No matter whether he’s helping out with composing and arranging music on the piano or not, the frequency with which Lin Yuan visits the art club inevitably decreases, because he also needs to make time to write “Zhu Xian”.
He has to accumulate several thousand words a day.
No matter how fast he types, it will still require effort.
As half of May has passed, the relevant music departments of large entertainment companies have started preparing for the new season in June. At Starlight, the plan to release “Red Rose” next month has been confirmed.
One of the three giants in the Qin Continent.
The lounge of Dazzling Silver Light.
As a top-tier singer, Chen Zhiyu is also preparing to release a new song in June. For this reason, Chen Zhiyu made a point of reminding his agent to look at strong competitors that might surface next month.
“Great news!”
After the agent had investigated the preparations of various companies for next month and contacted Chen Zhiyu in a hurry, he was very excited: “This is excellent news, there’s absolutely no problem for you to top the charts next month!”
“Don’t jinx it!”
Chen Zhiyu said irritably: “As far as I know, Jin Shuyu from Starlight Entertainment will also be releasing a song next month. Jin Shuyu’s capabilities and influence among fans are not to be taken lightly. I don’t have the confidence to consistently beat him.”
Both are top-tier singers.

But their popularity levels differ.
Jin Shuyu began to rise in popularity last year, and this year he has securely claimed the throne of a top-tier singer. His popularity and fan base even slightly surpass those of Chen Zhiyu. Under such circumstances, Chen Zhiyu views Jin Shuyu as his biggest rival for next month.
“This is the good news I was talking about!”
The agent said gleefully: “For some unknown reason, Jin Shuyu has been suspended from activities for a month by Starlight Entertainment, and his agent has received the same punishment. So, his plan to release a new song in June has been cancelled by Starlight.”
“Are you sure?”
Chen Zhiyu was taken aback: “This isn’t some smoke screen Starlight is putting up, is it? Jin Shuyu is currently a popular top-tier singer. How can his song release plan be cancelled just like that?”
“I am not sure about that.”
The agent smiled and said firmly: “But I know for sure that Jin Shuyu’s suspension from Starlight is real. Because several of his key activities have been suspended in recent days. It’s likely he’s offended some big shot. Now you can relax. Because apart from Jin Shuyu, none of the other singers next month pose any threat to you.”
“What about Starlight’s substitute singer?”
“The substitute singer is apparently Sun Yaohuo. He was probably hastily pulled in by Starlight. He is just a little-known small-time singer, not even as good as Zhao Ying Ge from last time. Starlight’s top-tier singers wouldn’t substitute for Jin Shuyu at the last minute.”
“Heaven is on my side!”
Chen Zhiyu’s doubts were completely dispelled.
He finally revealed a smile. It’s not that he’s overly cautious. He had mainly been frightened before. The last time he released a song was in January, and as a result, he was unexpectedly trounced by “Easy to Ignite and Explode”. It scared Chen Zhiyu so much that he hasn’t released any new songs for several months.
This time, no matter what, he must claim first place!
He must recover the face he lost in January!
You should know that Chen Zhiyu had deliberated for a long time before choosing June to release his song. This is the month he most hopes to claim the first place of the season. He doesn’t want to unexpectedly stumble again.
“This round is definitely won!”
The agent patted Chen Zhiyu’s shoulder: “I don’t believe that another Zhao Ying Ge is going to pop up this time. Even if Zhao Ying Ge does come, it would be useless. Under normal circumstances, how could non-top-tier singers possibly beat a top-tier singer like you?”
The news that Jin Shuyu was withdrawing from the June season competition didn’t just reach Dazzling Silver Light. Soon, the entire industry knows about it. After all, he’s currently a popular top-tier singer, so everyone within the industry is curious, wondering what Jin Shuyu did wrong to get suspended for a month.
“Dazzling Silver Light is getting a windfall.”
“We won’t be able to see a fight between the two Yus.”
Since both Jin Shuyu and Chen Zhiyu have the character “Yu” in their names and both are top-tier singers, the media has directly dubbed the competition for next month’s new song chart as “Battle of the Yus”.
Now, only one “Yu” is left.
Onlookers can’t help but feel bored.
Is it possible not to feel regret? Since Jin Shuyu and Chen Zhiyu can’t compete, a match between Dazzling Silver Light and Starlight Entertainment can’t happen. Who likes to watch a competition without suspense? Probably only Dazzling Silver Light and Chen Zhiyu will be laughing in secret.
The person who must be the most upset about this should be Jin Shuyu, right?
The industry is rife with such speculation.
Meanwhile, Jin Shuyu continues to stay in a hotel near the company.
During the period of his work suspension, he practically hasn’t left the hotel.
Only his equally idle agent, Tao Ran, keeps him company. Occasionally, the two of them fend off their worries with a drink.
“It’s only a month.”
After quietly drinking a few glasses of wine, Tao Ran tries to comfort Jin Shuyu: “Wait till the company loses in the new song chart in June, they will realize how important you are. Without you stepping forward, what can the company use to fight Chen Zhiyu? Can Sun Yaohuo really be a match for Chen Zhiyu?”
“You think so too?”
Jin Shuyu lifts his head to look at Tao Ran.
Tao Ran is taken aback: “Did I say something wrong?”
Jin Shuyu remains silent, only sighing lightly. He takes a sip of his wine gloomily, as if trying to drown his countless worries with alcohol.
“What’s wrong?”
Tao Ran furrows his brow: “This isn’t like you, Jin Shuyu. Is it such a big deal to be suspended for a month? If you’re angry, I’ll arrange something behind the scenes later on to make sure Sun Yaohuo regrets it.”
“Brother Tao!”
Upon hearing this, Jin Shuyu’s expression suddenly turned serious: “You absolutely must not harm Sun Yaohuo!”
“Huh?”
Tao Ran frowns even more: “Why?”
Jin Shuyu emphasizes every word: “You have to promise to me, don’t touch him!”
Tao Ran forces a smile: “Alright, alright, alright, I’ll listen to you. I won’t touch him, but you need to give me a reason, right?”
“A reason?”
Jin Shuyu puts down his wine glass: “As an agent, Brother Tao, you are indeed very talented, but when it comes to music, you are just an outsider.”
He chuckled coldly.
Jin Shuyu stood to look out of the window: “I guess Dazzling Silver Light is probably overjoyed right now, thinking that they’ve hit the jackpot. But they have no idea what’s waiting for them.”
“You mean…”
“Just because they want to win doesn’t mean they can do it so easily. The company isn’t dumb either. They could have punished me next month, so why did they choose this month? They are merely subtly reminding me to make way.”
“Because of Sun Yaohuo?”
“Because of Xian Yu…because of ‘Red Rose’!”
Tao Ran’s mouth dropped open.
He felt a bit dazed.
Jin Shuyu wasn’t usually a man of good temperament.
If it were anyone else who had put Jin Shuyu in such a predicament, Jin Shuyu would have retaliated heavily, without question.
All singers who have reached top-tier status are not pushovers!
But this time, despite being dealt such a heavy blow, Jin Shuyu did not erupt in anger, but rather began to introspect on his own actions?
That just doesn’t make sense..
