I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

Qin Yunshang said, "I know him very well. When I was a child, I called him Uncle Jin. I was thinking that since you two have the same surname, you must know each other."

She didn't expose him on the surface, but she secretly thought to herself, "This Jin Lan, she can't even lie properly."

As the second young lady of the Qin family, what kind of relationships does she not know in the company? It's just a matter of a phone call. Jin Wei is Jin Lan's own uncle. How could she possibly keep it a secret?

She had already done her research. Of her two rivals, Jin Lan had a powerful background, while Lu Chujiu had solid fundamentals. They were both there to support her, but they were still among the best of their generation.

She knew everyone else's information, but she couldn't find any information about Chen Liang; he seemed like a rather mysterious person.

Just then, Yu Xiaoxiao stretched and entered the restaurant. Seeing the three of them, she decisively walked over.

Today, the woman was wearing a pink tank top with a large opening at the chest, revealing a large area of ​​her pink and white cleavage, like mountain ranges.

"Good morning, sisters," Yu Xiaoxiao said casually as she came over and sat down next to the three of them. "How awful! The restaurant here serves food on a set schedule. I just finished dancing and didn't even have time to shower before I came here."

The three of them immediately called out "Teacher Yu" and "Sister Xiaoxiao," but Yu Xiaoxiao quickly waved her hand.

"It's not time for the show now, so please relax outside of it. I'm about the same age as you, so I feel a bit embarrassed."

After saying that, she turned to look at Jin Lan beside her, sighed, and said:

"Oh dear, you and Chen Liang really had a tough time yesterday..."

Qin Yunshang was taken aback and asked, "What happened to them yesterday?"

Yu Xiaoxiao was also taken aback. She hadn't expected them to be unaware of this. She hesitated, unsure whether to speak up or not, and simply laughed it off. She then quietly asked Jin Lan:

"You two... got along well last night?"

"It went quite well later," Jin Lan said. "I just feel quite envious of Yunshang and Chujiu; they seem so relaxed."

Yu Xiaoxiao laughed: "Being relaxed isn't necessarily a good thing..."

The girls sat at one table, while the boys were all absent because they had generally gotten up early and had already eaten.

At this moment, Chen Ya, Meng Xing, and Jia Yi were all lying on the deck, looking at the sea.

Meng Xing lit a cigarette, puffing out smoke rings that overlapped with the sun, creating a feeling of a misty fairyland at sea.

Men are not as scheming and manipulative as women, and their words are full of hidden agendas.

But they didn't say much. The three of them finished their meal and sat here to cool off. Almost twenty minutes had passed, and not a single one of them had uttered a word.

Finally, Meng Xing flicked his finger, and the cigarette butt flew in a parabolic arc into the sea. He turned his head, as if he had finished pondering a major question, and asked:

"Which of these girls do you find most attractive?"

"what?"

Chen Ya was taken aback.

I never expected this topic to exist.

It feels like I'm back in my college dorm.

Jia Yi immediately chimed in, "Gold and Blue."

Meng Xing snapped his fingers: "Great minds think alike."

Jia Yi leaned on the railing and said, "Those legs are truly captivating, with full thighs and long calves."

Meng Xing continued, "She's hot enough too, you know? It's the kind of girl with a bit of arrogance who's the most satisfying to conquer."

Chen Ya stopped them, saying, "Wait, wait, wait. In terms of looks and figure, Qin Yunshang is definitely the best, isn't she?"

Unexpectedly, both men looked at him with disdain. Meng Xing said:

"Do you really think you can get your hands on Qin Yunshang? Who do you think you are?"

Chen Ya paused.

Meng Xing continued, "Don't think about it. Qin Yunshang is not from the same social class. When we make our evaluation, we subconsciously exclude her."

“Oh, I see,” Chen Ya said. “In that case, I choose Yu Xiaoxiao.”

"Depend on!"

