Chapter Forty-Eight: The Destructive Power of the White Moonlight

"A cheongsam? Hahaha, is GX so poor that they actually made their most famous streamer wear such a tacky cheongsam on stage?"

Zhou Mengying's sarcastic remarks made Huo Junyan's face turn ugly.

Huo Junyan immediately called his assistant and asked, "What's going on? Why is Su Su wearing a cheongsam on stage?"

The assistant replied awkwardly, "Deputy Director Huo, Su Su said she was going to the restroom and came out wearing this outfit. I wanted her to change back, but she insisted..."

"You guys are really messing around!"

After Huo Junyan finished his reprimand, he heard angry voices coming from the audience:

"GX Radio is going too far, giving Su Su such an outdated outfit?"

"Could it be that the makeup and styling team was hacked by Zhou's Radio Station?!"

Seeing that his cheongsam had caused widespread resentment, Huo Junyan felt utterly overwhelmed.

However, the next second, someone exclaimed: "Wait a minute... look closely, this is not an ordinary cheongsam!"

"This is the cheongsam that Bai Nuannuan, the top radio singer of the last era, wore when she announced her retirement from the entertainment industry!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Junyan froze.

Bai Nuannuan?!

Zhou Mengying's expression also changed slightly.

Although Zhou Mengying was born late and missed the heyday of radio, her name is still familiar to people in the radio industry.

Previously, Su Su had caused quite a stir with her old song "Looking Back Again," with some media figures even comparing her to "Bai Nuannuan reincarnated."

But even Bai Nuannuan, after careful consideration, Zhou Mengying did not see her as a threat.

"You think you can beat my Qinglan by wearing the same cheongsam that Bai Nuannuan, a washed-up veteran actress, wore when she retired from the entertainment industry?"

"Deputy Director Huo, your anchors are really dreaming!"

Zhou Mengying made another sarcastic remark, as if she had already foreseen Su Su being kicked out of the game!

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Huo Junyan's pupils lit up.

He smirked and said, "Director Zhou, don't you know that Chairman He, the chief judge of this year's livestreaming competition, is a fan of Bai Nuannuan?"

Zhou Mengying frowned: "You've got it wrong, Chairman He is clearly a fan of my Qinglan!"

Everyone in the radio industry knows that He Chengfeng is one of the leaders of Queen Qinglan's fan club.

That's why Zhou Mengying had Qinglan step in and used He Chengfeng's power to pull off some underhanded tactics, putting Susu in the first match of the annual competition against Qinglan!

The first match was a complete rout; the Zhou family had no intention of giving Su Su a chance to shine!

Huo Junyan couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement, and said with a smile, "Chairman He is a fan of your Qinglan, but before he became a fan of Qinglan, he was a die-hard fan of Bai Nuannuan. In other words, Bai Nuannuan was Chairman He's white moonlight!"

The words "white moonlight" instantly froze the smile on Zhou Mengying's face.

She turned to her assistant beside her: "Is that so?"

The assistant said awkwardly, "President Zhou, Bai Nuannuan is not only Mr. He's white moonlight, but also the white moonlight of all the big shots in the radio circle. Judges Lin, Chen, Xu and Song on stage were all fans of Bai Nuannuan back then."

"Bai Nuannuan was incredibly popular back then. When she retired from the entertainment industry, a male fan even threatened to jump off a building to force her to return. She had a huge influence, so it's very bad that Su Su is now wearing the cheongsam that Bai Nuannuan wore when she retired..."

"!!!"

Upon hearing these words, Zhou Mengying's frozen smile shattered completely.

She mustered her last bit of courage and said, "Even so, Bai Nuannuan has been out of the entertainment industry for so many years and has long been forgotten. The judges would never be affected!"

To everyone's surprise, as soon as the words were spoken, one by one, the judges on the stage, including He Chengfeng, stood up from their seats!

As they watched Su Muci appear, they all showed expressions of shock, and some even had tears welling up in their eyes!

"Old He, am I seeing things?"

"Warm and cozy...so warm and cozy!"

He Chengfeng even wanted to leave the judges' panel and go on stage to get a clear view, but he was stopped by the people next to him.

"Old He, I know you're excited, but don't rush to conclusions. Nuannuan retired from the entertainment industry twenty years ago! It might not be her!"

"Okay, okay, I'll take another look..."

He Chengfeng sat back down, but his eyes were glued to Su Su, and he couldn't move.

This scene caught Zhou Mengying's eye, and the hand she had hidden under the table clenched tightly, her eyes flashing like knives as she looked at Qinglan on the stage.

Queen Qinglan blew kisses to the entire audience from afar.

moment--

"Your Majesty! Go for it, Your Majesty!"

"Queen Qinglan will prevail!"

It forcefully drew attention back.

Qinglan glanced at the enthusiasm of the fans in the audience, smiled faintly, turned to Su Muci, and her eyes revealed contempt: You think you can beat me with just a cheongsam? Dream on!

Su Muci was not in a hurry; she and Qinglan stood side by side on the PK stage.

The host solemnly announced the PK rules: one song will determine the winner!

"Next, Qinglan, the radio queen who has won the title for five consecutive years, will present the first song of this competition, 'Cool'!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the entire studio went out instantly, leaving only a beam of pale blue spotlight illuminating the center of the stage.

Qinglan slowly walked to the microphone stand, her phoenix mask gleaming with a cold, elegant luster under the dim blue light.

She gently raised her hand, her fingertips brushing against the microphone stand, a simple gesture that immediately drew wild screams from the fans below the stage.

"Queen! Queen! Queen!"

Amidst the unified shouts, the prelude flowed out slowly like a stream.

Qinglan slightly turned her head, her gaze sweeping across the entire room, her red lips curving into a confident smile.

"As night falls and the air grows cooler, fallen petals turn to frost..."

Her voice is ethereal yet textured, and every transition is handled impeccably.

At just the right moment, virtual snowflakes began to fall from the large screen behind the stage, enveloping her in a poignant and beautiful atmosphere.

When she sang the chorus, Qinglan gracefully raised her hand, her fingertips gently tracing the "snowflakes" falling from the sky.

This impromptu action caused the audience to erupt in cheers once again.

"Ahhh, Qinglan is so beautiful!"

"That voice is simply heavenly!"

As the song's emotions progressed, Qinglan's performance became increasingly immersive.

She tilted her head slightly, the lamplight outlining the graceful lines of her neck, her voice trembling with an almost theatrical quality: "The cool night air flows with longing for you, turning into spring mud to nurture me..."

This immediately triggered a burst of sobbing.

"Qinglan's singing broke my heart!"

"This is the Queen's skill; she can express emotions so perfectly!"

At the end of the song, Qinglan slowly knelt on the stage, her hands gently touching her chest, and sang the last line of the lyrics with great emotion: "A worn-out heart, still holds some hatred from a past life..."

As the last note faded, she remained kneeling, her head slightly bowed.

The silence lasted only a moment before erupting into deafening applause and cheers.

"Qinglan! Qinglan! Qinglan!"

On the judging panel, several judges nodded and wrote high scores on the scoreboard.

Even He Chengfeng, who had been keeping a close eye on Su Muci, had to admit that Qinglan's influence was undeniable.

Qinglan slowly rose and gracefully bowed to the audience.

As she turned to leave the center stage, she brushed past Su Muci, who was walking slowly towards her, and said contemptuously in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"This is a song I'm sending to you, Su Su. You're completely finished!"
