Chen Feng once again spoiled Qi Fulin's plans, maybe it's just fate.
Chen Feng of course didn't feel guilty about it. Qi Fulin is definitely a scumbag, and he even tried to get Chen Feng to help him hide the fact that he brought another woman to a hotel, so Fang Xiaoyue wouldn't find out.
As Fang Xiaoyue's old classmate, Chen Feng certainly couldn't let him succeed.
As soon as Qi Fulin left, Chen Feng sent a ssage to Fang Xiaoyue on WeChat, telling her about it.
Fang Xiaoyue replied quickly: [I know. Thank you. However, I broke up with him two days ago. We have no ties anymore]
Chen Feng glanced at the ssage, intending to reply, but Lin Yujiao ca just then. Even though she was wearing a big mask, Chen Feng recognized her imdiately, so he put his phone away and went to et her.
More than two hours later, in the hotel room.
Chen Feng got out of bed, twisted open a bottle of pure water, gulped it down, and then turned to Lin Yujiao asking: "Do you want a bottle too?"
"Sure." Lin Yujiao answered. They had worked out together earlier and were quite sweaty.
Chen Feng grabbed another bottle of pure water from the bedside table, walked over to the bed, and handed it to her.
Lin Yujiao took it, twisted it open, drank more than half of it in one go, then put it down, panting slightly as she said: "In a few days, I have to go to Xiu Zhou to record a program again. Can I visit you then?"
Chen Feng readily nodded: "Of course. You can even stay in the villa by East Lake."
"During the recording, the program team arranges accommodation uniformly, and my parents will go with . I can't move freely. I can only visit you after the recording is over."
"Alright, I'll wait for you then."
Chen Feng sat by the bedside, smiling: "You must be famous now, aren't you? How does it feel?"
The new season of The Voice aired a few days ago. Although the buzz wasn't as strong as the early seasons, many people still watched. Lin Yujiao, who participated in this talent show, unsurprisingly beca known in her hotown.
Of course, since it was just the blind audition stage, her popularity wasn't very high, but still, appearing on one of the top dostic variety shows made many people in her hotown aware of her.
Lin Yujiao replied with a mix of happiness and frustration: "Quite a few people recognized from TV, and many people I know or don't know contacted . At first, my parents' place had plenty of visitors every day. The clothing store also attracted a crowd. Luckily, after three or four days, fewer people ca to see the spectacle. By yesterday, no one specifically ca to the store to see anymore."
"This is just the beginning. Won't you continue appearing on TV? If you keep getting through each round, eventually standing out, by then you'd truly be a star. If you keep showing up publicly, crowds will gather around you every day."
Lin Yujiao sighed: "I'm not confident I can keep passing successfully. The other contestants are very strong, many of whom are also younger, more appealing to the audience, and favored by the ntors."
"Don't underestimate yourself. You're actually not that old, and you look pretty. The main thing is you sing really well. I believe you can at least record two or three more episodes. You might not make it to the final four, but within your group, you should be at least in the top three."
Chen Feng knew that these variety shows often had so behind-the-scenes deals and operations. As an amateur singer with no background or strong promotional backing, it would be difficult for Lin Yujiao to reach the top four in the grand finale.
Lin Yujiao, of course, was also aware of this and said with a bitter smile: "I think I might be able to record two more episodes at most. In the upcoming internal group selection, it's really down to the ntors' personal preferences, and my ntor doesn't seem to value much, so I might be eliminated after this recording. The last episode would be just to stand on stage during the grand finale with the other eliminated contestants."
Seeing she was so clear-headed, Chen Feng didn't need to remind her of anything else, he just curiously asked: "Has any company contacted you, wanting to sign you?"
Lin Yujiao nodded: "Yes, quite a few, at least five or six. They all want to sign . But I'm not foolish. I did so research and found out about their backgrounds. Only one is fairly legitimate, while the others are just shell companies. There were also so people contacting to be my manager. I didn't agree to anything. I never intended to beco a professional singer or enter the entertainnt industry."
"Your perspective and attitude are great. But since you love singing so much, you could consider releasing songs as a hobby. Nowadays, with the internet so developed, you could self-fund the release of one or two singles, find a studio to record, and a producer to produce them. It could be a way to fulfill your dream. If you're interested, I can help you with this."
Although Chen Feng didn't want her to join the entertainnt industry, he wasn't against her treating singing as a hobby. Many amateur singers now independently produce songs and distribute them on major music platforms, especially short video platforms, and so of them have beco well-known this way.
"I've thought about it. But I'll wait until I finish participating in the show. The main issue is finding a good song. If the song isn't good and isn't to my liking, it'd be a waste of money."
Chen Feng thought for a mont and said: "Regarding songs, I'll help you find a way. As long as the budget is there, I think I can find you a good song, even have soone tailor a song specifically for you."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yujiao's eyes lit up: "Do you have the contacts and resources for that? If the song is good, I can spend more money."
"I'm also sort of mingling in the entertainnt industry now. Finding so professional talent in this area is relatively easy for . I'll ask around once I return to Xiu Zhou."
"That would be amazing. If there's a good song that suits and I can get it produced and released, I feel like my life wouldn't have been in vain."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely help you fulfill this wish."
After all, Chen Feng and Lin Yujiao were old comrades, and their friendship was strong. Besides, Lin Yujiao had never made any unreasonable demands, unlike Liu Ying, which made things much easier and less stressful for him.
Regarding her wish to release a song, Chen Feng was certainly willing to help as much as he could.
Touched by his offer, Lin Yujiao naturally initiated another workout session with him.
It led to Chen Feng's original plan to go ho and sleep that night being interrupted, so he instead stayed at the hotel with Lin Yujiao.
Chen Feng didn't find anything wrong with this, other than having to endure so nagging from his mother.
When they woke up in the morning, they worked out together in the room. They finished exercising at around nine, freshened up a bit, and Lin Yujiao left first, with Chen Feng checking out a few minutes later.
