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

Upon hearing this, Meng Xing's excitement froze on his face.

Just rest properly! Why reveal the questions beforehand?

Isn't this forcing everyone to participate?

Meng Xing cursed inwardly.

The host smiled and said, "The topic for the next round of the competition is 'Reincarnation,' so please prepare yourselves in advance."

Upon hearing this proposition, both Jia Yi and Chen Liang began to think.

"At the same time, has anyone noticed something?" the host said. "Now, Guo Lichuan has joined us, so we have one more trainee."

Yu Xiaoxiao continued, "Correspondingly, we'll be missing a lyricist and composer."

"Bingo!" The host snapped his fingers. "And in the next round, we will use a sequential selection method to choose the pairings."

Yu Xiaoxiao enthusiastically asked, "What is the order of selection?"

"The so-called order selection means that, based on the results of this round, the trainees will choose the lyricist and composer in order of their scores."

"For example, if Jin Lan is in first place this time, then Jin Lan will choose the first place. If Qin Yunshang is in second place, then Qin Yunshang will choose the second place. And so on."

Yu Xiaoxiao asked, "In that case, wouldn't one person be left without a choice?"

"Yes, but don't panic." The host said, "Within three days, our class will welcome a new student. This new student is an excellent songwriter, and the student who was not in the lead will be paired with this student."

After a pause, the host continued:

"I cannot reveal the name of that new student to you at the moment. I can only tell you that his skills are also very strong, and he is not among the three songwriters present. If the contestant does not want to choose the current three teachers, he can also choose to give up, and he will automatically choose that mysterious songwriter."

Everyone nodded.

This mechanism is actually quite reasonable; it's much more reasonable than the previous random selection.

After two rounds, the songwriters, composers, and trainees had a general understanding of their abilities.

Only in order to get a good partner in the next round will they be motivated to compete for first place.

Otherwise, it would be fine to just get a low score and pass; why bother striving for first place?

However, this arrangement also has a problem: a high-quality combination might consistently take first place.

Therefore, choosing the right teammates is crucial in this round.

As for the upcoming "new classmate," everyone was also quite curious.

The host said, "Alright, based on this round's rankings, Jin Lan will now choose your partner!"

Jin Lan was still sulking, but when she heard that she was asked to choose her partner, she panicked for a moment.

She really hadn't decided what to choose.

Then, she looked at Chen Liang.

Although her interactions with Chen Liang in these two rounds were very unpleasant...

But judging from the results, choosing him seems to be the optimal solution?

Chen Ya noticed her looking at him and his eyelids twitched.

"What? Haven't you had enough of me? I'm tired too, so don't choose me," Chen Ya said.

Jin Lan was still weighing the pros and cons in her mind, but when she heard Chen Liang say that, she was immediately enraged.

In a fit of anger, she retorted, "Who wants to choose you? I choose Teacher Jia Yi."

The host asked, "Are you sure?"

"OK." Jin Lan nodded.

"Alright!" the host exclaimed, "Then the first pair is decided, Jin Lan and Jia Yi will be the team!"

Chen Ya breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Finally, I don't have to put up with this guy's temper anymore.

He immediately felt relieved.

"Now, the second person to make a choice is Qin Yunshang," the host said. "Please make your choice."

Qin Yunshang crossed her arms and took the microphone.

Chapter 426 I've decided what song to write

"Now, Qin Yunshang, please choose your teammates."

Qin Yunshang took the microphone and said almost without hesitation, "I choose Chen Liang."

After she finished speaking, Chen Ya turned to look at her. Jia Yi looked unwilling, while Meng Xing looked like a defeated dog.

The host then widened his eyes and exclaimed:

"Oh! You chose Chen Liang without hesitation? Are you sure?"

"determine."

After saying that, Qin Yunshang blinked and added:

“I’ve worked with Jia Yi and Meng Xing before, and this time I want to try to see if I can handle a different style.”

This reason sounds impeccable, but it mainly reflects Qin Yunshang's high emotional intelligence; the real reason is obviously not that.

"It seems our Yunshang'er is particularly confident!" the host announced. "Then the second group has been formed! It will consist of Qin Yunshang and Chen Liang!"

This result has no impact on Chen Ya; as long as it's not Jin Lan, it doesn't matter who comes.

However, this combination is quite controversial for viewers in the live stream.

Because of Jin Lan, Chen Ya's popularity with the audience is extremely poor, while Qin Yunshang's popularity is the best.

Many viewers who liked Qin Yunshang but disliked Chen Ya were immediately shocked.

"Why did Yunshang'er choose Chen Liang? Meng Xing would have been a much better choice!"

"Chen Liang came in first in both the first and second rounds. Regardless of his personality, he is currently the strongest dark horse in terms of strength."

"Yes, our Yunshang'er doesn't necessarily think he's good. She just wants to win, and it has nothing to do with his character."

"Come on, Jia Yi has already been chosen by Jin Lan, and Meng Xing and Chen Liang are about the same. If we only look at Chen Liang's grades, then we can only settle for Chen Liang instead."

