Chapter 126 Jiang Jingshi's Voice
Lin Zhengran smiled and nodded:
"I did notice something was wrong, but I wanted to ask Sister Jiang a few questions first. Sister Jiang said she had already asked the people below?
Do you mean just asking casually, or are you asking those music experts? After all, since you have decided to go into music, you must have trustworthy music experts under your command.”
Jiang Jingshi looked at Lin Zhengran in surprise and paused for a moment, "Did you really see that? As expected, some of your abilities are better than your sister's. As for the people below, I did ask them, and I didn't ask casually. I have a man named Jiang Cheng under my command.
He is an expert in this field whom I recruited earlier. He has been with me for two years. Steve, the star of this competition, was introduced to me by him through someone else. "
Lin Zhengran was surprised: "So Steve is actually the expert you found?"
"right."
Lin Zhengran asked again: "What about the music studio called Xinxing?"
Jiang Jingshi laughed: "Brother Zhengran hasn't answered my question yet, but he asked me so many questions all at once."
Lin Zhengran explained: "I just want to sort out my thoughts, and then I will know what the situation is."
She thought for a moment and continued to help Lin Zhengran wipe the lipstick off his shoulder until it was completely wiped clean:
"I haven't heard of this studio either, but after some investigation I found out that it's a spontaneously organized music group from the public. They seem to be quite strong. What's wrong with this studio?"
Lin Zhengran stated his observations with certainty:
"Yes, that's the problem I'm talking about. Although this team is strong, it's far from being that strong. Among the fifty singers who advanced to the next round, fifteen are members of the New Star Music team. But in my opinion, only five of them are strong enough to advance. The others are just average, and many of them are not as good as singers from other studios."
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" She thought: "Although I am not that proficient in music, I did find that there is a gap between the last fifty singers."
Lin Zhengran said embarrassedly: "There is one more thing. I hope Sister Jiang won't be angry if I tell you this, but I am telling the truth."
"Just say it. I won't be angry no matter what you say." Jiang Jingshi said slowly.
"What I want to say is that although the team managed by my sister is strong enough, in my opinion, it is definitely not strong enough for all 20 contestants to enter the final list. Probably only 10 can enter. However, since Steve was invited by my sister, we privately said that Steve might give my sister some special privileges during the scoring process. This is normal."
Jiang Jingshi smiled and stared into Lin Zhengran's eyes:
"No wonder you said not to make me angry. That's just you saying it. If someone else told me, I might really be angry.
Because I have never let anyone take shortcuts for me, but I believe that Brother Zhengran can see his strength, and just like you said, sometimes people have friendships even if they don’t say it.”
She nodded: "It's possible that Steve would do that."
Lin Zhengran looked at the beef on the plate:
"So today's strangeness is actually not that big, because tomorrow's Little Rising Star ranking will be based on netizens' votes. Even if the judges use backdoors during the elimination round, it doesn't matter. It basically won't affect the final results.
But I suddenly had a guess on the way here, will this Xinxing Studio be merged into my sister's management in the end?"
Jiang Jingshi frowned slightly and laughed, "No, how could Brother Zhengran have such an idea? If we merge other studios, at least I, as the boss, will know about it. Although I am usually very busy and pay attention to many businesses, the music team is basically managed by Jiang Cheng when I am not around, but he will definitely tell me if there is such a thing."
Lin Zhengran suddenly asked a question that Jiang Jingshi had never thought about: "What would happen if Jiang Cheng betrayed us?"
Jiang Jingshi was stunned.
Lin Zhengran: "I'm just giving an example, because this competition has suddenly become so big, with celebrities invited and netizens voting, I think it's beyond Sister Jiang's expectations, right?
And if the New Star Studio is merged into Sister Jiang's team without anyone noticing, it may lead to a situation where 35 of the 50 finalists selected today are actually Sister Jiang's people, which means that none of your people will be eliminated."
Lin Zhengran continued, "But today, more than 30 studios came, but all the others who were somewhat capable were wiped out. If such a list and the videos of the past two days were posted online, it would feel fake at first glance."
Jiang Jingshi frowned slowly, realizing something, and thought:
"If that's the case, there's actually no need to merge. Almost all of the twenty-odd singers under my command are on the list. Once such a list is posted, it will definitely make many netizens suspicious. If fifteen more are added, what else can that be but a shady deal? And if we think about it in a worse way, if Jiang Cheng really betrayed me and gave money to Steve, netizens would ask how Steve would explain it? If Steve posts again saying that I bribed him to let my singer pass the test, and if he collaborates with Jiang Cheng, then my credibility will collapse. Moreover, this collapse will not only involve my music team, but will also directly involve quite a few other teams under me and the Jiang Group. There will be a steady stream of people questioning whether I am involved in shady dealings in other activities."
Lin Zhengran: "After all, Sister Jiang is backed by the Jiang Group. If someone really wants to cause trouble for you, even small things will be magnified and there will be a chain reaction."
