After being discharged from the hospital, the rest of the song recording went smoothly, and the final production was carried out in an orderly manner.
The whole company already knew that Shan Yatong was a newcomer that the company was investing great efforts in promoting. Hence, their attitude towards Shan Yatong was also more polite.
After recording the last song, Shan Yatong sat down. He saw Tang Ruanqing’s assistant come in and said something to Yang Lijian, who was in charge of recording. Yang Lijian walked towards him with a strange expression, with a piece of A4 paper in his hand.
“Yatong, try this song.” Yang Lijian didn’t look well. He handed Shan Yatong the sheet music with lyrics.
Shan Yatong took the paper, and glanced at it. “Go Back”?
Over the past four years, a few people in Sky Crown Corporation had covered the song. But there were a lot of curses. Although the copyright of this song belonged to Sky Crown Corporation, it was one of Jing Anjue’s masterpieces. Now that Tang Ruanqing was asking him to cover this song by himself, wasn’t he afraid of making trouble for himself?
And as an artist who had just entered the circle, even if he were to become popular after imitating a predecessor, it would be difficult to get rid of the shadow of imitation. Sky Crown Corporation had spent so much money to cultivate him just to cultivate a replica?
On the side, Lu Fan’s face did not look good. As an agent, he could naturally see what was at stake. He frowned slightly and went to the chairman’s assistant. “Assistant Zhang, is it necessary to add this song to Yatong’s new album?”
Zhang Feng nodded. Looking at the new man sitting on the sofa, he couldn’t see any joy. “The president said that this song must be sung well.”
Shan Yatong stood up and pushed open the door of the recording room. He left behind the A4 paper, the sheet with the music printed on it remained on the sofa.
Yang Lijian looked at the looked at the white paper on the sofa. Then looked at the teenager who was already putting in his earplugs. He made a gesture to the staff behind him.
Outside the door, Tang Ruanqing watched the expressionless boy in the studio through the glass on the door. There was a dark gleam in his eyes.
The teenager’s voice was a little sad and nostalgic, as if there was a person standing in the moonlight, embracing the loneliness all by themselves, reminiscing the days of their youths, wanting to go back but unable to find a way back.
Jing Anjue’s song was a story of the great changes in life, while the youth’s singing was full of reminiscence. They had two different feelings, but both sang straight into the human heart.
Yang Lijian gestured. “The climax part again.”
The climax of the song was not easy to master, and these few sentences embodied the soul of the entire song.
Shan Yatong nodded. He closed his eyes and focused on immersing himself in the emotional mindset again.

Tang Ruanqing crossed his arms over his chest. He turned and left with a faint smile.
Shan Yatong took his headphones off and walked out of the recording booth. He had been delayed several hours because of this song. He leaned tiredly against the sofa, remembering he was supposed to take part in a program recording in the afternoon. “Yang Jun, what time is it right now?”
Yang Jun replied, “It’s 3 p.m., you’re going to be on the “Deep Speech” recording program in an hour.”
Opening his eyes, Shan Yatong picked up the coat on the sofa and slipped it on. He said to Yang Lijian behind him, “Director Yang, I’ll be leaving first.”
“En, be careful on the road.” The ‘goodbye’ between Yang Lijian and Shan Yatong had five more words than the original ‘En’.
Shan Yatong smiled and nodded. Yang Jun helped carry his bag from behind, resigned to his fate. However, Lu Fan didn’t show any intent of leaving. He looked at Zhang Feng. “I think I need to talk to the president.” He said with a smile.
Zhang Feng shrugged. He sighed helplessly and patted Lu Fan. “Brother, let’s go. The boss is in the office right now.”
As soon as he opened the BMW door, Shan Yatong saw a flashy red Ferrari stop beside him. He had already guessed who it was.
“Hi, Little Tong-Tong!” Lin Yuxin got out of the car stylishly, wearing the latest Spring dress from Milan’s fashion week.
“Yuxin-Jie,” Shan Yatong stopped getting into the car, and closed the door. “You’re done filming for the movie?”
