Chapter 419: A Couple

“Not until you find the people that I want.” Shen Xi smiled. “But you can give me the list of singers who have approached me for lyrics.”

Shen Xi was aware that she could not limit herself to writing songs for her company’s singers. She had to expand to the entire music industry and the whole entertainment circle for Su Muyan to experience the despair of not obtaining what he longed for.

“Okay,” Yuan Yu agreed.

Qi Xiu excused himself and the two talked for a while before Shen Xi left.

To Shen Xi’s surprise, she bumped into Fu Junqiu at the lobby who seemed to be waiting for her. Fu Junqiu went straight to the point. “Girl, do you wanna jump ship?”

Shen Xi felt that everyone in the Fu family was extremely frank and never beat around the bush. She liked straightforward people so she answered frankly, “Not interested.”

She was a boss and she did not intend to be a celebrity or a public figure.

“Don’t reject me yet! Why don’t you sign with my company? I promise to make you popular. Y’know, I made Fu Qingye popular.” Fu Junqiu followed behind Shen Xi persistently.

‘This girl is good-looking and has a good temperament. As long as I package her well, she’ll certainly make it big!’

“Don’t you want to be the first female star in China to go international like Fu Qingye? He’s famous around the world!” Fu Junqiu continued to tempt her and the most enticing example was naturally Fu Qingye.

He was the first Chinese star to become a renowned worldwide hit. Any random person on the street would know of him.

“Nope,” Shen Xi replied briefly. “I’m going to medical school and I wanna be a doctor, so I won’t join the entertainment industry.”

It was too much of a trouble to be a public figure because there were fans everywhere. People would recognize her and she would not have any privacy or personal space. She would be followed by paparazzi and get tied up by public opinion. Shen Xi had been an international superstar once when she transmigrated, so it was enough.

“It’s such a pity…” Fu Junqiu sighed and was a little disappointed. On second thought, she asked, “Then do you know the music composer Xixi? Do you have their contact information?”

Shen Xi shook her head. “No.”

Only then did Fu Junqiu let go of Shen Xi’s hand and look at Shen Xi’s cold and lonely back. “Thanks for bringing me inside.”

Shen Xi said without looking back, “You’re welcome.”

The car across the street was still quietly parked by the roadside. When Shen Xi came out, the car window lowered and revealed the man’s side profile that was half-hidden in the shadows.

The moment Shen Xi saw him, the corners of her lips unconsciously hooked up. Her steps became lighter and her sorrows were washed away. Just when she was about to get into the car, she tripped.

Li Yuan’s reflexes were quick. He grabbed her arm with one hand and her waist with the other before he spun around and carried her into the car.

He was so swift that when Shen Xi tilted her head, her nose hit his chest. She felt sore and felt a warm liquid dripping from her nose.

Fu Junqiu was standing at the entrance of Cosmos Entertainment and saw Shen Xi stumble as she was getting into the car before she was carried by the man inside. The man’s eyes were dark and deep, with a sharp murderous aura that seemed to be seeping out.
