Chapter 32

Naturally, Zhang Rong’s expression was not pleasant. She said to Sima Qi’s colleagues in the Music Arrangement department, “When Sima Qi comes to the company today, ask her to come and see me immediately.”If she had not asked Sima Qi to sing for her, Sima Qi would not have become popular.Who would have thought she would actually snatch the song that belonged to her.Zhang Rong was furious.However, she did not dare to let others know that the Veiled Queen was Sima Qi.Zhang Rong looked at the music chart with a depressed expression.Suddenly, she looked at her assistant and said, “Think of a way to tarnish the reputation of the Veiled Queen.”The assistant also knew who the Veiled Queen was. As for the others who knew her identity, they had already been fired by Zhang Rong and given hush money.The assistant said, “Sister Zhang, we can incite the fans’ emotions. Some fans have already boycotted Sima Qi’s Weibo.””Furthermore, no matter what, the Veiled Queen was only your stand-in. It’s intolerable for a stand-in to steal the song from the lead. The fans will definitely side with us.”Zhang Rong nodded. “I’ll leave it to you then.”When Sima Qi arrived at the office, her colleagues who usually treated her as if she were invisible, were surprisingly paying attention to her.An ace music arranger’s working hours were flexible. It could not be because she was late.Just as Sima Qi was puzzling over it, a colleague walked towards Sima Qi and rudely said, “Miss Zhang asked you to look for her.”Sima Qi blinked. “Did I hear wrongly? If she wants to see me, ask her to look for me. Don’t forget, I’m still her music arranger.”Normally, when an artiste met with an arranger who wrote songs for them, they would address the person as a teacher.Furthermore, most of Zhang Rong’s songs had been written by Sima Qi.It was only right to treat Sima Qi with respect.The colleague had not expected Sima Qi to say that. However, he could not refute her when he realized what was happening.As an arranger himself, he could not possibly destroy his own prestige.Sima Qi patted the colleague on the shoulder and said, “It’s alright. If an artiste wants to meet with me again, remember to let her find me herself.”After saying that, Sima Qi gracefully walked into her office.The other colleagues looked at each other and suddenly realized what was happening.Usually, they showered Zhang Rong with praise. However, her success was also because of Sima Qi’s songs.If it had been any other artist, they would have reached Zhang Rong’s current success level if they had also used Sima Qi’s songs.Suddenly, they had a sense of pride as a songwriter….”I’ve heard the version of this song that had been recorded by Goddess Zhang. It’s not any worse than the Veiled Queen’s. So, how did an unknown become selected to sing this song? Is this reasonable?”On the Internet, under the Veiled Queen’s Weibo account, many Zhang Rong’s fans were cursing and swearing.Sima Qi did not know about this.She had two Weibo accounts, and at this moment, she was logged into the Weibo account of the songwriter Sima Qi.She also used this account to repost the song “Don’t Hurt Me Again” from the Veiled Queen and liked it for a while.This was called ‘sharing your own account with each other’.After doing all this, Sima Qi did not bother to give any more attention to Weibo.Little did she know there was a war of words on the Internet.Veiled Queen’s fans: “Our Queen’s strength is obvious to everyone. Even her live performance is flawless. She’s no weaker than Zhang Rong.”Goddess Zhang’s fans: “A stand-in is just a stand-in. Since ancient times, there’s been no reason for a stand-in to steal the limelight.”Goddess Zhang’s fans: “Just like martial arts stunt doubles, there has never been a stunt double who has dared to compete with a big celebrity for a job just because they were good at martial arts, even if they claimed that they could act. In my opinion, the Veiled Queen must have an ugly face. Other than the fact that her voice is a little similar to our goddess Zhang’s, what qualifies her to be able to sing this song? Is it just because she sings exactly the same as our goddess?”The Veiled Queen’s fans: “Based on the facts, are you questioning the IQ of the person in charge of the drama series? Choosing our Veiled Queen proves that our Queen’s performance is the most wonderful. Moreover, the theme song has already been released, and everyone can see for themselves.”Goddess Zhang’s fans: “If you have the ability, then take off the veil and let us see what kind of shameful face you have.”This had crossed the line into a personal attack.The Veiled Queen’s fans: “Do you dare to sing on the same stage? Let’s see who sings better.”Goddess Zhang’s fans: “Let’s compete then. Who’s more afraid of who? Our Goddess Zhang has been learning music since she was young, so she’s not afraid.”On the other side.Shi Mo had just gotten off the plane and was on his way to negotiate with his business partner.It was then that he accidentally saw the Veiled Queen’s Weibo account.When he realized that most of the comments on the Weibo account were insulting , his face could not help but darken.His assistant who was driving instantly felt the atmosphere in the car turn several degrees colder.When needed, he would act as a personal assistant. When not needed, he would automatically become like a background wall. At the moment, he was secretly observing Shi Mo’s expression.However, he saw Shi Mo suddenly raise his head and looked straight at him.
