C88 The Captain and the Lead Singer
Just as Qin Lang and Peng Meng were stunned, Qin Lang's WeChat rang. He took it out and saw that it was a video call from Zhong Yu.
Qin Lang looked at Peng Meng nervously and picked up the video call.
Zhong Yu's cute appearance appeared on the screen of the phone. She had just finished packing in Shanghai and could not wait to send a video call to Qin Lang.
"Qin Lang, where are you?" On the screen, Zhong Yu smiled sweetly.
"I'm eating in the canteen. Look, I'm eating fried noodles." Qin Lang patted the plate of fried noodles on the table.
"Hey, why are there two pairs of chopsticks?" Zhong Yu asked curiously.
"Oh..." A moment of panic flashed across Qin Lang's face, and then he smiled easily. "Just now, I accidentally dropped the chopsticks on the ground and changed into a new pair."
Peng Meng's eyes trembled when she saw Qin Lang lying to the phone screen.
"Be careful." Zhong Yu did not take it seriously. She took a picture of her surroundings. "Look, this is the practice room that Sister Jing found for us. Before going to participate in the talent show, we were all training here."
"Oh, it looks like the environment is pretty good." Qin Lang asked again with concern, "Sister Chen said that you guys need to stay in Shanghai for a few days. Do you really not need me to go to Shanghai to accompany you?"
"About a week. I said you don't need to come. If you come, I will take care of you instead," Zhong Yu said jokingly.
"Alright. Take good care of yourself in Shanghai. If you come back and see that you are sick, just wait." Qin Lang said dotingly.
After saying a few more words to Qin Lang, Zhong Yu hung up the phone.
"You love your girlfriend very much," Peng Meng said with a smile.
"Yes, so you should understand, right?" After the video call with Zhong Yu, Qin Lang's heart became firm again. He had to draw a clear line with Peng Meng as soon as possible. At this time, Qin Lang's subconscious was not afraid that Peng Meng would sink deeper and deeper. He was afraid that he would fall in love with Peng Meng.
"I understand, but I will still pursue you. I have said it before. Perhaps after a period of time, you will realize... I am the one who is most compatible with you. "Peng Meng did not avoid reality and did not hide her feelings for Qin Lang.
Peng Meng made Qin Lang speechless.
Qin Lang suddenly felt a little angry. Peng Meng was deliberately ruining his relationship with Zhong Yu.
Qin Lang looked at Peng Meng with slight dissatisfaction and got up to leave the canteen.
Peng Meng still had a faint smile on her face. Her eyes slowly shifted to the plate of fried noodles on the table. She picked up the chopsticks and gently ate it. She felt a little sad in her heart.
At this time, in a practice room in Shanghai.
Chen Jingyi called Zhong Yu and the rest together. Ever since the five girls stepped onto Shanghai, their hearts were filled with faint excitement.
Because the reason why they came to Dream Singing Company to be artists was to become famous and earn money. Now that they came to Shanghai to participate in the talent show, it could be considered that they had officially stepped into the acting circle. Naturally, they attached great importance to this trip to Shanghai and were looking forward to it.
"Everyone is in a very good mental state. I hope that everyone will stay for a few days. Maintain this kind of mental state all the time until we successfully participate in this talent show. "Standing in front of Zhong Yu and the others, Chen Jingyi was the first to confirm their attitude.
"You guys also know that Hello Ladies is currently the most popular talent show on the Internet. Furthermore, the sponsor of Hello is Hee Yuchen, the talent show in Shanghai. He specially invited four superstars, Zhou Jellen, Xie Tingfeng, Rong Zu'er, and Zhang Liangying, as judges. They are very popular in the entertainment industry... "
Hee Yuchen was a famous second generation in the country. Although his reputation was not as good as Wang Sicong's, in terms of the results and wealth that the two of them had created with their own hands, Hee Yuchen even surpassed Wang Sicong.
Zhong Yu and the others understood what Chen Jingyi said on the Internet.
Yan Ni and the other two had been holding back ever since they got off the plane. They had to show off their abilities on this talent show and strive to become famous with one shot!
Yan Ni and the rest were drawing exquisite makeup. They felt that this talent show with such high attention might even have reporters interviewing them during the collective training. They wanted to show off their best selves in front of the reporters.
When she heard Chen Jingyi speak, Yan Ni's fingers lightly wrapped around her hair. In her mind, she imagined the scene when she was interviewed and how to attract their attention in front of the judges.
... "Now that I am about to debut, it is time to decide on the captain and lead singer of our Dream Chasing Girl Group..."
When she heard this, Yan Ni's attention was immediately pulled back and the rest of the people's gazes were also focused on Chen Jingyi's face.
The identity of the team leader was really too important. Under normal circumstances, during the interview, the captain would speak on behalf of the team. The captain must be the most famous person among most of the fans. The captain would be the lead singer when he came down. When singing, most of the audience's attention was drawn away by the lead singer.
Yan Ni had always wanted these two positions. At the same time, she also felt that with her usual performance, she was the best candidate for these two positions. Her current concern was whether Chen Jingyi would let her take these two positions.
