The resulting market capitalization and profits are the envy of many.

Qin Xiyao, in particular, received the most attention.

After all, the reason why Tianlai has such a good foundation is mainly because of her unique vision.

As a result, Qin Xiyao's name became widely known, and she became a celebrity in the industry.

And Tianlai also became one of their main partners.

However, the situation is somewhat different now.

Originally, Tianlai was supposed to help the protagonist Ye Feng later in the story, becoming a major asset to him and providing considerable assistance in the later stages.

It's just that it has already deviated from that path.

The essence of Tianlai is gone; it was destroyed by Ye Feng himself.

Because of the overlapping world lines and interconnected storylines, everything has changed.

This match, which shouldn't be a cause for concern, is now tinged with worry.

There is absolutely no hope in sight.

Without a solid foundation, participating in such a competition is a complete joke. All the truly talented singers have been poached, and those who remain are currently not even good enough to be considered successful.

If they were to actually play, let alone the top ten, even the top fifty would be in serious trouble.

They might be eliminated in the first round.

After all, the physical confrontation in a competition is one thing.

Whoever is stronger will advance.

But now there are external obstacles, which makes the difficulties even greater.

Luo Chen came here today mainly to understand the situation and see how to deal with it.

Of course, the most important thing is whether Qin Xiyao and he have a tacit understanding.

If so, then there is still a chance.

If not, then we have no choice but to give up and play our trump card.

As the recording began, the studio lights focused on the stage.

The humorous and witty host delivered the opening remarks, preventing the atmosphere from becoming dull.

Although the invited celebrity wasn't entirely satisfactory, he was still a popular young idol.

Even if there is some dissatisfaction, it will not attract much attention.

On the contrary, they actually enjoy watching the celebrity answer the host's questions while looking at the teleprompter.

Since it's a pre-recorded broadcast, the backstage staff will handle these details; they don't need to worry about them.

As a member of the atmosphere-building team, Luo Chen was happy to watch, after all, it was a different kind of experience.

But to Luo Chen's surprise, the celebrity invited this time was Zhang Fan.

It turns out it was previously under the Teana brand.

They were invited because their album "Small Bowl Noodles" was a hit on Tianlai.

However, the host did not ask why Zhang Fan chose to leave Tianlai, but instead simply switched to another company.

It's clear to anyone with eyes to see that this is a sensitive matter.

This program needs to reach a large audience, and if such public opinion were to erupt, it would be bad for Zhang Fan's reputation.

As a host, I am aware of this.

But Zhang Fan was so famous that even if the host didn't ask, Luo Chen could understand the gist of it just by listening to the people around him talking.

He subconsciously touched his chin.

Zhang Fan is one of the singers Qin Xiyao values ​​most, according to the original storyline.

Zhang Fan also came in fifth place in the competition for the strongest singer.

Putting aside the explosive popularity of his small bowl of noodles, as a top-tier young idol, his fan base would never allow Zhang Fan to fail to even make it into the top ten.

That's why Zhang Fan easily secured fifth place without any trouble.

With a huge fan base, if it weren't for the overwhelming strength of the top contenders, the championship would probably already be his.

[By the way, Qin Xiyao probably didn't come, right?]

[If she came and saw Zhang Fan here, I wonder what she would think.]

[Zhang Fan's album sold so well thanks in no small part to her efforts and management. Now that she's switched labels, she shows absolutely no gratitude.]

[What would Qin Xiyao think if she saw this?]

[The host successfully dissed the opponent; reward: +3 Intelligence.]

Realizing that Qin Xiyao probably wouldn't have time to come here now, Luo Chen stopped thinking about it.

Watching the host begin the interactive segment.

Zhang Fan remained calm, clearly having already reviewed the script.

An assistant walked off the stage with a microphone.

It was handed over to the designated actor.

A beautiful and aloof woman dressed as a professional lady slowly stood up, attracting a lot of attention.

Although everyone knows that this kind of segment usually involves invited actors asking questions, no one expected that this actor would not only have such a strong presence but also be so beautiful.

Dressed like an OL, she was beautiful and charming.

Looking at her shapely figure, her curves were on full display.

Some people's eyes widened in disbelief.

Luo Chen's eyes widened in surprise, and he was completely dumbfounded.

[Holy crap, what's Qin Xiyao doing here?!]

Luo Chen was stunned. He had just been thinking that she wasn't there, but in the blink of an eye, she had stood up.

This is so dramatic!

"May I ask, what gave you the confidence to leave Tianlai and make this decision?"

"It's talent!"

When asked a question by Qin Xiyao, Zhang Fan did not look at her at first, but instead looked at the teleprompter.

Zhang Fan recited the words displayed on the teleprompter without even thinking.

With calm confidence, he awaited the applause.

However, when he said those words, the applause he expected did not appear, and Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment.

Only then did he turn his gaze to Qin Xiyao.

Zhang Fan was completely dumbfounded at that glance.

This is insane!

What brings the General Manager of Tianlai here!

And they even became part of the atmosphere-building team, what are they trying to do?

The most important thing is, why didn't the girl holding the teleprompter change his lines?

Isn't this just trying to embarrass him?

"Talent?"

Qin Xiyao gave a cold laugh. Her eyes were indifferent, and she showed no sign of anger as she stared coldly at Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan couldn't help but shrink his neck, feeling that his aura was not as strong as Qin Xiyao's.

After all, his achievements were inseparable from the other party's help.

"Do you feel that Tianlai has let you down, or is it that Tianlai cannot satisfy your talent?"

"You'd rather pay an exorbitant penalty to leave Tianlai. Are you trying to tell others that your talent can still shine elsewhere even without the support of your former employer?"

"..."

Faced with Qin Xiyao's sharp words, the heated atmosphere on the field suddenly turned cold.

Everyone looked at her strangely, and then at Zhang Fan.

I want to see how Zhang Fan explains it.

Although everyone understands this situation, isn't it a bit too much to say it out loud like this?

Zhang Fan is a top-tier celebrity, no matter what, and he was questioned like this for no reason.

His fans were immediately unhappy.

But then he heard someone say that this woman was Zhang Fan's former employer.

When the general manager of Tianlai was appointed, some people silently shut their mouths.

Although it's a bit hard to understand why Zhang Fan's former employer suddenly came here to act as the atmosphere-maker, it's all due to their past personal grudges.
