"It's better to work and get paid to earn dog food!" Another receptionist put the things away, thinking of giving them to the general manager when he returned.

Qin Xueyi stood in front of the store opposite Shu Shi. She didn't believe that Shu Ziche was not in the company, but she couldn't just barge in. She understood the principle of persuasion very well.

. . .

"Xiao Jiang, what's wrong with you? I always see you distracted lately!" The boss was making the seasoning for clay pot chicken. Seeing Xiao Jiang, who was helping him, in a daze, he asked loudly.

"Huh? Sorry, boss." Xiao Jiang reacted and quickly put the seasoning into the pot, and then the boss stir-fried it.

"What happened? Did someone bully you at night?" the boss asked with some confusion. He hasn't been in the store much recently. He usually comes to fry the seasonings during the day, and only Xiao Jiang and other waiters are in the store at night.

"No, everyone is very nice to me. Last time, a customer gave me a business card of Xingyao Agency and asked me to participate in a singing competition." Xiao Jiang said helplessly. The boss is a very nice person. If he doesn't tell him, he will always worry. It is better to tell him directly.

"This is a good thing. It's more reliable than the last one who wanted to release an album for you! At least they let you participate in the competition, which is based on your strength. The last one just asked you to pay to release an album, right?" The boss scooped out the seasoning and put it in a large stainless steel bucket.

These are the quantities for one night. We ensure that the seasonings are freshly cooked every day. Even if there is any leftover on the same day, it will not be used the next day. That's why the clay pot chicken here has such a good reputation.

"Yes, but I'm still afraid..." After all, he was full of expectations last time, but in the end there was nothing. How could he not be afraid?

"How can you know what life is like if you don't try hard? You sing well and can write lyrics and compose music by yourself. It's really not right for you to stay here with me. Think about it carefully. If you want to go, I will give you travel expenses. Even if you lose the competition, you can still stay in the store!" The boss patted Xiao Jiang on the shoulder and left the kitchen to go outside to pick vegetables with other employees.

After standing in the kitchen for a long time, Xiao Jiang took out the business card and wanted to throw it away many times, but in the end he kept it carefully. Maybe this really was an opportunity!

. . . .

In the evening, Ling Xiaoxiao was taking a bath when she received a call from Jing Xiaojing, saying that Xiao Jiang had already talked to her on the phone and agreed to go to City A to participate in the singing competition.

"How's the competition going?" Ling Xiaoxiao yawned. It felt so good to be a hands-off boss! Basically, she didn't participate in anything. She just asked for what she wanted.

"The auditions are already underway, but there are only a few singers from City A who have signed up." Most of the singers from City A are in China, and the two families are sworn enemies. How could they possibly come to participate in the Xingyao audition?

"He doesn't necessarily have to be a real singer. There are many masters among the people. Look, isn't Xiao Jiang a pleasant surprise?" Ling Xiaoxiao said while playing with bubbles.

"How optimistic are you about him? I feel his voice lacks explosive power. Nowadays, audiences like voices with explosive power." Jing Xiaojing is very clear about this. After all, the singers who debuted recently all have extremely explosive voices.

What is explosive power? Is it just screaming at the top of your lungs on stage? Ling Xiaoxiao didn't understand why a song like that could become so popular.

"His songs are very contagious, you'll know once you've heard them." Especially the song I heard that night in S City, "I Blew the Evening Breeze You Blew"

So, do we hug each other?

But I woke up empty-handed like a dream

My heart is empty

I blew the evening breeze you blew

Have you seen the same scenery?

Like disturbing time difference, staying in dislocated time and space

It's empty in the end

I don’t know if it’s because I just experienced a period of dislocation in time and space, but I feel particularly touched by this song.

Jing Xiaojing was skeptical about Ling Xiaoxiao's words. Between a person who had never studied music and a person who graduated from a music school, of course the latter was more professional.

Huaxia President's Office

"Isn't Xingyao an agency? Why would they come up with a competition?" Hua Xia's president asked speechlessly. "Can't an agency just be an agency? Why are they holding a talent show?! Isn't that the entertainment company's job?"

"I can only say that Xingyao has too much money but nowhere to spend it." The vice president said with some envy. Xingyao now only has a few artists under its umbrella and cannot generate any revenue for the company. And holding a competition at a time like this, he really can't think of any other reason besides having too much money but nowhere to spend it.

“People who graduate from music colleges will first think of signing with Hua Xia. Then if Xingyao can’t find anyone, they can only work hard on non-professionals. I don’t believe that those non-professionals can surpass the musicians we have painstakingly trained?” The artistic director said arrogantly. He was very confident in his own artists!

The Huaxia CEO thought what he said made sense. Even though Xingyao already had Ma Weiya, so what? They had so many artists in Huaxia, so why should they be afraid of just one Ma Weiya? Now that Qin Xueyi was not in City A, they could send out actors with good acting skills.

Anyway, President Huaxia is very confident in defeating Xingyao!

When the Xingyao competition was held, it was broadcast live on the Internet, and people on the Internet voted to choose their favorite singers. This had never happened before. Previous talent shows had professional musicians to make the selections, but this time the choice was given to the audience!

"Is this really a good idea? What if someone cheats with the votes?" Jing Xiaojing said with some concern. Isn't this riskier than letting the judges judge?

"If someone cheats with votes, they will be suppressed by other audiences without us saying anything. Haven't you thought about it? The audience treats the artist they have brought up as their own son. Will you let your son suffer?" Ling Xiaoxiao explained that she did this because it was difficult to invite judges. After all, for professional music, these non-professionals did not sing well.

But the judges cannot represent the audience. Ling Xiaoxiao believes that the audience is more powerful than the judges!

The competition was in full swing, and the winner was Xiao Jiang, who won the championship with just a guitar!

He has over 60 million fans online, a number that many musicians dream of!

When Jing Xiaojing learned the result, he was dumbfounded. Where on earth did Ling Xiaoxiao find that person? How could she become the champion so suddenly?

"You haven't heard his songs yet?" Ling Xiaoxiao took out her cell phone and started playing.

"A movie that doesn't fill half the row

Until the lights suddenly came on when the show was over

Subtitles are fixed on a certain production and distribution

I watched them hurry away

Like a repeater who overestimates his own abilities

Failure to complete the mission of passing the imperial examination

Fate is not a matter of guessing rock-paper-scissors

So willful

I blew the evening breeze you blew

So, do we hug each other?

But I woke up empty-handed like a dream

My heart is empty

I blew the evening breeze you blew

Have you seen the same scenery?

Like disturbing time difference, staying in dislocated time and space

It's empty in the end

”

"This? Is he really singing it?" Jing Xiaojing had to admit that the song was indeed very good.
