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

Previously, Jia Yi wasn't worried about how Jin Lan sang; he was in seclusion preparing for the next song.

The result was that the topic was completely different from the previous song, and had nothing to do with it at all.

In other words, all the previous preparations were in vain.

The key point is that Guo Xiaoran's topic was revealed by Jin Wei, not by the production team.

He could only swallow this bitter pill.

At this moment, Guo Xiaoran shouted in his heart:

Who the hell changed the question?!

...In the studio, Qin Yunchu crossed her long legs and slowly took a sip of coffee.

The fragrance lingers on the lips and teeth.

She changed it.

That's right. "Cute little animals" was the theme Qin Yunchu came up with in three seconds.

She was quite satisfied.

Qin Yun Chu's face flushed slightly.

Chapter 444 is trending again.

That's right, it's the icy beauty, the young lady of the Qin family, the domineering female CEO—Little President Qin—who changed the theme.

It was also changed to "cute little animals".

The original theme was "Kill the Wolf," which was Jin Wei's idea. However, Jin Wei left. With the change of emperors, a new court was formed. Qin Yun took office, and who knows if the predecessor might have planted any hidden dangers?

So as soon as she took office, she waved her hand and ordered the house to be cleaned before hosting guests! Everything was changed! She changed all the rules left by Jin Wei, including the theme of this round.

When the director asked her what the theme should be changed to, she was scrolling through cute pet videos on Douyin and casually said "cute little animals".

She regretted it as soon as she said it. The topic was completely out of character for her; it was rather silly and cute. If Chen Ya found out, he would probably look at her strangely.

But the words are already spoken, so be it, no changing them. Anyway, no one can do anything about it.

This was just one of countless small things in Qin Yun Chu's life, and she quickly forgot about it. But for Jia Yi and Guo Xiao Ran, it was like a bolt from the blue, profoundly changing their lives.

Jia Yi and Guo Xiaoran have been focusing all their efforts on the "Sha Po Lang" theme these past few days. The song has already been written and they've been polishing and perfecting it. But then you suddenly tell me that the theme has been changed to "cute little animals"?

If it were changed to something else, just a change to the lyrics, it would still be usable. But this title is just too outrageous. It's not just about animals, it's about "small" animals, and they're "cute." It has absolutely nothing to do with the movie "Sha Po Lang."

Not only do you have to change the lyrics, but you also have to change the melody, rearrange the music, and change the structure... It's almost like rewriting a song.

What I did before wasn't exactly a waste of effort, but it was completely useless.

Of the three, Meng Xing was the only one who escaped unharmed.

Because he was too arrogant, even if he knew the theme of the next song, he didn't start preparing at all, so he escaped a disaster.

Meanwhile, Jia Yi and Guo Xiaoran's hearts quietly crumbled amidst this sudden change.

As soon as they returned to the hotel, Jia Yi stormed into Guo Xiaoran's room in a rage, and Guo Xiaoran couldn't stop him in time.

"Tell me what happened!" Jia Yi lowered his voice, but couldn't suppress the anger in it. "I treated you like a brother, and you betrayed me like this!?"

Guo Xiaoran said awkwardly, "Don't block the doorway, come inside and talk."

Jia Yi closed the door, crossed his arms, and looked at him with a cold smile, his eyes seeming as if he had never truly understood this person.

Guo Xiaoran wiped his sweat and explained, "I know you're angry, but I'm a victim in this too! They changed the questions without telling me!"

Jia Yi then sneered and said, "Keep lying, keep lying. Does the production team dare to treat the guests like this? Do you think I'll believe that?"

Guo Xiaoran was speechless with embarrassment—his question wasn't leaked by the production team at all, but by Jin Wei.

But he couldn't tell Jia Yi this, because that would be tantamount to handing Jia Yi a handle on him.

Guo Xiaoran sighed, pulled Jia Yi to his desk, and said:

"Come here, look, this is my original manuscript, the theme is 'Kill the Wolf,' try playing it? Do you think I haven't been fooled?"

Jia Yi checked his original manuscript and frowned, saying, "Then why didn't you argue with the production team back then? If this happened to me, I would definitely have caused a live broadcast accident."

Guo Xiaoran said in a pretentious tone, "There's no need. I know they're playing me, so I'll just change accordingly. If I make a scene, wouldn't I just become a laughingstock?"

Jia Yi thought for a moment, frowned, threw down the manuscript, and said, "Wait a minute, you're hiding something from me! When did you become so magnanimous? How am I supposed to know if you've prepared another piece of music?"

