I really don't want to be the top streamer anymore

Su Yuwei found that the method her agent suggested seemed to be useful.

When they met Xu Kong before, both of them always felt a little awkward.

At this time, she no longer did those things too deliberately, but the awkward atmosphere was much less.

"Teacher Xu Kong, I don't have any other questions."

"Thank you for your help, please."

Su Yuwei continued, speaking very politely and courteously.

"Uh-huh."

"Don't be nervous, you will be fine with your strength."

really!

Su Yuwei was very happy.

Teacher Xu Kong actually started to care about her again!

Compared to the deliberate alienation before, the attitude now seems to have returned to the beginning of the two of them.

……

Xu Kong was still confused until Su Yuwei left.

Why did the other party suddenly become polite this time?

But he didn't think much about it. He just thought that Su Yuwei had given up completely.

This is also a good thing.

At least from now on he won't have to be nervous every time he thinks about meeting and chatting with Su Yuwei.

The two of them maintained the relationship between boss and company artist, which was actually pretty good.

……

On the second day in Xingcheng, the recording was not conducted until the evening. During the day, Xu Kong accepted Wu Youxue's invitation and had lunch with him.

This time we didn't choose any fancy restaurants outside.

Wu Youxue directly invited Xu Kong to his home.

"Hello, sister-in-law."

Wu Youxue's wife looks like a very ordinary housewife.

Nothing too special.

At least compared to him who is so famous in the entire entertainment industry, his spouse is indeed a little too ordinary.

But it can be seen that the two are still very much in love.

Although Wu Youxue is often not at home because of work.

But when he came back, he seemed like an ordinary middle-aged man, helping with housework and tutoring his daughter with homework.

"Are you Brother Xu Kong?!"

Wu Youxue's daughter looks to be in her teens.

Looks like he's in primary school.

After seeing Xu Kong, he seemed quite excited.

In fact, considering Wu Youxue's status, it is normal for his own child to meet a star.

……

"The child is naughty, don't mind it."

After watching Xu Kong accompanying his daughter, taking photos, and helping her sign a bunch of autographs.

Wu Youxue said with a smile.

"Doesn't Director Wu usually bring you to your TV station?"

Wu Youxue shook his head.

"Her mother is the one taking care of her. I don't have time to take care of her."

"And personally, I don't really like mixing work and life together."

"So Xiaowen has never been to my workplace."

Xu Kong nodded thoughtfully to show his understanding.

From this perspective, Wu Youxue's invitation to him as a guest at his home can be regarded as another way of expressing his attitude.

Because what the other party just said is to separate life and work.

So the reason Xu Kong was invited to the house for this meal was probably not related to work, but he was simply invited as a friend?
……

Xu Kong’s guess was not wrong.

Afterwards, Wu Youxue basically did not take the initiative to talk about anything related to work.

Even the "Masked Singer" that was to be officially recorded in the evening was not mentioned.

The whole time he was just chatting with Xu Kong about family matters.

"By the way, you should be almost twenty-four this year, right?"

"So, have you considered getting married? Or anything like that."

Wu Youxue is not a gossipy person.

Although Xu Kong had had scandals before, especially with Song Youyou, the daughter of Fengge’s chairman, and the singing queen Su Zhi.

But it was just a rumor and there was no more substantial evidence.

"I haven't considered it yet, mainly because I'm quite busy right now."

Xu Kong answered without blushing or beating his heart.

In fact, given his current situation, there is no way he can talk about this.

It can be said that there is absolutely no solution.

It's already very good to be able to maintain the status quo.

……

"That's right. You're young, so you should work hard."

Wu Youxue answered thoughtfully.

Then he suddenly changed the subject.

"In fact, your line of work is somewhat special."

"Based on what I've seen over the years, my advice is to try not to look for people in the same industry."

“It’s hard to go far…”

Xu Kong was stunned for a moment.

It’s not about whether what Wu Youxue said makes sense or not.

But he heard that Wu Youxue didn't seem to have mentioned it by chance.

It seems more like we were discussing this topic with a purpose.

