My agency went bankrupt before I even got on stage.

Xia Yan looked at Lin Fan's aggrieved expression and found it amusing: "Think about it, if you don't sing well, after Zhang Xinlan's version comes out, you'll be completely forgotten. Who will still buy your songs then? Won't your long-term livelihood become less secure?"

Upon hearing that his meal ticket might be in trouble, Lin Fan immediately became incredibly energetic, as if he'd been injected with adrenaline. In this world, no one could stand in his way of making money; it was all his capital for finding beautiful women in the future!

"Okay, let's do it again!"

Outside the recording studio, Xia Yan watched with a smile as Lin Fan began to sing the song again. After Xia Yan's repeated guidance and polishing, Lin Fan was already very familiar with the song. Xia Yan had clearly explained how to sing it, how to handle the emotions, where to breathe, and what techniques to use, and Lin Fan had mastered them all.

The remaining task is for Lin Fan to internalize this knowledge, apply it to the recording of the song, and ultimately present the audience with a perfect result.

"Try again, you can do even better!"

"Try it again, is this all you've got?"

"Do it again? Are you wasting my time?"

……

The call to "Do it again" rang out repeatedly.

Lin Fan was focused on recording, but Xia Yan stared at him absentmindedly through the glass of the recording studio.

Lin Fan has an outstanding appearance. Even Xia Yan, who is used to seeing high-value people in the entertainment industry, has to admit that Lin Fan's appearance ranks in the top three.

In common parlance, they're good at fighting and can withstand blows!

But hidden beneath such an outstanding exterior is a very interesting soul.

Lin Fanming gained enviable popularity and public adoration as soon as he entered the entertainment industry. In such an environment, it's easy for ordinary people to lose themselves, lose their way, forget their original aspirations, and become hopelessly addicted to the allure of fame and fortune.

But Lin Fan didn't. He still kept his dream firmly in mind—well, if opening a guesthouse in a tourist area that only caters to single ladies could be considered a dream, Lin Fan had never forgotten it for a moment.

Lin Fan not only kept his original aspiration in mind, but was also very talented.

Whether it's "I Caught a Cold in That Corner" or "Keep Walking in the Rain" which is currently being recorded, Lin Fan's significantly improved singing skills and understanding of music all demonstrate that he is very talented and hardworking.

"Let's do it again" was just Xia Yan's way of pushing Lin Fan to his limit. Last time they recorded a song, Xia Yan thought he had pushed Lin Fan to his limit, but now it seems that this guy clearly has even greater energy that hasn't been unleashed yet. Although he doesn't know why Lin Fan has been holding back, Xia Yan believes that he can definitely test his limits.

Xia Yan had already noticed from her discussion with Lin Fan that Lin Fan's grasp of music theory was much better than when he came to record the song last time! It was like he was a completely different person!

This must be the result of Lin Fan realizing his shortcomings after the last recording session and then working hard to learn! Of course, it's also possible that he was hiding his true abilities last time. After all, he's always pretended to be a lazy, unambitious, and unlearned shut-in.

If Lin Fan were really that lazy and a homebody, then under those repeated and strict demands, he probably would have already lost patience, finished recording the song, uploaded it to the music platform, and just waited to collect the money.

Why bother following her to perfect the recording of the song again and again?

Lin Fan's love of money and laziness are merely a facade; deep down, he is a person who loves music. Xia Yan, who believes she sees through everything, thinks that although she doesn't know why Lin Fan puts on such a facade, it doesn't stop her from helping him go further on his musical journey and lay a solid foundation for him!

While Xia Yan and Lin Fan were recording, bystanders such as Lian Xiaoyu and Xia Yan's personal assistant Chen Yuan waited outside the recording studio. Because the recording process was extremely tedious and boring, and Xia Yan was the kind of person who transformed from a fairy into an extremely strict little devil as soon as she entered the recording studio, it was hard to believe whether Lin Fan could stand her constant "do it again," and even Xiaoyu and Chen Yuan were finding it a bit unbearable.

I can't stand it, I dare not watch, and all bystanders keep their distance!

While the two chatted idly while waiting, Xia Yan's phone rang. Chen Yuan answered the phone: "Sister Xia, Yan Yan is recording a song in the recording studio... No, not Yan Yan's new song, it's Lin Fan's new song... Yes, it's Miss Lian... Miss Lian is right here, do you want to talk to her? Okay, I'll transfer the call to her."

Even Xiaoyu was quite familiar with Xia Yan's agent, Yang Hongxia, so upon hearing this, she answered the phone: "Sister Xia, this is Xiaoyu!"

Yang Hongxia's laughter came from the other end of the phone: "Xiaoyu, I guessed you were with Yanyan!"

"Hey, Sister Xia, stop teasing me. My company went bankrupt and I had no money for food, so I had to cling to Yan Yan and mooch off her!"

"Don't let President Lian hear what you're saying, or I'm worried he'll come and kill you."

Lian Xiaoyu chatted with Yang Hongxia for a few minutes before asking, "Sister Xia, what did you want to see me about?"

Yang Hongxia then smoothly got to the point: "Weren't you and Yan Yan helping Lin Fan record a song? It's 'Keep Walking in the Rain,' right? How about it, are you interested in signing your artists to our company, even their managers?"

Lian Xiaoyu was overjoyed when Yang Hongxia called her "Agent Lian"! Being an excellent agent was her lifelong dream! Especially being addressed like this by Yang Hongxia, an outstanding representative in the agent industry, made Lian Xiaoyu's lips curl up into a wide smile.

Moreover, Yang Hongxia's company, Galaxy Entertainment, is one of the top giants in the industry! They have a ton of A-list artists under their management! Not to mention the second-, third-, and even 18th-tier artists!

Even if Lian Xiaoyu hadn't wanted to start her own company, she would have wanted to join Xinghe Entertainment! Now that Yang Hongxia has personally extended an invitation, it must be because of Xia Yan's sake, so the contract offered to Lin Fan should not be bad.

However, Lian Xiaoyu suppressed her excitement because firstly, Lin Fan really didn't want to debut, and secondly, she was no longer Lin Fan's manager and couldn't make decisions for him.

"Sister Xia, it's not that I'm unwilling, it's just that Lin Fan really doesn't want to debut! He's fine with recording songs, but he absolutely can't bring himself to debut and do any promotional work!"

Yang Hongxia exclaimed in surprise, "You really don't want to? I thought everything he said on the show was scripted, that he was creating a persona!"

"There was no script, no character design; Lin Fan spoke from the heart."

It was precisely because these were Lin Fan's honest words that even Xiao Yu was worried.

She had a mountain of gold and silver right in front of her, but she squandered it all. When the gold started to shine, Lian Xiaoyu regretted it and wanted to hold onto the mountain of gold and silver again, but the mountain of gold and silver just grew legs and ran away!

Not only did it run away, but it also shouted as it ran, "Don't chase me!"

Are you irritating or not?
