I'm busking on the streets with my kid, and my domineering CEO is helping me break into the mus

"If you can guide me in singing and teach me songwriting, I'm willing to become your student!"

Feng Xin added further details.

Yang Xue was somewhat surprised, never expecting the other party to say that.

Not only her, but even her secretary Zhuang Siyu was completely bewildered.

What's going on with my boss? Why did the collaboration turn into a master-apprentice relationship?

Feng Xin downed her tea in one gulp, stood up, and said very solemnly:

"Sister Yang, I was ignorant and presumptuous before."

"I didn't know you had such great energy."

I hope you can forgive my impudence.

After she finished speaking, she bowed deeply to Yang Xue, who was sitting opposite her.

Yang Xue frowned, wondering why the other party was being so humble for their own purposes.

After all, there was a full five-year age difference between him and the other person.

Compared to Yang Xue's confusion, Zhuang Siyu was even more shocked.

She knows her boss well.

Despite Feng Xin's arrogance and less-than-likable personality, she possesses a stubborn streak that makes it virtually impossible for her to truly yield.

Even her previous apology was due to pressure and coercion from those in power.

But today, it seems the boss is serious.

Yang Xue stared at Feng Xin for two seconds, her tone indifferent:

"Trust between people is built over time."

"Given our past experiences, I have no reason to believe you when you suddenly start telling me these things."

"I appreciate your apology, but please refrain from any apprenticeship proposals; they sound rather intimidating."

After Yang Xue finished speaking, she wanted to leave, as she felt something was off about the place.

Feng Xin said sincerely:

"Miss Yang, I know you don't believe me."

"But since you're already here, can you let me finish what I have to say?"

"This time I've really given in."

Seeing that the other person didn't seem to be lying, Yang Xue sat down.

Her expression remained unchanged, but her words were full of vigilance.

"I'll listen to what you have to say first."

"If I find even one sentence problematic, I will not give you any further chance to speak."

Feng Xin nodded, took a deep breath, and began to recount those events from back then.

Yang Xue had already gleaned insights into her memories through her ability to travel through time.

Therefore, she can deduce whether Feng Xin is lying based on the information she has.

Whether it's becoming an apprentice or cooperating, she can't let her guard down as a former enemy.

Just then, the waiter brought out all the dishes.

Juxianlou was originally a state-owned restaurant, but after it became privately owned, it added the tea ceremony to its menu.

The dishes are a blend of northern and southern Chinese cuisines, with a focus on light and fresh flavors. Regardless of whether they taste good or not, they are very visually appealing.

To bolster her courage, Feng Xin also ordered a bottle of 53-degree Maotai-flavor liquor.

Yang Xue looked at the menu and realized that the price of the wine alone was enough to cover the cost of a whole table of dishes.

"Sister Xin is amazing, she brings her own stories and her own drinks."

Yang Xue silently complained to herself.

I was hungry, so I decided to eat while listening.

Feng Xin didn't pick up any food, but poured a full glass for Yang Xue and herself.

Half-full tea and full wine is an old custom.

Immediately afterwards, she took a swig of her drink and recounted in detail her love story with her ex-boyfriend, her pursuit of her dreams in the music industry, and the loss of both love and dreams.

Their experiences were roughly the same as what Yang Xue saw in the world of consciousness.

The difference is that Feng Xin includes more descriptions of her romance with her boyfriend.

The man named Sun Ruinan was her classmate at the music academy. They had been together for four years and had a very deep relationship.

However, the other party comes from a prestigious family and has a rather domineering personality.

In contrast, Feng Xin came from a poor family, but she was equally strong-willed and domineering.

The two often argued because of their differing stances.

Sun Ruinan's family is from Southeast Asia. After graduation, he wanted to bring Feng Xin back home with him to inherit the family business.

Feng Xin has her own musical dreams and wants to make her family live a prosperous life through her own efforts.

That year was the peak of her fame, so the two had a serious disagreement about whether to stay or leave.

