Feeling uneasy under Shen Yun's gaze, Lin Rui wondered if he had said something wrong.

After looking Lin Rui up and down for a while, Shen Yun smiled and asked, "You really don't recognize me?"

Seeing Lin Rui's somewhat bewildered expression, Shen Yun felt a mix of amusement and exasperation, but also a slight sense of loss.

"The recording studio is just ahead. You can go in directly. I'll go upstairs to find Zheng Jing first." Shen Yun pointed to the corner of the corridor, then walked towards the elevator in her high heels.

At this moment, there were more than a dozen people standing outside the recording studio, all of whom were contracted artists under the company, and all handsome young men.

Seeing Lin Rui walking slowly towards them, many people looked on with wariness. Regardless of Lin Rui's singing ability, his stunning looks alone made him a formidable opponent.

They've come with ill intentions!

Li Mubai was also standing outside the recording studio. He had a vague impression of Lin Rui, after all, they had participated in the company's graduation season selection together that morning.

"Yang Qing, do you have any inside information?"

"This time it caused quite a stir. I heard that the bosses spent the whole afternoon making a scene in the composition department, and later even took it to President Zhou's office."

"Has Chen Tianye released a new song?"

"You know what, it really could be Chen Tianye's new song."

Yang Qing cleared his throat and shook his head, saying, "Don't make wild guesses, it's not Chen Tianye."

"Could it be Uncle Qiao? But that doesn't seem right. Uncle Qiao is good at folk music, which doesn't suit us."

"If it's not Chen Tianye, and it's not Uncle Qiao, then I don't understand. Who in the composition department has such power that they can make the bosses go crazy?"

Yang Qing lowered his voice and said, "I'll let you in on a secret. He's a new musician who just joined the company. Rumor has it that he's a master of both lyrics and music."

"Just joined? Do you know which company this top talent jumped ship from?"

"It's not a job change; apparently, he's just a newcomer to the industry."

Seeing the constipated expressions on everyone's faces, Yang Qing chuckled to himself.

Actually, he had a similar reaction when he first heard the news.

"A newbie? Are you kidding me?"

"It's outrageous that such a big fuss is made just because of a newcomer to the industry."

What good songs can a newcomer write?

"A master of both lyrics and music? Such high praise is bound to cause choking."

"Rumors really can't be trusted."

…

Listening to the cacophony of complaints from these people, Yang Qing sneered inwardly.

To succeed in the entertainment industry, good looks alone are not enough; you need to use your brain.

If this new recruit didn't have any skills, would the bosses have nothing better to do than cause such a scene in the composition department?

Li Mubai, who had been silent all along, also thought of this and, like Yang Qing, had no intention of reminding these people.

In the entertainment industry, every top star has the bones beneath their feet, including both colleagues and comrades!

Deceit and treachery!

Intrigue and backstabbing!

They eat people without spitting out the bones!

This is the true picture of the entertainment industry!

The recording studio was quickly set up, and the people promptly stopped talking. Apart from Li Mubai and Yang Qing, the others all showed disdain to varying degrees.

Without any hesitation, these people occupied all sixteen recording studios, leaving Lin Rui alone standing outside in line.

Half an hour later, Yang Qing was the first to walk out of the recording studio.

Despite his best efforts to remain composed, his trembling body, clenched fists, and bloodshot eyes were enough to show that he was extremely unsettled inside!

Li Mubai was the second to walk out of the recording studio, and even he, who had always maintained a cool and aloof demeanor, showed obvious signs of losing his composure.

As if sensing that he was being watched, Li Mubai suppressed the excitement in his blood, raised his head, and coldly stared at the person watching him.

Unsurprisingly, this person was Yang Qing.

Their eyes met, each filled with deep hostility; it was a clash of titans!

As more and more people emerged from the recording studio, the tension intensified, and the atmosphere became increasingly bizarre.

"You're here to audition too? What are you standing there for? Come on in."

The staff at the recording studio waved to Lin Rui.

Before Lin Rui could speak, someone said with a half-smile, "Brother, new here?"

"I just signed a contract with Sister Zheng this afternoon."

Lin Rui nodded.

"Four groups?"

The man looked disdainful, a playful smirk playing on his lips: "Take my advice, go back to where you came from. You can't handle Teacher Fusheng's song."
