"So tonight, the music festival remains as bustling as ever, and everyone continues to laugh as before. But who still remembers Chen Wanru from back then? Yes, a phoenix in distress is no better than a chicken, but hasn’t anyone noticed that tonight’s music festival is missing someone?"
As Ling Momo spoke these words, a slight buzz stirred through the crowd.
Ling Momo’s eyes grew cold as she continued, "The person missing is Jian Chenxi."
When it came time to present the Top Ten Golden Songs Award, only Jian Chenxi’s assistant had arrived; the woman herself was nowhere to be seen!
Now, with Ling Momo’s reminder, everyone suddenly realized that Jian Chenxi, who had been on the rise for the past two years, was noticeably absent from such an important event!
Any star longing to secure a foothold in the music industry would never miss the music festival, which is thousands and even tens of thousands of times more important than any other event!
With Ling Momo’s remark, the crowd not only noticed that Jian Chenxi had not attended the music festival, but that she had also received only one Top Ten Golden Songs Award!
"If Ling Momo hadn’t mentioned it, it wouldn’t have crossed my mind. I knew something seemed off tonight. It turns out ES’s Jian Chenxi didn’t show up!"
"Yeah, why didn’t Jian Chenxi come? Everyone knows about Chen Wanru’s scandalous disqualification, but Jian Chenxi’s influence at ES is far greater than Ling Momo’s, so why would ES promote Ling Momo today instead?"
"I heard that ES’s CEO Enson has a liking for Ling Momo. If Jian Chenxi was getting in Ling Momo’s way, could there be something else going on here?"
"That’s quite possible..."
Li Qingshen sat there, listening to the low conversations of the signed artists from various music entertainment companies around him, his gaze growing colder and colder. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel fire.net
Staring straight at the girl on the stage, his hands clenched into fists!
A rising anger that he couldn’t suppress no matter how hard he tried began to surge within him.
He had clearly told her not to meddle!
He knew she was upset on behalf of Chen Wanru and that she didn’t believe all this was arranged by Chen Wanru. He had thought she’d forget about it after a short outburst of her childish temper.
Besides, she had been very well-behaved recently, and he had thought everything was fine. Little did he know that she had been holding back, intending to use the live media broadcast to clarify things for Chen Wanru!
Li Qingshen felt his anger growing larger. If he could, he really wanted to storm the stage and drag her away, but unfortunately, it was a live broadcast and no one could stop her from continuing to speak.
"Everyone knows that Jian Chenxi joined ES before me and, by all rights, is my senior. In the entertainment circle, we have an unwritten rule that juniors must not surpass their seniors—unless the senior’s performance is so dismal that a different argument is made. However, as everyone can see, Jian Chenxi’s achievements are no worse than mine. She became famous a year earlier than I did and is my senior from the same agency. Therefore, even though Chen Wanru was disqualified from this year’s music festival due to scandal, it still shouldn’t have been my turn. If anyone, it should have been Jian Chenxi’s turn."
"Yet, here I am, the recipient of this year’s Most Popular Female Singer Award. Doesn’t everyone wonder why that is?"
