At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

"!!!"

The maids were horrified upon hearing this!

"Young Miss, we were wrong."

"We really, really know we were wrong."

Jiang Yuezhu's face turned ashen, and she immediately bowed her head in apology, repeatedly saying that it was her fault.

Yu tide scoffed and said disdainfully, "I can give you a chance if you make a mistake once, but this is the last time."

You must remember that the contract states "Take good care of Su Che and treat his needs as my orders." Therefore, this includes, but is not limited to, housework, meals, emotional support, and handling his needs. In addition, his safety is of course a top priority.

In other words, you injured him, so it wouldn't be unreasonable for me to deduct a year's salary from your paychecks, understand?

"Understood, Miss. We completely understand. From now on, we will actively follow the young master, going wherever he goes, secretly protecting him, and constantly asking him if he needs any special services. Please forgive our ignorance, Miss."

Faced with a salary of 3 yuan * 16 months, no one can resist such a temptation.

The maids were all quite good-looking, but compared to working themselves to the bone outside, the luxurious mansion job offered by the young lady was definitely more suitable for everyone.

每天上班6小时，三班倒——早班是6点到12点，晚班是12点到18点，夜班是18点到第二天早上6点，一个月调休8天。

Such a perfect job, earning around 50 yuan a year, is a top-tier job that even with connections, it's not guaranteed you can find.

If an ordinary person wanted to get this kind of job, they would probably have to join a top-tier maid and domestic service training institution in high society, such as "Black and White Heart," a large enterprise founded by the Lu family conglomerate, and then train for several years before taking on small jobs and gradually climbing up to this level.

Right now, following the young lady means a meteoric rise to power. Who wouldn't want to cling to such an offer?

Even if it means losing something important, you still have to fight for it.

After hearing the young lady's reprimand, the maids, including the head maid, completely changed their previously nonchalant expressions.

It turned into greed.

Someone glanced furtively towards the master bedroom, licked their lips, and...

A dangerous glint of scheming flashed in his eyes...

-

……

Yu tide quickly entered the main hall.

I met with the temporary head of the household, the landlady UU.

As a landlord, she has to take responsibility when something happens to her tenant; there's no escaping that.

"Wu You, it's been a long time. I didn't expect that you would rather stay at your place than come home with me for some warmth."

Enemies meeting are bound to be filled with hatred.

Yu tide sneered, trying to pin the blame on the witch cat in front of her.

Who is the Witch Cat?

Never one to suffer a loss, she immediately retaliated—

"Isn't that because I earned my house with my own hard work? I feel more at ease and secure sleeping in a house like this, don't you think?"

"!you……!"

As the saying goes, every creature has its counter. The Queen Cat is no match for the Witch Cat. From childhood to adulthood, she has been suppressed by UU. Whether it's playing the piano or her business acumen, she has been thoroughly outmatched.

The only thing I can really offer is...

Her legs are longer than hers, her skin is whiter, her face is prettier, her breasts are more bouncy, her temperament is more noble, her family is wealthier, her hair is shinier, her body scent is better, and she's a tiny bit more adventurous than her.

But regardless of the circumstances, the fact that Su Che chose to stay at her house instead of his own already speaks volumes.

Yu tide has always had a competitive spirit, and she indeed overcame all obstacles on her musical journey, enjoying a smooth and successful childhood.

Until she met UU... she finally understood what it meant to be outmatched by others and to have a world beyond your reach.

"Instead of blaming me, you should think carefully about what you can offer your little fan. At least I put in the effort to save her, while you've been busy outside and only just found out the whole story now."

Yu tide, I'm not trying to be mean, but "Seven Colors" is about to face a big test. If you can't lead your fans to victory, then I have a suggestion—

After the defeat, hand him over to me, shall we? How about it?

"?"

“I’ll lead him forward. I have a stronger team, more performance experience, and a wider network of opportunities. If he follows me, he will definitely reach new heights. What do you think?”

At this moment, a cold wind blew through the main hall, enveloping the young lady's frail body.

The maids followed behind without saying a word, while Miya and Asai Suzune were resting on the sofa, showing no intention of getting involved in the conflict between the two.

The air instantly became tense, as if swords were about to be drawn.

"I will lead him to victory."

After a few breaths, Yu tide took a deep breath and calmly said:

"It's just the qualifying rounds, and the opponents might not be as strong as you think. As long as we get through the first round, we can still buy ourselves three months to develop."

