After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 1042 - 552: Scandal Rumors (Part 2)
Chen Feng shook his head and said, "Her voice is very good, and her high notes are indeed high, but there's not much emotion in her singing. It's more about showing off her skills. And although your singing skills might not be as good as hers, every song you sing is full of emotion and resonates with people, which is something she can't match."
Lin Yujiao felt a bit embarrassed being praised like that, "How can I be as good as you say? Compared to Ziqi Aguo, my popularity is way lower."
Chen Feng continued shaking his head, "That's where you're mistaken. The reason she has such high popularity now is entirely because she signed with a company. Her company is strongly supporting her from behind the scenes, buying internet buzz to promote her, organizing fan groups, and there's all kinds of PR within the show to make sure she gets the mentors' special attention.
As for you, you're completely grassroots, not signed to any company, and you haven't done any PR with the show or the mentors. It's perfectly normal for you to get eliminated.
The reason you got eliminated isn't because you're not good at singing, but because you don't have a sponsor backing you, nor did you build good relationships with the show and the mentors.
Otherwise, you and this Aguo might have been able to compete head-to-head in the upcoming competitions."
Lin Yujiao smiled bitterly, "I still can't compare to her. She's younger, more driven, and energetic than me. Plus, she has the added advantage of being from an ethnic minority, and her relationships with the show's team and mentors are much better. She's a college graduate, while I'm only a junior high school graduate, and I've been married and divorced. I'm older, my relationships aren't as good, and my singing skills aren't as good as hers either..."
"Enough." Chen Feng interrupted her, a bit displeased, "You're too lacking in confidence. Don't you know you're actually very pretty? Much prettier than this Aguo. Among this year's Good Voices, you could be said to be the prettiest; otherwise, you might have been eliminated in the last round already.
The fact that you were only eliminated at the end of the group battles shows your own strength. From what I see, in your group, only Aguo is slightly better than you in terms of singing skills; the other contestants aren't as good as you. Unless you didn't perform well this time, otherwise, eliminating you would be unfair. Tell me, who did you PK with this time?"
The Good Voice singing competition is all pre-recorded and only broadcast once a week in the evening. The episode in which Lin Yujiao gets eliminated would air two days later on TV.
"It was Zhao Qiang." Lin Yujiao mentioned the name, still feeling a bit wronged, "He did perform well this time, but I wasn't bad either. To be honest, it wouldn't be unfair to eliminate either of us. But clearly, the mentor eventually chose to eliminate me. Maybe, as you said, my relationships aren't that good."
Chen Feng comforted her, "That's not your fault. In elimination matches like these, mentors do have some authority to decide who gets eliminated, but most of the power still lies in the hands of the show. If the show wants a mentor to eliminate someone, the mentor typically can't refuse. Not to mention, since your relationship with the mentor isn't great, the mentor wouldn't openly support you, so it's normal to eliminate you. But that doesn't mean your abilities are inferior to others. Once I find a good song for you, we'll release a single to slap the Good Voice production team in the face."
"Is it that easy to find a good song?" Lin Yujiao asked, looking both hopeful and apprehensive.
"As long as there's money, finding a good song shouldn't be difficult."
Chen Feng was quite confident. There are many songwriters and composers in the country; as long as you're willing to pay, a good song shouldn't be hard to find.
"Then I'll wait for you to find me a good song."
Lin Yujiao smiled at Chen Feng.
Sweet dreams followed for the evening.
The next day, when Chen Feng woke up, Lin Yujiao was still asleep, and he didn't wake her. She's the owner of a clothing store, so there's no need to open the store very early in the morning.
After washing up, he put on a set of sportswear Lin Yujiao had bought for him and went out for a run.
Since moving to No. 8 Villa, he seldom went running by the East Lake lakefront anymore.
This time, he had a great run. Compared to running in the neighborhood, running by the lakefront has better air and more beautiful scenery, but there are drawbacks too; with more people around, you have to slow down and dodge people from time to time.
When he got back to the Lakefront Villa, Lin Yujiao was already up and making breakfast for him.
Chen Feng greeted her and went upstairs to take a shower. When he finished and came down, they sat down together for breakfast. They rarely had such a private time together, so they were both in a good mood.
After breakfast, Chen Feng suddenly felt keen, and Lin Yujiao couldn't help her shyness, half-heartedly resisting.
Afterwards, they had to go upstairs to shower together again.
By this time, it was almost nine in the morning, so they headed out together, bidding each other farewell at the door.
Chen Feng returned to No. 8 Villa and began another leisurely, uneventful day.
Until noon, when Sun Wu and Wu Meng came back, they didn't ask where he'd gone last night.
This has become the tacit understanding between the three of them.
However, soon after lunch, Wu Mengting, with a strange expression, looked at Chen Feng after receiving a WeChat message, and asked, "Bro, did you visit Yu Jiao last night?"
After a slight pause, Chen Feng nodded naturally.
Wu Mengting then said, "Your relationship with her has been exposed by the paparazzi, I'll send it to you to see."
Chen Feng's expression changed as he quickly checked the news link Wu Mengting sent to his phone.
It was from a self-media account, with the headline "Good Voice Contestant Lin Yujiao Lives with Mysterious Man," published just after ten in the morning. Their speed was pretty fast.
The gossip piece included photos of him meeting and talking with Lin Yujiao at her store yesterday afternoon, photos of him entering the Lakefront Villa later, and most notably, photos of them leaving the villa together today, confirming their cohabitation relationship.
The article detailed how he went to meet Lin Yujiao at her store, then returned to the villa to wait for her, and then left the villa together the next day.
With photos as evidence, it was undoubtedly genuine.
The only thing to be thankful for was that, probably due to distance, his likeness in the photos wasn't very clear. Clearly, the paparazzi were also trying to avoid exposing his front face. Among all the five photos, he was in three of them, but none were full frontal shots.
Anyone unfamiliar with him probably wouldn't be able to recognize him from the photos.
Chen Feng really hadn't expected that Lin Yujiao, just a Good Voice contestant who had only recorded three episodes and already been eliminated, would be secretly followed by paparazzi.
It's likely Lin Yujiao herself hadn't expected this either.
Her popularity in this season of the Good Voice competition wasn't particularly high.
It's just that Good Voice is one of the top domestic variety talent shows, and having been run for several seasons, it naturally carries high traffic and topic interest. Once this article was published, many people viewed it.
In less than two hours, it had already garnered over 900,000 views and was shared more than 5,000 times.
As expected, the public loves gossip, showing the most enthusiasm for these kinds of romantic rumors.
It's no wonder many celebrities often hype scandals and buy spots in hot searches.
"Bro, what are you planning to do now?" Wu Mengting's question may have seemed standard, but it carried a hint of schadenfreude.
