68: Chapter 68 Jiang Feng, can I trust you?
But Li Qingwan knew that this was not a kind reminder at all.
This was a mockery, telling her that as long as she admitted defeat,
then everything she had would be replaced by Wang Lin.
From then on, the name Li Qingwan would never appear in the market again.
Instead, the name Wang Lin would receive unprecedented attention for having defeated Li Qingwan.
Under the direct promotion of Tianlai Entertainment, she would become the next Li Qingwan.
This was the reason why Tianlai Entertainment did not force Li Qingwan to stay when she wanted to leave.
Because capital can create a Li Qingwan, it can also destroy a Li Qingwan and create countless others.
In this world, there is never a shortage of talented people.
"Teacher Li, just admit defeat; it's not embarrassing."
"I remember the first time I met you, you gave me a sentence."
"I still remember that sentence even now."
"You said I was very talented, but in this world, there is no shortage of talented people."
"Now, I am returning those exact words to you."
The corners of Wang Lin's mouth curled up as she looked at Li Qingwan.
She knew that when the program aired, it would be edited.
Therefore, she could say whatever she wanted without any scruples.
"Li Qingwan, so your choice is to continue accepting the challenge,"
"or to directly admit defeat?"
The host asked.
For a moment, countless people at the scene fixed their eyes on Li Qingwan.
They were all waiting for Li Qingwan to say those three words.
Of course, at this moment, for Li Qingwan's fans, it was undoubtedly torture.
"Qingwan, don't do it! They are forcing you!"
"You shouldn't have come to participate in this show."
"Sigh, this show is too beastly; I really can't watch this anymore."
"They want to destroy a god of the music industry!"
Countless fans at the scene felt like their hearts were being cut by knives.
But they were powerless.
After all, they were just the audience.
Moreover, most of them were audience members invited by the Program team.
They had taken the Program team's money and signed contracts with them.
So, no matter how angry they were,
they could only watch Li Qingwan being bullied like an incompetent husband.
"I..."
Li Qingwan clenched her teeth.
She knew she had to say the words 'I admit defeat.'
But her pride made it impossible for her to speak them.
After all, she knew that once she said it,
it would be equivalent to compromising with fate.
Compromising with capital.
Even compromising with herself.
"Li Qingwan, admit defeat."
"Without Tianlai Entertainment, you are nothing."
"The stupidest decision you've ever made in your life was leaving Tianlai Entertainment."
Wang Lin looked at Li Qingwan mockingly,
as if lamenting her extremely stupid decision.
But only Li Qingwan knew.
Sooner or later, Wang Lin would regret mocking her.
Once she saw through Tianlai Capital, she would know
how ridiculous she was today.
However, Li Qingwan knew that saying these things now was useless.
So, she took a deep breath,
as if reconciling with herself.
"Forget it, I ad..."
Li Qingwan shook her head,
speaking softly.
At this moment, her entire spirit seemed to dissipate completely.
She finally understood that even if she was a Diva, even if she had the most fans,
she could not fight against capital.
Capital controls the market; they can manipulate everything.
However,
at the critical moment when Li Qingwan was about to say 'I admit defeat,'
Li Qingwan's somewhat cold hand was suddenly held.
Li Qingwan looked down and found it was Jiang Feng.
At this moment, Jiang Feng was looking at her quietly.
"What's wrong?"
At this moment, Li Qingwan's nose felt sour,
and she suddenly had an urge to cry.
That feeling was as if her vulnerability had been discovered.
"Qingwan, didn't you always ask me to help you write a song?"
"The song from that person on stage just now was unpleasant, and the singing was also unpleasant."
"So, I wrote one on the fly. Why don't you sing it and give it a try?"
Jiang Feng spoke in a gentle tone, looking at Li Qingwan.
"Who are you saying sings unpleasantly?"
Wang Lin, on the stage, looked at Jiang Feng with hatred.
This was the first time someone had said her singing was unpleasant.
It would be one thing if it were a professional judge,
but it was a guest who knew nothing.
Regarding Jiang Feng, Wang Lin had certainly looked into him,
but she hadn't thought much of him at all.
Now, being mocked for her singing by someone she looked down on,
Wang Lin's composure completely broke.
"I'm talking about whoever was singing on stage,"
Jiang Feng said, shrugging his shoulders.
Although he and Li Qingwan were only a couple by contract,
bullying Li Qingwan in a public setting
was a complete lack of respect for him.
Jiang Feng certainly wouldn't give Wang Lin any kindness.
"You!!!"
Wang Lin gnashed her teeth,
but she could do nothing to Jiang Feng.
"You said you just wrote a song for me?"
Li Qingwan looked at Jiang Feng in shock.
At this moment, Jiang Feng had somehow gotten hold of a pen and a piece of paper.
On the paper were densely packed lyrics and musical notation.
"That's right."
"I was bored, so I wrote it for fun."
Jiang Feng said indifferently.
"But I haven't practiced this song at all."
"Can I really do it?"
Li Qingwan swallowed her saliva.
Setting aside the lack of accompaniment,
there wasn't even a demo.
Could she really go on stage and perform this song?
"I can go on stage and play the accompaniment for you."
"You just need to follow my beat."
Jiang Feng encouraged her.
"Okay."
Li Qingwan nodded.
She knew this was her only choice.
There was no better option than this.
Even though she didn't even know the name of this song,
or a single line of the lyrics,
she could only choose to trust Jiang Feng.
"Host, I have a new song here that my husband just wrote."
"I want to perform this new song to meet Wang Lin's challenge."
"After all, what she sang just now was also a new song."
After calming her emotions slightly,
Li Qingwan immediately spoke to the host.
"A new song your husband just wrote?"
"But you don't even have an accompaniment."
The host was stunned upon hearing Li Qingwan's words.
What was going on?
Was Li Qingwan crazy, or was she just grasping at straws?
To actually believe what her husband said?
What did he mean by 'bored, just wrote a song'?
Did she really think her husband was some kind of Lyric Saint?
Or some Gold-medal producer?
"It's fine, my husband said he will accompany me."
Li Qingwan said.
In truth, she didn't have much confidence when she said this.
After all, she had never seen Jiang Feng play any musical instrument.
But things had come to this point.
She could only choose to trust Jiang Feng unconditionally.
After all, besides Jiang Feng, who else did she have to believe in?
"So, you mean you're going to perform a song you've never sung before?"
"A song that doesn't even have a recorded sample?"
The host confirmed once more.
