Contestants’ Resting Room.
Wang Hao was resting here with Jiang Feng, making the final preparations before the competition.
After the auditions started, contestants took the stage one after another, with each person averaging less than a minute. For those who took a bit longer, it generally meant they made it through the auditions to the next round of competition.
Of course, singers who received affirmation were few and far between — in half an hour, over forty people had performed, but only two had earned the approval of the mentors.
“The girl named Huang Ying has decent strength, eighty-six points is well deserved,” Wang Hao commented as he watched the live broadcast on the TV in the resting room: “That Cheng Delong was so-so; although he scored eighty-seven points, his real talent is far less than Huang Ying’s. He might be related to someone influential.”
Jiang Feng nodded in agreement, “Yeah, I also think Huang Ying is more impressive.”
As the two were watching, suddenly Wei Yuanzhou’s voice rang out —
“Yo yo yo, already getting ready?” Wei Yuanzhou, Zhang Hua, and Su Hongye came over laughing, Wei Yuanzhou, with a carefree attitude, plonked himself next to Jiang Feng and said, “Well, no wonder you’re getting geared up. You have to perform well this time. There are so many people in the audience today, most of them are waiting to see you make a fool of yourself, haha.”
At Wei Yuanzhou’s words, Jiang Feng’s face flushed with anxiety again.
He couldn’t help it; he had failed too many times, so now he became extremely nervous whenever he stood on stage.
“I thought you had some class,” Wang Hao said leisurely: “I didn’t expect you to stoop to such low tactics. Let me guess, you’re afraid Jiang Feng will turn the tables, so you’re not giving up any chance to strike at your opponent, right?”
“Isn’t striking at the opponent something every contestant should do?” Wei Yuanzhou, still sore over the previous bet of fifty thousand, said with a laugh: “I conveniently picked number eighty-seven for my turn. You see, with how things turned out, it’s a bit embarrassing, haha!”
Zhang Hua and Su Hongye next to him also smirked, with Zhang Hua even commenting mockingly, “I’m number ninety-six. Oh dear, maybe I should take a hit for the team and we swap, I’ll take number eighty-eight and you take ninety-six, that’ll give you a bit of an edge, how about that?”
With Zhang Hua’s remark, the three of them laughed even more triumphantly.
“Hehe, seems like you don’t have much confidence either,” Wang Hao simply closed his eyes and laughed: “Generally speaking, only rivals of the same level would play these boring psychological games to undermine each other’s confidence. I originally thought you wouldn’t even consider Jiang Feng on your level and wouldn’t bother with him. But here you are, running over eagerly to pay homage. This shows how significant Jiang Feng is in your hearts.”
As he spoke, he patted Jiang Feng’s shoulder hard and chuckled: “See? They’ve already admitted you’re at their level, what are you afraid of?!”
“Right!” Jiang Feng’s confidence, which had almost been shattered, soared to new heights instantly upon hearing Wang Hao’s words! He became entirely energized and exclaimed, “Only rivals of the same level would do such things, I’ve already earned your recognition, what is there to fear!”
“You!” Wei Yuanzhou, having thought his plan to mock had been flawless, couldn’t believe it backfired so rapidly, boosting his opponent’s morale instead; he retorted angrily: “Humph, just skilled in making pretty speeches. Let’s see the real deal on the stage!”
Wang Hao waved them off as if shooing a fly and laughed: “Have a good one, no need to see you out!”

Just as the three were about to leave, Wang Hao suddenly added another comment: “Hey, who was it again, Su Hongye, right? My offer from yesterday still stands; you still have time to chase after our Jiang Feng.”
“Tch, in your dreams!” Su Hongye’s face turned bright red with anger: “Chase you, in your dreams!”
…
The previous contestants finished quickly, and in just over ten minutes, it was Wei Yuanzhou’s turn to go on stage!
“Little Feng, remember,” Wang Hao kept his eyes on the TV, instructing: “In tactics, you must despise the enemy, but in strategy, you must respect them. This guy is your first stepping stone. While you despise him, you also need to take him seriously, for forewarned is forearmed, understand?”
