Chapter 152: A Daughter Named Wanyi

At 7:30 AM, in the Preliminary Review Department of Grand Music and Dance Review Division.

Looking at the envious and approving glances cast by her colleagues, Liu Qingxin could not help but let a radiant smile bloom on her face. After all, what young person doesn't want to lecture their superior?

Thanks to Yue Xiaotian, not only did she escape criticism during this morning's review meeting, but she had even metaphorically scolded Department Head Zhao. This feeling was truly wonderful.

After exchanging a few words with her colleagues and secretly relishing the thrill of lecturing a superior, Liu Qingxin began her day's review work.

After all, although Yue Xiaotian had designated her as his exclusive reviewer, what he wanted was a fierce counterattack. He would grant performance opportunities to Xiao Lan and the others based on how many musical pieces they managed to master.

And the timeframe Yue Xiaotian had set was half a year. In other words, she still needed to continue working during this period and deepen her understanding of the Planet Blue music system.

Just as Liu Qingxin was preparing to work, her Mango 6 lying on the desk rang, its ringtone already changed to "Heartbeat."

Glancing at the name on the screen, Liu Qingxin put on her Purple Fang earphones and connected the call. "How is it that our famous reporter Li has the time to call me amidst your busy schedule?"

Li Wanyi, twenty-three years old, a citizen of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Country, and an overseas student. She was Liu Qingxin's college roommate and best friend from her days at Blue Bridge.

Unlike Liu Qingxin, after returning to her home country, Li Wanyi did not choose a large corporation, opting instead for a startup media company.

According to her personal perspective, small companies valued individuals more, offered more things to learn, and possessed broader prospects.

At this moment, Li Wanyi's cheerful and sweet laughter came through the Purple Fang. "You little trick, trying to brainwash me whenever you have a chance, huh? Our future Department Head Liu, I wonder if you have time to let a humble girl do an exclusive interview? Hehe."

After a round of playful banter, Li Wanyi's tone turned serious. "Let me talk to you about a serious matter. I listened to 'Heartbeat' which you recommended, and now I know about Yue Xiaotian. I want you to help me contact him; I need to interview him."

Glancing around, she saw her colleagues busy working with ridiculously expensive earphones on, paying no particular attention to her. Only then did Liu Qingxin ask in confusion, "Why do I need to do anything? Can't you just go directly?"

Li Wanyi on the other end seemed to be shaking her head. "Do you want to get me killed? Take a look at the news first."

Her heart skipped a beat, and Liu Qingxin immediately began searching for Yue Xiaotian on her computer.

Sure enough, news about Yue Xiaotian appeared across major websites, occupying the absolute top headlines.

She casually clicked on a video website and opened a video titled "Musician Performance Error, Hot-Tempered Conductor Uses Weapon to Threaten Major Media Outlets."

Once opened, a live-recorded scene immediately appeared on the computer screen.

Based on the road signs along the way, Liu Qingxin recognized this as a highway leading out of the tenth ring of Imperial Dragon City.

Nineteen motorcycles and a medium-sized delivery truck formed a small convoy, led by Yue Xiaotian and Ziwei.

In the sky, there were dozens of helicopters belonging to various media outlets.

Meanwhile, a female reporter broadcasting live from inside a helicopter appeared in the video.

Through her narration, she briefly introduced the situation of Yue Xiaotian and Ziwei, as well as the process and cause of last night's events at the Profound Dance Pavilion.

This footage originated from an entertainment company called Longteng, dating back to a little after 4:00 AM.

As the live broadcast aired across major media platforms, television stations, and music networks, dozens of media outlets had dispatched helicopters to follow them.

They had been following them like this for nearly three hours; dawn had broken, the sun had risen, and Yue Xiaotian had lost his temper.

Originally, all major media outlets shared the same misgivings and had refrained from ground-tracking methods such as interview vans.

However, they hadn't expected that flying in the skies would offer no immunity either.

