Chapter 422: Stunning Lead Singer & Cool Rapper 07

Liu Jie led Light's five people out of the training room, and before leaving, he Stared at Wen Yu, meaning to let them wait.

With Chenli present today, Valuri can ignore company orders and act as it wishes; after class, they'll still have to let them have their way.

Wen Yu could obviously see his meaning, but merely glanced away lightly, not intending to respond.

The company isn't responsible—does it not even allow them to seek their own way out?

"Alright, everyone come over and sit."

Chenli greeted a few people over; when alone with students, her stern expression softened considerably.

"After just going through a round of battle, I have a rough idea of your abilities; I'm glad that even without a stage or exposure, you haven't given up training."

She opened the piano lid, her fingertips brushed the white keys, her tone somewhat wistful: "Although what that little kid from Light said was crude, it made sense— in the entertainment industry, only being popular counts as real strength."

Chenli didn't add anything else; some points are best left at that.

In this lesson, all five listened attentively, especially Song Xing, who was relatively weak in vocals, putting in twelvefold effort.

Some things are better left uncompared, but now they've discovered that Light, which snatched resources, actually has this strength; each person harbors a stubborn, unwilling-to-lose spirit.

Chenli's teaching was also enjoyable.

Finally, the class summary gave many specific suggestions.

"Your biggest problem now is that when singing in unison, there are gaps in breath; although this might be covered by the accompaniment on stage, if a cappella is ever needed, this weakness will be exposed."

"What a team needs most is not acting alone, but being able to cooperate, to bring out each other's strengths while complementing one another."

Wen Yu tugged at the hands on both sides, and the five bent together.

"Thank you, teacher."

"Class dismissed, Jin Chen, come here a moment; I have something to ask you."

After Chenli's click-clack heels left the training room, Wen Yu looked strangely at Jin Chen: "Chen'er, aren't you coming over?"

Jin Chen's mouth twitched slightly, he rubbed his nose, "I don't want to go," his tone justified.

Wen Yu laughed angrily, gave a hey, "Jinzhou, manage him."

Yu Jinzhou, who had been looking down at the sheet music, looked up blankly: "Ah?"

After a couple seconds, he turned his gaze to Jin Chen, tone tentative: "Then you should go quickly?"

"... Oh."

Jin Chen coolly slipped his hands into his pockets and left the training room.

Song Xing and Ren Pingsheng exchanged a glance, then both looked at Yu Jinzhou, widening their eyes.

"No, why is Yaoer now listening to Jinzhou?" Song Xing was very puzzled.

"I also want to know." Wen Yu's tone was Youyou: "Jinzhou, you two couldn't have something going on, could you?"

"What situation? I don't know."

Yu Jinzhou shook his head blankly, while seriously looking at the two sheets music Chenli gave, feeling their back-and-forth was especially noisy, he silently covered his ears.

Outside the training room.

Jin Chen was zoning out listening to Chenli's nagging lecture, when suddenly he heard the 0731 report.

【Host! Light's people posted on Weibo playing the victim, relying on Chenli usually not managing Weibo fan arguments, guiding fans to think you stole their teacher and lessons.】

【The stuff filmed this afternoon, should we post it now?】

【No need, the person best suited to handle this right now is only Chenli.】

Jin Chen lazily took out his earplugs, facing Chenli's shocked and angry gaze, put them in his pocket: "Aunt Chen, I understand all you said and will think it over carefully."

Chenli huffed: "If you heard what I said, you'd understand."

"There's something I need your help with." Jin Chen said in a soft tone, acting cute: "Light is badmouthing me on Weibo, saying Valur stole their lessons."

"There's still this kind of thing..." Chenli's face turned cold, she immediately pulled out her phone to check hot searches.

"Yeah," Jin Chen nodded, very sincere: "It's basically Valuri's only hot search this year."

Chenli: "..." Because getting on hot search for this kind of thing, there's no reason not to be proud!

"Alright, I'll handle it; later I'll go find Gou Siwen—do you want me to pull you out separately to develop? Going the rapper route would be much smoother than the idol path."

"No." Jin Chen pursed his lips, refusing: "I won't quit the team."

"Please have Gou Siwen return the resources that Valuri ought to have to us."

Chenli: "Not let your dad step in?"

"He ignores me."

Jin Chen lowered his gaze, his whole aura instantly dropped: "Anyway, they're all busy."

"Saying it is useless."

Thinking of his two friends who have long been aerial performers, Chenli sighed, indeed feeling sorry for this kid.

"Alright, I'll go say that; go rest now."

She patted Jin Chen's shoulder and walked toward the elevator.

Jin Chen turned and went back to the classroom.

In the training room, aside from Yu Jinzhou still studying the sheet music, the other three had already consciously started dancing practice; they usually keep away from phones during training, so they didn't know about the Weibo situation.

Seeing Jin Chen walk in with his head down, also pulling up his hood, although his expression couldn't be seen, everyone could sense his current low spirits.

Ren Pingsheng first stopped his motion, gestured to Wen Yu with a chin lift, indicating he should pay attention to Jin Chen's mood.

"Surely he won't be scolded by Teacher Chen?"

Song Xing inquired with his eyes.

Wen Yu shook his head, indicating he didn't know either.

The three watched Jin Chen, who usually sits in the corner sulking when unhappy, then walked straight to Yu Jinzhou and sat beside him without speaking.

Yu Jinzhou smelled sandalwood, his train of thought interrupted; as he lifted his head, he saw Jin Chen sitting silently, his raven-feather long lashes drooping slightly, lips tightly pressed.

He looked again at his three teammates, trying to figure out what was going on.

As his gaze swept over them, the three of Wen Yu shook their heads in unison.

Yu Jinzhou: "……"

He imitated Jin Chen's earlier motion, tapping his shoulder with his fingertips, his tone gentle.

"Did Teacher Chen scold you?"

Jin Chen shook his head, not knowing how to explain, and finally just made up an excuse.

"Check Weibo."

Look at Weibo?

Yu Jinzhou instinctively pulled out his phone from beside him and logged into Weibo with his alternate account.

A glaring entry hung on the hot-search list.

#Valuri Robbery

He froze for a moment, clicked in, and saw several posts from Light and his friends.

The three of Wen Yu also gathered around and read all the Weibo posts.

More helpless than Light's own Weibo were the remarks of the so-called "former fans"—now Light's true fans, the light points.

《Wa Tuan?... It's them, right? They're still bullying us Lai at the company! Shameless! 》

《!! Holy shit, that's outrageous—I actually used to like them, no wonder they've fallen into obscurity for a reason! 》
