Chapter 9: Performing Skills, Not Playing the Victim; The Debunker of the Scandal

"Life is always tough for ordinary people, isn't it?"

"That's why we choose to improve ourselves and do some challenging things, hoping to get unexpected surprises."

"For example, come and participate in the Dragon Kingdom's Best Singer Competition."

Wang Yueheng smiled and said casually.

His tone and demeanor were completely unlike those of a naive twenty-year-old.

He knew it very well.

Once a persona of playing the victim is established, they are labeled as someone who becomes famous by "playing the victim."

They spread the word by echoing what others said.

This label is likely something you'll never be able to shake off in your lifetime.

It could even overshadow the brilliance of the work.

This has attracted a large number of haters and caused unnecessary trouble.

"Haha, as expected of this dark horse young man, he's really good!"

"Yes, none of us ordinary people have an easy life. We all find our own ways to have fun."

"Sigh, I miss my technician number 49 again..."

"Hey fan, please feel free to tell your story!"

Wang Yueheng's words resonated with almost every viewer.

The live stream room, which had been quiet and waiting for him to complain and play the victim, immediately became lively again.

"You silly child..."

Seeing that Wang Yueheng was unwilling to cooperate with the show and play the victim no matter what, mentor Nami gave a helpless bitter smile.

"Now, Nami-sensei, please give your choice!"

"Your choice will directly affect whether Wang Yueheng is promoted or remains in the selection area!"

The host, Hua Shao, picked up the microphone.

He spoke in an emotionally charged tone.

The atmosphere became tense once again.

Whether she advances or remains on the waiting list depends on the decision of this beautiful mentor!

"Is that even a question? Of course it's YES, absolutely approved!"

"Keep it up, Wang Yueheng!"

We look forward to seeing even more amazing performances from you on the next stage!

"I can say that," Nami said confidently into the microphone.

"Wow!"

"Yay!"

Upon hearing the announcement of the final advancement results from mentor Nami, a burst of applause and cheers erupted from the audience.

Everyone was applauding and cheering for Wang Yueheng, who had advanced to the top 16.

"Not only did I pass, but I also want to give this talented and handsome young man a big hug!"

As he spoke.

Young female mentor Nami rushed onto the stage, opened her arms, and gently hugged Wang Yueheng.

This sudden action startled everyone present.

This is the first time in the four seasons of The Singer that Nami has taken the initiative to go on stage and give a hug to a male contestant!

Female mentor Nami put her arm around Wang Yueheng's shoulder and congratulated him, saying, "Congratulations, Yueheng! I wish your father a speedy recovery and look forward to your even more brilliant performances!"

"Thanks!"

Smelling the fresh perfume on the other person, Wang Yueheng's face flushed slightly as he spoke.

I don't know whether to call this beautiful mentor "sister" or "younger sister".

"ah!"

"I'm so happy!"

"I really want to hug Nami too!"

The audience immediately erupted in cheers.

Only Professor Yuan Jixiang, who was sitting in the fourth seat, had a dark expression and was forced to force an awkward smile in front of the camera.

Meanwhile, Ren Yiwen, an idol singer sitting in the contestant's seat, had her brows furrowed into a deep frown.

I couldn't help but worry about my upcoming matches.

"Ding~"

"Random sign-in task completed, emotional infection rate reached 70%, will receive a powerful critical hit reward!"

The moment I qualified for the next round.

A system notification suddenly rang in Wang Yueheng's ears.

…

Back office area.

"Da da da"

Fan Shanshan, the agent of Ren Yiwen's entertainment company, stormed into the general producer's office of Dragon Country's Best Singer in high heels.

"What's going on, Producer Ni? Are you secretly colluding with Shenglong Entertainment behind our backs?"

The agent, without any regard for the other staff members, shouted at the executive producer, Ni Yongying.

"Do as I just said, and close the door."

Executive producer Ni Yongying frowned, turned to the other staff members, gave them a brief instruction, and asked everyone to leave.

"What brings our manager Fan here? Sit down and have some water to calm down."
