Chapter 166: How many women have hurt you!

Jiang Cheng quickly finished checking the information, inwardly thinking the production team's schedule was really rushed.

But considering the production team now broadcasts live, the audience's expectations won't give the show much time to prepare; perhaps this genuine state is even more appealing.

As the saying goes, pressure can stimulate a person's potential; what the production team wants might be just this feeling.

After finishing checking the information, Jiang Cheng stood up and walked toward the recording studio.

Chen Yongwang followed from behind and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Cheng didn't answer him, but went to the recording studio door and saw Chen Shu inside practicing singing.

He knocked on the glass, and Chen Shu's peach-blossom eyes looked over.

Jiang Cheng said, "We need to intensify the singing practice; this afternoon you'll go with me to the production team."

Jiang Cheng's voice passed through the microphone on the engineer's workstation and into Chen Shu's earpiece inside.

Chen Shu raised his eyebrows, thinking, "So urgent?"

At the same time, she suddenly felt the pressure increase greatly.

Ye Qing, standing nearby, had been listening to Chen Shu record a song; hearing Jiang Cheng's words, she anxiously said, "We have to go to the production team this afternoon for a report—is it going live? My condition isn't ready; I haven't finished practicing the song."

Jiang Cheng gave her a glance and said, "You haven't practiced well, yet you're just loafing around here."

Ye Qing immediately became anxious, asking the nearby engineer if there were any extra practice rooms, and begged him to arrange one for her quickly.

…

After nearly three hours of practice, Chen Shu came out of the recording studio and said, "I should now be able to record it completely."

Chen Yongwang, who had been sitting in the lounge chatting with Jiang Cheng, stood up and said, "Then you wait here alone; I'll go record her song."

Liangjingyu beside them also stood up, mischievously saying, "I want to go in and listen too," and then followed them to the recording studio.

Forty minutes later, the time had already reached seven in the evening, and the recording studio door opened.

Chen Yongwang was the first to come out, his face full of dejection, his eye sockets slightly red.

He looked as if his wife had died, but when chatting he said he was still single.

What's going on? Is it from listening to the song again?

Indeed, following Chen Yongwang out were Liangjingyu and the engineer; their expressions were no different from his.

Fortunately, it wasn't as exaggerated as yesterday; yesterday three people came out, two of them burst into tears, simply too absurd.

Chen Yongwang walked over with a mournful face and said, "How many women have hurt you to be able to write such heart-wrenching lyrics and melody?"

Liangjingyu also blinked her big eyes, tears glistening as she looked at Jiang Cheng.

At that moment she felt the man before her was truly pitiful; he must have been hurt by many people.

Liangjingyu pouted her lips and whispered, "Jiang Cheng, I want to hug you."

Chen Yongwang also said, "I also want to hug you."

Jiang Cheng instantly knew what they were thinking; he told Chen Yongwang, "Get lost." Then he looked at Liangjingyu and said, "Come, Little Fishy, let's hug."

Liangjingyu really lunged over, landing in Jiang Cheng's arms, which left him at a loss.

Chen Yongwang shouted, "Damn, you bastard who favors lust over friends!"

Not long after, Ye Qing also came out of another recording studio, hopping and skipping happily as she said, "Boss, I've finished recording."

Chen Yongwang widened his eyes, looking at her and said, "Is what you recorded the same song you sang yesterday? That song made me cry listening to it; how did you manage to stay so happy after finishing it?"

Ye Qing naturally said, "The lyrics say waiting a thousand years is sad, but that's just in the song; it doesn't mean I really have to wait a thousand years. The boss is standing right in front of me, so what do I have to wait for?" After saying that, she put her hands behind her back and hopped away happily.

Chen Yongwang stared wide-eyed at Ye Qing's back, then glanced at Jiang Cheng. He thought inwardly: What does this mean? You know, boss, this is too direct!

Chen Shu came out of the recording studio, just happened to see this scene, covered his mouth and chuckled lightly.

The songs recorded by Ye Qing and Chen Shu were both completed and loaded onto a USB drive; Jiang Cheng handed the USB to Liangjingyu and said, "Please make a trip, deliver the USB to the studio for Chu Siqi, then you and Chu Siqi plan it, and tomorrow go shoot the MV."

Okay, Liangjingyu readily agreed.

After cooperating with Jiang Cheng's studio, she also came to have a semi-stable job.

At least each gig earns her a few thousand; added up, it's over ten thousand a month.

Moreover, this is still just the early stage of Jiang Cheng's studio; if more artists join later, the workload will definitely increase.

Furthermore, shooting MVs pays more, so her income is also higher.

Naturally she's willing to run errands for Jiang Cheng, and even hopes he'll absorb her into the studio as his dedicated videographer.

!

She dares to pat her D-cup conscience, guaranteeing Jiang Cheng's studio will surely become big; if she joins, she'll also rise with the tide.

Still that broken minivan borrowed by Jiang Cheng; he drove it, taking Chen Shu and Ye Qing, rushing to the production team.

Arriving at the production team's building, he parked the car; the time was exactly 7:40.

"What kind of broken car are they driving? Speaking of which, is this really a grassroots rise to fame?"

"Looking at how young Jiang Cheng is, he's probably still a student, truly broke; maybe joining this show is his debut, and he likely hasn't written songs before."

"That's too exaggerated; I bet no one would buy that minivan secondhand, and if you gave it to someone else, they'd disdain it and refuse to spend money to fix it."

They got out of the car, and the production team's contestants saw them, chatting among themselves.

But soon someone noticed Chen Shu and exclaimed in surprise, "Hey look, who is that? Am I mistaken? It's Teacher Chen Shu!"

"Damn, it really is Chen Shu—how did Jiang Cheng manage to invite him? Speaking of which, this is truly a heavyweight figure!"

A girl with a long braid said.

"Whether heavyweight or not, it's just an empty title; let her hold a concert now and see if anyone buys tickets."

A man beside him also said.

"The best way to test a singer is to see if anyone is willing to pay for her; everything else is fake. Chen Shu is left with just an empty title."

"What's Chen Shu? I just sat in the car and already saw several big names go upstairs; they're probably guests invited by the show's contestants."

"By the way, I just saw Zhang Anqi and Chen Keyin; those are the real big names nowadays—whoever holds a concert has the venue packed and tickets hard to get, while Chen Shu now can't even see their taillights!"

Jiang Cheng ignored those people paying attention to them, directly taking Ye Qing and Chen Shu upstairs in the elevator.

He has also been assigned his own resting room backstage of the program team, which he shares with Ye Qing.

Just as he sat down in the resting room, waiting for the program team's arrangements, he saw a woman walk in at the door—exactly the black silk high-heeled woman who had come that day to invite him and Huang Zhengming to meet.

"Jiang Cheng, do you have time now?"

"Teacher Huang Zhengming is calling you over to his resting room for a chat."
