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

Chen Ya nodded, indifferent: "Sure."

Jinlan warmed up and then started singing.

"Let's learn to meow together, meow meow meow meow..."

Jin Lan wore a short, tight-fitting striped T-shirt today, with a low neckline and high waist, showing off her slender waist. She paired it with super short, sexy denim shorts.

She is quite confident in her physical advantages.

Regardless of how well she sings, the way she twists her waist is enough to mesmerize many people.

After the music ended, Chen Ya nodded in satisfaction.

Just as he expected.

Jin Lan is the perfect person to sing this song.

This song doesn't require much skill; it's a genuine pop song. Jin Lan at least has a decent appearance and a clear voice.

Even if her singing skills are completely lacking, her cuteness alone is enough to achieve good results.

In addition, her self-choreographed dance is quite refreshing.

Her talent is definitely all in dancing. Her self-choreographed dance moves are simple but cute, and they go perfectly with the song.

"Alright." Chen Ya nodded, indicating approval.

Jin Lan's chest heaved; he was somewhat surprised that he had passed so easily.

Chen Ya used to be very strict.

"Is that all right?"

“Okay,” Chen Ya said. “When you go on stage, just keep that youthful innocence. Don’t try too hard. The more natural your performance, the better.”

"A sense of naivety?" Jin Lan tilted her head; she didn't understand.

Chen Ya said, "Just think of it as acting cute."

"Oh……"

After saying that, Chen Ya turned around and said, "Let's go, let's go to the venue."

"Uh-huh."

Jin Lan silently followed, taking quick, short steps, wanting to walk side-by-side with Chen Liang.

Their pairing has been very popular online recently, and she often sees clips of the two of them playing "sweetly together" online, sometimes for half a day at a time.

She didn't initially have those kinds of feelings for Chen Liang, but after seeing him so much, her thoughts inevitably began to change.

It's like when classmates tease you about "class couples" in school. The person involved might not feel anything at first, but if they are teased too much, they can easily get carried away.

As it turned out, Chen Liang had no intention of walking alongside her; with his long legs and big strides, she couldn't keep up.

Jin Lan could only run quickly behind with small, hurried steps, her expression somewhat ferocious.

Why is he ignoring all my advances? When will he even glance at me? Are straight men's hearts really made of iron? I'm so pretty, and I've been so attentive, doesn't he feel anything at all?

You damned Chen Liang, I really hate you for being so dense!

As they were walking, Chen Ya turned around and stared at Jin Lan thoughtfully.

Jin Lan almost bumped into him, looking at him with a completely bewildered expression.

"W-What are you doing?"

"Wear this coat." Chen Ya took off his trench coat and threw it to her.

"Ah, ah?"

Jin Lan's outfit today was actually quite well-coordinated, but since it was seen by the audience before she even went on stage, it wasn't as stunning as it should have been.

Although Chen Ya is a laid-back person, he is not completely indifferent to rankings. He is quite happy to do things that can improve the overall impression, even if it's just a small thing.

Besides, he was getting a little hot wearing that trench coat.

Jin Lan clutched the trench coat, still warm from her body, and her heart trembled slightly.

Although I was cursing that sly, straight man in my heart just now, his attack power actually doubled when he warmed up.

Jin Lan was easily manipulated.

As soon as they stepped outside, they were met with a barrage of spotlights and cameras shoved into their faces. The live stream had already begun.

The sight of the two walking one in front of the other was broadcast live, and the chat was immediately flooded with comments.

"Haha, Jinlan looks just like a little wife!"

"Wow, did you guys notice? Chen Liang isn't wearing his glasses, he looks so handsome!"

"Yeah, he's practically a celebrity! Why didn't he take off his glasses sooner?"

"Jin Lan is still wearing a men's garment. Is it Chen Liang's?"

"Wow, this is so good! Girls, I'm totally hooked!"

……

Chen Ya was a little dazzled by the flashing lights and covered his face as he got on the bus. Only then did he suddenly realize that he hadn't put on his glasses.

He reached into his pocket and realized that his glasses were still with Liulizi, and he probably wouldn't have time to get them anytime soon.

The group was quickly taken to the venue, and a new round of competition officially began.

Having gone through so many competitions, everyone was already quite familiar with the process and remained calm in the face of both honor and disgrace.

However, this time was different. After the host came on stage, he only said one sentence: "The program has been adjusted. Please wait a moment." Then he left the stage.

The contestants were confused about the situation. One of them pulled aside a staff member to ask a couple of questions and was told that they were waiting for someone, so the competition was delayed.

The competition didn't matter to Chen Ya; he just wanted it to end as soon as possible so he could go home.

As I sat there resting with my eyes closed, a murmur of whispers arose around me.

"Wow, who's that? She's so beautiful!"

"Is that a new contestant going up in the next round?"

"It looks so familiar, like I've seen it somewhere before."

Chen Ya turned around and saw a tall woman wearing a white dress, long legs and high heels, walking towards him while holding up her dress.

Upon seeing her, Chen Ya's expression froze on his face.

It's Gu Yuqing.

This guy actually showed up at the competition venue.

Qin Yunchu walked out of the control room and went straight to greet Gu Yuqing.

The moment the two beautiful women stood there, smiling and chatting, the atmosphere of the scene changed completely.

Lu Chujiu and Qin Yunshang in the back row whispered to each other: "Who is that? He looks so noble."

