Chapter 188: Her Home

Ke Ming, the General Director of "King of Love Songs," has been suffering from insomnia these past few days.

The rumors on the internet and the rhythm being driven by various Win Hao have left Ke Ming stunned.

This balding man has nothing but "???" in his mind regarding the Win Hao.

"Is this how things are developing?"

"Why is it different from what I know?"

He is very clear that someone must be stirring up trouble behind the scenes.

Yet he has no intention of coming forward to say anything, nor does he intend to leak any spoilers about the show.

"Isn't the hype coming just like this!" he felt a secret thrill in his heart.

Of course, there are also netizens on the internet speculating that the "King of Love Songs" production team is playing a "bait-and-switch" game, and that these reports might have been marketed by people sent by the production team.

Ke Ming feels very wronged.

Although everyone knows that variety show directors are the most fond of stirring up trouble among all types of directors.

Ke Ming does indeed have his own arrangements, and he also planned to create some new topics before the Semi-finals. But before I even took action, the whole city was already in an uproar!

This forced him to change his plans and just go with the flow.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter; as long as the ratings explode, everything is easy to talk about." Ke Ming's mindset is still quite good.

"As long as Xu Chujing does indeed appear on the stage in the end, then it is not deceiving the netizens," Ke Ming thought to himself.

It's just that she isn't standing with your Heavenly King Zhao.

……..

……..

On the other side, our President Wang hesitated again and again, but in the end, he still couldn't resist the temptation.

Ever since the photo of him and Li Jie eating together was posted online by paparazzi, it ignited public opinion.

It is as if Xu Chujing being invited to participate in "King of Love Songs" and bringing a duet with Zhao Xueqin has already become a set-in-stone fact.

At the same time, those who mock and ridicule Luo Mo have also begun to pop up frequently.

"Hahaha, your own mentor is standing on the opposite side of you."

"Given Jing's character, she generally wouldn't step on others, no need for me to say more, right?"

"Laughing to death, how can this Luo Mo win? He became a hit from Jing's show, after all."

"I've long found Luo Mo unpleasant; screw him!"

"Look at how actively he interacts with Heavenly Queen Xu on weekdays; after licking until the end, he has nothing."

Who exactly wants to lick whom, they know nothing about.

The flame that had been suppressed in Wang Shisong's heart was hooked just like that.

Look, this isn't the rhythm being led by our Pineapple; it's the netizens and the Win Hao themselves who started it.

And what we are struggling with is—should we add more fuel to the fire?

He discussed it with the public relations team, and after thinking it over, they all felt that this matter would not cause much harm or impact to Pineapple, at the very least.

Luo Mo's reputation has always been very good, and he has no black spots; now that there is a rare opportunity to make baseless accusations, it would be a real pity if we didn't fan the flames.

"Get some people to covertly drive the rhythm, just keep spreading this matter, but don't go making up any fake dirt."

"The netizens will make things up themselves, they will edit, they will spread rumors, understand?"

The internet is full of hostility now, and there are many weirdos; the number of people who like to grab attention like street monkeys is countless, so there is no need for them to rack their own brains at all.

They only need to open a gap for the netizens, and they will charge in headlong with their keyboards.

Even if Xu Chujing refuses Pineapple's invitation in the end, it doesn't matter.

Talking about cooperation, it's impossible to reach an agreement every time.

When the time comes, just issue an announcement stating that both sides communicated actively and talked happily, but ultimately failed to cooperate due to some special reasons, and express deep regret—wouldn't that be fine?

Who knows, this announcement might even become a sharp sword pointed at Luo Mo!

The development of the situation, at this moment, suddenly became inexplicably... strange.

This made the people over at CILONG a bit unable to sit still, considering whether to enter the field at this moment to snatch the kill.

……..

……..

Luo Mo, who is at the center of the vortex, has also been very busy these past few days.

Because he has to prepare three new songs, the workload is not small.

He has already finalized the song for Sun Yi and Tong Shu to sing together, and the two of them started practicing yesterday.

As for Chen Shanqi's partner, it was finally decided to let Jiang Ningxi do it.

Because the voice of Shen Yinuo, this ceiling of pure desire, is on the sweeter side and doesn't really match the song Luo Mo prepared.

Besides the vocal timbre not matching, there are many other places that don't really match either.

On the contrary, Chen Shanqi and Jiang Ningxi singing together has a relatively higher compatibility.

After trying it a few times, the song was also finalized.

Now, only the duet between himself and Heavenly Queen Xu remains.

"The theme of the Semi-finals is 'Romance,' which actually just means singing mainstream love songs," Luo Mo said in his heart.

This topic is really simple; it's completely letting the singers play freely without imposing too many restrictions.

Luo Mo thought of three songs in total, and in order to express the importance he places on Xu Chujing, he thought he would let her decide which one to sing at the Semi-finals.

At 1:30 in the afternoon, Luo Mo left the Xinyu building early.

He is going to Xu Chujing's home in Shanghai today, which is Yucheng, opposite Xicheng where he lives.

Originally, according to the previous Promise, Heavenly Queen Xu intended to come to Xinyu once, and then go to Luo Mo's studio to take a look and visit, which had quite a feeling of a leader's inspection.

However, due to the high level of outside attention recently, it was best for the two of them to be more careful, so they finally decided to meet at home.

The layouts of the houses in Yucheng and Xicheng were similar; both were large, flat-floor apartments. After all, they were high-end, luxurious mansions built by the same real estate company, and together they formed the two characters for "Imperial Seal."

