Chapter 204 Boss Ding
The semi-finals are over, and the competition stage of the Shen City Young Singer Contest, even if it has come to an end temporarily, the finals have to wait for the semi-finals in the Wuchang and Yanjing competition areas to be held together with the finals of the other four competition areas. Qiang Xinsheng concentrated on building momentum.

The time for the finals in Shencheng District is expected to be around mid-January, during which there may be several commercial performances and one or two concerts.

Ding Ning does not plan to participate in the commercial performance. For the concert, the two songs "When You Are Old" and "Blue Lotus" are enough to eat the world, and there is not much to prepare.

All of a sudden, there was a lot more time, and Ding Ning could take a breath of relief.

In order to celebrate the not-so-satisfactory end of the semi-finals, the program team prepared a dinner.

The dinner was held in the main banquet hall of the Lotte Hotel. Not only the program group of the Shen City Young Singer Contest participated, but also the program group leaders and top five contestants from Shu City and Yangcheng Division who had traveled thousands of miles away.

Of course, Ding Ning was sitting with the semi-finalists in the Shen City competition area. Having the experience of being overwhelmed by alcohol last time, Ding Ning simply refused to drink this time and only drank fruit juice.

But there were quite a few people who wanted to persuade him to drink, and Ding Ning declined all of them. Gao Jianqing said he was not interesting, but Ding Ning just laughed it off.

It wasn't that he looked down on the players present, nor was he putting on airs, it was just that he really didn't need to embarrass himself for the so-called "meaning".

However, there were two people booing at the table, and Ding Ning couldn't stand it, so he had to drink two glasses with him.

These two people, one is Cao Liya and the other is Qiu Yiyi. The inequality between men and women is also evident at the wine table.

For Ding Ning's retirement, Cao Liya and Qiu Yiyi were very happy from the bottom of their hearts, so their previous sense of estrangement towards Ding Ning was completely eliminated during this dinner.

To be precise, since Ding Ning officially announced his withdrawal from the follow-up competitions, Ding Ning has become "their own person" in their minds, and he is a very worthy person to get close to.

Ding Ning's current popularity can be said to be increasing day by day, and the prospects are bright. Even if they win the title of the strongest new voice, they may not be able to compare. If they have a good relationship with him, they may benefit in the future.

There are too many people drinking enough, and after drinking for three rounds, some people start to talk more.

After a few glasses of wine, Cao Liya, whose cheeks were flushed, was probably delighted with today's achievements, and she played the role of the big sister with a little ecstasy, and she could grab whoever said anything and say a few words.

Ding Ning said that he didn't learn piano for a long time, and Cao Liya said that she started learning dance when she was three years old.

Sun Lixin said that he began to listen to Wei Liang's songs in elementary school, and Cao Liya said that she really liked Wei Liang's "Floating Life", and then she talked about all the popular singers, and then bragged about her mentor Wu Hongming.

Everyone can only go along with her one after another.

Ding Ning smiled without saying a word, entertaining people who came from other tables to toast him from time to time.

As we talked, we talked about everyone's plans for the future.

Gao Jianqing said that he must go home and continue to run his tobacco shop. As for singing, let's treat it as a hobby. When he gets older, he probably won't bother anymore.

Cao Liya immediately took up the conversation loudly: "If I am eliminated, I will definitely have to take over my parents' company and stop singing. This time to participate in the competition, my parents were unwilling to let me come, so I insisted. They even secretly signed up, and they were willing to let me come. Fortunately, I entered the top five, or else I would have to be forced to go home now."

As soon as Cao Liya said this, the conversation on the scene suddenly became quieter.

In fact, everyone present knew that Cao Liya had a background, and everyone was saying in private that her family had done a lot for her secretly.

Cao Liya didn't mention her family background before, and everyone tacitly said that if she had an idea, she only discussed it in a small range, or simply kept it in her heart.

But when she said it now, her voice was a bit loud, wasn't she flaunting her family background?

Although everyone still wouldn't say bad things in front of her, their thoughts were different, and they had more or less opinions on her, and they also disliked her showing off.

After all, most of the people present were from ordinary families, and there were a few downcasts who had been defeated repeatedly.

There are also a few who are not convinced that Cao Liya, whose level is fluctuating, can get the current results. They all think that the reason why she can have the current results is that her family has spent a lot of money on her.

Cao Liya's words were actually quite common, and they were particularly harsh to their ears.

Gao Jianqing was the oldest among all the people present, and he was also the most eloquent. Seeing that everyone had different expressions and the atmosphere was not right, he immediately raised his glass and said, "Come on, let us wish Cao Liya a better future." All of you who have entered the top five, I wish you all the best when you reach the top new voice, win the top five seats in one fell swoop, and win glory for our Shenzhou competition area."

"Thank you." Cao Liya responded immediately with a smile and raised her glass.

Of course the others also cooperated.

He drank the beer in the glass very boldly. Cao Liya, who was in high spirits, turned her head to look at Jiang Yu beside her, and said, "Jiang Yu, it's a pity that you didn't make it to the top five. I thought you would. .”

"Ha." Jiang Yu smiled awkwardly, and responded, "There's nothing to regret. If you lose, you lose. I didn't perform well myself."

"Then do you still plan to sing in the future?" Cao Liya asked again.

Jiang Yu paused for a while, looked at Ding Ning, and said, "It should be, I may sign a contract with Ding Ning's studio, and I will be a member of Ding Ning's company in the future."

"Ah? You want to sign with Ding Ning's studio?" Cao Liya was shocked when she heard this.

Not only Cao Liya, but everyone at the table immediately turned their attention to Jiang Yu or Ding Ning after hearing Jiang Yu's words.

Especially the few players who did not enter the top five, their eyes were focused and caring.

For them, Jiang Yu's words gave them a hope.

"Yeah." Jiang Yu nodded and grinned at Ding Ning, "Really, boss?"

"You haven't thought about it yet." Ding Ning fiddled with the wine glass in his hand and smiled.

Before Jiang Yu could reply, Gao Jianqing interrupted anxiously with a smile, "Boss Ding, why don't you sign me too."

Although he said this in a joking tone, it was actually a temptation.

Ding Ning's current talent is obvious to all.

None of the songs he has written so far has achieved poor results. If he can sign a contract with his studio and ask him to help write songs, he might become popular. It is undoubtedly a promising way out.

If possible, he sincerely hopes that Ding Ning can sign him.

"Boss Ding, and me." Tang Junhua said not to be outdone.

"Don't bother, Boss Ding has no time to talk to you. Aren't you just embarrassing Boss Ding? Right, Boss Ding. Leave them alone, what do you think of me?" Lai Jing, who was sitting next to Ding Ning, said excitedly He patted Ding Ning's arm.
