Li Li had just finished putting on her makeup and was about to leave when she suddenly received an urgent notice from the staff. Four of the five judges had urgent matters to attend to and could not make time for the next recording. The recording would be suspended for one day today and resume tomorrow.
Tong Shuyue, who hadn't slept the whole night before and was already in a bad mood today, became panicked when she heard the news.
I really didn't expect that Professor Gong would be so ruthless. Those four are seniors in the music industry. Professor Gong terminated the contract without any mercy.
The four judges have already left. Will it be her turn next?
As soon as this idea popped up in her mind, she rejected it harshly, "No, Professor Gong said last night that he would let bygones be bygones..."
Xia Xingchen was also surprised to hear the news, but she was not shocked. She just raised her lips meaningfully.
For Tong Shuyue, this was like drawing water from fifteen buckets, with all sorts of ups and downs. But for the other contestants, it was great news. They had not slept or eaten well for several days since the day of the audition, and their brains had been in a tense state. Today, they could finally have a good rest.
When I get home, I won’t do anything else but take a nap!
Li Li didn't even take off her makeup. She hurried to the dressing room to change into her own clothes before skipping over to Xia Xingchen. She naturally took Xia Xingchen's arm and said, "Xingchen, come on, I'll take you to have breakfast."
Having said that, without giving Xia Xingchen a chance to refute, he dragged her away.
Xia Xingchen really wanted to say that she had already eaten, but seeing Li Li’s enthusiasm, she followed Li Li.
The other four boys looked at each other, then followed out. Peng Zhuo muttered, "Can I not go? I want to go home and sleep."
Xiao hugged his neck and said, "What the hell are you doing sleeping? It's a waste not to eat the free meal."
Xia Xingchen followed Li Li to the studio door and stopped. Li Li turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
She put her hands in her pockets and glanced back. Li Li then realized what was going on. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Sorry, I forgot about your brothers."
Ji Zhong was the first to catch up. When he reached Xia Xingchen, he said, "Wait a moment, I'll go drive first." Then he hurried towards the parking lot.
Not long after, Yikai, Xiao and Pengzhuo came out.
As Yoshihide drove the car over, the other contestants walked out of the studio one after another.
The reason why there are so many contestants this year is that there are many more students from Xinghai. After the auditions and the first two rounds of preliminary competitions, most of the students from Xinghai have been eliminated. Except for Xia Xingchen, Li Li, Xia Xingkong and Tong Shuyue, there are only a few left.
Five minutes later, Ji Zhong drove over. When Li Li saw the majestic white commercial vehicle, her eyes widened. She stammered, "Xingchen, is this... car... yours?"
Although Li Li was not born into a wealthy family, she knew that this car was not cheap, and the starting price was at least five million.
Xia Xingchen shook his head and corrected: "It's not mine, it's ours."
Li Li frowned, not understanding what Xia Xingchen meant. Xiao smiled and explained, "This car was given to us by our fan dad. How is it? Pretty cool, isn't it?"
Li Li opened her mouth in disbelief and said happily, "Really? That's great! Your fans are really awesome! This way you don't have to squeeze on the bus when you go to Xinghai."
Xia Xingchen said calmly: "It's just a means of transportation, it doesn't matter how you go."
As she said that, she and Li Li got into the car together.
Before getting on the car, Xinghai's classmates came out and one of them asked in surprise, "Was that Xia Xingchen who just got on the car? How can she afford a luxury car worth tens of millions?"
The other man's eyes widened in horror. "What did you say? That car was worth tens of millions? Did you see it right?"
"My driver drives this kind of car to take my dad to negotiate contracts every day. How could I be wrong?" The man was very confident at the beginning.
At this moment, the man who had been terrified later began to mutter, "But... I can't! Wasn't Xia Xingchen kicked out by the Li family? She's so poor she can only take the bus and live in a small apartment... How could she afford a luxury car?"
"Even the Li family might not be able to afford it, right?"
It’s worth tens of millions!
For the rich, this is just a drizzle, but... for the poor, this... is a sky-high price! ?
The conversation between the two people was overheard by Xia Xingkong who was following quietly from behind. He wondered who bought her this top-of-the-line luxury car and who was willing to spend so much money on her?
At this moment, she suddenly thought of Gong Bingyu's attempt to gain control of Linhui Entertainment in order to get Xia Xingchen. Could it be that... this top-of-the-line luxury car was a gift from Gong Bingyu?!
No wonder he hasn't shown up since the recording of [First Sound], it turns out he was holding back!
It seems that the young master of the Gong family is quite generous! ?

After having breakfast with Li Li, Ji Zhong first sent Li Li home, and then sent Xia Xingchen back to the apartment. After sending both girls home, Ji Zhong drove back to the apartment they rented.
Xia Xingchen also felt exhausted over the past two days, so she simply took a hot shower, changed into fluffy white pajamas, and lay down on the bed to sleep without even looking at the quilt.
When she closed her eyes, it seemed as if the whole world had quieted down. Her fair face was peaceful and serene, like a still painting, showing a kind of transcendent coolness.
She was sleeping soundly when she was woken up by a rapid ringing of the phone. She opened her eyes with difficulty, glanced at the incoming call, and pressed the answer button.
It was a call from Yi Ke.
Yi Ke's voice was very serious: "President Xia, this is bad. People from Organization Y are investigating Sogou, but for some reason, they stopped investigating halfway!"
Yike intuitively felt that this matter was not that simple!
"Y Organization?" Xia Xingchen didn't expect that the Y Organization would investigate her again. It seemed that the superficial information given to them last time was not enough to fool them. But when she heard that the people from the Y Organization withdrew halfway through the investigation, she fell into deep thought again.
The last time Organization Y investigated her, Gong Bingye left for Xinghai shortly after. And this time, she secretly moved against Gong Xia, and Organization Y started investigating Sogou again. Could it be that... the Gong family is connected to Organization Y?!
"Until now, there has been no movement from the Y organization. I wonder if they have found out anything?" Yi Ke was a little worried. There were many talented people in the Y organization. Even in Li, no one dared to touch Sogou, but the people in the Y organization might not be so sure.
They never play by the rules!
"Don't worry about it. If they really wanted to do something to Sogou, they wouldn't have waited until now." Compared to Yi Ke, Xia Xingchen remained calm. "If Organization Y makes any moves later, call me immediately."
