Chapter 535: Xi Sister Meng Ze officially announces joining 'I Am a Singer' again!

The news of March Sky's disbandment was just an interlude for Jin Li.

It was making a huge noise on the internet, but in real life, not many people were discussing it.

Jin Li had been taking exams for the past three days.

She had originally planned to live-stream solving problems every night during the exams.

But after one live stream, fans left comments saying she was putting too much pressure on everyone.

Originally, everyone wasn't that nervous, but they were made a bit tense by her desperate drive to study, always reading books, afraid they wouldn't know how to do the questions tomorrow.

Jin Li looked at the comments and said with a wry smile: "Buck up! You still have to take the college entrance exam later. This academic ability test is just a very small test."

But she thought about it again; many netizens in the live stream room had been away from campus for a long time, so it was inevitable they would be nervous and excited.

So she said: "Then I won't solve problems these few nights. I'll come back to live-stream studying the day after the exams end. You all must cheer up!"

Jin Li made a heart shape at the camera, sincerely hoping the netizens could take a brand-new step.

The three days of exam time flew by.

Even Jin Li, who was confident, felt a sense of relief the moment she walked out of the exam room.

Finally over!

She rarely sent a message in the Pink Girl group, wanting to invite everyone to meet up; those without schedules could come to the large flat she rented to have fun.

Strangely, Xi Sister Meng Ze and Qi Guan Mingzhu, who were usually quite free, didn't respond, as they were busy with schedules.

And Yu Lina, who was always filming, and Gong Zitong, who recorded variety shows 367 days out of 365, actually had no schedules recently.

NANA: 【I didn't join a crew this month. I suddenly don't want to act in idol dramas. Although my mentality is still young, more and more newcomers are pouring in, so I'm on vacation this month.】

Tongtong: 【I happen to be on annual leave. I'm flying abroad this afternoon. Since Jin Li spoke up, I definitely have to come to your place. I just canceled my flight!】

Jin Li: 【Haven't seen you all for a long time. I'm so looking forward to Tongtong's cooking, *slurp slurp*—】

NANA: 【Don't say it. Just thinking about it makes me feel like drooling. Haven't eaten Tongtong's cooking for a long time. I must order a five-star difficulty dish!】

Among the Pink Girls, the captain Ji Qinglian had the strongest sense of responsibility and was the most motivated.

In the past, in the team, she was always the one holding a small whip to urge her teammates to work hard.

Qi Guan Mingzhu had a proud personality, her family was all abroad, and she grew up abroad since she was a child. She looked hard to serve, but she was actually the most soft-hearted and the most protective of her own.

If the people around her were exploited by the company, she really dared to confront senior management and leak news to the paparazzi.

Xi Sister Meng Ze served as the vocalist, singing many high-pitched parts, and was also recognized as having a good voice in the group.

NANA had a relatively gentle personality and was a girl at heart.

Although Xi Sister Meng Ze loved watching girl comics, she really didn't have as much of a girl's heart as NANA. Others just imagined it in their minds, but NANA could take action, filming many idol dramas and bringing fantasy into reality.

Tongtong, that is, Gong Zitong, loved all kinds of outdoor sports and high-intensity exercise.

She had loved nature since she was a child. Although she became an artist after growing up, she specifically managed an outdoor variety show, constantly talking to nature.

Among the members, Tongtong had the best physical fitness, the darkest skin, and a wild, primitive beauty all over her body.

At the same time, Tongtong was also the one with the best cooking skills among all the members.

Don't look at her recording outdoor variety shows; under limited conditions, she wasn't particular about eating, but as long as you gave her a kitchen and some ingredients.

She could turn ordinary ingredients into top-tier delicacies!

Not only that, she could handle various high-end ingredients with ease.

Everyone suspected that Tongtong had such good cooking skills because it must be a family tradition. They had asked who her parents were, but she never revealed it.

Full of mystery.

Jin Li lay in the large flat waiting for her friends, not forgetting to send condolences to Gu Cheng.

【How are you recently? Can you handle the busyness?】

Gu Cheng replied quickly: 【Lying in the villa every day, so idle I'm picking at my feet. The captain is very unhappy seeing Chen Lin wasting his life, saying he's eaten himself fat these few days, his muscles are about to go soft, so he specifically pulled him up to exercise today.】

Gu Cheng sent a recording.

Jin Li opened it curiously and could hear Chen Lin's miserable howling.

She couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy.

Every successful group inevitably has a captain who is strict with themselves.

An unchangeable truth.

She immediately forwarded this voice message to Qi Guan Mingzhu. She remembered that Pearl had a good relationship with Chen Lin, giving Pearl a reason to "mock" Chen Lin.

