Four Seasons Hotel.
"Luning, did you tell Sister Hong about you being my guest supporter?"
"Oh, Sister Zhang, this is a small matter, I can make my own decisions. I'm a big star!"
An Luning said, lifting her small face, her expression animated.
However, her slightly smug expression, with her cheeks puffed out like buns, really didn't exude the aura of a big star.
It was just that her expressions and features were too lively. She would either stand there blankly in a cute daze or get carried away easily, which is why the media often captured all sorts of unflattering photos of her making faces.
She was an artist with extremely poor facial control, almost the polar opposite of Jiang Yuanchu.
Even though she was so good-looking, you could still find plenty of "ugly photos" of her online.
Zhang Xiaorong was a little worried, mainly because she felt she owed An Luning's agent, Sister Hong.
Sister Hong had wanted to sign her as an artist for a long time, but instead, she had quietly signed with the company newly opened by Bai Youlou.
While this couldn't exactly be called betrayal, as Zhang Xiaorong hadn't taken any resources from Sister Hong, she still felt some guilt after knowing her for so long.
Originally, she hadn't intended to ask the famous A-list actress An Luning to be her guest supporter; it was too flashy.
But her social circle was quite limited. She had wanted to contact friends from the dance circle and the film academy, but in reality, she didn't have many friends, and they were all busy.
One person she knew, who knew An Luning, told her about it. As a result, this girl proactively declared that she was determined to be her guest supporter.
It also happened that An Luning was in Hangcheng these few days for a brand event and to shoot commercials, so she could spare some time for this.
She was determined to have the experience of being "the strongest guest supporter in the history of talent shows."
Of course, this was all behind her agent's back.
After all, the song Zhang Xiaorong was going to sing was written by Bai Youlou.
"Luning, what if people find out who wrote my song later, and you get scolded along with me?"
This was Zhang Xiaorong's final piece of advice, but An Luning's thought process was quite peculiar.
"Hmph! Useless man!"
"Huh?"
"If Bai Youlou can't protect you, Sister Zhang, we'll terminate our contract with him! I don't believe he'd have the nerve to collect the breach of contract fee!"
"...That's not good."
"How was I supposed to know that asking Sister Zhang for a favor would lead to you getting entangled? Of course, I have to snatch you back!"
As for snatching her back, Zhang Xiaorong immediately changed the subject: "Um, Luning, do you want to know which songs I've prepared this time?"
"Yes! Can I hear them now?"
"I can't spoil it for you. You'll hear them when we start recording later."
"Then what are we waiting for! Let's hurry and go~"
Looking at the girl's sudden eagerness, Zhang Xiaorong couldn't quite tell if she was more excited to hear her sing or to hear the song written by Bai Youlou.
There was a significant difference between the two.
An Luning was very familiar with the Zhejiang Blue TV studio. As an A-list TV station, she had recorded programs here many times. So, upon arriving at the entrance, she acted like a co-host, leading Zhang Xiaorong inside.
She seemed more familiar with the place than the staff guiding them.
However, if it weren't for the staff's timely reminder, she would have almost led Zhang Xiaorong to the judges' lounge.
She was used to it.
Meanwhile, the staff member guiding them felt that Zhang Xiaorong's guest supporter friend looked somewhat familiar.
Even though she was wearing a mask and a hat, only her pair of almond-shaped eyes were visible, yet she still gave the impression of being a great beauty.
A friend of a beauty is likely also a beauty.
So, if you spot a beautiful woman, don't rush to pursue her; get to know her best friend first, she might be even prettier!
Zhang Xiaorong had left a deep impression on many people when she registered earlier. She was officially registered with the "The Voice" production team.
Contestants who are good-looking have such an advantage.
Not to mention she was an "original singer." The production team was already planning to use her as a secret weapon to boost viewership ratings.
Bai Youlou was responsible for the controversial traffic, while Zhang Xiaorong was responsible for the genuine traffic!
Original against original, this would surely create great showmanship!
Although "The Voice" promoted itself as "just listen to the voice," viewers could see the contestants' appearances when the show aired.
The prettier they were, the more attention they naturally received, giving them a significant head start over other contestants.
Upon arriving at the lounge, Zhang Xiaorong was a little nervous, mentally running through the song over and over. She didn't care if she performed poorly and embarrassed herself, but she didn't want to let down the song Bai Youlou had written for her.
An Luning, on the other hand, was getting restless. The lounge, where multiple contestants and their guest supporters were gathered, was very lively. At first, she found it novel and worried about being recognized, but after a short while, she started looking around.
Where was that guy Bai Youlou?
Bai Youlou: My man is chilling in the judges' lounge.
Honestly, he hadn't expected Zhen Dongjun to be so stubborn.
He had actually "chased him" all the way from the "Tomorrow's Star Show" program to "The Voice."
If this wasn't love.
Seriously, if this guy suddenly announced he was gay and his marriage to Dong Lu was just for show, and that he actually had a crush on Bai Youlou, it would surprisingly sound somewhat plausible.
He couldn't have her, so he used his own wife as a scapegoat to frame Bai Youlou, with the real intention of making the idol who appeared in public his own private possession.
This couldn't continue; it was too disgusting.
This kind of subject matter should be left to those fangirls who could churn out an angsty romance novel in minutes.
At this moment, Old Zhou and Long Ziqiang were looking at Bai Youlou with an expression that seemed to say, "This gentleman is truly a divine being!"
Damn, how did he manage this?
To make the wronged party so magnanimous.
Zhen Dongjun was also quite interesting. He didn't talk much with Bai Youlou, seemingly just to tell him: "I'm here."
Then, he very politely asked them to leave.
After leaving the mentor's lounge, Bai Youlou and the other two found a stairwell to have a private chat. They finally reached a conclusion:
Either Zhen Dongjun had evidence that could prove Bai Youlou's innocence, knowing he hadn't done anything.
Or they had to admit the diversity of species.
They had all seen "Little Blue Bird" and other strange resources, so there was no need to pretend.
There were always people in this world who had peculiar tastes.
They just liked to put a cuckold's hat on themselves and revel in it.
For those who directly shared video materials, they had to give them a thumbs-up and praise their broad-mindedness. It was more off-putting when novelists had this kind of hobby.
Currently, the former possibility seemed higher; this bastard likely did have some evidence in his hands.
After all, the incident happened in his own home.
Technology had advanced these days; even if surveillance footage was deleted, it could still be recovered.
As for the "cuckold" possibility, they would keep it on hold for now.
To be fair, although his wife Dong Lu was over thirty and had given birth, her looks and figure were still alluring. Otherwise, the previous Bai Youlou wouldn't have fallen for it so easily.
Just for that, they quite wanted to make "friends" with him.
No other intentions, they just liked making friends!
After a round of analysis, Old Zhou jokingly said, "If he turns around, and I were you, I'd pick him directly. You can't expect me to guarantee your advancement all the way, can you?"
After saying this, Old Zhou suddenly felt a bit uncertain.
He then asked with a doubtful tone, "He really won't, will he?!"
Bai Youlou rubbed his chin, his gaze gradually becoming serious.
Slap!
He slapped his thigh abruptly and unexpectedly.
The force of the slap made Long Ziqiang wince, thinking, Damn it, you should be slapping your own thigh!
But there was no time to cry out in pain, because his Brother Lou had already presented a new action plan:
"The plan has changed, prepare to win the championship!"
