BXBX NOVEL Chapter 342 - You’ll Regret It
Chapter 342: You’ll Regret It
“It’s just a million or so. A few of my bags and clothes are already more than that.”
“Yeah, who can’t afford it? If you lose, don’t cry!”
The girls arrogantly agreed to this bet because they wanted to show off. Shen Xi looking down on them was an insult to their pride.
Besides, a newcomer who hadn’t even debuted could not beat Brother Yan. It was probably easier if that singer went back to his mother’s womb and waited for his reincarnation.
“Sister, it’s not easy for you to earn money. Let’s just forget about it…” Su Ruowan looked at Shen Xi and reminded her kindly.
It sounded as if she was doing Shen Xi a favor, but in reality, she was actually reminding others that Shen Xi’s family background was not as good as theirs. Shen Xi could only earn money by working for others.
Su Ruowan’s companions immediately felt superior and ridiculed Shen Xi incessantly. “Yeah, Shen Xi’s a country bumpkin, so how can she compare to us young ladies who were born rich?”
Shen Xi was, in the end, just a commoner. Even if she was Jiang Yin’s apprentice and went on to become a designer, her lowly origins would remain. She was still a worker bee and they would eventually be her boss one day.
Shen Xi sneered and smirked with eyes cold and mocking. “You should worry about yourself. Isn’t spending your own money better than being a parasite and squandering other people’s money, in case no one pays for you anymore?”
Su Ruowan’s hand had already clenched into a fist, hung by her side. Her nails sunk deep into her palm, but her face remained gentle. “Since you’ve decided, I won’t say anything.”
‘This damned little b*tch! Is she jinxing me to be kicked out of the Su family and I won’t have any money to spend?! I won’t let her get what she wants, no matter what it takes! I’ll stay in the Su family and be the only Young Miss Su. I won’t let her set foot in my house!’
The two parties came to an agreement that whichever were to lose would buy 10,000 copies of the other party’s album.
The International Class had eleven girls, and the Top Class had only seven.
Su Ruowan was secretly delighted. If only the entire International Class was there, she would be able to boost sales for her second brother’s new album. They were really dumb. How could a newcomer beat Second Brother?
Chen Bingbing whispered, “The International Class students are really dumb*sses!”
The other girls had the same opinion. It was exalting the International Class to even say they were dumb. They felt their intelligence somehow decreased just by sharing the same space with such stupid people.
Chu Ying secretly begged for praise and approached Shen Xi, “Xixi, how did I do?”
“Pretty good!” Shen Xi looked at her and smiled appreciatively.
She did not expect to rake in 70,000 copies worth of sales for Qi Xiu in a meal. Shen Xi was a pretty decent boss who was dedicated and always had the best interest for her employees in mind. She might even give herself a “Most Dedicated Boss” award.
Chu Ying’s heart was racing and jumping. ‘Ah! Xixi was smiling at me and complimented me!’
After winning the bet on “The Smiling Nation”, the International Class had complete faith in Shen Xi. They would do whatever she said without questions asked.
Besides, this bet was only a million yuan, which was only a fraction of what they had won in the previous bet.
After lunch, Shen Xi did not return to class and instead asked Chu Ying to request a leave of absence on her behalf so she could slip out.
If the Su family wanted to play games, Shen Xi would play a bigger one.
She had initially wanted to take two leaps forward and get Qi Xiu to release a full album, but after a meeting with her big brother and Qi Xiu, she decided to compromise and release a single instead.
When Qi Xiu’s popularity had risen, they would then seize the opportunity to release an album.
Now, she wanted to change her mind and get Qi Xiu to release a full album. She would write three main songs and get him to sing them.
As a top music producer in the entertainment industry, Shen Xi was a legendary musician who wrote thousands of hit songs. She was responsible for more than half of the famous singers’ hits in the entertainment industry.
Music Legends, Giants, Divas, Kings, and Queens were shot to fame because they sang songs written by her. They even won many domestic and international awards.
Tianheng Entertainment was the management company for Su Muyan, and the biggest shareholder was Su Yi.
Shen Xi changed into some baggy clothes and paired them with a black snapback. She stuffed her long hair into the cap and used her amazing makeup techniques to turn herself into a slim, young guy who’s into hip-hop.
Her temperament underwent a drastic change too. She had high cheekbones, sunken cheeks, an ashen face, and dark circles under her eyes. Her eyebrows were drawn thick and her big eyes became listless and lazy.
To put it simply, she looked like she was sleep-deprived. In other words, she looked like a young drug addict that was wasting her life away.
Across the street, a slightly fat middle-aged man in casual clothes came over, followed by two bodyguards.
Shen Xi saw her target and rushed towards him. She stopped him and timidly introduced herself. “Hello, M-Mr. Ma… My name is Xixi and I’m a music producer.”
Ma Chao was in a hurry, so he was annoyed when he was suddenly blocked. He threw a disdainful glance at the teenager in front of him and impatiently shoved the boy aside. “Get out of my way!”
‘Who the hell is this dude? This boy doesn’t look like a music producer, more like a drug addict or a hungry refugee with no place to go!’
“W-wait a minute!” Shen Xi looked alarmed and chased after him. She then forced the paper into Ma Chao’s hand. “This is a song I spent three years writing. You must take it to Su Muyan! He’ll definitely go viral all over China! It’ll win him many awards!”
Ma Chao frowned and pushed her away grumpily. He looked at the crumpled greasy paper that was stuffed into his hands and threw it away without any hesitation.
The moment the paper drifted away, Ma Chao saw two large words “Green Silk”.
Ma Chao watched as the ugly boy behind him picked up the paper and tried to catch up to him. He yelled at the bodyguard, “What are you guys doing? Hurry up and get rid of him!”
‘Hmph! Scum!’
As the manager who single-handedly made Su Muyan famous, many who claimed to be producers came to him on a daily basis and begged for an opportunity. There were too many to count, but this was the first time Ma Chao saw such a sloppy and disgusting one.
Shen Xi was still keeping up her act. She shouted sincerely, “Mr. Ma, you’ll regret it! You’ll absolutely regret not using my song!”
