"Oh my god, did four minutes go by so fast? It feels like Sexy Little Strong has only been singing for a short while."

"I'm the one who's really in trouble. I was distracted and didn't listen to the song properly. By the time I came to my senses, it was over."

"Why did Sexy Xiaoqiang only sing two songs?"

"This song isn't actually my style, but I don't know why I think it sounds really good."

"Is the voting channel open yet? Hurry up and vote for Sexy Xiaoqiang. I was originally going to vote for Peacock Zizhaoyao, but after Sexy Xiaoqiang came out, I changed my mind."

When the song ended, the audience, no matter how reluctant they were, could only look at the stage with regret.

It's impossible to get Sexy Little Strong to return for an encore, because this is a competition stage.

The mentors on stage also came to their senses, and Kong Liang was the first to pick up the microphone.

His eyes were full of admiration as he looked at Sexy Xiaoqiang.

"Very good, a very good song. 'The Ordinary Road' is the fourth original song you have brought us on this stage."

I've been looking forward to your performance since the start of today's competition. And it turns out that neither "Itch" nor your rendition of "The Ordinary Road" disappointed me.

This song is really great; the melody is incredibly catchy and memorable. The transitions between rhythms are also very natural.

What's even more remarkable is how well the lyrics and the song complement each other; the lyrics begin by telling a story, and the melody of the song also tells a story.

It led me into a profound and nostalgic period of life.

Kong Liang has always been relatively quiet on stage, rarely speaking at such a long pace as he did today.

But he was very excited today because he had acquired a rare treasure.

Xu Yanyu nodded seriously.

She agreed with Kong Liang's words; this song tells the story of ordinary people.

She already loved the song, and with her excellent voice, she poured her heart into the performance, amplifying its emotional impact.

If Kong Liang still hasn't stopped, he's over forty years old this year, and has already lived more than half his life.

He has started a family and established a career; perhaps the ambitions of his youth have been worn away by time.

He wasn't unsad.

Some of his college classmates started their own bands, while others went abroad and did even better.

He once had the ambition to make a name for himself in the music industry.

However, he gave it up and chose to become a teacher.

This song truly touched his heart; we are all just ordinary people.

He admitted that he was an ordinary person, and that he was already doing better than many others.

People need to make peace with themselves.

He coughed twice before continuing, "The chorus is very relatable; it's a song with heart."

"If the song 'Peacock's Self-Promotion' is a display of technical skill, then your song is a representative of returning to simplicity."

After he finished speaking, the audience applauded, saying that Professor Kong Liang was right.

At the rest area, after Sexy Xiaoqiang finished singing "The Ordinary Road," Cui Xuerui knew she was going to lose the competition again.

"Where did this contestant come from? How come he always beats me?"

Her chest heaved up and down, and her hands gripped her skirt tightly.

The silk dress with lace embroidery was scratched by her.

The long, gold-plated nail art was about to get stuck in the mesh of the skirt fabric.

Her assistant's heart was pounding with Cui Xuerui's, her eyes fixed on her hands.

Seeing that Cui Xuerui was about to tear her dress, the assistant could no longer hold back.

"Sister Xue, the dress can't have any more problems. We already paid for the dress we had last time, and if it gets ruined again, the money we made to participate in the show won't even be enough to cover the damages."

Cui Xuerui sneered, "Can't I afford a piece of clothing? Do you think that because I can't sing as well as them, I don't even deserve to wear clothes?"

"Who is that sexy little cockroach? I told you to find him, have you found him yet? A week has passed, and no one has given me an explanation!"

Cui Xuerui shifted her gaze from the screen to her assistant, seemingly taking the opportunity to elaborate.

The assistant took a deep breath and repeated the reason she'd said many times before, "Sister Xue, it's not just us who can't find anyone. Many entertainment companies and record labels want to work with Sexy Xiaoqiang, and they can't find anyone either!"

"Don't give me that nonsense. I'm paying you guys not to listen to you complain that this isn't allowed and that isn't allowed!"

Cui Xuerui's gaze turned stern; she was practically about to point her finger at her assistant's forehead and yell at her.

She continued, "Did you hear what Kong Liang said? My work is a show of technical skill, while that Sexy Xiaoqiang's music is a return to simplicity."

After all these years of hard work in the entertainment industry, am I really going to become someone else's stepping stone?

Yes, that's exactly what Cui Xuerui cares about most.

Imagine when, in the end, both her and that sexy cockroach's true identities are revealed to the audience.

What do the audience think of her? Some say that Cui Xuerui is supposed to be the queen of Taiwan, but her singing skills are not as good as a newcomer's.

Even if this newcomer is talented, according to the normal development process, they still need to release an album or participate in different programs.

It will take five or even ten years to prove her abilities.

But after this competition, and after what Kong Liang just said, everyone will only recognize Sexy Xiaoqiang as a singer who is even more amazing than Cui Xuerui.

Cui Xuerui felt even worse.

She shouldn't have chosen her breakthrough work today.

She was only thinking about showing off her skills and not letting newcomers step on her head, but she never expected that this sexy little cockroach would actually be so strong.

She inhaled and exhaled, trying to calm her anger.

She turned her head and saw that her assistant was completely ignoring what she was saying.

The assistant was still standing there with his head down, meekly and submissive, dawdling over his work...

She got even angrier and said, "How could you not find her? Did she spring from a crack in a rock? Are you all completely useless? You could have searched based on her voice, or even hired professionals!"

The assistant frowned deeply, looking troubled: "The production team is keeping things very secret right now. Look at Xiao Fang, when we ask her, she can't say a word."

Sexy Xiaoqiang's voice is so versatile; we can't match it to anyone in the industry. Even outside the industry, I've searched carefully, but I can't find it!

The assistants felt increasingly aggrieved; they had it tough too.

Little did she know where this sexy little cockroach came from.

A loud "bang!" was heard as the table was pushed to the ground.

Cui Xuerui retorted directly, "I don't accept any of your reasons. To me, any explanation you give is just an excuse."

There is no problem that cannot be solved. If you cannot solve the problem I raise, I will eliminate all of you who cannot solve problems!

Go back and work overtime; you have to investigate this thoroughly!

The assistant clenched his fists tightly, took a breath, and then said, "Mm."

At this moment, she couldn't help but think of the song that Sexy Xiaoqiang had just sung; she could only encourage herself through that song.

She is a wild grass; she must be strong and patient.

She had to endure it for the sake of money.
