Chapter 349: Make a song that people can't say otherwise

But Duan Huiling doesn't have time to think about this. The tense and strained atmosphere was just that bad. 

"Don't worry about it. It's just one loss. You guys can win after this." Duan Huiling thought her words would make Zhang Jian and Duan Huiling get over their loss. 

But it did the exact opposite! Her words acted like oil being poured into a fire!

Zhang Jian's face turns even darker. While Duan Changming's expression is indescribable. Like he was questioning his life right now. 

Both of them can't accept that they lost. 

Seeing this, Duan Huiling didn't know what to do. But what made her more flustered was Lu Chen. She turns over to look at Lu Chen only to find him ordering more food! It's like the two people in front of him are invisible. 

Duan Huiling tugs on Lu Chen's arm and whispers, "Shouldn't you say something to them? Help cheer them up."

Lu Chen tilts his head, "Why bother? Just let them be like this. They lost. That's all there is to it. If they want to whine about it, then let them whine." Lu Chen doesn't bother to speak anymore as he continues to eat his rice. 

He didn't sugarcoat his words or even keep his voice down when he said it. 

Duan Huiling's mouth gaped open. 'Think about them, CEO!' She didn't think Lu Chen would be so direct. And his words did have an effect on the two. 

"...Aren't you angry?" Zhang Jian's the one who asked Lu Chen this question. 

"Hmm? What should I be angry about?"

The moment Lu Chen said this, Zhang Jian slams his hand onto the table as he stands up! From the loud sound, the customers turn to look at the commotion. 

Zhang Jian screams out again, "How can you be so calm when we got cheated out like that?!"

Even though Bo Ping told him that he shouldn't be ashamed about losing and that he was the winner, it still didn't sit well with him.

How could he lose to somebody that didn't do as well as him?

Zhang Jian just couldn't stand it. He isn't alone in this, as Gong Changming has the same thoughts. The loss felt like a smear to his work. 

Gong Changming was sitting beside Duan Huiling. When he heard Ling Chen's music, he knew that Ling Chen's work wasn't something worthy. 

And that's why it stung him. If his work couldn't beat that, then what is it? Trash? Garbage? All those words came into his mind when he saw the score.

Lu Chen starts to sip on some tea, and then he explains, "Of course I was angry about the decision as well. Don't get me wrong. But after a while, I realized it didn't matter."

"How can you say that it doesn't matter?! Didn't winning mean a lot for the company?!" 

"Yeah, that's what I thought of at first. But the more that I think about it, the more I notice that process matters. What's more important than winning is getting people to notice you more." 

Lu Chen thought that Zhang Jian needed to win to get more noticeability. But that wasn't the case now. 

Seeing how the crowd cheered for Zhang Jian so hard, Lu Chen knew it's more important to keep the crowd's attention.

And that Zhang Jian did. Even if Zhang Jian lost, he still created a large fanbase. Even now, Lu Chen saw that Zhang Jian's fans are cheering him up from the loss.

"But." Zhang Jian still didn't want to give up on this. 

Lu Chen sighs, "If you really feel that you deserve to win, then prove it next time." This battle between Zhang Jian and Ling Cehn will not be the end. 

"..."

"Stop complaining and sulking about this. Use this time to get better and think of what you can do to improve." Lu Chen doesn't say more as he continues to eat. 

Seeing Lu Chen so nonchalant, Zhang Jian didn't know what to say next. However, he starts eating. Lu Chen's right. How could he be sulking at a time like this?!

Yes, this loss would be a big stain on his record. However, this will be the last time!

Hearing how he'll meet with Ling Chen again, Zhang Jian decides that he will pay him back ten-fold! He couldn't let this defeat keep him from growing.

If this song wasn't able to win, then he will make a song that people can't say otherwise!
