Godfather of the Queens' Scandals

Chapter 11 Let's start tearing each other apart, King of Singers!

"It's a pity Sister Zhu married a stupid nightclub jerk. I really hope she gets a divorce soon!" Harley Quinn shook her head violently, her twin ponytails flying up.

Little did they know that the added appeal of being a married woman would catch the eye of some people.

The pure and innocent-looking girl smiled sweetly: "There's a chance. I heard they've been separated for quite a while, and the man has been staying on the peninsula all year and hasn't come over."

Oh, right, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Yin Zhen'er, and I'm a local.

This is Choi Hyo-eun, a person from the peninsula.

Could you sell us this autographed diamond plush toy? We're die-hard fans of Sister Zhu.

Xu Yuan shook his head: "My name is Xu Yuan. This was a gift from a friend, so it's not easy to resell."

Yoon Jin-ah was quite disappointed, saying that it would be a waste for such autographed copies to be left in the hands of passersby; they could only realize their greatest value when they were in the hands of fans.

Cui Xiaoen kept looking up at Xu Yuan, her eyes darting around, before finally finding an opportunity to say, "How about we exchange contact information? If you want to sell later, we can offer a high price."

Several people around looked over.

Sell?

High price?

When everyone saw Xu Yuan's appearance again, they showed expressions of relief.

Such a handsome duck, no wonder you have to make a reservation in advance.

Xu Yuan then showed the QR code.

……

In the second episode, Yu Qingwan failed to continue her amazing performance.

Her rendition of the song "Flying" was of very average quality. Not only was it unpleasant to listen to, it also limited her vocal range and ultimately backfired, resulting in her ranking second to last in this episode.

Zhao Zhigao, who came in second last time, is a strong and consistent performer, and he won the championship this time.

Boy band singer Han Junhao made another mistake, but rather than a mistake, it was more a lack of solid basic skills, and he undeniably took last place.

When challenger Zhu Jialin took the stage, her rendition of "Lips," one of the top five songs by JEWELRY, sparked a massive sing-along from the entire audience.

In terms of fame, ability, sentiment, and stage presence, Zhu Jialin completely outperformed Han Junhao, ultimately ranking third in this episode.

The latter became the second disappointed person to leave the show.

The comments section was naturally flooded with a chaotic flurry of activity.

Korean boy bands are terrible at their craft; domestic boy bands are all awful.

There's a reason why this socialite was so popular across Asia back then; she's truly remarkable.

[My brother is so wronged! How can he fight against such a senior figure?]

[Pah! It's just a trashy show. My brother is the best. I'm not watching this garbage program anymore.]

It has to be said, when it comes to the idol industry, Peninsula is the place to be.

[Upstairs, times have changed. Top trainees from Asia are now all heading to mainland China.]

[Rumor has it that several major players in the Chinese entertainment industry are joining forces to launch a debut program and create the strongest girl group.]

Yes, everyone is making preparations, and there will be more than a dozen top trainees by then.

In the past two years, the concept of the idol industry has gained attention in the Chinese entertainment industry.

What's the difference between idols and traditional entertainment stars?

When you focus on the differences, you've already fallen into a trap.

The idol industry is essentially the extreme exploitation of individual celebrities by companies, a further enslavement of laborers by capital, and the ultimate harvesting of fans.

The proliferation of factions in the Chinese entertainment industry, leaving ordinary people with no chance to rise to prominence, represents the industry's first "progress."

The attempts by the Chinese entertainment industry to develop the idol industry have left even the most established stars with no chance of success, marking the industry's second "progress."

Although the main topic of this episode was boy groups and girl groups, people quickly steered the conversation toward Yu Qingwan.

[Second to last, hasn't Yu Tianhou finally shown her true colors this time?]

[This is really awful. If it weren't for her immunity from punishment, Yu Qingwan would be the one who should have left.]

[Yu Qingwan, you shameless woman, you've ruined your brother's life!]

[I'm not targeting Yu Qingwan specifically, but the main problem is she has no songs to sing, so what's the point of her staying on the show?]

[Everyone who needed to be cleared up has been cleared up. Let's get rid of Yu Qingwan in the next episode already, so as not to lower the quality of the show.]

[Anyone praising Yuan Xu? I told you he's just lucky. Anyone with real talent would be in the association first.]

Related topics also appeared on the trending searches.

This created the impression among the public that "Yu Qingwan should have left after the third term".

Diyu is taking action.

……

"Hyo-eun, why did you suggest exchanging contact information? Don't tell me it's to buy a doll."

"Haha, of course it's because he's handsome! Don't you think so?"

"Indeed, he has a special quality that the male trainees in the company don't have."

"Yes. And his eyes, they tell so many stories, just like your smile, they're the kind of things you can't resist."

Just as Yoon Jin-ah and Choi Hyo-eun were about to push open the dormitory door, they heard a noisy commotion coming from inside.

The two men immediately turned pale.

Cui Xiaoen shoved the door open with a slap: "Are you bullying An Xue again? Looking for trouble? Believe me or not, I'll go find the team leader!"

Yoon Jin-ah quickly went over and shielded a crying girl.

Several girls nearby glared at them fiercely, but ultimately said nothing, and then went out to visit other dorm rooms.

Clearly, Harley Quinn is not someone to be trifled with.

"Are you alright?" Yin Zhen'er handed the other person a few pieces of paper.

"It's alright. Thank you, thank you all."

"Hey, don't thank me! We're the Bala Entertainment Trio, debuting together!"

"That's right. After we debut, no one will bully us anymore!"

……

At the same time, in a hot pot restaurant, the guests of "I Am a Singer" were raising their glasses in celebration.

Xu Yuan and his entourage sat at another table.

Today's main purpose is to welcome Zhu Jialin.

Although she has changed from stage costumes to casual clothes, Zhu Jialin is still very eye-catching.

She has a hot and voluptuous figure, and her headlights are particularly eye-catching; every move she makes has a ripple effect.

But at this moment, Zhu Jialin kept glancing towards Xu Yuan.

She never expected to run into that handsome guy in the underground parking garage of Triumph City, so the person who looked a lot like Yu Qingwan that night was Yu Qingwan herself.

She learned from other people that the handsome man was Yu Qingwan's staff member.

It seems she's responsible not only for work but also for life.

It's surprising that Yu Tianhou also secretly takes care of younger men.

Just as Zhu Jialin was "characterizing" Xu Yuan, Jiang Youwei went to find Xu Yuan with a wine glass in hand: "Senior, come, let me toast you. Our episode's online popularity and viewership ratings are number one again in its time slot."

I'm afraid I really am going to become the top female singer in music variety shows, just like you said.

When will your most beloved female idol...?

The voices grew softer and softer, and the people drew closer and closer.

Of course, since everyone had a few drinks, it was normal to talk closer to each other.

But the next moment, Yu Qingwan also walked over: "He can't drink."

???

Everyone looked over.

Zhu Jialin, looking on with amusement, asked, "What's going on here?"

Women are born to love gossip, and Princess Zhang Xiaosi sat down and whispered, "That guy's name is Xu Yuan. He's Sister Yu's staff member and also Director Jiang's senior."

"Senior? Thirty years old? But he looks like he's in his twenties, wouldn't you believe it?"

"That's right. At first, many people mistakenly thought that he and Sister Yu had that kind of relationship."

"Um... so you're saying that Yu Qingwan was able to appear on 'I Am a Singer' to clarify things because of Xu Yuan's connections?"

"Yes, that should be it. It seems like Director Jiang and Sister Yu don't get along."
