Chapter 17 Chapter 17

The audience's reaction needs no further explanation.

The difference in the two's creations was clear.

The barrage of comments scrolled wildly.

[No need to say anything more, just one sentence, Meng Yuansheng is awesome!!!]

[Ahhhhhhhh! Who could imagine that such a good song was heard on a talent show stage!]

[I'm about to cry! I've been immersed in my previous relationship for the past few years and couldn't get out, but this song gave me courage. Let those bad things stay at the bottom of the sea, I'm going to swim up! I'm going to see the sunlight!]

…

Shen Yu's fingers gently rested on the strings, his heart surging, unable to calm down for a long time.

He hadn't played so exhilaratingly in a long time.

This song gave him the feeling he had when he first heard a song as a child, which led him to pursue a career in music.

He looked at Meng Yuansheng with a gentle expression: "This song is very good. If you want to release a single or album later, you can find me. My company has the best production team and recording studio."

Shen Yu's fans were no longer as excited as before, all of them looking like they had "guessed it all along."

After listening to Meng Yuansheng's singing, they knew that with Shen Yu's personality, how could he possibly let such a talented person slip away from him.

Meng Yuansheng was a little surprised.

But he was no longer the timid person he used to be. Gu Xing's recognition and support gave him endless confidence.

He lifted his head, meeting Shen Yu's gaze, neither humble nor arrogant: "Thank you, I'll consider it."

Shen Yu patted him on the shoulder appreciatively, then took the host's microphone: "This round, I choose Meng Yuansheng."

After saying that, he didn't look at Jiang Mo and turned back to his seat.

His words were like a thunderbolt in the venue.

Originally, the program team was worried that this judgment would cause embarrassment between the mentors, so the mentors didn't need to express their opinions, but instead leave it to the professional judges and the audience.

Who knew that Shen Yu's words completely disregarded Jiang Mo's feelings.

Jiang Mo's fans were naturally dissatisfied, and secretly attacked Shen Yu and Meng Yuansheng.

Who knew that Shen Yu's fans didn't tolerate them at all, and they all brushed "[This round, I choose Meng Yuansheng]" in the barrage.

This angered Jiang Mo's fans to death.

Jiang Mo was filled with resentment.

How could this be?!

This was an ending he hadn't expected at all.

He couldn't describe the emotions in his heart.

It was like regret.

Regret that he hadn't discovered Meng Yuansheng's talent, and regret that he hadn't been careful enough to be discovered by Meng Yuansheng cheating, otherwise, with Meng Yuansheng's deep affection for him, these good songs would be his now.

It was also like anger.

Anger at Meng Yuansheng for participating in the talent show and challenging him, putting him in this predicament.

He glared at Meng Yuansheng.

But he saw a smile suddenly appear on Meng Yuansheng's face.

Confident, proud, full of vigor.

Jiang Mo was stunned.

That gem he had discarded was now free of dust, gradually revealing its unparalleled brilliance.

No!

No!

Endless panic and jealousy suddenly spread through Jiang Mo's heart, and he unconsciously blurted out: "No! This isn't your song! You can't write songs at all!!"

How could Meng Yuansheng write a song that even he couldn't write!! He didn't believe it!

This song must not have been written by him!

Either he plagiarized someone else's song, or someone was ghostwriting for him!

Yes!!

That must be it!

Jiang Mo stared at Meng Yuansheng with a twisted expression, his handsome face appearing somewhat ferocious.

Then he saw Meng Yuansheng chuckle lightly, calm yet with a hint of pity, and said: "Mentor Jiang Mo, are you accusing me of plagiarizing your song?"

Before Jiang Mo could answer, the barrage had already exploded.

[Damn! Jiang Mo actually dares to say that Meng Yuansheng plagiarized him?! The challenge topic was given by himself, Meng Yuansheng never left the stage, everyone saw him write it with their own eyes, how could he plagiarize? Plagiarize from his brain?]

[Hahahaha! Do the sisters above have some misunderstanding about Jiang Mo's brain? His brain is full of口水歌 (literally 'saliva songs', meaning low-quality, uninspired songs), how could he create such a shocking song?]

[I knew it, why would Jiang Mo slander a small trainee online for plagiarism, it turns out he was jealous of the other person's talent, so he deliberately smeared him, really disgusting (I'm talking about Jiang Mo)]

[Anyone who still says Meng Yuansheng plagiarized is either Jiang Mo's toxic fan, or has a bad brain, or both, choose one.]