……

Sure enough, before Xu Kong could continue speaking, Wu Youxue took the initiative to speak:

"To be honest, I have a cousin who is a top student. She just graduated from college this year and is preparing to go to graduate school."

"You have very high standards. How about you two get to know each other and talk first?"

Given Xu Kong's current identity, Wu Youxue dared to introduce him proactively.

Apart from anything else, the woman's conditions in all aspects are absolutely excellent.

"Forget it, Director Wu. You know our business is quite special..."

Xu Kong naturally declined.

Wu Youxue didn't know what his specific purpose was. He just mentioned it casually because he thought the two were a good match, so he introduced them.

Or does he want to rely on this relationship to create a deeper bond between the two of them in the future?

None of this matters.

For Xu Kong, given his current situation, it is definitely impossible for him to consider these things.

……

"I just mentioned it casually."

"After all, the girl's family is pressing for help, so she is desperate and is trying all kinds of methods."

“Hahahaha, let’s not talk about this anymore…”

Wu Youxue passed over the topic very naturally.

Of course, he didn't really think it would work.

It's just a matter of giving it a try.

In fact, the more famous a star becomes, the more he or she hopes to find a girlfriend or future partner outside the circle.

If the woman's family background and personal conditions are all good.

In fact, the probability of success is quite high.

Otherwise, Wu Youxue would not have brought it up on his own initiative.

Of course, it’s because I’ve seen similar successful cases before.

……

Xu Kong felt somewhat helpless. In fact, according to the age standards of this industry, he was indeed relatively young.

But at least you're already twenty-four or twenty-five.

According to Chinese tradition, people must live together to start a family and build a career.

Xu Kong has no problems with his career now.

Fortunately, the original owner's family didn't have any worries in this regard.

Otherwise, it would be like Su Zhi being urged to get married.

It is very likely to happen to him.

In the final analysis, even if you become a so-called big star, it is impossible for you to have fewer problems that your peers face.

...chatted with Wu Youxue for a while.

In fact, there is nothing important in it, it’s all things that have nothing to do with work.

For Xu Kong, this experience is quite good.

After all, he has not experienced much of the life of ordinary people.

Although the status of the two is equal now, Wu Youxue's age makes him more like an elder in Xu Kong's family when chatting.

Xu Kong could also tell that Wu Youxue was indeed not just a superficial person.

I can say that I care about him a lot.

In the current situation, of course, there are some other thoughts involved, which are inevitable.

But apart from that, Wu Youxue was quite sincere to him.

……

After finishing his meal, Xu Kong did not stay long. After all, he had to go to record the semi-finals of "King of Masked Singer" in the afternoon.

"Aren't you planning to cooperate with Xu Kongti?"

"Why didn't you mention it?"

After seeing Xu Kong off, Wu Youxue's wife asked in confusion.

Although she has been staying at home, she actually knows a lot about her husband's work.

"never mind."

"I feel like it's a little inappropriate to bring that up in this situation."

Wu Youxue replied.

He was indeed planning to discuss cooperation, which was about some business cooperation between Fengqing Entertainment and Mango.

It is no doubt that Mango TV is the biggest beneficiary of the popularity of "King of Masked Singer".

But at the same time, more than half of the artists are from Fengqing Entertainment, which actually explains some problems.

Wu Youxue is actually quite optimistic about Fengqing Entertainment.

Compared to Jiying, the largest music company in the entertainment industry today, Fengqing Entertainment is obviously a potential stock worthy of investment.

Especially with the existence of Xu Kong, it can be said that the upper limit is definitely quite high.

At least in the future Fengqing Entertainment will really have the capital to be on par with Fengge now.

If it really comes to that, then Xu Kong, the boss who owns shares in both companies, will indeed have a different status.

……

"But based on my impression of him when I met him today, he should be a person who values ​​old friendships."

"You don't need to worry too much."

Wu Youxue’s wife spoke up.

Of course she had known Xu Kong for a long time.

Even if Wu Youxue didn't take the initiative to mention it, just looking at Xu Kong's current popularity and fame.

As long as you are online, it is impossible not to know.

