Why don't you stay and eat with me, Sister Fang?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Jin Li had not sung during the rehearsal, she had expended considerable energy, and her face clearly showed fatigue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unwilling to distract Jin Li with the need to care for her, Sui Lingfang shook her head. \"No need. I still have business at the company. You rest well tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've already found out the date for the next rehearsal; it's in two days. We'll prepare properly then and not be so rushed as today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li smiled at her, her voice crisp and sweet. \"Okay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silently, she gave Sui Lingfang a mental thumbs-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To have uncovered the rehearsal schedule in just one afternoon proved that this agent was quite capable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant she could bypass Lian Baozhi and attend rehearsals independently, free from her control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly recalling something, Jin Li asked, \"Sister Fang, Lian Baozhi said she would yield the opening performance to me. What if she reneges at the last moment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sui Lingfang sneered. \"Then we sue. Compensation of one million! I specifically had the Legal Force add that clause. If Lian Baozhi really backs out, we'll happily accept that money!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li gave her a thumbs-up. \"Amazing, Sister Fang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the rehearsal ended, Lian Baozhi stayed directly on the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today marked the premiere of the variety show PICK~Next Diva; all mentors were required to reside on the island and forbidden from going out to prevent information leaks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mentor dormitories naturally differed from the trainee quarters; every mentor received a luxurious single room with amenities comparable to a five-star hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lian Baozhi's agent knocked on the door and entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the door opened, Lian Baozhi heard waves of shrill screaming from outside and frowned involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's that noise? So loud.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The agent replied, \"The trainee building is next door. I heard the March Sky boy group is coming tonight to film a floor-sweeping segment; they're recording right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lian Baozhi asked with interest, \"Is the March Sky boy group also staying in this mentor building?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The agent shook his head. \"Male and female mentors are housed separately; they are staying in the other building.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disappointment was evident on Lian Baozhi's face. Recalling what she had witnessed earlier, her agent quickly changed the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've contacted the staff in Rehearsal Room 5 and, after considerable effort, managed to pry out Jin Li's rehearsal content.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only because Jin Li was merely a second-tier celebrity that prying information from someone had been so easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had it been first-tier female stars like Ji Qinglian or Qiu Qiwen, the staff would have said nothing unless prepared to resign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lian Baozhi hurriedly asked, \"What program is she preparing? Singing and dancing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The agent said gravely, \"He said Jin Li is rehearsing purely vocal content.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Purely singing?\" Lian Baozhi said incredulously, then burst out laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jin Li, oh Jin Li, you can't even seize an opportunity when it's handed to you. Haha. Pure singing? Let me tell you, with her vocal conditions, what song could she possibly sing well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li's vocal qualities were quite good by ordinary standards, distinct and characteristic—in one word: sweet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Add another word: soft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for a professional singer, a voice that is both sweet and soft is difficult to manage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This implies significant limitations in singing; one must choose the right songs to bring out the voice's unique qualities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the song choice is even slightly off, the result will absolutely be a disaster, the kind not even pitch correction can save.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for girl groups...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can a girl group's singing compare to that of a professional singer?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lian Baozhi now felt completely unconcerned about Jin Li posing any threat; although she herself was not a professional singer, she believed her singing ability surpassed Jin Li's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could hardly wait to begin recording the second episode immediately!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating and resting briefly, Jin Li felt slightly dizzy and heavy-headed, symptoms resembling a cold or fever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she dared not sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew what state her body would be in tomorrow if she truly fell asleep now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, her visit to burn incense had been photographed by passersby, and Sister Fang had repeatedly instructed her not to go out these past few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no other choice, Jin Li forced herself to perk up and solve practice problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She started her live stream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding-dong, the \"Jin Li Live Room\" you follow has gone live~]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fans, gossip-loving netizens, and casual viewers flooded into the live room together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After navigating the chaos of the first few minutes since the stream went live, Jin Li patted her cheeks, forcibly rallied her spirits, and told the camera with an air of nonchalance, \"I'm going to study now; feel free to do whatever you like.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ahhh, Baby Li is so cool, so awesome, so sweet!
