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

This woman is undeniably cute, but she can also be quite terrifying when she gets yandere. I have absolutely no idea what she's planning to do next.

At this moment, at Qin Yunchu's prompting, the host finally stepped onto the stage.

"Okay, everyone, judges, guests, and students."

"This round of matches has officially begun."

Chapter 452 Gu Yuqing, the Husband-Protecting Maniac

What goes around comes around, and unfortunately, Jinlan drew the first one.

Jin Lan was already nervous, and now she was even more nervous. When she saw her name frozen on the big screen, she almost had a heart attack.

She hesitated, looking at Chen Ya as if she wanted to say something, when she suddenly felt a sharp gaze coming from behind her.

Looking up, he found Gu Yuqing staring intently at him. He shrank back, took off his coat, and quickly went up on stage.

The moment she stood on the stage, her figure was eye-catching. Her two long, straight legs were visible beneath her hot pants, and a pair of fishnet stockings made her fair legs look exceptionally alluring.

The host handed the microphone to Jin Landao:

"Jin Lan, you are now in the revival stage. If you can't get into the top two in this round, you will be eliminated. Are you confident in yourself?"

Jin Lan was already nervous, and the host's question only made her more anxious. She stammered, "..."

"...Yes, yes."

The host smiled and said, "It seems you're not very confident."

The audience burst into laughter.

The host then asked, "Jin Lan, during the last selection phase, you chose Chen Liang from among many competitors. So, I'd like to ask you, after receiving his song, were you confident in its quality?"

This is another trap question. The first time, the malicious host used this kind of question to provoke Jin Lan, but Jin Lan still didn't notice the trap.

However, this time her whole demeanor was different, and she said with unwavering certainty, "Yes."

The host feigned surprise: "Jin Lan, why are you so confident in this song? It seems you have a lot of confidence in it?"

Jin Lan said, "Because it was written by Chen Liang."

The live stream chat was immediately flooded with comments saying they were totally shipping them, and that the amount of sweetness was just too much. Chen Ya himself, sitting in his seat, felt a chill run down his spine.

He felt Gu Yuqing glaring at him with murderous eyes from behind.

"Alright, then, let's enjoy Jin Lan's performance of 'Learning to Meow'."

The curtain rises, music begins, and the host leaves the stage.

Jin Lan's voice, as pure and unpolished as unpolished gold and jade (lacking any particular skill), also rang out at the same time:

Let's learn to meow like cats together.

Meow meow meow meow~

I'll act cute and affectionate in front of you.

Ouch, meow meow meow meow~

My heart is pounding.

I'm infatuated with your mischievous smile.

If you don't say you love me, I'll meow meow meow...

Jin Lan made a series of random "meows" on stage with her sweet voice.

Both the players on site and the viewers in the live broadcast room fell silent at this moment.

They all had only one thought in their minds—

What's this?

Is this a song?

If this were a song, then... it would be absolutely outrageous!

It's not that it's bad; strictly speaking, Jin Lan's singing isn't bad at all, it's even quite pleasant.

Jin Lan has a sweet, girl-like voice, coupled with terrible pitch, making this adorable song perfect for her to sing.

But... this song was written by Chen Liang!

Chen Liang shouldn't be at this level!

Ren Jinqing was sitting upright in the audience, but because he knew it was Chen Liang's song, he paid extra attention.

Chen Liang's previous song, "I Remember," was one of his favorites. He listened to it several more times after returning home, and each time he had a new feeling about it.

He is quite interested in Chen Liang, this young creator.

But the more he listened to "Learn to Meow," the stranger his expression became.

Did Chen Liang really write this?

These meaningless lyrics and monotonous melody shouldn't be his work!

In contrast, He Su and Yu Xiaoxiao appeared much calmer.

They had only one thought: They're back, they're all back.

It's still the familiar Jin Lan, and it's still the familiar Chen Liang.

The original team created this authentic pop song, it's just the right taste!

Having experienced the trials of "Plum Jam" and "Ah Zhen Fell in Love with Ah Qiang," they have already understood one thing:

There are two versions of Chen Liang: one is the pop song version, and the other is the art song version.

The more profound and transcendent Chen Liang's artistic and literary versions are, the more entertaining his pop-style versions are.

He Su and Yu Xiaoxiao even want to tap their feet to the music now.

Listening to Chen Liang's catchy pop songs, you really don't need to think too much, just enjoy yourself.

The live stream chat was also buzzing with comments:

"Huh? I came here for 'I Remember,' but this song is so... cheesy?"

"The calmness before was typical of Chen Liang and the Jin Lan duo."

"To be honest, this song is quite good, catchy, and I feel like it's going to be a hit."

"Which song by Chen Liang isn't a hit? Even if his songs are criticized as 'catchy pop songs,' none of them fail to become hits. He has a precise grasp of the market for every single one of his songs."

……

After the song ended, the entire venue was filled with a joyful and lively atmosphere.

The host stepped onto the stage with a microphone and said, "Alright, Jin Lan's performance is over. Now, let's invite our two judges to give their comments."

