Chapter 18

To Sima Qi, writing lyrics came easily to her. Previously, she had always hogged the microphone at karaoke parties.If she could remember some past lyrics, she could just randomly find a few lines and put them together. It would be a top-quality masterpiece.”I don’t want you to comfort me anymore. I don’t want you to say that you care anymore”Dry your tears. This is the last time.”Sima Qi nodded her head, feeling good.”Although I’ve been hurt,”I feel at ease now because of him. “His strength has made me believe in love again. “He has erased the past and become a better version of myself. “With him around, I won’t be afraid anymore”I won’t be weak, I won’t compromise, I won’t cower”…Sima Qi was very satisfied with the lyrics that she just had written.Very soon, she had finished writing a beautiful song. The lyrics were about being reborn after being hurt by love.Sima Qi quickly emailed the lyrics to Manager Yu.That afternoon, Sima Qi, who had been studying hard, suddenly received a phone call as she was giving her back a stretch.”Sister Sima.”As soon as she heard the sweet voice on the other end, Sima Qi felt goosebumps all over her body.”Is Madam President looking for me?”Today, the entire company group was celebrating the fact that Zhang Rong and Mu Xiao were now a couple.Many even spoke ill of Sima Qi to win Zhang Rong’s favor.Of course, Sima Qi was not unaware of this.What good could there be if Zhang Rong was calling her at this time?”Sister Sima, come to my concert venue immediately. You need to sing for me, the same as you did before.”Sima Qi said in disbelief, “What did you say?”Was Zhang Rong asking Sima Qi to provide her voice for Zhang Rong to lip-synch to?It did not seem like this was the first time it had happened.Zhang Rong said, “This is also one of your tasks. I hope you will be able to complete it well, since it’s all for the company.”Sima Qi asked, “Why don’t you sing yourself?”Zhang Rong coughed violently. “You know that my voice has never been very good, and it’s not suitable for long-term singing. It’s settled then. I’ll get my assistant to bring you over.”She quickly hung up.Not long after, Zhang Rong’s assistant pushed the door open and arrogantly said, “Follow me.”The assistant led the way immediately after she finished speaking.Sima Qi: “…”Was Zhang Rong’s assistant now able to order her around as well?She was curious to see how she was supposed to help Zhang Rong sing!Backstage at the concert venue.When the stylists saw Sima Qi appear, they immediately gathered around her.They changed her clothes and styled her.They placed a gauzy veil on her head so no one could see her face clearly.Sima Qi asked curiously, “Where’s Zhang Rong?”The assistant replied coldly, “Zhang Rong isn’t feeling well, so she won’t be coming today. Anyway, you’re familiar with the songs, since they’re all of your classic songs.”Sima Qi realized that the entire team was not at all surprised by her arrival.Was Zhang Rong genuinely not feeling well, or did she not know how to sing?If she was being asked to sing on her behalf every time, there was only one possibility.They must be relying heavily on auto-tune when they record the songs.It was clear that Zhang Rong did not dare to appear in the concert because she was afraid of being exposed.Interesting.Sima Qi quickly took out her phone and typed a few words.”Husband, please help me find out where Zhang Rong is right now. It’s best if you post what she’s doing on the Internet.”She would help her by going on stage.However, she could not be blamed if her true identity was to be exposed.On the other end, Shi Mo quickly replied, “I’ll arrange it right away.”A few minutes later, Sima Qi went on stage.The fans below the stage immediately cheered.”Rong ‘er, I love you.””Sister, you’re so beautiful.”The accompaniment started to play. As expected, it was a song that Sima Qi had heard before.When Sima Qi opened her mouth to sing, her ethereal voice caused the entire venue to fall silent.Everyone gazed at Sima Qi with admiration.One of the reasons Zhang Rong had so many loyal fans was that her songs sounded good and she was also a very capable singer. Every time she sang, it was perfection.Each time, she was more stunning than the last.Especially now, as Sima Qi was singing “I’ll Accompany You To Eternity”, “I Miss You Ten Thousand Times”, “I Long For You To Hug Me Again”. These were clearly love songs, but now, it sounded as if they were sung by someone who had experienced it all before.The interpretation of the songs was new.All the netizens who were watching were stunned. They were all captivated.Sima Qi also enjoyed the feeling of being on stage.She especially loved the voice that was coming out of her mouth. It sounded so clear and complimented her singing skills perfectly.Sima Qi felt this concert was hers, not Zhang Rong’s.On the other side.Zhang Rong was hiding out in a cafe, drinking coffee as she watched the live broadcast of the concert.She was also stunned by Sima Qi’s performance.She had already booked out the cafe in advance.Therefore, Zhang Rong would never have thought that someone would appear behind her, as she held up her phone to play the live broadcast.
