Becoming a great entertainer started with being cyberbullied.

Lu Wenxin glared at Fang Ruoxi.

She didn't say anything, but her eyes seemed to say everything.

Lu Wenxin's thin hands trembled slightly involuntarily.

She first haphazardly tidied the table with her hands, messing up the neat surface, and then awkwardly smoothed her sideburns.

"...Did Geng Bin send you?" Lu Wenxin asked Fang Ruoxi cautiously.

Fang Ruoxi did not answer the question directly, but instead asked, "Have you seen how Geng Bin has been doing all these years?"

Lu Wenxin's lips pursed into a straight line, and her eyes hurriedly looked away, not daring to meet Fang Ruoxi's gaze.

Fang Ruoxi said slowly, "I went to see him, and he's not doing well."

"He must have been drinking heavily for the past ten years or so."

With each word she spoke, Lu Wenxin's back seemed to bend a little more.

It felt as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on her heart.

Fang Ruoxi concluded by saying, "As a singer, I can see that Geng Bin is very passionate about music."

"He loved music more than himself. So I find it hard to believe that a pure artist could do so many morally reprehensible things."

Lu Wenxin stared at Fang Ruoxi's face and asked, "Just because of this, you think everything in the news reports is fake?"

Fang Ruoxi said frankly, "That's why I came here to see you, to ask you the truth."

Lu Wenxin leaned on the edge of the table and slowly sat down in a chair nearby.

Fang Ruoxi thought she was going to say something.

However, Lu Wenxin paused for a moment and said wearily, "If Geng Bin wants justice, then let him come to me himself. I won't say a word to anyone else."

"The door is over there, please go ahead."

Fang Ruoxi could tell that Lu Wenxin definitely wouldn't say anything to her, so she left quietly.

After leaving the house, she called Zou Rong.

"Hello, Mr. Zou."

Zou Rong was in the recording studio watching Chen Hong and Li Ming record their song, and right now he was grinning from ear to ear. "Oh~ Grandma, what do you say~"

Fang Ruoxi: "..."

"I just met with Mr. Lu's daughter at the National Conservatory of Music. There may be more to the story regarding Geng Bin."

She then gave a brief account of what had just happened.

Zou Rong is a very competent businessman.

He wouldn't do a deal that was guaranteed to lose money.

But how could a shrewd businessman refuse a deal that could turn the tide and make a fortune?

After hearing Fang Ruoxi's words, Zou Rong's attitude changed completely. "Hey, then Geng Bin's biggest stain can be washed away! Wait a minute, I'll go talk to Sister Yuan about it!"

When he got excited, he spoke so fast it was like a machine gun, and Fang Ruoxi couldn't get a word in edgewise.

"Hey! I'll call you later! Don't worry, if it's really possible, I'll personally take care of it, no matter if Geng Bin is a stubborn mule or not! I'll get him for you!"

Then the call was disconnected.

The car that the company provided for Fang Ruoxi was parked in the parking lot at the north gate of the National Conservatory of Music.

Before leaving, Fang Ruoxi said goodbye to Chai Jingqiong and Han Qiurong. She checked her watch and saw that it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

The driver, Lao Song, was a retired soldier. He wasn't talkative, but he was a very kind person. He brought her a boxed lunch.

Fang Ruoxi ate a quick bite in the car and then returned to the company.

Li Ming and Chen Hong have already recorded the first demo, with Shen Qiu handling the arrangement. Fang Ruoxi was very satisfied with the demo.

Indeed, as Zou Rong said, Shenqiu is the No.1 in the domestic music arrangement industry.

Tianyin would rather be an enemy of such a genius than change the drawbacks of the family business, which means they are destined to part ways.

It's dinner time.

Zou Rong ordered a large table of fine wine and dishes, almost right on time.

After finishing their meal, Chen Hong and Li Ming had to rush to record a song, so they could only eat light food and only ate until they were about 50% full in order to perform well.

Talented singers are common, but those who are talented and can maintain self-discipline for ten years are one in a million.

Especially in the entertainment industry, people with such frightening self-discipline as Fang Ruoxi are almost extinct.

