Chapter 17 Appears! The Legendary Business War! ...
#Ji Jingchuan praised Shang Que for his beautiful singing#
Under this trending search, a netizen posted a screenshot of his previous Weibo post saying that Shang Que’s singing was bad.
[Singing Like My Grandma Talking in Her Sleep at Night]
[Ji Jingchuan, I still like your unruly side.]
[The Dabi Doubu from a month ago is now hitting me right in the face. Does it hurt? Hahahaha.]
[That was what Ji Jingchuan said. What does it have to do with me, Erlang Shen?]
Of course, some people take it seriously.
[It's obvious that Feng Ye sings the best. I don't understand why they didn't choose him.]
[I also think that among these people, only Feng Ye is professional. Wouldn't Ji Jingchuan be able to tell whether the original lyrics and music are good?]
[It's hard to choose, no matter who sings the best
Everyone else would be unhappy if he heard it, so it would be better to just choose Shang Que, so that everyone would know that he made a blind choice.
[Come on, Ji Jingchuan isn't someone who would consider other people's feelings. He didn't choose Feng Ye because he could tell. His lyrics and music aren't as spiritual as the ones Ji Jingchuan wrote when he was seventeen.]
[Haha, fans, stop trying to make fun of me. Does your brother's well-written song mean it's a completely unpopular song online? How did you know Ji Jingchuan's first single won the Best Arrangement Award?]
Ji Jingchuan was distracted the entire time. He probably didn't even listen to what the others sang. He only caught Shang Que's last song.
[However, his dazed expression really does resemble the scene where the villain and the protagonist are in their final battle and suddenly hear their childhood sister singing in their arms.]
[And Ji Jingchuan's illness and brokenness are completely exaggerated, which is exactly the feeling of a villain having his psychological defenses broken! ]
【Thank you very much. 】
At this moment, Feng Ye was looking at these comments in the room, his face becoming more and more gloomy.
It's always like this. Because they are in the same group, whatever he does will be compared with Ji Jingchuan. Because the halo of fame at a young age is too dazzling, no matter how hard he works, in the eyes of netizens, he is not as talented as the seventeen-year-old Ji Jingchuan.
As long as Ji Jingchuan is around, everyone else will always live under his shadow.
Just like now, all the hot searches are about him, even #Ji Jingchuan's super Erlang Shen imitation makeup# can easily rush to the first place, while the original song he prepared for a long time just barely made it to the end. The highest hot search even has Shang Que saying that he came in last, which is also very impressive.
There is a huge difference between being popular and not being popular.

Ji Jingchuan, on the other hand, was completely oblivious to this. After the livestream ended, he returned to his room and fell asleep. Perhaps it was the injection or Shang Que's scraping therapy that had taken effect, but when he woke up the next day, he was back to his former energetic self, full of energy and vitality, ready to kill a bull.
The pain in his body was gone, and Ji Jingchuan even felt more comfortable with the red mark on his nose. When he walked downstairs with a relaxed mood, Shang Que was sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.
Without even looking up, she said, "There's porridge in the kitchen."
Ji Jingchuan paused, raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "Oh, you even made porridge for me?"
"How is that possible?" Shang Que said with a look of "you're dreaming". "It wasn't me, stop being so self-indulgent."
At this time, Ning Sheng passed by with a bowl of porridge. Hearing their bickering, he couldn't help but laugh and interjected, "Feng Ye made the porridge, but Shang Que did intend to make porridge too, but it ended up being rice."
Shang Que defended himself: "I just steamed lunch for everyone."
"You care about me, but you still don't admit it." Ji Jingchuan was so proud that his tail was almost up in the sky. "Let this genius come and appreciate your craftsmanship."
He swaggered into the kitchen, and soon, a shocked voice came from inside: "Shang Que, did you cook the program team's granary?"
[It's hilarious! Shang Que added rice when there was too much water, and then added water when there was too much rice. As he added more, the rice pushed the lid up.]
[Casserole: I am the one who cooked rice.]
I don't know what to do with it. I hope it won't be thrown away. It seems like such a waste.
Ji Jingchuan stayed in the kitchen for a while and came out with two rice balls in his hands. He put one of them on the table in front of Shang Que and took away the porridge she was drinking without saying anything: "Don't drink it, the porridge is not nutritious, eat this."
Shang Que didn't move, "You made this with the rice I cooked?"
"uh-huh."
"Oh, I don't want to eat it." Shang Que was very self-aware, "The rice I cooked is undercooked."
As she was about to take the bowl of porridge back, one hand gripped the rim of the bowl. Ji Jingchuan seemed to have anticipated this: "Such a simple question, how could it stump a genius like me? Just poke a hole, add water, and simmer for a while, and it'll be cooked."
[I'm going to try it now. The rice I ruined yesterday can be saved!]
