“Ziyue, why is she here?”
Leng Ziyue was also shocked. Before today, he had heard nothing about Tang Guo joining this show.
And he also couldn’t understand how Tang Guo could have possibly gotten on it.
It was simply unbearable for Lu Qi. Tang Guo’s appearance had caused her to not sing as well as she usually did, making her performance well below par. She immediately went looking for the program director.
“Director Chen.”
Chen Yuesheng was the director of “The Child of Music,” and he was also the man who had single-handedly made this program possible. In the variety show business, he was a very prominent figure and was someone that many people dared not offend.
“Why is Tang Guo on this show? I didn’t hear anything about the show having surprise guests before.”
Since her debut a long time ago, Lu Qi had always had people supporting her and raising her up. She hadn’t suffered much hardship along the way. Plus, because Tang Guo was obstructing her in every way possible, Lu Qi gradually started to lose her mind and reason.
So much so that she forgot that Chen Yuesheng wasn’t someone she could simply question on a whim.
Originally, Chen Yuesheng had been relatively satisfied with Lu Qi. She was the prodigy of a music class and had once gone abroad to further her studies in music. She maintained a cordial relationship with the audience and sang quite well, and her voice was also unique.
Provided there weren’t any unforeseen circumstances, she should be the most outstanding contestant on this season of “The Child of Music.” She was bound to be a big hit and extremely popular after she left this stage.
However, Lu Qi’s performance today made him feel somewhat disappointed.
It was always a bad idea to compare people, because if he were to compare Lu Qi to Tang Guo, of course he would like the latter more.
They had both made their debut at the same time and in the same place, but in just a few months’ time, the public’s evaluations of the two were worlds apart.
It wasn’t that the audience didn’t like Lu Qi. Rather, the audience liked Lu Qi as a person, but they didn’t like her songs. It was just her outward personality that they liked.
Chen Yuesheng was a true musician inside and out. Of course, he would prefer Tang Guo, who dedicated herself solely to music.
So when he got a call from Leng Rui, who said he wanted to recommend someone as a surprise guest, and when he found out that this person was Tang Guo, he didn’t hesitate to agree.
Tang Guo… he had long wanted to invite this new junior singer to the show, especially when this junior was someone so focused on music. It was so unfortunate that she didn’t seem to be enthusiastic about participating in variety programs.
It had never crossed his mind that Leng Rui would recommend Tang Guo to him.
“Do you have anything to say about it?”
Chen Yuesheng felt uncomfortable being confronted by Lu Qi’s questioning. He was the director of the show and was in charge of the program. He practically didn’t have any other investors just so he could have full say over all matters and produce a fairer program in the music industry.
“I…” Lu Qi opened her mouth, but for a moment, she couldn’t find anything else to say, so she said, “I’m just very surprised because I hadn’t heard anything about it before.”
Realization instantly dawned on Lu Qi, and she pursed her lips. She couldn’t possibly say that Tang Guo’s appearance was the reason why her performance had been below par, right?
“Since a surprise guest is a surprise, after all, of course it won’t be revealed beforehand that there’s going to be a surprise guest on the show.” Chen Yuesheng said indifferently, “Lu Qi, your performance today was quite off. It wasn’t at your usual level. I hope that you’ll adjust and get up to your usual standard before the next show.”
“I know.”
No matter how unhappy she was in her heart, Lu Qi didn’t dare to keep questioning the director.
Chen Yuesheng wasn’t the least interested in saying anything more to Lu Qi either, and he walked away somewhat hastily.
Lu Qi spent some time thinking about their conversation, and felt that she hadn’t had a good attitude just now. So, after a while, she headed over to where Chen Yuesheng was, ready to apologize.
She had never expected to see a scene that made her so mad that even her blood started to boil.
“How are you adjusting to our show, Tang?” Chen Yuesheng was all smiles as he said, “What’s going to happen next is that there’ll be a section where the guest will have to perform a song. Are you okay with that?”
