After rejecting my celebrity husband-Chapter 101: Why Should I Step Down?
She knew she had sung the wrong notes, but who could she blame for that?
If he hadn’t deliberately arranged for her to sing right after dancing, would her breathing be so unstable?
Leng Zimo’s brows furrowed even tighter.
Having just finished an interview at the press conference downstairs and knowing she was rehearsing here, he made a point to come and see for himself. As he walked in, he saw her singing on stage, only to hear her hit two wrong notes halfway through the song.
He had stayed up all night revising that song for her. Was it all for her to spoil it like this?!
She even dared to yell at him?
Leng Zimo raised his hand, pointing to the stage below.
"Get off!"
"Why should I get off? This is my stage!" Luo Xiaoqian stood her ground, "I haven’t finished singing yet!"
Leng Zimo looked down at her from above, his face full of anger.
With her current state and emotions, she could sing it ten more times and still not get it right.
"Xiao Qian!" Xu Xia hurried up, grabbing Luo Xiaoqian’s arm, showing an apologetic smile to Leng Zimo, and dragged Luo Xiaoqian off the stage to a corner, "Silly girl, are you crazy? Don’t you know who he is? Leng Zimo, the boss of Emperor View. I found out from the news yesterday that EM is also funded by him. Why are you going against him?"
Luo Xiaoqian bit her lip and remained silent, her heart filled with indescribable grievances.
How could Xu Xia know that it wasn’t her going against Leng Zimo but he was deliberately targeting her?
"President Leng!" Meanwhile, Lin Luoshi had also realized the situation, walking onto the stage with a smile, "I’m so sorry for this embarrassment. It’s quite normal for the students to be nervous on their first time on stage..."
Leng Zimo didn’t pay attention to her but merely glanced at Luo Xiaoqian below the stage before turning to walk off.
Lin Luoshi busied herself seeing him out, and the directors and assistant directors bustling around the broadcasting studio scurried over, escorting him out of the studio like stars surrounding the moon.
Below the stage, Shen Xinyi had an expression of sheer satisfaction.
To be scolded by the boss on your first performance, Luo Xiaoqian, your future seems bleak!
A moment later, Lin Luoshi returned with her chin held high.
"Next one, continue!"

By the time the fourth rehearsal ended, it was already after nine in the evening, and everyone finally received permission to go home.
Luo Xiaoqian slung her bag over her shoulder and boarded the bus with Xu Xia. Her phone buzzed lightly inside her bag; she fished out the device and saw that it was a call from Lu Hao.
"Who is it?" Xu Xia peeked over curiously when she didn’t answer, her face changing color instantly upon seeing the number. She reached out and pressed the hang-up button, "That jerk, he still has the nerve to call you. Don’t bother with him!"
The screen showed twenty-five missed calls.
Luo Xiaoqian pulled up the call log, and it was all from Lu Hao.
Besides those, there were two messages, one from "Tyrant" — Leng Zimo.
She read the message, which was typical of his style with only eight simple words — "Come back immediately after rehearsal!" — except this time, he added an exclamation mark, seemingly indicating his anger and displeasure.
The other message was from the landlord, telling her she must come back tonight because there was an emergency.
As Lu Hao’s call came in once again, she simply shut off her phone.
The rent had already been paid, so what could the landlord want now?
Feeling puzzled and noticing the familiar supermarket outside, Luo Xiaoqian knew she was near the neighborhood where she rented, so she quickly stood up, "Driver, could you please stop at the next intersection? I need to get off!"
