Chapter 169 One generation of versions and one generation of gods
"Okay, then let them... Wait, what did you say?!" Liao Qing subconsciously agreed halfway, and suddenly realized something was wrong, and turned back to confirm, "Say it again! Let them explode? Are you sure you didn't say the wrong thing?"

Xia Anruo stood up from the bed and walked to the window to look at the scenery of Shenzhen City. "Anyway, the truth will come out sooner or later. Even if you agree to the other party's request and don't expose it for the time being, the other party still has the handle in his hand. If you don't make an official announcement, you will be blackmailed by him."

What she hates most is being threatened.

"But aren't you courting death by exposing your relationship now? Don't you want to give up your fans and career?" Liao Qing didn't understand Xia Anruo's thoughts.

You committed suicide to avoid being killed by the enemy?
"We can't keep it a secret forever. Sooner or later, we have to make an official announcement. It's just a matter of time." Xia Anruo didn't want to live a life where she was getting married and having children but still hiding it from her fans.

Not to mention how frustrating this kind of life is, it is also unfair to Chu Ze.

Their relationship is open and aboveboard, why should they be secretive?

"No, even if you want to make an official announcement, you have to wait until your popularity has stabilized and you're not attracting so much attention. Now you're in the limelight and so many media outlets are watching you. If you make an official announcement, won't you be scolded to death?" Liao Qing absolutely did not agree with Xia Anruo making an official announcement at this time.

"Just scold me if you want. It's not like I haven't been scolded before." Xia Anruo didn't care.

Before meeting Chu Ze, wasn't he also criticized by netizens?
got used to.

"You really don't take your future seriously..." Liao Qing didn't know how to persuade him.

"The official announcement is nothing more than driving away those so-called fans who like my looks and my wife. These fans are gone, it's useless. What I need are fans who truly like my songs. Just think of it as purification, which may be more beneficial to my future development." Xia Anruo, on the other hand, made a lot of sense.

She felt that she was now just like what was described in Chu Ze's novel, with a superficial fighting spirit.

Her popularity has increased so much in this year. Although she seems very popular on the surface, her fans are a mixed bag, just like a time bomb. If you are not careful, it may become an obstacle to your future development.

Just like traffic stars, they look magnificent and popular on the surface, but in fact they are weak on the inside. In recent years, there are countless traffic stars in the entertainment industry who were once at the peak of their popularity but suddenly fell from grace, and many of them were eventually reduced to the status quo due to the backlash of their popularity. There are precedents for this.

Xia Anruo doesn't want to be a traffic star, she wants to develop in the direction of a talented singer. The fans who love her looks and her wife are gone. Without their constraints, the only ones left are pure fans. Maybe she will go further in the future.

This is also a kind of destruction and then construction...

Although the probability is that it will break, and then break, break, break, break...

Finally cool down.

This is the normal script.

Whether it can stand on its own is still unknown.

Therefore, if it is really to be officially announced, it can be said to be a huge gamble, and what is at stake is Xia Anruo's future singing career, which is something Liao Qing would never agree to.

"Put aside the question of whether it is beneficial or not. From what I heard from Zheng Lei's words just now, it seems that he even guessed that the potatoes belong to Chu Ze." Seeing that he could not dispel Xia Anruo's idea, Liao Qing thought about it and changed the topic to Chu Ze.

Hearing this, Xia Anruo, who had been indifferent, suddenly turned around and asked: "How could he guess it?"

"I'm not sure, but if I remember correctly, Chu Ze probably doesn't want his identity as Potato to be exposed, right?" Liao Qing said.

"He doesn't want to be disturbed by the media." Xia Anruo nodded.

"But if you make it official, won't Chu Ze be pushed to the forefront? I'm afraid there will be unrest in the school in the future." Liao Qing seemed to have found a breakthrough to dissuade her from thinking this way.

Sure enough, after hearing what Liao Qing said, Xia Anruo's original unwavering determination to make an official announcement was shaken.

She may not care about her own future, but she cannot ignore Chu Ze.

Anyway, if I don’t want to be a star anymore, I can just go back and inherit the family business.

But if Chu Ze was troubled by those paparazzi media... this was not what she wanted to see.

"I need to ask Chu Ze about this."

Xia Anruo took a deep breath and couldn't make up her mind for a moment, so she could only call Chu Ze and tell him about it.

She didn't know why, but she always felt more at ease with Chu Ze around.

"It really was photographed. We were careless." Chu Ze was a little helpless when he received the call. "Is it Xu Ya who is causing trouble again this time?"

"Who else but her?"

"It doesn't matter what he said about writing songs. I can just write ten for him. But the question is, are you sure that if you write songs, he will honestly destroy the photos? He won't continue to use them to threaten you?"

