Seeing the artist's dejected appearance, Fan Shanshan raised an eyebrow and asked impatiently.
She then noticed the laptop screen on the table, which displayed music charts.
Ren Yiwen uploaded her new song "Graduation Battle" after the competition, which she had high hopes for, and it is currently ranked in the thirties.
It didn't even make it into the top 20 of the new song chart.
Let alone defeating Lone Warrior.
It couldn't even compare to the song "You Are Young" that Wang Yueheng sang on stage just the day before yesterday.
In the past, Ren Yiwen's new songs could almost easily reach the top ten of the music charts.
"Sister Fan... why do you think that is...?"
"Didn't they say I'd win the championship...? Why didn't they stop him and let him advance..."
"I refuse to accept this..."
Ren Yiwen mumbled in her sleep on the sofa.
"Who can you blame for your own lack of ability? I always told you to practice singing more, but you didn't listen. What's the use of regretting it now?"
Fan Shanshan couldn't help but sigh and scolded him angrily for his lack of ambition.
Seeing Ren Yiwen's self-destructive state...
She also completely lost faith in the idol artist in front of her.
"Alright, you can stay home and sleep all you want."
After leaving those words, Fan Shanshan took out her phone and walked towards the door.
"Gao Jie, please inform the shopping mall that Ren Yiwen's performance has been canceled and will be replaced by another singer from the company."
"All of Ren Yiwen's appearances are suspended. I will notify you when they will resume."
"There's no reason why!"
"Peng—"
After saying that, Fan Shanshan, her face full of anger, turned around abruptly and slammed the door shut.
Upon hearing Fan Shanshan's departing voice, Ren Yiwen, who had been lying on the sofa, suddenly sat up.
"Wang Yueheng, Wang Yueheng, it's that damn Wang Yueheng again..."
Staring at the song that topped the charts on the computer screen, Ren Yiwen's eyes were bloodshot and her fists were clenched.
The setbacks in his career were all related to this singer who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Unless he is brought down, I will forever live in his shadow.
Then, as if remembering something, Ren Yiwen reached for her phone on the sofa.
After hesitating for a moment, he made a phone call.
“Anilhasayyu, Yiwen, it’s been a long time since we last contacted each other.”
Soon, a voice in Korean greeted them from the other end of the phone.
"Senior Brother Wu Chi, there's something I'd like to ask you for help with."
Ren Yiwen said through gritted teeth.
The person who answered the phone was named Wu Chi, a currently popular singer of Chinese and Korean descent.
He was Ren Yiwen's senior when she was a trainee at MS Entertainment in South Korea.
After the two-year trainee period ended.
Ren Yiwen chose to return directly to China to develop her career.
His senior chose to debut in South Korea and achieved considerable success with his rap style.
Until last year, when Wu Chi's idol group AOE disbanded.
As the captain of the AOE team, he chose to return to China to develop his career.
And with a rap song whose lyrics are entirely in English, he won the Chinese Golden Melody Award that year.
It was this award.
This led to the South Korean national Wu Chi.
He earned the title of "Prince of Rap" in the Chinese entertainment industry.
With tens of millions of followers on Weibo, he can be considered a top-tier idol.
Furthermore, relying on his handsome appearance, he frequently had romantic relationships with top actresses in China.
Ren Yiwen was filled with anger at this moment.
She could only pour out all her grievances to this top-tier rapper.
"Ugh~"
"I'm not trying to be mean, but you're really doing terribly."
"A mere newcomer has managed to demoralize someone like you, a veteran of MS, to this extent?"
After listening to Ren Yiwen's almost tearful complaints, Wu Chi on the other end of the phone looked disdainful.
"So I hope you can help me, Senior Brother Wu Chi. Now, almost no one can stop this kid."
"Otherwise, he will eventually steal your popularity, causing your development in China to fail."
"Besides, he's currently very popular. If you can take this opportunity to teach him a lesson, it will greatly increase your own popularity!"
Ren Yiwen tried everything she could to persuade the other party to make a move.
"Calm down, Yiwen. It's just teaching a newbie a lesson. It's too easy."
"It just requires a little maneuvering so that I have a reason to make a move."
Hearing that he could ride on Wang Yueheng's popularity, Wu Chi, a popular idol himself, was also tempted.
He had heard this name recently; apparently, many of his new songs had made it onto the charts.
Because she's been filming an idol drama recently, Wu Chi hasn't been paying much attention to the music scene.
However, in his view...
There isn't a single singer or artist from the Dragon Kingdom who can compete.
The fact that I was able to win a Golden Melody Award in China with an English song is the best proof of that.
"Here's what we'll do. Do as I say, and I'll make him disappear from the stage on his own within a week."
On the other end of the phone, Wu Chi remained silent for a moment before speaking.
