Chapter 183: The Mission of the Older Sister!

The people in the live stream, including Zhang Anqi's fans, never expected her to say that.

Everyone was stunned!

The live stream's bullet‑chat numbers dropped, obviously because everyone's brains couldn't wrap around it!

They had expected Zhang Anqi to veto it, saying the song wasn't written by Jiang Cheng, or to admit it was written by Jiang Cheng.

But they never imagined that after Zhang Anqi admitted it, she would then say the song was just so-so!

You know that song is currently Zhang Anqi's best‑performing song!

Where does she get the courage?!

The audience actually didn't know that Zhang Anqi and Jiang Cheng had a conflict, nor did they know that Zhang Anqi had once asked Jiang Cheng to write a song for her, only to be refused by him.

"Smashing the pot while eating, there's indeed a knack for it!"

"What the hell is she up to, did she drink fake liquor?!!"

"Are you sure she's not tearing down her own stage?"

"I think Princess Anqi's statement is fine; that song really doesn't match her style."

"Support Anqi!"

The four mentors in the front row also exchanged glances, all feeling this topic was explosive!

But as soon as they heard it, they knew there was something going on, so they didn't say much, lest they get involved.

In the entertainment circle, there are many instances of seeing her rise from nothing to great heights and then see her collapse, yet no one would casually give someone else an endorsement.

Those who casually give endorsements have long disappeared into the crowd.

In the CEO's office of Lightman Entertainment, Su Manyao watched the woman Zhang Anqi standing on the stage in the live stream; this is her employee earning money for her.

However, it's not yet her turn to manage; Zhang Anqi hasn't qualified to let her personally take control.

At this moment, watching Zhang Anqi speak so lightly and calmly.

Fortunately, Su Manyao knows the inside story, couldn't help but roll her eyes, yet she's also curious what song Lin Muyang gave Zhang Anqi that gave her such confidence!

……

"Shameless!"

Backstage, Ye Qing finally couldn't help but utter a sentence.

Jiang Cheng, the hero, nodded in slight agreement; this kind of pot‑smashing while eating deserves to die.

However, at the same time Jiang Cheng also felt the oppressive feeling of an impending storm, wind filling the tower.

It's aimed at him!

……

On stage, a few minutes later, Zhang Anqi finished singing a song.

After the bow, the lights came up.

The entire venue instantly erupted in unprecedented enthusiastic applause!

"Zhang Anqi!"

"Zhang Anqi!" xn

"Wuu wuu wuu, hubby, I miss my ex‑boyfriend!"

"Wife, don't cry, I also miss my ex‑girlfriend."

"If I get another chance, I won't let go this time!"

After Zhang Anqi finished singing the song, many people in the audience wiped away tears.

She sang the love song Lin Muyang gave her, "Northern Sea Stele".

The melody is tender, worthy of being a classic, and indeed matches her voice very well.

The live stream's viewer count, thanks to this song, rose from 1.5 million to 1.8 million.

Pushing this number higher is now extremely difficult, after all, while some people come to the live stream, others leave for various reasons.

But at this moment, the hot comments on the live stream's bullet chat are extraordinarily lively: "I said I believe Princess Anqi; she's right, Jiang Cheng's songs are really just so‑so, they simply don't suit her style!"

"Those who claimed Princess Anqi rose to fame relying on Jiang Cheng's songs are hilarious; now see Anqi's strength, huh?!"

"Fortunately Princess Anqi only sang one of Jiang Cheng's songs, otherwise it would truly be ruined."

"Those who said without Jiang Cheng's songs Anqi couldn't become popular, care to get slapped in the face now?!"

At this moment, the bullet chat is full of support for Zhang Anqi, with hardly any opposition.

Even the four mentors pursed their lips, coming to understand what Zhang Anqi had said earlier.

No wonder Zhang Anqi dares to be so arrogant; she truly brought something with her.

Backstage of the production team, the Music Director felt a shudder inside, an indescribable discomfort.

He works in music and technology, and he really likes Jiang Cheng.

Earlier, seeing Zhang Anqi obviously become famous thanks to Jiang Cheng's songs, yet then turn around and say Jiang Cheng's songs are mediocre, he felt indignant for Jiang Cheng.

But now, after listening to Zhang Anqi's song, he has nothing to say, only feeling an indescribable discomfort!

The song Zhang Anqi just sang is indeed much more pleasant to listen to than the previous song Jiang Cheng wrote for her.

!

Ye Qing saw this scene, tears spilled uncontrollably, and she dared not look at Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng had to speak up, otherwise Ye Qing's mindset wouldn't stay stable, affecting the later performance.

"What's there to cry about? There are many good songs; anyone can write them. Don't worry about others—what matters most in your own field is to compare yourself to yourself."

"Always remember there are people beyond people, mountains beyond mountains; as long as you do what you can, having a clear conscience is enough."

These words are hollow, but at this moment they are the best comfort, and we can only console Ye Qing this way.

Actually, Jiang Cheng himself knows very well that it's not that his previous song is worse than the song Zhang Anqi just sang.

But that song really isn't suitable for Zhang Anqi.

When he wrote that song back then, he wasn't writing it for Zhang Anqi either; he just casually wrote a song intending to sell it to earn college living expenses.

So, in Jiang Cheng's view, the current situation is quite normal.

After he said that, Ye Qing lowered her head and nodded.

Jiang Cheng said: "If you're not convinced, then show your strength, perform well later, and surpass her."

Hmm!

Ye Qing turned her head, stared at Jiang Cheng, and nodded with a hum.

Chen Shu, standing nearby, suddenly also felt a sense of mission!

I don't know why, but in that very second just now, she felt a sense of sharing glory with Jiang Cheng!

Exactly! If you're not convinced, speak with strength!

……

On stage, the four mentors' comments were naturally just praise.

After all, having reached this level, there's no need to nitpick; mutually praising benefits everyone, and the audience likes it too.

After the round ended, Zhang Anqi walked off the stage with a smile!

Today is her happiest day in the past two months!

She certainly knows that, after admitting the song was written by Jiang Cheng, then disparaging him would be like lifting a rock only to drop it on her own foot.

But she has confidence!

Because she brought a work capable of surpassing Jiang Cheng!

Moreover, Jiang Cheng is now the biggest traffic draw of this show!

The traffic has already surpassed the four mentors, and also surpassed her and the other contestant guests!

In the entertainment circle, chasing traffic is nothing new; someone who can't chase traffic cannot become a traffic star in the entertainment circle!

No matter how talented, they can only be considered a staff member of the entertainment circle!

But chasing traffic also has its tricks, like being able to go with the flow, to share a bed with Jiang Cheng—that would naturally be better, making the traffic come more smoothly!

But Jiang Cheng didn't give her that opening, repeatedly refusing her!

Then she could only use another trick!

Simply put, it's porcelain-bumping!

Porcelain-bumping is risky, but traffic equals profit; when faced with profit, if the profit is big enough, it's worth the risk!

Directly stepping on Jiang Cheng would naturally inherit his traffic!