As for Tian Ding Entertainment and what the team would do in the future, Jin Li didn't ask, and Gu Cheng didn't take the initiative to say.

They all had one thought in their hearts: everything had to wait until June for the dust to settle.

Before reaching that date, saying anything more was useless; it was all weighing and gambling.

Until Yu Lina and Gong Zitong arrived at Jin Li's large flat, no one else in the group had replied to Jin Li. It seemed they were still busy with schedules.

Jin Li found it strange.

"Sister Meng Meng and Pearl don't have heavy schedule tasks at Dawn Entertainment. They shouldn't be unable to check their phones for four or five hours!"

Gong Zitong looked at the time: "Don't wait for them. Let's go out and buy ingredients. There are several pretty good fresh food supermarkets nearby."

Yu Lina responded immediately: "I want to eat seafood, king crab! Lobster!"

Gong Zitong laughed: "Are you sure? The best way to handle seafood is to restore its original flavor. Steaming is the best. If you really want to eat it, I'll make it for you. Doing it this way also saves—"

Jin Li and Gong Zitong said in unison: "Forget it then!"

They wanted to see Gong Zitong show off her skills, not just simple steaming.

Although all three wore masks and hats, the nearby business district was a relatively high-end one, and many wealthy people lived there, so the foot traffic wasn't large, but it wasn't small either.

So the three were still recognized by fans.

It was just that after being recognized, the fans only made excited sounds in a low voice and didn't keep following them, nor did they insist on taking photos or getting autographs.

A fan met them, just stunned for three seconds, then quickly reacted, jumping up and down happily.

She tried her best to suppress her voice and said: "Are you Pink Girls?"

The three of Jin Li shook their heads in unison.

This was a shopping mall; if they really admitted it, there would be trouble.

As a result, the fan said with a knowing look: "Don't shake your heads. I can recognize your figures just by looking at your backs. After all, I'm an old fan who has followed you for seven years."

Jin Li and the others:...

The fan looked at them with maternal love and said: "You should buy more things to eat. Don't pursue being white, young, and thin. This aesthetic is not good. You must protect your bodies. Being healthy is better than anything."

"And you, Jin Li." The fan turned to look at her, emphasizing: "You need to eat more. Every time I see you active on the screen, I'm very worried. How can you look so thin and weak!"

"Seeing you all shopping together, I'm really happy. My daughter is just like you, all cute!"

Jin Li and the others' expressions changed slightly. It was actually a mom fan.

But this fan looked very young!

Jin Li couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "How old is your daughter?"

The fan said happily: "She was just born this year, not even a year old yet!"

Jin Li's eyes curved into a smile, revealing her crescent-like under-eye bags.

"Only one year old, so soon you know she'll look like us when she grows up?"

The fan said confidently: "I play your songs to the baby every day. Under the influence of art, she will definitely be as beautiful as you!"

Gong Zitong and Yu Lina couldn't help laughing. This mom was so cute.

It was a pity they didn't have paper and pens on hand, otherwise they would have wanted to give her daughter, who was still in swaddling clothes, a To-autograph, wishing her happiness every day, joy always present, and peace and safety.

When Jin Li and the others bought a pile of ingredients and went home, they received messages from Xi Sister Meng Ze and Qi Guan Mingzhu.

It turned out they felt very idle recently, so they got together and took a schedule that required a two-person activity, which had just ended.

Xi Sister Meng Ze: 【I told Sister Fang, but Sister Fang won't let us go T^T】

Qi Guan Mingzhu: 【If I had known I could taste Tongtong's cooking, I wouldn't have taken this schedule.】

Jin Li: 【You can hug each other and cry (snicker)】

After the ingredients were bought back, Gong Zitong immediately processed them, and Jin Li and Yu Lina didn't stay idle, helping in the kitchen.

Everyone chatted while working.

Yu Lina couldn't help but bring up acting: "I feel like I can't act in idol dramas anymore. Although my skin is well-maintained, the audience is tired of watching them."

Gong Zitong: "You're only 31, no need to refuse so anxiously."

Jin Li thought for a moment and nodded.

That's true. In the circle, many people take campus plays to act at 27 or 28, play supporting roles at 31 or 32, and become late bloomers at 35 to 40, carrying the lead.

From the perspective of an actor's path, 30 is also an age where one can play a young girl.

Many good-looking actors are actually over 30, but their faces look young, and they always feel like they haven't been out of school for long.

This is an innate advantage!

Some people grow more crooked as they grow, while others grow up one-to-one compared to their childhood faces. I don't know what's going on.

Yu Lina sighed: "The idol dramas I starred in didn't make a splash, and the quotes are getting lower year by year. At first, I could find popular male actors as partners, but now I'm bringing newcomers instead."

"Sometimes I think, it's better to act in serious dramas, or just go be the mom of an idol drama heroine!"

