"If you ask me, Zhang Yuan is still the one responsible for this. If he hadn't insisted on signing Meng Tianye and lost his head, stirring up all that trouble, we wouldn't be in such a difficult position."
Brother Zhang refused to take the blame when he heard someone pinning it on him. "I'm an agent. My job is to discover promising newcomers and sign them to the company. Whatever Meng Tianye's personality is like, he has excellent looks and impressive skills. He meets the standards for someone Qin Dynasty Records would sign and heavily promote-"

"Meng Tianye, don't let your emotions get the better of you," Zhang Yuan
