Wu Ju tried calling Su Jing but couldn’t get through, so he went out, found an old phone booth that had been abandoned by times, and tried calling Su Jing again. This time he finally reached him.
Wu Ju cried on the phone, snot, and tears streaming down his face, “Hello Mr. Su, I know I was wrong, I beg you to help me get back on track, I’m willing to sign the original contract again, and I don’t want any share.”
Su Jing replied coldly, “Our partnership is over. I don’t believe in second chances. Don’t contact me again.”
“Please Mr. Su, give me another chance, I promise I’ll do better this time. Hello, Mr. Su, Mr. Su, are you still there?” Wu Ju begged, but in the middle of his plea, the line went dead. He tried calling again but Su Jing did not answer.
“Hey, are you done yet? You’ve been in there for a while,” A stylishly dressed girl said as she stood outside the phone booth with a hint of impatience in her voice.
Nowadays, almost everyone has a mobile phone, so it’s rare to see someone using a public phone booth. The girl held a black-screened phone, looking anxious, perhaps her phone was out of battery.
It seems like the girl is in needs to use the phone booth, and is quite impatient as Wu Ju has been inside for quite some time.
“Just give me a little more time, I can’t get through,” Wu Ju said irritably, but seeing a fashionable girl, he couldn’t help but feel a little intimidated, just like before.
The confidence he had built up while using the “Fair, Fair, Cry the Ospreys” account was not genuine and was fragile like a bubble, which is easily burstable. Some people may appear ordinary but are talented and confident, but Wu Ju knew he didn’t belong to that category.
He realized that his confidence was built upon the fame and success of another person’s account and not on his own abilities.
“If you can’t get through, let me make a call first,” the girl said.
“Sure,” Wu Ju stepped out of the phone booth to let her make her call. The girl went in to make a call without acknowledging Wu Ju further.
Feeling the girl’s indifference towards him, Wu Ju felt even more upset. Before, he had been using the “Fair, Fair, Cry the Ospreys” account, he probably would have been able to make this girl blush just by talking to her.
The more he thought about it, the more he realized that his previous confidence was an illusion and the more he felt regret and sadness. As a result, he couldn’t help but squat on the ground, crying loudly.
“What’s wrong with you?” The girl looked confused and wondered what had caused the boy to start crying.
She looked at the phone in her hand, wondering if he was crying because she took the phone. “Don’t cry, I can give the phone back to you. You go ahead and make your call first.” The girl felt guilty and wanted to apologize.
Wu Ju cried even more feeling heartbroken and burst into tears. The girl had a look of disbelief on her face, why is he crying so hard over something as small as not being able to use the phone booth?
It’s not like she bullied him or anything. The girl felt guilty at first, but now it just made her feel uncomfortable, thinking that Wu Ju is overreacting and she is not in the mood to deal with him further. She left the phone booth and went to find another place.

After the broadcast concluded, Yin Ningning quickly packed her things and made her way downstairs.
She then got into a Porsche and greeted respectfully, “Mr. Su.” Despite appearing confident and graceful like a fairy in front of her fans, at this moment she showed a different demeanor.
Yin Ningning was aware that she could not afford to be arrogant in front of Su Jing for several reasons.
Firstly, she was a huge fan of Su Jing and held him in high regard.
Secondly, Su Jing had greatly impacted her life and she felt a deep sense of gratitude towards him, seeing him as a benefactor.
Lastly, after hearing about Wu Ju’s predicament, she fully understood that Su Jing had the power to take away everything she had if he were to become displeased, just like Wu Ju. So she always behaves respectfully and courteously.
“Let’s go,” Su Jing said with a slight smile on his face as he started the car.
Yin Ningning nodded obediently, her expression was a little nervous. Su Jing was going to take her to the Cloud Sound Entertainment Company where she was going to officially debut as a star.

While she was excited about this opportunity, it was inevitable that she had some apprehensions.
She could sing and play the piano well enough to do well on a Live Streaming platform, but that was not sufficient to become a professional singer or pianist, which was why she had only been a small-time anchor before.
She knew her acting skills, sense of variety, etc. were not very good and tended to be average. Beauty alone, just like a vase, would not be enough for Su Jing to want to promote her.
“Oh, that’s right.” Su Jing suddenly remembered something and took out a small bottle from his pocket. He handed it to Yin Ningning and said, “Swallow this.”

“What is this?” Yin Ningning was surprised and took the bottle. Upon opening it, she discovered a blue bead inside. The bead was round and smooth, emitting a strong fragrance that made her mouth water uncontrollably.
“This is a traditional Chinese medicine. It’s very good for your throat and vocal cords, and it will make your singing more beautiful,” Su Jing explained.
Yin Ningning trusted him and took the blue pearl out of the bottle, put it in her mouth, and swallowed it. The bead was big but it went down smoothly like a fine liquid, and it was not difficult to swallow.
