Chapter 418: Stunning Lead Singer & Cool Rapper 03
A loud bang finally made Light's five members notice the doorway.
Their captain Deng Jiaran let out an 'aiya', put down the guitar he was holding, but showed no trace of embarrassment.
"How come you senior brothers are here? Didn't Jie-ge tell you?"
The person he was referring to was Liu Jie, the shared agent of the two teams.
Ren Pingsheng still had some sense, grabbing the nearly berserk Song Xing, "What are you saying?"
"Oh, it seems he really didn't say anything; maybe he was too busy and didn't have time."
Deng Jiaran chuckled twice, rested his elbow on a teammate's shoulder, "Our team's schedule is packed, we need many practice spots, so the company gave us your training room; from now on we'll treat it as a music classroom."
He said it lightly, as if he didn't think occupying someone else's training room was wrong.
"Yeah, Ren senior brother," said Light's member He Lewei, feigning advice but actually boasting, "Anyway, your team has no stages lately, so you might as well lend us your training."
Yu Jinzhou and Jin Chen stood at the back, hearing their conversation, Jin Chen's face grew increasingly grim.
{Host, don't get angry—I've already recorded all of this footage! }
{Hmm, by the way, check Song Xing Entertainment's accounts. }
{Understood. }
Wen Yu listened, his face alternating between pale and flushed; just as he was about to continue arguing, footsteps sounded in the hallway.
Everyone looked over.
It was their agent, Liu Jie.
Seeing everyone gathered here, Liu Jie feared something might happen to Light, so he hurried over.
"What are you doing, what are you doing, all gathered here doing what?!"
Wen Yu immediately said, "Jie-ge, you want to give our training room to Light? Why didn't you consult me?"
Liu Jie's face flushed with embarrassment for a moment, "Oh dear, I forgot."
He quickly regained his composure, pretending to be friendly as he explained to Valuri's members, "You haven't had any stages lately, so just borrow it for now."
Again, those same words.
Yu Jinzhou abruptly interjected, his voice icy, "Valuri has no stage—doesn't the company know best why?"
He lifted his gaze, though the corners of his mouth curled in a smile, his eyes were clear and cold: "How is it that Light has been sailing smoothly, and why is that?"
As soon as he spoke, the faces of all Light members instantly turned grim.
"Yu Jinzhou! Shut up!" Liu Jie's face darkened.
Yu Shenshen's tone carried some reproach: "Jinzhou, what are you saying? It's just a training room—don't hurt the bond between our two teams."
Jin Chen suddenly clicked his tongue, poked Yu Jinzhou's arm, "You two are close?"
Yu Jinzhou shook his head: "Not really."
What's there to get close to with a white-eyed wolf?
"Then that's fine."
Jin Chen was about to step forward when Yu Jinzhou seemed to see his intent and quickly grabbed him.
"Don't be impulsive, don't fight in the company."
"... Oh." Jin Chen really stayed still, letting his wife take his hand.
His other hand still needed to be slipped into his pocket.
The argument up front continued, and even Wen Yu, the team member with the best temper, insisted on reasoning.
They absolutely could not yield on this matter.
In the end, a relatively senior teacher happened to come by and put a stop to the farce.
"Did Song Xing Entertainment invite me just to watch the argument?"
Chenli stood in the doorway, wearing a suit and knee-length skirt, her tone unpleasant, arms crossed, face stern.
"Sister Chenli, you've come!... Sorry, it was hard enough to get you to give a lesson, yet these Valuri folks messed it up."
Liu Jie instantly changed his expression, offering an apologetic smile.
"I think the one causing the disturbance is someone else."
Chenli said coldly, "I agreed to your company's request for three lessons because I heard Yu Jinzhou would be among the trainees."
She is a well-known music producer in the industry, having taught many singers who are now popular across the music scene; nowadays she rarely takes on students, doing so only according to fate and preference.
This time, the higher-ups invited him over, and Liu Jie naturally assumed he was to be Light's teacher—a belief shared by Light's members.
After all, their lead singer Yu Shenshen had posted an a cappella video on Weibo, which Teacher Chenli had even liked!
Yu Jinzhou widened his eyes in surprise, Jin Chen pushed him forward a step, drawing everyone's gaze; he could only go along and introduce himself.
"Hello, Teacher Chen, I'm Yu Jinzhou."
"I know you," Chenli said, her tone softening, "I saw your guest performance at a music festival before; your voice is quite distinctive."
Having his ability praised by a professional, Yu Jinzhou felt extremely pleased, unconsciously pressing his lips into a faint smile: "Thank you, Teacher."
This interlude was something no one had anticipated.
Yu Shenshen, who had been full of anticipation, stepped forward unwillingly, "Teacher Chen, you came today to teach Light, didn't you? You even liked my music on Weibo before."
Chenli frowned, "Who are you? What music?"
"I'm Yu Shenshen; you liked my new song 'The Praiser' a few days ago, didn't you get it wrong?"
"... I liked it?" Seeing him insist, Chenli cut to the chase: "I think I might have a vague impression, but I forwarded that song to my son so he wouldn't write more tasteless, melody-less pop songs."
"As for the like, it might have been an accidental tap when sharing."
Yu Shenshen was left speechless by those words, instantly feeling humiliated.
Why is it that every time I'm compared to Yu Jinzhou, I end up utterly defeated!
The other Light members also felt embarrassed—after all, both teams are here, one lead singer praised, the other scolded as worthless; isn't that just slapping them in the face!
Liu Jie secretly used his phone to confirm with the person above, only then realizing that the company's plan was actually to have Chen Li come to the company first, then, using Valuri's absence from the practice room as an excuse, have her teach Light.
Seeing this text, he couldn't help but regret it; if he had known earlier, he would have called Wen Yu today and found any excuse to keep them from coming to the company!
Jin Chen silently observed everything; this part wasn't in the original plot, and Yu Shenshen, having received guidance from Chen Li before, gained another batch of fans on Weibo.
Looks like this is also stealing his wife's—how shameless.
However, there is still one problem.
Chen Li and the cheap father of the original self, who is far overseas, are acquainted.
Jin Chen silently stepped back half a step, not wanting to catch up with Chen Li in this situation.
Liu Jie suddenly walked back with an embarrassed smile, handing Chen Li a phone that was on the call screen.
She glanced at the fawning Liu Jie, picked up the phone, and turned to answer it.
Jin Chen glanced at the dispirited Light five-member group, suddenly let out a cold laugh, and put his arm around Yu Jinzhou's shoulder.
He spoke in a voice loud enough for everyone to hear.
"You're amazing; they're all trash."
Light everyone: "……" They can hear it, thanks.
Yu Jinzhou was again drawn attention by the somewhat strong sandalwood scent, he raised his eyes and looked at Jin Chen, his tone sincere.
"Thanks for the praise, Yaoer; it would be even better if you didn't draw hatred toward me."
"Jin Chen: "……""
He lowered his eyes in resentment, lips tightly shut.
