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

After Yang Xue comforted her, Zhu Yan finally opened up.

Zhu Yan's experience is somewhat similar to Yang Xue's; both of them encountered unsuitable partners in their romantic relationships, but Zhu Yan's experience was even more tragic.

Because of that terrible experience, Zhu Yan hoped that Yang Xue would quit while she was ahead, as it was better than ending up losing both her money and her lover, and being left battered and bruised.

Although Qian Lang was not a good person, at least the other party could provide him with material security.

But what about her? Not only did she lose both her money and her lover, she also inexplicably bore the brunt of public criticism for years.

Listening to Zhu Yan's description, Yang Xue became even more curious about what she had gone through.

With Yang Xue's comforting words, Zhu Yan sadly recounted the past.

After graduation, Zhu Yan met a street performer while job hunting.

After chatting for a while, Zhu Yan learned that the other person was a singer from an online media company named Lin Fan.

Because of their similar experiences, the two got along very well and eventually became boyfriend and girlfriend.

His team is currently operating an account called "Wandering Singer".

The boss was the short-haired man Yang Xue had met before, and also Lin Fan's childhood friend, Jiang Xiaolong.

For taking a knife for a gangster, Jiang Xiaolong received a substantial settlement fee and started this media company.

To help her boyfriend in his career, Zhu Yan quit her job and became a live streamer at a company.

In the early stages of their business, the three of them worked together as one, supporting each other and forming a deep bond.

The "street singer" Lin Fan has gained considerable fame in the commercial street thanks to his singing and piano skills.

At its peak, the event attracted nearly a thousand fans, and the account had millions of followers.

Just when everything was going well, Lin Fan developed a gambling addiction, accumulating a lot of debt and having affairs with several female anchors.

Zhu Yan and Jiang Xiaolong repeatedly tried to persuade him to get back on the right track.

But while the other party outwardly agrees, they continue to do as they please behind the scenes.

Later on, he even embezzled public funds for gambling.

Enraged, Jiang Xiaolong attacked him, escalating the conflict between the two.

Ultimately, Lin Fan, burdened with a mountain of gambling debts, betrayed the company and absconded with a huge sum of money.

He also took the 300,000 yuan that Zhu Yan had saved up to marry him, and left without looking back.

The company has incurred a huge financial deficit and also faces substantial liability for breach of contract.

At the time, Zhu Yan was four months pregnant and, in a state of emotional collapse, chose to commit suicide.

Fortunately, Jiang Xiaolong rescued her in time, but the baby could not be saved.

As if things weren't bad enough, a rumor started circulating wildly within the company, which was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Jiang Xiaolong and Zhu Yan had been having an affair for a long time, and Lin Fan was forced away by the two of them.

Rumors were the final straw that broke the camel's back, and Jiang Xiaolong chose to disband his team.

Only a small number of veterans were willing to follow Jiang Xiaolong into debt.

Lin Fan left behind not only his silhouette, but also a huge hole.

...

Yang Xue listened quietly to the other person's story, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

Zhu Yan stared out the window, lost in thought, then gave a bitter laugh:

"Ha, people's words are two-faced; they don't care whether things are true or false."

"Because of this incident, that unscrupulous boss and I were gossiped about for a long time..."

Yang Xue felt the matter wasn't over and continued to press for answers:

"Are we just going to let them go like this?"

"Didn't they call the police and chase them down?"

Zhu Yan turned to look at her old friend, a hint of sadness showing in her dim eyes.

"Old Jiang said he knew too many different kinds of people and was worried that his past might not be clean, so he didn't dare to call the police."

"Actually, only I know. People in the martial arts world are reluctant to use the Six Doors to solve problems, saying that it's not honorable."

“They are brothers, and no matter how great the hatred is, in Lao Jiang’s eyes, it is just a personal grudge. He would lose face if it went to court.”

Yang Xue nodded in realization.

This further reveals Jiang Xiaolong's character and temperament.

"Ugh, what a scumbag who deserves to be struck by lightning!"

Yang Xue commented angrily, then hugged Zhu Yan again with heartache.

