Chapter 34

Shen Yue could tell that something was wrong. “Do you guys have a grudge against each other?””Of course.” Sima Qi did not elaborate further. “Manager Shen, I’ll have to trouble you for your guidance.”After Sima Qi had hung up, Shen Yue quickly added her as a friend.Then, she added her to the group chat for the artistes she managed.”You should familiarize yourself with the artistes of the company first. If I’m busy, you can consult the company’s seniors for advice if you have any issues.”Sima M’er immediately said sensibly, “Manager Shen, I understand you’re busy, so please go ahead with your work first.”Shen Yue then stopped replying to her.Sima Qi was pulled into a WeChat group called “Manager Shen’s children”.As soon as she entered, she saw [email protected] Qi.Lang Qi: “Welcome to the newcomer! Little sister, are you a singer or an actor?”Someone in the group had immediately come out to chat.Sima Qi politely replied: “Hello seniors, I’m the Veiled Queen. I hope you will guide me in the future. Manager Shen has asked me to learn more from you.”Sima Qi’s humility instantly gave everyone a good feeling about her.There were only five people in the group, including Sima Qi.However, Sima Qi recognized that one was Bei Shi, a popular singer, and the other was Gong Hao, an A-list actor.Meanwhile, Lang Qi, who was welcoming her, was an actor in the drama series for which Sima Qi had just sing the theme song. Not only was he playing one of the characters in ‘The Peach Blossom is Still’, and he was the lead actor in that television series!As expected, when Lang Qi heard that Sima Qi was the Veiled Queen, he became even more excited, “Ah, so you’re the singer of the theme song. That song was sing so perfectly that I played it on repeat several times. We’ll probably be at the promotional event in a few days.”Bei Shi, the young singer, said, “So, you’re the Veiled Queen. I’ve heard that song too. You’re a capable person with a bright future ahead of you.”Lang [email protected] Hao: “Come out and welcome the newcomer.”After a while, Gong Hao, the young actor, said, “Welcome.”Sima Qi had not expected these seniors to be so friendly.On the other hand, there was something that Sima Qi did not know.The people in the group chat were also privately chatting with each other.Lang Qi privately messaged Gong Hao. “I’m very curious. Sister Shen has taken in the Veiled Singer, even though she’s a newcomer. Can you guess the true identity of this person?”Gong Hao: “I don’t know. I’m not interested. It doesn’t matter to me.”Lang Qi privately messaged the singer, Bei Shi, again with the same question.Bei Shi: “Aren’t you participating in an event with her? Maybe you’ll be able to see her real face then.”Lang Qi covered his mouth when he heard that. “That’s right. Maybe we’ll know more after the event in a few days.”Meanwhile, on the other side.At the moment, Zhang Rong was in the training room, guided by her vocal music teacher.”I don’t need to be brilliant. My only requirement is just to be able to sing this song steadily.”Zhang Rong knew her own ability.She would be decently good if she did not deviate from the key.The private vocal music teacher said in understanding, “I understand.”At the same time, she was dubious. How could a singer sing this way?All she could do was to correct her over and over again.The assistant quickly went forward during the break and handed Zhang Rong some water.Zhang Rong had sing until her mouth was dry, but she did not dare to relax.”What is Sima Qi doing now?” She asked.The assistant replied, “She’s arranging music in the office. She hasn’t left yet.”At the thought that Sima Qi did not seem to need to practice in advance, Zhang Rong could not help but feel even more annoyed.”We don’t have much to worry about. I have an idea.” Her trusted assistant leaned over and whispered into Zhang Rong’s ear, “When the time comes, we just need to make sure we don’t make any mistakes. Then when Sima Qi makes a big mistake, she won’t be able to compete with us.””What do you mean?” Zhang Rong’s eyes lit up….Sima Qi clocked out of work on time.The white sports car that usually picked her up had already stopped by the side of the road, so Sima Qi walked over to it.However, when she got closer, she saw a noble figure in the car’s back seat, through the window.Sima Qi’s eyes lit up.She immediately opened the car door and sat next to Shi Mo.Shi Mo looked up from the pile of documents and saw Sima Qi’s bright eyes. His heart skipped a beat.He could not help but stretch out his hand to tidy the unruly hair on her forehead before instructing the driver to drive.They returned to XiangYu Residence.The two of them had a sumptuous dinner together. Sima Qi suddenly asked, “Did you arrange for Zhang Rong to share the stage with me?”Shi Mo put down his chopsticks gracefully and looked up. “If you don’t want to do it, you can sing by yourself.”Sima Qi smiled and poured him a glass of wine. “I’m very satisfied with this arrangement.”Shi Mo looked at the already full glass of wine and silently raised the glass of wine. He downed it in one gulp and seemed to be slightly drunk.After the two of them had finished eating, one went to the study while the other went to the master bedroom to wash up.Sima Qi was in a good mood as she hummed a song in the bathroom.When she came out of the bathroom with a towel around her, she saw a figure in the dark room.
