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

The key point is that Li Mengyao couldn't refute what this person said.

Unlike young, popular actors, Chen Liang had reportedly been in the industry for a long time but had no works to his name. He only wrote three songs for this show, and unexpectedly, they became popular.

Li Mengyao found this quite inspiring, but Jia Yi's fans saw it as a lack of talent, a result of being promoted simply because of his popularity.

Otherwise, how could someone like Jia Yi, a grassroots songwriter, have become a hit on his own, instead of having no works after so many years in the industry?

Just as Li Mengyao was feeling down, her phone suddenly buzzed with a group notification that hadn't been active for a long time.

"Breaking news! Jiang Xinhai is making a comeback!"

Li Mengyao took one look and immediately got excited, clicking into the group chat and asking, "What's wrong? What happened?"

This group was created by Li Mengyao when Li Xingliang and Jiang Xinhai's fans were competing for votes during the broadcast of "Poetic Life".

Since that incident, the group has gradually become quiet, and no one has spoken for a long time.

After Li Mengyao asked the question, the person immediately replied:

"Look at Jiang Xinhai's new Weibo! Jiang Xinhai and Chen Liang have publicly invited each other to write songs!"

"Chen Liang??" Li Mengyao was startled, feeling a little dazed.

Just moments ago, she was arguing with someone about Chen Liang, and now that she'd heard his name again, Li Mengyao almost thought she was being monitored.

She opened Weibo and immediately saw Jiang Xinhai's new post:

"Autumn is here, it's time to release a new song, but there haven't been any good songs lately. 'I Remember' is pretty good though, @Chen Liang, could you write me an equally good one?"

Upon seeing this Weibo post, Li Mengyao's expression immediately turned strange, and she rubbed her eyes.

Did Jiang Xinhai himself really post this?

Doesn't she only sing songs written within a short distance?

Opening the comments section, she also saw Jiang Xinhai commenting on himself:

"@Chen Liang, stop pretending! Is it so hard to write an equally good one? Reply to me! (smile.jpg)(smile.jpg)(smile.jpg)(smile.jpg)"

Looking at this deadly chain of attacks (smiling.jpg), Li Mengyao felt that if she were Chen Liang, she would feel like her heart was about to stop.

Moreover, what kind of nonsense is this? Jiang Xinhai, a superstar, went and tagged Chen Liang, who had just debuted.

This is way too much pressure!

Looking at the comments again, wow, in just a few minutes, there were already over a thousand.

It's trending again.

Chapter 445 A Brutal Battlefield

Jiang Xinhai rarely posts on Weibo, and even when he does, it's always something strange.

For example, "Today's face mask is shaped like Pikachu" or "If a house is left unoccupied for a long time, will people grow up who don't recognize it?"

It's quite strange that she openly asked someone she has no connection with to write a song today.

Fortunately, she is Jiang Tianhou, so no one will say she's trying to gain attention by doing anything.

Moreover, she was either in a very good mood or a very bad mood today, and she actually replied to every single comment from netizens.

A netizen asked, "Does Xin Hai know Chen Liang? They seem to know each other quite well."

Jiang Xinhai: "I don't know him at all. If I didn't know his name was Chen Liang, I wouldn't even know what his name is."

A netizen asked, "Why did Xin Hai ask Chen Liang to write a song for her? What about Zhi Chi?"

Jiang Xinhai: "Disappeared [smiling.jpg]".

A netizen asked, "Does Xin Hai also like 'I Remember'? It's a really good song!"

Jiang Xinhai: "Mmm, it sounds nice."

……

Li Mengyao scrolled through her phone screen, feeling that every reply had countless flaws.

While I was scrolling through the comments, one particularly eye-catching comment popped up in front of me:

"Thank you, Jiang Tianhou, for recognizing our Chen Liang! (heart emoji) Jiang Tianhou, would you like to come here as a mentor? You could ask Chen Liang to sing for you up close! (evil grin) (evil grin)"

This comment was posted by the official account of "Idol Actors".

After a while, Jiang Xinhai actually replied:

"I'll come if you charter a plane ticket."

Li Mengyao stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Is Jiang Xinhai serious?!

The official Weibo account for "Idol Producer" hasn't responded for a long time; it's probably down.

They were probably just joking, and they didn't expect Jiang Xinhai to actually agree.

