Chapter 397 -376: Jiang Kui’s Nervousness_1

November was the battle month for top singers, which Lin Yuan certainly would not meddle in.

With Sun Yaohuo becoming a top singer, half of the department’s task was done, in Wu Yong’s terms, so they could now report their success to the higher-ups.

However, one person was feeling incredibly uneasy at the moment.

And that person was Jiang Kui.

When the Admirable Fish returned as the king of September, he created the song “Ten Years” for Sun Yaohuo. He also utilized the one melody, two lyrics strategy, allowing Sun Yaohuo to dominate the top two spots on September’s music charts.

At that time, Jiang Kui was utterly envious and her expectations soared:

If September belonged to Sun Yaohuo, wouldn’t October be her turn?

The company’s directive was to promote two top singers, and the nominees from the ninth floor were herself and Sun Yaohuo.

Supporting Sun Yaohuo in September and herself in October was a logical expectation.

Jiang Kui was even hopeful that she might receive the one melody, two lyrics treatment.

Because of this, she even learned Qi language urgently!

But by October, Admirable Fish still hadn’t contacted her. Instead, he continued aiding Sun Yaohuo in clinching victories with the song “White Rose,” capturing the October championship title!

At this point, Jiang Kui was feeling quite jittery.

Couldn’t she help but feel jittery?

It was already October.

With just two months left till the end of the year, and the December battle simply being non-viable, she didn’t have much time left!

Would it only be her turn in November?

As anxious as she was, Jiang Kui still retained some hope in her heart.

She even comforted herself, saying:

“I have a better foundation than Sun Yaohuo. It took three songs and two consecutive titles for him, plus monopolizing the top two spots on the monthly charts, to finally break into the top singer category. As for me, I don’t need to go through all that trouble, so it’s understandable if Teacher Admirable Fish has focused more on Sun Yaohuo.”

If it were up to Teacher Admirable Fish, even if he only started promoting her in November, there would be quite some risks, but the timing would still be about right.

But what Jiang Kui never expected was…

Just in these few days, the industry suddenly learned that Admirable Fish had decided not to participate in the November music charts!

At this point, Jiang Kui was not just jittery but a little panicked.

Did I do something wrong?

Did Teacher Admirable Fish give up on me?

Even the company started spreading some rumors.

The gist of it was that Sun Yaohuo was a singer admired by Admirable Fish, so Admirable Fish chose him as the task’s target.

Now that the ninth-floor team had successfully promoted Sun Yaohuo, they could already report back to the company.

Besides, none of the other composition departments managed to promote two top singers within a year.

Given this, Admirable Fish shouldn’t need to bother with Jiang Kui anymore.

Jiang Kui knew that Teacher Admirable Fish wasn’t that kind of person, but as November was approaching with no clear place for her, she couldn’t help but feel restless.

Did Teacher Admirable Fish really give up on me?

Or are they planning to promote me next year?

Seeing how anxious Jiang Kui was, her agent couldn’t help but console her:

“Teacher Admirable Fish will not give up on you. With the help from the ninth floor, your foundation is already very solid. As long as Teacher Admirable Fish provides a little help, you can become a top-tier singer. This is a matter of course for him, and he wouldn’t waste the effort he put into training you for the past months.”

That’s right.

Sending the Buddha to the west.

The ninth floor had already helped Jiang Kui for so long. If she didn’t strive for herself, so be it. But when she was already 90% close to becoming a top-tier singer, the ninth floor had no reason to give up now.

Also, even Sun Yaohuo, who was harder to promote, was pushed to the top!

She looked at her agent in desperation, “Then why hasn’t Teacher Admirable Fish planned for me to release any songs in November?”

“Isn’t this quite normal?”

Her agent barely managed a smile: “Do you really think Teacher Admirable Fish is a god? He has already released three consecutive songs, which is highly productive. His song reserves must have been exhausted by Sun Yaohuo. Don’t even mention trying to create two sets of lyrics for a melody. It’s not easy to come up with good lyrics in a short period.”

“So…”

“So, if the ninth floor wants to promote you, it will likely happen next year. Or I can reach out to other floors now and see if an ace composer can help and let you participate in the November competition.”

“No.”

Jiang Kui shook her head: “Even if there are composers willing to help on other floors, November is a gathering of strong competitors. Without Teacher Admirable Fish, it would be difficult for me to achieve good results. Do you think it’s possible that Teacher Admirable Fish is planning for me to release a song in December…”

“Impossible.”

Her agent decisively answered:

“Letting you release a song in December, Teacher Admirable Fish must think very highly of you. You must remember, December is a great scramble for the King and Queen of Singing. It’s industry-wide acknowledged ‘Battle of Gods’. Can a singer like you, who hasn’t even reached the top echelons yet, compete with a group of Kings and Queens of Singing?”

“That’s true.”

Jiang Kui couldn’t help but scratch her head. Even if Teacher Admirable Fish thought highly of her, she wouldn’t have the confidence to compete with the Kings and Queens of Singing.

Teacher Admirable Fish is indeed amazing.

But don’t the Kings and Queens of Singing have their Maestro assistances?

Her agent analyzed: “Going by Teacher Admirable Fish’s moves, he will most likely appear in December, but he should collaborate with one of the company’s Kings or Queens of Singing to ensure the best song outcome.”

Right.

Although Teacher Admirable Fish didn’t win the Maestro title, he was widely acknowledged as Maestro Junior in the industry and had defeated many real Maestros.

If he collaborated with a King or Queen of Singing and competed with top musicians of Blue Star, even if he doesn’t take the championship, the result can’t be too bad.

That’s the top-level competition in music circles.

When will I be able to participate in such a top-tier competition?

Jiang Kui’s eyes were a little longing, the previous anxiety had subsided a lot. Next year would be next year, it was just a matter of later breaking into the top tier.

At this moment, her agent’s phone suddenly rang.

Her agent was surprised: “It’s a call from Teacher Admirable Fish’s assistant, probably to reassure us.”

Jiang Kui hurriedly said: “Pick it up then!”

Her agent nodded, accepting the call.

Jiang Kui didn’t know what was said on the other end, but she saw her agent’s eyes widen suddenly, and his mouth gaping open.

When the agent put down the phone and looked at Jiang Kui, his eyes were extremely strange.

“What happened?”

“Teacher Admirable Fish says…”

“What did he say?”

“Teacher Admirable Fish said, you should get ready… to release a new song in December.”

“…”

Jiang Kui was dumbfounded.

Release a song in December?

She had considered countless possibilities, but the one thing she had never thought of was that Teacher Admirable Fish would ask her to release a song in December!

In December, with so many Maestros, Kings, and Queens of Singing coming together, did someone like her who hadn’t even risen to the top yet really qualify?

“I take back what I said earlier. Teacher Admirable Fish really values you.”

The agent patted Jiang Kui’s shoulder: “Looking at it this way, his expectations for you are even higher than they were for Sun Yaohuo.”

Jiang Kui was left dumbstruck.

An absurd idea popped into her head:

Does Teacher Admirable Fish… really like egg yolk cakes that much?
