All-rounder Artist - Chapter 150: Sorry for Being Human_1

150 Chapter 143: Sorry for Being Human_1

Starlight Music, second floor, composing department.

Everyone is looking at the message the manager sent to the group, frowning deeply.

We have accepted being called ‘Daddy’ by our clients as we’ve been tossed

around by them.

We’re just trying to make some money.

This isn’t embarrassing!

But why on earth did the manager refer to Mr. Lin as our Father?

Because he was sent by headquarters?

Because he’s on the same level as the manager and could be considered as a boss of the branch company?

We don’t accept this!

No one accepts this.

Because here on the land of Qi Continent, we have enough corporate ‘Daddies’

already!

These were the complex thoughts in everyone’s minds.

Those with less complex thoughts had already plugged in their headphones to

listen to ‘The Jianghu Laughs’.

At the same time.

Gu Dong also returned to his office and started listening to this song.

A few minutes later.

Gu Dong took off his headphones almost mechanically, with a storm raging in

his mind.

He looked down at the group he just created.

No one in the group was speaking.

Then he glanced at the ‘fake group’ on the other screen where Lin Yuan was, and saw that it already had 99+ new messages.

“@Mr. Lin, you are the GOAT!”

“Wow, wow, Mr. Lin is too powerful!”

“Mr. Lin, please accept me as your fan!”

“just now someone in our department said that the song Mr. Lin wrote in such a short time can’t possibly be any good. I, as the head of the composing department, promptly refuted him. Mr. Lin, you are a top-rated musician from the Land of Music, we can’t let others cast doubt on you. That guy, after listening to the song, fully submitted and I gave him a stem lesson.”

“Boss, look, did you drop something?”

“How dare anybody question Mr. Lin? Are they tired of life? Doesn’t everyone know that Mr. Lin was sent to our company to save the world, and this is how you treat our savior?”

II II

Upon seeing these group messages, Gu Dong choked on his own frustration and wished he could fire the whole lot.

Have they lost their shame!

The deal isn’t even closed yet!

Such sycophants, such bootlicking, it’s a disgrace to the company!

Unable to remain silent any longer, he typed angrily:

“Those who doubted Mr. Lin before, step forward. Write a self-criticism of 3000 words and let me review it. It’s your great fortune to meet such an excellent leader like Mr. Lin after eight lifetimes of accumulated luck!”

Everyone:

Weren’t you the one causing all the trouble before?

Finally, someone spoke up in the new group next door.

“This is really not fun.”

“Lil Goodoong, didn’t you also not believe in him before?”

“And boss, you were the one who first said that Mr. Lin couldn’t possibly complete this order. If I remember correctly, the boss even said if the deal could be completed, he would eat his keyboard.”

“How will you eat it, with peanut butter or with beef sauce? Will it be red braised or steamed?”

“Big brother, don’t blame the second brother. Who the hell would have thought that a top-ranked composer from Qin Continent would be this mighty?”

“WTF, I just found out today what a true GOAT is.

“It’s not that the top-ranked composers from Qin Continent are powerful. If you randomly pick one from Qin Continent, he wouldn’t be able to complete the task in such a short time. We’ve met a real deity.”

“I almost thought Father Yang was involved.”

• • •When Teacher Yang Zhongming was in Qi Continent, we occasionally asked him for help. While his moves were sure, accurate, and ruthless, guaranteeing success, he wasn’t this quick, was he?”

II II

Everyone was truly bewildered by Mr. Lin!

Not because ‘The Jianghu Laughs’ was that good, the quality of the song was indeed not bad, but not to the extent of garnering worship from all.

The truly terrifying part was

The song was composed at an alarmingly fast pace!

Some people even suspected, did Mr. Lin finish this while sitting on the toilet?

Alright.

Of course, that’s just an exaggerated guess, everyone was simply too stunned.

As Mr. Lin is a top composer in the Land of Music, it isn’t surprising he could produce song of such quality.