It turns out that the song "I Remember" has such a huge impact that even a diva has started to take notice of Chen Liang!

Thinking of this, Li Mengyao suddenly remembered that Jia Yi's fans had previously relied on their seniority to speak, criticizing Chen Liang for losing popularity and wanting to return to his original state.

Look! Jiang Xinhai even asked Chen Liang to write a song for her in the public chat! Did she even glance at your Jia Yi?!

"Second only within arm's reach!" Who really is second only to him?

Suddenly emboldened, Li Mengyao stormed onto the music platform, found the comment about her being involved in a team-building activity, and replied to each and every one of the comments below:

"Have you seen Jiang Tianhou's Weibo post? Jiang Tianhou even asked Chen Liang to write a song for her, did you know?"

"Is Jia Yi qualified to write songs for Empress Jiang?"

Li Mengyao was well-prepared this time, having drafted several lines of retorts, ready to unleash a torrent of abuse on anyone who responded to her.

Half a day passed and no one replied. When she tried to comment again, she found that she had been blocked.

Upon closer inspection: This comment has been deleted.

"Hahahaha..." Li Mengyao burst out laughing, "She actually deleted her own comment!"

"clown!"

What Li Mengyao didn't expect was that while these people were just quietly deleting comments on the surface, they had actually already broken through her defenses behind the scenes.

Even Jiang Xinhai himself didn't expect that this Weibo post, made out of jealousy, would unexpectedly cause a completely unrelated group to collectively break down.

Jia Yi has always been packaged as "the second one within reach". Not only does his agency promote him this way, but his fan base has also always regarded him as "the second one within reach".

And who is Zhichi? Jiang Xinhai's go-to lyricist and composer!

Many of Jia Yi's fans often fantasize about Jiang Xinhai collaborating with Jia Yi and singing a song together.

On Jia Yi's Baidu Tieba forum, Nikkei posts are all about photoshopping Jia Yi and Jiang Xinhai together. They either photoshop Jia Yi's name onto Jiang Xinhai's album cover or photoshop Jia Yi's songs to make Jiang Xinhai the lead singer.

Every day, Jia Yi's fans would leave messages on Jiang Xinhai's Weibo, asking her to sing Jia Yi's songs.

For them, Jiang Xinhai singing Jia Yi's songs confirms that Jia Yi is indeed the second Zhichi, and truly takes over from Zhichi to create a new future for the Chinese music scene.

Of course, this was just for their own amusement, because everyone knows that Jiang Xinhai only sings songs by Zhichi and would never sing other people's songs.

As a result, Jiang Xinhai's Weibo post today directly caused all of Jia Yi's fans to break down their defenses—

For years, she had longed to have Jiang Xinhai sing Jia Yi's songs, but Jiang Xinhai had never paid her any attention.

Chen Liang suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and before he had even been famous for two weeks, he snatched the spotlight from Jiang Xinhai, who directly asked him to write a song!

What kind of world is this?!

From the perspective of Jia Yi's fans, this is equivalent to: the male protagonist struggles for the princess for many years, overcoming obstacles and working tirelessly, and finally grows strong enough to look the princess on equal footing, only to have the princess run off with a blond guy who just appeared for the first time.

How could anyone not be on guard like this?!

The atmosphere in Jia Yi's fan group was one of utter despair. The level of grief among the fans was at its peak; they probably wouldn't have been this heartbroken even if their partners had cheated on them.

……

Qin Yunchu was also browsing Weibo and witnessed Jiang Xinhai's resentful Weibo posts.

Knowing the inside story, she naturally understood what Jiang Xinhai meant by his Weibo post—he was both showing off and being coquettish with Chen Ya!

Not enough. Seeing the interactions on her own official Weibo account, she frowned.

This official Weibo account editor is utterly reckless. Jiang Xinhai is incredibly jealous, and this editor still wants to invite people over. What for? To start a bloodbath?

Qin Yun Chu put her phone on the table and said coldly to the crew members next to her:

"Who authorized the official Weibo account to interact with Jiang Xinhai?"

The crew members on the other side of the show exchanged bewildered glances before finally handing over a phone. On the other end was the official Weibo account's operations editor.

The person on the other end of the phone explained the situation to Qin Yun Chu in a humble tone: "President Qin, during our program's current promotional cycle, the editors are searching all over the world for relevant topics to interact with. Do you have any taboos regarding Jiangxinhai?"

