"Who are you?"

Lin Rui felt that the girl looked familiar, but for the moment he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.

"You don't recognize me?"

Lin Yueyin tilted her head, looking surprised.

Is it that line again?

Can't you try something new?

Why do so many people keep asking this question lately?

Moreover, they were all women.

Lin Rui began to doubt himself. Could it be that he had been single for a long time in both his past and present lives, which made him somewhat face-blind when looking at the opposite sex, leading to a decline in his memory?

Lin Rui's self-doubting expression made Lin Yueyin a little embarrassed: "Teacher Fusheng, my name is Lin Yueyin. I participated in the company's graduation season selection with you."

Lin Rui suddenly realized why he looked familiar.

The company had put up some promotional posters featuring Li Mubai and Lin Yueyin, originally planning to launch a major campaign during graduation season.

However, because of his unexpected success during the graduation season, which disrupted Tianrui Entertainment's previous plans, the publicity was put on hold.

"Hello." Lin Rui nodded politely. "However, I don't like this way of inviting you. Since we're in the same company, you can just come to the composition department to find me."

"Did Xi Yuan offend the teacher?"

"If she did anything wrong, I will apologize to the teacher on her behalf."

Lin Yueyin's words revealed sincerity, which greatly eased Lin Rui's displeasure: "Never mind."

"Actually, I have been to the composition department, but the teacher is never at the company."

"As a public figure, I was worried that my sudden appearance at the school would have an unnecessary impact on the teachers."

"So, I had to ask my mischievous cousin to help me invite the teacher here."

Lin Yueyin maintained a very humble attitude throughout.

As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face, which somehow prevented Lin Rui from getting angry.

“Actually, if anything happens, you can call me,” Lin Rui sighed.

"It's not very polite to call on the first meeting, and I also want to leave a good impression on the teacher."

As Lin Yueyin spoke, she poured tea for Lin Rui.

"Speak, what do you want from me?"

"I'd like to commission a few songs from the teacher."

Lin Yueyin stared intently at Lin Rui with her beautiful eyes: "Regarding the copyright price, teacher, please rest assured, I guarantee I will negotiate until you are satisfied."

"Custom songs?"

"copyright?"

Lin Rui was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, as long as the teacher can write the corresponding song according to my requirements, I will pay a sum of money to buy the full copyright of the song."

In Lin Yueyin's mind, anything that money can solve is not a problem.

Her family is wealthy and powerful; she has no shortage of material possessions.

Lin Yueyin, who comes from a wealthy family, firmly believes that money can make the devil turn the millstone.

This is the philosophy her parents instilled in her from childhood.

"Sorry, I refuse."

Lin Rui flatly refused.

Lin Yueyin was completely taken aback by this outcome.

She looked at Lin Rui with a puzzled expression: "Teacher Fusheng, I'm willing to offer three million for each song. You should know that this price is astronomical, even for top producers."

"This is not about money."

Four million!

"My stance remains the same as before."

Five million!

Lin Yueyin bit her pink lips. She felt that Lin Rui was trying to raise the price, which made her a little angry.

Lin Rui took a deep look at Lin Yueyin and, to be honest, was quite disappointed.

His first impression of Lin Yueyin was that she was as pure as a lotus emerging from the water.

But after talking with her, what struck me most about Lin Yueyin was the stench of money that had seeped into her very bones.

Naturally, I was not pleased.

Everyone loves gold and silver, and Lin Rui is no exception.

But a gentleman loves wealth, but he acquires it in a proper way.

Even if he did have songs suitable for Lin Yueyin, he wouldn't compromise his principles for money.

Copyright, not for sale!

Moreover, if he can't find a suitable singer for a song obtained through the system, he'd rather let it rot in the storage room than take it out.

People are choosing songs, and songs are also choosing people.

This is respect.

It's also an attitude.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."

Without giving Lin Yueyin a chance to stay, Lin Rui suddenly stood up, pushed open the door, and left.

"Lin Rui, you're too arrogant!"

"I refuse to believe that no one but you can write good songs!"

You will regret what you did today!

Watching Lin Rui's departing figure, Lin Yueyin gritted her teeth, her face filled with hatred.

From childhood to adulthood, she was a little princess cherished and pampered by her parents, and no one ever dared to refuse her.