[I never thought that one day I would be able to learn cooking knowledge from Ji Jingchuan. ]
【But the rice balls he made do look very appetizing. 】
Shang Que was skeptical. He picked up the rice ball and took a bite. The rice was cooked, and there was ham, pork floss and salad dressing in the middle.
Ning Sheng watched from the side. Shang Que gave her half of the food. After tasting it, she gave it a thumbs-up and praised it generously, saying, "It's delicious. This is good enough for a stall or a shop."
Her words soon came true. When the variety show began taping that morning, the director said mysteriously, "We're going to a garden party today."
"Want to go to the garden party?" Jiang Yize asked.
"No, I'm going to set up a stall."
Hearing this word, Ning Sheng widened his eyes slightly and gave Shang Que a look that said, "I really haven't read the script."
The director then said, "In an hour, there will be a garden party on the lawn southwest of the villa area. The three of you will set up stalls there. You can choose what to sell from the stalls provided by the production team."
"Every visitor to the fair will receive a token, which can be used to purchase items at the stalls. After the fair, the group with the most tokens will be awarded the title of 'Fair Star' and lifetime free admission to Huanhai Paradise. The total tokens earned by the three groups will be converted into cash and donated to a charity organization in the name of the Friendship House."
【Wow, this event is so meaningful! 】
[And it's actually sponsored by Huanhai Paradise. This must be a childhood memory for most Jinghai children.]
[I didn't expect Ning Sheng to be right. I really have to set up a stall.]
I'm curious what they'll sell.
The director then introduced the rules of setting up stalls. Each group will get an initial stall, and the materials must be purchased on credit from the program team using amusement coins. Finally, after deducting this part of the cost, the net profit they earn is.
The staff gave each group a list with the rental price of each stall and the selling price of the finished products.
[Ice Cream Stand: 50 coins, sold for 1 coin.]
[Ice powder stall: 30 coins, selling price 1 coin.]
[Turkey Noodle Stand: 30 coins, selling price 1 coin.]
…
"Why are ice cream stalls so expensive?" Ning Sheng was tempted, but was deterred by the price of fifty coins.
The director explained: "Because it's equipped with an ice cream machine, all you have to do is use a cone to make ice cream. It's quick to make, and with the recent heat, everyone will definitely want to eat something cool."
Ning Sheng was immediately convinced: "Then our group wants an ice cream stand."
Lin Jinyi and Jiang Yizhe followed closely and chose the ice jelly stall.
The director signed the contract with them with a smile, then turned to look at Shang Que and the others.
Feng Ye flipped through the list and asked, "What does our group sell?"
Shang Que didn't answer immediately, but said warily: "I feel that the director's smile is weird."
Ji Jingchuan disagreed: "Hasn't he always had bad intentions?"
The director coughed twice and said, "Please keep your voices down. I can hear you."
[Shang Que/Ji Jingchuan: Cricket loudly in front of others.]
【Director: Do you still take me seriously? 】
What's the point of saying bad things if you don't tell the person involved?
"What's the secret? I'm telling you this." Ji Jingchuan said frankly, "Our group doesn't want it."
"No?" Feng Ye asked doubtfully, "Then what should we sell?"
As soon as the words fell, Ji Jingchuan and Shang Que raised their eyebrows at the same time: "Rice ball."
*
Each group has decided what they will sell at their stall, and before going to the garden party, they need to make a promotional sign for the stall.
Everyone arrived at the studio. Feng Ye noticed their positions and suggested, "How about we shoot it like this, with Sister Shang Que in the middle, and Xiao Chuan and I on the left and right."
He paused, then turned and asked, "After all, Sister Shang Que is the only girl in our group. Would you have any objection to letting her take the center position, Xiaochuan?"
Ji Jingchuan took a look and suddenly said, "I'll switch sides with you."
Although Feng Ye was a little confused, he still agreed.
After the photo shoot, Ji Jingchuan leisurely wandered over to the staff who were printing the standees, secretly plotting something.
Not long after, the promotional sign of their stall appeared in front of him, and Feng Ye finally understood why Ji Jingchuan wanted to switch seats with him.
On the promotional poster for the three characters, Ji Jingchuan stands on the left, with the words "Genius on the Left" gleaming above his head. He stands on the right, with the words "Madman on the Right" written above. Shang Que, in the middle, has been photoshopped onto a crown with the words "I am in the middle, I am the Son of Heaven."
The blank space was printed with their stall name and promotional slogan: Emperor’s Rice Ball – Please have a rice ball, Your Majesty. Only when you are full will you have the strength to go to court.
Feng Ye: ...
【Hahahaha why is Feng Ye a lunatic. 】
【Because we Chuan Chuan want to be geniuses! 】
[Ji Jingchuan, go open a store. You really are a marketing talent.]
[He calls me the emperor, how can I not buy him a rice ball? Where is the registration link? Let me go!]
[Your Majesty, please think twice. This is all Ji Jingchuan's trick.]