Guo Xiaoran raised his eyebrows, crossed his arms, and said, "I've been so open and honest with you, and you still don't believe me. Then we have no choice but to sever ties."

Upon hearing this, Jia Yi laughed in anger and said, "Fine, fine, you tricked me and now you're cutting ties with me, huh? Okay, fine, Guo Xiaoran, I've seen through you today. You just wait!"

Guo Xiaoran pursed her lips and remained silent, while Jia Yi angrily left, slamming the door behind her.

Meng Xing happened to be standing outside the door when he saw Jia Yi storm into Guo Xiaoran's room and then see him walk away angrily. Jia Yi didn't even greet Meng Xing when they bumped into each other on the way.

He sighed.

He knew what Jia Yi was angry about, but he wasn't as furious as Jia Yi. He hadn't really lost anything, and even if he had been deceived by Guo Xiaoran, he would just add that person to his blacklist in his mind.

As for the truth? He didn't need to delve into it. In any case, he would never believe any of this person's claims afterward, so there was no point in investigating it; it would only be a waste of his emotions.

The only thing that made him sigh was that in the entertainment industry, a place of fame and fortune, friendship is indeed a luxury.

Yesterday, the three of them were drinking and chatting happily, but in the blink of an eye, their friendship has fallen apart. This fake friendship is truly fragile and easily broken.

It's quite heartbreaking.

Perhaps, it would be better to be like Chen Liang, living a life of seclusion, not mingling in circles, and quietly doing one's own thing.

On the other side, Chen Ya returned to the hotel and was taking out his room card to enter when he caught a glimpse of Jin Lan standing behind him waiting for him.

The girl was still wearing her performance outfit, a simple black strapless top covering her chest, revealing her collarbone, cleavage, abs, and long legs—a stark white expanse that made it hard to look closely.

This outfit looks alright from a distance on stage, but up close it's quite striking.

Chen Ya immediately turned her head and said, "I know what you want to say, but you don't need to say it, and you don't need to fawn over me, and you don't need to dress up as a catgirl and come over to meow. I don't want to hear it. Let me calm down."

Jin Lan frowned, stepped forward, and said, "But..."

Before she could even speak, Chen Ya slammed the door shut right in front of her.

"But I just wanted to thank you!"

These words were spoken to the door, and all that responded to her was silence.

From childhood to adulthood, Jinlan has always been a pretty girl, and no one has ever treated her like this before—cold and hard, like a rock in a latrine.

Chen Liang didn't fawn over her like other men, which initially annoyed her, but she's slowly getting used to it.

Now, after being turned away again, she felt no emotion at all. She even vaguely felt that Chen Liang's rough treatment of her was not without a certain masculinity.

"Remember to contact me when you've finished writing the song. I'll practice diligently and definitely won't waste your time!"

Jin Lan called out again from the doorway, but there was still no response from inside. It seemed that Jin Lan was determined to ignore her today. Jin Lan didn't care. She frowned, pouted, stomped her foot, and turned to leave.

On the other side of the door, Chen Ya took out his phone and saw a smiling emoji sent to him by a difficult Japanese young lady he had been waiting for a message from for three days.

Ruriko Asai: "Is your motivation for survival to keep hitting on the women around you? (laughs) You're just like an animal, or in other words, livestock (laughs)."

Upon seeing the message, Chen Ya smiled slightly and leaned against the door.

Finally, they took the bait.

No matter how bad her mood is right now, at least she sent him a message.

Chen Ya edited a message and sent it back: "You misunderstood. By the way, did you receive the gift I sent you the day before yesterday? Did you like it?"

Another message came through very quickly:

"I want to see you, within 24 hours."

After so many days and so many methods, I never expected that Jinlan would be the one to work in the end.

……

The next day, the new round of competition songs for "Idol Producer" were released on major music platforms.

This time, Qin Yunshang and Chen Liang's songs had no copyright disputes, and with Qin Yunchu in charge, the efficiency doubled, and all the songs were online overnight.

Upon its release, "I Remember" exploded in various metrics, with over 10 comments in just one day.

In the comments section of this song, many people came to check in and write down their own stories.

"On the 36th day of my glioma treatment, my husband has been by my side the whole time. I believe I will get better, and I believe we will meet again in the next life!"

“When Yunshang’er sang this song, I had a very different feeling. After listening to Teacher Ren’s explanation, I realized that it was dedicated to her mother. My mother passed away when I was young, and I don’t know what it will be like when we meet again. Thank you Yunshang’er, thank you Chen Liang!”

