Twenty minutes later, Liangyin Music Shop.

Lin Chudong sat on a piano bench, surrounded by five people, as if being interrogated.

"Speak, confess honestly."

"Brother Fei, be lenient if you confess, severe if you resist. Don't try to tough it out."

Lin Chudong was speechless. "What should I say?"

"About your relationship with Lin Qiqi!"

"We are innocent."

"Who believes that!"

Lin Chudong said helplessly, "Stop messing around. This is a publicity stunt. You all know the plan. It just went a bit off track. Lin Qiqi suddenly acted on her own, but in a way, she helped me out. Everyone remember her favor."

Wang Zhi asked in a low voice, "Brother Fei, is there really nothing going on between you and her?"

Lin Chudong said, "If there was something going on between me and her, would I still form a band with you?"

Wang Zhi was stunned, then put on a mournful face. "Brother Fei, what you said is a bit hurtful."

"It's right to hurt you. Go practice your bass!"

Everyone shrugged. It seemed there was indeed no gossip, so they quickly went back to their own training.

Liang Yin sat in front of the computer, monitoring the news on Weibo.

"Da Fei, it really made it to the trending searches."

They had anticipated this effect. They were aiming for the trending searches in the first place, but this time it was even more exaggerated. Da Fei alone occupied three of the top ten trending searches.

"Da Fei and Lin Qiqi's suspected romance exposed, has the national goddess fallen for a musical prodigy?"

"Da Fei causes a scene at Li Dan's wedding, how much humility is sung in the song Guest."

"Musical genius Da Fei!"

After all, Lin Qiqi's popularity was higher. The rumor with Da Fei directly surged to first place.

The remaining two hovered between ninth and tenth.

Today's event became a hot topic of discussion for the entire internet.

"What on earth makes Da Fei so capable? I'm going to switch careers, I'm going to become a singer and win back my wife!"

"Stop bragging. Do you have as much musical talent as Da Fei? Don't you even look in the mirror!"

"Holy crap, you guys think, if Da Fei and Lin Qiqi get married in the future, I should sing Guest at their wedding?"

"Don't be shameless. What relationship do you have with my wife?"

"She'll be Da Fei's wife in the future. Sob sob, as I said, the clown is me. I'm more heartbroken than Da Fei!"

"Aren't you guys worried about Li Dan and Zhang Yao? That couple is probably fighting right now."

"Fighting over Da Fei on their wedding night, that's quite a spectacle."

"I bet Lin Qiqi couldn't stand it today, so she stepped forward to declare war on Li Dan! You don't want Da Fei? I do!"

"That's really domineering. As expected of my wife!"

"But how did she end up dating Da Fei? And seeing them together, I'm not even sad. Instead, I think they're so cute, what's going on?"

"No, no, absolutely not. I must boycott Da Fei!"

"You're going to boycott a musical genius who wrote Guest?"

"I..."

"Seriously, Da Fei's musical talent is undeniable. Why did Shen Jianbin, that idiot, fire Da Fei?"

"Didn't you notice Da Fei became even more awesome after going solo? Every song is a trump card, and he's appearing more often. Da Fei is the true musical genius. Shen Jianbin will just have to regret it."

"..."

The online discussion was overwhelming, but there wasn't much negative sentiment.

Firstly, Da Fei and Lin Qiqi were just rumored to be together, and it wasn't officially announced, so fans were still in a wait-and-see phase.

Secondly, the song Guest was just too explosive. If it had been released casually, it wouldn't have caused such a huge reaction.

But singing it at their wedding made it perfectly fitting, and the effect reached its peak.

Da Fei's popularity surged instantly. The Liang Yin Band's fan count directly skyrocketed by over a hundred thousand in just a few hours.

Liang Yin was very satisfied with this outcome.

"Da Fei, can we get some gigs now?"

Lin Chudong said, "It's hard to say. I checked recently, and most music festivals are after the Mid-Autumn Festival. The closest events are the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala and the Singing Huaxia variety show hosted by Magic City TV Station. It won't be easy for us to get on either of those."

Their popularity had indeed increased. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, getting on music festival lineups shouldn't be difficult.

However, Lin Chudong's goal wasn't just music festivals; he aimed for bigger stages.

He had tried contacting them just now, but hadn't received any responses.

He also knew some staff at Magic City TV Station, but unfortunately, the other party hadn't replied.

Perhaps the TV station didn't think this kind of buzz was worth it. Even if Da Fei was very popular online, they didn't need him to boost their viewership ratings.

"Right, did you give Li Dan and Zhang Yao the things I asked you to?"

"Yes, a musical score plus ten thousand yuan from the band."

"Hmm, deduct this from my salary."

"No need, consider it band expenses."

Lin Chudong didn't insist further. Suddenly, Tian Yingxiong sent him a WeChat message.

"When the hell did you and Lin Qiqi get together? You didn't even tell me, that's not cool!"

Lin Chudong: Last time you played the poor persona, my Qiqi even donated to you. You better return it.

Tian Yingxiong: ? Are you kidding me?

Lin Chudong: Do you have any connections for the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala? Bring me along.

Tian Yingxiong: Do you think I can get in? I'm begging you to bring me!

Lin Chudong: Then kneel and await your imperial audience.

Tian Yingxiong: ...

Besides this guy, even Su Yulin sent him a WeChat message.

Su Yulin: Really?

Lin Chudong: Who are you talking about?

Su Yulin: Lin Qiqi, of course.

Lin Chudong: Fake, this is our second time meeting.

Su Yulin: Oh.

Just after chatting with them, Lin Qiqi suddenly sent a WeChat message.

Lin Qiqi: Are you asleep, Da Fei?

Lin Chudong: Not yet. Did your agent contact you? Do we need to do an emergency PR response?

Lin Qiqi: No, I usually go to bed after nine in the evening. They won't bother me.

Lin Chudong felt ashamed. Her status was too high!

Ordinary artists, even popular ones, would be severely scolded by their agencies if something like this happened.

Lin Qiqi had a scandal, and her agency hadn't even called her. The reason was they were afraid of disturbing her sleep?

What do you call a rich young lady?

This was it!

Look at how comfortably she lived her life as a star.

Then look at himself, struggling to create scandals, the difference was huge.

Lin Chudong: "Then let's sleep, it's getting late."

Lin Qiqi: "I didn't hear the song you sang today, make it up to me next time."

Lin Chudong: "Okay."

Lin Qiqi: "Goodnight."

Lin Chudong put his phone aside and glanced at the Red Treasure Chest given by the system. There were still more than three days left, which was just before the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala began.

He hoped to get a few Lucky Cards, maybe there would be a turning point.

Just then, someone suddenly pushed the door open from outside.

"Is this the Liang Yin Band?"

Liang Yin came downstairs and asked.

"Are you here to buy a piano or..."

Lin Chudong saw the person and quickly stood up.

"Director Sun?"

The person who entered was the chief director of the Magic City TV Station's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, Sun Xuan!

On the other side, Shen Jianbin and Sun Jie were drinking. They often had late-night snacks at the company, eating, drinking, and smoking. Anyway, they were just musicians and didn't need to take care of their voices.

"Da Fei is shameless, actually starting to create scandals. His popularity is rising again."

Shen Jianbin snorted coldly, "Once his popularity rises, there will definitely be small variety shows looking for him."

"But it doesn't matter, that's all after the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala. At the gala, we'll bring out our Trump card, let Wu Bo fire the first Cannon, and suppress him."

"Anyway, with their band's lousy reputation, they won't get into the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala."