Yu Xiaoxiao took the microphone and said, "Jin Lan, I still want to reiterate my previous point: your dance moves are really great. Did you choreograph this dance yourself?"

Jin Lan nodded: "Yes."

“Very good, you have a lot of talent in this area,” Yu Xiaoxiao said, “but you still need to improve your singing skills, otherwise you won’t be able to stand in the center position.”

Jin Lan pursed her lips and nodded.

“However, I will still give you a relatively high score,” Yu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, “This song is very suitable for you. If you can get the commercial performance rights for this song, I will suggest that you make it your main song.”

He Su took the microphone and continued, "My opinion is the same as Xiao Xiao's. Jin Lan, your singing skills need to be improved. This song is very simple. You always sing with the most plain and unadorned voice, which sounds very cute. But you can't expect to become popular with this kind of song forever. I will give you a moderate score."

Hearing this, Jin Lan breathed a sigh of relief. Both mentors had indicated they would give her a good score, so there was still hope of competing for the top two spots in this round.

The live stream chat was filled with praise as well:

"I really don't want Jin Lan to leave; she worked so hard."

"I feel that Chen Liang is really good at training Jin Lan. It's hard to imagine that this is the girl who crashed and burned in the last round. It's very enjoyable to watch her dance and sing this song at the same time."

"Yes, yes, Chen Liang is really good at developing gold and blue, while Jia Yi only knows how to copy templates and doesn't know how to use gold and blue at all."

Chen Liang: Watch closely, Jia Yi, this is how you use the Golden Blue!

……

"Cough cough..."

Just as the host was about to announce the next segment, Ren Jinqing coughed twice, attracting everyone's attention.

He spoke into the microphone, "Can I say a few words?"

The host quickly interjected, "Please go ahead."

Ren Jinqing, adopting a straightforward manner, said, "I don't know why both mentors gave it such high praise, but to me, I feel this song is just average, especially considering it was written by Chen Liang."

He paused, then continued, "I really want to ask Chen Liang, you're clearly capable of writing lyrics like 'I Remember,' so why are the lyrics to this song so plain and meaningless? Did you do it on purpose, or is the title just not to your liking?"

Everyone looked at Chen Ya, who closed his eyes and pretended not to hear.

What can I do? I'm desperate too!

Seeing that Chen Liang did not answer, Ren Jinqing nodded and said, "It seems that Chen Liang does not want to talk about it. Perhaps this topic is indeed not in his area of ​​expertise. I have no more questions, host."

The host chuckled dryly and then added fuel to the fire, asking, "Mr. Ren, are you not entirely satisfied with this song?"

"I don't like it." Ren Jinqing shook his head and then stopped expressing his opinion, seemingly not wanting to influence the scores of other judges.

After Grandpa Ren finished speaking, Chen Ya wasn't embarrassed, but Qin Yun Chu was.

She came up with the title "Cute Little Animals," so she could only take the blame for Chen Ya's actions.

"Cough cough!"

Just as the host was about to speak, another cough broke the silence.

Gu Yuqing clenched her fist loosely, smiled, and asked, "May I say a few words?"

When the host saw Gu Yuqing speak, he said cautiously, "President Gu, please go ahead."

Strictly speaking, Gu Yuqing wasn't even a guest; she was just there to watch the game as a friend.

But who can blame them when they're rich and have money to burn? It's a small matter if she says a few words, but if we don't let her speak and she gets upset and refuses to pay, then that would be a big problem.

The camera was pointed at Gu Yuqing, and the live stream chat exploded with excitement.

"Who is this? She's so beautiful!"

"This is the boss of Yunshan Group, and she doesn't even recognize him?"

"Mr. Gu from Yunshan Group is personally participating in this program? Awesome!"

……

Gu Yuqing smiled and said into the microphone, "I really like this song. I'd like to ask the production team if we could sell the rights to use it as a promotional song?"

After Gu Yuqing finished speaking, everyone present was very surprised.

Just now, Ren Jinqing said he didn't like the song, but Gu Yuqing immediately said she liked it and even wanted to buy it.

This is clearly a direct confrontation!

Ren Jinqing turned around and glanced at Gu Yuqing, then frowned.

He thought to himself, he has no connection with this President Gu, so why would she target him?

I just can't figure it out.

Only Qin Yunchu, sitting in the control room, knew that Gu Yuqing wasn't actually going against Ren Jinqing at all.

She's protecting her husband!

Just what I feared most came to pass.

Before Gu Yuqing came, she begged President Gu not to cause any chaos at the scene.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yuqing's protectiveness towards her husband far exceeded her jealousy; she couldn't tolerate anyone saying anything bad about Chen Ya.

Even if someone of Ren Jinqing's stature gave her a slightly negative review, she would immediately retaliate.

Qin Yunchu rubbed her forehead; she had a bit of a headache.

I heard Gu Yuqing tell her story with Chen Ya at the hotel before. The two of them could not be described as pure and noble, but they could also be described as a perfect couple.

When the two of them actually met, they realized that she was such a fiercely protective husband.
