I’m the Villain’s Lackey, and I Started by Forcibly Kissing the Villain’s Sister - Chapter 51:

Chapter 51: You, a Good-for-Nothing, Still Dare to Compete with Me?:

After being fired by Su Xiaonuan, Lin Xian was utterly miserable, instantly becoming an unemployed drifter. 

He tried applying to many companies, but was rejected by subordinates before he could even meet the CEOs. 

Because Lin Xian had worked with big stars like Su Xiaonuan and collaborated with major entertainment companies like Diwei Entertainment, yet still got fired — obviously, there was a problem. 

No music company dared to accept him, partly fearing he had issues, and partly fearing to offend a giant like Diwei Entertainment. 

So even though Lin Xian had the system and skills, no one was willing to hire him.

In a daze, he arrived at his final destination, looked up at the signboard, and muttered, “Kangyang Entertainment Company…” He sighed deeply, feeling gloomy. “Is this the last one? I hope they accept me; otherwise, I’ll have to leave Jiangcheng.” 

Lin Xian sighed heavily, full of frustration. 

He still didn’t understand why Su Xiaonuan had fired him. Wasn’t their collaboration perfect?

But it didn’t matter anymore…

To his surprise, Kangyang Entertainment Company accepted him for an interview! 

Even more surprising, he heard that today, a big shot would personally conduct the interview.

Soon, at Kangyang Entertainment Company under the Feng family, Ye Xuan, who was temporarily in charge, was preparing to interview the next producer. 

Just moments ago, an experienced producer had submitted a song titled “Strong Wind,” which was quite good, but still lacking something. 

Ye Xuan shook his head, feeling dissatisfied. 

After all, he was planning to shine at Lin Xue’er’s Birthday Banquet, so the quality of the song had to be impeccable.

As the next interviewee entered, Ye Xuan was stunned!

“Hello, I’m Lin Xian, here for the interview today. My works include…” Lin Xian hurriedly introduced his works, trying to make a good impression. 

When he carefully looked at the interviewer, he saw a person who exuded an aura of dominance, a kind of banished immortal-like aura, standing proud between heaven and earth — it was Ye Xuan. 

Truly imposing! 

One glance and you knew he wasn’t ordinary!

Ye Xuan was also surprised when he saw Lin Xian. For some reason, he felt an instant connection… no, more like a sense of meeting a kindred spirit! Thus, they began their interview conversation.

Soon, after a round of conversation, Ye Xuan asked directly, “I heard you were fired by superstar Su Xiaonuan. Why?” 

As expected, Ye Xuan went straight to Lin Xian’s sore spot… This was also the reason he had been rejected by other companies!

“I… it’s because I’m too talented! Su Xiaonuan was afraid that once I grew wings, I’d leave her! She was jealous of my talent, so she fired me!” Lin Xian decided to change his usual answer. 

As soon as he said this, Ye Xuan was completely amazed and thought to himself, ‘Damn! This guy can brag even better than me!’

His eyes lit up, and the following conversation went even more smoothly, both of them feeling regret for not meeting sooner. 

Just like that, the two protagonists, by a twist of fate, ended up collaborating! 

Lin Xian even “created” a song for Ye Xuan, titled “Sorrow of the Departed.”

“I should wander the world leisurely, drinking a pot of murky wine.

In drunkenness, watch the deep sorrow hidden among the blossoms.

Don’t leave your love waiting on the wild plains beyond the frontier~

In dreams, this sorrow soars to the highest tower.”

After listening to the song, Ye Xuan was very satisfied, beaming with a bright smile. He believed that at tomorrow’s banquet, he would surely astonish the crowd with this song and win Lin Xue’er’s favor!

…

The next day arrived…

Early in the morning, Su Chen had just finished breakfast when he received a system notification. 

[Ding! Lin Xue’er’s Birthday Banquet is about to begin.] 

“Hmm? Lin Xue’er’s Birthday Banquet?” Su Chen was surprised. 

Had the plot already reached this point? 

His eyes gradually lit up. In the original plot, this banquet was a major event. 

After all, the Lin family’s power in the local area was enormous, among the top families, and no one dared to underestimate them. 

Moreover, Lin Xue’er was a peerless beauty, and she had countless simps. Thus, the scale of this banquet was far beyond that of an ordinary wedding banquet or graduation banquet.

According to the original plot, Ye Xuan would show off madly at this banquet, sweeping everyone’s favorability and leaving the crowd in awe. 

After shocking the entire venue, Lin Xue’er would be deeply impressed by Ye Xuan and even begin to develop feelings for him. 

[Ye Xuan, hehe!] 

Su Chen looked forward to the upcoming banquet even more.

…

Meanwhile, the banquet was being held at one of the Lin family’s grand villas, one of their top mansions, perfect for hosting guests. 

Luxury cars constantly arrived at the gate, and just by glancing at the license plates, it was clear these were wealthy and prestigious individuals. All sorts of auspicious numbers could be seen.

Several butlers, led by an elder, were stationed at the entrance to greet the guests. 

This elder was the chief steward of the Lin family, the one who had served the longest. 

He had grown up with the old master of the Lin family, and even ordinary clan members had to respectfully call him Uncle Lin. Many from other prominent families also recognized this highly respected elder. In the Lin family, his status was like an evergreen tree — solid and unshakable. Thus, the guests all greeted Uncle Lin politely.

As more and more luxurious carriages arrived, a particularly grand convoy, every vehicle extremely expensive, slowly drove into the manor. 

“Oh? That’s the Bai family!” 

“Hehe, see? I told you the Bai family’s Young Master would come.” 

“Tch, of course. Lin Xue’er has countless admirers; Young Master Bai is just one of the more devoted ones!” 

“Hey, by the way, I heard they even invited people from Sakura Country for this banquet!” 

“What? Could it be… that family?!” 

Amid the murmuring of the crowd, the luxurious convoy rolled in.

Leading the grand convoy was none other than Bai Zihang of the Bai family, bringing a large group to celebrate Lin Xue’er’s birthday. After all, Lin Xue’er was Bai Zihang’s goddess; how could he miss her Birthday Banquet?

Following closely behind the Bai family was another heavyweight — Ye Xuan! 

Ye Xuan was brought in by Feng Yongkang. If he had come alone, he might not have even gotten an invitation. For now, his primary goal was to cling tightly to the thigh of Big Brother Feng.

Ye Xuan spotted Bai Zihang and let out a disdainful snort, thinking to himself, ‘Heh, I got the super unbeatable song “Sorrow of the Departed” from Lin Xian. I’m going to stun the whole crowd. And you, a mere good-for-nothing, still want to compete with me? Just wait and see me steal the spotlight!’