"Yes, if we can't choose Jia Yi, choosing Chen Liang might be more effective."

"Sigh, I actually hope Jin Lan and Chen Liang can team up again. Their bickering is so funny."

……

Qin Yunshang turned to look at Chen Ya, smiled, her bright eyes and arched eyebrows saying, "Please give me your guidance, Teacher Chen Liang."

Chen Ya glanced at her, showing no particular attitude, and simply said, "Oh."

"..."

Qin Yunshang was unfazed by his coldness, turned her head, and a subtle smile appeared on her lips.

She was second in line for selection this time, and surprisingly, she got a great opportunity.

After these two rounds, Qin Yunshang had already seen through the three people's skills in lyrics and music.

Jia Yi was the most famous and was widely considered the strongest before the competition, but he didn't live up to his reputation.

The one with real ability is Chen Liang.

Not only were the two songs written quickly and well, but the singer also had top-notch connections in Japan.

Instead of clinging to such a powerful and influential figure, Jin Lan foolishly chose Jia Yi. Qin Yunshang thought that Jin Lan was truly ungrateful, not even bothering to pick up gold bricks falling from the sky.

The host continued, "Now, Guo Lichuan, it's your turn to make a choice."

In fact, when it came to Guo Lichuan, he didn't have many choices left.

Either choose Meng Xing, or give up entirely and look forward to the arrival of that mysterious guest.

If none of these people choose Meng Xing, doesn't that mean that anyone else would be better than Meng Xing?

That would offend too many people.

Guo Lichuan also has emotional intelligence; he spoke into the microphone:

"I'm not very secure and prefer things that I can see and touch, so I'll still choose Teacher Meng Xing."

The host laughed and said, "Since Guo Lichuan has chosen Meng Xing, who is visible and tangible, Lu Chujiu will automatically be paired with that mysterious lyricist and composer who is invisible and intangible."

Everyone laughed, and Guo Lichuan stuck out his tongue: "That's not what I meant!"

With all the group assignments completed, the host announced the upcoming live broadcast schedule.

These three days are nominally for rest, but in reality, there are also live streaming tasks.

The plan is to follow those trainees, showing them eating and having fun in Tokyo, and also doing some variety show-like activities.

As for the fourth mysterious lyricist and composer, they will arrive within three days.

Upon exiting the venue, the group discovered that it had started to drizzle in Tokyo, causing ripples to appear on the black asphalt pavement.

The Toyota Coaster that came to pick them up was parked at the entrance of the venue, and everyone got into the car noisily to avoid the rain.

Although everyone seemed to be rushing to get ahead, it was actually based on their status; no one dared to walk in front of Qin Yunshang.

Except for Chen Ya.

Chen Ya nonchalantly squeezed onto the bus in front of Qin Yunshang. Qin Yunshang wasn't angry either; she followed behind him and plopped down next to him.

Rainwater slowly dripped from the car window, then began to flow horizontally after the car started moving.

Chen Ya closed his eyes to rest, and Qin Yunshang glanced at him sideways before pretending to look out the window.

So much happened today, she still hasn't figured it all out.

The biggest mystery is Chen Liang's identity.

How exactly did he get to know those three superstars?

Why did he choose to publicly reveal his relationship with those three people today?

That's right, Qin Yunshang never believed from the beginning that Chen Liang simply wanted those three people to come and sing together.

What a joke! Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? Who would send Shiina Apple and the others over just to sing harmonies?

In Qin Yunshang's view, Chen Liang's main purpose in doing this was to let everyone know that he had someone backing him up.

Chen Liang is so young; it's impossible for him to know three celebrities of this caliber while studying in Japan.

The only explanation for being able to command these three superstars is that they have powerful backers.

Therefore, his actions today are, in fact, a way that is both low-key and arrogant, to inform everyone:

I have powerful backers, so everyone should be more discreet.

On the surface, Chen Liang seems harmless. When he first arrived at the show, he had no connections and was considered an inferior candidate by everyone.

Everyone else was trying their best to showcase themselves. For example, Jia Yi prepared a song in advance, and Meng Xing was a master of pretending to be clueless, feigning that he was bad at songwriting, and then giving you a surprise.

Chen Ya, on the other hand, has always kept a low profile and has never mentioned that he knows Shiina Apple.

Qin Yunshang thought his way of handling things was too low-key. In the entertainment industry, sometimes being too low-key can lead to others taking advantage of you and causing unnecessary trouble.

But now that I think about it, his low-key approach made him seem much better than Jia Yi's high-profile approach.

His public disclosure of his relationships with Shiina Apple, Utada Teru, and Nakajima Miyuki is probably a way of telling everyone in a low-key manner – don't underestimate me.

I am not the inferior horse you think I am.

With this in mind, Qin Yunshang became even more interested in Chen Liang.

This guy's way of expressing himself is so subtle, he has that kind of dullness of an ancient scholar.

However, she found it very interesting.

I just don't know if others have grasped this meaning.

...Just as Qin Yunshang was wildly speculating about Chen Ya's true intentions, Chen Ya rested his head against the car window and slowly fell asleep.

Today was so boring.
