When Qin Xiaorou and Gu Qianqian left.
Shen Qingfeng, who was nearby, spotted Su Yu and was immediately surprised. "Master! What are you doing here??"
He rushed forward, his handsome face beaming with a smile.
Thanks to Su Yu's guidance and style suggestions for him and his sister, they were gradually forging their own paths.
With their down-to-earth style, different from other trainees, they had become the most popular group.
All of this was thanks to Su Yu.
The Shen Qingfeng siblings had always been very grateful and respectful towards him.
Before Su Yu could speak.
The young girl beside him walked over again.
"You must be Tingyu, right? My name is Qin Xiaoyuan, and I'm your fan. I know all your songs."
She was an actress and rarely listened to music. She had heard of Tingyu, who was very popular in the Chinese music scene, but hadn't delved into it. From the time she voted for Shen Qingfeng for the theme song of "Chinese Youth," she accidentally heard "Youth Chinese Talk" and was completely captivated, listening to all of Tingyu's songs.
In the end, she became his most loyal fan and had sent many gifts to Su Yu's songs on music platforms.
And she had completely put the phrase "only cheating once" behind her.
"What happened just now?" Su Yu tugged at the corner of his mouth.
It turned out this girl was Qin Xiaorou's sister.
But they didn't look much alike?
Of course, he wasn't curious enough to ask.
It was other people's family matters; if you could stay out of it, you should.
However, if Qin Xiaorou was suitable for the audition, she would be the female lead in his TV series. He couldn't let these things affect her, otherwise, it would be difficult to find such a suitable actress for Zhao Ling'er.
"It's nothing major. Xiaorou, she's good at everything, just a bit stubborn," Qin Xiaoyuan said sheepishly.
Shen Qingfeng added, "She was cyberbullied online for recommending your songs. We saw it and were worried she might be upset, so we came over. We just wanted to persuade her to post a Weibo apology to netizens, but the more we persuaded her, the more she reacted..."
After speaking, Shen Qingfeng sighed helplessly.
"Recommending my songs for me?"
Su Yu finally understood the reason.
So that was what it was, and it was even related to him...
However, Qin Xiaoyuan's expression clearly showed worry, not an act.
The relationship between the two sisters shouldn't be too bad.
"It's getting late, and I have to leave soon. Since she was cyberbullied for recommending my songs, I'll help her."
Su Yu glanced at the time; he still had to rush back to Shuangqing City.
Moreover, in a few days, it would be the next city competition. The song "Exaggeration" was very difficult. Although Zhang Wei's singing skills were excellent and his experience was suitable, there were some details he needed to look into. After all, if Zhang Wei performed well in this song, he might directly become a legendary singer and be nominated for Singer of the Year.
If that happened, he could also achieve the accomplishment of nurturing a Singer of the Year.
As for Qin Xiaorou's matter, he would video call her on the way back to counsel her, and then post a Weibo to help her. Cyberbullying could be a big or small issue. Although Qin Xiaorou appeared normal today and was a very lively and cheerful girl, if not handled properly, seeing any stimulating comments online could lead to depression.
Thinking of depression, Su Yu recalled the feeling of dead silence when he had an episode, and he couldn't help but shiver.
"Are you leaving so soon?" Shen Qingfeng looked reluctant.
Suddenly, he thought of something and whispered into Su Yu's ear, "Master, I have some insider information about the city competition for you."
"What?" Su Yu was startled.
"After this regional competition, it will be the official competition. In the first episode of the official competition, our trainee program will cooperate with the city competition." Shen Qingfeng chuckled.
"You mean, the singers for the first episode of the official competition will be chosen from your trainees?" Su Yu asked in surprise.
It seemed the trainee program team was truly wealthy.
With the current traffic of the city competition, having their idol trainees perform would cost a fortune.
Now, directly participating in the competition and becoming the singers of the producers would cost a lot of money.
"That's right. A total of ten people from our group came, my sister and I are a group. The first episode of the official competition will select keywords and singers," Shen Qingfeng said, rubbing his hands sheepishly.
"You want me to choose you?" Su Yu asked with a half-smile.
"Ahem... can I?" Shen Qingfeng looked expectant.
"Of course," Su Yu patted his shoulder. "You've called me Master for so long, if I don't choose you, who else would I choose? But you're quite well-informed."
"Heh heh, thank you, Master!" Shen Qingfeng was overjoyed, then scratched his head and smiled sheepishly at Su Yu. "You probably knew my identity long ago..."
