Chapter 283: Rejected

Chapter 283: Rejected

"Achoo!" 

"Did you catch a cold, boss?" 

"Nah, I don't think so." Lu Chen continues to sneeze, not knowing somebody was cursing him out behind his back. 

After dealing with the commotion, he went to watch the second stage of the competition. There were more people than last time. 

With how well the first stage went, more people came to watch it live. 

However, for Lu Chen, it was a bore, "Do I really need to come here still?" Lu Chen knows Zhang Jian was going to smash all the competition in the early stages. 

"Boss, viewing the competition isn't to support your friend. It's also to scout for new talent." Zhang Jian was the biggest fish they're getting. 

But they'll need more talent to promote their company. This competition was a chance for them to find some. 

Lu Chen looks at her weirdly, "You got a lot of positivity in you." Lu Chen knew that he wasn't going to get new talent to join. 

If they choose to join, it would be a miracle. 

"Hey, what are you guys talking about?" Zhang Jian came back with a lighthearted smile. Lu Chen looked back to the stage, and he knew Zhang Jian passed with flying colors. The cheering of the crowd said it all. 

"Not that much. We were just looking for new talent to recruit." Duan Huiling says that. 

Zhang Jian's expression brightens, "Oh, if we are trying to recruit new talents, then I got a few I have in mind." 

Now it's Duan Huiling's turn to be happy. What better way for her to find talent when a monster talent like Zhang Jian gives his input?

Before she could ask about it, another voice interrupts her, 

"Contestant Zhang Jian, can we speak?" The three turned around to Ling Wei and another man standing there.

Zhang Jian bows, "Hello, judge Ling Wei. What can I do for you." 

"Zhang Jian, you know that you have decent talent in music, don't you?"

Zhang Jian nods, and Ling Wei cuts to the chase, "Then join my company." 

"..." Now you're asking him as well? First, it was Chu Jingyi, and now it's Ling Wei. Anybody would cry tears of jealousy from the good opportunities Zhang Jian gets. 

Seeing his silence, Ling Wei promotes her company, "My company is much better than Chu Jingyi. We'll definitely give you resources to turn you into one of the best musicians."

Ling Wei smiles as she promotes it. 

'I got you now. Chu Jingyi, I'm going to take your precious student.' 

Despite her smile, Ling Wei's reason for asking Zhang Jian to join was much darker. 

When comparing Chu Jingyi's reputation to Ling Wei's, the latter was more famous. However, it was only slightly. 

The two companies were rivals of each other. And the person who was causing the problems for her was none other than Chu Jingyi. 

When Ling Wei heard how Chu Jingyi got rejected by Zhang Jian, she knew it was her chance. If she could get Zhang Jian to join her company, it would be a big slap to Chu Jingyi. 

However, Zhang Jian refuses, "Sorry, but I'm looking to join any companies at this moment." 

'What? You don't want to join?' Before Ling Wei could ask why, the person next to her shouts, "How dare you refuse my aunt's reputation! Do you know what kind of opportunity she is giving you?!" 

Zhang Jian didn't give him a glance. But he did say," Judge Ling Wei has given me the invitation, not you. So I also have the right to refuse it as well."

"YOU-"

"Are you sure you want to refuse my offer?" Ling Wei frowned. Everybody could tell Ling Wei was pissed off.

Zhang Jian nods, "Yes, I want to see my options before I join any company."

Ling Wei's expression turns darker. Not only has Zhang Jian rejected her offer, she thought he was looking down on her company. 

"Contestant Zhang Jian, what if this is the only offer you will ever get in your life?" Ling Wei's voice sounded condescending as she glared at Zhang Jian.

"Maybe it is, maybe it's not. But whatever the case may be, it's my choice to decide." 

Ling Wei never thought Zhang Jian would reject her offer twice! 

Before Ling Wei could continue,

"Well, if it isn't senior Ling."
