Chapter 394: Jay Chou’s Confession: I Feel Like I’ve Always Been Living in [L]’s Shadow…

Seeing someone blocking the way, Lin Xuan initially thought it was a fan who had chased after him for an autograph.

But once he clearly saw what the people standing in front of the door were wearing, he realized in shock that they were… the stadium’s security guards?!

“What is it?” Lin Xuan’s tone was cold, his pressure overwhelming.

Before the sweating guards could answer, hurried footsteps sounded.

“Handsome sir, don’t misunderstand, I’m the one who asked them to keep you here.”

Everyone looked toward the voice, only to find that the man rushing over was none other than the superstar who had been singing onstage not long ago… Jay Chou.

“Wow~~~ (*′▽｀)ノノ Hello, Jay Chou!”

Chen Kexin waved and greeted Jay Chou like they were old friends.

Getting to meet a big star this close made her pretty excited. She hugged Bai Susu and bounced around.

“Oh, oh.”

Bai Susu gave a perfunctory response, absent-minded.

If this were any other time, she might’ve gotten excited and stepped up to ask for an autograph or a signed photo.

But right now, all her attention was on Lin Xuan, guessing how much affection he still had left for her. So how could she be in the mood to chase idols?!

As for the Su siblings beside her, that went without saying………

Su Fan had both hands in his pockets, looking cocky, not even bothering to spare Jay Chou a proper glance.

To him, a mere performer had no right to speak with him.

Su Qingge sat in her wheelchair, eyes forward, expression calm.

She never really chased stars.

And besides, with the “God of Songs” [L] right beside her now, she naturally had no interest in other singers in the Chinese music scene.

“Hello, Jay Chou. May I ask what this is about?”

Since Jay Chou had been his idol in his previous life, Lin Xuan still greeted him politely.

But that was it, his enthusiasm wasn’t high.

“Uh… it’s like this. I wanted to ask if you have any interest in entering the entertainment industry?”

Facing everyone’s rather indifferent reactions, Jay Chou gave an awkward, bitter smile, and a faint sense of frustration rose in his heart.

With his celebrity halo…

Normally, wherever he went, he was the center of attention, surrounded by fans.

But these few people in front of him were acting way too calm, weren’t they?!

For a moment, Jay Chou feel a bit unaccustomed, like he had suddenly become a washed-up singer no one cared about.

Of course, that feeling of disappointment came fast and went fast.

Very soon, Jay Chou adjusted his mood, got down to business, and extended an invitation to Lin Xuan.

……………

“Your cover of ‘Common Jasmin Orange’ earlier was incredibly good, already at the level of a professional singer.”

“I think you’re very promising, and with that god-tier face of yours…”

“I have 100% absolute confidence! As long as you’re willing to develop in the entertainment industry, your future achievements won’t be below mine. Surpassing me would only be a matter of time.”

“Right now, the Chinese music scene is lacking talent right now. We urgently need outstanding new blood like you.”

“So, I want to invite you to our company and sign you as an artist. I guarantee the company will handle all your packaging, operations, and also your income…”

“……………”

Before Jay Chou could even finish, Lin Xuan, already understanding where this was going, looked at him with a strange expression and shook his head decisively.

“Jay Chou, thank you for your kindness, but I have no desire to debut as an artist.”

That crisp refusal left Jay Chou frozen in place, his expression awkward.

Unwilling to give up, he tossed out a new ‘bait,’ trying to lure Lin Xuan with a high salary.

“You seriously won’t consider it?”

“You’re talented. In the future you’ll definitely blow up, become a household name. An annual salary of ten million isn’t impossible…”

Hearing that, everyone present twitched at the corners of their mouths. They almost couldn’t hold it in.

Pfft—

Chen Kexin even clutched her stomach and burst out laughing without restraint.

“Hahahaha… my stomach hurts from laughing! Jay Chou, you… you really don’t need to waste your breath! With Oni-chan’s current net worth, forget an annual salary of ten million. He probably wouldn’t even blink at a hundred million.”

“Huh?” Jay Chou scratched his head, utterly confused.

Suddenly, he remembered Lin Xuan’s seat earlier was a VIP section.

That spot alone cost a fortune, and anyone willing to spend that kind of money to watch a concert clearly had serious background.

But even so, talking like ‘hundreds of millions mean nothing’ was still a bit too much, wasn’t it???

“You’ve heard of the Su Group, right? Oni-chan, he…”

At this point, Chen Kexin finally couldn’t hold back anymore.

She stifled her laughter, wiped tears from the corner of her eyes, and in just a few sentences briefly summarized Lin Xuan’s situation.

Ah… what?!

As Lin Xuan’s family background was fully revealed, Jay Chou’s face turned bright red. He was so mortified he wanted to find a hole and crawl into it……..

This is so damn socially fatal, family!!!!!

Because of the beauty-pill and disfigurement incidents a while back, Jay Chou had naturally heard of the famous Su Group.

He knew the company was booming and had formed commercial cooperation with the Lin Group that [L] acquired, its future was destined to be bright.

As Su Group’s largest shareholder, how could Lin Xuan possibly lower himself to enter the entertainment industry as a ‘performer’?

That was just too ridiculous!!

“(。?＿?。)? I’m sorry~ Sorry, Mr. Lin. I was ignorant and rash.”

Jay Chou stuck out his cute little tongue and apologized sincerely.

“It’s fine.”

Lin Xuan smiled and waved it off, not taking it too seriously.

After all, Jay Chou had good intentions, hoping the Chinese music scene would get better and better. That was understandable

Just as Lin Xuan was about to turn around and leave…

“Wait a moment, Mr. Lin. The song you sang on stage just now sounded amazing.”

“Can I record a high-definition version and publish it so more people can hear it?”

“Oh, right! I also have a group chat! One of the members is actually the song god [L]. I especially want him to hear your cover. Is that okay?”

“[L] is the idol I admire most. Some of his songs feel like they were tailor-made for me. When I cover them, it’s effortless. I love them like crazy~~~”

“Honestly! Sometimes when I’m singing, I even get this illusion… like I’m the original creator of these songs myself.”

“Of course, I’ve always admired [L], and I know saying this is shameless.”

“But I just don’t know why… I feel like I’ve always been living in [L]’s shadow…”

“………….”

Hearing that, Lin Xuan was speechless, his expression growing even stranger, and in the end he silently nodded.

“Sure. Record all you want. I have no objections. Farewell!”

After saying that, Lin Xuan fled as if escaping, pushing Su Qingge as they quickly left the stadium…
