Everyone raised their glasses, took a sip, and was about to put them down when Yan Fenglan, still holding her glass, said with a smile, "But there's a secret about your junior brother that I've never told you. We just discussed it and decided to tell you because he respects you very much and is afraid you'll be angry if you find out his secret. So I'm going to say it upfront. I'll make it clear in a moment, and let's all have a drink together. Don't dwell on it."
Jiang Song and the other two looked at each other.
Ah, there are still secrets?
They were a little dumbfounded.
But they nodded together.
They had a deep respect for Yan Fenglan and dared not show the slightest disrespect. Now that the teacher had spoken, they had to listen.
"Actually, Xiao Jia's last name isn't Jia, so naturally he wouldn't be called Jia Mingzhi."
Yan Fenglan smiled.
Bai Li suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, I see. I was saying yesterday why this name was so weird. Jia Mingzhi, a fake name. So he said it was a fake name yesterday. Oh, why didn't I react at the time? I already noticed it."
Jiang Song and Yan Jian looked at Tang Xiaobao, bewildered.
Tang Xiaobao smiled awkwardly: "I didn't mean it."
"What's the name of that junior brother? Could he be from our circle? I don't think I've ever seen him. With his talent, if he is really from the circle, he must be famous." Jiang Song asked with a frown.
"Oh, I'll be right back."
After saying this, Tang Xiaobao ran straight to the kitchen.
"He's not from the music industry, and he's never had any experience with music before." Yan Fenglan said with a smile, "But he came to me to study music because someone recommended him. He's mainly preparing to participate in China's Voice. He's a complete amateur when it comes to singing techniques and pronunciation, but you must know who he is."
She is still keeping it a secret.
Bai Li and the other two were extremely anxious.
"Impossible, I have never seen him."
"Exactly. I've never seen one, either. I'm sure I'll have an impression of someone I've seen."
"I don't know him either."
Yan Fenglan smiled and said, "You can often see news about him on TV, in newspapers, and online."
"Who is he, teacher? Please stop keeping us in suspense. We can't stand it anymore." Bai Li said anxiously.
"Xiaobao, come out."
Yan Fenglan shouted.
Tang Xiaobao came out of the kitchen.
It was still the same outfit, ordinary and not at all eye-catching, but apart from the clothes and figure, his face had completely changed, from handsome to timid.
"Tang Xiaobao!"
Betty jumped in fright.
"Mr. Tang."
"Mr. Tang."
Jiang Song and Yan Jian were also frightened and stood up, both with expressions as if they had seen a ghost.
"Brother, sister, I'm really sorry for lying to you yesterday. I have my reasons. Please don't take it personally." Tang Xiaobao bowed and apologized with a wry smile.
"No, no, Mr. Tang, you are too polite."
"That's right, Mr. Tang is so polite, how can we be angry?"
"Are you really Tang Xiaobao?" Bai Li swallowed.
So handsome.
"Senior Sister." Tang Xiaobao called out, and then said to Jiang Song and Yan Jian, "Two teachers, please don't call me Mr. Tang. It sounds too formal. Just call me Junior Brother. It's more intimate."
Tang Xiaobao came over and sat down again.
Yan Fenglan waved her hand: "Sit down, everyone! Why are you all standing there?"
The three of them sat down, but they still looked incredulous. They stared at Tang Xiaobao, shocked and speechless.
"Are you really Tang Xiaobao?" Jiang Song still couldn't believe it.
Bai Li laughed and said, "How could this be false? You are doubting our teacher. Besides, I often watch the news, and I have seen photos of the junior brother many times. But he is even more handsome than in the photos!"
Yan Jian sighed, "Master, you are indeed a handsome man. Everyone says you are a genius. I didn't believe it before, but now I really believe it. Not only are you a genius, you are also a well-rounded person. Incredible, absolutely amazing."
"Teacher Yan——"
"Don't call me teacher. It's more intimate to call me Brother Yan." Yan Jian said quickly.
"Okay, Brother Yan, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to lie to you. But, apart from my name, I really haven't lied to you about anything. Don't take it to heart. I'm just being frank and lenient."
"So, you really had no musical foundation at all?" Bai Li asked.
Tang Xiaobao nodded.
Bai Li gave a thumbs up and said, "I've never truly been convinced by anyone in my life, but from now on, I truly admire you. You're amazing, Junior Brother."
“Ahem!”
Tang Xiaobao coughed and glanced at Yan Fenglan.
"Oh, besides the teacher, the person I admire most is you." Bai Li changed her words immediately.
Yan Fenglan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Hey, am I that stingy?"
Betty smiled.
"I heard that you are going to participate in China's Voice?" Bai Li asked.
Tang Xiaobao nodded: "Yes."
"Let me tell you."
Yan Fenglan introduced Tang Xiaobao's situation.
Bai Li said, "Why can we only go directly to the semi-finals? I think we should go directly to the finals. With your level, is it any problem for you to win the championship?"
"No problem, absolutely no problem." Jiang Song flattered him.
Yan Jian said: "The production team probably wants to hype it up a bit."
"Then you might as well just find a company to sign a contract with. You can release the record directly and we will help you promote it. Plus, with a word from your teacher, if you want to be famous, you don't even need to participate in China's Voice." Bai Li was not convinced.
"Forget it, Xiaobao has his own considerations. Come on, let me suggest we have another drink."
Tang Xiaobao took over Yan Fenglan's words, quickly raised his glass, and said, "Come on, Senior Brother Jiang, Senior Brother Yan, Senior Sister Bai, I really didn't mean to deceive you. Come, I'll toast you a glass as an apology. Don't take it to heart."
"How could that be? We are not that stingy. I can brag about having such a great senior brother like you for the rest of my life. We are really lucky." Jiang Song said with a smile.
Yan Jian also nodded.
Bai Li stared at Tang Xiaobao's face, her eyes...
She drank it all in one gulp, her cheeks flushed, and she said, "Junior brother, since we are all senior and junior sisters, I take back what I said just now. You can be a guest at my concert. It's not like I'm bringing you along, but you're supporting me. Is that okay?"
"Oh, Senior Sister, I really don't have time."
"I didn't even mention the time, do you know what time it is?"
"I don't know, but I certainly don't have the time."
Tang Xiaobao refused to give in.
"Xiaobao, do you have any ideas for this year's Spring Festival Gala? If so, I'll let you know and you can appear on the show." Yan Fenglan said, "Don't think I'm doing you a favor. I want more people to hear your voice and see you perform. I'm working for the benefit of TV viewers across the country."
Tang Xiaobao blushed and said, "Teacher, let's talk about this later. It's still early now."
"Okay, we'll talk about it later."
