Zhang Xiaoxiao was also in a panic.

He stepped forward, trying to salvage the situation, "Can Can, let's talk about it later, shall we let Xiao Xi finish singing?"

Su Can turned to Xi Shengpin and asked, "Are you still going to sing?"

Xi Shengpin: "I'm not singing anymore."

Su Can said to Zhang Xiaoxiao, "Look, he's stopped singing. Can I talk now?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao: "..."

[I just became a fan, but if Su Can criticizes Xi Shengpin, I'll switch from fan to hater!]

[CanCan, don't talk nonsense, it'll easily attract negative attention, understand?]

[Would Su Can really let Xi Shengpin slack off with him?]

Su Can walked to Xi Shengpin's side.

He placed his hand on his thin shoulder.

She looked at him with sincere eyes.

He opened his mouth slowly.

"Could you answer a few questions for me?"

Xi Shengpin nodded, his eyes red-rimmed.

Su Can: "Why did you come to participate in the competition?"

Xi Shengpin: "I...I want to be famous."

Su Can: "Why do you want to become famous?"

Xi Shengpin: "I want to be famous, I want to earn more money, and give my family a better life..."

Su Can's eyes held an encouraging glint. "Anything else?"

Xi Shengpin was stunned.

His tear-filled eyes looked into Su Can's dark eyes.

Su Can's deep, dark eyes were filled with sincerity.

Perhaps Xi Shengpin realized that this might be the last performance of his career.

Perhaps it was Su Can's encouraging gaze that moved him...

Xi Shengpin, emboldened by some unknown source, gripped the microphone tightly and spoke his mind loudly.

"Because I want to sing! I love music, and being able to stand on stage and sing my favorite songs is my dream! Even if I don't have the talent, even if I suffer ridicule, I will do anything to achieve it!"

Su Can smiled and said, "But now that you've encountered a little problem, you want to withdraw from the competition. What happened to your promise to pay any price?"

Xi Shengpin: "..."

Holy crap, Su Can's CPU skills are maxed out!

I was stunned! This young man was completely swayed by Su Can's few words!

[I'm starting to feel sorry for this poor kid. How can an innocent child possibly resist a top-tier MLM master like Su Can?]

[Oh no, Barbie Q is gone! This guy's about to fall for Su Can's tricks!]

Su Can put his arm around Xi Shengpin's shoulder and said sincerely.

"In fact, everyone has dreams in their heart. There is nothing shameful about pursuing dreams, and failure is not terrible. The key is how we view them!"

"You said you love music, and I feel the same way. Making music is also my dream."

"But you have to understand, becoming famous is a mystery. There are too many things in this world where you can't expect a return on your efforts!"

"I became a security guard at the age of twenty so that I could have a stable job and move forward without hesitation on the road to pursuing my dreams!"

"I work as a security guard during the day to make ends meet! I make music at night to earn opportunities through hard work!"

"Everything I do is to realize my dream, and I will do everything in my power to overcome all difficulties!"

"I don't care about anyone's suspicions, ridicule, or slander, nor do I care whether I succeed or fail in every competition."

"All I know is that for my dream, I must keep moving forward and never stop striving!"

Xi Shengpin's heartfelt words ignited his passion.

He tried hard to hold back his tears and looked at Su Can with gratitude.

Su Can smiled and said softly to him, "There's a saying I want to give you: 'What you love may be separated by mountains and seas, but mountains and seas can be leveled.' Use 100% sincerity and passion to pursue the person or thing you love, and one day, you will get what you want!"

Xi Shengpin's tears streamed down his face as he nodded vigorously.

Su Can tightened her grip on his shoulder, her eyes filled with encouragement.

"So, are you still going to withdraw from the competition?"

Xi Shengpin shook his head vigorously, "I won't withdraw from the competition. I will strive to shine on this stage! Even if I fail, I will fight for my dream until the last second!"

The scene was quiet for a few seconds.

Immediately afterwards, thunderous applause erupted.

Su Can took the initiative to hug Xi Shengpin.

The comments section is going crazy!

My goodness, Su Can has such eloquent and persuasive speaking skills! He's like a cow on an Antarctic tour—absolutely amazing!

Beneath Su Can's seemingly ordinary exterior lies the heart of a motivational speaker!

[This is terrifying! I can feel the power of Su Can's brainwashing ability even through the screen. He has the aura of a cult leader, making people willingly submit to him and follow him!]

Even if these three celebrity mentors trained together for another ten years, they still couldn't match the skill of Su Can, the master of inspirational quotes!

Young man, your path has widened!

Su Can's example tells us that you can slack off, but you can't be truly incompetent; real ability is a person's true foundation!

[Yang Mier: I'm so heartbroken. It turns out Su Can can speak like a human being, act like a human being, and think of others. It's just a pity he's not me!]

Why do I suddenly find Su Can and Xi Shengpin a surprisingly good couple?

[True love is between men and women; heterosexual love is only for the sake of the next generation!]

Of course, aside from the silly netizens, many normal viewers were also moved.

[If this weren't scripted, Su Can's impromptu persuasion of Xi Shengpin would truly be legendary!]

[Su Can couldn't possibly have a script. He was tricked by Ocean Entertainment and the unspoken rules and shady dealings of "Tomorrow's Idol" so badly, yet he didn't give in. He wouldn't act in a scripted murder mystery game for a chance to advance!]

[Have you forgotten what he said during the player selection phase? He was exposing the behind-the-scenes manipulation, not cooperating with it!]