In Chu Ze's opinion, ten excellent songs are not a difficult requirement. What he lacks the least is songs. The only worry is that you cannot ensure that the other person will keep his promise.

After all, photos are something that he can delete just by saying so, right?

God knows if there is a backup.

"I'm worried about this too. Now that he has the handle in his hands, we are in a passive position. We can only hope that he is the vice president of a large company and is honest in his work. There is nothing we can do, unless..." Xia Anruo paused.

"Unless what?" Chu Ze asked.

"Unless... we take the initiative to expose our relationship..." Xia Anruo said it after hesitating.

"No! It can't be officially announced!"

Chu Ze shook his head without saying anything, rejecting this idea.

"Why?" Xia Anruo asked.

“What will you do now that it’s officially announced? We have worked so hard to achieve the current results, we can’t let this ruin our efforts and go back to the days before liberation,” Chu Ze explained.

"It's not that exaggerated. At most, I just lost a lot of fans."

"That's not OK!"

"I originally wanted to just make an official announcement. No matter what, I can't let the other party succeed. But I'm afraid you won't have a peaceful life in the future..." Xia Anruo said, pursing her lips.

"I don't care. The impact on you is greater." Chu Ze said indifferently.

Xia Anruo didn't say anything when she heard this, she bit her red lips lightly with her teeth, and was a little happy to hear this.

It seems that he still values ​​me very much.

Between a peaceful life and her, Chu Ze chose her without hesitation.

"What if there is no official announcement? Do I really have to write a song for them?" Xia Anruo was a little unwilling.

"Don't you have any evidence against the other party? For example, is Xu Ya having an affair with that vice president?" Chu Ze pondered for a moment, thinking, after all, you have been in the circle for so many years, don't you think the other party has any black material?

If you have something against me, then why don't I use it against you to threaten you?
"How would I know? I wouldn't do such a shameless and sinful thing." Xia Anruo curled her lips.

"Then you can let Sister Liao do it."

"Yes."

Liao Qing: “…”

Could you two dogs respect me a little?
I was listening right beside you.

Can you say bad things behind people’s backs?
Xia Anruo felt the cold gaze coming from beside her, then she realized what was happening, and quickly tried to make amends by complaining, "Ahem, you let Sister Liao do all the bad things, you're really good at that."

"Isn't that what an agent does? And how can this be considered a bad thing? Isn't this just giving someone a taste of their own medicine? There are a lot of negative news about stars like this. If you find someone to keep an eye on her, you might be able to capture something." Chu Ze smiled.

In such a short time, Chu Ze couldn't think of any other good way. He couldn't be like in other urban novels... Who dared to threaten his wife?

kill!

If you can't solve the problem, solve the problem.

In a society ruled by law, I am not a soldier king.

"But it's not that easy. It takes time to find black material. The other party is still waiting for our reply. We can't wait for ten days or half a month. By then, the other party will probably be impatient." Xia Anruo felt that something was wrong.

"How about this, you tell the other party that you can write songs for him, but my ability is limited, and it will take at least half a year before I can give him ten songs." Chu Ze was silent for a while and spoke again.

"Why? Does it take you so long to write a song? Aren't you a quick shooter?" Xia Anruo didn't understand why Chu Ze said that.

"You're the quick shooter..." Chu Ze was sweating profusely.

If you don’t know how to speak, don’t speak. If I’m the quick shooter, you’ll be the one who suffers.

"That's right. You can't write one song in a few days, but you need half a year to write ten songs?"

Before this, Chu Ze had never spent more than a week writing songs for Xia Anruo.

"You are stupid. I said this to help you delay the other party and buy some time. Isn't half a year enough for you to find evidence against Xu Ya?" If it weren't for the phone call, Chu Ze would have wanted to slap this stupid woman.

This brain... I hope my children's IQ won't be like theirs.

Otherwise there is no hope.

"Oh oh oh, I understand." Xia Anruo understood.

Xia Anruo hung up the phone and turned to look at Liao Qing.

"Tell me, what kind of evil thing do you want me to do?" Liao Qing asked expressionlessly.

"No, I just want you, Sister Liao, to check and see if you can find any evidence against Xu Ya, and then..." Xia Anruo smiled awkwardly and conveyed Chu Ze's meaning to Liao Qing.

After listening to this, Liao Qing thought for a while and nodded.

The only solution for now is to delay. The initiative is in the hands of the other party. Unless you can also hold something against the other party or are not afraid of the consequences of being exposed, temporary compromise is the only way at the moment.

"You were quite obedient when Chu Ze asked you not to make an official announcement..." Liao Qing glanced at her.

"He's doing this for my own good." Xia Anruo said.

"I'm doing this for your own good, isn't it?" Liao Qing was almost pissed to death by Xia Anruo's words.