Su Yu smiled and said, "Of course, the young master of Yihai Entertainment."
He had known this at his father-in-law's birthday banquet. Yihai Entertainment was one of the four major entertainment companies in China, specializing in variety shows. Currently, several popular variety shows were planned by Yihai Entertainment.
"Heh heh, my dad and Lin Chaoyang are close friends. You're his son-in-law, so even without a master-disciple relationship, we're family," Shen Qingfeng nudged Su Yu with his shoulder.
Su Yu gave him a helpless look, then took a deep breath. "Alright, I'll definitely choose you then."
The Shen Qingfeng siblings' style had been honed, and it was time to write songs for them.
After a few more casual chats.
Su Yu prepared to leave.
Qin Xiaoyuan finally got a chance to ask for Su Yu's autograph and was beaming.
However, she glanced at Shen Qingfeng beside her and remembered secretly voting for Su Yu before, and that sense of guilt resurfaced...
...
On the way home.
Su Yu learned about Qin Xiaorou's situation online.
It turned out that Qin Xiaorou had spoken a few good words for the male lead while recommending the song "Old Boy" for him.
And she was attacked by her female fans.
After learning the details, Su Yu found it somewhat absurd.
The thought process of these netizens was too bizarre...
However, Qin Xiaorou was indeed caught up in this incident because she supported him.
Su Yu also sent her a video call.
Qin Xiaorou still had to answer Su Yu's video call.
At this time, Qin Xiaorou was already in the dormitory, with Gu Qianqian, Su Yu's cousin, beside her.
Qin Xiaorou's eyes were red, as if she had been crying.
Su Yu initially thought she was crying because of the cyberbullying.
After chatting for a while.
She told Su Yu that she wasn't crying because of cyberbullying, but because she had seen her sister, Qin Xiaoyuan.
After chatting for a while, Su Yu finally understood the situation between the sisters.
Qin Xiaorou was not the biological daughter of her current father; she was adopted from an orphanage.
She was only five years old at the time.
Finally having parents, she was naturally very happy.
However, although her father tried his best to be fair, there were inevitably oversights, and sometimes favoring his biological daughter was subconscious.
As these things accumulated, Qin Xiaorou gradually grew up and became sensible. She also understood her parents.
She was grateful for everything her parents had given her, and also grateful for her sister's constant care.
The turning point came with Shen Qingfeng's appearance.
Both sisters liked this type of "creamy young man."
However, in the end, it was her sister Qin Xiaoyuan who was engaged through a business marriage.
Qin Xiaorou knew she was not her parents' biological daughter and was not qualified for the marriage, and she also knew that Shen Qingfeng liked her sister.
But she couldn't get over that hurdle.
Therefore, when she saw her sister Qin Xiaoyuan and heard her concern, her emotions became so agitated.
After understanding the situation, Su Yu was dumbfounded.
How could this be resolved?
She didn't take the cyberbullying seriously at all; it was due to personal emotional issues.
Su Yu comforted her a few more times, then promised her the role of Zhao Ling'er as long as she passed the audition.
Qin Xiaorou then felt a little better.
Then, Su Yu hung up the video call.
"Qingfeng, your romantic troubles, I, as your master, am powerless to help..."
These were all caused by Shen Qingfeng, and it shouldn't be the master's job to clean up the mess.
After sending a message to Gu Qianqian, asking her to comfort Qin Xiaorou well.
Su Yu reclined the backrest of the passenger seat.
Looking at the rapidly passing street scenes outside the window, his mood suddenly became inexplicably low.
His sealed memories had been dormant for a long time. Recently, he had been on stage frequently, but he didn't feel that spark.
It was probably due to insufficient stimulation. He heard that the final stage would be held in Kyoto's largest venue.
If he were to sing on stage then, it might have an effect.
"Xiao Gong, I'm going to sleep for a bit."
After saying that, he closed his eyes.
"Alright!"
Gong Juren responded.
Then, he turned down the car's stereo to a very low volume.
This was the music volume that Xiao Gong had tested to provide the best sleep quality for Yu Ge when he slept in his car.
Then, he turned on the car's internal circulation and adjusted the air conditioning temperature to 24.6 degrees Celsius.
Because this was the temperature that provided the best sleep quality for Yu Ge.
...
ps: Please don't criticize. This is not filler. This plot not only sets up the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" TV series but also foreshadows more than one song. It's not that I'm unwilling to write about competitions all the time; songs need plot support, otherwise, I guarantee you'll get bored after a few competitions...
