The work of recording was not as difficult as Tao Rong had imagined, but it still took a lot of time. For three whole days, he repeated the same sentence over and over, and Lin Tianye's face appeared repeatedly on the screen in front of him.

The lyrics went smoothly, passing in just one take. While recording, it even garnered a lot of applause, making Tao Rong, who hadn't been on stage for many years, a little nervous.

The pay was just as Song San said, really good. So even though there were no arrangements for the next step, Tao Rong didn't mind. He continued to live his life as if he was still in the organization, going out in the morning to walk the birds and warm up his voice, amusing himself with fishing in the morning, and painting flowers in the afternoon. As a young man in his late teens, he lived a life similar to that of a retired cadre, enjoying himself in this small rental house in the outskirts.

If one person is full, the whole family won't be hungry.

A solitary person makes life simpler.

Therefore, when Song San's old broken-screen cell phone sounded, Tao Rong thought that there might be a thief in the house. After pondering for a while, he finally found it from the deepest part of the wardrobe.

"Boss Tao, why did you only answer the phone now! I thought you were kidnapped!" complained Song San.

"Sorry about that." Tao Rong's apology sounded sincere.

"Oh, it's nothing! Today, I've come to bring you good news!"

"Where does happiness come from?" Tao Rong was a little confused.

"You're the one who provided the voice for Su Sheng in that 'Garden Festival,' right? During the internal screening, Director Zhang Min was impressed, no, 'captivated' by your voice. Director Zhang is preparing to invite you to play the male third lead in his new TV drama! Isn't this like a stroke of good luck falling from the sky?"

"But the voice is that of Lin Tianye, which I imitated. If you want to 'listen' to someone, it should be him, right?" Tao Rong asked.

"Director Zhang initially thought it was Lin Tianye's own voice," Song San explained, "You have to thank Young Master Lin for recommending such a talent to you. He praised you as a peerless figure who is as rare as a hundred-year encounter, both in heaven and on earth. Your performance during the voice test amazed the entire audience, and your appearance was also top-notch! Director Zhang was delighted and immediately decided that you were the perfect fit for the role of the male lead!"

"Poor guy." Tao Rong laughed. If he couldn't tell that Song San was exaggerating, he would truly be too naive. It must have been when Zhang Dao and Lin Tianye were chatting, and Lin Tianye mentioned a sentence. But even with just this sentence, it is indeed worthy of gratitude.

"Hehehe, got it! I'll send the script to you right away! What's your email address... forget it, I'll just print it out and bring it to you." Thinking about Tao Rong's ancient way of living, Song San resignedly said.

Yaxing No. 3 Makeup Room.

Lin Tianye was lost in thought.

He didn't understand how his words managed to strike a chord with Zhang Min's sensitive spot, causing the director Zhang to instantly choose an inexperienced newcomer to play the male supporting role.

"Master Lin, I didn't expect you to be able to sing Peking Opera," Zhang Min commented as he watched Su Sheng on the screen.

"You can't be serious. It's the voice that matches the person."

"Oh? It's not easy to learn to sing so realistically! Your singing is really good." Zhang Min's face was filled with admiration, and he even hummed along.

Lin Tianye was a bit unhappy. Those who knew him well knew that Young Master Lin's biggest flaw was being stingy and having a bad temper. Moreover, Tao Rong repeatedly refused to give him face.

"Hey! Just a little kid, quite short." Lin Tianye said maliciously.

"Mmm?" Zhang Min became even more interested.

"Trashy women like you, how old are you?" Lin Tianye sneered.

"Oh?!!" Why are Director Zhang's eyes sparkling?!

Later, Lin Tianye came to know that the male lead trio for the new TV drama he was collaborating with Zhang Min on, "Master of Dust", had been confirmed as Tao Rong.

No, today is the conference for the launch. I have to show him who's the boss in the entertainment industry! When he comes in later, seeing me being surrounded by supporters while he is ignored by everyone, he will definitely understand who the real leader is!

"Eh? Young Master, don't move! Look, the eyeliner on your face is all crooked!" complained the makeup artist girl.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Lin Tianye immediately apologized, showing absolutely no trace of the "boss" demeanor.

The young lady's resentment showed no sign of diminishing: "I don't understand what this noble young master of yours is thinking. He clearly has his own dressing room, yet insists on bringing us to the public one. Look, there isn't even any makeup remover. I have to go back and get it. Ugh! Xiao Wang, Jin Jin... let's go!"

The young lady called her friends and took away a group of staff members who were there just to chat and fill up the numbers. Only Lin Tianye was left sitting alone in the chair, leaning against a thick, long, crooked strand of hair that had fallen onto her face.

Ah, the problem with working in your own company is that everyone is too familiar with you and you're not taken seriously.

Lin Tianye was lost in thought when the door creaked open.

"Excuse me..." Tao Rong pushed open the door and entered. Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Lin Tianye, who was bent over with his buttocks facing the mirror, carefully observing that black line on his face.

The air seemed to have become still.