"I don't know him."

"Young Master Qin went to talk to her. Don't you recognize her?"

"How could I possibly know all of my sister's connections?"

After exchanging pleasantries, Qin and Gu gracefully walked over to the group of contestants. Everyone stared at them expectantly, but Chen Ya kept his eyes down, seemingly oblivious to his surroundings.

He knew without looking that Gu Yuqing's gaze was fixed on him the whole time.

Qin Yun Chu led Gu Yu Qing over, clapped her hands, and introduced her to the surrounding program crew members and contestants:

"Everyone, please stop for a moment. Let me introduce you. This lady next to me is Ms. Gu Yuqing, the chairwoman of Yunshan Group. You should all have heard of her."

After saying that, Meng Xing's eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and he immediately said, "I've heard of it, I've heard of it!"

Qin Yunchu smiled and said, "President Gu happens to be in Japan as well. She is interested in sponsoring our program, so I took the opportunity to invite her to come and watch the competition."

Gu Yuqing nodded with a subtle smile, but her gaze remained fixed intently on Chen Ya.

Actually, it wasn't Qin Yun Chu who invited her; it was Gu Yu Qing who insisted on coming. She only said this to save face for President Gu.

In fact, Qin Yun Chu was also very nervous: she was afraid that Gu Yu Qing would do something with Chen Ya in front of tens of millions of viewers.

That would be a big problem.

The contestants, unaware of the inside story, immediately sat up straighter upon hearing Qin Yun Chu's words.

Just kidding, what kind of position does the chairman of Yunshan Group hold?

If she takes a liking to a contestant, she can practically give him a lifetime meal ticket, ensuring he'll never have to worry about food or drink again.

Everyone wants to perform well.

If I could gain his favor, it would change my destiny.

"President Qin, would you like me to be introduced to him?" Gu Yuqing asked with a smile.

Qin Yunchu bit her lip, nodded, and gestured, saying, "This is Jia Yi, this is Meng Xing, this is Guo Xiaoran, they are all songwriters. This is Guo Lichuan, an idol trainee from our Japanese branch."

Gu Yuqing smiled and nodded: "Hello!"

It must be said that when Gu Yuqing is gentle, she is like a breath of fresh air. The three people who were called out immediately stood up to return the greeting.

Guo Xiaoran kept secretly adjusting her posture, trying to show her most perfect side, hoping to win Gu Yuqing's favor.

Unfortunately, he wasn't even as tall as Gu Yuqing, who wasn't wearing high heels.

Qin Yunchu then pointed to Qin Yunshang: "This is Qin Yunshang, also known as my younger sister."

"Hello, little sister." Gu Yuqing smiled and touched Qin Yunshang's face, making the little girl blush.

But she didn't feel offended; she just thought the older woman was very kind.

"This is Lu Chujiu, and this is Jin Lan. They are both excellent contestants," Qin Yunchu quickly introduced.

Upon hearing Jin Lan's name, Gu Yuqing's eyes sharpened.

"You must be Jin Lan, right? I've heard about you often," Gu Yuqing said with a smile. "You are quite pretty."

Everyone else looked at Jin Lan with envy, but Jin Lan herself was trembling with fear.

She just felt a lot of pressure.

This Mr. Gu didn't do anything wrong, but he had a strangely strong sense of pressure. When she met his eyes, her heart felt like it was going to stop.

"Hey, this coat you're wearing, isn't it yours?" Gu Yuqing said exaggeratedly, pinching Jin Lan's trench coat.

Jin Lan stammered, "Yes, yes, it was Chen... Chen Liang who saw I was cold and gave it to me..."

Chen Ya, standing nearby, felt a sinking feeling in his heart. Oh no.

Gu Yuqing raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh, so you contestants have pretty good relationships, right? How far have things progressed?"

Jin Lan inexplicably sensed a heavy killing intent surrounding her and panicked a little, saying, "N-nothing..."

Gu Yuqing gave a cold laugh, temporarily letting Jin Lan off the hook, and then pointed at Chen Liang, saying, "This one hasn't been introduced to me yet."

Qin Yun Chu felt bitter inside, thinking, "Do I really need to introduce this person? What new tricks are you two up to now?"

"This is...this is Chen Liang, our...lyricist and composer."

Gu Yuqing reached out and helped Chen Ya straighten his collar, then buttoned up one of his shirt buttons.

"Chen Liang, right? A promising young man. I wish you success."

Chen Ya's facial expression stiffened: "Thank you."

She lowered her head, brushed the dust off Chen Ya's shoulder, and spoke into his ear in a soft, melodious voice, her breath sweet as orchids:

"Be careful not to catch a cold."

"...Thank you for your concern." Chen Ya's body stiffened, still pretending not to recognize him.

He felt that Gu Yuqing, who appeared to be helping him button his clothes, actually had the urge to strangle him at any moment.

However, the others were unaware that he was teetering on the brink of death, and they all stared at him with a hint of envy.

How could anyone not feel envious and jealous of someone who would receive such favor from President Gu on their very first meeting?

Guo Xiaoran, in particular, was overflowing with jealousy. She silently cursed Chen Liang as a gigolo.

After saying hello, Gu Yuqing gracefully left to greet Ren Jinqing on the other side, and Chen Ya finally breathed a sigh of relief.
