At the age of 38, he went to college and his children were classmates.

Lin Moxuan snorted coldly, silently thinking to himself: This brat actually thinks I'm going back on my word!
"Dad, why did you set up so many pieces at the start?"

Lin Jiayu, puzzled, asked, resting her chin on her hand.

"Uh"

This question was a bit hurtful, but Lin Moxuan pretended not to hear it.

The chess game begins.

Shen Qiushan played steadily and calmly, making his moves with composure.

With a nine-stone advantage, Lin Moxuan launched a full-scale attack, hoping to turn his advantage into a victory.

However, as more and more pieces appeared on the chessboard, Lin Moxuan's expression became increasingly solemn.

Snapped!
As Shen Qiushan placed a white piece.

Lin Moxuan's eyes widened instantly.

No, this...

Unbeknownst to them, Shen Qiushan had actually created a beautiful "pocket" after placing the white piece.

Lin Moxuan's dozen or so chess pieces were all captured!

In an instant, the situation completely reversed.

Shen Qiushan switched from defense to offense, while Lin Moxuan was overwhelmed and ultimately suffered a crushing defeat, forced to abandon his pieces and admit defeat.

"Dad, a bet's a bet!"

"You absolutely have to participate in the finals of 'Voice of China'!"

As Shen Qiushan spoke, he put the chess pieces into the chess box.

"I was originally going to go to the event to cheer for Momo!"

Lin Moxuan pursed his lips slightly: "One more round!"

This Director Lin is very cunning. Since he's already lost, he might as well try to curry favor.

Shen Qiushan played two more games with Lin Moxuan, winning one and losing one.

After all, the other party is your father-in-law. It's not good to always unilaterally slaughter him. You should learn to let him win sometimes.

Giving a handicap is actually an art; it can't be too obvious, and even when you lose, you have to lose with a lot of skill.

Shen Qiushan's loss gave Lin Moxuan the feeling that he was arrogant and complacent, and that he lost because he underestimated his opponent.

"Akiyama, your Go skills are unparalleled."

"But we still can't be too arrogant. As the art of war says, an arrogant army is bound to be defeated!"

Lin Moxuan was in a good mood after winning a game, and took the opportunity to give a lecture.

"Yes, I'll definitely be more careful in the future."

Shen Qiushan nodded repeatedly, giving his father-in-law plenty of face.

weekend.

Sanjiang TV.

The final of "Voice of China" has arrived as scheduled.

The final competition consisted of three parts.

The first segment is a performance by returning contestants, who will have the opportunity to perform in the finals for contestants who have performed well in previous episodes but have already been eliminated.

The second segment was the official competition, where the finalists took turns performing on stage.

The third segment is the mentor-assisted singing segment, where contestants will perform with their mentors.

The contestant with the highest total number of votes in the second and third rounds will be the overall champion of this season's "Voice of China".

Eight o'clock.

The live broadcast officially begins.

The host, Zhang Zhihua, walked onto the stage with a big smile.

"Welcome everyone to the live broadcast of the 'Voice of China' Champions Night. I am your host, Zhang Zhihua..."

After finishing his opening remarks, Zhang Zhihua read out a series of sponsor names.

Then, the program officially began.

The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable during the return performances, as everyone was there to enjoy the stage. The contestants' performances were actually better than in previous competitions.

When the second segment began, the atmosphere backstage and on set underwent a subtle change.

The battle for the championship has begun!

The four finalists in this season of "Voice of China" are the Red Rose Band, Zhang Qi, Fan Xiaoyu, and Luo Zirui.

Among the four groups of contestants, the Red Rose Band is the most favored to win the championship!
Because the Red Rose Band had a significant lead in popularity among the top four contestants.

The combined viewership and buzz of the other three contestants don't even amount to a fraction of that of the Red Rose Band.

However, high popularity does not guarantee a win. Programs with high viewership like "Voice of China" are bound to be affected by external factors.

For example, before the start of the finals.

Executives at Tianxing Entertainment approached the Red Rose Band, wanting to sign them to their company.

But Lin Xiamo and the other three did not agree; they did not plan to sign with an entertainment company so soon.

Because signing with a company would impose too many restrictions, they actually planned to register their own music studio after the competition ended.

Then, you can work for yourself, and that way you won't have all sorts of restrictions.

However, starting your own company means you won't have a strong background and won't be able to access many resources.

But compared to so-called resources or "big opportunities," Lin Xiamo and the other three valued autonomy more.

