Chapter 323: The Delusional King of the Entertainment Industry 25

Li Jian nodded with a beaming smile. Then he reached up and smoothed his sparse bangs, and even his footsteps seemed to become noticeably lighter as he walked into the office.

Le Tong’s new album had actually been recorded long ago. He had simply never been satisfied with the title track, which was why they had been unable to finalize it.

Now that they had new title tracks, all they needed to do was record them and finish the music videos before promoting and releasing the album according to the original plan.

However, why did he have the vague feeling that he had forgotten something?

……

That afternoon, Le Tong arrived at the company right on time.

He had always been serious when it came to work.

As Li Jian led him toward the recording studio, he praised him along the way.

“Le Tong, you’re really something. You wrote the title tracks so quickly. Looks like I misunderstood you yesterday.”

Hearing this, Le Tong merely gave him a disdainful look fit for a king.

Once they entered the recording booth, he turned to Li Jian.

“Stand here and let me look at you. I’ll get into the mood more easily when I sing this way.”

Hearing this, Li Jian’s face lit up. He then chuckled smugly.

“Isn’t that a little embarrassing? You really have to look at my face to be able to sing?”

I didn’t realize I was this important to Le Tong!

He actually needs to look at me while singing to get into the mood!

Hearing this, all the other staff members nearby gave him sympathetic looks.

Not long afterward, the recording officially began.

As the music started, Le Tong launched into a rap.

Because Le Tong was rapping so quickly, Li Jian couldn’t make out what he was saying at first. All he could think was that the kid he had personally brought up really did look incredibly cool whenever he sang.

But gradually, the more Li Jian listened, the more something seemed wrong.

“…Smoking and drinking, I’m an expert at both,
Staying up all night playing cards and games,
Hair getting sparse and greasy,
No wonder nobody wants you!
Bald donkey, bald donkey, old bald donkey!”

Li Jian: ???

A moment later, he couldn’t help cursing.

“Fuck! Le Tong, are you fucking personally attacking me?!”

He would have been an idiot if he still couldn’t understand it.

The moment he said that, everyone in the recording studio burst into laughter.

“Brother Li, you didn’t look at the lyrics beforehand?”

Hearing this, Li Jian gritted his teeth.

“Look at them, my ass! He sent them directly to the director, and the director already approved them. Why would I ask?”

Then he glared at Le Tong.

“We’re not recording today. Change the lyrics!”

He finally remembered what he had forgotten.

Before getting out of the car last night, Le Tong had said he was going to write a song insulting him!

And the bastard had actually written a song specifically to attack him!

He had raised this brat for nothing all these years!

Little bastard!

……

“Change them? I don’t have the inspiration to rewrite the lyrics,” Le Tong said lazily.

Then he turned to Li Jian.

“If you can’t stand listening to it, you can leave.”

With that, he turned to the others.

“Let’s continue.”

Seeing this, Li Jian could only stomp his foot and leave the recording studio with a thoroughly depressed expression.

One of these days, this little bastard is going to piss me to death!

……

Meanwhile, Tang Wan was at an audition.

She was already a natural actress, and after learning a great deal of acting techniques from Little Cutie, an audition naturally wasn’t enough to stump her.

As a result, she successfully landed the second female lead role in a major production.

Li Qing was overjoyed. As long as Tang Wan had a worthwhile work under her belt, her current popularity wouldn’t disappear like a flash in the pan.

As soon as Tang Wan passed the audition, she immediately told Le Tong.

“Tongtong, I passed the audition for Beauty Like Jade!” Tang Wan sent him a voice message, her tone sounding particularly excited.

Thus, Le Tong received her message right after finishing his recording.

Hearing the cheerful tone in Tang Wan’s voice, Le Tong couldn’t help curling his lips upward.

He secretly thought:

She rushes to share every piece of good news with me.

This is love!
