Chapter 146: Give the Yujie a head-pat kill!

In the lottery segment after the previous episode ended, Lu Jia Jia openly slandered Jiang Cheng and even applied to switch teams.

In such a situation, the Entertainment Circle actually rarely sees this, after all everyone makes a living on stage, being too aggressive inevitably invites attacks from others.

But this show is different; most participants are amateurs, plainly speaking, they don't follow the rules.

Jiang Cheng must turn things around.

Even if he himself doesn't care about the show's ranking, if he doesn't turn this around, then many years later, no matter how big or strong his studio becomes in this circle, this behind-the-scenes person will become a gossip laughingstock for many front-stage artists!

After all, he opened the studio with the intention of making it big and strong; otherwise he wouldn't have opened this studio!

So, regarding the whispered discussions he heard around him in the lobby, he didn't take them to heart; the battlefield isn't here.

Ye Qing looked at Jiang Cheng with a somewhat fragile expression; seeing her boss expressionless, she pressed her lips and said nothing.

She felt these people's eyes were truly terrible, not understanding her boss's strength!

Su Manyao, on the other hand, was completely indifferent.

This circle is like that: making a living by talent, if you dare to enjoy others' praise, you must also dare to bear the dark slander.

To wear the crown, one must bear its weight—this is the law of truth.

Here is not a place where greenhouse flowers can grow.

So, regarding this trivial matter, she thinks Jiang Cheng won't care; if he does care, it would disappoint her greatly.

Soon after, several people arrived at the 23rd floor.

Jiang Cheng turned his head and said to Ye Qing, "Go to the backstage first to handle the liaison."

All contestants must liaise with the production team before the show is recorded.

Actually, these past few days, besides practicing singing with Chen Yongwang, Ye Qing has also been recording backstage with the production team to prepare for tonight's show.

After Ye Qing left, Jiang Cheng led Su Manyao toward the broadcast hall.

"Can't you give me a hint about what you've prepared for tonight?" After Ye Qing left, Su Manyao also relaxed a bit, slung her bag over her shoulder, and said to Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng said, "Don't rush, let me keep a bit of mystery; when the show starts, you'll hear it."

"Don't disappoint me, okay." Su Manyao said with a smile, her voice clear and crisp.

A passerby nearby, seeing this scene, was dumbfounded and directly bumped into the corridor wall.

"Sorry, sorry."

I don't know who he was apologizing to, but it was pretty awkward anyway.

Seeing a beautiful woman, then watching him bump into the corridor wall, this will surely become a laughingstock when it spreads.

But this woman's charming smile is truly beautiful.

Arriving at the broadcast hall, Jiang Cheng led Su Manyao to the front row, then found his reserved seat.

"Sit here for a moment, I still need to go to the back to do liaison work," Jiang Cheng said.

"Okay, go get busy."

Su Manyao in a long dress sat down gracefully on the chair, legs crossed, she lifted her legs into a cross-legged pose, the tips of her red-soled strappy high heels slightly curled up, revealing toes painted with scarlet nail polish.

Her beige bag was placed on her thigh, with both hands lightly pressing on it.

"Wow, is that Jiang Cheng's girlfriend?"

"So beautiful!"

"When I watched Jiang Cheng and Ye Qing's team in the previous episode, I thought Ye Qing would be Jiang Cheng's girlfriend, but I didn't expect his girlfriend to be even more beautiful than Ye Qing!"

A young male student said, "Hah, just by looking at the songs he writes, you know what kind of person he is—mere flowery words, that's all his level."

"Actually, I think his songs are pretty good; people in my class have been listening to them these days."

"What's good to listen to? Whether he has real talent will be known tonight; without Ye Qing to back him up, he's nothing!"

A few people sitting in the back were chatting, when Su Manyao in the front row turned around to look.

Expressionless, her eyes clear and cold, she said nothing.

But the people chatting behind immediately fell silent. This aura was too strong, it felt like being stared at by a teacher in high school when goofing off in class.

"It's fine, let them talk." Jiang Cheng stood in front of Su Manyao and said with a smile.

Unconsciously, he reached out and stroked her hair once.

It was like soothing her emotions.

This really was an involuntary gesture; after stroking, Jiang Cheng realized what he'd done.

What did I just do?

He nervously looked at Su Manyao, his face showing nothing, waiting for her reaction.

Su Manyao's body also trembled slightly; she lifted her head to look at Jiang Cheng, pressed her lips, then glanced aside and said, "Go ahead and get busy; I'm fine sitting here alone."

"Alright, if anything comes up, just call me."

Jiang Cheng said that and then ran off.

!

Ah, that scared me to death!

How could it be like petting a little dog, giving the Yujie a head-pat kill?!

Watching Jiang Cheng hurry away, Su Manyao couldn't hold back, a smile appeared on her face.

Then she lightly flicked her hair.

Hmph!

His gall is getting bigger and bigger!

"He really is her boyfriend."

"So sweet, seriously, I've been melted by sweetness!"

"When he just did that head-pat kill, it was really gentle; if my boyfriend were as gentle as him, I wouldn't have gone out with his brothers!"

"Who says it's not? My boyfriend doesn't even have half her gentleness, and his brothers are the same—each one ruder than the last. Every time we go out, it's like they've never seen a woman before."

…

Before Su Manyao could lose her temper, Jiang Cheng ran off.

He still had to go backstage to coordinate with the production team.

"Are you Jiang Cheng?"

"Wait a moment, I happen to have something to discuss with you; I was about to call you."

Jiang Cheng had originally been planning to go to the planning department, but when he passed the recording studio, someone called out to him.

He turned his head and saw it was the sound engineer who had taught him the song last time.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Cheng asked.

The sound engineer said, "My team leader is looking for you."

Then Jiang Cheng followed the sound engineer into the recording studio.

"Team Leader, I just happened to run into Jiang Cheng, so I brought him over."

"This is my team leader, Qiuyi."

The sound engineer team leader standing before Jiang Cheng, Qiuyi, was a fashionable young man with braids like Chen Yongwang, about thirty years old.

Qiuyi said, "You came at just the right time—the show is about to air, and I just checked and found there's a problem with the song you gave me last time."

Jiang Cheng raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "What problem?"

Qiuyi said, "The one you're paired with is Lu Jia Jia, right? I know her—she won first place in a small talent show before, but the song you wrote for her this time, after she recorded it, I just checked and the melody is really far off."

Qiuyi paused, as if thinking about how to express it.

Then he tactfully said, "Why don't you change the song, or see if you can adjust it? After all, today's program is live, and the mentors are all big names in the entertainment circle."

"If the song quality is too poor, the audience will doubt our program team's quality and ability."

As Qiuyi spoke, he picked up a folder from the table beside him and pushed it toward Jiang Cheng.

On the top of the sheet music inside the folder was written: "Hard-to-recite Sutra".