Jin Li looked at Yu Lina and shook her head: "You're a bit too young to be a mom at this age. You can't give birth to such big daughters and sons!"

Yu Lina spread her hands: "That's why I feel there's a crisis everywhere. I can't interpret young roles as well as young people, and I can't compete with older actors for middle-aged and elderly roles. I feel like I can't film anymore."

Gong Zitong suddenly said: "It's not that you can't film, but don't be obsessed with idol dramas. Can't you film some urban elite dramas?"

"Urban elite dramas?" Yu Lina murmured.

Jin Li's eyes lit up: "Yes, this is good. You are at the age of struggle. Go act in workplace dramas. Maybe there will be other surprises. It's best to date a few more male leads and play with every man. Isn't that also a girl's heart?"

Yu Lina laughed: "You don't call this a girl's heart; you call this a queen's heart!"

A man's wardrobe (men are like clothes), a woman's wardrobe (men are like clothes), see who can outdo whom.

After everyone finished eating and was chatting in the living room, Jin Li saw a push notification on her phone.

Only then did she know why Xi Sister Meng Ze was so busy.

She decided to participate in this year's "I Am a Singer"!

The official program team of "I Am a Singer" officially announced this news, and Xi Sister Meng Ze quickly forwarded it, sending four words:

【I'm here again! (o゜▽゜)o☆】

Netizens were deeply impressed by Xi Sister Meng Ze's stage performance the year before last. As soon as the news was announced, it rushed to the hot search, causing a discussion across the entire internet.

【Is she trying to make us cry again this time?】

【Can we finally hear a normal song list?】

【Xi Sister Meng Ze has joined, wishing xxx joins too!】

Jin Li knew that after seeing this news, she called Xi Sister Meng Ze, always feeling that her participation in this program was a bit strange.

Sister Meng Meng was a very decisive person and wouldn't wrong herself by participating in a program she didn't like.

Participating in this program before was to break through herself and make an attempt, and at the same time, the program's fame was also great.

But over the past two years, her popularity hadn't declined, and the variety shows she participated in were more at will. The fame of the program wasn't the primary consideration; rather, recording it happily was more important.

Soon, Xi Sister Meng Ze picked up the phone.

Jin Li asked straight to the point: "How did you think of taking on the variety show 'I Am a Singer'? Didn't you say the program team had 800 schemes and was busy fighting with singers every day?"

Xi Sister Meng Ze was sitting in the conference room of Dawn Entertainment, with Qi Guan Mingzhu beside her and Sui Lingfang opposite her.

Everyone was sitting together, discussing joint schedule activities.

Jin Li had been in a window period for the past few months, needing to focus on exams. Sister Fang had cleared her schedule and specifically brought Xi Sister Meng Ze and Qi Guan Mingzhu.

Sister Fang wanted to imitate Tian Ding Entertainment and have them participate in joint schedules.

Before, when Qi Guan Mingzhu and Ji Qinglian ran schedules together, Tian Ding Entertainment didn't know how much money they had made, and Dawn Entertainment also wanted to give it a try.

It just so happened that Qi Guan Mingzhu had experience and could provide some views and insights in return.

Hearing Jin Li's question, Xi Sister Meng Ze hurriedly made a 'shh' gesture to everyone.

The room instantly became quiet.

Xi Sister Meng Ze said as if nothing happened: "Oh, just this matter!"

"The program team offered very good conditions to invite me this year, the schedule fee has risen a lot, and plus Sister Fang said that if I participate in this program, I can fill up the KPI for the second half of the year, so I can lie flat this year, so I decided to participate."

Jin Li: "If you don't like it, don't force yourself."

Xi Sister Meng Ze smiled: "There's nothing like or dislike. It's all singing; it's just a matter of where you're singing."

"The stage of 'I Am a Singer' is very large, solemn and dignified. I just don't like this atmosphere, but it doesn't mean this program isn't excellent. It just so happens I have many songs I want to sing, and I want to sing them out through this program."

Why did "I Am a Singer" have so much negative news, yet so many stars were still willing to participate?

That was because the program team also gave singers great freedom.

The program team never interfered with singers choosing songs!

Whatever song a singer wants to sing, they sing!

Success is you, failure is also you. On the live stage, everything depends on strength.

And as for the fighting outside of singing, Xi Sister Meng Ze felt that ignoring it was fine; anyway, she wasn't aiming for the championship.

Xi Sister Meng Ze said: "Jin Li, I really want to participate, for the sake of performance."

After much persuasion, she finally appeased Jin Li.

After Xi Sister Meng Ze hung up the phone, she wiped her forehead, actually breaking out in a cold sweat.

Jin Li was simply too sharp! ===== CHAPTER 536 =====