They are the kind of people who don't want to be confined by rules and regulations; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to form an all-female rock band.

According to rumors circulating among the public, as long as one refuses to sign with Tianxing Entertainment, it will be impossible to win the overall championship of "Voice of China".

Because the program "Voice of China" is co-produced by Sanjiang TV and Tianxing Entertainment.

Although it's called a talent show, it's actually more like Tianxing Entertainment cultivating future talent for the company.

Many contestants who perform exceptionally well on the show are signed by Tianxing Entertainment if they don't already have an agency.

Therefore, from the company's perspective, the champion of "Voice of China" should naturally come from Tianxing Entertainment.

Otherwise, wouldn't all that money invested just be a waste of resources for others?
Because of this little incident, Lin Xiamo and the other three were no longer so obsessed with winning the championship.

Enjoy the stage!

"This is my last performance on the Voice of China stage!"

In the waiting area, Hu Tingting sighed.

"Yes, Tingting is right."

Shen Qiushan nodded, then smiled at Lin Xiamo: "Go ahead and have fun this time!"

"By the way, try these glasses on!"

As he spoke, Shen Qiushan handed Lin Xiamo a pair of square-framed glasses with thin gold rims and no lenses.

"what?"

Why do you wear glasses?

Lin Xiamo looked suspicious; her makeup and styling today had already made a significant breakthrough.

Unlike the previous episodes, today she wore a very figure-hugging light pink strapless fishtail dress.

The dress is adorned with numerous tiny diamonds and sequins, which sparkle brilliantly under the lights, making it dazzling and eye-catching.

"Try wearing it!"

Shen Qiushan felt that if Lin Xiamo wore glasses, she would have a more "Director Lin" aura.

as predicted.

When Lin Xiamo put on her glasses, her entire demeanor and variance changed.

Shen Qiushan's eyes were bright, and he silently calculated in his mind that he would have to wear these glasses from now on!
Yes, that's the feeling I'm looking for.

Before putting on the glasses, Lin Xiamo, wearing a strapless fishtail dress, gave off a sweet vibe overall, because the dress was very pink and had a princess-like feel.

But once she put on the thin-rimmed gold glasses, they instantly added a touch of intellect and elegance to her look, achieving a perfect balance between sweetness and maturity, and showcasing "intellectual allure" to the fullest.

"I never imagined that such a small pair of glasses could have such a big impact!"

Looking at Lin Xiamo wearing glasses, Hu Tingting couldn't help but sigh.

"That's amazing, it feels so sensual!"

Zhu Xinyue echoed this sentiment.

"This look is great, it'll definitely charm all the male fans!"

Fang Di, the girl with yellow hair, also gave a positive evaluation.

Lin Xiamo herself didn't seem to think anything of it. She turned to Shen Qiushan and asked, "Is it really that good?"

"very good!"

Shen Qiushan nodded solemnly: "Please weld these glasses onto your face!"

"Tch~" Lin Xiamo snorted: "It's not that exaggerated!"

"Several teachers."

"It's your turn to perform soon."

At that moment, a staff member strode over.

Live broadcasts are a huge test for all the staff on the production team; during regular recordings, they can at least slack off.

But live streaming is different; every step must be perfect and absolutely no mistakes can be made. The staff dare not slack off in the slightest.

on the stage.

The lights dimmed.

Shen Qiushan, Lin Xiamo, and the other three entered the venue together and found their places to stand.

"Next, please welcome the Red Rose Band to perform a new song, 'Nine Thousand Words'!"

As the host's voice fell.

The stage lights suddenly turned on.

Shen Qiushan and Lin Xiamo, standing in the center of the stage, immediately attracted the attention of all the audience.

The crowd erupted in "Wow!"
Handsome men and beautiful women!

It would be eye-catching anywhere, let alone on such a glamorous stage!

Of course, the reason why the audience had such a strong reaction was not entirely because the two were too good-looking.

Shen Qiushan's appearance was a huge surprise to the audience.

Because of a previous program, Lin Xiamo once said that Shen Qiushan was also a member of the Red Rose Band.

He could return to the team at any time!
At the time, many people thought Lin Xiamo was joking and using Shen Qiushan to gain attention.

To everyone's surprise, Shen Qiushan actually appeared on the stage of the finals!
"He's a writer, and he actually came to participate in 'Voice of China'!"

"Teacher Shen, can't we just focus on writing the book?"

"Teacher Shen is really a member of the Red Rose Band? I always thought it was a joke!"