The house Xu Chujing purchased was 110 square meters larger than the one Luo Mo lived in, which was simply astonishing.

She had installed a recording studio directly in her home, fully equipped with facilities that were in no way inferior to those in the Xinyu Building.

Over these past few months, Luo Mo had actually already earned quite a lot of money.

Although he kept a large sum of money in a single bank card, withdrawing it from various income sources at a fixed ratio and never touching it, he had still transformed from a poor kid into a wealthy man.

As long as the total amount was large enough, even if one only took one-tenth of it, it was still an astonishing figure.

This made Luo Mo think: "Should I go to Run Jie and buy that house in Xicheng?"

He had already grown a bit accustomed to living there, and in his heart, he quite liked it.

Moreover, if it wasn't his own house, it was difficult to make major renovations. He had actually long wanted to set up a recording studio at home, but he didn't have a home in Shanghai...

After arriving at Yucheng, Luo Mo took the elevator to the Phoenix Floor of Building 9.

After pressing the doorbell, the Heavenly Queen opened the door for him.

Her upper body was wearing a creamy white long-sleeved shirt, and her lower body was wearing white straight-leg trousers; she was dressed all in white.

Because her own skin was snow-white and delicate, she could pull off the look without any issues.

Although the clothes were loose-fitting, one could still see the undulating curves on her body.

Plump, mature, and full, like wheat ears during the harvest season.

Looking at her, there was always a joy like that of an autumn harvest, feeling that this field was worth tilling.

"Come in," Xu Chujing said to Luo Mo.

Luo Mo nodded and entered the room to change his shoes.

He took a rough look at the decoration style of her home; it was the cozy kind.

With such a cozy style and such a large home, living alone was a bit of a waste.

"I don't live here often, but I happen to have some engagements in Shanghai recently, so I will be staying for a while," Xu Chujing said to Luo Mo.

Luo Mo nodded and glanced at the barefoot Heavenly Queen.

Xu Chujing seemed to have noticed his gaze, smiled, and said, "I don't like wearing shoes at home."

As she spoke, she asked again, "Water or juice?"

"Water, please," Luo Mo said.

Xu Chujing took out a glass bottle of mineral water and handed it to Luo Mo, took one for herself, and then led him toward the recording studio.

After sitting down, Luo Mo took out the laptop he had brought.

Xu Chujing also took the hair tie off her wrist, gathered her loose, slightly wavy long hair, and tied it up casually so it wouldn't interfere with her later when she lowered her head or tried singing.

It was clearly just a gesture of brushing back and tying up her hair, yet it completely captured Luo Mo's attention.

It was strange; some women were just like that, as if even their strands of hair radiated infinite charm.

After tying up her hair, she spoke: "Pineapple said the lyrics and music are already prepared."

"Oh?" Luo Mo was slightly stunned and said, "Has it already been sent to Jing to look at?"

If Wang Shisong knew that the lyrics and music were being sent to a rival for review, he would probably be furious.

One wonders if it would even shorten his life.

Xu Chujing shook her head and said, "No, I didn't let them send it over, and I had Li Jie explicitly reject the collaboration."

The trap had already been set, and the battle of wits had already begun, so there was no need to keep acting.

The preparation time for the Semi-finals was short, and Pineapple couldn't just keep waiting in vain, pinning all their hopes on Xu Chujing's answer and hanging themselves from this one tree.

"Do you want to see them? I mean their lyrics and music," Xu Chujing looked at Luo Mo and said, "I might be able to get them."

She turned slightly to the side, half-leaning on the sofa, looking both lazy and casual.

At the same time, she also rested her lower legs on the sofa, her two fair, delicate feet stacked together, which was particularly eye-catching.

Luo Mo met her gaze, smiled, and said, "There's really no need."

He knew Xu Chujing was just saying that casually.

She smiled, opened the glass bottle to take a sip of water, and said, "But I have to tell you in advance, this time, the lyrics and music are entirely handled by Yuan Hewen. If nothing goes wrong, I guess Zhao Xueqin's collaborator is likely to be Xu Lianying."

"Is that so?" Luo Mo's eyes narrowed slightly.

It was obvious that Cilong couldn't hold back in the end either.

Yuan Hewen was determined to shift the blame onto Huang Xishan and simply wasn't bringing him along this time.

As for Pineapple, in order to invite Cilong's top star Xu Lianying to be a Guest Singer, they would naturally agree to any conditions.

Xu Lianying was known as the "Queen of Love Songs," which was more than a level higher than Pineapple's "Heavenly Queen Gatekeeper," Chun Xiao.

A strong alliance between Zhao Xueqin and Xu Lianying was equivalent to Pineapple's top male star and Cilong's top female star performing together.

How could they lose? Ah! You tell me how they could lose!?

This kind of collaboration would be a "king bomb" even on the Spring Festival Gala.

Xu Chujing was still half-curled on the sofa, her eyes staring straight at Luo Mo from under long, thick eyelashes, and she suddenly said, "In these past few days, have you ever thought that I might really change camps halfway and collaborate with Pineapple?"

"No," Luo Mo shook his head directly.

He really hadn't thought about it at all.

At the same time, although he currently owed Xu Chujing a huge favor, he also had infinite confidence that he could repay it.

"What I can ultimately give you will definitely be more than anyone else," he said in his heart.

Thinking of this, Luo Mo tilted his computer screen slightly toward Xu Chujing and said with a smile:

"Jing, why don't you take a look at these three songs first?"
