The entire afternoon was spent discussing the next public opinion strategy. After all, there are so many overseas believers. As long as Fusheng is portrayed as a blasphemer, then in their eyes, Fusheng will never be able to win the Best Contribution Award at this World Arts Conference.

But plans can't keep up with changes. Who could have imagined that Bai Wanqiu's song would completely take the world by storm? She didn't know how popular Bai Wanqiu was, but Miranda could clearly feel that the negative comments about Fusheng were dissipating on a large scale, and were being replaced by an almost frenzied level of popularity!

It's gone viral!

This story, "Floating Life," became inexplicably popular! It went viral across the entire internet in an extremely illogical way!

“There is a very large force behind this in the shadows. Granger is still investigating. So far, the only known open forces are from eight different countries, all of which have good relations with China.”

Abel's expression was also not very good.

"You mean the Shenzhou government wants to protect Fusheng?"

Miranda quickly regained her composure: "Does he have that kind of value?"

“I didn’t say that.”

Abel shook his head: "I don't think the Shenzhou government has intervened; that doesn't align with their long-standing stance. But whether they instructed some influential people in Shenzhou to do so is hard to say."

"You seem so calm, you don't seem worried at all?"

Miranda said with a half-smile, "Don't forget, the only one left to compete with Nice for the Best Contribution Award is Fusheng. The stronger his momentum, the greater the threat he poses to Nice."

"Of course I won't forget."

Abel snorted: "I already have a new plan."

Miranda glanced thoughtfully at Abel, then suddenly frowned: "You didn't send someone to the Vatican, did you?"

Abel's lips curled into a sly smile. Miranda glanced at him, but she knew exactly what Abel was thinking. Her tone was strange: "You're really ruthless. Once the Vatican publicly condemns Fusheng, then Fusheng's influence overseas will be..."

"No one can save him, not even the Chinese government."

Abel smiled, but his tone was grim: "He brought this on himself, so he can't blame me."

…

"What are you guys doing wandering around here?"

The next morning, Zhou Rongze, who had just arrived at the company, noticed Lu Ye, Uncle Qiao, and others loitering outside the recording studio. He asked curiously, "Judging from your appearance, you want to go in, right? Did Shen Yun and the others get a new song again?"

"There is a new song, and it seems pretty good."

Lu Ye spoke honestly, and Zhou Rongze immediately perked up upon hearing this: "Then what are you standing there for? Hurry up and go inside!"

As he spoke, he wanted to barge into the recording studio without any obstacles.

"Mr. Zhou, stop making a fuss, the recording studio isn't open right now."

"What's going on?"

Hey!

Zhou Rongze laughed in anger on the spot. In the entire Tianrui, there was no place that Old Zhou wouldn't allow him to enter.

This is outrageous!

"Who's stopping me from coming in? Tell me! They must have a death wish, daring to..."

Before Zhou Rongze could finish speaking, Uncle Qiao said with a smile, "Xiao Rui said it, and gave a firm order. But President Zhou has a lot of influence, so why don't you show us the way?"

After saying that, Uncle Qiao winked at Lu Ye, Chen Tianye, and the others.

The crowd understood immediately and began to fawn over Zhou Rongze, practically praising him to the skies.

However, Old Zhou's expression was quite unpleasant, especially when he saw Uncle Qiao's mocking look that seemed to say, "Go ahead and try, see if you get kicked out." He was furious.

After clearing his throat, Zhou Rongze immediately adopted a stern posture and waved his hand, saying, "This is work, it has to be kept secret, understand?"

After saying that, seeing Lu Ye and the others whispering to each other as if they had expected it, he got even angrier: "What are you all doing here? Don't you have work to do? It's working hours now. Are you trying to rebel, or are you preparing to write your resignation letters?"

Upon hearing this, the crowd scattered. Zhou Rongze sneered, "A bunch of disrespectful children, I don't believe I can't teach you a lesson!"

After muttering a few words, Zhou Rongze glanced at the closed recording studio, hesitated for a moment, and then turned and left.

cut!

It's a secret, so be it!

Who cares!

"You all practice your songs. I'm going to the music room now and I'll be back later."

"Teacher Fusheng, I will definitely practice the song well and live up to your expectations!"

Compared to the composure of Sun Youlin, Shen Yun, and Bai Wanqiu, Jin Xi and Qi Haoyuan were clearly a little nervous.

The two secured their spots in the top four of the male and female high-pitched groups, and Lin Rui fulfilled his promise by giving them songs.

Because the final four consisted of two rounds, one in the first half and one in the second, everyone, including Shen Yun, received two new songs.

Considering that Shen Yun and others had become incredibly popular and that a large number of media outlets were staking out the company, Lin Rui, despite trusting Tianrui's employees, was also worried about being tricked by foreign capital. Therefore, he decided to isolate everyone and completely seal off the recording studio and instrument room.

Not only Jinxi and Qi Haoyuan, but all the selected people, except for five who were eliminated due to mistakes or poor performance, were assigned works.

Moreover, the quality of their work is extremely high, far exceeding their expectations, and they are all now practicing with all their might.

Of course, Lin Rui will also provide hands-on guidance.

For two consecutive days, these people did not leave Tianrui Building.

As for the public opinion storm, it seems to have subsided on the surface, but in fact Chen Bin and others are still paying close attention. After all, public opinion can change drastically if you are not careful.

They don't believe that foreign capital will give up easily, especially since the voting numbers for Lin Rui and Nice are getting closer and closer.

"Did you receive a new message?"

Seeing Chen Bin's solemn expression, Zhou Rongze frowned slightly: "I just had Lu Ye investigate, and there's been no activity from foreign media, and the topic isn't generating much buzz on overseas forums."

"Take a look for yourself."

Chen Bin forwarded the contents of the email he received to Zhou Rongze.

After watching for a while, Zhou Rongze's expression darkened: "Playing this so ruthlessly?"

"I have predicted several possibilities."

"I have also thought about whether it would alarm the Vatican, and I have analyzed several corresponding solutions."

"But it's clear that the solutions proposed to alarm the Vatican are all reactive."

In response to Chen Bin's explanation, Zhou Rongze gestured for him to stop, saying, "Wait a minute, you've confused me. What do you mean by 'passivity'?"

"Simply put, the Vatican got involved because it was a response to the public outcry after the controversy had escalated."

"This kind of public statement is relatively moderate. It is essentially to maintain the dignity of the Papacy, so the approach will not be too radical."

After explaining briefly, Chen Bin changed the subject: "But the current situation is the worst possible outcome, because the Vatican is not passively issuing statements to the outside world."

Zhou Rongze only understood part of what he heard. After thinking for a moment, he tentatively asked, "Is it because of government intervention?"

"Yes, judging from the information we received, the Luo Kingdom must have sent someone to make contact and even presented a very complete plan."

Chen Bin nodded: "It's a pity that we can't find out the details of the plan, which puts us at a disadvantage. The Vatican has a large number of believers overseas, and this force is enough to destroy all of Mr. Lin's previous efforts."

"That serious?!"

Zhou Rongze suddenly stood up: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's think of a solution quickly!"

After saying that, Zhou Rongze began pacing back and forth in front of the window, looking anxious: "We must contact General Manager Li about this..."

"I have already informed my godfather immediately."

Chen Bin waved his hand: "Fortunately, the Vatican has not yet made an official statement, so we still have time."

At this point, Chen Bin's eyes flickered: "This time, I'm afraid we'll have to ask that person from Xinzhou to step in."
