Obsessive Tycoon and His Swan Girl
Chapter 120 - 120 120 Vest Miss J

Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Vest Miss J Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Vest Miss J Zhang Xi’s pleading eyes turned to Jiang Fanyue.

The song was on Jiang Fanyue’s phone, and she needed to obtain Jiang Fanyue’s consent.

As everyone followed Zhang Xi’s gaze toward Jiang Fanyue, they realized that despite all Zhang Xi had said, the ultimate outcome still depended on Jiang Fanyue.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Jiang Fanyue could no longer pretend as if nothing were the matter and stepped forward.

She said softly, “The unreleased song of Xu Jin, I let Zhang Xi listen to a bit of it. Today, when Zhang Xi heard the piece Jiang Zhe played and found it identical to Xu Jin’s, she came forward to expose Jiang Zhe.”

“So how did you get it?”

Before Xu Jin could ask, the fans had already posed the question for him.

Jiang Fanyue had indeed obtained the song through less than proper channels, which was why she had let Zhang Xi create the disturbance while she stayed hidden behind her.

But now she could no longer hide.

After weighing the situation in her heart, she realized that even if the matter escalated, the one who would ultimately be blamed would be Jiang Zhe, who played the song in public, and not herself.

She steadied her mind and said, “I had some collaboration with Xu Jin before, so I visited the recording studio, and just happened to hear a few notes. I didn’t record those tunes. It was when I recalled the melodies that I played them on the piano and recorded them on my phone. The part I have matches Jiang Zhe’s nearly exactly, but I don’t know how much more of Xu Jin’s work Jiang Zhe has plagiarized.”

Out of vanity, she concealed the fact that she overheard the tunes accidentally in the bathroom and instead decorated her account with more acceptable language, making her visit and acquisition of the melodies seem unintentional.

Subconsciously, she still wished to be regarded as a friend of Xu Jin’s by everyone.

After she spoke, Xu Jin’s fans nodded in agreement. Although they did not like her, since she obtained the melodies during a studio visit, they concluded it to be a legitimate method of acquisition and not a significant issue.

Xu Jin, holding the microphone, made a sound of acknowledgment, “Hmm, and where is your version of the song?”

Seeing him ask, Jiang Fanyue took out her phone and played what she had recorded.

It was just a short clip, lasting barely ten to twenty seconds.

It was the same tune she had heard a staff member humming while working, and she didn’t know any more than that.

Despite the brevity of the musical sound, the melody was catchy and memorable, leading the audience to recognize immediately that it was the same climax portion that Jiang Zhe had just played on stage!

“It’s exactly like Jiang Zhe’s!”

“No, it’s that Jiang Zhe’s is exactly like Xu Jin’s!”

“Jiang Zhe has gone too far, presenting someone else’s work as her own to gain honors! And she’s still defiant when exposed!”

“Such behavior must be severely punished!”

“Apologize! Punish severely!”

Jiang Fanyue knew she had made the right choice by speaking out, saying, “I don’t know why Jiang Zhe would do such a thing, but since plagiarism is such an egregious act, I hope she can offer an explanation to everyone and to Xu Jin.”

As she contemplated Jiang Zhe’s imminent downfall, Jiang Fanyue couldn’t contain her extreme joy.

The students from First Middle School, led by Wang Xue, felt disgraced, faintly sensing the embarrassment of wearing the same uniform as Jiang Zhe.

The students from Second Middle School, always competing with First Middle School, looked on with expressions of amusement.

In the crowd, Jiang Zhe’s expression remained unchanged, her appearance alluring and thickly cosmetic. The lighting cast shadows on her face, rendering her emotions unreadable, but a hint of condescension seemed to emanate from her.

Xu Jin, with the microphone in hand, the audience awaited his condemnation and questioning.

A clear male voice rang out, “Jiang Zhe performed her own composition on stage, which is completely fine.”

“Indeed, she should be condemned…” Xu Jin’s fans said eagerly, only to react after hearing exactly what Xu Jin had said, “…what, she composed it herself?”

“The entire piece that Jiang Zhe played on stage is indeed identical to my unreleased song. However, it was composed by Jiang Zhe herself and licensed to me for use. She is not only the composer but also holds the complete copyright, and before going on stage, she had consulted my opinion. There has been no plagiarism or misappropriation, and I came here today to clarify this situation to everyone,” Xu Jin explained.

Xu Jin’s words reached everyone’s ears, clear and understandable.

The previously noisy audience fell so silent that one could hear a pin drop.

A moment later, the buzzing discussion started again as if a pot had exploded: “Jiang Zhe composed it herself!”

“That’s too awesome!”

“Impressive indeed!”

“But the style of this piece is very similar to Miss J’s, so is it that Jiang Zhe imitated the style, or could she actually be…”

The last speaker was very close to Xu Jin.

After she finished speaking, Xu Jin naturally responded, “Jiang Zhe has always been my composer, is there a problem with that?”

Boom! The news exploded across the venue!

Jiang Zhe is Miss J!

Everyone was stunned by the revelation!

Miss J, the composer all singers in the industry wanted to collaborate with, who had helped Xu Jin conquer the music world.

Every singer’s fan had dreamt that their idol would be able to collaborate with the mysterious Miss J!

But nobody knew who Miss J really was, as Xu Jin had always picked up the awards on her behalf.

Not even whether Miss J was male or female was known!

Now, Miss J had a name, Jiang Zhe.

She is Jiang Zhe!

Miss J, J, if that isn’t Jiang, then what is it?

The doubt was gone, replaced by deep awe and amazement, along with envious looks.

Xu Jin had been a major star for several years, dominating the music scene for four or five years. So, did that mean Jiang Zhe had been composing songs for Xu Jin since she was in junior high?

As Xu Jin confirmed the facts in person, not only was the on-site crowd shocked, but also people were posting the event in real-time onto the internet, leaving netizens speechless.

“I only hate that I lack culture, as the phrase ‘holy shit’ conquers all,” that was many netizens’ first reaction.

The people from Second Middle School looked at each other in dismay, thinking they’d witness a joke on First Middle School, but it turned out like this?

Meng Yirou’s complexion was stable, likely because she was used to keeping her composure.

It was Wang Xue who was particularly unsettled, thinking about the championship that slipped through her fingers. If she had agreed to join Jiang Zhe’s band earlier, could she also be part of the spotlight now?

Zhang Xi was stupefied, his face flushed with awkwardness, mouth agape, at a loss for words, only able to stare blankly at Jiang Fanyue.

Jiang Fanyue’s fingers were digging into her palm, as the jealousy that originated from her bones spread throughout her skin and blood vessels! Jiang Zhe, once again, stood at the center of everyone’s attention, adorned with a halo, being worshipped.

She trembled all over as if the cold air outside had invaded her alone.