【
Come, I will order you to commit suicide! How dare you slander my beloved concubine?
The other two groups also quickly made promotional signs. Lu Zhixu and Ning Sheng made two ice cream cones, each holding one, and took a poster with a very youthful feel. Lin Jinyi and Jiang Yize focused on the ice jelly itself, and the two of them shrank into little people sitting on taro balls.
After completing the pre-task, everyone set off for the garden party. The huge lawn was decorated with several garlands and pillars, decorated with balloons and ribbons, creating a very childlike atmosphere.
Everyone set up their stalls. There were still a few minutes before the garden party started. Ji Jingchuan first pinched a bird-shaped rice ball and handed it to Shang Que, then divided the work: "Shang Que cooked the rice, so she will be in charge of collecting the money. I will make the rice balls. You can stay where it's cool."
Feng Ye's expression changed slightly.
Seeing this, Shang Que explained, "He said you should find a cool place to stand and shout, and bring customers to us."
[Is this really what you mean? I don’t believe it.]
[Shang Que's emotional intelligence seems to have improved when he stands next to Ji Jingchuan.]
[Ji Jingchuan isn't lacking emotional intelligence, he's just pure malice, hahahaha.]
Because they hadn't purchased a stall from the production team, their group was assigned the farthest spot from the entrance. Each visitor only had one coin, so if they didn't recruit others, they would probably have used up all their coins at the ice cream and jelly stands.
Feng Ye nodded: "Okay, I'll go over first. Just call me if you need any help."
Not long after he left, the garden party officially began.
People came in one after another: parents with children, groups of two or three, young couples holding hands. But without exception, everyone stopped at the ice cream and jelly stands, while their rice ball stand was completely deserted.
Ji Jingchuan put the tenth bear rice ball he had made into the box and said irritably, "Why is no one coming? Is Fengye not working hard enough?"
"What's going on? Why are we, the Emperor, left alone to guard the country's borders? Don't you all want to be the Emperor?"
Because no one came and saw their sign.
[It was hilarious! Feng Ye just went to solicit customers, and the girl asked what kind of rice balls they were. He said Tianzi rice balls, and she rolled her eyes.]
【Young lady: You must be crazy.】
[One initiative leads to a lifetime of introversion.]
At this moment, a shadow suddenly fell on the stall, and Ji Jingchuan immediately looked up: "The main point -"
When he saw it was Lu Zhixu, he frowned and looked disgusted: "Why are you here?"
"It's a bit pitiful that you haven't opened for so long." Lu Zhixu smiled and handed over an amusement coin, "Give me a rice ball."
Ji Jingchuan was about to say no, but Shang Que suddenly took the money and asked, "What kind of rice balls do you want?"
"Rabbit-shaped, with pork floss and fried dough sticks."
Shang Que glanced over and Ji Jingchuan curled his lips and started to do it reluctantly.
After Lu Zhixu left, he pursed his lips unhappily, turned around and saw Shang Que throwing the amusement coins in his hand and waving at him.
A minute later, Ji Jingchuan appeared in front of the ice jelly stall: "Give me a bowl of ice jelly."
There were an equal number of people buying ice jelly and ice cream. Lin Jinyi and the others were busy running around. When they looked up and saw it was him, they refused without thinking: "No, don't come and make trouble."
"What's the trouble?" Ji Jingchuan was dissatisfied. "If Shang Que didn't insist on eating it, who would bother to buy it?"
When Lin Jinyi heard that it was Shang Que who wanted to eat, he changed his attitude: "Okay, give me the coins."
After receiving the money, Jiang Yize quickly made him a bowl of ice jelly, adding plenty of ingredients such as taro balls and red beans: "Go ask Sister Shang Que what toppings she likes. You can add more if you don't have enough."
Ji Jingchuan said "Oh", took it, scooped up a spoonful and stuffed it into his mouth.
Jiang Yize was stunned: "It's not for—"
Before he could finish his words, Ji Jingchuan's face suddenly changed and he shouted, "It's poisonous!" Then he slowly fell down, holding his stomach in pain.
Lin Jinyi widened her eyes in horror: "Don't try to scam me!"
At this time, Shang Que ran over like a gust of wind, squatted down, shook Ji Jingchuan's arm, and shouted anxiously: "Ji Jingchuan, are you okay? What happened to you?"
A voice came from the chaotic crowd: "It seems to be eaten with ice jelly!"
"I've always told you not to eat something cold on an empty stomach on a hot day. The conflict between hot and cold isn't good for your health." Shang Que stuffed a rice ball into his mouth. "Hurry up and eat some rice balls to fill your stomach. I watched this place make the rice balls myself. They're made with rich ingredients, clean and hygienic, and suitable for both adults and children!"
【？ ？ ？ ？】
【Hahahaha, what a clunky product placement.】
[Shang Que's sense of belief is so strong that he didn't even laugh.]
【Appeared! The legendary business war! 】