Jia Yi gave him a thumbs up and said, "You're not going to follow the usual path. In that case, I'll choose Yu Xiaoxiao too. Yu Xiaoxiao has a better figure."

"Yes, that's amazing."

After speaking, Jia Yi and Meng Xing shook hands. Meng Xing said:

"The second most popular, I've long admired your name, I didn't expect you to be a fellow enthusiast."

"Not at all, Meng Xing, the genius, is also a household name."

After greeting him, Meng Xing turned around and shook hands with Chen Ya:

"Hey bro, when did you debut? I've never heard of you before."

Chen Ya smiled slightly: "It's normal that you haven't heard of me. I was originally an unknown person and never debuted before."

Jia Yi leaned against the railing, glancing at him, seemingly lost in thought.

Meng Xing said, "Dude, I'm really envious of you. Being in a group with Jin Lan, you must be lucky to see that!"

Chen Ya said, "Don't even mention it. Jin Lan can't sing, and I'm so angry I'm blind. How can I bear to look at her? I'd rather look at Qin Yunshang more."

"Hey bro! You can't look at that! You'll go blind if you look at it too much!"

Chen Ya asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Qin Yunshang isn't ugly, is she?"

"No, someone gouged out my eyes, you know?" Meng Xing said, still shaken. "Yesterday I didn't dare look at her at all. Offending the Qin family, do you even want to live?"

"I don't think it's that exaggerated..."

Jia Yi stared at him for a long time before suddenly asking, "Do you have some kind of relationship with him?"

Chen Ya looked up at him: "What?"

Jia Yi's tone was off, and Meng Xing realized the atmosphere was a bit off, so he stepped aside and stood to the side, adopting an attitude of watching from the sidelines.

Jia Yi said, "The original choice was Guo Xiaoran, me, and Meng Xing. We have always been known as the three rising stars."

"so what?"

Jia Yi said, "I thought that after Guo Xiaoran left, Pang Zulin or Jian Huaichen would take his place so that their fame would be equal. But it turns out that you came instead. To be honest, I was quite surprised."

Chen Ya laughed and looked at him, saying, "What, you're not convinced?"

"..."

Jia Yi was rendered speechless by those words and didn't know how to respond.

After being stuck in traffic for a long time, he finally caught his breath and said:

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied, it's just strange. According to the company's strategy, they won't assign songwriters of different levels unless they are exceptionally talented."

Everyone knows that this trip was to accompany Qin Yunshang to study, but back then she was an idol trainee, not a songwriter.

The songwriters and composers need to be exceptionally talented, otherwise they won't be able to carry the show or produce a successful variety program.

For example, the requirement to complete a song in four days this time, despite Meng Xing's exaggerated claims, was actually just for the sake of the show and was not a challenge for him at all.

Four days is enough to write four songs, let alone one, as long as the arrangement team can keep up with the production capacity.

Jia Yi's meaning was also very clear: he was curious why the company would make such a foolish move, letting Chen Ya, who was unknown, compete with the two of them on the same stage.

Chen Ya sensed the provocation, turned to look at him, and said softly:

"strength?"

"Who doesn't?"

Meng Xing clapped his hands and said, "666... ​​Brother, confidence is the key to success!"

Jia Yi pursed his lips.

If you truly have the ability, you won't be unknown; if you have the ability, you'll definitely have some fame.

A famous person may not necessarily have ability, but a person with no fame at all definitely has no ability.

Moreover, Chen Liang doesn't yet have any noteworthy works to his name.

Jia Yi stood up and said, "Actually, I've met many songwriters who think they're not popular because they don't have good audience appeal or feel unappreciated. I hope you don't fall into that misconception. Of course, I'm just reminding you."

After saying that, he went into the cabin without saying anything more.

Meng Xing walked over and whispered, "Actually, Jia Yi is quite right. Although this industry isn't so cutthroat, success or failure depends on income. Whoever makes more money is right."

