Chapter 38 The Champion

"This guy is so narrow-minded, still targeting Wang Shu like this!"

"I think he's just worried that if Wang Shu becomes famous later, he's trying to suppress him now."

"It's speechless, does he think suppressing one Wang Shu will keep him on top? The way he sings now, I can't even watch!"

The audience was also quite displeased with Hua Cheng Yu's behavior.

Even though Wang Shu hadn't finished his song, the sheer talent displayed in his original lyrics and composition already crushed many other contestants.

Yet, Hua Cheng Yu criticized it as worthless. They even wanted to ask Hua Cheng Yu what gave him the confidence to say such things.

"I don't agree with Teacher Hua's evaluation. I think this song is very good, but it's also a shame it's an incomplete work. I'm really looking forward to hearing the full version!"

Qin Feng also found Hua Cheng Yu's behavior intolerable. In terms of seniority, both he and He Yue could be considered predecessors to this young man, Hua Cheng Yu.

But this brat showed no respect, not only treating them with disrespect but also acting as if he had great status and completely ignored them.

"I also agree with Teacher Qin's view. I'll say it bluntly, if Wang Shu hadn't gotten sick, the championship would 100% be his!"

He Yue also picked up the microphone to express her stance. As the only judge who had been with "Weekly Good Voice" from the preliminary rounds to the finals, she was well aware of the abilities of all the contestants.

Only Wang Shu's talent was something she couldn't fully gauge, because Wang Shu was simply too strong, both in songwriting and composition, his skills were top-notch.

If she hadn't been born a few decades earlier and debuted more than ten years prior, Wang Shu today would probably have achieved even more than she had.

That's why she could confidently say this.

"I beg to differ with what the two teachers said. I don't understand why you would think someone with empty lyrics and composition and pretentious singing could win the championship? Has the music industry's standards for a champion dropped so low now?"

Hua Cheng Yu was very uncomfortable with the high-quality evaluations from Qin Feng and He Yue, so he directly picked up the microphone and questioned them.

"If Teacher Hua believes the lyrics and composition are empty, then perhaps my understanding of music is not profound enough."

Qin Feng was once again enraged by this arrogant youngster, Hua Cheng Yu. He, a musician with over twenty years of experience, was being told he didn't understand music by a youngster who had only been in the industry for less than two years.

"I'm just expressing my personal opinion. Please don't attack me if you don't like it!"

He Yue then adopted an indifferent expression, holding the microphone and looking at Hua Cheng Yu.

She increasingly looked down on this second-generation rich kid. When he first debuted, she thought he had some talent.

But she never expected him to go so far off track, spending his days researching how to do things instead of singing.

Even though singing and dancing were originally used for witchcraft rituals, this was a civilized society, and she truly couldn't understand Master Hua's thinking.

"The two seniors are speechless. Young Master Hua is indeed powerful!"

"Are you a little hater? Provoke my Young Master Hua and be careful he cuts your tongue off!"

"The top idol of the Chinese music scene, Crown Prince Hua! Amazing!"

When the audience saw the tense atmosphere between the three judges, they also gave praise to Hua Cheng Yu's tactless behavior.

They had never seen an artist so tactless, even brainless.

Hua Cheng Yu's arrogant behavior had undoubtedly evoked the disgust of many viewers. In their opinion, Hua Cheng Yu's behavior was utterly disrespectful.

"Alright, after a busy tally, the final results of the competition are out. Congratulations to Li Cheng Xun for winning third place in this episode of Good Voice! Congratulations to Bai Shu for winning second place in this episode of Good Voice!"

As Han Ge announced, the audience's emotions became increasingly tense, as they eagerly awaited the announcement of the champion.

"The champion of this episode is! If your kidneys are exhausted, use Huiyuan Kidney Tonic! Thirty-six kinds of..."

"How much did Huiyuan pay? I'll give double from Jiuzhi Tang, hurry up and stop the advertisement!"

"This is so sudden, I'm speechless. Han Ge, can you hurry up?"

"Who can handle this? Why weren't there such commercial interruptions before?"

The audience was completely overwhelmed by this sudden advertisement. Their hearts were racing, and then the program produced such a clever move, wasting their long anticipation.

Finally, after a round of advertising slogans, Han Ge cleared his throat and then said in a suspenseful tone:

"The winner of this episode's 'Weekly Good Voice' is: Wang... Shu! Let's congratulate him!"

As Han Ge uttered Wang Shu's name, the entire venue erupted in cheers. All the fans high-fived each other in celebration.

Perhaps at this moment, Wang Shu winning the championship was even more worth celebrating than winning it themselves.

"This show is utter trash. I regret coming here to be a judge!"

Hua Cheng Yu's face was extremely unpleasant. He threw down the microphone and stood up to leave the venue again.

However, unlike last time, no one went to chase after him.

"Hmph, with a temper like that, I'd like to see how long he can last in the music industry!"

Watching Hua Cheng Yu storm off from the surveillance footage, Zhou Tao shook his head helplessly.

He had originally invited Hua Cheng Yu to be a judge, only considering his connections and resources. But if he had another chance, he would never have invited this guy again.

After the show, He Yue and Qin Feng also went to the hospital to check on Wang Shu's condition.

When they arrived at the hospital again, Wang Shu was still unconscious.

To avoid delaying future work, He Yue and Qin Feng had to leave first. They told Xu Yun Shang to notify them when Wang Shu woke up.

"Wang Shu, you absolutely cannot just leave like this. I have good news for you, you won the championship, and you still have a million yuan in prize money!"

In the hospital room, Xu Yun Shang held Wang Shu's hand and said.

Although the doctor had examined him earlier, he hadn't told her the specific situation. She only saw the doctor frown, shake his head, and then leave.

In the evening, Wang Shu slowly opened his dazed eyes again.

Seeing that it was already dark outside the window, his mind became much clearer.

"What time is it?"

Wang Shu asked, opening his mouth.

Xu Yun Shang, who was wiping Wang Shu's hands with warm water, looked at him excitedly when she heard his voice.

"I almost thought you wouldn't wake up!"

Xu Yun Shang said with teary eyes, looking at Wang Shu. She had been very worried in the afternoon that Wang Shu might not wake up.
