Huayu: Starting with binding the front desk

Wang Zhe's eyes widened instantly. What kind of outrageous words were those from Xu Ying?

"Mom, I'm perfectly normal, why would you ask such a question?"

Seeing his reaction, Xu Ying realized she was overthinking it and explained, "It's just that there are too many people like that in this industry, and you're currently filming Guo Jingming's movie, so I'm just worried."

Wang Zhe looked helpless and somewhat frustrated, saying, "Mom, do I look like someone who's seriously ill?"

Xu Ying reached out and pinched his ear, saying in an unfriendly tone, "You just said you can't distinguish between feelings, how can I not overthink it!"

You silly boy, you seem to have a good relationship with that girl, but there's been no real progress at all. Who knows if you'll go astray?

"Mom, be gentle...it hurts..."

Wang Zhe was speechless. Well, it turned out that her gentleness just now was all an act. This was the mother he knew.

Xu Ying released her grip and warned him, "You should also know about the dirty things in this circle."

If you really like that girl named Zhang Jingyi, then take advantage of the fact that it's not too late and sign with Qinghe. You're a grown man now, what kind of talk is this, hesitating like this?

"But Qinghe now has Xiaotian and..."

  

Just as Wang Zhe was about to voice his concerns, Xu Ying slapped him on the back of the head and said irritably:

"Wang Zhe, you are my son, Xu Ying's son. What do you have to be afraid of? Your mother has plenty of resources. Do you think your father and I have been wasting our time all these years?"

Wang Zhe's mind went blank for a moment; what did he have to be afraid of?

Are you afraid of facing a chaotic situation? If so, then you'll have to face it sooner or later.

He excitedly cupped Xu Ying's face in his hands and kissed her directly on the cheek.

"Mom, thank you, I understand now."

Xu Ying raised her hand to wipe her face, glared at him, and said, "Wang Zhe, but let me make it clear beforehand that your current position is still that of an idol, and the essence of an idol is to sell 'fantasy'."

Although you are my son, feelings are feelings, and business is business. You need to think things through carefully and discuss them with me before making a decision.

Wang Zhe was well aware of the seriousness of the matter, not to mention the explosive news in the second half of this year, "The Beginning of the Fall of China's Top Celebrity".

Before his rebirth, he was also a participant in such events.

Xu Ying wanted to have this conversation with Wang Zhe because she had keenly sensed that something was wrong with Wang Zhe's recent behavior.

As his mother, she knew Wang Zhe all too well. Before the college entrance examination, although he was mischievous and seemed unreliable, he didn't cause her any worry.

However, after the college entrance examination, Wang Zhe did not seem to have changed much from before.

But she could sense that Wang Zhe was suppressing himself and becoming somewhat lonely. He could only smile briefly when he was with Wang Churan.

After Yang Yangjin finished reporting his work to Xu Ying.

When she inquired about Zhang Jingyi's whereabouts, she learned that Zhang Jingyi had not signed with Qinghe, and she knew where the problem lay.

Seeing that Wang Zhe had come to terms with it, Xu Ying stopped worrying about his romantic relationships. No matter which one he ultimately chose, as long as he was willing, that was fine with her.

"For the guest performance segment in 'The Coming One,' let Yao Xiaotang appear in the next episode." Xu Ying immediately began arranging his next tasks.

Wang Zhe nodded. As a star contestant, he naturally understood the recording process of the show. Even if Xu Ying didn't say it, he was prepared to do it anyway.

Xu Ying continued, "If you continue to insist on original compositions, give Yang Yangjin a copy of the song in advance..."

After explaining the work arrangements, Xu Ying kicked Wang Zhe out of the office.

……

"Wang Zhe, it's only afternoon, why are you video chatting?"

Looking at Zhang Jingyi on his phone screen, Wang Zhe asked directly, "Have you signed a contract with Dong Shen yet?"

"Not yet? Dong Shen's artist management company hasn't been established yet."

Zhang Jingyi offered an explanation, then asked with a puzzled look in her eyes, "Why are you asking this?"

Wang Zhe breathed a sigh of relief; it wasn't too late yet.

He said seriously, "I want you to sign with Qinghe."

Zhang Jingyi on the phone screen was clearly stunned for a moment. She didn't know what had gotten into Wang Zhe. Originally, she wanted to join Qinghe, but he wouldn't let her.

Now that she has listened to Wang Zhe's advice and made up her mind to join Dong Shen, he tells her to join Qing He.

"Wang Duidui!!! Are you kidding me?!"