…

Downstairs, Yin Heifeng, who had watched this farce, was dumbfounded: "Brother Gu, you were right, this really is a good show!"

"But Brother, you're really calm!" Yin Heifeng joked, "To be honest, seeing your confident look, I almost thought you had guessed what Jiang Mo would ask for beforehand, hahahahahaha…"

Gu Xing smiled without saying a word.

Actually, Yin Heifeng guessed half right.

He didn't guess the topic, but he guessed the person Jiang Mo was.

After knowing that Jiang Mo had stolen Meng Yuansheng's lyrics and passed them off as his own, he thought of an inappropriate analogy: when you find one cockroach in your house, there might already be hundreds or thousands.

Jiang Mo might have had some talent.

But when he had evil thoughts and stole Meng Yuansheng's lyrics, he received praise such as "creative genius," "excellent in both lyrics and composition," and even gained a friend like Shen Yu, who was practically a golden finger.

After enjoying such convenience, would he still work hard to create like before?

Gu Xing felt that he wouldn't.

So he asked the melon-eating system again, and sure enough, the system told him that Jiang Mo actually had several ghostwriters secretly, and some previously unknown creators sent him their works, which were also stolen and altered by him. The creators wanted to sue him, but they were weak and threatened, and could only let it go.

He kept these things secret, even Meng Yuansheng didn't know, only vaguely feeling that his composition style was not uniform, but he didn't expect him to do this.

Only after Gu Xing told him about this did he suddenly realize, feeling even more ironic.

In the past, Meng Yuansheng secretly learned composition to get closer to Jiang Mo and wanted to surprise him.

But he lacked confidence and never dared to show his creations, which in retrospect, turned out to be a good thing.

Jiang Mo had hardly created anything by himself in recent years, and even if he had had some talent, it might have been taken away by heaven.

And he is suspicious and greedy.

Meng Yuansheng gave him the power to choose the topic, even if he thought there might be problems, he couldn't resist the temptation to cheat, he would definitely choose it.

He had asked Meng Yuansheng to write lyrics for him before, so Meng Yuansheng had seen all his songs.

And Meng Yuansheng, to be safe, specifically proposed writing lyrics, so the range he could choose from would be even narrower.

In the end, Meng Yuansheng was sure that he would definitely choose "sea" as the topic.

To this end, he wrote a new song called "Angry Sea" in the two days before the competition began.

Of course, it's also possible that Jiang Mo would give up this temptation and ask others to choose the topic.

This would only make Gu Xing and the others think more highly of him.

As for Meng Yuansheng, it would just be a fair competition.

As long as it was fair competition, he was never afraid.

Ultimately, talent can break through all rumors.

It's a pity that Jiang Mo's choice did not exceed their judgment of him.

-

What happened at the scene quickly spread across the internet.

The hot searches were even more lively.

#Meng Yuansheng challenges Jiang Mo#

#Meng Yuansheng Angry Sea#

#Shen Yu This round, I choose Meng Yuansheng#

#Meng Yuansheng says Jiang Mo slandered him for plagiarism#

…

[When I listened to Angry Sea, I'm not exaggerating, my whole body got goosebumps. Jiang Mo has released so many songs, they're not even as good as one Angry Sea, how dare he say Meng Yuansheng plagiarized him?]

[As a fan of Shengsheng, tonight I'm so happy! A few days ago, the internet was full of water army, as long as someone spoke for Shengsheng, they would be scolded, I was made to cry several times, but it's only been a few days, Shengsheng personally came out to slap their faces, I just went to look at those who scolded him, they're all deleting their Weibo, hahahahahahaha does anyone understand this feeling of exhilaration!!]

[I do!! I understand it too well!! The main character has strong professional skills, he can slap the faces of the black fans himself, there's no need for the fans to go to the front lines, every day is steady happiness!]

[Why is Jiang Mo constantly targeting Meng Yuansheng, I suddenly thought about it, could it be that the person who plagiarized wasn't Meng Yuansheng, but Jiang Mo himself? So he's feeling guilty and wants to kill someone to silence them?]

Soon, this Weibo post was pushed to the top.

[Prophet!!]

[Brother is awesome! Your guess is so accurate!]

There were also some netizens who didn't know what happened, jumping up and down like badgers who couldn't get to the melons.

[What happened? Can anyone tell me?]

Kind netizens posted a link: [The melon-eating system 10086 has posted, go check it out.]

Netizens instantly clicked in, and their bodies trembled at the first glance.

[Want to be an assistant? The kind that plagiarizes your work, then hires a water army to ruin your reputation?]
