubles!”

Lu Cheng: “…”

He felt that all of this happened because he and Bro Chen were thinking too much!

Hence, he shook his head and changed the topic. “Hmm, you should make a post on Weibo to clarifythings then.”

Yang Zhiqin nodded and spoke again, “Earlier, I recorded a part of the song in the recording chamber. Ilearned from Li Zhuo and will reveal a small part of it since it is currently trending, achieving anadvertisement effect for next month’s release. Moreover, with the recorded part, we can dispel alldoubts!”

Lu Cheng: “No problem.”

Hence, ten minutes later, when everyone on the web had various conjectures, Yang Zhiqin posted anew post.

Yang Zhiqin✓: [I was busy recording a song, so my assistant didn’t dare to disturb me. Thank you MissShen for bringing me a song belonging to Teacher Anonymous—[Lone Silence]. I’ve only recorded thestarting part and will post the link for everyone to listen.]

When this update was sent on Weibo, the comment section exploded.

——My God, did I see things wrongly? Has Sister finally obtained Teacher Anonymous’s song?

——Hehe, I have not listened to it, but the feelings are already here!

——I am Teacher Anonymous’s loyal fan. I’ve listened to all her songs in the past, so I’m really filledwith anticipation for [Lone Silence]!

——I’ve finished listening and let me tell you guys, it’s f*cking good. It definitely can suppress [Lookingat the Moon and Thinking of One Far Away]!

——I will apologize. We have misunderstood her. She wasn’t bullying our Queen Qinqin, but she’shelping her to realize her dreams!

Strength was logic.

Whether a song was nice or not, the general public could give the answer immediately.

The moment [Lone Silence] was released, even if Li Zhuo personally said something, everyone wouldreplace it impossible to doubt Shen Ruojing. All rumors that were intentionally spread to attack Yang Zhiqinwould also fail and disintegrate automatically.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they saw the developments on Weibo.

Shen Ruojing then stood up and prepared to leave, but at this moment, the assistant suddenlyexclaimed, “Li Zhuo and Jin Chi`en made a reply!”

Shen Ruojing glanced at the assistant’s mobile phone.

Li Zhuo✓: [Sorry, I caused a misunderstanding before I was clear about the situation. Let me wishTeacher Yang Zhiqin well in advance. Here is to hoping your song will obtain the top ranking on thefemale chart next month! I also anticipate Teacher Jin Chi`en’s song to top the male chart, so we canachieve a scenario where both our heavenly king and heavenly queen top the charts!

“F*ck!” Yang Zhiqin cursed. “Why is Jin Chi`en so shameless? This is clearly trying to link himself withmy popularity. Even if I topped the female chart, how could it be the same as him topping the malechart? Tell me what Jin Chi`en has posted!”

The assistant quickly clicked on Jin Chi`en’s Weibo’s page.

Jin Chi`en✓: [I left Royal Ocean and decided to go solo. During these years, my only regret is that Ididn’t manage to bring my good brother Jing Zhen to soar to the peak together. If you still wish to sing, Iwill surely accompany you all the way.]

Many comments could be seen below.

——Only after seeing this post did I remember that Bro Jin debuted as a duo with someone namedJing Zhen. Where did Jing Zhen go all these years? Why is there no news of him?

——He went to act…but all his roles were extras!

——I heard that it is hard to make money in the singing industry so he changed to acting instead. Hedidn’t persevere in his dreams, so his love for music isn’t as pure as Jin Chi`en.

——Will he still come back and sing?

——Those years ago, Bro Jin was the one carrying him when they both sang as a group. Jing Zhenswapped to acting because his singing couldn’t make it. So how is it possible for him to return? @JingZhen, do you still dare to come back and sing? Why don’t you have a pk with our Bro Jin next month?

——He definitely won’t dare! Those years ago, he wasn’t popular at all, so he probably couldn’t survivein the industry. In the entertainment circle, other than depending on luck, strength is the more importantthing. Back then, he only depended on his looks. He isn’t capable at all…

——Leaving aside whether he is capable or not, even if he wanted to sing, would anyone be willing towrite a song for him? Can he take out a masterpiece like [Looking at the Moon and Thinking of One FarAway]? Unless…Teacher Anonymous is in Royal Ocean Entertainment!

Lu Chen frowned and looked at Shen Ruojing. “They are too shameless. They purposely emphasizedtopping the ranks individually in the male and female chart to avoid going against Teacher Yang. Whatshould we do now? Even if I believe in your father’s singing skills, we won’t be able to replace any goodsongs in such a short time!”

Shen Ruojing glanced down and had a calm expression on her face. However, those who were familiarwith her knew that she was a little angry.

She suddenly sighed. “Who says that we cannot take out any good songs?”