After all, his status as a top composer is indisputable.

If you’d said that Mr. Lin had spent two months, or even one month, to complete this song, people wouldn’t have so many doubts.

But how much time has Mr. Lin had since he received the order?

From the moment he ended work, to the point he announced in the group chat that he’d finished the composition, how much time had passed?

He was able to complete a composition of this caliber in such a short amount of time?

It’s downright freaky!

Not to mention, he even wrote the lyrics himself!

And the ideas behind the lyrics are also ingenious!

Compared to Mr. Lin, the composers at Starlight Music only have one feeling:

Sorry for being so mediocre.

At this point, Gu Qiangyun popped up in the group, he mentioned everyone: “Don’t rush to apologize just yet. I have already sent “Laughter in Jianghu” to the client. The order for the martial arts game should be nearly complete by Mr. Lin. Our urgent task now is to quickly pull in new orders!”

It’s the same old story.

Strong companies can have clients actively seeking cooperation, while a no­good company like Starlight Music has to look for its own business.

The staff in the composition department not only have to be responsible for composing, but also part-time sales.

And it’s not just them.

Even Gu Dong and the manager Gu Qiangyun have to look for business outside.

Because Starlight Music is facing two dilemmas at the same time.

The first dilemma: the ability of the composers is limited, leading to a low order completion rate.

The second dilemma: the company’s order acceptance rate is also very low.

A formidable client will frown at the past performance of Starlight Music.

So when negotiating for orders, they have no choice but to tout the prestige of the head office.

This trick used to work well.

But now, even the prestige of the head office isn’t very effective.

After all, Starlight Music is just a branch, its value has been pretty much evaluated by the industry.

Because of this reason.

The company occasionally takes on small private orders to sustain its operations.

These small orders often only have a commission of tens of thousands yuan.

But for the composition department, every little bit counts, the staff still possess basic operating skills, they can generally handle these small orders.

“By the way.”

Gu Dong reminded: “If you guys run into trouble while negotiating orders, don’t use the prestige of the head office anymore. That doesn’t work anymore. You can now say that a top composer has been dispatched from our head office. But let me make one thing clear, never let Mr. Lin handle cheap orders!”

During the daytime discussion, Gu Dong noticed.

Mr. Lin was unhappy with the price of orders.

It makes sense, as a top composer, the price he got for orders in Qin Continent must have been very high.

Now being transferred to a branch office and having to do orders in the hundreds of thousands, he obviously wouldn’t be pleased.

“We should ask Mr. Lin what style he specializes in.”

Every composer has their own area of expertise.

Some composers are particularly good at rock, while others are good at writing sentimental love songs.

Everyone now suspects that Mr. Lin is probably best at composing classical songs with grand ideas?

Otherwise, why was “Laughter in Jianghu” completed so easily?

He must be so proficient in it, that the moment he saw the order, he directly wrote a song.

Gu Dong thought for a while, he mentioned Lin Yuan in the old chat group: “The company is preparing to take new orders, may I askwhat music styles do you specialize in, Mr. Lin?”

Everyone opened the main chat, curious about Lin Yuan’s response.

In everyone’s imagination, a genius like Mr. Lin would probably list several categories, such as rock, sentimental ballads, hip-hop, and so on, to demonstrate his diverse range of music styles. After all, “Big Fish” was also excellent, but it wasn’t a traditional martial arts style song. This indicates that Mr. Lin must be proficient in several styles of music, fitting for someone of Lin yuan’s status as a top composer.

However, ten seconds later.

Lin Yuan only replied with two words, those words were:

“Expensive ones.”

PS: Originally, I planned to ask for double the monthly tickets at the end of the month, but the monthly tickets are dropping very quickly, so I’ll just ask for it now. Those with more monthly tickets can vote by the end of the month, thanks everyone. At one point we were ranked twenty-ninth.