Lin Rui, who left room 206, was also very upset. He regretted coming to the appointment and making things difficult for himself for no reason.

As they were walking, a door to a private room was suddenly pushed open, and at the same time, a figure crashed into them.

Feeling the softness from the side and the faint fragrance of her breath, Lin Rui knew, even though he couldn't see her face clearly, that it was a woman.

Lin Rui is no longer a sickly person; after being bumped like that, his body didn't budge an inch.

"ah!"

"Sister Yun?"

Despite the mask on, Lin Rui recognized her at a glance; it was none other than Shen Yun.

At this moment, Shen Yun's eyes were red, clearly indicating that she had just been crying.

Considering his earlier hasty escape from the private room, which suggested a desperate and reckless escape, Lin Rui's expression darkened.

"Sister Yun, did someone inside bully you?"

As Lin Rui spoke, he pushed open the door to the private room.

There was a sleazy-looking man with a receding hairline, leaning back in his chair, typing away on his laptop.

"How dare you bully Sister Yun, I..."

Lin Rui made a move as if he was about to punch the Mediterranean man.

His appearance startled Mediterranean, whose small eyes showed both panic and bewilderment.

He seemed confused as to how he had offended this young man who had suddenly barged in.

"Xiao Rui, don't misunderstand!" Shen Yun hurriedly pulled Lin Rui back: "He's my friend."

"ah?"

Lin Rui was stunned: "Sister Yun, what exactly is going on?"

The sadness, resentment, and humiliation in Shen Yun's eyes were absolutely genuine.

So his first reaction was that he had been bullied by the people in the private room.

But perhaps I've misunderstood?

"Miss Shen, I have done my best to handle the matter you entrusted to me. I'm sorry, I really can't help you."

"You go first, I'll transfer the money to you later."

"Thank you, then I won't bother you any longer."

Mediterranean reacted quickly, and after a little thought, he figured out most of the situation.

It wasn't appropriate to stay any longer, so he quickly made an excuse to leave.

"Really, I'm letting you see me so out of control."

Inside the private room, Shen Yun took off her mask, her mood calming down a bit.

However, it's clear that she's still out of control emotionally.

"You don't mind if I have a drink?"

Shen Yun poured herself a glass of red wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Seemingly not satisfied with just one cup, he poured two more, as if in a fit of pique, and drank them down in one gulp.

Seeing that Shen Yun was about to pour another full glass, Lin Rui was about to advise her against it when Shen Yun suddenly looked up and laughed hysterically.

"Back then, you were the ones who said I would affect his future."

"I chose to leave for him."

"I have no regrets."

"Perhaps we will never have a future together in this lifetime, but so what? I like him."

Is it wrong to like someone?

"That's right."

Shen Yun raised her cup again and drank it all in one gulp.

"Over the years, in the quiet of the night, I can't help but think about all the little things I shared with him."

"Although the ending was already predetermined, I have no regrets, because I know that we love each other deeply!"

"But why?!"

"I swore I wouldn't go looking for him, why won't you let me go?"

"This is all I have left, my only solace. Why are you so cruel as to take away my last shred of hope?"

"Answer me, why!"

Shen Yun gradually became hysterical.

Finally, he collapsed onto the table and wept bitterly.

Lin Rui stood quietly by her side, hesitant to speak, unsure how to comfort Shen Yun.

But he knew that Shen Yun's loss of composure must be related to the man Zheng Jing mentioned, and the family behind him.

At the rate Shen Yun is drinking, she's bound to get completely drunk, so he can't just leave her here and ignore her.

But men and women are different, so he couldn't possibly take Shen Yun to a hotel room.

Although the person is innocent, the impact is still negative and can easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

So, Lin Rui secretly sent Zheng Jing a text message, asking her to come and pick him up.

Half an hour later, Zheng Jing hurriedly entered the private room and looked at Shen Yun, who had fallen into a coma due to the aftereffects of the attack. A look of helplessness appeared on her face.

"Xiao Rui, thank goodness you're here."

A drunk woman, who is also charming and alluring, might be picked up by someone with ill intentions; who knows what might happen!

Thinking about this, Zheng Jing felt a wave of fear.
