âWhat kind of a joke is this? No one is going to get off easy from this. Do they really think I, Su Lin, am easy to bully? Even a little assistant can trample on me.â Su Lin had been slapped by an assistant, and she couldnât stand the humiliation.
Dai Wen coldly said, âSo what do you want?â
âTen minutes. Our superstarâs performance must be more than ten minutes. If not, letâs go to Xiao Qu, and see how his junior sisters are bullied.â
Dai Wen almost laughed. Who do you think you are? To get those five minutes, Qu Feitai had to make a lot of sacrifices, even squeezing time out for his own new song.
Qu Feitai was eating lunch in his separate rest area when he opened WeChat and stared at Ming Jingâs profile picture, lost in thought.
He typed something then deleted it, typed then deleted again. After repeating this several times, he became annoyed and threw his phone onto the table.
When did he become so timid?
âXiao Fei.â Tian Long opened the door and walked in.
Qu Feitai raised his eyebrows at Tian Longâs empty hands.
Tian Long had gone to buy coffee, but came back empty-handed.
âThereâs trouble outside. Su Lin and Dai Wen are arguing.â
Qu Feitai continued eating lunch
Tian Long described the whole incident concisely.
âNow Su Lin is insisting on having ten minutes of performance time, or else she wants you to help her out. Su Lin is so powerfulâ¦â Tian Long shivered at the thought.
âWhereâs Huang Chao?â Qu Feitai asked.
âI just called him. He just finished lunch with the advertisers and is on his way here.â
âThe trouble caused by him should be resolved by him,â Qu Feitai said coldly. The noise outside got louder and louder, disturbing Qu Feitaiâs rest. He directly went out.
Tian Long kept calling Huang Chao, who was driving, so no one answered the phone.
âI donât care. We agreed on ten minutes, not a second less. Itâs not like our superstar is desperate to perform at your concert. They were invited by countless groups, and itâs only because of the face of Chu Chu and Weiningâs senior brother that we agreed. Do you really think we care that much? For this concert, theyâve rejected a lot of appearancesâ¦â
âIn that case, do as you please. Dai Wen, remove their names from the concertâs guest list.â
The young manâs cold voice suddenly sounded, and everyone looked toward him.
Qu Feitai walked over with his hands in his pockets, looking cool and suave.
Su Lin was shocked, âXiao Qu, what do you mean?â
Qu Feitai raised an eyebrow, his face was smiling but his eyes were cold, making people shudder.
âIt means exactly what I said. My stage is too small to accommodate your larger- than-life personas. â
Bai Weining walked up to him with guilt written all over her face, âBrother Qu, Su Lin didnât mean it like that. You misunderstood.â
Qu Feitai didnât even look at her.
âXiao Qu, theyâre your fellow junior sisters; how can you treat them like this?â Su Lin asked.
âJunior sisters? Is that what you consider yourselves?â Qu Feitai smiled as he surveyed the room. Huang Chuchu and the others hung their heads in shame.
This was probably the first time Qu Feitai had looked straight at them, yet they didnât have the courage to meet his gaze.
Huang Chuchu almost shouted, âSister Su, donât say any more. Isnât this humiliating enough for us?â
Su Lin seldom interacted with Qu Feitai. Mainly because when Qu Feitai came to the company, he would lock himself in the recording studio to record songs, and even the boss had to schedule an appointment in advance to see him. He certainly had the air of a big celebrity.
If Huang Chao were to say that he was too indulgent with his artists, then the artist certainly sat on his head.
A good manager should restrain his artists and make them do as theyâre told.
âXiao Qu, when our girl group was invited to your concert, the companyâs leadership unanimously agreed. Are you questioning the companyâs decision? Su Lin wasnât afraid of Qu Feitai. No matter how powerful he was, he was just an artist, and his contract was still held by the company.
âIs that so?â Qu Feitai said to Tian Long, âGive me Zhang Fushanâs number.â
Su Linâs eyes widened. This artist was audacious, daring to call the CEO by his name. Clearly, Huang Chao had been too indulgent with him.
Tian Long handed Qu Feitai the number.
Qu Feitai dialed the number directly. It rang twice before being answered, and an impatient voice said, âHello? What do you want?â
âItâs me.â
The person on the other end hesitated. Then, with a startled exclamation, the tone changed to extremely careful and respectful, âTâ¦Third Young Master, what can I do for you?â
âRight, arenât you holding a concert in Jiangzhou? I wish you great success at the concertâ¦â
Qu Feitai interrupted him, âI donât know what deal you made with Huang Chao, but let me tell you, my concert doesnât need guest performers. And stop letting certain groups use my name to falsely market themselves. Itâs been done once, itâs been done twice, but there wonât be a third time. My patience is limited.â He hung up and handed the phone back to Tian Long.
Su Lin sneered. The young man had quite the attitude, daring to speak to Zhang like that. He must be tired of living. Artists were just commodities in the companyâs hands, nothing more.
At the same time, Su Linâs phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Manager Zhang. She instinctively looked at Qu Feitai, who had already turned and left, leaving the onlookers with a cold and dashing silhouette.
Bai Weining wanted to chase after him but was stopped by Tian Long, âMs. Bai, please stay here and listen to your manager.â
Bai Weining sighed as she watched Qu Feitaiâs retreating back. âPlease tell Brother Qu that even though I canât perform at his concert, Iâll be a good audience member, supporting and anticipating his spectacular performance tonight.â She made a cheering gesture, her sweet face hard to resist.â
Tian Long smiled and placated her, âAlright, Iâll tell him.â
Su Lin answered the phone, intending to accuse Qu Feitai first. However, before she could speak, the man on the other end angrily shouted, âSu Lin, what the hell did you do to piss him off? You havenât caused enough trouble for me? Are you trying to kill me?â
âManager Zhang, itâs Qu Feitai. Heâs gotten too arrogant. He suddenly changed his mind about the time we agreed uponâ¦â
The man on the other end didnât let her explain, âI donât care about all that crap. In short, Xiao Qu is upset, and Iâm calling you to straighten things out.
Why did you have to provoke him of all people? Are you trying to get me killed?â
Su Lin was speechless, âHeâs the companyâs artist. He signed a contract and should follow the companyâs arrangements. Manager Zhang, you canât have double standards for your artistsâ¦â
âDouble standards my ass! Stop your whining and bring your girl group back here now..â
