58: Chapter 58 Li Qingwan got roasted by a newcomer? That's infuriating!

"Which company are those two judges from?"

Jiang Feng whispered his inquiry to Li Qingwan.

"Those two? They're from Tianxuan Entertainment."

Li Qingwan answered.

"Oh, I see."

Jiang Feng nodded.

This matched the information he had seen on the USB drive.

In the contents of that USB drive,

these two female artists, in order to obtain resources,

had voluntarily become sacrifices for Tianxuan Entertainment.

Trading their bodies for resources.

However, even though he held leverage over these two artists,

Jiang Feng had no intention of exposing them.

After all, he couldn't let anyone know that the USB drive was in his hands.

"Alright, the show should be starting soon."

Li Qingwan noticed the stage lights changing

and gave him a reminder.

Jiang Feng followed her gaze toward the stage.

Sure enough, the stage lights slowly brightened.

A young and beautiful host slowly walked onto the stage.

Then, the young and beautiful host began explaining the rules of the show on stage.

The rules for this show were roughly similar to other music variety programs.

Many rookie singers had been invited to perform.

After these rookie singers performed, the panel of guest commentators would first give their evaluations.

Then, a few celebrity judges would vote to decide whether these rookie singers could advance.

However, there was one rule among them that was quite interesting.

That was, if a rookie singer was confirmed to be eliminated, they still had one chance to challenge a guest commentator.

If the rookie singer could defeat the guest commentator, they would have a chance to advance directly.

Of course, the guest commentators also had the right to refuse the challenge.

Upon hearing this rule,

both Jiang Feng and Li Qingwan

sensed that something was wrong.

Why did this feel like a trap?

In typical music shows, it was a battle between contestants.

Where would there be a segment for a contestant to directly challenge a guest?

However, the two didn't say anything.

After all, it was their show; they could set whatever rules they wanted.

Even though they felt something was off, they could only wait and see for now.

Soon,

after the opening performance,

the show finally officially began.

First, the first one to take the stage was a female singer.

The female singer sang a lyrical type of song.

Her performance was actually quite commendable.

So, after the female singer finished singing,

Li Qingwan and the other guest commentators gave her decent reviews.

"The voice is fine, but it would be better if you could inject more emotion while singing."

"The vocal technique is good."

Li Qingwan critiqued.

But no one expected what happened next.

When the other guests were critiquing the female singer,

she would nod, maintaining a very humble appearance.

But when it was Li Qingwan's turn to critique,

the female singer directly showed a defiant expression.

"Teacher Li, I feel like I cannot accept this evaluation of yours."

"I feel that my performance of that song just now was very good."

"You say I sing without emotion, but I feel that I sing with more emotion than you do."

The female singer said bluntly.

Countless people at the scene were stunned.

Everyone had seen plenty of guests and judges critiquing contestants.

But a contestant actually daring to talk back to a guest was truly a first for them.

"Damn, what does this female singer mean?"

"A guest gives you a couple of pointers, you should just accept it. How dare she talk back?"

"I originally thought this show wouldn't have much to watch, but isn't the drama coming right now?"

"It's only because Li Qingwan isn't at Tianlai Entertainment anymore. If she were, would this female singer dare to speak to Li Qingwan like that?"

"This really is a case of a tiger in the plains being bullied by dogs."

Seeing this scene, the audience members couldn't help but comment one after another.

"You think there's a problem with what I said?"

Li Qingwan said with a frown.

This was also the first time she had seen a contestant dare to directly lash out at a guest.

However, her professionalism kept her from getting angry immediately.

Instead, she looked at the female contestant very rationally.

She seemed to have guessed it.

This was either a script arranged by the Program team,

or she was sent by another company specifically to spite her.

Therefore, she couldn't get angry.

"If it were the Teacher Li of the past evaluating me like this,"

"I would certainly think there's no problem."

"After all, Teacher Li, you are the Diva of our entertainment industry."

"But now, you've already fallen from grace."

"What right do you have to evaluate me? At least I have representative works."

"But what about you? Besides the song 'bubble', what other works do you have?"

The female singer looked at Li Qingwan playfully.

The corners of her mouth couldn't stop curling upward.

"Contestant, please mind your attitude."

"You are a contestant here to compete; do not stir up trouble."

Even the host of the Program team couldn't stand it anymore

and spoke up from the side.

"Host, I'm sorry, I just accidentally spoke my mind."

The female singer quickly apologized.

Then, the female singer gave Li Qingwan a triumphant look.

Afterward, she went to receive the critiques from the judges.

"You sang well."

"I think it was very emotional. Just now, a certain guest said you sang without emotion."

"That was purely talking nonsense."

"Pretending to know when they don't."

"I'll give you a vote to advance, alright?"

The female judge named Wan Tingxiu said to the female singer with a smile.

"Thank you, Teacher Wan."

"As expected, our judges are more professional."

"Unlike some guests who are simply giving critiques at random."

The female contestant also said.

This scene

directly infuriated the countless fans of Li Qingwan at the scene.

"Holy crap, what are they being so sarcastic about?"

"My blood pressure is rising just watching this."

"Where on earth did the Program team find this group of female singers?"

"I've never even heard of them before, yet they dare to be so sarcastic towards Li Qingwan."

"No, no, I'm really going to cough up blood from watching this. What right do they have!"

"Even if Li Qingwan has fallen on hard times, she's not someone they can compare themselves to, right?"

"I see it now. This show is a typical case of exploiting Li Qingwan, trying to gain traffic by using her."

"Exactly, the Program team isn't even trying to control it. Obviously, the Program team knows that doing this brings the most traffic."

"Damn, does that mean our Li Qingwan just has to suffer this? She has to be exploited by these idiots?"

Countless viewers felt miserable watching this and began to complain one after another.

Some even started cursing.

However, just when everyone thought that these maneuvers targeting Li Qingwan would end there,

something even more outrageous happened.

This female contestant received votes to advance from all four judges.

"Let us congratulate contestant Tan Zhu for advancing."

The host announced.

"Host, I want to give up my advancement."

The female contestant Tan Zhu suddenly said.

"What?"

The host was stunned.
