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

"What revival match?" Chen Ya asked.

Qin Yunshang said, "Those who are eliminated will team up again with the lyricist and composer to compete, and whoever wins will be revived. This is the revival competition."

Chen Ya thought for a moment and said, "What if two of our groups are eliminated?"

"The lyricist and composer who wasn't eliminated automatically has a resurrection ability."

Chen Liang nodded, understanding.

Actually, he didn't fully understand either. In short, the elimination rule was that lyricists and composers were noble, and even if they were eliminated, they had a chance to be revived.

Once a trainee is eliminated, they are truly eliminated.

"So you understand now," Qin Yunshang said. "We're not enemies; the trainees are the ones here to get a share of the pie."

Chen Liang said, "If that's the case, then I wouldn't consider them enemies."

"That's why I asked you to come with me." Qin Yunshang blinked.

Chen Ya understood.

This is to use himself as a wingman to provide cover, so as not to be too obvious in trying to find out the truth.

However, she really didn't hold back, as if she knew she would definitely help her with this favor.

However, she was so honest that Chen Ya couldn't even get angry.

“Let’s make a path,” Chen Ya said, “but I can’t guarantee we’ll find out anything.”

Qin Yunshang smiled sweetly and said, "I knew you would agree."

Chen Ya followed behind her, and as they walked, he asked:

Why didn't you let Jia Yi go with you?

Qin Yunshang said, "I'm in the same group as him. It would be a bit too much if we went together."

She paused for a moment, then added, "Besides, he's still busy racking his brains to write songs. Time is precious and can't be wasted."

Chen Ya was both annoyed and amused: "So my time can be wasted?"

"Didn't you finish writing the song a long time ago?" Qin Yunshang pouted. "I saw you having Jin Lan practice singing there yesterday."

"You saw it?" Chen Ya hadn't noticed her coming yesterday.

“I saw it,” Qin Yunshang’s face darkened. “I also saw you playing that weird…play with Jin Lan.”

After saying that, she added, "It's quite colorful."

"What play?" Chen Ya didn't react for a moment, and then blushed with embarrassment after realizing what she was talking about. "You misunderstood."

"It's nothing. These kinds of variety shows are full of handsome men and beautiful women, so it's easy for them to develop relationships. They're all just fleeting romances," Qin Yunshang said. "Just be careful and don't make a big fuss about it."

"It's not what you think..."

It took Chen Ya a long time to convince Qin Yunshang that although his relationship with Jin Lan was murky, it wasn't the kind of murky relationship she thought it was.

After explaining everything, they arrived at the door of the three new trainees.

At this moment, the three trainees were already doing vocal exercises, and they were practicing together.

Seeing this, Chen Ya couldn't help but sigh inwardly. These three trainees were definitely not as harmless as they appeared.

They got up so early to practice, while the singers on their side were still sleeping; their attitude paled in comparison.

Moreover, these three were practicing together and didn't seem to care if the other two knew their secrets. It seems the three were very close and determined to pull the other side down.

"Practicing so early?"

Qin Yunshang walked in with a smile, waving to greet them, and the three boys all turned their heads.

"Sister Yunshang."

"Hello, Sister Yunshang."

The three of them took turns registering their names, which made them seem like they were meeting a gang leader.

"No way, I'm not that old, am I?" Qin Yunshang said with a smile. "You're Qin Weili? I've heard of you."

The boy who was called out smiled, revealing teeth so white they could be used in an advertisement.

"It's such an honor to have Sister Yunshang hear about me. I feel so proud."

Chen Ya sensed that his tone wasn't very sincere. Although he was saying nice things, there was a hint of hypocrisy in his words, which made him dislike him.

Qin Yunshang, however, seemed not to have noticed, and continued to smile brightly, asking:

"Were all your songs pre-written this time? Which teacher did you get to help you write them?"

Qin Weili puffed out his chest involuntarily and said:

"This time, we invited the agency's head composer, Mr. Osamu Kamoda, to compose the music for us."

Upon hearing this name, both Qin Yunshang and Chen Ya were taken aback.

Qin Yunshang immediately asked, "Is it that composer from DADADA?"

“That’s right, it’s him,” Qin Weili said. “We wrote the lyrics ourselves.”

"You can write lyrics?" Qin Yunshang asked curiously.

"With Kamo-sensei's music, the lyrics don't matter anymore," Qin Weili said.

It may be a national talent; Japanese music is quite impressive, especially in composition.

Master composers include Joe Hisaishi and Ryuichi Sakamoto. In the realms of rock and pop music, there are also many who are among the best on a global scale.

Osamu Kamota is a musician who can be considered a minor god-level talent. He composed the ending theme for a recently popular anime.

Even Qin Yunshang knew his name, which was enough to show that he was quite famous.

Qin Yunshang was surprised to hear this name, partly because she didn't expect the production team to go to such lengths.

Is it a bit much to bring out Osamu Kamoda to fight them?

You have to understand, Jia Yi and his team only spent less than three days writing the lyrics, while this side is well-rested and has brought out a composer who is not just an ordinary composer, but a genius. How can we compare to them?

Qin Yunshang began to wonder: Did the production team really not want her to win?

"I'm curious, could you sing me a song?" Qin Yunshang asked.

