64: Chapter 64 Wang Lin of Tianlai Company, a formidable rival to Li Qingwan.

...

As Wang Lin stepped onto the stage,

the entire audience's gaze focused on a single woman for the first time.

No, to be more precise, it was a girl around eighteen years old.

However, just by standing there, she became the center of attention.

This was because of her looks.

She was clearly only eighteen,

yet she was exceptionally beautiful.

However, this Wang Lin had a cold and aloof temperament.

After taking the stage, her face remained as calm as water, seemingly without any emotional fluctuation.

"My god, it's actually Wang Lin!!!"

"How could she appear on this show?"

"It doesn't make sense; with her status, she shouldn't be on this program."

"She's the champion of three talent shows and is known in the entertainment industry as the strongest new-generation female singer."

"Didn't they say she was already preparing to go on the stage of 'I Am a Singer'?"

"Exactly, why would she appear on such a small music variety show?"

"Could it be because of Li Qingwan?"

"That's hard to say, but if I remember correctly, there's a teacher-student relationship between Li Qingwan and Wang Lin, right?"

"It seems so. Li Qingwan was a judge on a talent show before, and Wang Lin was a student in Li Qingwan's team."

"But I heard that although Wang Lin was in Li Qingwan's team, their relationship hasn't been great since she won the championship."

"It's because after winning, Wang Lin also joined Tianlai Capital."

"I heard that Wang Lin is arrogant and has always wanted to trample Li Qingwan underfoot to become the Top Star of Tianlai Entertainment herself."

The audience members were buzzing with discussion after seeing Wang Lin.

After all, Wang Lin was no small figure; in the entertainment industry, she was considered the most dazzling rookie female singer of recent years.

No one expected her to appear on this stage.

"Who is this Wang Lin? Her popularity seems quite high."

Sitting beside Li Qingwan, Jiang Feng naturally felt the change in her emotions.

He put down the melon seeds in his hand and asked Li Qingwan.

"She is the most talented female singer I have ever seen."

"She is also the singer within Tianlai Entertainment most likely to take my place after I left."

"I didn't expect her to show up here."

Li Qingwan said helplessly.

Although she didn't yet know Wang Lin's purpose for coming to this show,

she could roughly guess some of it.

Perhaps it had something to do with her.

After all, with her status, she could even go to some small variety shows as a judge.

There was absolutely no need for her to come to this show as a mere contestant.

But yet, here she was.

"Wang Lin, welcome."

"I heard that before coming to our show, you were already the champion of three talent shows."

"May I ask, now that you've come to this stage, is there anything you'd like to say?"

Seeing Wang Lin take the stage, the host approached her with a microphone.

After asking the question, the host handed the microphone to Wang Lin.

"I came to this show for two purposes."

"First, of course, is to take the championship."

"After all, I have never liked being second."

"And second, I am here to settle accounts with a traitor on behalf of Tianlai Capital."

"Tianlai nurtured her, yet she betrayed Tianlai."

"I want her to know that without Tianlai, she is nothing."

"Additionally, I will defeat her to prove who the real Top Star of Tianlai Entertainment is."

Wang Lin's voice was not loud and remained calm.

However, her words caused an uproar among the audience.

"Holy crap, it's blowing up!"

"This Wang Lin is pretty badass; she just came out and launched a direct attack to the face."

"If I'm not mistaken, the 'traitor' she's talking about must be Li Qingwan, right?"

"Man, she's so arrogant. Why do I actually kind of like her?"

"True, her kind of arrogance backed by strength doesn't seem that annoying."

"Then Li Qingwan is probably going to have to accept the challenge."

Among the audience, some felt Wang Lin was too wild.

But others felt that being wild requires capital.

This Wang Lin indeed had the capital to be wild.

But what should Li Qingwan do?

At this moment, Li Qingwan's expression was indeed not very good.

To be provoked so directly to her face...

If it were her old self, she would have struck back without hesitation.

After all, although Wang Lin was a talented and capable singer,

she was still a bit lacking compared to her.

But now, she had no more songs to sing.

She couldn't just sing 'bubble' all over again.

Otherwise, she would have to negotiate with the Program team to cover some songs.

While such a tactic might work for minor singers,

where Li Qingwan could completely crush them with her vocal prowess and technique,

against Wang Lin, this move didn't seem like it would work so well.

As a three-time talent show champion, Wang Lin definitely had both talent and strength.

If it wasn't a song she excelled at, Li Qingwan didn't have a guaranteed chance of winning.

Therefore, Li Qingwan's expression was very grim.

She could see it now; this Program team was clearly targeting her.

Just as she finished singing 'bubble', they brought in such a contestant specifically aimed at her.

"Teacher Li Qingwan, if I remember correctly, your previous company was Tianlai, right?"

"So, what are your thoughts on Wang Lin's statement?"

The Program team certainly knew how to chase engagement.

After Wang Lin finished speaking,

the camera focused directly on Li Qingwan.

Moreover, the host began to question Li Qingwan.

Clearly, they wanted everyone to focus on this battle for the title of Tianlai's Top Star.

"I don't have many thoughts."

"I only know that if her imaginary enemy is me,"

"then she will lose very miserably."

Li Qingwan said coldly.

Even though at this moment, she didn't have any confidence in her heart,

since someone else had talked tough,

she certainly wouldn't back down.

"OK, it seems our program today is quite full of the smell of gunpowder."

The host said with great satisfaction after hearing Li Qingwan's response.

And upon hearing Li Qingwan's reply,

Wang Lin gave Li Qingwan a provocative look.

Then, a trace of a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

The meaning of this expression was self-evident.

As Li Qingwan's former student and fellow company artist,

she could naturally see through it.

Li Qingwan was absolutely bluffing.

She no longer had any trump cards left.

Her purpose in coming to this show was to ruthlessly crush her.

And to climb up by stepping on her!

The entertainment industry was like this; resources are limited, and traffic is limited.

If a newcomer wants to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, they have to be ruthless and step over the corpses of the veterans.
