After Jiang He's thank-you speech, The Voice of China program came to an end tonight.

After the show ended, Jiang He, along with the staff of The Voice of China, other contestants, and the four mentors, had a dinner together.

It can also be considered a celebration banquet, to celebrate the perfect end of this year's Voice of China, which has reached a new high in popularity.

It happened less than an hour after The Voice of China ended.

The annual champion of The Voice of China was announced, with Jiang He taking the title, and related terms such as "blue and white porcelain" trending on various platforms.

In particular, the hashtag "Jiang He won the championship" immediately topped the trending search list.

It can be said that it became incredibly popular.

Jiang He's popularity also skyrocketed.

While going to the restroom, Jiang He opened the system page and heard the familiar system notification sound.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have gained 5,891,000 popularity points!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have gained 7,416,000 popularity points!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have gained 8,735,000 popularity points!]

In just a few hours, Jiang He amassed a staggering 8 million popularity points!

This is an instant way to get rich!

When the dinner ended, Teacher Liu Huan thought of the stage where Jiang He gave him a private thank-you speech.

Having been in the industry for so many years, Teacher Liu Huan has a very clear understanding of people's hearts. It's certain that Jiang He is genuinely grateful to him from the bottom of her heart and truly believes that he has taught her a lot.

Wang Feng and Na Ying privately told him that Jiang He had made great progress, had developed a stage presence, and had improved in various skills.

They asked if he had been giving Jiang He special tutoring in private.

Otherwise, how could Jiang He have made such great progress in just a few classes and such a short time?

But Liu Huan was well aware that his guidance to Jiang He was indeed valuable.

But it's absolutely impossible to say that it could help Jiang He achieve such a transformative improvement.

If someone else took this class and was even half as good as Jiang He, they would be a genius.

Jiang He's transformation is largely due to his talent and self-taught abilities.

Thinking back, he had told Jiang He that he would introduce him to professors at the Imperial Conservatory of Music so that he could audit classes there.

Teacher Liu Huan felt that there was no time to lose, so she decided to take Jiang He with her to meet people during this trip back to the capital.

He's taken on the title of teacher after all.

It's only right to take care of your own students.

So he made a promise with Jiang He that they would go back to the capital together tomorrow, rest for a day, and then go to the Capital Conservatory of Music together the day after tomorrow, which is Saturday, so he could introduce him to people.

Jiang He was overjoyed.

"Thank you, Teacher Liu Huan."

After the dinner, they returned to the hotel where the production crew was staying.

The next morning, Jiang He went to have breakfast and happened to run into Deng Ziqi.

When Deng Ziqi saw Jiang He, his eyes lit up, and he brought over his tray to eat at the same table as Jiang He.

"Jiang He, when are you going back to the capital?"

"This afternoon, my flight is at five o'clock this afternoon. What's wrong, Teacher Ziqi?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to ask if you'll be writing any more songs soon."

"I really like your music style. My new album is in the works, and I've already prepared nine songs. I'm just one song short. I'd like to invite you to write this song. What do you think?"

Jiang He had a good impression of Deng Ziqi. In addition, when the Jiang family had planned to cyberbully him, Deng Ziqi even stood up for him and privately sent him messages of encouragement and support.

Jiang He agreed very readily.

"Of course, Teacher Ziqi—"

Halfway through his sentence, Deng Ziqi laughed and said...

“Jiang He, you can just call me Ziqi. We’re not on the show now, and our relationship is no longer just that of mentor and student.”

"I still want to be your friend. Calling you 'teacher' would be a waste of my seniority."

"Haha, my Ziqi. Do you have any requests for the new song?"

Deng Ziqi thought for a moment,

"I don't have any requirements regarding content or theme, as long as it suits me."

"Okay, I understand. Is there a time requirement?"

"You are now the annual champion of The Voice of China and the number one person on Weibo's trending topics list. With such popularity and strength, your schedule will definitely be very busy in the future."

Deng Ziqi, with the air of someone who's been through it all, said very understandingly.

"There's no rush. Take your time writing. Just give it to me three months in advance. I can start preparing other songs first."

"I'm already very happy that you're willing to write a song for me."

"Okay, Ziqi."

Jiang He nodded, having already decided what song to write for Deng Ziqi.

As a powerful vocalist, her signature song, "Bubble," from a parallel world, is undoubtedly hers.

This can be considered Deng Ziqi's signature song, with a very personal style. It's not certain that anyone else could sing it.

The explosive power is too strong.

The collaboration was finalized, and breakfast was finished.

The two then politely said goodbye and returned to their respective rooms.

At 5 p.m. sharp, I boarded the plane back to Beijing with Teacher Liu Huan.

As soon as I got off the plane, my phone lit up again with a new text message.

Jiang He was busy getting her luggage and subconsciously swiped the QQ icon.

[Jiang He, why aren't you replying to my messages? I'm flying back to China tomorrow. Wait for me at our usual spot; I have something to tell you.]

It was Liu Ruyan.

Jiang He then realized that he had forgotten to block Liu Ruyan's phone number because he was about to go on stage.

On second thought, blocking me wouldn't help.

Given Liu Ruyan's personality, if he blocked her, she would have plenty of other ways to contact him.

They might even come knocking on your door.

Running away is never the solution.

The best way to heal a scar is to look at it and face it.

Hiding and avoiding the spotlight will only allow the wound to fester and fester in the shadows.

His entanglement with Liu Ruyan in his past life had completely exhausted all his love for her.

He never wanted to have any further contact with Liu Ruyan in this lifetime.

Thinking of this, Jiang He replied directly.

"I already know why you became friends with me in the first place. I have no desire to be someone else's substitute. From now on, don't appear in my world again. We have no relationship whatsoever except as strangers."

After replying, Jiang He deleted the message and blocked Liu Ruyan's phone number.

Given Liu Ruyan's proud personality, she probably won't come looking for him again after he said such a thing.

As the youngest daughter of the Liu Group, a wealthy and privileged heiress, Liu Ruyan has been treated like a princess since childhood, proud and willful.

She would never tolerate anyone slapping her in the face.

Not to mention, he also broke through the barrier and exposed her true intentions.

She didn't like him; she used him as a substitute.

It's a secret that even the little princess of the prestigious Liu Group has times when she can't have the love she desires.

This was extremely embarrassing for her.

After doing all this, Jiang He felt much more relaxed and slept soundly through the night back at the hotel.

But unexpectedly, on the other side of the ocean...

Upon seeing Jiang He's message, Liu Ruyan angrily smashed her phone.

An hour later, a luxury private jet took off in a hurry and flew to the capital overnight.
