All-rounder Artist

The workplace is a complex microcosm, where expecting harmonious relations between each department is a bit unrealistic. For example, in the music department of Thunderbolt Music, Manager Luo Qi and Deputy Manager Fan Longhe, represent two different voices.

In other words…

These two don’t get along.

Today’s scene is just a microcosm of the ongoing power struggle between the two managers. The employees of the music department are used to such conflicts.

That’s why everyone remained silent when Fan Longhe just proposed to replace the theme song of “Me and You”.

When immortals fight, it’s the mortals who suffer. It’s better to keep out of it. After all, this is a song decided by the manager in advance. The basic tone has been set. But Fan Longhe, as the deputy manager, wants to overturn it.

What signal is this?

This is obviously a declaration of war.

Openly saying that Fan Longhe despises your choice of theme song, Luo Qi! “Manager Luo.”

Fan Longhe smiled faintly: “I feel the quality of the theme song of ‘Me and You’ is not good enough. If we encounter more suitable works, we can replace it. After all, we all want this drama to be better.”

“Really?”

Luo Qj raised an eyebrow: “Don’t forget that this drama is about to be officially broadcasted in about a month. The company won’t delay the broadcast time for a song. And I don’t think there’s any problem with the current song. Now, you think there’s a problem with my taste.”

“You have misunderstood, but let’s not jump to conclusions too soon.”

Fan Longhe said, “If someone can create a better song within a month, why can’t we change it?”

Luo Qi asked: “Who are you looking for?”

Fan Longhe responded: “Teacher Admirable Fish.”

Luo Qi was not completely unfamiliar with this name: “The creator of ‘Big Fish’, but don’t you think a month is too short? Moreover, even if we call Mu Ying to sing again, she may not necessarily agree.”

“It might not be Mu Ying.”

Fan Longhe shook his head: “Teacher Admirable Fish will choose the singer himself. Of course, I will limit the scope of this choice within the company. He will also participate in the recording process personally, as he is currently in Qi Continent.”

The meeting room suddenly became lively.

Does Admirable Fish really have such a demand?

Luo Qi stared at Fan Longhe with slight exaggeration: “Who gave Admirable Fish such authority?”

Fan Longhe remained silent.

He also acknowledged that Admirable Fish’s request was somewhat unruly, but it was this unruliness that increased Fan Longhe’s expectations of Admirable Fish.

“Deputy Manager Fan.”

Luo Qi casually said: “Are you crazy or am I? Now you not only want to change Mu Ymg’s song, but you also plan not to let Mu Ying participate in the recording of the new song. She, as a top female singer in Qi Continent, would have worked for nothing in the past?”

“How did she work for nothing? Isn’t that song still ours? Just find an opportunity to release it in the future.”

After thinking about it, Fan Longhe added: “Of course, I will also try my best to let Mu Ying sing the new song. After all, Mu Ying’s vocal conditions are excellent. If Admirable Fish insists on choosing someone else, then I really can’t help it.”

“I disagree.”

Luo Qi coldly stated.

Fan Longhe insisted: “Teacher Admirable Fish has a very strong creative ability. Although a month’s time is somewhat short, he might be able to write a better song than the current one. I have great confidence in him!”

“What confidence?”

Luo Qi lightly smiled: “I have a feeling you just want to overthrow my song and prove that my previous choices as a manager were wrong. Since you have so much confidence in Admirable Fish, would you dare to take responsibility for this?”

Everyone’s heart skipped a beat.

The juicy part was finally coming.

Now it’s no longer about the issue of changing songs, but a clash between the manager and deputy manager in the workplace.

Whoever’s song is selected by the company in the end will take the upper hand.

This has always been the fiercest battlefield between the manager and the deputy manager.

And obviously, Luo Qi is now taking the advantage.

Because Fan Longhe’s side is full of unknowns!

Who knows if Admirable Fish can do it?

And let’s not forget, it’s only a month!

Fan Longhe’s expression changed a bit, as he really didn’t know if Admirable

Fish could write a better song.

After all, the originally decided theme song wasn’t particularly bad.

After all, it was meticulously chosen by Thunderbolt.

But Fan Longhe just thought that it could be improved.

He hadn’t planned to start a war with Luo Qi today, but apparently, everyone thought he did. Had he initiated a happy charge?

In today’s meeting, he just wanted to remind everyone not to rush into choosing the songs. Yet Luo Qi suddenly appeared out of nowhere and made him the center of attention. Now he could not even decline the battle.

He then realized that his impromptu actions indeed seemed like an act of provocation.

Because today, just hearing Admirable Fish’s name somehow boosted his confidence, making him hastily call for this meeting. But Luo Qi caught him there, and he couldn’t even explain why he had such confidence in Admirable Fish. Was it because his buddies from Qin Continent had been touting Admirable Fish so much that it got to him?

Should he back down first?

Should he just say he was observing the situation?

If he did that today, his prestige would be lost, and there would be no use ever trying to challenge Luo Qi again. Where do you see someone who challenges and then backs down?

After a long silence, he finally said, “If Teacher Admirable Fish cannot produce better songs, I’ll go with your decisions on the music roles for the rest of this year’s three TV dramas.”

“It’s your word!”

Luo Qi was overjoyed.

Fan Longhe was the only one in the music department who could dissent with

Luo Qi. Their constant disputes were precisely for these stakes, weren’t they?

“Yes, I just said it.”

Fan Longhe looked up at Luo Qi: “But if Ade Admirable Fish’s songs are better, what would Director Luo say?”

“What does it have to do with me?”

Luo Qi wouldn’t fall for this trick: “You’re the one who wanted to change songs and gave Admirable Fish the right to mess around, I’m the one whose judgment you are questioning…”

Fan Longhe stared at her.

Knowing that she had to give in a little, Luo Qi could only snort, “If Admirable

Fish can produce a good song, the decision on the next drama is yours.”

“Let’s settle on this then.”

Fan Longhe didn’t argue any further. His impulsive actions indeed got the best of him today. He should have waited for a definitive response from Admirable Fish.

But he couldn’t.

If he didn’t call this meeting and the company decided on the songs, it would be too late for him to bring up changing songs.

This was why Fan Longhe disliked Luo Qi.

Luo Qi prioritized her own interests and always played safe at work.

While he put the company’s interests first and strived to achieve the best in every task.

Of course,

Fan Longhe was not that noble.

He admitted, he had selfish motives too.

All his efforts were to impress the company.

If he couldn’t perform better than Luo Qi, he would forever be her assistant.

So, many times, he had to take risks and be aggressive to outshine Luo Qi and grab opportunities to prove himself.

But this time…

He was too eager.

That’s why he was caught off guard by Luo Qi today.

Now he could only gamble!

Gamble that Admirable Fish could write a theme song within a month that would surpass the current one!

The question is…

Would Admirable Fish agree to take on such a challenging task? That was the unknown factor.

Not to mention whether he could even write a better piece than the current theme song.

If it didn’t work, his ambition of getting promoted would be thwarted for at least the following two years.

Previously, it was his keen eye for music that allowed him to compete with Luo Qi as a mere assistant.

This is really playing against the big boys.
