Volume One Chapter 78: In a Bad Mood, Looking for Someone to Vent On

Supervisory Bureau.

Su Ling looked at Li Hao, her face full of anger. “Has the company not treated you well enough? What benefits did Star Entertainment offer you for you to do something like this?”

“President Su, don’t say such pretty words. Do you really think the company treated me well?” Li Hao let out a cold laugh. “The spot in ‘Idol Two and a Half Years’ was mine, but you gave it directly to Jiang Yu. The position Jiang Yu holds now should have been mine!”

“Another fool.”

At that moment, a voice reached the two of them.

“It’s you!”

“Yes, it’s me.” Su Muyu turned to see Jiang Yu and Su Muyu enter.

Jiang Yu walked in slowly.

“Are you here to mock me?” Li Hao looked at Jiang Yu, hatred written all over his face.

“Yes, I am here to mock you.” Jiang Yu nodded seriously. “If I’m not here to taunt you, should I be here to wish you a happy New Year instead?”

“What right do you have to mock me? If the company hadn’t given you my spot, you wouldn’t have what you have today.”

Hearing Jiang Yu’s words, Li Hao’s eyes reddened.

If not for Jiang Yu, he would have been the one to join the program, the one to sing those songs.

“We’re all company artists; why does he get so many resources? If I had those songs, I could have reached his level!”

“Do you really think all those songs were given to Jiang Yu by the company?” Su Ling was stunned, then slowly calmed herself.

“Weren’t they?” Li Hao slumped there. “I’m just taking back what’s mine—what’s wrong with that?”

Jiang Yu pulled out his phone and logged onto a website.

Huaxia Copyright Net.

“What a fool you are. Check the copyright dates, they were written two months ago. Two months ago, I didn’t even know what Huayue Entertainment was—why would they have given me songs then?”

Su Muyu gently patted Jiang Yu and chided him softly, “Don’t use foul language.”

“That’s impossible, absolutely impossible!” Seeing the copyright application dates, Li Hao was in utter disbelief.

Su Ling shook her head and spoke. “That spot, it didn’t exist at first.”

“What do you mean?” Li Hao froze at her words.

A trace of pity flashed in Su Ling’s eyes.

In truth, the company only had two spots at the beginning.

One was given to Guo Qiang; the other to the girl the company was pushing.

Jiang Yu’s spot was only created because ‘Bare Face’ and ‘At the Crossroads of Blooming Phoenix Flowers’ exploded online, so Yan Ming voluntarily added a spot just for Jiang Yu.

And since Su Ling happened to know Jiang Yu, Yan Ming asked her to find him and give him the spot.

“Impossible! The company was pushing three people: me, Guo Qiang, and Liao Yiyi. That spot was mine—Jiang Yu stole it from me! Su Muyu helped him steal my spot!”

Jealousy truly is a frightening thing.

Jiang Yu let out a light laugh, looking at Li Hao.

“As expected, in the beginning, this world had neither truth nor lies, only the facts as they originally existed. But the incompetent only recognize as ‘truth’ those facts that benefit themselves, and live for what they believe to be true. For if they did not, they could not find a reason to exist. Yet, for these incompetents, to deny their ‘truth’ is the actual fact.”

Li Hao stared at Jiang Yu. “What do you mean by that? Are you calling me incompetent?”

Jiang Yu looked at him with a trace of pity in his eyes and gently shook his head. “Pitiful, truly pitiful.”

With that, he walked out of the Supervisory Bureau.

Su Muyu cast a cold glance at Li Hao and turned to leave as well.

Only Su Ling remained. Watching them leave one by one, Li Hao began to panic. “President Su, please, I don’t want to go to prison—save me!”

Su Ling sighed.

She was the one who had discovered Li Hao, and through the years had tried her best to nurture him, letting Su Muyu take him under her wing in many productions. Although always in supporting roles, he had managed to establish a solid presence with the audience.

He had accumulated enough, only lacking that final breakthrough moment.

Who would have thought that, all because of a single program, things would turn out this way?

“Take a good look at yourself,” Su Ling said, and turned to leave.

“No, President Su, please save me, I beg you!”

...

Outside the door.

Su Ling came out, looking at Jiang Yu with an apologetic expression. “Xiaoyu, this time your aunt was wrong; I misjudged him.”

Jiang Yu shook his head and smiled. “Aunt, don’t say that. This has nothing to do with you.”

Su Ling sighed. “He was so young; he should have had a bright future ahead of him.”

Jiang Yu glanced at Su Ling. “But he’s an adult now—he has to be responsible for his actions.”

“I know.” Su Ling nodded, then gritted her teeth. “But this time, that old fox Li Gang managed to walk away unscathed. It’s infuriating!”

Hearing this, Jiang Yu felt a pain in his stomach—he was furious.

And so, they carried their anger all the way back to the Sandalwood Palace.

Lying on the sofa, Jiang Yu scrolled through his phone.

Damn it—the more he thought about it, the angrier he got!

No, he had to vent to someone, or the frustration would suffocate him.

Suddenly, he thought of something.

Main account.

Jiang Yu: I was bullied today, not in a good mood, looking for someone to take it out on. @Sun Tao, how long has it been, and you still haven’t finished that song? If you can’t write it, just apologize and cheer me up!

As soon as Jiang Yu posted on Weibo, his fans immediately flocked to the scene. They had been following the recent events closely, so even the slightest stir would draw a crowd.

“Haha, bad mood and looking for someone to vent on. I can’t stop laughing! Is this about the ‘Exaggeration’ incident these past two days?”

“Looks like Brother Yu really is angry, otherwise he wouldn’t say something like that.”

“I almost forgot—Brother Yu and Sun Tao’s competition still hasn’t been settled, hahaha!”

...

At that moment, in a luxurious room.

Sun Tao was updating his old novel ‘Blood-Red Sunset’ when he suddenly saw his Weibo flooded with private messages.

Reading through them, his anger nearly made him breathless.

“You brat, you’re going too far!”

He’d once challenged Jiang Yu, but ‘Borrowing Five Hundred Years from Heaven’ had crushed him completely. He was fully aware that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t write a song like that.

Fortunately, there had been a lot of buzz on the internet afterwards, and the matter was forgotten.

He’d planned to keep a low profile and fade away, but Jiang Yu just had to bring it up again, dragging the whole thing back into the spotlight.

You got bullied—what’s that got to do with me? I haven’t provoked you recently!

Damn you, Star Entertainment! Why did you have to mess with Jiang Yu!

Meanwhile, Su Muyu also saw Jiang Yu’s Weibo and couldn’t help laughing at its contents.

He must really be angry this time.

This man, when on stage, is so domineering, as if no one else exists—a king overlooking the world. Yet sometimes, he’s as childish as a boy.

She took out her phone.

“Still stomping around in anger?”

Jiang Yu was baffled by her message. How did Su Muyu know he was so angry?

“I’m just resting at home—what’s there to be angry about?”

“Tell Spicy Chicken Crackers for me—he hasn’t updated today. Tell him to hurry up.”

Seeing Su Muyu’s message, Jiang Yu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“Alright, I’ll tell him now. You can read it in two hours.”