Jiang Jingshi picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks and said, "I was thinking that something was a little strange today. It turns out that my group's pass rate was too high, so high that even I felt it was abnormal."
She fed the beef to Lin Zhengran's mouth and Lin Zhengran ate it.
Jiang Jingshi picked up another napkin and gently wiped the grease from the corners of Lin Zhengran's mouth.
Lin Zhengran asked with a smile: "Sister Jiang, you don't have to feed me so carefully, right?"
Jiang Jingshi was stunned for a moment before she realized that she had done this subconsciously. Her face was slightly red, but she still wiped his mouth: "Thank you for telling me this. Although what we just said was all our imagination, I have had a bad feeling today, as if these things are about to happen. And the most inexplicable thing about this is that no one except you can see such a plan, because no one will question the evaluation of the two celebrity judges. After all, no one thinks that their ability is stronger than that of these two judges. The singers will not speak out if they have doubts. Only after they are posted online will they ferment widely."
Lin Zhengran interrupted: "I don't think I'm that good."
This made Jiang Jingshi laugh, and her gentle smile was unusually beautiful: "Come on, brother Zhengran, don't be so modest. I can see that it's not a surprise that my sister hasn't beaten you, because you really know everything and are very proficient in it. With a master like you, I'm afraid the apprentice you taught won't be able to beat you and will lose to you."
At this point, Jiang Jingshi suddenly sighed, feeling exhausted by the intrigues between companies all day long: "Actually, although I have messed up a lot of projects over the years and seem to have made a lot of money, I have actually messed up a lot of things. I am not that great.
Especially since the Jiang family is only the second generation, there are only Qianqian and I, and my father is old, so the family arranged for her to manage the company when she grows up, and I will be responsible for company publicity to help the group expand its influence. "She explained: "Do you know why so many second-generation rich people do all kinds of messy things? It seems like a waste of resources, but in fact it is to promote their own group, because it is difficult to get fame, but once it spreads through various news, the company will make a lot of unexpected money. "
Jiang Jingshi stared at Lin Zhengran: "But it's tiring to do all this publicity. After all, my own abilities are limited. Unless there is an almighty person like Brother Zhengran by my side... Otherwise..." She raised her head and asked tentatively: "If Brother Zhengran is willing to follow me, you can name any price, as long as it is within my ability."
Lin Zhengran interrupted her and smiled: "Sorry, Sister Jiang, I don't want to lie to you, but I never planned to follow anyone."
Jiang Jingshi had guessed this answer a long time ago, and smiled: "That's right, I knew that with a personality like Brother Zhengran, it would be impossible for you to follow others, but to be honest, after getting to know Brother Zhengran, I suddenly had an idea these days. If I hadn't left the company..."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
She seemed very sincere in every word she said: "I really want to work with brother Zhengran and be your assistant. I have met so many people, but I have never been so optimistic about a person's future as I am this time. I dare say that you will definitely succeed in the future, and there is a great possibility that you will surpass me and the Jiang family."
The woman's red lips slowly uttered what she had been thinking:
"If that day really comes, I hope that I can be your partner instead of your enemy. At least I won't take the initiative to be your enemy. After all... after these few times of contact, I really like you and admire you."
"Thank you, Sister Jiang, for thinking so highly of me. I think with what Sister Jiang said, we will not become enemies."
"That would be great."
She used the same fork to pick up another piece of beef, but instead of putting it into Lin Zhengran's mouth, she ate it herself.
After chewing, I sighed that the beef was really good and tasted great.
At this moment, Lin Zhengran's cell phone suddenly rang. He picked up the phone and found that it was his mother calling.
Probably asking what time Lin Zhengran would be back.
Lin Zhengran simply answered and hung up, then glanced at the time again: "I'm a little sorry, I have to go. It's already past nine o'clock, and there's still a game tomorrow."
Jiang Jingshi was a little reluctant to leave, but still nodded in understanding: "Okay, sister will take you there."
Two people walked out from inside and came to the door.
The staff lady who had just arrived hurriedly bowed when she saw Lin Zhengran.
Because Jiang Jingshi never stayed alone with a man at night, she felt something was wrong from the beginning. Only now did she realize that this should be Sister Jiang's boyfriend.
When they walked outside, a Rolls-Royce was driven over by a driver. Jiang Jingshi said, "I'll have someone take you there."
Lin Zhengran thought it was unnecessary: "No need, Sister Jiang, this place is not far from my home, I can just take a taxi back."
"Okay." She knew that sometimes she had to go along with the boys, so she suggested:
"But we were just busy chatting during dinner tonight. We haven't even started eating yet. Let's make an appointment next time and have another meal alone. I'll remember what we talked about at the table and will try to resolve it in the next two days."
Lin Zhengran smiled, then took a taxi, said goodbye to Jiang Jingshi and went home.
Looking at the taxi disappearing on the road, Jiang Jingshi bit her red lips slowly with a gentle look in her eyes: "This is the first time I feel shy towards a boy."
Just as she finished speaking, another Rolls-Royce drove over from a distance. It was Jiang Qian's car.