Qin Weili cleared his throat, preparing to speak, but was pulled back by the person next to him.

"No, Lao Qin, you're such a naive guy, but others might be too. Be a little more careful, okay?"

Qin Yunshang was a little embarrassed and said, "Are you so wary?"

The boy tilted his head back, his eyes sparkling:

“I’m sorry, Miss Qin, you may be a chosen one, destined to stand on the highest stage, but I want to win. Even a guy like me who’s stuck in the mud has the ambition to look up at the stars. To be honest, I want to pull you down.”

"Uh……"

His words were passionate and stirring, but they sounded more like lines from a sentimental idol drama. Qin Yunshang was momentarily speechless and embarrassed.

The boy blinked and continued, "Miss Qin, I hope you understand that we are from two different worlds right now. I really hope that one day these two worlds can get closer together so that we can understand each other."

"……Well."

Qin Yunshang involuntarily took two steps back.

"What's your name?"

"Longfan." The boy looked up at her, squinting at her.

"Alright, alright, Long Fan, right? I'll remember that." Qin Yunshang took two steps back.

"Stop memorizing it," Chen Ya said, pulling her back. "It's useless to memorize it; they'll be eliminated anyway."

Qin Weili glared, and Long Fan smirked. Before they could continue their provocation, Chen Ya pulled Qin Yunshang away.

"What? I haven't finished asking yet!" Qin Yunshang said softly.

Chen Ya said, "Don't ask anymore. I can't just stand by and watch them act out an idol drama in front of me, can I?"

"What idol drama?"

Chen Ya said, "That Long Fan, doesn't he seem like the kind of rebellious and domineering male protagonist? Qin Weili, on the other hand, is the gentle type."

Qin Yunshang thought for a moment, then chuckled and said, "It really does look a bit like it."

Chen Ya shook his head, still unable to shake off that cloying feeling from his heart.

However, looking at his back, I suddenly felt uncomfortable on the other side.

"Who is that?" Long Fan asked, frowning.

"I don't know," Qin Weili shook his head, "but anyway, she's not in the same group as Yun Chang'er."

"How come people who aren't in the same group are so familiar with each other? And... and even touching each other inappropriately," Long Fan said, his tone tinged with a hint of sourness.

“I listened to the songs he wrote,” said Guo Lichuan, who was squatting on the ground nearby. “‘Plum Jam’ is a pop song with no depth.”

"You can even appreciate music?" Qin Weili frowned.

"That's what everyone's saying online," Guo Lichuan said.

Long Fan watched Qin Yunshang being pulled away and disappearing at the end of the corridor, feeling a pang of sadness in his heart.

It felt like when you were in school, and the girl you had a crush on was playfully teasing and laughing with her male classmate.

It's supposed to be a movie for three people, but I'm not part of the story.

"Just wait, I'll definitely eliminate you all and then stand next to her..."

Unbeknownst to anyone, this sentiment kept swirling in their mind.

Chapter 420 Three Japanese Women

"Ah Zhen fell in love with Ah Qiang on a starry night..."

Jin Lan's voice echoed lonely in the karaoke room, like clumsy fingers touching all the surrounding walls, but finding no kindred spirit.

Suddenly, the singing stopped, and the snow-white manuscript paper hit the wall with a crisp sound, then scattered in all directions.

"I can't stand it! What kind of lyrics are these?!"

This was the second day of Jinlan's training, and also the 2000th time she had repeated this lyric.

She finally snapped and angrily threw the lyric book down.

What era are we living in? How can there still be such outdated songs?!

There were only four lines of lyrics in total. She sang them over and over again for two days and felt like she was being brainwashed by Ah Zhen and Ah Qiang.

When she saw Chen Liang produce the song in just half an hour, she was a little skeptical, wondering if Chen Liang was a hidden master who could write songs so quickly.

Looking back now, I realize I was too naive.

Jia Yi could probably write a dozen songs like this in half an hour!

The previous song, "Plum Jam," was also a catchy pop song, but the lyrics showed that it was actually quite good.

This time, the lyrics resulted in an elementary school student's essay.

Chen Liang isn't incapable of writing lyrics with some depth, so why is he so perfunctory this time!

Jin Lan suspected that he was giving up, didn't want to play anymore, and was just writing a random song to get by.

He probably felt that he could no longer beat Jia Yi and Meng Xing, and that even if he worked hard to write songs, there would still be no future for him, so winning or losing the competition didn't matter.

Jin Lan cried out in her heart: Big brother, you may not care, but I do!

You don't want to improve anymore, but I still want to make a name for myself in the entertainment industry!

Or there's another possibility—that pop songs like "Plum Jam" represent Chen Liang's peak.

Jin Lan guessed that although Chen Liang said he hadn't prepared a song in advance, he had actually prepared one secretly.

Maybe he had already written "Plum Jam" a long time ago, and polished it countless times. He was just reciting it from memory on the show.

So now the production team has changed their approach and given them a topic to write a song, which Chen Liang can't do.

Otherwise, look at this era, still having "Ah Zhen fell in love with Ah Qiang" here, it's just unbelievable.

Jin Lan looked at the empty karaoke room, sighed, and bent down to pick up the manuscript paper on the floor.