In the end, Feng Xin resolutely chose to pursue her dream.

Even if she wins the championship first and then tries to win back her love, her life will not have been in vain.

But Feng Xin was too naive back then; she really thought she could be like the characters on TV.

Harboring inspiring dreams, they create legends through sweat and hard work.

Just before the competition, the organizers came and subtly pressured her to choose between elimination and second place.

Back then, she had no connections, no background, only popularity and talent.

It would be easy for capital to mess with her.

In retrospect, that was the only time Feng Xin ever gave in.

In order not to be looked down upon by her boyfriend, she chose to compromise.

Ultimately, however, neither her career nor her love life developed as she had hoped.

Having seen through the true nature of the entertainment industry, Feng Xin chose to give up entirely.

Without a powerful backer, one is no better than dog shit.

In order to gain fame and status, she sold her body and soul for more than ten years.

She knew, amidst all the scandals, that the purest love was drifting further and further away from her.

But deep down, Feng Xin harbored a girlish dream, and behind her negativity lurked a strong, simmering anger.

At this moment, Feng Xin's cheeks were flushed, and she was already showing signs of intoxication.

As the liquor went down her throat again, her heart gradually opened up to Yang Xue.

Yang Xue felt a pity for the woman in front of her.

Although she had a bad temper, Yang Xue admired her unyielding stubbornness.

"Just as you told me back then."

"The water here is indeed very deep."

Even if you have resources and connections today, you still can't take back everything you've lost.

Yang Xue offered a sincere word of comfort.

Even with Fu Qingyang's background, if I participated, I could only get the runner-up at best.

Moreover, this applies to has-been internet celebrities like Feng Xin.

Feng Xin gave a wry smile and replied:

"Heh, of course I knew this would happen..."

"But I won't give up!"

By this time, Feng Xin had drunk quite a bit of alcohol, and her cheeks were flushed.

"Oh dear, sis, please don't drink anymore."

Seeing that she still wanted to drink, Zhuang Siyu stood up to persuade her while trying to take the wine glass from her side.

Feng Xin waved her hand and shouted:

"Don't worry about me, Sister Yang is listening to me!"

Yang Xue looked at Feng Xin quietly, without neglecting her because of her drunkenness.

At this moment, the alcohol was taking effect, her eyes reddened, and she said to Yang Xue in a hoarse voice:

"I'm not trying to take anything back..."

"I just want to go back to that stage and get back the face and backbone I lost."

"I also want to tell Sun Ruinan that I fucking haven't given in! I haven't been defeated!"

"This time, I will not be a spineless coward!"

Waaaaaah~~~~~~~

After saying all this, Feng Xin could no longer suppress her emotions.

That woman, who used to be so proud, burst into tears when she was overwhelmed with emotion.

Yang Xue did not laugh at or despise Feng Xin for her loss of composure.

She just stared at him silently, feeling an overwhelming sense of sorrow.

"Ha, this guy... what he said makes me feel really uncomfortable."

"Damn it, I wanted to talk to you about interests, but you're talking to me about feelings."

Immediately afterwards, Yang Xue silently picked up her wine glass and took a big gulp.

Although it wasn't her first time drinking it, the spicy taste still made her cough repeatedly.

The strong liquor burned her throat and chest, causing her immense discomfort.

But this feeling actually balanced out the mental anguish.

After suppressing her pity for Feng Xin, Yang Xue, now fully conscious, said in a deep voice:

"I can grant your request."

"However, we need to agree on three rules!"

When Feng Xin heard Yang Xue speak, she mustered her spirits and adopted a serious and earnest expression.

Yang Xue stared at Feng Xin's red eyes.

"First of all, my asking price is very high!"

"Secondly, if you harbor any ill intentions, I will never tolerate you, no matter where you are in the world!"

Upon hearing "second," Feng Xin couldn't help but swallow.

Yang Xue's aura was somewhat intimidating when she said this.

"third,...."