At the time of the incident, the motorcycle convoy slowly came to a stop, and Yue Xiaotian took a weapon—a blue violin—from Ziwei's hands. Yue Xiaotian roared up at the sky, "Get lost right now! Follow me any further and you'll taste one of my string cannons!"

As a result, none of the major media outlets believed in such supernatural threats. When explosions began erupting in the airspace right next to one of the helicopters, the scene instantly descended into chaos, and the helicopters fled one after another.

At the end of the video, the female reporter stated, "Little Wang has reported this at the risk of her life; viewers, please show more support for Golden Dragon Channel 5," accompanied by a dainty expression full of grievance.

At this moment, Liu Qingxin did not continue following the subsequent reports, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly.

Promptly, she said, "Wanyi, this Yue Xiaotian has a rather hasty temper. Why don't you skip it and not go?"

Li Wanyi did not back down. "Precisely because the major media outlets have no chance, I need this opportunity all the more. Anyway, I'll leave this matter in your hands. Once this blows over, I'll buy you a Fire Phoenix dress."

Liu Qingxin hurriedly waved her hand. "No way, it's too dangerous for you to go over there."

At this point, a teasing undertone crept into Li Wanyi's voice. "If it weren't dangerous, I wouldn't be coming to you. Don't think I don't know—the person who drove you home last night was Yue Xiaotian, right? Exclusive reviewer, drinking by the river, chauffeured transport. Hehe, confess, what's going on between the two of you?"

Her face blushing slightly, Liu Qingxin whispered, "Stop letting your imagination run wild. Didn't I tell you everything last night? He just felt that I shouldn't be implicated because of Ziwei's affair. Besides, he has the Water Spirit Princess Ziwei by his side; how could he possibly fancy someone like me?"

"Oh, why do I detect a hint of sourness in your voice? No matter how beautiful Ziwei is, Yue Xiaotian wouldn't mind adding one more. After all, every woman is a different musical note. I refuse to believe he can resist the charm of our great beauty Liu."

"Keep flattering me all you want. The higher you lift me up, the harder I'll fall."

"Don't try to brush me off; contact Yue Xiaotian right now. Otherwise, I'm making you sleep on the sofa tonight."

If love was complex, it was complex to the point of boundlessness. However, if it was simple, it could also be extremely simple.

For Yue Xiaotian—the Conductor of the Great Dance God who had attracted endless romantic fate through the Nine-Complementing Universe Dance of Drawing Flowers—his aura, coupled with his supreme confidence and strength in the realm of music and dance, constituted a powerful weapon for attracting young women.

Upon learning that "Heartbeat" was played personally by him, combined with the thoughtful chauffeured rides and drinking and chatting together, Liu Qingxin had indeed felt her heart flutter.

However, the moment she thought of the ethereal Ziwei being a transcendent dancer and the princess of the noble Water Spirit Country, her confidence vanished.

Of course, despite these inner thoughts, she still had to help Li Wanyi with her favor.

Taking a deep breath, she dialed Yue Xiaotian's number.

When the call connected, Yue Xiaotian's laughter came through from the other end. "Hehe, did you get it all out of your system?"

Smiling knowingly, Liu Qingxin nodded and said, "Yes, thank you for your defense earlier. By the way, I'd like to ask you for a favor. I have a friend named Li Wanyi; she's a reporter for a media company and would like to interview you. Is it convenient for you?"

Yue Xiaotian replied, "Your friend? Then let her come; I'm at the summit of Mount Huangqiu."

Not expecting him to agree so readily, Liu Qingxin felt somewhat flattered. "B-but didn't you say this morning that you weren't willing?"

"Haha, you're talking about this morning? It's just that they were too annoying. Now, I actually need the media to report on this; I haven't let Red Plum know my dissatisfaction yet. Just have your friend come over, I'm hanging up now. Time is a bit tight."

"Bye-bye."

"Bye-bye."

After the call disconnected, Liu Qingxin fell into a daze. He agreed just like that? Could it be that he truly harbored feelings for her?

While her mind raced with a thousand thoughts, she promptly relayed this good news to Li Wanyi.