"Shen Qiushan, an unofficial member of the Red Rose Band, is in position!"

The audience was talking a lot.

The mentor's seat.

Apart from Yang Nian, the other three mentors all wore expressions of shock.

They all looked incredulous.

Of course, all three mentors were acting; they knew Shen Qiushan would be participating in the finals during rehearsals.

But the live broadcast is currently underway, and these three seasoned veterans of the entertainment industry know exactly what to do, all for the sake of the show's effect.

Family quarters.

Lin Moxuan, Chen Qingzhu, Lin Jiayu, and the siblings Shen Yanran and Shen Yixiao were all present at that moment.

This is quite a rare occasion for the whole family to be involved.

"My second sister and brother-in-law have finally made their appearance!"

Lin Jiayu excitedly waved her little fist, then exclaimed, "Wow, he's kind of handsome! Is my brother-in-law wearing the same suit he wore at our wedding?"

"No, my dad bought a new suit for the show, it cost over 3 yuan!"

Shen Yanran quickly helped her father refute the rumors, saying that she was present when he bought the clothes.

"Anyway, my brother-in-law really does look much more handsome today than usual!"

Lin Jiayu praised it repeatedly.

However, Lin Moxuan, who was sitting next to the two, frowned deeply. He never dreamed that Shen Qiushan would also participate in this program.

"Is Akiyama going to sing?"

Lin Moxuan turned to look at his wife.

"Of course!"

"Otherwise, how could he possibly be on stage?" Chen Qingzhu asked with great interest.

"Nonsense!"

"That's just nonsense!"

"It's one thing for Momo to be acting up, but Shen Qiushan actually joined in the commotion!"

Lin Moxuan complained angrily, "Besides, can a writer sing?"

Have you forgotten what happened before?

"The video of Akiyama singing 'Red Rose' is very popular online!"

Chen Qingzhu explained.

"Bars are for casual occasions."

"This program is now being broadcast live nationwide!"

"If he performs poorly, not many people will criticize him!"

Lin Moxuan shook his head, then pointed at his daughter Lin Xiamo and said, "Momo, your outfit today is a bit outrageous!"

Chen Qingzhu rolled her eyes: "I knew I shouldn't have let you come!"

"I brought you here to encourage us, not to nitpick!"

Lin Moxuan objected, replying, "I was just offering some suggestions!"

Chen Qingzhu fell silent, because the prelude to "Nine Thousand Words" had already begun.

It had that DJ dance music feel to it; after hearing the intro, some people in the audience were already swaying to the rhythm.

That's the advantage of DJ-style songs; the song hasn't even started playing yet.

The audience members themselves are all excited!

The intro has ended.

Lin Xiamo was the first to sing the first verse.

During the interlude.

The two swayed their bodies to the rhythm of the music...

This was rehearsed beforehand; the movements weren't very pronounced, and the main focus was on creating a certain atmosphere.

Two people took the lead, and the audience started dancing along.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely lively.

Chen Qingzhu watched with a broad smile. She swayed her arms to the rhythm of the music and exclaimed, "This is the charm of music!"

"MoMo and Qiushan work together so well!"

Lin Moxuan curled his lip: "Is this what you call a song?"

"I don't think it's very good!"

"All you do is sabotage me!"

Chen Qingzhu rolled her eyes: "Look at those audience members, how happy they are!"

Lin Moxuan remained silent; this Director Lin was not interested in this kind of DJ-style song.

However, Lin Jiayu and Shen Yanran, who were standing nearby, seemed to enjoy listening to this.

Looking at the two on stage, who are a perfect match in terms of looks and have great chemistry.

Lin Jiayu suddenly remarked, "Yanran, don't you think your dad and my second sister are quite a good match?"

"what?"

Shen Yanran was stunned for a moment; she hadn't even considered that possibility.

She glanced at her father and second aunt on the stage and muttered to herself, "It seems that it really is!"

"I'll just say it!"

Lin Jiayu chuckled and teased, "Maybe those two really could end up together!"

"So, is your dad my eldest sister's husband or my second sister's husband?"

Snapped! !

As soon as Lin Jiayu finished speaking, she felt a slap on the back of her head. She turned her head and saw her father, Lin Moxuan, staring at her with a dark face: "Stop talking nonsense!"

"Compatible?!"

"How are they a good match? I don't think they're compatible at all!"

"Uh……"

Lin Jiayu dared not disobey her father, so she scratched her head with a wry smile and quickly echoed, "Yes, yes, yes, it doesn't match at all!"
