"You..." Bitong was so infuriated by Lin Tian that she couldn’t speak. After taking a few deep breaths, she coldly said, "Looks like you’ve set your mind on opposing me?"

"I never intended to oppose you, honestly." Lin Tian said, showing no visible expression.

Bitong thought Lin Tian was backing down, and she thought her connection with the the Li Family was indeed somewhat useful; Lin Tian had to consider it.

She smiled, just about to say something, but Lin Tian continued, "Don’t misunderstand, I’m not concerned about you. I meant to say, you’re not qualified for me to oppose."

Bitong’s smile froze, her hand holding the document stopped mid-air, extremely awkward. Zhou Botong laughed heartily, "Lin Tian, you gave me a fright. I thought you were scared, but this act, I’d give you a hundred and one points, one extra point won’t make you arrogant."

"Sign quickly, or after three days, you won’t even get the penalty for breach of contract." Lin Tian added dismissively.

Bitong’s expression changed repeatedly, finally retrieving the document, taking out a pen and signing her name with a few strokes, then throwing the document on the ground, she turned around and left, her followers and entourage also left with her.

As she passed by Lin Tian, she noticed Qu Yingyou, her brows furrowed. But she said nothing, just continued into the building. Once in the elevator, surrounded by her own people, she took out her phone and dialed a number.

"Brother Qian, I saw that Qu Yingyou." Bitong whispered.

"Which Qu Yingyou?" The other side couldn’t remember.

"The songwriter who refused to work for you and later got kicked out." Bitong reminded.

The other side was silent for a few seconds, seemingly recalling, then said, "You mean him, how is he now? Surely he’s doing terribly? Haha, dared to refuse me, I made sure he couldn’t recover."

"Brother Liu, he’s far from terrible, now working for a company called..." Bitong recalled the name of the agency on the document, and continued, "He’s working for a company called Tianfeng Entertainment now, quite successful."

"What? In the entertainment industry there’s actually a company bold enough to keep him!" Brother Liu’s voice was very angry, a few seconds later he added, "Aren’t you going to Coastal Villa for a performance? Is he going to Coastal Villa too?"

"That’s right, Qu Yingyou is also at Coastal Villa, that’s why I said he’s doing well." Bitong continued to incite.

"Wait, I’ll meet this Tianfeng Entertainment, what kind of things, daring to keep Qu Yingyou." Brother Liu said coldly, then hung up the phone.

Bitong put away her phone, an undetectable smile appeared in her eyes.

Lin Tian naturally didn’t know that Bitong was again scheming to borrow a knife to kill, but even if he knew, he probably wouldn’t care. Ou Mengmeng led the group to the recording studio; although this place wasn’t specifically for music, the equipment was quite complete.

According to Ou Mengmeng, Coastal Villa sometimes hosts performances, singers need to use the recording studio, so the Ou family built this building specifically for performers to use; having money is being willful.

Under Qu Yingyou’s guidance, Tian Xiaotian began practicing while Lin Tian and others, bored, opened another recording room and started the "album" recording Zhou Botong mentioned.

Regardless of how well Brother sings, they recorded a few tracks, but Lin Tian was surprised to find that among them, other than Xiao Manxuan singing the best, the second best was Yun Xiaotian.

The guy chose a female song and sang it without any sense of dissonance, making Lin Tian marvel. However, although recording "albums" is fun, the recording studio environment is monotonous, after two hours, they got tired.

Lin Tian finally understood that professional album recording singers really have it tough; releasing an album requires long hours in the recording studio, without any patience it’s really impossible.

However, Tian Xiaotian kept practicing diligently, even eating meals in the recording studio. Her perseverance and serious attitude greatly impressed Qu Yingyou; he’s seen his share of impatient singers.

Leaving the company’s key personnel to continue guiding Tian Xiaotian, Lin Tian and the others went out for a stroll. They rarely visited Dayan Island, naturally they wanted to explore the island’s attractions.

Xiao Manxuan and Ou Mengmeng initially wanted to wear swimsuits and enjoy the beach, but Lin Tian and Zhou Botong immediately vetoed the idea. Given the two’s beautiful appearances and figures, wearing swimsuits at the beach would probably trigger a "disaster".

Yun Xiaotian also opposed going swimming, though Lin Tian couldn’t figure out his reasons for opposition.

The time passed as they played, and soon the sun set, night fell, Mr. Qi called saying Tian Xiaotian had finished practicing, ready for image design.

"Uh oh, we forgot something important, has the issue of Tian Xiaotian’s stage performance been settled?" Xiao Manxuan suddenly asked.

Lin Tian and Yun Xiaotian both looked at Ou Mengmeng, who nonchalantly waved her hand, unconcerned, "What’re you afraid of? I’ll call my cousin; she’ll agree to this kind of small matters."

Small matters? Lin Tian was also speechless. Indeed, standing at different heights, perspectives differ; even popular celebrities find it difficult to perform on stage easily.

Ou Mengmeng indeed took out her phone and dialed Ou Qinglan’s number.

"Cousin, I want to ask you a favor." Ou Mengmeng said with a smile, her obedient appearance made Lin Tian taken aback; indeed, everyone has their match.

"What is it?" A pleasant yet authoritative female voice came from the phone.

"I want a girl named Tian Xiaotian to perform at tonight’s event." Ou Mengmeng cautiously said.

"Nonsense, tonight’s performers are already decided, the audience is composed of international elites and their families, entourage, think about it yourself, is this a place for your games?" Ou Qinglan’s voice escalated by three levels, giving Ou Mengmeng a stern lecture.

Fearless Ou Mengmeng, after being scolded like this, deflated, completely opposite her usual bold, fiery demeanor. Zhou Botong remained calm as if used to such incidents.

"That’s it, I’m hanging up; I have many people to meet." Ou Qinglan, being a decisive person, didn’t chatter further with Ou Mengmeng, simply intending to hang up.

Because Ou Mengmeng used speakerphone, Lin Tian and others heard everything. When Ou Qinglan uttered those words, their expressions became sour; having been busy for half a day only to be stuck at the final step, this joke could turn big.

Although Lin Tian didn’t care about being a joke, once a promise is made, it’s like spilled water, a bit awkward. He was confident in promoting Tian Xiaotian through other means, but tonight was truly a golden opportunity missed, incredibly unfortunate. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Ou Qinglan is a person who says what goes, she says no chance, so a large part is just no chance.

Ou Mengmeng’s expression, aggrieved like a little girl, muttered softly, "It’s not me messing around, it’s Lin Tian who wants the little girl to perform, why scold me..."

Gosh, sold me out too, Lin Tian was quite speechless.
