Chapter 426: 197 Unworthy (Second Update)

Zhao Xinrong sneakily gave Zhou Zhengru a thumbs up, a real master at smoothing things over.

The director’s team breathed a sigh of relief, gratefully seeing that Zhao Xinrong and Zhou Zhengru were normal people who managed to get things back on track.

The storm had passed, and the show continued.

A young girl dressed in a white dress walked onto the stage, her figure exuding a sense of freshness and grace as if a cool breeze had brushed against everyone’s face, dispelling the heat and noise within the broadcast room, and calming everyone’s hearts instantly.

Zhao Xinrong’s eyes lit up, “This girl has a good image and temperament.”

Image and temperament are the top priorities for idols, followed by singing talent. Although the priorities might be misplaced, this is how the idol market works today.

That was also the core of the debate between Qu Feitai and Xu Lian’er earlier, although neither of them pointed it out explicitly.

Zhao Xinrong marked a check for the girl’s image and temperament on the form, as did Xu Lian’er and Zhou Zhengru, leaving only Qu Feitai sitting motionless.

Xu Lian’er said with a smile, “This girl reminds me of one of Xiao Fei’s songs, ‘White Dress.’ It seems she’s another fan of Xiao Fei.”

The song “White Dress” by Qu Feitai was actually written for Ming Jing, the top socialite of Jiangzhou and an open secret in the entertainment industry.

This young lady was indeed a legendary figure, well-known in the entertainment circle. Unfortunately, she had no interest in diving into the big dye vat that is the entertainment industry, given her high net worth.

When people think of the song “White Dress” now, they naturally associate it with Ming Jing. No one else could own that unique style while wearing a white dress.

This girl could only be described as “not bad,” but comparing her to the real deal would be overestimating herself.

“Hello, teachers, my name is Zhu Xiangxiang and I am from Jiangzhou. It has always been my dream to stand here.”

Qu Feitai, who had not looked up from the start, suddenly raised his head when he heard the girl’s words. His delicate eyebrows instantly became extremely sharp.

This scene was perfectly captured by the camera, which then focused on the girl on stage.

The girl had long hair draped over her shoulders, a delicate and fair complexion, a gentle and elegant temperament, and glistening almond-shaped eyes that seemed to hold within them a pool of spring water. She looked shyly in one direction, blushing, making her seem even more bashful.

“From Jiangzhou, huh? That’s a land of outstanding people. I remember that Ming Jing is from Jiangzhou too,” Zhao Xinrong said with a smile, giving a sidelong glance at the young man beside him.

It was well known that Ming Jing and Qu Feitai, as a couple, had been popular since the “Three Meals a Day” show, with their fans firmly holding onto the top spots in various rankings, defeating the once-popular Boys Love and becoming the last paradise for Girls Love enthusiasts.

Unfortunately, Ming Jing never ventured further into the entertainment industry and had no public interactions with Qu Feitai, much to everyone’s regret.

Now that Zhao Xinrong had mentioned Ming Jing, both the audience and the students were instantly abuzz. Was this some information from the front lines?

The director excitedly had the cameraman focus on Qu Feitai’s face, seizing the rare opportunity. The show was going to be a hit.

At this point, everyone’s attention was on Qu Feitai, and no one noticed the girl’s face on stage turning pale in a flash.

Qu Feitai nodded and said “Hmm” in response to Zhao Xinrong’s words. His face remained aloof, not revealing any micro-expressions.

Disappointed at the lack of drama they had hoped for, the audience’s spirits dampened.

Zhao Xinrong was even more disappointed.

He was sure that there was something between the two, but Ming Jing, being in Jiangzhou and Shen Zhou’s sister, was hard to approach. The only option was to dig for information through Qu Feitai.But Qu Feitai’s reaction was a bit too calm, which made Zhao Xinrong a little suspicious.

Zhao Xinrong coughed and looked at the girl on stage, “Why did you decide to take part in this show?”

It seemed like every contestant was asked this question. It had almost become a standard query. Then, the contestants would begin telling their stories, and the more heartbreaking the story, the more they could win over the audience.

The girl looked in one direction and smiled faintly, “So I can stand in front of him openly and honestly.”

Zhao Xinrong understood, as did everyone else.

Another one targeting Qu Feitai, to which everyone had become accustomed.

“What song are you going to sing today?” Zhao Xinrong asked.

“White Robe.”

Xu Lian’er raised an eyebrow: “Bravery, the original singer is right in front of you. Regardless of how well you sing today, I’ll let you advance purely on this courage alone.”

“Thank you, Master Xu.”

Qu Feitai looked up at the girl only when he heard her name, and then he lowered his gaze, not looking at her again. When he heard the girl sing his White Robe, he furrowed his brow but did not speak.

The accompaniment sounded, and Zhao Xinrong couldn’t help but hum along. It was just as delightful no matter how many times he heard it.

The girl’s voice was clear and matched the song quite well. She delivered a unique flavor with her affectionate eyes and hesitating singing, perfectly expressing the feelings of a young girl with a hidden crush.

Singing the climax “The mountain has trees and branches, who in the world can match…”.

Everyone was captivated by the girl’s clear and melodious voice. The girl on stage, dressed in a white robe, seemed like the person in the song. This sincere and full emotion deeply touched every person present.

However, a piercing “ding” sounded, interrupting everyone’s thoughts and the girl’s singing.

The words “White Robe” were lodged in the girl’s throat, without another chance for her to finish.

Qu Feitai pressed the stop button, interrupting the performance. Amid countless puzzled gazes, Qu Feitai coldly said, “Unstable breath, showing off your voice, overacting in your performance, and blatantly ambitious. Please don’t tarnish my song.”

The scene was in an uproar instantly. The girl on stage bit her lip, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked mournful and pitiful. People couldn’t help but feel sympathy for her and think that Qu Feitai was going too far.

In the past, even if a singer’s performance was terrible, Qu Feitai would still listen through the end without interrupting like this.

Although his comments were often harsh, they were generally objective and just seemed too strict. However, he used the word “tarnish” when speaking about this girl. For a young girl, it was almost like an insult.

Seeing the girl’s pale and distraught expression, it was truly heartbreaking. She sang so beautifully. How could she have tarnished his song?

For a moment, many people looked at Qu Feitai with confusion and anger.

Xu Lian’er slammed the table, finally bursting out, “Qu Feitai, don’t go too far. This girl’s singing has no problems at all and completely meets the standard. You are being nitpicky and not objective.”

Zhu Xiangxiang choked up and quickly said, “Master Xu, please don’t blame Master Qu. I humbly accept his criticism. It’s true that I didn’t sing well and tarnished Master Qu’s song….”

Look at her, the girl is so understanding, she’s even defending him. Does he have a conscience at all? Is his heart made of stone?

Qu Feitai was under siege but did not panic. With a slight smile on his lips, he said, “White Robe is my exclusive copyright. Anyone who sings it without my permission is infringing on my rights. Moreover, no one in this world can truly sing my White Robe. The song should remain untainted, free of any filth. To sing it with utilitarian intentions is to tarnish my White Robe.”

His words were basically saying – you are not worthy of singing my White Robe!
