The small celebration banquet in the conference room of Qingmai Entertainment continued, and Q, which had surpassed "Lian" this time, became the number one trending topic.

Wanzhou looked at the message pushed to her phone screen and pursed her lips.

Composer Q?

International composer Q! is his favorite composer! Huh? What happened? He's trending on social media.

Q, haven't you retired from the entertainment industry for a while now?

Driven by curiosity, he clicked on the red title at the top.

He never expected that someone he had absolutely no connection with would now appear on the same trending topics list as his work, and even be on the same side of the trending list.

His attention had somehow become focused on the information below "Pity".

Singer: Wan Zhou

Lyrics by: Qingmai Entertainment

...

Composer: Q!

Looking at the letter Q, he felt his breath catch in his throat.

The composer is Q? The composer of "Pity" is clearly Qi Jiu, so how did it suddenly become...?

Wait, a ridiculous thought popped into his head; he always felt like his brain wasn't working properly...

There's something I shouldn't say.

"Sizzle!" Wan Zhou suddenly stood up from his seat, knocking a large section of the chair behind him away.

Feng Nai was taken aback by his actions and stared blankly into his eyes, "Wh-what's wrong?"

Q.

Wanzhou looked at him blankly, and the moment that letter came out of his mouth, the expressions of the people around him changed.

They weren't unaware of the news online; they were all completely baffled. When did Q become a composer?

Upon hearing this, Feng Nai cleared his throat and asked, "Um, Q, what's wrong?"

Upon receiving Feng Nai's affirmation, Wan Zhou became even more excited, her lips trembling visibly, and her eyes held a complex expression as she looked at Qi Jiu.

Unbelievable, excited, crazy...

"So, Miss Qi, is Q, Q you?"

His eyes held expectation, as if he were waiting for her final answer.

Qi Jiu tilted her head slightly, looking at the blond boy, and smiled brightly. "Yes, it's me."

Wanzhou: "!!!"

Bystanders: "!!!"

What? What? What did they hear?

The eldest daughter of the Shen family who has always been by their side is Q, an internationally renowned composer who has been retired from the entertainment industry for some time.

Forgive them for having some doubts or even looking down on him at first; it turns out he's the great Q. My apologies for not respecting him.

Bai Mang looked at the wide-eyed people in front of him and nodded with some satisfaction.

Great, this is exactly the effect I wanted.

This feeling of showing off is amazing! Showing off is fun for a moment, and it's even more fun to keep doing it!

Qi Jiu: "..."

Feng Nai: "..."

"That's all for today, I have things to do this afternoon."

Qi Jiu looked at the empty wine glass and got up to leave. As she passed Wan Zhou, seeing that he clearly wanted to follow her, the girl forcefully pushed him back to his original position with a flick of her wrist.

"No need to send it, and don't be nervous. We've been getting along just fine before."

When Qi Jiu arrived downstairs at Qingmai Entertainment, she spotted a familiar figure not far away.

The man seemed to have noticed her too; his face, which had been expressionless, was now beaming with joy.

Such scenes are nothing new to her; now, she can tell who's standing there just by looking at a car.

"It's over? That old guy is already waiting."

Qi Jiu nodded and got into the car.

For some reason, she inexplicably clicked on the title of 'letter of introduction', which was still trending on social media.

Just as she expected, given her past scandal involving letters of introduction, more and more people on Weibo were criticizing her.

Every article criticizing her included a photo of her meeting Ji Shuo in a coffee shop, seemingly emphasizing the authenticity of the event.

"Why isn't this letter of introduction finished yet? Is this some kind of backdoor deal for Miss Shen?"

"I was wondering why Qi Jiu hadn't been going to school since she'd been back in China for a while. Turns out she was waiting here."

"Everyone, I checked, and Qi Jiu is only one year older than Shen Sisi. Shen Sisi is currently a freshman in high school and will soon be a sophomore. Qi Jiu is just 18 years old and should be a senior in high school soon. This is clearly a case of getting in through connections."

"How can someone like that have the nerve?"

"..."

For some reason, the girl smiled as she looked at the comments online.

Qi Silin, who had been watching her closely, pursed his lips. "Those were all unpleasant words, why are you smiling so happily?"

Qi Jiu twisted her neck to relax.

"Laugh at their stupidity. They start attacking before anything has even happened. They'll regret it later. Tsk tsk tsk."

There might have been a problem with the letter of introduction before, but there's still no result. What are they barking about?

Aren't you afraid she'll catch them off guard?

The car had been driving for an unknown amount of time when, as the girl got out, the gate sign of University A came into view.

School hasn't started yet, so everything seems a bit deserted. Only a handful of students staying on campus can be seen on the streets. They are very few in number.

As she walked through street after street, Qi Jiu looked at the somewhat familiar surroundings and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

The last time I was here was for Shen Cisheng. Time flies. Wendy's exchange program is over, and she has returned to her own country. University A has returned to peace and quiet.

Unfortunately, because of her, University A is once again embroiled in discussion.

University A President: "..."

I'm tired, really tired.

"Knock knock!"

The girl knocked on the door of the conference room at University A in a friendly manner, and then pushed the door open and entered.

What came into view was a group of people sitting around a conference table, men and women, young and old, all of whom were doing the same thing: staring at her with inquisitive eyes.

Each one of them was like an X-ray, wanting to examine her from the inside out.

In the main seat, an old man with a white beard snorted softly, his attitude somewhat strange, as if he did not welcome her.

Qi Jiu wasn't annoyed. Accompanied by Qi Silin, she walked confidently to the back of the conference table. She looked at the person opposite her, who was some distance away, and smiled somewhat smugly.

"Hello, I am Qi Jiu."

The old man with the white beard looked at her, feeling annoyed but unable to vent his anger at her relaxed demeanor.

"I know, of course I know you. Wasn't this year's letter of introduction in your possession? Or did Ji Shuo give it to you personally?"

He was glaring and furious; the mere mention of 'Ji Shuo' inexplicably ignited his anger.

Why is this person still waving around a letter of introduction?

The girl did not deny it, "Yes."

So the photos online are real?
