Thank you for the support from the brothers of "Don’t Leave, Never Give Up" and "Greenery and Green Grass," thank you for supporting me!
Initially, not only did the Wuxiang Legion not offer him a promotional spot, but Yang Kun even personally called to deliver the final ultimatum. This greatly hurt Li Changlin’s sense of belonging to the Wuxiang Legion.
Later, as he rose against the current, although the Legion arranged quite a few promotions, they also proposed conditions for exchange, which made Li Changlin even more resentful.
Especially that Xiao Rou—she had no popularity base at all and yet was arranged to interact with him live, which was blatantly plundering his own fan resources.
Li Changlin was no fool; why would he allow himself to be manipulated by the Wuxiang Legion?
Especially Yang Kun—Zhao Enrong once had a private chat with Li Changlin, saying that the newbie host called Xiao Rou seemed to have been taken advantage of by Yang Kun. This made Li Changlin even more displeased.
In fact, whether Yang Kun had taken advantage of Xiao Rou had nothing to do with Li Changlin—it was the mere fact that Yang Kun arranged Xiao Rou to go live with him that crossed Li Changlin’s line.
He had his own convictions and his own principles.
As for that Xiao Rou, Li Changlin didn’t feel he owed her anything.
If that was the case, why should he look out for Xiao Rou, just because she was taken advantage of by Yang Kun?
What a joke, Li Changlin felt extremely frustrated.
The tone of Yang Kun’s call now also annoyed Li Changlin a lot.
No matter what, Li Changlin could now be considered as the flagship host of the Wuxiang Legion. What right did Yang Kun have to speak to him with the same tone as before?
If it weren’t for contract issues, Li Changlin would have turned hostile long ago.
It’s maddening; did they really think he couldn’t make it without the Wuxiang Legion?
"Oh, so you went to the auditions for The Voice of Xuan Yuan, huh!" Yang Kun felt a lump in his heart and probably sensed that his tone had been too intense, so he quickly tried to laugh it off. "Li Changlin, I know your strength is formidable, and getting through the auditions of The Voice of Xuan Yuan shouldn’t be a problem at all. Just focus on preparing and strive for higher achievements. If it’s convenient, please remember to do some promotion for the Legion. Don’t worry, Li Changlin, the Legion won’t let you down. After you restart your broadcast, I will definitely arrange a good promotional spot for you."
Upon hearing that Li Changlin participated in the auditions for The Voice of Xuan Yuan, Yang Kun was a bit dumbfounded.
He knew that with Li Changlin’s ability, not to mention just a preliminary audition in a provincial city, even if it was the provincial finals, Li Changlin wouldn’t feel any pressure at all.
Faced with such a situation, Yang Kun immediately backed off, feeling that once he rose powerfully through the platform of The Voice of Xuan Yuan, then even the Wuxiang Legion, or even the Endless streaming platform, would have to ax to grind with Li Changlin.
"I’ve already been eliminated," Li Changlin could roughly guess what Yang Kun was thinking. To this kind of face, he sneered and had no desire to use The Voice of Xuan Yuan or anything else to boost his own reputation and fame.
Moreover, the fact was the fact. Since he had already been eliminated in the auditions for The Voice of Xuan Yuan in Nanfu Province, regardless of the reasons, Li Changlin didn’t need to cover up anything for his actions.
"What, what?" Li Changlin’s words greatly surprised Yang Kun. "Impossible, Li Changlin, you sing so well, how could you have been eliminated?"
Yang Kun couldn’t believe this was the outcome.
Upon hearing that Li Changlin had actually been eliminated, he was genuinely a bit stunned.
But soon, Yang Kun reacted, feeling that Li Changlin’s elimination seemed to have great benefits for both him and the Wuxiang Legion.
"What’s so impossible about that? The judges commented that my singing was too frivolous, unsuitable for the atmosphere of Xuan Yuan’s Good Voice," Li Changlin said with a indifferent smile, calmly stating, "I guess it’s probably due to the style of my live streaming, which led to this outcome. But that’s alright, I’ve decided to try the auditions again in Southern Yue Province. If it still doesn’t work out, then I can give up and focus on my broadcasting career."
Li Changlin’s words were calm. Of course, he wouldn’t reveal his true intentions for coming to Huacheng to Yang Kun.
However, when it came to Xuan Yuan’s Good Voice, Li Changlin naturally hadn’t given up so easily.
Since there were still several days left for the auditions of Xuan Yuan’s Good Voice, Li Changlin wasn’t worried at all, especially since he only needed to get a certain privilege from Sky Horse Records.
Although Sky Horse Records hadn’t gone public or anything, the company had a solid foundation, especially its CEO, who was a big name in the industry and possessed many resources to utilize.
If it weren’t for a series of damaging behaviors by the company’s artists, Sky Horse Records might have been planning to go public soon.
It was only because the company had experienced several incidents in succession that it received warnings from the provincial broadcasting authorities.
"Indeed, that’s the sad part about being a broadcaster," Yang Kun said, naturally believing Li Changlin after hearing what he had said, "If it really doesn’t work out, come back quickly. After all, the Legion has many arrangements."
Knowing about Li Changlin’s elimination from the Xuan Yuan of Nanfu Province’s Good Voice audition, Yang Kun’s tone became colder again.
But it wasn’t time to fall out yet, and he also wanted to make good use of Li Changlin, so he wouldn’t burn bridges just yet.
Li Changlin had no idea of Yang Kun’s thoughts, so he just gave a noncommittal response.
Then, the two chatted about indifferent matters for a few more sentences and hung up the phone.
"Damn it, that bastard Li Changlin, how dare he show me attitude in front of me; he’s really asking for it!" After hanging up, Yang Kun slapped his hand on the desk, his face darkening.
To be honest, he hadn’t expected to misjudge the situation. If he had known about Li Changlin’s potential earlier, a few small recommendations at the time would have meant nothing.
But now, regretting these issues was obviously pointless.
The urgent matter at hand was to push Xiao Rou to the front quickly. After all, Yang Kun was quite fond of Xiao Rou and couldn’t just use her up without giving back.
Filled with resentment, Yang Kun felt slighted by Li Changlin, and his mind was full of various calculations.
After all, the Legion had only signed a one-year short contract with Li Changlin, and Yang Kun knew Li Changlin would eventually leave the Legion, so he had to act fast.
Otherwise, if he let the time drag on, Li Changlin would become even harder to control!
About this, Yang Kun felt very helpless.