Feeling the warmth from the other person, Zhu Yan felt much relieved.

Correspondingly, the heavy feelings that Yang Xue carried after transmigrating were inexplicably balanced out a lot.

That's just how people are sometimes...

When you encounter setbacks and can't think straight, what can heal your heart is not a word of encouragement, nor is it some feel-good platitudes that offer no real help.

It was precisely that one sentence:

Friend, don't cry, I'm actually in a worse situation than you...

But this is not the dark side of human nature.

When a person is suffering greatly, she really needs a friend who can understand her pain.

The emotional connection she felt let her know that she wasn't alone at that moment...

Yang Xue and Zhu Yan are like that.

They both encountered scumbags and were burdened with huge debts, but after meeting each other again, they were able to breathe a long sigh of relief.

When people in the same pain lick each other's wounds, isn't that a form of healing?

...

"Hey, sisters, you guys are pretty loyal."

"The company is about to go bankrupt, yet so many people are willing to fight alongside the boss."

Yang Xue seemingly casually posed a question.

In reality, she had already begun planning how to formally join the team as a collaborator.

Yang Xue is meticulous and realistic.

She had heard many stories in the news about people working for free and doing things out of love.

But this is the first time I've actually seen it.

At first glance, Jiang Xiaolong seemed like a scoundrel with a cynical attitude.

However, Yang Xue noticed through the details that the other party was very intelligent, and that she needed to be wary of cooperating with such a person.

But through Zhu Yan's account, Yang Xue discovered that the other person had a fiery personality and valued loyalty and face highly.

Therefore, she needs to verify the other party's character again through Zhu Yan's perspective.

Then Zhu Yan patiently explained:

"The unscrupulous boss is actually quite kind to his employees."

"When the company was facing bankruptcy, he took out his savings for his funeral to help him out."

"And his straightforward style makes the women feel safe with him."

Zhu Yan described Jiang Xiaolong with a hint of approval.

Then she whispered in Yang Xue's ear:

"All he does is play video games all day long, and he hardly talks to girls."

“Every time a friend says she wants to introduce him to someone, he gets extremely impatient.”

"Actually, I suspect he's a female bottom..."

When Jiang Xiaolong's trivial matters are mentioned, Zhu Yan rarely shows a girlish demeanor.

Yang Xue observed this thoughtfully.

The two of them immediately burst out laughing.

Zhu Yan patted Yang Xue and continued:

"Of course, that old guy is incredibly pragmatic now, as stingy as can be..."

"Based on your singing skills just now, you are definitely qualified to be voted for by a good platform."

"But if you come here, you should be prepared to earn 1500 a month and be treated like a beast of burden, relentlessly exploited..."

Yang Xue smiled slightly, but did not immediately reply to Zhu Yan.

She has already developed a preliminary approach to this collaboration.

But in her mind, something else was on her mind.

The "wandering singer" IP that Lin Fan used before seems to be a good entry point.

Judging from the implication in the other party's words, although Lin Fan and the team parted ways, all the other party took away was money.

The guise of "street singer" still belongs to the current operating company.

If it can be reactivated, it would fit perfectly with the rules of its own "God of Music" system.

Thinking of this, Yang Xue asked:

"Yan Yan, I want to ask, is that 'Wandering Singer' account still in use?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yan's expression immediately tensed up.

This "account" caused everyone a lot of pain, and the final struggle ended in chaos.

She couldn't help but touch the scar on her wrist.

Realizing she had touched on a taboo topic, Yang Xue said with a hint of guilt:

"I'm sorry, Yan Yan, I shouldn't have brought this up at this time..."

"Oh, it's all in the past...it's okay."

Zhu Yan forced a smile and interrupted, seemingly indifferent.

"That account had over 130 million followers at its peak."

"But after Lin Fan left, they tried to change the management, but nothing improved. Now they've probably lost all their fans..."

As she said these words, Zhu Yan's eyes dimmed.

Yang Xue thought for a moment and then an idea suddenly came to her mind.

"Now I have an idea, maybe we can try it again."

"If you're interested..."
