Zhou Rongze felt very aggrieved.

Last night, we first got stuck in traffic, then were questioned at a checkpoint for a long time, and by the time we were allowed to pass, we had already wasted a lot of time.

I rushed into the Golden Hall in a panic, and when I saw what was going on, I almost fainted – the tour was almost over!

I didn't sleep well all night because of this.

I arrived at the company today with panda eyes. I heard that Lin Rui was having a big rehearsal in the music room. Without saying or asking anything, I rushed to the music room.

And then, just like now, we're staring blankly at the tightly closed door.

"I swear, I'll tear this door down tomorrow!"

Zhou Rongze gritted his teeth.

He designed this door back then, but now, I just can't stand looking at it.

The first piano master in Xiazhou's history!

A pop-up ceiling!

He missed the Golden Hall performance and was already kicking himself for it.

At this moment, he was turned away again at his own company.

This is outrageous!

He is the CEO of Tianrui Entertainment!

This is his territory!

Enraged, Zhou Rongze made a move to kick the door.

But as soon as he lifted his front foot, he put it back down.

"Never mind, never mind."

Zhou Rongze looked somewhat dejected.

He squatted on the ground, completely disregarding his image, took out a cigarette, and smoked the loneliness that only he understood.

Just then, an unfamiliar number called.

"who!"

Zhou Rongze was already depressed, so his tone was naturally not good.

"Li Donglai."

…

When Lin Rui arrived at the Xiazhou Art Association, it was nearly eleven o'clock.

The reason for the long delay is that Lin Rui wanted to record a high-quality version of the video.

To achieve this, the size of the accompaniment team would need to be doubled.

This also meant that the accompaniment team needed time to gel, and Lin Rui was only satisfied after more than ten rehearsals.

At this moment, in addition to the USB drive containing the video, Lin Rui was also holding two documents in his hand.

One document is the copyright registration document for "Leaving Xiazhou", and the other is the authorization document for "Leaving Xiazhou".

Both documents were drafted with the help of the copyright department.

Originally, these matters were to be handled by the copyright department, but considering that it was on the way and that it was also to sign an authorization agreement with Xu Hongzhuo, Lin Rui took the initiative to take it on.

Of course, the copyright department also suggested sending an assistant to accompany him, but Lin Rui declined.

Where can I register the copyright?

"Which company are you from? Even where are you registered..."

A young woman who looked to be in her early twenties looked up impatiently.

But he swallowed his words halfway through.

At that moment, the young woman's expression changed, and she put on a smile, her tone becoming gentle.

"Second floor, Copyright Protection Center."

Which company are you from?

"It's not busy right now, let me take you up."

The young woman was extremely enthusiastic, her eyes sparkling.

handsome!

So cool!

Which company's young heartthrob is this?

How come I have no recollection of it at all?

He's not very old, could he be a newcomer?

With that face and that physique, it would be an absolute injustice if he didn't become famous!

The young woman secretly made up her mind to find an opportunity to take a photo with Lin Rui later!

"Thanks."

Lin Rui responded politely.

Having someone to guide you saves you a lot of trouble.

The young woman was a chatterbox, constantly finding topics to talk about along the way.

Her name is Luo Zheng. She claims to be the image representative of the Xiazhou Art Association. She says her work is very tiring and she is not allowed to leave her post. Her main responsibilities include handling customer visits, registration, and phone transfers.

It sounds prestigious, but in reality, it's just a receptionist job.

Upon entering the copyright protection center, Lin Rui encountered an acquaintance who wasn't exactly a close friend.

He Changxing.

“It’s you.”

He Changxing was quite surprised; he didn't expect to run into Lin Rui at the copyright protection center.

What a small world!

As if making a connection to something, he immediately fixed his gaze on the documents in Lin Rui's hand.

"You're here to register a copyright?"

"yes."

Lin Rui nodded.

"Hasn't this been Brother Li's responsibility all along?"

He Changxing's face darkened as he thought of something.

Brother Li is a seasoned veteran in Tianrui Entertainment's copyright department; he's always been the one handling the company's copyright registration.

Furthermore, the copyright department has more than one employee. Even if Brother Li is unable to come due to personal matters, it's not Lin Rui's place to get involved in this mess.

"It was just on the way."

Lin Rui frowned slightly.

"You two know each other?"

Luo Zheng recognized He Changxing and looked Lin Rui up and down with interest: "Are you an artist from Tianrui Entertainment?"
