Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Chu Ling said, “What I mean is, if s.h.i.+ Jin came with us, we can write a publicity script later.”
“Is that so?” Sun Yijing didn’t expose his private thoughts.
“I wonder which brand invited s.h.i.+ Jin this time.”
Chu Ling knew that s.h.i.+ Jin had not been nominated, but many singers and artistes who had not been nominated could still get tickets to show their faces if they had sponsors.h.i.+ps. However, if the sponsor was only rich and not of a high grade, it would often be seen as a freeloader. Only those who were
truly nominated could receive the true welcome of fans.
Sun Yijing ignored Chu Ling. She even invited the organizers of the compet.i.tion for a meal.
Of course, even if these two awards were small, methods had to be used to win them.
Of course, Sun Yijing didn’t dare to think about the real prize. English songs still dominated the mainstream market in Europe and America. It would take time for other languages to gain mainstream recognition.

In Country S.
Due to the ma.s.sive publicity by the fans, the news that Chu Ling was going to win an award spread throughout the country.
The fans were elated. “Brother has gone international! He’s really amazing!”
“Top tier is top tier. He has such strength and capital to begin with.”
“sun Yijing and Chu Ling are really a match made in heaven. Both of them should win an award this time, right?”
Jing Qing was also watching the news.
“What? This Mercury Music Award doesn’t look professional. If it’s really professional, s.h.i.+ Jin should be nominated.”
Sometimes, s.h.i.+ Jin’s major fan, named “A Man Like the Wind” would lecture her and other fans on the internet. “For this award, you have to let the company use your work to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion before you can be nominated. s.h.i.+ Jin didn’t even partic.i.p.ate, so how could she be nominated?”
Jing Qing asked, “Why didn’t Jin partic.i.p.ate then?”
“Maybe she doesn’t care about such foreign awards.”
“That’s true. It’s enough as long as we like her.” Jing Qing typed furiously. “I don’t care if she wins or not.”
“None of us care.”
Chu Ling’s fans had been watching s.h.i.+ Jin’s fans’ movements.
Seeing them say this, they couldn’t help but mock, “Not important? Not partic.i.p.ating? I think some people actually sent their works to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion, but they weren’t selected at all. That’s why they said it’s not important.”
“There’s no doubt about it, she’s just jealous.”
“She’s bragging so much. What soul singer? She’s only popular with her fans.”
“The only things that can truly be recognized are Chu Ling and Sun Yijing’s grand style and traditional music.”
“That’s right. There’s no need to say that she doesn’t care about the award.”
s.h.i.+ Jin’s fans could not take it and argued with Chu Ling’s fans.
“A Man Like the Wind” quickly restrained them.
“Why shouldn’t we argue with them?”
“A Man Like the Wind” had always been rational. “What good will it do for s.h.i.+ Jin if you guys argue? Think about it, aren’t you giving other people free publicity?”
With that thought, the fans felt that it made sense and stopped arguing.
From time to time, Chu Ling’s fans would send out a photo of Chu Ling and Sun Yijing in Paris.
“Chu Ling and Sun Yijing have met a famous French producer. Are they going to release a new alb.u.m overseas?”
“I think they will definitely win the award.”
“Tm looking forward to it!”

After s.h.i.+ Jin settled down, Pence sent a message. “I’m having dinner with the chairman of the organizers of the Mercury Music Awards and the CEO of the Music Alliance. They really want to see you. Are you coming?”
“Tl come over.”
“Great. I’ll arrange for a car to pick you up.”
s.h.i.+ Jin put down her phone and tidied up a little before leaving with Yao Jiahong.
‘When they reached the hotel lobby, Sun Yijing and Chu Ling walked out together.
Today, Sun Yijing invited a member of the organizers for a meal and brought Chu Ling along.
The award that she and Chu Ling had nominated might not have much weight in the first place, but if she brought it back to Country , it could still save Chu Ling’s popularity and her status in the Sun family.
‘Whether it was a small award or not, Sun Yijing was determined to win it.
‘When he saw s.h.i.+ Jin and Yao Jiahong coming out together, Chu Ling couldn’t help but ask, “s.h.i.+ Jin, where are you going?”
“This doesn’t seem to be a problem that Mr. Chu should be concerned about, right?” Yao Jiahong helped s.h.i.+ Jin block him.
s.h.i.+ Jin had almost no desire to talk to Chu Ling.
As he watched s.h.i.+ Jin and Yao Jiahong leave, Chu Ling had no choice, but to look away.
Sun Yijing sneered. “Why don’t you follow them?”
Naturally, Chu Ling would not do such a foolish thing. He did regret separating from s.h.i.+ Jin, and also regretted using her and stepping on her, but now, he couldn’t go back.
The way s.h.i.+ Jin looked at him was as though he was a rag and she would never take him seriously again.
He only had one chance now, and that was to surpa.s.s s.h.i.+ Jin as soon as possible and return to the peak. Only when he could give s.h.i.+ Jin resources would she truly change her mind.
“The person we’re going to meet later is very important. I hope you can perk up.” Sun Yijing looked at him and felt unhappy.
Fortunately, she was not with Chu Ling for his love.

‘When s.h.i.+ Jin and Yao Jiahong appeared at the dining area, a few Asian faces recognized her and ran over to greet her. “s.h.i.+ Jin, is that really you? Have I seen the real s.h.i.+ Jin?”
“I’s me.” Although s.h.i.+ Jin was still cold towards her fans, her att.i.tude was very good.
It was her fans who had made her popular. She never denied this point.
“We won’t bother you, will we? Are you working here?”
“No.” s.h.i.+ Jin took their pens and papers and started to sign. “It’s a work schedule.”
The fans were very polite and s.h.i.+ Jin chatted with them for a while more.
By the time she arrived, Pence was already there. Along with him were the chairman of the organizers of the Mercury Music Awards and the CEO of the Music Alliance. Pence introduced them to s.h.i.+ Jin.
Yao Jiahong was now certain that s.h.i.+ Jin was not just a guest or honorary lecturer at the Hamilton Music Academy.
Her influence and position far exceeded that of a guest lecturer.
As expected, after the CEO of the music alliance changed the topic to music, he proposed to buy the copyrights to the English cover versions of s.h.i.+ Jin’s songs.
Yao Jiahong perked up.

s.h.i.+ Jin’s fans that saw her just now were a group of friends. They studied in Paris before settling down in Paris, but even being overseas, they still liked the culture and artistes in Country S. And s.h.i.+ Jin was one of their favorite artists.
After receiving the photos, they couldn’t hold back their excitement and posted it on the Internet…