Lin Yuxin approached him and looked at the black BMW. “The BMW is the latest model… Yatong, don’t tell me you’ve found yourself a wealthy woman recently?”
“Yuxin-jie, this is the company’s car. Please don’t get me wrong.” Yang Jun sat in the driver’s seat, unsure of the relationship between these two. When he heard this, he frantically stuck his head out of the car window to explain. After all, as an artist, being misunderstood by senior artists could have negative impacts on their future career.
Lin Yuxin rolled her eyes gracefully and said to Shan Yatong, “I would like to say, Yatong, your assistant is extremely responsible and dutiful.” She smoothed out the wavy curls around her chest. “As a newcomer, you have a separate manager as well as a full-time assistant. Yatong, you can’t miss an opportunity like this.”
Shan Yatong understood what Lin Yuxin meant. Lin Yuxin gave a complicated look to the black BMW, and elegantly entered the company.
Looking at the back of Lin Yuxin, Shan Yatong pulled the car door open and sat in the back seat. “Send me straight to the program recording.”
Yang nodded and drove carefully.
Shan Yatong took a milk carton from the seat beside him and drank from it. He hadn’t eaten at noon, and needed some nutrition. He didn’t know whether drinking milk would exceed the recommended standard of melamine.
After participating in the program recording, it was already past seven o’clock in the evening. Shan Yatong walked out of the TV station with a pale face. His impulse to eat was disrupted by a phone call from the company. He hung up the phone with anger, gritting his teeth in frustration. He spat out, from the bottom of his heart, fuck!
Yang Jun could see from the rear-view mirror that Shan Yatong did not look very good. But he didn’t dare ask about it. He drove them back to the company, following Shan Yatong up the stairs.
Pushing the door to a small meeting room open, Shan Yatong saw Tang Ruanqing and several upper-level people from the company, as well as Lu Fan and Lin Yuxin. After greeting them, he said hello and sat down in a seat.
Tang Ruanqing saw that Shan Yatong looked a little pale, and guessed that he might be unwell. He didn’t say much and expressed himself directly.
“Yatong, we just heard the songs you recorded, and saw your performance in “Lincheng”. We thought it was very good. So we decided to focus our efforts on you. The upcoming training days may be hard, but we hope you can make it through the hardship.”
He smiled and nodded. “I will work hard.” This appearance surprised a few senior managers. Wasn’t his joy too dull?
“By the way, we’ll be starting to film the MV of your album’s title track tomorrow. Yuxin will be the heroine of your ‘Millenium’ MV.” Tang Ruanqing said absent-mindedly.
Shan Yatong’s eyes flashed, and joy filled his face. “Yuxin-jie will be the heroine of my MV?!”
“That’s right, Yatong. Let’s work well together.” Lin Yuxin didn’t seem to have any ill-feelings, and winked at Shan Yatong, smiling from ear-to-ear.
Even insiders knew that usually the super-famous Queen of Heaven would not be invited as a female lead just for an MV, as it wouldn’t benefit them at all. It was unprecedented, as very few companies used Empress-level artists when shooting MVs for newcomers.
However, to the surprise of Shan Yatong, Lin Yuxin did not seem to resent those looking down on her. She was extremely cooperative. Was he really ‘out of touch’? It has only been four years, yet the people of Sky Crown have all become such a close-knit family? Frightened by his own thoughts, he moved his eyes away and looked at the work schedule he was holding.
The meeting did not take long to end. Shan Yatong stood up, and was immediately grabbed by Lin Yuxin around the neck. “I still have something to do tonight, so I’ll leave first. Oh, I’m looking forward to cooperating with you tomorrow”
Shan Yatong watched Lin Yuxin send him a flying kiss, and walked away with elegant steps. He rubbed his forehead and followed out of the conference room.
Sitting at the top, Tang Ruanqing watched the teenager’s back as he disappeared behind the door. His eyes filled with complexity. Why, even for such a thing, the elation the teenager showed was still so unreal?
