Lin Mu stood before the company's guardhouse, his expression utterly cold, a stark contrast to the gentle and honest demeanor he displayed during his call with Feng Bingbing.

He began to recall the situation on the judges' panel during the show recording.

Feng Bingbing sat on the far right, Zhang Zheng and Wang Xinzhe in the middle, and Zhou Yiyi on the far left.

At the time, he vaguely felt something was off but didn't pay it any mind.

Now that he thought about it, considering Chen Xin's approach as a rising female director, Feng Bingbing, the popular Little Diva, and Zhou Yiyi, a top-tier idol, were the show's biggest selling points.

Logically, these two should have been seated in the center.

Yet, the two most popular mentors were positioned at opposite ends.

Ordinary viewers might not be sensitive to such seating arrangements, but how could Lin Mu not understand?

Was this the production team intentionally separating the two?

Combined with what Feng Bingbing had just said, perhaps Zhou Yiyi had indeed made some inappropriate move towards her before the recording.

Right, when they were on stage, Zhou Yiyi kept glancing at Feng Bingbing's seat.

Could it be that...

Holy shit!

"Lin Mu, Lin Mu?"

The security guard's voice came from behind him. "What's wrong?"

Lin Mu turned around, grinning. "Nothing."

He then turned and walked out of the company gate.

The security guard stared blankly at Lin Mu's retreating back and murmured, "Why do I feel like Lin Mu's eyes were a little scary just now?"

After walking a distance from the factory gate, Lin Mu called Fat Tiger.

"Come pick me up."

"Huh? Brother Mu, what happened?"

"I'll go deal with Zhou Yiyi myself."

"Huh? Brother Mu, didn't you just say we needed to keep a low profile?"

"Less nonsense, hurry up and get over here!"

"Okay, okay."

Jiangrong Satellite TV, third floor, women's restroom.

Feng Bingbing emerged from a stall with a cheerful smile, saying to Zhou Wanqing, whose face was grim, "Sister Wan Qing, you needed to pee too?"

Veins popped on Zhou Wanqing's forehead as she walked to each stall door and pushed it open to check.

Feng Bingbing chuckled. "No need to look, Sister Wan Qing, I already checked. No one's here."

Zhou Wanqing glared at her irritably. "There's no one now, but what if someone suddenly walked in while you were video-calling that person?"

Feng Bingbing shrugged indifferently. "Wouldn't that be perfect? I could just announce who the person I confessed to at the concert was."

"You..."

Zhou Wanqing was about to explode with anger and said with a cold laugh, "You might want to announce it, but will your Senior even pay attention to you?"

Feng Bingbing replied, "Senior and I chatted for a long time just now, and we even agreed he'll come to Shanghai to find me in a few days."

"He's on a business trip, not specifically coming to see you, Feng Bingbing. Can you be a little more realistic?"

Zhou Wanqing said helplessly, having overheard their conversation from outside earlier.

"There's more. When I said I was interested in a male contestant, Senior immediately got unhappy. Wow, Senior looked so cute when he was jealous!"

Feng Bingbing cupped her face with her hands, her eyes crinkling into a smile.

"You're hopeless." Zhou Wanqing covered her face, despairing of this person.

"Sister Wan Qing, someone's coming!"

At this moment, a round head peeked in. It was Xiao Zhu, who was acting as a lookout outside.

"Let's go. The show is about to resume recording."

Zhou Wanqing and Feng Bingbing immediately put on pleasant smiles and walked out of the restroom together, greeting the staff who had just entered with smiles.

As the two left the restroom, Xiao Zhu quickly followed and whispered to Feng Bingbing.

"Little Bing, I heard you almost beat up Zhou Yiyi backstage?"

Feng Bingbing snorted, "That guy was trying to take advantage of me."

"What?! How badly did you hit him? Did you beat him within an inch of his life?" Xiao Zhu immediately asked.

"Stop messing around!" Zhou Wanqing's head ached. After a moment of thought, she said, "I'll go find Guo Yan later and have her manage her artist." Guo Yan was Zhou Yiyi's agent.

The three returned to recording hall number two. Escorts were not allowed in the recording area. Feng Bingbing waved to the two and turned to go inside.

