Chapter 32
Joy Imitated Me and Copied Me
She had actually ignored the fact that she was too obsessed over Sang Xia’s name that she forgot that she could change names, to an English name or artist name regardless.
However, this thought made her even more scared and uneasy. It was fortunate this time for her to find her in time. However, what about the next time? And the following time?
Must she always live with the silent threat Sang Xia gave her forever?!
No.
No matter what would happen later, she could not let Sang Xia steal the attention this time. No way!
“Zhirou? Zhirou?”
“Ah, yes?”
When Sang Zhirou regained her senses, Cheng Ze had already called her a few times as he stood in front of her with a weird expression. Instantly, her heart trembled in fear and she hurriedly took off the earphones.
“What’s wrong? Why is your expression so weird? Doesn’t it sound nice?”
Cheng Ze stared at her, looking like he was thinking of something.
Sang Zhirou knew that she might have lost a little control of her expression from the large shock she experienced earlier, so she instantly forced a smile. “No, it’s nice, but…”
“But?”
“But, don’t you think that her style seems to be imitating me?”
Sang Zhirou’s eyes sparkled as she looked a little embarrassed to say that. However, her expression was still weirdly awkward.
“Imitate you?”
Cheng Ze froze.
“I just feel that… it’s a little. But it’s alright. I might be thinking too much. I just felt that the song is a little similar to my writing style.” She made herself sound a little apologetic.
It was as if she was scared of saying the wrong thing.
With how she looked like she wanted to speak but stopped herself from doing so, it was clear that she was slightly unhappy but was too embarrassed to say it because of Cheng Ze.
None of them were fools.
Not to mention that they belonged to the entertainment industry.
“Oh.” Cheng Ze’s eyes sparkled as he scratched his nose. With a smile, he said, “Now that you mention it, I do find it a little familiar. Indeed, it has some similarities to you.”
However, the two singing styles were clearly different, with Joy sounding better… Ah!
Sang Zhirou’s voice was too sweet for his liking.
However, music was relative. Sometimes, the singing was not the main point. Popularity was the deeming factor instead.
Sang Zhirou smiled gently as she played with her hair a little. “Director Cheng, please don’t think too much about this. However, I do feel that having a unique style is important to last in singing and be remembered by fans. If not, they will always live in another’s shadow and cannot last in the industry for too long.”
The moment she said this, Cheng Ze was not a fool to not understand what she meant.
Sang Zhirou clearly meant that since this singer was imitating and copying her, this singer would not rise in fame even if he liked her.
Her intentions were clear enough.
If Cheng Ze respected her, he would definitely stop paying attention to Joy in private or go look for her. After all, he shouldn’t be too foolish to offend her, a popular singer and the daughter of the Mayor, for someone with no name.
Seeing Cheng Ze stare straight at her, Sang Zhirou broke out into a smile, looking like she was being extremely open about herself.
At that moment, her phone started to ring.
Seeing that it was Tang Ye calling, happiness and sweetness instantly filled Sang Zhirou’s expression. She looked up and said, “Director Cheng, my boyfriend is here to fetch me, so I’ll make a move first.”
She was a popular new singer.
She was also the daughter of the Mayor.
The young master of the Tang family, which owned one of the three wealthiest corporations in T City, was her boyfriend.
“Tsk, what is she?”
Cheng Ze continued staring as Sang Zhirou slowly disappeared from his sight. Once she was gone, he instantly took off his spectacles and cursed softly.