Qin Yun Chu frowned. Some things were difficult to explain to outsiders, so she said succinctly:

“Don’t interact with artists of Jiang Xinhai’s caliber casually. It’s very likely that something bad could happen if you’re not careful, understand? From now on, you have to ask me before you can interact with Jiang Xinhai.”

The editor nodded repeatedly, sweat beading on his forehead.

After admitting his mistake, the editor asked, "President Qin, Jiang Tianhou said she'd come over if we chartered a plane. How should we respond to her?"

Qin Yun Chu asked in surprise, "She agreed to come?"

The editor said, "Yes! She just replied. We're not sure either, and we were just about to ask her..."

Qin Yunchu thought for a moment and said, "You don't need to worry about this. I'll talk to Jiang Xinhai."

After hanging up the phone, the operations editor on the other end kept sighing to himself:

As expected, Jiang Xinhai and Qin Yunchu are like gods fighting. Jiang Xinhai is someone you can't even invite, but Young Master Qin can speak to him directly. What kind of power does that have?

Qin Yunchu directly used WeChat to chat privately and started a voice call with Jiang Xinhai, who quickly answered.

"Hey, Xin Hai, I'm so sorry, our official Weibo account is clueless and was trying to get attention by misleading people." Qin Yun Chu apologized as soon as the call connected.

Jiang Xinhai said, "Hey, it's nothing. I'm just riding on Chen Liang's popularity too."

To an outsider, these words might seem like ordinary politeness, but to Qin Yun Chu, they immediately caused her to break out in a cold sweat.

She emphasized the words "your family" very much, and the official Weibo account just commented on her post saying "our Chen Liang," so it seems that Jiang Tianhou is particularly concerned and her jealousy hasn't subsided yet.

"No, no, I didn't dare. I just came here to help him. I didn't really treat him as a guest on the show," Qin Yun Chu said quickly.

“I know, I know, he’s always busy,” Jiang Xinhai said listlessly. “I’m used to it.”

This statement also carried deep resentment, but it seemed to imply a desire for reconciliation. Qin Yun Chu said:

"You said on Weibo that you wanted to come over... Do you really want to come?"

Jiang Xinhai retorted, "What, aren't you welcoming me here?"

Qin Yun Chu hurriedly said, "Welcome, welcome! If you're willing to come, we'll even go bankrupt to invite you."

Jiang Xinhai said listlessly, "Forget it, it was just something the higher-ups said casually. Japan is too far away, I'm not interested."

Qin Yunchu felt a little relieved, but Jiang Xinhai's words made her heart jump to her throat again:

"By the way, I saw 'Chen Liang and Jin Lan' trending on Weibo, what's that all about?"

Qin Yun Chu said nervously, "Ah, ah? That's all hype, all for traffic, it's fake..."

"Even a lie has some truth to it, right?" Jiang Xinhai said. "Yun Chu, tell me the truth, has he been messing around over there?"

Qin Yun Chu wiped her sweat: "It wouldn't come to this..."

"Why is everyone focusing on him and that Jin Lan guy? Why not other people?" Jiang Xinhai said. "Besides, I watched the live stream yesterday, and that girl was practically confessing her feelings."

Qin Yunchu smiled wryly. She could only do her best to cover for Chen Ya, but this kind of thing couldn't be hidden forever, so she had no choice but to say:

"Yes... he's very charming. I don't know why, but Jin Lan suddenly became very clingy to him. However, she didn't do anything. I check every night, and he hasn't spent the night with anyone else."

"Oh." Jiang Xinhai was slightly relieved, but then asked, "No, you can't let your guard down. He loves to use this trick: first, he piques your interest, then he plays hard to get."

Qin Yunchu thought about it for a moment, nodded, and said, "That makes sense. I'll pay more attention to it in my daily life."

“Jin Lan’s legs are so long, I’m really tempted by them. He definitely won’t let this go so easily,” Jiang Xinhai said indignantly.

Qin Yun Chu quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no, it's not that serious. As far as I can see, he and Jin Lan are just cooperating, nothing more than friends. It's normal for teammates to have some sparks between them in this competition. My sister isn't suited for it yet, and she's very attached to him..."

Jiang Xinhai exclaimed in surprise, "Your sister got infected too??"