However, Xu Kong has rarely made public appearances in the past two years.

Although he has been producing works continuously, he has become more and more low-key.

So my basic impression of Xu Kong is indeed vague.

But today I saw the real person.

Besides being very handsome, he is also very mature in his dealings with people.

She really had no aversion to Xu Kong.

And from the other party's attitude towards Wu Youxue, it can be seen that he is very respectful.

At least compared with some of the ungrateful people Wu Youxue had helped before, he was completely different.

……

"Well, that's why I didn't take the initiative to mention it because I felt the same way."

Wu Youxue also nodded in approval.

In fact, he just took the initiative to introduce his cousin to Xu Kong.

It is indeed a tentative attitude.

I never thought it would work.

But Xu Kong’s reaction at that time was also very interesting.

Although he declined politely, he did not show any anger or dissatisfaction.

It's just some common embarrassment among young people.

From this point of view, at least Xu Kong now hasn't changed much from when he first met him.

He did not act superior because of the change in his identity, thinking that he was no longer an ordinary artist.

Even when chatting with him, he maintained the same attitude.

This is what Wu Youxue feels reassured about.

If Xu Kong really had some dissatisfaction with him, or was being perfunctory and looking down on him.

Wu Youxue can also discover it immediately.

……

After all, the identities of the two people now have been completely reversed.

No matter whether it is any cooperation or the value of resources.

In fact, it is Mango, represented by Wu Youxue, who has something to ask of Xu Kong.

This is also the point that Wu Youxue is not sure about what kind of relationship he should have with Xu Kong in the future.

It seems that Xu Kong might have intended to test his attitude during the previous cooperation with Tomato TV.

But more importantly, it was because Fengge really needed the Tomato TV Spring Festival Gala platform at that time.

……

At the same time, preparations for "The King of Masked Singer" had actually begun before the official recording began.

After all, it is the semi-finals, and the stage this time is bigger than before.

At the same time, several singers who need to perform on stage are also making preparations such as rehearsals in advance.

In order to maintain confidentiality, the singers on the show actually all have separate lounges.

They didn't even meet each other.

Of course, in fact, several people from Fengqing Entertainment already knew each other’s identities.

As almost no one outside had guessed, Ke Chen was chatting privately with Mao Zheyu at this time.

……

"I feel like I'm going to be eliminated this time."

Mao Zheyu spoke somewhat helplessly.

Ke Chen opened his mouth to comfort him:

"Will not."

“I feel like I might be the one who gets eliminated…”

Mao Zheyu's worries are actually unfounded.

His identity has been roughly guessed.

The main reason is that the style of the song is so strong that it is really hard to fail to recognize it.

With the help of several hit singles by Xu Kong, Mao Zheyu has now made a name for himself in the circle.

The song data and the popularity of the person are both pretty good.

But because of his style, he didn't get very many votes on the show.

The style of songs is more like those from ten or twenty years ago, and in the eyes of many people, it is still a bit old-fashioned.

Although the song's data has always been good, its audience actually tends to be slightly older.

……

"It's okay. I'm already very satisfied to have come this far."

Mao Zheyu smiled very calmly.

He is quite satisfied with his current situation.

He has a fixed group of fans and is not short of performance opportunities.

The data and popularity of each song are not low.

This is a very good development for any singer.

Moreover, he was forced to move up by Xu Kong even though he had offended people in the circle.

Mao Zheyu doesn't have such big ambitions.

I also like the style of the songs Xu Kong wrote for me, and it is indeed suitable for him.

……

"I feel the song that Teacher Xu Kong wrote for you this time can make it to the finals."

"It would be best if everyone in our company could make it to the finals. That would be the best."

Ke Chen's idea is very simple, although his current popularity on the show can be said to be the highest.

Mainly because no one could guess his identity.

But he is not famous, so it is normal that no one can guess his name.

But Ke Chen really doesn't feel much about the championship and ranking.

He believed more that both Xu Kong and Fengqing Entertainment made him find a sense of belonging.

As long as they are from your own company, it actually makes the same difference no matter who wins in the end.
