Da Fei Band, No Da Fei

Wang Zhi quickly ordered a few dishes. The two of them set up a small dining table. Although it was a bit simple to entertain such a distinguished guest, the dishes were still very plentiful.

Liang Yin was a little excited and said, "Will Shen Jianbin come? Will Su Yulin come? Have you ever seen Su Yulin play the drums? She's so cool!"

Wang Zhi frowned and handed his phone over.

"Shopkeeper's wife, you should take a look at this first."

Dafei Studio's official account announced today that because Dafei (original name Lin Chudong) did not follow the company's arrangements, his labor contract has been terminated. The new lead singer, Wu Bo, will replace Dafei as the band's lead singer. A national tour will begin next month. Please show your support.

One Weibo post instantly caused a huge uproar.

"Dafei was fired? What's going on?"

"Holy crap, Dafei's gone, my youth is over! Can the band still be listened to without Dafei?"

"Here's a joke: Dafei Band, without Dafei."

"Who gave you the guts to fire Dafei? Did you ask the fans? Even if he didn't follow company arrangements, he shouldn't have been fired?"

"I'm in the industry, and I'll say something fair. Shen Jianbin, I C$%&N$%^&M..."

"I heard before that Dafei's refusal to participate in variety shows caused dissatisfaction within the company. Now it seems it's true."

"But isn't Dafei the boss of Dafei Studio? Who can fire him?"

"He's not. Shen Jianbin is."

"Is that the keyboardist who always wears sunglasses?"

"..."

The fans of Dafei Band were basically equivalent to Dafei's fans. Upon hearing that the lead singer was replaced, the fans were very dissatisfied.

This news directly surged to the trending searches, and the shares quickly exceeded one hundred thousand.

At the same time, the public relations company also made its move.

In less than half an hour, the entertainment news trend shifted to another direction.

"I heard Dafei was arrogant, acted like a diva, and was the sole authority in the band, scolding all the musicians."

"I heard that too. Once during a live broadcast of a gala, Dafei left early, leaving a twenty-minute gap. The host had to sing several songs awkwardly to avoid a broadcast accident."

"Talent is talent, but you also have to follow rules and respect the staff."

"What you're saying are just superficial reasons. The real reason is that Dafei, Su Yulin, and Shen Jianbin are in a love triangle, so their relationship broke down."

"Holy crap, are you serious about that upstairs?"

"Things in the entertainment industry don't come from nowhere; most of them are true."

Looking at the netizens' comments, Liang Yin and Wang Zhi fell silent.

Da Fei was fired?

So that's why he came to the piano shop to apply for a guitar teacher position?

This was too ridiculous. He was a professional singer, once very popular. Even if he was fired, he shouldn't be this down and out, right?

Wang Zhi said, "I analyze that what's said online might not all be fake. The news about Da Fei, Su Yulin, and Shen Jianbin's love triangle is the most reliable. He's here at our piano shop to escape, to avoid Su Yulin finding him..."

While Wang Zhi was rambling on, the lesson over there had also ended.

Ms. Zhang walked over, her face filled with satisfaction.

"I'm renewing my lessons, buying another twenty classes. But I have one condition: it must be this Teacher Lin who teaches. Otherwise, I'll still request a refund!"

As she spoke, she shot Wang Zhi a glare.

Wang Zhi felt wronged but had to swallow his pride and keep apologizing.

After seeing Ms. Zhang off, Liang Yin directly closed the rolling shutter door.

"We're closed today."

"Welcome, Da Fei!"

Lin Chudong was stunned and then smiled, "Thank you, Shopkeeper's wife."

Liang Yin seemed a bit flustered, "You really want to come here and be a teacher? You're a top-tier singer!"

Lin Chudong shook his head, "What top-tier? Look at my Weibo, I only have tens of thousands of fans. My songs are popular, but I'm not."

Liang Yin was slightly taken aback. It was true, otherwise, she wouldn't have taken half the day to recognize him as Da Fei.

"But... you're not short of money, are you?"

A singer of Da Fei's caliber, how could he possibly go for a salary of six thousand a month?

Lin Chudong gave a wry smile, "How about we eat first?"

Little did they know, he had been staring at the food in front of him for a long time.

Liang Yin said, "Oh, right, right, right. Eat quickly. Thank you for teaching the child just now!"

After Lin Chudong took a few bites, Wang Zhi said, "Brother Fei, have you seen Weibo?"

Liang Yin frowned and stepped on his foot.

Bringing up a sore subject!

Lin Chudong smiled faintly, "Dafei Studio made an official announcement, right? What did they say?"

Wang Zhi said, "They said you disobeyed company arrangements, so they terminated the contract."

The atmosphere suddenly became a bit strange. Liang Yin and Wang Zhi exchanged glances, both becoming cautious.

Lin Chudong, however, didn't seem to care, "It's fine, they didn't smear any dirt on me."

Wang Zhi frowned, "You're too calm. Are you really willing to leave the band like this? Did your romantic relationship with Su Yulin lead to this outcome?"

Liang Yin was so angry her chest visibly swelled, and she stepped on his foot again under the table.

He's at least half a musician, don't be like those brainless reporters asking endless questions!

Lin Chudong said helplessly, "Why don't we finish eating first? Shopkeeper's wife, you've stepped on me twice now."

"Ah, sorry, sorry!" Liang Yin blushed beet red.

Not to mention, this shopkeeper's wife was quite pretty, but her figure was too prominent, making people overlook her face.

The three ate a few bites of food in silence. They discovered that Dafei was no different from an ordinary person; he ate meat, vegetables, and rice...

Liang Yin couldn't help but ask, "Will you make a comeback?"

Lin Chudong shrugged, "I haven't retired either, I just don't have a company anymore. I won't be performing for now."

"Then what are your plans next?"

Lin Chudong said, "I plan to be a piano shop teacher to make a living, then find an ambitious investor, form a band again, and be my own boss."

Liang Yin's eyes lit up, and she patted her chest, saying.

"Me! My piano shop has a lot of musical instruments, I support you forming a band!"

"Do you think I'm ambitious?"

Lin Chudong glanced at her while eating, "Big."

Wang Zhi said, "Indeed big."

Liang Yin: ...

After eating until they were about eighty percent full, Lin Chudong walked around the piano shop.

It had two floors. The lower floor was mainly for guitars, acoustic and electric guitars, as well as bass guitars.

Half of the upper floor was pianos and violins, and the other half was drum kits. It had all the mainstream instruments, which was standard for a piano shop.

Liang Yin stood with her hands on her hips, looking proud.

"What do you think? Don't let my shop's size fool you, I have instruments suitable for performances. If you want to form a new band, I'll support you!"

Wang Zhi immediately picked up a guitar and his hands flew across the fretboard, launching into a very flashy solo. He slapped the strings and plucked them, executing all sorts of difficult techniques.

"Brother Fei, what do you think of my skills? How about letting me be a guitarist in your band?"

Lin Chudong glanced at him but didn't reply. A few seconds later, he turned his head and continued looking at the instruments.

The silence at that moment was deafening.
