After binding the entertainment system, she made countless top stars

Chapter 666, Issue 1, Page 19

I don't believe the staff would suddenly cause such a mess :)

[Should I believe the show's explanation, or believe I'm the Duke?]

[Xiwen didn't even communicate with the audience before directly claiming it was an employee mistake; that's even less believable!]

[Xiwen just spent ages trying to smooth things over, but he didn't say anything about what happened backstage, so it's definitely not Lin Zhihao who was supposed to appear!]

[No need to guess, it must be some singer who was afraid of facing Clementa, so they forced the amateur to switch their performance order with him.]

[Lin Zhihao looks like this kind of person.]

The show shouldn't have given the challenger a second chance.

[The fact that he didn't go on stage or give an explanation for his delay, and the more he tries to brush it off, the more it suggests there's a problem.]

……

With such blatant discussions in the comments section, many viewers who hadn't expected this level of detail felt that the viewers might have guessed the truth of the matter.

But not everyone thinks so.

The order in which the challengers appear is never predetermined; some people shouldn't resort to conspiracy theories about everything.

[Couldn't there have been some other issue backstage? Why did they have to change the performance order?]

Without evidence, isn't that blatant slander?

[Brother Zhihao wouldn't do such a thing]

[How could Brother Zhihao be afraid of that old woman? Some people shouldn't overthink it.]

[Could the person questioning the order of appearance be a fan of Chen Yubai?]

[It should be said that Chen Yubai was afraid of Brother Zhihao!]

……

It's obvious to anyone with eyes that these people are Lin Zhihao's fans.

They even went so far as to claim that the others were Chen Yubai's fans, which really lowered their image.

Unfortunately, no matter how much the two sides argued in the comments, the production team couldn't give a direct response.

Xiwen's gaze lingered on the comments for only a moment before he smiled and asked the person beside him:

"So, now that you're the challenger, who do you want to challenge?"

The camera switches between Clementia and Chen Yubai.

Lin Zhihao seemed to hesitate for a while before finally making up his mind: "The person I want to challenge is Chen Yubai."

After finishing speaking, worried that the host wouldn't give him a chance to explain, he quickly said:

"Although I really want to challenge Ms. Cleefia, I came here tonight specifically for her, and it would be wonderful to compete against her. I don't want to miss this opportunity tonight."

Xiwen's lips twitched almost imperceptibly:

"Okay, please—"

"Wait a minute." Lin Zhihao suddenly interrupted the host, looked at Chen Yubai, and said gently, "You sang the Korean song very well just now. I hope we can have another competition using Korean songs as the subject."

Chen Yubai was somewhat reluctant to respond.

He's not without a temper, so why should Lin Zhihao's word be law? Is this show produced by his family?

Perhaps sensing that the other party wanted to refuse, Lin Zhihao blurted out:

"What? You don't dare?"

His tone was provocative, but his facial expression remained impeccably composed, still bearing that gentle smile.

The more you look at it, the weirder it gets.

Chen Yubai suppressed his displeasure and calmly said, "As the champion, of course I must accept all challenges."

That means you've agreed.

But the fact that he remained calm when he mentioned the 'champion' almost caused Lin Zhihao to lose his composure.

[Are you really not afraid of Cleefia?]

[Lin Zhihao's expression was a little distorted.]

[Do they have a grudge? It seems like Lin Zhihao is targeting Chen Yubai.]

[There's no grudge...it's clearly jealousy.]

[That's kind of funny, did Xiwen just quietly move a step further away?]

[Lin Zhihao's expression looks fake.]

[This could be made into a meme, the fake smile boy.jpg]

……

Lin Zhihao was unaware that some particularly attentive viewers were already 'cricketing' at him.

He stood alone on the stage, having adjusted his breathing, ready to sing.

Inside the VIP room, Chang Yun, as usual, searched for the song title online: "It seems there's no record of it; it must be a new song."

"Are they going all out?"

Soon, facts proved Chang Yun to be right.

Because as soon as the intro ended, Lin Zhihao started his singing with a high-pitched note.

Applause spontaneously erupted from the audience.

Even Sander, who dislikes him, is muttering that this new song is not simple.

Liang Mei checked the lyricist and composer immediately:

"He is a very famous composer in the Korean region, and he is also one of the top composers in the entire Western Continent."

"He probably thinks that you were able to rank second before because the quality of your songs was too good."

Now, by releasing a high-quality new song and performing a challenging vocal piece, he definitely intends to prove himself and, incidentally, put Chen Yubai down.

Chen Yubai was speechless: "This person is really inexplicable. I have no conflict with him... I flirted with him first and he didn't even know it."

"Don't worry about him," Liang Mei comforted her. "Just focus on singing your own song and don't be nervous."

"Ah."

Chen Yubai was still holding a grudge.

He wasn't nervous facing anyone else, but he was never nervous facing Lin Zhihao.

This person is scheming to push me out of the picture, but I'm determined not to do what he wants!

Thinking of this, Chen Yubai's eyes became even more determined.

Liang Mei was pleased to see this.

Just then, Xiao Liu, who had gone to gather information, returned to the lounge, his face still showing signs of excitement.

Liang Mei handed him a glass of water. "Judging from your expression, you've got some gossip to share?"

"It is indeed a juicy story, and it's somewhat related to us—"

What Xiao Liu went to inquire about was Lin Zhihao's postponed appearance.

The three of them were in the lounge at the time and naturally had no idea what had happened.

Xiao Liu volunteered to go and inquire—but actually went out to gossip.

Some of the TV station staff speak the common language of the planet Earth, so he doesn't need to worry about language barriers.

As it turned out, I heard quite a lot on this trip.

Putting it all together, that's probably the whole story behind the change in the order of appearance on stage.

Sander pointed to the comments: "They actually guessed right!"

“It’s no longer a guess, it’s an obvious fact,” Liang Mei corrected.

"That video clip that was suddenly played was probably deliberately released by the production team because they didn't like him. If any of the staff members don't keep their mouths shut, there will be some good shows to watch."

Xiao Liu bluntly commented: "Then he deserves it."

If Lin Zhihao had overheard their conversation, he might have lost his composure and made a mistake.

However, he knew nothing.

The performance lasted five or six minutes, and she made no obvious mistakes from beginning to end, while maintaining a very high level of singing.

This is a music competition program after all.

It has a competitive nature, so everything depends on strength.

Therefore, the barrage of comments that were originally full of speculation and doubt gradually turned into praise and affirmation.

[You sang so well!]

[This tune is awesome!]

[It seems Lin Zhihao hadn't gone all out before.]

[Textbook-level high notes]

Chen Yubai is truly in grave danger this time.

……

Regardless of what other audience members think, Lin Zhihao's fans are already popping champagne halfway through the match.