"Waaaaah, I really want Yun Shang'er and Chen Liang to collaborate again! This song really touched me. It's a pity they don't know how many more opportunities they'll have to work together. [crying emoji]"

"Those who said Chen Liang only writes cheesy pop songs, step forward! Stand up and take your punishment! You only dare to blindly follow the trend of hating and don't dare to admit your mistakes, huh!"

“I admit that I did say before that Chen Liang’s songs were not good, but I think this time it was a lucky coincidence. Jia Yi’s previous song was also a folk song, and Chen Liang must have been inspired by it to some extent.”

"I didn't expect there to still be die-hard fans of Jia Yi these days? Jia Yi is so amazing, he must have ranked very high this time, right? Oh, he's about to be eliminated?"

……

When there are too many people, arguments are inevitable, especially in competitive variety shows like this, where fans from different groups often clash.

Besides "I Remember," Jin Lan and Jia Yi's song was also released on the platform, but its popularity was far less than that of "I Remember," and it barely garnered a thousand comments in half a day.

Moreover, the style of the comments is:

"A car accident scene ahead. Please observe with parental supervision."

"Is the production team preserving evidence? They're being too honest by showing this on set."

However, Jia Yi's fans certainly wouldn't let this situation continue, so they flooded the song with comments, suppressing the original negative reviews.

Newcomers who didn't know the facts thought this song represented the highest level of the show.

...Li Mengyao sat in the bedroom, holding her laptop in her arms, biting her fingers.

I'm so angry.

As an ordinary office worker, watching the variety show "Idol Producer" is one of her few hobbies.

She's a remnant of the old era, and the young actresses of today don't know her. They don't really recognize names like Yun Shang'er or Jia Yi.

Her favorite singer is Jiang Xinhai, and her favorite lyricist and composer is Zhichi. She only watched the show after hearing the program team's promotion that Jia Yi, "the second Zhichi," would be participating.

After watching the show, she found herself preferring the character Chen Liang.

Previously, "Plum Jam" was considered a catchy pop song, but she thought it was alright. Her later song "Ah Zhen Fell in Love with Ah Qiang" was also very funny.

If the previous two songs only made her feel a little goodwill towards the lyricist and composer, then this song, "I Remember," truly won her over.

Not only did it make her a fan of Chen Liang, it also made her a fan of Qin Yunshang. Before, she thought Qin Yunshang was just a capitalist's overhyped child, but after listening to "I Remember," she realized that Qin Yunshang really had something special about her.

As soon as she became a fan of this couple, she encountered a frustrating situation—she was attacked by Jia Yi's fans!

She was just an ordinary person watching the show, not involved in the entertainment industry, and unaware that Jia Yi's fans considered Chen Liang their mortal enemy, someone they would never forgive.

She commented under Jin Lan and Jia Yi's song: "Don't hype it up so much, it's clearly not as good as 'I Remember'."

Then Jia Yi's fans took turns organizing group activities for him!

In just a few minutes, she was besieged by Jia Yi's fans, who created over forty comments. She had just checked her phone and saw many red dots, thinking she had become famous, but it turned out she was being attacked online.

"Chen Liang fans, get lost! This is Jia Yi's song. If you want to brag about your dad, go brag on your own turf. Don't go around being a jerk!"

"Seriously, I've never seen such a shameless company, trying to gain traffic by engaging in online scams everywhere, as if they're afraid everyone won't know about their master. It's disgusting."

“I advise some of Chen Liang’s fans not to bring trouble to their idol. Which songwriter hasn’t had a peak period? If you’re lucky enough to write a good song and then jump on the bandwagon, be careful you don’t fall hard later.”

Li Mengyao was furious. Ever since she helped Jiang Xinhai by ranking him on the charts and gave Li Xingliang's fans a hard slap in the face, she had never touched the fan circle again.

I never expected her to encounter such a terrible thing here.

She carefully chose her words and replied in the comments section:

"What the heck? I'm just a listener, I'm not a fan of anyone, and I can't even say it's bad? Is this some kind of cult-like event?"

Soon, she received a reply that nearly made her furious:

"After throwing a tantrum, you grab someone by the neck and then pretend to be a complete bystander, huh? Well, let me say this: Chen Liang is just jumping around while the hype is high. Once the storm has passed, see where he is!"

Li Mengyao felt like she had eaten a toad; she felt nauseous for the entire day.

After that, no matter how she argued with that person, he kept bringing up his seniority, repeatedly saying that Chen Liang was a nobody with no foundation and would disappear once the hype died down.