"After these few days of joint training, regarding each other's abilities, there must be a benchmark in your hearts. Today's result was decided by me and your teachers. I hope that all of you will have a correct understanding of the result and not be chosen. It doesn't mean that your abilities are lacking, but that the other party is more suitable for this position. All of our efforts are for the sake of the entire guild..."
Yan Ni's eyes lit up as she looked at Chen Jingyi. Sister Chen was indeed worthy of being the leader. If she were to directly announce that I am the leader, the others would definitely feel uncomfortable in their hearts. This was to give them a precautionary measure and say something nice to comfort them. This way, it won't be too ugly and make them wholeheartedly serve as a foil to me. In case I say good things to them next, it will make me a lot less worried. Sister Chen was thinking for my sake.
"Cough cough..." Chen Jingyi cleared her throat. "After the decision of the few teachers and I, the submale will be the captain, and Zhong Yu will be the lead singer..."
Uh... Yan Ni's smile froze on her face. She could not react in time. What did Sister Chen say just now? Guo Yanan was the captain, and Zhong Yu was the lead singer. She was nothing.
This was too unfair.
"Sister Chen, did you say something wrong? They... I..." Yan Ni looked at Guo Yanan and Zhong Yu in disbelief.
Chen Jingyi sighed softly. She knew Yan Ni would have doubts about their decision, so she deliberately said those words earlier.
"Yan Ni, listen to me. Sub men are the oldest and most stable among you, and she was the host when she was in college. She has strong ability to adapt to situations on the spot..."
"I admit to being a sub-male."
Chen Jingyi's gaze was tightly locked onto Zhong Yu's face. "But why did you let her take up the role of the lead singer? Sister Chen, in terms of singing skills, musical attainment, and music heritage. Which part of me did not completely outshine her? Why was it her and not me?"
" Yan Ni, what kind of attitude is this? Is it because you think that I am not fair with all the teachers? " Chen Jingyi was very dissatisfied with Yan Ni's openly questioning attitude. "Do you think that you are the lead singer? Alright, sing by yourself. The others will not accompany you. You can go and participate alone on the day of the talent show!"
"Sister Chen, I was wrong." Yan Ni quickly admitted her mistake to Chen Jingyi. Chen Jingyi was their manager. If she did not listen to her, she had the right to punish Yan Ni. It was as if she was hiding, controlling the sky, and even changing people.
Chen Jingyi hatefully looked at Yan Ni. She had just said that everything was for the sake of the entire team. Obviously, Yan Ni did not take her words into account.
"Your singing is very good but it is not as recognizable as Zhong Yu's voice. Furthermore, Zhong Yu dancing is also slightly better than you. Looking at the overall situation, I only decided with the few teachers to let Zhong Yu be the lead singer." Chen Jingyi said earnestly to Yan Ni. She was the one who discovered Zhong Yu and the rest. How could Chen Jingyi be biased towards one another, "Yan Ni, the lead singer is just a name. As long as you have the ability. I hope that you and all of you will remember one thing. You are a whole..."
"I know, Sister Chen." Yan Ni lowered her head towards Chen Jingyi but her heart was still very unwilling.
"It is good that you know your mistakes." Chen Jingyi smiled and touched Yan Ni's face. She then said a few more words to them. Finally, she clapped her hands, "Alright, I have finished what I needed to say. Now everyone can continue to practice. There is really not much time left for us."
Zhong Yu and the rest began to practice with the teacher again. Chen Jingyi watched from the side for a while before going out to do something.
At nine o'clock in the evening.
Zhong Yu and the rest finally finished their practice and they started to walk out of the practice room.
"Don't think that you're amazing just because you become the lead singer. When you're on stage, the judges and the audience might not be able to see who they like!" Yan Ni walked together with Gong Jiao and Zhang Xiaoya. When she passed by Zhong Yu, she glanced at her with disdain.
Zhong Yu quietly looked at Yan Ni. This was clearly the decision made by Sister Chen and the few teachers. Why did Yan Ni want to put the blame on her?
"Little slut, don't think that you dare to steal my limelight just because you are the lead singer. In front of me, you will forever be an insignificant grass. Do you know!? " Yan Ni crossed her arms and walked in front of Zhong Yu with a malicious gaze. She said darkly.
Zhong Yu only looked at her with some grievance.
"Look at this little slut, she was scared silly by me!" Yan Ni pushed Zhong Yu and smiled complacently. She walked out of the building where the practice room was with Gong Jiao and the other two.
"Beep, beep, beep." A yellow Porsche slowly stopped in front of Yan Ni and the door opened. Yan Ni's boyfriend, Tang Bo, who was dressed like a hip-hop, got out of the car. He also liked music. This time, he specially came from Jinling to accompany Yan Ni.
"My dear, you're here." Yan Ni walked in front of Tang Bo and kissed him.
"What's wrong, baby? Why do you look so unhappy?" Tang Bo pinched Yan Ni's cheek and asked.
"It's because of that bumpkin girl from our team. Sister Chen actually gave her the lead singer position. You have to know that I sing much better than her. I guess it must be this little slut who sang in private. She went to our teacher's room to do some dirty things. Otherwise, why would they choose her instead of me? " Yan Ni snorted and said angrily.
