"I disagree! Li Mubai was recruited into the company by our Group 3, why should he be given to your Group?"
"That's right! First you stole Lin Yueyin, and now you're trying to take advantage of Li Mubai. Your group has such big appetites, aren't you afraid of choking?"
"President Zhou, please say something! Our three groups will not back down this time!"
The scene was a bit chaotic, and everyone looked at the middle-aged man sitting in the center. He was Zhou Rongze, the president of Tianrui Entertainment Company.
Zhou Rongze was already used to these people's arguments. He seemed to have a point in mind and said calmly, "Let's not talk about Li Mubai for now. Can any of you tell me what's going on with this Number Seven?"
Following Zhou Rongze's gaze, one could see a young man standing in front of a mirror, lost in thought, on monitor number seven.
"Mr. Zhou, his name is Lin Rui. He is a sophomore majoring in vocal music at Xiazhou Conservatory of Music."
As Zheng Jing introduced the situation, she carefully pushed Lin Rui's file in front of Zhou Rongze.
Zhou Rongze ignored the file in front of him and kept staring at monitor number seven, his brows slightly furrowed.
His silence doesn't mean others won't break it.
"It turns out he's a student who hasn't even graduated yet. Team Leader Zheng, Team Four is getting worse and worse. If you really can't find anyone, Team Two can find you a few good candidates."
"He looks quite professional, but he looks a bit dull and silly. I noticed that he's been standing in front of the mirror for almost fifteen minutes."
"Is he just too narcissistic? Does he really think that being good-looking is all it takes to get into Tianrui? What a joke, Tianrui has no shortage of handsome men and beautiful women."
"I think so too, haha!"
"Xiao Zheng, could it be your mistress?"
…
Faced with the sarcastic remarks from the other three groups, Zheng Jing's expression changed repeatedly.
Group Four is a newly formed team by Tianrui Entertainment, led by her. Because of her less seniority than the other three groups, she has repeatedly encountered setbacks in signing artists over the past six months.
With insufficient staff and no competitiveness, they naturally won't receive any company resources, let alone contribute to the company's performance.
Not long ago, Zheng Jing was spoken to privately by Zhou Rongze. If Group 4 continues to be half-dead, then it must be disbanded. Tianrui Entertainment does not support idle people!
Left with no other choice, Zheng Jing has been frequenting various art colleges lately, hoping to find some promising talents.
Lin Rui was one of the people she selected.
Seeing Lin Rui still staring blankly in front of the mirror, Zheng Jing was both angry and anxious. If it weren't for the rules, she would have rushed into Lin Rui's room and loudly questioned him about what he was up to!
Lin Rui, the perpetrator, was indeed completely bewildered at that moment.
Right now, he only has one question on his mind: He's traveled through time!
Because of the impact of his memories from this life, his memories of his previous life were greatly interrupted and became very blurry, to the point that he couldn't even remember what his name was in his previous life.
All he knew was that in his past life, he was a top star in the entertainment industry on that planet, possessing countless traffic secrets that made his peers envious and jealous. Not to mention scandals, even walking his dog could make it to the top of the trending topics.
Because he was constantly exposed to the spotlight, he gradually developed depression in his past life. Unable to bear the mental torment any longer, he lost control of his emotions and took a large amount of sleeping pills, ultimately taking his own life.
When he woke up again, he found himself in this room. Looking at the face in the mirror that was both unfamiliar and somewhat familiar, Lin Rui looked bewildered.
Undeniably, this appearance is what young girls see as an oppa, and mature women see as a cute puppy. Coupled with his slightly pale complexion, it can further arouse a woman's maternal instincts, making her unable to resist protecting him.
With her stunning good looks and towering height of 1.83 meters, she's like a potent poison to the opposite sex, possessing a fatal attraction.
As the memories of his two lifetimes continued to merge, Lin Rui gradually came to understand what kind of world he had transmigrated to.
It took Lin Rui a full minute to squeeze out a single word from his mind—Utopia!
There was no hunger, no smoke of war, and people were pursuing spiritual fulfillment through art and literature. Compared to the previous life, the artistic scene here was an unparalleled golden age!
Of course, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. It is precisely because of the world's enthusiasm for art and literature that the threshold for this field has been raised.
Trying to gain traffic with a few catchy pop songs or some trivial scandals is simply wishful thinking!
But so what?
Lin Rui, who was a top star in his previous life, felt no excitement whatsoever. He suffered from depression because he was constantly exposed to the spotlight and had no privacy. In the end, he lost control of his emotions and took his own life.
So even though the arts and literature field has gained an unprecedented status in this world, Lin Rui doesn't see it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The emotions he reveals are more of weariness and a desire to escape far away!
As the memories of his two lifetimes gradually merged, Lin Rui also realized why he was here.
Selection!
I'm seizing this opportunity that could make me a top celebrity!
"What is he trying to do!"
Zheng Jing, who had been staring at monitor number seven, almost lost her temper. She never expected that Lin Rui would suddenly wave at the camera, then open the door without looking back and walk out.
"Nonsense!"
Even with Zheng Jing's good temper, she was so angry that she stomped her feet and got up to leave the meeting room.
"What's the rush? We haven't left yet," Zhou Rongze said calmly.
Zheng Jing was taken aback upon hearing this. She turned to look at monitor number seven and saw that Lin Rui had already opened the door, but he hesitated to make any further moves. His expression became uncertain, as if he were facing a major life choice.
[To reiterate: Once you leave, the system will consider you to have abandoned the binding...]
【Do you want to unbind the account?】
Please confirm.
Lin Rui slowly withdrew his foot from the doorway. After confirming that he wasn't hallucinating, he gently closed the door, his heart not as calm as his face suggested.
In his previous life, he had read many online novels and was not unfamiliar with the plot of having a system. After all, even the time travel plot had appeared, so what else was unacceptable?
"How do I bind it?" Lin Rui asked in his mind.
bite!
[Host identity verification in progress...]
[Confirmation complete...]
【Do you want to bind your account?】

"Bind." Lin Rui thought to himself again.

At the same time, a virtual interface appeared in front of Lin Rui.

[Spend 1000 General Reputation to open the item room?]
1000 overall reputation?
If I'm not mistaken, his overall reputation is only 1041. Is he going to go all in on all his assets?
After a moment's hesitation, Lin Rui chose to activate it.
bite!
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully unlocked the new feature: Item Room]
[New feature successfully activated. The system will give the host a newcomer gift pack. Would you like to activate it?]
This time, Lin Rui did not hesitate at all and immediately chose to activate it.
What a joke! Only a fool wouldn't take something that's free!
bite!
[Newcomer Gift Pack successfully opened and sent to your inventory, please check...]
Filled with curiosity, Lin Rui opened the item room and saw a book in the first grid, which turned out to be a skill book!
[Piano Technique: Concert Level]...
The other grid contained a short audio clip with a line of text written on it.
—Song: "Those Years"
My fingertips unconsciously touched this audio, and suddenly, a message that seemed to be imprinted on my soul flooded into my memory.
Lin Rui was somewhat surprised. This song came from a parallel universe called Earth and was the theme song of a youth movie. As soon as it was released, it topped the charts and won numerous awards that year, and was even nominated for the most popular song in the world.
classic!