Not wanting to talk to Xia Anruo anymore, he angrily took out his phone, found Zheng Lei's number in the call log and called back.

She told Zheng Lei that if she agreed to his conditions, Chu Ze could help him write songs.

However, the prerequisite is that he must promise not to leak any information about Xia Anruo and Chu Ze's relationship. Once relevant news appears on the Internet, regardless of whether it was leaked by Zheng Lei or not, Chu Ze will no longer help him write songs.

Secondly, because it takes time to write high-quality songs, it takes Chu Ze about a year to write ten songs for Zheng Lei.

Liao Qing deliberately took the initiative to delay the six months mentioned by Chu Ze to one year, so that he could buy more time.

The entertainment industry has undergone many changes in a year. Perhaps even if it is officially announced by then, the impact will not be as great as it is now.

Zheng Lei thought for a while after listening to this. He certainly didn't believe that if Chu Ze was indeed Tu Dou, it would take so long for him to write ten songs. According to the previous rhythm of "Who is the King of Singers" of writing one song a week, it would probably take less than three months to write ten excellent songs.

In fact, for normal songwriting, unless you are overwhelmed with inspiration, it is normal to spend two or three months to write a good song. Some people who strive for perfection can even spend one or two years to write a song.

But of course he also knew what the other party was planning. Liao Qing was deliberately dragging his feet because he was afraid that the song would be given to him so quickly and he would go back on his word.

So Zheng Lei unsurprisingly did not agree.

"Three months! This is my bottom line. If we can't reach an agreement, then forget it." That's all he said.

If what Liao Qing said is true, it would take a year to finish writing all ten songs...

The day lily is so damn cold.

Now that Xia Anruo is at the peak of her popularity, this kind of explosive news can give her a fatal blow.

What is this called? Comply with the version!

Generations and versions of gods.

What if the version is updated after a year? There are so many monsters in the entertainment industry every day, who knows if the T0 explosive material of the current version can still deal damage by then?

What if scraping is done?
Then you might as well sell beef offal.

Master Zheng, please stop shaving.

Zheng Lei's ultimate goal is to ruin Xia Anruo's reputation. He is just taking advantage of the situation to reap some benefits. He should not put the cart before the horse.

In three months, the impact is not big, after all, the environment is not withdrawn so quickly.

“How is it possible to write ten excellent songs in three months? No matter who you ask, it is impossible to write them. Polishing a good song takes a lot of time, at least half a year.” Liao Qing disagreed and tried to compromise.

"Ms. Liao, you and I are both smart people. There's no need to beat around the bush. I believe you know better than me how long it takes Chu Ze to write a song. I've been very considerate of you not asking you to produce ten songs in a month." Zheng Lei's tone was flat, but he already revealed a little impatience.

Get it clear, I'm threatening you, not discussing anything with you.

Are you playing house here?
I buy vegetables at the vegetable market in the past year or half a year.

"How about this, we deliver it in installments, one song a month, how about that?" Liao Qing suggested.

"If I write one song a month, it will take ten months. I can't wait that long." Zheng Lei said dissatisfiedly.

"In that case, there is no need to talk anymore, because I now doubt Mr. Zheng's sincerity." Liao Qing's tone hardened and he said coldly.

Zheng Lei was silent for a while, then made a concession: "One song a month, but all must be paid in half a year."

"Okay." Liao Qing pondered for a long time and said, "But President Zheng said before that we are a cooperation, right? Since it is a cooperation, then these ten songs will follow the normal purchase process. We will pay how much we should pay for each song, and the share of the profits will also be signed according to the normal market ratio."

"How dare you bring that up?" Zheng Lei was stunned when he heard this.

Do you really believe what I said?

"Mr. Zheng should know better than me how valuable these ten excellent songs are. Do you really want to get them for free just by using a few photos?" Liao Qing said in a cold tone.

It was obvious that Liao Qing didn't want Zheng Lei to take such a big advantage for nothing.

I had originally agreed to Zheng Lei just to buy time, and I had not intended to really write a song for him. But now that I can't avoid it, I have to at least follow the normal commercial process of selling songs and not give it to the other party for free. This way, Chu Ze won't lose out.

"Are these some photos? This concerns your Anruo's future." There was an obvious threat in Zheng Lei's tone.

"Excuse me for being blunt, but if An Ruo makes an official announcement now, it may not really have such a big impact on her. It's just that we don't want to take the risk for the sake of safety. But if President Zheng pushes too far, then we can't do anything..." Liao Qing was firm in his attitude on this point, leaving no room for maneuver. He was ready to fight to the death if they disagreed.

Zheng Lei was silent for a long time and finally said, "Haha, OK, I'll do as you say."
