After being reborn, I refused to be a sucker, and my whole family was dumbfounded.

the other side.

Shan Caiwei said to Lin Ling with dissatisfaction, "President Lin, the singer Xu Qingrou we contacted refused to sing the song 'Love Me Again' by Lin Keshan the moment she heard that it was to be performed."

"They say it's an infringement, that they're afraid of being sued, and that they think we have a weak sense of the law."

"That's just the surface reason. In reality, I can tell that she's very wary of Lin Keshan's background and is afraid of offending her."

"It's also possible that they think we're using her as cannon fodder to cause trouble for Lin Keshan."

Lin Ling frowned.

How can this singer be so ungrateful?

He knew very well how popular this song was in his previous life; as long as he became the singer of this song, he could become famous all over the country for a period of time.

I kindly offered her this song to sing, but she still gave me a sour look.

He said calmly, "Since you're so ungrateful, then contact other singers."

“I’ve contacted three other suitable singers, but the earliest they can arrive in Nanzhou is next month.” Shan Caiwei frowned and said, “Because we’re in such a rush, it clashes with their schedules.”

"I understand, I understand." Lin Ling nodded slowly. "Have Xu Qingrou come to see me."

Shan Caiwei nodded.

Since she couldn't persuade Xu Qingrou, she would let Lin Ling take the lead.

Seeing Shan Caiwei leave, Lin Ling's eyes were full of disdain.

He had never even heard of Xu Qingrou; she was just a third-rate singer.

If it weren't for the urgency of the situation, he wouldn't have personally approached her to talk.

Half an hour later, Shan Caiwei walked in with a young woman wearing heavy makeup and a leather jacket and pants.

"President Lin, this is Xu Qingrou," Shan Caiwei introduced.

“Okay, I’ll talk to her alone.” Lin Ling nodded slowly.

He looked at Xu Qingrou and smiled faintly: "Tell me what your concerns are."

Xu Qingrou looked at Lin Ling with no respect, but with strong defensiveness and even disdain: "You have too many concerns. First, even if your group has the copyright, this song was not first released by me. I don't like it, and my fans will be disappointed when they find out."

"Do you know how many fans I have? I have more than a million fans across several platforms."

"I can't let so many loyal fans down just because of your few hundred thousand yuan."

"Furthermore, I've also learned about the conflict between you and Lin Keshan. You want me to be the scapegoat and cannon fodder in your war, right? I won't do that."

Lin Ling raised an eyebrow, her eyes filled with anger.

How dare a nobody like me talk to myself like that?

I am, after all, a major sponsor.

Does he not think of himself as her fan?

He said coldly, "You don't need to think so much. You're just someone I invited to sing."

"There's absolutely no problem with this song, and the copyright is definitely not an issue. Plus, I'll be investing a lot of money in promoting it, which will boost your fame."

"The things you're worried about are utterly worthless compared to the benefits they bring you."

"To put it bluntly, you're just a nobody. You don't need to think about too many things. As long as you can make money, that's enough."

Xu Qingrou immediately objected, saying aggressively, "President Lin, although you are rich and powerful, please respect me."

"I am at least a singer with a 100% fan base, not a canary you can manipulate at will."

"As a singer, I have my own dignity and my own choices."

Lin Ling's lips twitched with anger. She had only asked someone to sing a song, but she hadn't expected to run into this kind of trouble.

He didn't want to waste any more time with the self-righteous Xu Qingrou. He took out a stack of cash and a document from his desk: "I don't need you to sing anymore. Take this money, sign the confidentiality agreement, and you can leave."

Xu Qingrou froze, a hint of disbelief in her eyes.