While having dinner with Chen Hong, Li Ming couldn't help but do a couple of 'Tai Chi' moves to try and gather intelligence.

"Brother Li, how's the progress? I have a high note that's really hard to sing, ugh, it's driving me crazy."

Fang Ruoxi looked up at Chen Hong, who was pretending to be troubled.

She had just listened to Chen Hong's high notes, and the quality was spot on. One high note was so powerful that it gave her goosebumps.

Li Ming smiled modestly, "This song looks simple, but Ruoxi wants that 'flavor'. Sigh, it's a tough situation."

Fang Ruoxi: "..." Who was it that almost completely crushed the original singer in the first round of audition?

She watched speechlessly as the two superstars schemed against each other.

On the other side, Zou Rong had his arm around Shen Cheng's neck.

"Hey! Bro! I can tell you're incredibly talented! Come on! Let me toast you!"

Shen Cheng: "?" He looked at Zou Rong warily.

Zou Rong tilted his head back and downed a glass of 48-proof liquor.

At the dinner table, men share an unspoken understanding.

If the two people at the table are superior and subordinate, they will be even more "in sync" when it comes to drinking.

Shen Cheng picked up his wine glass, tilted his head back, and downed it in one gulp.

Upon seeing this, Zou Rong immediately added, "Hey, brother, we've been through thick and thin together, haven't we?"

"drink!"

"We're like a discerning eye and a talented horse! Cheers!"

After drinking half a jin of liquor, it became clear that Zou Rong was intentionally getting Shen Cheng drunk.

Fang Ruoxi: "?"

Li Ming and Chen Hong were in a hurry to release a new song; otherwise, they would have stayed to watch the fun.

Only Fang Ruoxi watched helplessly as Zou Rong forced Shen Qiu to drink a pound and a half of baijiu.

After downing three jin of baijiu (a type of Chinese liquor), Zou Rong remained completely calm, while on the other hand, in Shenqiu…

Shen Qiu: "Aba aba..."

Zou Rong poured him another glass, saying, "Hey, let's call each other brothers, no need to mention fathers."

Shen Qiu: "*%@! Glug glug..." He was forced to drink another cup.

Fang Ruoxi: "..." She raised her hand and tapped the table a few times.

Boom, boom, boom.

He gestured to Zou Rong, indicating that there were still good people watching, and told him not to go too far.

Zou Rong had already swung his tie over his shoulder when he heard the noise and saw Fang Ruoxi. "Hey! Ruoxi, he's drunk enough now, let's start interrogating this kid!"

Fang Ruoxi almost thought Zou Rong was also drunk, otherwise why would he be talking nonsense?

However, Zou Rong may not have developed much else in his circle of rich kids, but he certainly did develop a high alcohol tolerance.

Shen Qiu was almost passed out from drinking; he was only slightly tipsy.

Zou Rongyi said sternly, "In everything you do, you must know yourself and your enemy."

He appealed to her emotions and reasoned with her, saying, "Grandma, you saw it yourself that day. Geng Bin has such a bad temper, he's such a stubborn mule!"

"From a superstar in the public eye to a slovenly drunkard, he's fallen so low, yet he still acts tough."

"You're convinced he's good and want him to sing? Hey, I think he's pretty good now too, and I'm planning to sign him and make money off him."

"But these are just our ideas; they wouldn't even give them a second thought!"

"So, we need to find a breakthrough, strike hard, and take him down!" After saying that, he pointed at Shen Qiu, who was hugging a sofa cushion with a dazed look in his eyes.

'Breakthrough' Shen Qiu: "Aba aba..."

Fang Ruoxi: "Shen Qiu?"

Indeed, it was Shen Qiu who came to Tianyin seeking their help.

It was Shen Qiu who brought the 'star' that fell 11 years ago to her.

Perhaps we can start by addressing some issues from Shenqiu.

Fang Ruoxi got up and sat down next to Shen Qiu.

"Shen Qiu, how did you meet Geng Bin?"

Shen Qiu was a beat slow to react.

"prison……"

Fang Ruoxi: "..."

Zou Rong closed his eyes briefly, then opened them and smiled at Fang Ruoxi, "Sister, we definitely have to wash this person, right?"