By then, I'll keep a close eye on my junior, making sure he doesn't get distracted by any unwanted attention. The "Seven Colors" talent is at its peak right there.

"Really? Then good luck! I've heard that there are quite a few tough contenders among this year's band seeds."

By the way, your little fan's current state might not be what you expected, so you'd better be mentally prepared, haha.

UU chuckled and then beckoned with her small hand, leading Asai Suzune, who had already prepared her luggage and instrument case, towards the door.

It looks like they're going on a new round of live tours.

Yu tide watched the witch cat's retreating figure, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

This feeling of being kept in the dark and suppressed was not good. She was already thinking about whether she should tell her father directly that she would not live at home anymore and would move here to live.

Although it's a bit inconvenient to get around on weekdays, the advantage is that I can get up close and personal with my juniors every day, right?

Simply having the maids watch over the junior is too likely to cause problems.

Hmm... I need to think of something.

Just as Yu tide was pondering what to do and was about to go inside to check on Su Che, the mailbox by the door made another sound.

"Hello, Nifeng Express!"

She looked around and saw a deliveryman riding a black electric delivery scooter handing an envelope-like object to the maid waiting at the door.

The maid trotted towards me with the envelope, and a dozen seconds later, she presented it to me with utmost respect.

— "Mosse Endorsement Competition: Schedule"

Sender: Mu Xia.

The words that caught Yu tide's eye made her heart skip a beat.

She knew that Ms. Mu Xia was the current head of the Mu family enterprise, the largest musical instrument manufacturing family in Tianhai City, and was also the top pianist in Tianhai City 20 years ago. The group she participated in, "Flowers and Green", was popular throughout Tianhai and had countless fans. She was the dream goddess of the older generation of musicians, a figure at the very top of the pyramid.

He has now retired from the front lines and no longer appears in the public eye, only occasionally making an appearance when the second competition is held.

Yu tide solemnly accepted the envelope and, on behalf of the members of "Seven Colors," carefully opened it.

Generally speaking, the so-called competition schedule is usually the fixed schedule for the matches.

In other words, all the information about your opponents will be written in there.

On the first day, which team will we be playing against? What's their name? What's their team composition? Who are their members?

All of these must be made public; there is no room for falsification.

Releasing the competition schedule to the musicians at this crucial juncture is the official way to let everyone know about the enemy in the final days, thus increasing the intensity of the competition.

After all, focusing solely on oneself is like reinventing the wheel; sometimes, just seeing the opponent's name is enough to forfeit the match...

Because the opponents you're likely to be matched with are not necessarily "evenly matched"...

For a rookie team that's just here to see the world, if they encounter a team like the Silver Traveler right away, they basically know before they even get on stage that their team will be blown away.

Yu tide nervously pulled out the cardboard inside.

As you can see, the names of all 128 registered teams are prominently displayed on the full-color tree diagram.

The preliminary rounds consist of two rounds. A 2-0 victory will directly advance you to the top 32, where you will await the semi-finals in December.

十二月是32进8，然后年后的决赛是8进4、4进2、2进1，以及「隐藏节目」。

Yu tide looked at the competition schedule carefully, her gaze sweeping over the "hidden programs," wondering what they represented.

However, considering the final matter now was obviously a bit too far off, so she looked down and began searching for her team's name.

"let me see……"

At that moment, Yuan Xiao and Gu Zhi, who had just come out of the room, also came over. They had also heard the deliveryman's voice, so they guessed that something important might be happening.

Apart from An Qing, who was still in the master bedroom under the pretense of taking care of Che Che, the rest of the Qi Cai group had gathered around Yu Xi, waiting for the answer to be revealed.

Soon, Yu tide found several names that she recognized from the long list.

"Oh? The 'Silver Traveller' is in Group D! But we don't seem to be in it."

"Looks like Group D is the group of death..."

Gu Zhi complained, "The teams that make it into Group D will probably have a hard time coming out alive."

"Um...wait a minute, isn't this...that guy?"

Yu tide frowned. "The two from 'Buddha' are here too, in Group A."

"Oh, those two guitarists, are we going to run into them?"

"I think I want it."

Yu tide nodded and saw her name at the other end of Group A.

“If Buddha wins, and we win too, then we’ll meet in the second round. But in the first round… our opponent seems to be called ‘Paradise’…”

"paradise?"

Xiao Xiao held her notebook, thought for a long time, and realized that she had no recollection of this team.

"Who are the members? Are they good?" Yuan Xiao asked curiously.

"Wait a minute, let me read the introduction."