Zhang Jingyi narrowed her eyes. "Give me a reason to join Qinghe. Although I haven't signed a contract yet, I've already promised Teacher Zhou Xun."

Wang Zhe knew that given her personality, she wouldn't agree immediately.

Zhang Jingyi may seem quiet and have a gentle personality, but deep down she is an extremely stubborn girl.

"The reason is simple: I want you to join Qinghe. As for Zhou Xun, I'll talk to her about that; don't worry about that."

Zhang Jingyi fell silent for a long time before slowly saying, "I can join Qinghe, but you have to give me an explanation for why you didn't want me to join in the first place. I know your reasons before were all lies to me."

"Okay, I'll tell you when we meet at the start of the semester." Wang Zhe hadn't figured out how to explain it to her yet, so he resorted to procrastination.

Zhang Jingyi shook her head directly, somewhat stubbornly saying, "No, I have to tell you now."

"It's not clear enough to explain over the phone."

"Then I'll come find you. Are you in Shanghai or Beijing right now?" Zhang Jingyi tilted her head and thought for a moment before offering a solution.

Seeing that she was being stubborn, Wang Zhe could only agree: "Since you miss me so much, then come to Shanghai to find me. I'll be back in Shanghai the day after tomorrow."

"Who misses you! Narcissist."

Zhang Jingyi blushed slightly and immediately hung up the video call.

Wang Zhe looked at the phone that had been hung up, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Now that Zhang Jingyi's matter is resolved, let's not worry about who caused the trouble.

He suddenly remembered his girlfriend from his previous life, Zhou Ye, who joined Hesong during her sophomore year of college in 18. Why not just sign with Qinghe directly?

Anyway, he has already changed enough things, he has been reborn, why be afraid of so much?

His reliance was never on the prophetic memories brought by his rebirth, nor on the abilities rewarded by the system.

They are your own parents, and everyone else is just an added bonus.

Wang Zhe finally understood everything.

……

The next day, at 8 PM.

Live broadcast of the seventh episode of "The Coming One".

Today marks the first time the three tracks will compete against each other, and 2 out of 13 contestants will be eliminated.

The rules of the competition weren't just chaotic, they were extremely chaotic.

To put it simply, the two contestants with the lowest popularity are eliminated unless a celebrity mentor comes to their rescue.

The opening performance has ended.

Zhang Doudou stood in the middle of the stage and rattled off the competition rules for a long time, but Wang Zhe didn't understand a single word.

All I know is that I'm the most popular contestant and received a resurrection item, while the contestant with the lowest popularity is the first to perform on stage.

Because the program was broadcast live, he had no interest in the performances on stage.

Except for the virtual human HZ, all the contestants performed with their microphones fully open, which is quite remarkable for these newcomers who haven't even debuted yet.

Apart from a few contestants whose singing skills were comparable to those of karaoke stars, most of the contestants' performances were simply melodramatic and unpleasant.

Yang Mi's "The Power of Love" is better than theirs.

Last time during the live recording, Wang Zhe was the first to finish his performance and then went backstage to rest. Today, however, he could only sit on the side of the stage with the other contestants.

Just as he started picking at his hands out of boredom.

His attention was drawn to Hua Chenyu and Xue Zhiqian's discussion about Hertz.

Finally, there's something funny to watch, otherwise he would have fallen asleep.

After Hertz's performance ended.

Xue Zhiqian looked at it and asked a thought-provoking question: "I don't quite understand its performance."

How should I put it? It's a technological advancement, but today is a competition where all the contestants are singing live, while this is a product of audio editing.

"I think it's unfair."

Xue Zhiqian put it very tactfully, but to put it simply: Why should a piece of trash like it be on this stage?

The question was posed to Hertz's star mentor, Hua Chenyu, whose expression looked as if he had swallowed something terrible.

But he couldn't say anything, and could only rack his brains to make excuses for Hertz.

There was no way around it; he was the top male star at EE-Media, and the show's organizer, Long Danni, was the former president of EE-Media.

He was also doing this to repay Long Danni's favor.

Hertz was entirely a product of the show's producers, created to make it easier to profit from viewers.

The votes for other contestants were mostly from casual fans, but those for Hertz were from the show's sponsors.

The tricks involved will become clear if you look closely.

Wang Zhe wanted to continue watching Xue Zhiqian and Hua Chenyu's discussion on AI in the future!

But Zhang Doudou interrupted her in a joking manner.

Wang Zhe thought to himself, "These guys must have all been paid."

But then I thought about it again and realized that I also get an appearance fee, so it's fine.

As long as it doesn't affect me, it's fine.
