Something Wrong in the Head
"Hello everyone, I'm your host Lili. The 'Voice of the New Star' talent show has begun. To ensure the authenticity of the program, we will be broadcasting it live. Now, let's welcome the one hundred trainees participating in the show!"
[It's finally started! I heard Mo Su and Li Xu are both here, and the rap Mentor is Hu Hu!]
[The Director put in a lot of effort for safety; even Hu Like from Yingbu Entertainment came!]
[No joke, I came here to see Ke Ke.]
When Ai Xiaoxing appeared on stage, the audience suddenly fell silent.
Who is this? Yi Xing Entertainment? I've never heard of them before.
[Weren't they supposed to be hiring big companies? What's wrong with the Director?]
[Wait a minute, doesn't this person look like Ai Xiaoxing, who's been really popular lately?]
[I remember now, she sings incredibly well! But how did she end up with a company I've never heard of before? Aren't there tons of entertainment companies signing her?]

Just as Xu Yi finished dealing with company matters, he heard the sudden surge in Emotion Points and realized that the talent show must have started, so he took out his phone and turned on the live stream.
"Alright, now that our one hundred trainees are seated, our three Mentor will be taking the stage next. The first is our vocal Mentor, Ms. Mo Su; the second is our dance Mentor, Ms. Li Xu; and the third is our rap Mentor, Mr. Hu Hu!"
After the Mentor were seated.
"Alright, enough chit-chat, let's get started on our First Stage! Let's see who the first lucky one will be? Hu Like from Yingbu Entertainment!"
As soon as Hu Like stepped onto the stage, cheers erupted from the other trainees, and the audience was also very excited.
[Ke Ke! Ke Ke!]
[Our Ke Ke is the first one, she's definitely an A!]
[It seems like it will be difficult for students who follow Hu Like to be accepted into the program; the Mentor will definitely use her as a benchmark.]
"Hu Like? That name sounds familiar. Oh, right, didn't she imitate my song before and then accuse me of plagiarism? Is the fifth imitator about to be launched?" Xu Yi sneered.
Hu Like's First Stage was an imitation of a song written by Xu Yi, except that she added dance to it. The Mentor were generous with their praise, and she received an A rating.
[Ke Ke is so beautiful, and this song is so good too.]
[This song sounds so familiar, it's similar to one sung by Ai Xiaoxing before.]
Xu Yi posted a comment that stood out because it was verified as Yi Xing Entertainment.
"What do you mean by plagiarizing my song? Did you not have a brain to borrow it and failed? Did you even want to borrow the song?"
[Negative Emotions +50]

At this moment, Hu Like couldn't see the comments, but the viewers could and all defended Hu Like.
[I won't say who plagiarized, okay? Our Ke Ke has talent, what do you have?]
[A small company dares to make a fuss here.]
"So it turns out some people really do have their rectum connected to their brain."

At this point, the host mentioned Ai Xiaoxing's name.
"The next trainee to come on stage is Ai Xiaoxing from Yi Xing Entertainment!"
The crowd watched the large screen and began to whisper among themselves.
"Yi Xing Entertainment? I don't think I've ever heard of it."
"This Ai Xiaoxing seems to be the one who's really popular lately. She sings so well, and her lyrics really resonate with me."
The Mentor exchanged bewildered glances. Hadn't the Director said that everyone coming this time was from big companies? Why were they from a small, unfamiliar company?
After taking the stage, Ai Xiaoxing bowed to the Mentor and said, "Hello Mentor, my name is Ai Xiaoxing, from Yi Xing Entertainment. The song I'm performing is called 'My Tears Are Scattered Emotions'."
After saying that, Ai Xiaoxing began to sing.
I won't shed a tear; I'll hold back my emotions.
"I shed tears, my emotions shattered."
After the song ended, not only were the trainees in the audience moved to tears, but the viewers in the Livestream Room were also brought to tears, as if everyone was reminded of that boy and girl from their memories.
"These lyrics are so well written."
"I hereby declare myself her devoted follower."
[Sobbing, I miss my first love...]
[The true ultimate aesthetic of be...]

At this moment, Hu Like looked at Ai Xiaoxing with a somewhat gloomy expression. Where did she get so many new songs? She couldn't let herself be outdone by her!
The Mentor also began to evaluate Ai Xiaoxing.
Li Xu coldly looked at Ai Xiaoxing and said, "Why isn't there any dance? This is a talent show, not The Voice, understand? What are you doing participating in a talent show if you can't dance? As expected of a small company, they can't even afford to send their artists to dance lessons."
Hu Hu said irritably, "Although your voice is very good, this whole song is just ballads with not a single rap verse. Is this even a song? Who told you to sing this kind of song? I've never even heard of it before. Is it plagiarized?"
Mo Su paused for a moment, then said, "Ai Xiaoxing, right? I think you captured the essence of this song, and your voice is indeed very good, but I haven't heard this song before..."
"Distinguished Mentor, this song was written and composed by my Boss, Xu Yi..."
Li Su interrupted, "Your Boss? I've never heard of that company. Someone like that can write songs? What a joke!"
Ai Xiaoxing didn't speak, her eyes were a little red.
When the viewers in the Livestream Room saw this, they did not take her side.
[This is hilarious! I was thinking the lyrics were so well-written, they made me cry, but it turns out it's plagiarism.]
[Exactly! If someone really had that kind of talent, why wouldn't they join a big company like Yi Xing Entertainment, which I've never even heard of?]
[Negative Emotions +50]

Xu Yi, his face cold, called the Director: "Director, what's going on? Explain this!"
"There's no other way, this way the show will get more viewers, and besides, what if she really did plagiarize the lyrics..."
"Did I give you too much face? Did I make you think you're some kind of decent person?"
[Negative emotions +100]
The Director hung up the phone without saying a word.
Inside the Livestream Room.
A few minutes later, Hu Hu, holding the score sheet, said, "Ai Xiaoxing, First Stage rating: F."
Mo Su gave Ai Xiaoxing a thumbs-up and said, "It's okay, you're an A in my eyes, keep it up!"
Ai Xiaoxing nodded. "Okay, thank you, Mentor."
The Livestream Viewers in the Livestream Room were furious when they saw this, and they all flocked to Xu Yi's Livestream to confront him.
[Yi-ge, your men are being bullied!]
[Is this Mentor out of her mind? She sang very well.]

"Some dogs bite without looking at their owners. You're pulling strings and relying on connections, huh? I'll see who has the strongest backing!"
