Chapter 190: The Ace of the Entertainment Industry (2)

On that day, they ended up eating delivery.

Feng San was still haunted by the memory.

Fortunately, it was just the kitchen that blew up.

If Si Fuqing had actually managed to cook something, he feared it might have been him who exploded.

“That’s why you need to learn cooking, Uncle Nine,” Yu Tang worriedly advised. “As the saying goes, to capture a girl’s heart, you must first capture her stomach!”

…

She herself couldn’t cook and aspired to find a boyfriend who was a culinary wizard.

“She’s different,” Yu Xihe remarked with a slight raise of his brow, unhurried,

“Her stomach’s not the key, it’s gold bricks.”

Yu Tang was speechless…

Never before had she felt her Uncle Nine understood Qingqing so well.

“Thump!”

The last drumbeat sounded, and the music stopped.

The audience was still immersed in the perfection of the performance, unable to snap back to reality.

“It was so beautiful, truly beautiful,” Lu Ningsheng was the first to speak, applauding enthusiastically. “From my experience, I’ve never seen such an excellent group performance. You all were fantastic.”

“Now, I can finally see a future for domestic entertainment. You are the future.”

None of the six members of Xie Yu’s group was over 20, all young and in their prime.

“Of course! Apart from our talented trainees, there’s another person who surprised us all,” Lu Ningsheng added, winking. “Let’s invite Teacher Si to the stage!”

Si Fuqing approached the stage.

Dressed in shorts and a short-sleeved top, she revealed her delicate, fair waist, dazzling.

“Teacher Si, you’re amazing, I never expected you to play the bass,” Lu Ningsheng applauded again. “But everyone’s curious about another person who was the drummer?

“My younger brother. He’s shy, so don’t bother him,” Si Fuqing wrapped her arms around herself, her fox-like eyes bold yet captivating. “Isn’t watching me enough?”

[Enough, enough! With a smile from our wife, who else in the entertainment industry can compare?]

[I officially announce I’m disbanding my harem to only dote on Wife Qingqing!]

[Told you it wasn’t Su Yang. Got slapped in the face, didn’t you?]

“Teacher Si performed, so she obviously can’t comment,” Lu Ningsheng raised an eyebrow. “Let’s pass the mic to our other three mentors for their thoughts.”

“The way Teacher Si played, she’s clearly not a beginner. Truly impressive,” the vocal mentor commented with a smile. “I wonder when we’ll see Teacher Si dance?”

Si Fuqing remained composed: “That would require someone to give me the opportunity.”

The microphone passed to Li Jingchen.

He seemed somewhat conflicted, pausing before speaking: “As a singer-songwriter mentor, let me speak from an innovative perspective. This song was newly composed, more challenging than the original, and very successful. I admire it.”

Lu Ningsheng turned, “What about you, Teacher Lin?”

Lin Qingyan struggled to maintain her smile.

She used all her strength to suppress her jealousy, resentment, and dissatisfaction.

“Teacher Si truly surprised us today,” Lin Qingyan managed a flawless smile. “As a fellow dance mentor, I’m really no match. I can’t sing or play any instrument, just dance.”

[Is Lin Qingyan implying that Teacher Si can’t dance?]

[Seriously, even if she can’t dance, so what? Teacher Si is already so talented. If she could dance too, would she still be human?]

“Alright, let’s look at the big screen!” Lu Ningsheng turned. “Xie Yu’s final vote count—”

The screen scrolled.

“923 votes! Congratulations!”

With only 1000 public judges, Xie Yu’s high score showcased his impressive talent.

The screen displayed the other contestants’ scores.

“Wow, Brother Xie! I actually got 560 votes!” Xu Xiyun was ecstatic, barely restraining himself from jumping. “I passed Teacher Si’s assessment again.” Xie Yu was genuinely impressed: “How is there such a lucky fool in this world?”

Always just making it.

Impressive.

“Xie Yu takes the top spot again with 923 votes. Probably no one will surpass him tonight, ” Lu Ningsheng continued. “Let’s welcome the next group, Lu Yan’s group, to the stage!”

Lu Yan trembled as he walked on stage.

But he managed to complete his performance smoothly.

However, the audience was unimDressed.

[Lu Yan’s performance has gotten worse. What’s he dancing and singing? If he can’t do it, just leave!]

[To be fair, Lu Yan is still professional, but… unfortunately, he had to follow Xie Yu’s performance. It’s a stark contrast.]

[Lu Yan was truly no match for Xie Yu. It was like comparing the earth to the sky. I had once voted for him, but now, I regret it deeply.] [I am really disappointed and have switched my support.]

[I can hardly believe that Lu Yan’s votes were on par with Xie Yu’s, even surpassing him a few times.]

As expected, Lu Yan’s performance in the second public show was even more disastrous than the first.

He only received three hundred votes.

Even the weakest trainee in Xie Yu’s group had four hundred and fifty votes.

As the center, Lu Yan’s low number of votes meant his chance was in vain.

Lu Yan finally realized why he was placed after Xie Yu.

It was a deliberate comparison, a ploy to suppress him!

Had the production team gone mad?

After all, he had the backing of two investors!

Lu Yan clenched his fists and lifted his head.

Xie Yu sat on the throne of the Like King, not looking at anyone.

It wasn’t arrogance, but rather an inherent pride.

Lu Yan’s face turned red with embarrassment as he dejectedly left the stage, returning to the ordinary trainees’ seats.

The subsequent performances were unremarkable, failing to stir any excitement.

“Qing You, that was close,” a male student said, patting his chest with relief. “If we were placed after Xie Yu, we would have been finished too.” He looked enviously at Xu Xiyun.

What kind of luck did one need to have Si Fuqing, a god-like mentor?

The public performance ended smoothly, far better than the first one.

The entire production team was overjoyed.

“Qingqing, let’s go for a meal,” Yu Tang slipped to the backstage to fetch Si Fuqing. “Uncle Nine has booked a private room at Linjiang Pavilion to celebrate your success!”

“The boss is thoughtful,” Si Fuqing nodded. “Everyone’s busy with other things right now, so let’s slip away before we get caught.”

Yu Tang looked around: “Qingqing, what about your brother? Aren’t you inviting him?”

“He left earlier to avoid the crowd,” Si Fuqing thought for a moment. “He doesn’t usually eat late-night snacks, but I’ll still tell him.”

“Great, let’s go,” Yu Tang said, linking arms with her. “Your guard and the director from Great Xia are also invited. I think the director is quite nice.”

Si Fuqing had no objections.

The assistant director was a good person despite being bald. [9]: I’m off to eat. How long do you plan to stay in Lincheng?

[S]: Eating out? I want to join.

[9]: Weren’t you going to the bar? I saw your fans are already there to meet you.

[S]: Walked around for a bit, tired. Not going anymore. Send me the address, I’ll join for the meal.

[9]: Okay.

Si Fuqing sent the address and room number of Linjiang Pavilion.

They arrived at Linjiang Pavilion.

The assistant director rubbed his hands and said, “I’m lucky to be here for a meal, all thanks to Miss Si.”

He decided to reserve any good opportunities for Si Fuqing in the future.

Shang Lu and Feng San looked displeased.

“Hold on,” Si Fuqing raised her hand, signaling the waiter to add another seat beside her. “Someone else is coming, my younger brother. He’ll be here soon..”