Walking around the corner, Shan Yatong stumbled on his feet. The moment he was about to fall, he subconsciously smiled bitterly. Could it be that he had also become one of those starving artists?
“Aiya, throwing yourself into my arms. What a surprise, Yatong.” Xiao Qishen slipped an arm around his slim waist, smiling wickedly.
Standing up straight, he swatted the hand around his waist. Shan Yatong narrowed his eyes and smiled. “Thank you Xiao-ge, for helping me. Stumbling slightly on his feet, he resumed his graceful stance. “I have business to attend to, so I’ll go first.”
Yang Jun, who was following him, mentally sympathized for the arrogant teenager. He was probably talking about having dinner.
Noticing that something was a bit off, Xiao Qishen changed the subject. “Busy day today?”
Shan Yatong felt that his blood sugar level was currently critically low. The smile on his face seemed a little stiff. “Yes.”
“It’s so late and you haven’t had dinner yet. I’ll treat you to dinner.” Xiao Qishen seemed to see the impatience under his smile, and smartly changed the subject. “Let’s go.”
Shan Yatong did not refuse. He nodded and followed Xiao Qishen into the elevator. “I want to eat Chinese food. Not french food, and not Italian food.”
“Okay.” Xiao Qishen said with a smile, seeing that he was really hungry. “I know a good Chinese Restaurant. It has good food, and was opened by an artist in the circle. You won’t have to worry about the paparazzi.”
Shan Yatong had a weak thought, that Xiao Qishen was the one who should be worrying about the paparazzi.
Foolishly still standing in place, Yang Jun looked at the elevator door closing shut. He murmured, “It does seem like he’s being taken advantage of, huh.”
“What are you doing standing here, where’s Yatong?” Lu Fan had always been very dissatisfied with the assistant of Shan Yatong. Now he wasn’t very happy to see him like this.
“Yatong?” Yang Jun said, “God Xiao took him away.”
Lu Fan’s eyes changed slightly. He pondered for a long time. “I understand. You can go home now.”
Tang Ruanqing was the one who proposed the key training plan. Lin Yuxin lowered her self value to be an MV female lead. Xiao Qishen was particularly caring about Shan Yatong. All of this, was it just because Shan Yatong had a little bit of special talent?

“Shan Yatong took a milk carton from the seat beside him and drank from it. He hadn’t eaten at noon, and needed some nutrition. He didn’t know whether drinking milk would exceed the recommended standard of melamine.”
wait, melamine is plastic, resin-like. is it melanin? but either way, what is the connection with drinking milk??
No, melanin brown, it’s pigment for your skin, hair, eyes. And no, I don’t remember having it’s in milk. It’s more like we born with it and can’t obtain from outside. That’s why sometimes humans and other creatures have problems with their amount of pigment
I know that as well, that’s why I questioning the melamine… it’s more impossible for that in drink, right?
Sorry, my mistake.
Melamine can be used in making milk. It can work as a protein substitute, but less effective. Also it’s dangerous in huge amount, because with prolonged use can appear kidney stones. Large numbers of kidney stones lead to kidney failure and are fatal.
In current production, melamine is used in chemical production that, logically, prohibited from peroral use. And it’s looks like salt
it’s dangerous and less effective to be consumed, but still used in making milk? I found the news about milk producing contained melamine and it’s banned… whoa I never know about this since I only thought the possible use of melamine is only for table, tools, decor, etc…
Thanks for the chapter ❤❤
Jeez, there’s so many people around him that should care about him but somehow no one noticed that he’s about to faint from hunger? Well, at least there’s one that’s taking him for Chinese food.
Thank you for the update
luckily I looked at the comments before posting.
Because I wanted to say the same thing. Everyone is oh-so concerned and attentive to him, but only my personal favorite ML discovered that this poor baby is starving… builds ship and sails away
When i’m hungry I wanna destroy and kill everything and everyone
thanks for the chapter~
Thanks for the chapter! ^^)❤