"Bingbing." Zhou Wanqing suddenly called out to her.

Feng Bingbing turned back.

"If Zhou Yiyi bothers you again, don't hold back. Beat him within an inch of his life, and I'll cover for you," Zhou Wanqing said calmly.

Feng Bingbing was stunned, then smiled and nodded before turning to go inside.

Fortunately, the next two days of recording went without any further issues. Zhou Wanqing also spoke with Zhou Yiyi's agent, Guo Yan, who immediately apologized and promised to properly discipline Zhou Yiyi.

Around seven in the evening on the second day, the recording for the "Pure Voice" 100-to-80 competition was finally completed. Key contestants like Wu Tian, who received an S Card, and Dawei Tianlong, among others, all advanced smoothly. Chi Yuting, who was initially put on hold during her first stage appearance, narrowly passed the qualifying round, allowing her journey to continue.

While the contestants experienced their own joys and sorrows, an unpleasant incident occurred backstage among the mentors.

"Bingbing, are you free tonight? I heard you like hot pot. Want to go together?" Zhou Yiyi suddenly pushed open the door and walked in while Feng Bingbing was getting ready to change in the dressing room.

Feng Bingbing looked at him coldly, "Don't you know you should knock before entering a girls' room?"

Zhou Yiyi chuckled dismissively, "Bingbing, what's there to be afraid of? We're practically family now."

Feng Bingbing stood up directly. Xiao Zhu, startled, quickly moved to block Zhou Yiyi's escape route, just in case Little Bing decided to act. Several staff members, sensing trouble, rushed in to separate the two. The assistant director also arrived, smiling apologetically. "Teacher Feng, Teacher Zhou, Director Chen said everyone has worked hard and is inviting the mentors to dinner tonight."

Feng Bingbing nodded, "Thank you, Director Chen. I'll be there after I change." She acknowledged Director Chen's kindness, even if Zhou Yiyi was trash.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Only Zhou Yiyi, oblivious to how close he was to getting beaten again, shamelessly said, "What a coincidence, Bingbing. See you later." With a self-proclaimed charming smile, he turned and walked out of the dressing room.

"I'm so sorry, Teacher Feng. The lock on this lounge door broke a couple of days ago and hasn't been fixed yet. It was our oversight. Thank you, Teacher Feng!" The assistant director wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and repeatedly apologized to Feng Bingbing. He was in charge of backstage operations, and if Zhou Yiyi's stupidity caused an incident between the mentors, he would be finished. All four mentors had their own private lounges. Anyone with common sense and manners knew to knock before entering a woman's room. Therefore, the staff hadn't paid much attention. Who would have expected Zhou Yiyi to barge directly into Feng Bingbing's lounge? Feng Bingbing's restraint just now was indeed a significant favor to Director Chen.

"Xiao Zhu, let's go." Feng Bingbing nodded to the assistant director, deciding not to change clothes there anymore. She left the lounge with Xiao Zhu. The assistant director let out a wry smile. Damn it, why did they hire such an idiotic pretty boy?!

"What?! Zhou Yiyi bothered you again?" A few minutes later, in Feng Bingbing's van, Zhou Wanqing's face turned ashen. She immediately called Zhou Yiyi's agent, Guo Yan.

"I'm so sorry, Wanqing. It was my oversight. I'm talking to him right now!"

"Xiao Zhou didn't mean any harm. He just wanted to invite Bingbing to dinner. He's just a bit clueless about things between men and women."

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry. I promise it won't happen again!" The string of apologies from the other side made it difficult for Zhou Wanqing to press the issue further. She could only remind Xiao Zhu to be more attentive in the future and to always stay with Feng Bingbing.

Meanwhile, in another car, Guo Yan hung up the phone, chuckled softly, and said to Zhou Yiyi:

"You really like Feng Bingbing?"

Zhou Yiyi immediately nodded: "She's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. I have to win her over."

Guo Yan thought for a moment and nodded:

"That's fine. Your popularity has been declining lately. It's a good opportunity to create a fake couple with Feng Bingbing to boost your fame. However..."

Guo Yan lowered his voice: "What about your other girlfriends?"