Chen Ya looked at him for a while, not knowing what to say, so he could only nod and say, "I agree."

The short morning break passed quickly, and the entire morning and afternoon were working hours.

Going to work is torture for everyone, but it is especially torture for Chen Ya, because it almost exhausted his patience to train Jin Lan, a long-legged but brainless tone-deaf girl.

Chen Ya is the type of person whose standards are slightly higher than average, while Jin Lan is the type of person whose talent is significantly less than that of the average idol.

Combining these two elements creates a combination that defies the odds. The two of them would practice until one or two in the morning every day before Chen Ya would agree to go to sleep.

Therefore, the night owl viewers in the live broadcast room are in luck, as they can watch Jin Lan every night. This "inspirational duo" has also quietly become popular online and even made it onto the hot list for a while, reaching as high as the twentieth place.

After that, Jia Yi didn't say anything more to Chen Liang. Chen Liang stayed up so late every day, and he thought that what he said had worked and inspired him. This is the early bird catches the worm.

Jia Yi was a typical believer in talent. Although he secretly despised Chen Liang, he didn't show it on his face, but he also wouldn't laugh at Chen Liang for doing useless work.

He didn't know that the reason they stayed up all night was because Jin Lan was tone-deaf.

Perhaps the company deliberately chose to do the project outside of typhoon season, or perhaps Qin Yunshang was just naturally lucky, with good fortune always on her side. The sea was calm, and the cruise ship continued to move at full speed.

Four days passed quickly, and Tokyo Bay appeared before everyone as promised.

We've arrived in Japan.

Chapter 413 Forgotten

The cruise ship slowly docked and entered its berth. Everyone on board looked on with longing, wishing they could jump off immediately.

It was my first time on a cruise ship, and it was really exciting. But once the novelty wore off, all that was left was seasickness. I couldn't sleep well, and I had to practice singing every day. If this voyage went on for a few more days, I'd go crazy.

"Sky Tree!" Jinlan shouted to the shore.

Qin Yunshang also cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted, "Tokyo Tower!"

Both of them shouted, and Lu Chujiu stood awkwardly in place for three seconds before shouting back:

"Akihabara!"

"Ok?"

Jin Lan and Qin Yunshang both looked at her. Lu Chujiu panicked a little and stammered, "W-what's wrong?"

Qin Yunshang said, "I feel that you have quite a few facets."

"..." Lu Chujiu's face fell, and she lowered her head, trying to find a way to get off the boat.

Chen Ya and the others followed behind. Seeing the girls shouting, Meng Xing joined in and shouted too:

"Kabukicho!"

"Eek!"

Qin Yunshang turned around abruptly, looking at him with disdain, but Meng Xing said matter-of-factly, "What's wrong? It's a tourist attraction too!"

I never expected you to be this kind of person!

Behind Meng Xing, Chen Ya said lazily, "You sound like a new driver when you call it that. You'd be more like saying 'Okubo Park'."

"What do you mean?" Meng Xing turned his head and asked.

"What era are we living in? Still in Kabukicho?" Chen Ya said. "Are you going to spend tens of thousands of yuan to have a girl feed you tea?"

Meng Xing understood and stammered, "Is that so? I heard there are quite a few projects, aren't there?"

“That’s not legal,” Chen Ya instructed the new driver. “Going inside to be a sucker will only make you realize how bad it is once you’ve been scammed. It’s better to go to Okubo Park just a street away. There are teachers all over the place where you can learn Japanese.”

"Huh?" Meng Xing was stunned by the new worldview.

"The economy of studying abroad has been sluggish these past few years, but the quality of teachers near the park has been steadily improving. If you're interested, I can take you for a stroll. Of course, it's just a stroll."

Meng Xing asked in a low voice, "Chen Liang, how do you know so much? Have you been here?"

Chen Ya thought for a while before remembering the self-description he had given himself, and said, "I studied in Tokyo before."

"senior!"
