# Tingyu Rejects Collaboration with God of Songs! #

As the tribute program was about to air, a trending topic appeared before everyone's eyes.

This trending topic originated from God of Songs Zhu Haoxiong's Weibo.

"Some people really get carried away after becoming gods. With a little success, they become arrogant. Perhaps I'm not worthy of collaborating with him."

His words were subtle, but after analysis by those who paid attention, it was highly likely he was referring to Tingyu.

This was because while the other four Music Gods, including Mo Yan, had announced their collaborating singers, Tingyu had been conspicuously silent.

Logically, Zhu Haoxiong was qualified to participate in the tribute program. If the officials had assigned him to Tingyu, it would have been considered reasonable by everyone.

After all, such official programs were not open to just any singer; singers were officially designated. Assigning a Music God to Tingyu could be seen as a powerful collaboration.

Just like Li Yuliang's previous song "Chi Ling," which was a perfect live performance.

This was also why people looked forward to the tribute program. With the five Music Gods each paired with a collaborating singer, it was bound to be a feast for the ears.

However, from his words, everyone discovered that something unexpected had happened.

Tingyu rejected his collaboration?

Why?

"Heh, rejecting even God Zhu. He's really gotten carried away."

"I don't think God Zhu would post such a Weibo for no reason. Tingyu is only in his teens, a restless age. It's natural to get carried away with such achievements."

"God Zhu has collaborated with Teacher Mo Yan and even won the Golden Melody of the Year. For Tingyu to reject him, he's really acting like a big star."

"I think Tingyu is going to stumble. The tribute program is organized by the officials, and the singers are also assigned by them. Does he think he can just refuse as he pleases?"

The saying "popularity breeds controversy" was undeniably true.

Although Tingyu's reputation was good at the moment, it didn't mean no one would slander him, either out of jealousy or simply because they couldn't stand to see others succeed.

Before, when nothing had happened, people couldn't find any grounds to attack him. Now that they had finally found an opportunity, they naturally came out in full force to gain attention.

However, Tingyu now was not the same as before.

"I've collaborated with Tingyu before. Based on Tingyu's personality, there are only two reasons for him to reject Zhu Haoxiong: first, Zhu Haoxiong was unsuitable, or second, Zhu Haoxiong put on airs in front of him."

This Weibo post was from Li Yuliang, who sang "Chi Ling."

After his collaboration with Tingyu, he had also joined the ranks of Tingyu's fans.

In fact, he didn't interact much with Tingyu, only through a brief conversation during that program. However, he could tell from Tingyu's words that this kid's mindset was simpler than most people in the industry.

This was why he asked Qian Hongliang to find Tingyu to commission a song. He knew that if there was a suitable song for Qian Hongliang, Tingyu would likely give it to him.

Tingyu only chose the right person for his songs.

This was his evaluation of Tingyu.

In this materialistic society, such simple people were rare. Li Yuliang felt that such a good kid deserved praise, and praising him to the heavens was not too much.

Therefore, after this incident occurred, he was the first to step forward.

With his lead,

A large number of Tingyu's fans also joined in.

"God Zhu's singing skills are excellent, and they should be suitable for most songs. So it must be the second reason: he relied on his status as a God of Songs and put on airs in front of Tingyu."

"If that's the case, Zhu Haoxiong is truly despicable, accusing the victim first."

"It's quite normal. Whenever Tingyu is involved in a controversy, it's always the accuser first. We fans have become zen about it and are too lazy to argue. After all, Tingyu will always prove them wrong in the end."

"Haha, indeed zen. Now, when I see those who criticize Tingyu, I feel like I'm watching clowns. I even bet with my friends on how long it will take for Tingyu to prove them wrong."

"The tribute program starts tomorrow. I bet three packs of spicy strips that it will be proven wrong tonight."

"I bet ten packs, and it will be proven wrong during the program tomorrow!"

The fans didn't argue with the trolls; instead, they played their own games.

This made the trolls feel like they were hitting cotton with a punch, making them so angry they were about to vomit blood.

They had waited for so long to get such a good opportunity.

But no matter how much they cursed or mocked, Tingyu's fans ignored them.

Even when they said Tingyu didn't understand songwriting,

These fans even helped.

"I think you're right, Tingyu doesn't understand."

"@Tingyu, did you hear that? Someone is saying you don't understand again. It's time for you to release ten more songs to dominate the charts. It's overdue."

"@Liu Qiliang, come and take the lead. All of us fans thank you."

"Haha, this meme is never going away, is it?"

That's right, everyone seemed to have returned to the city competition, back to Liu Qiliang's statement, "No one understands square dancing better than I do."

At that time, he was acting all cocky and angered Tingyu, who then released ten divine square dance songs overnight. That night was a night of celebration for the fans.

#King of Knowledge Liu Qiliang, please lead the way!#

When netizens played this meme and sent this trending topic into the top ten,

Liu Qiliang, who was still having tea with the members of Shen Yin Zhe at a club, almost choked on his tea.

"Cough, cough... This is actually related to me?"

"No one understands square dancing better than I do" had always been Liu Qiliang's catchphrase, but after being thoroughly defeated by Tingyu that time, he had never said that sentence again.

He had forcefully quit his catchphrase.

However, netizens would still bring it up from time to time, and they even bestowed upon him the title of "King of Knowledge."

"Haha, Old Liu, you're trending again."

"Envious..."

"Heh heh heh, Old Liu is trending again..."

"By the way, why don't we contact Tingyu and ask what's going on?"

Qian Qinghua, as the group leader of Shen Yin Zhe, had recently come clean with Su Yu.

"Amazing, guys!"

When Su Yu learned that Shen Yin Zhe was them, their shocked expressions made them shout with delight. After all, it was rare to see Su Yu surprised, and making him shocked was quite difficult.

After a brief conversation, both sides established a preliminary cooperation model. During major controversies, they would help Su Yu prove them wrong, and Su Yu just needed to acknowledge them as a legitimate force.

Su Yu was naturally willing to this. He didn't expect his opponents from the city competition to be so bored, but this feeling of being supported by his opponents was still quite satisfying.

Moreover, he needed an organization to speak for him. Shen Yin Zhe had already established its reputation, and it could be used directly.

Don't underestimate Shen Yin Zhe, this temporarily formed organization. They now had the ability to guide public opinion. Besides helping Tingyu prove them wrong, they were also responsible for collecting other trending events, essentially becoming the righteous avengers of the entertainment industry.

Whenever there was a hot topic, they would step forward and speak with the most direct evidence.

As more and more people joined, this temporarily assembled small organization had gained strong credibility in the entertainment industry.

With continued effort, their scale would undoubtedly grow.

Su Yu and them had no prior enmity, only a competitive relationship. They were all straightforward people. Losing was indeed due to inferior skill compared to Su Yu, so there was no room for resentment. Shen Yin Zhe had also risen with Su Yu's help, so they proactively approached Su Yu and asked him to absorb Shen Yin Zhe.

In other words, unbeknownst to netizens, Shen Yin Zhe had become Su Yu's official spokesperson.