“Understood!” Jiang Feng nodded vigorously: “I will take every opponent seriously!”
After all, Wei Yuanzhou was good-looking, sang well, and came from a privileged home. His future as a star seemed bright. So the moment Wei Yuanzhou appeared on stage, the venue erupted with cheers, with many girls in the audience screaming at the top of their lungs: “Wei Yuanzhou, I love you! Just like a mouse loves rice!” “Wei Yuanzhou, please date me!”
Even the mentors below greeted him amiably: “Hello, what’s your name? Where are you from?”
“Hello esteemed judges,” Wei Yuanzhou introduced himself with a smile, it must be said he really had the air of a star. His slight smile was indeed charming. “My name is Wei Yuanzhou, a junior at Zhonghai Music College.”
“Wei Yuanzhou, right?” A judge below smiled and said, “I’ve heard of you, you’re truly a singer with strength. I had been wondering why I had never seen you here before, and today I finally get to. What song do you plan to sing?”
Wei Yuanzhou gave a slight bow and said, “A song, ‘Heavenly Snow,’ dedicated to the three judges and all the audience friends present.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than there was another surge of excitement in the venue, with countless girls shouting, “Wei Yuanzhou, I love you!” “Wei Yuanzhou, come on, you’re the best!” The glow sticks were shaking so hard they nearly broke!
Soon the music started, and Wei Yuanzhou’s performance began!
“Here it comes,” Wang Hao stared at the TV in front and whispered, “Let’s see how well he sings.”
It had to be said, Wei Yuanzhou was indeed quite talented; his voice was loud and clear, his articulation and pronunciation precise—no wonder he dared call himself a strong singer from Zhonghai Music College; he truly had some skills.
His performance was swift, and by the end of it, the entire audience erupted in cheers, with all three judges nodding in approval.
In the end, Wei Yuanzhou scored an impressive ninety-four points!
“You sang very well, quite a standout,” one judge gave a very high evaluation of Wei Yuanzhou’s performance, “One could say there’s hardly anything to pick on, the only slight flaw was that the emotion was a bit weak. I look forward to your future performances, keep it up!”
“Thank you, judges!” Receiving a high score of ninety-four, Wei Yuanzhou was elated, he bowed deeply once more, then walked off the stage.
And then, finally, it was the much-anticipated appearance of Jiang Feng, who had lost sixty-four times in a row!
Would this persistent contestant finally turn things around today?
In an instant, the entire venue fell silent.
You could hear a pin drop.
Jiang Feng slowly walked onto the stage and stood in the center.
Taking a deep breath, his right hand held the microphone while his left hand nervously pinched his trousers.
All the audience could see his nervousness, and from time to time people in the crowd cheered him on—
“Jiang Feng! Come on!” “Keep it up! We’re here to support you!” “Go on, young man!”
Listening to the cheering from the audience, Jiang Feng gradually relaxed.
Music will not abandon me…
Perhaps the judges also felt that this shy boy’s pursuit of music already surpassed their expectations, so they didn’t rush him but patiently waited for his emotions to settle.
About thirty seconds later, when Jiang Feng had calmed down, a judge finally smiled and asked, “Hello, I believe we have met before, but as per the rules, I still have to ask—what is your name? Where are you from?”
“Esteemed judges, I… my name is Jiang Feng,” Jiang Feng stood in the center of the stage, microphone in hand, clearly flustered, and said softly, “I’m from… from Zhonghai City… I’m not a music major, but I… I really like music!”
Watching the live broadcast backstage, Wei Yuanzhou burst out laughing and disdainfully said, “He’s nervous just reporting his name, what kind of musician can he be, garbage—!!!”
“No,” Wang Hao next to him shook his head and softly said, “Maybe you think playing music is cool and casual, but to him, music is everything. Your whole liking for music doesn’t compare to even one of his fingers.”
“Hmph, is that so? We’ll see!” Wei Yuanzhou spat, and shut his mouth.
