After offending capital, my songs became more and more popular.

Chapter 136 Obedience Test: Telling Everyone He Meets! The Entire Internet Is Shocked!
An incense burner was placed on the altar, and a large portrait of the Rain God surnamed Xiao was pasted on the wall. Early in the morning, Feng Yucan held two cigarettes and prayed, muttering:

"Brother Xiao, please come and hold a concert! Please, please come and hold a concert soon!"

Northern China is generally experiencing drought. According to Feng Yucan, it hasn't rained in Beijing for almost two or three months since the Qingming Festival. This is why people don't feel dryness in summer because their skin is oily, but the strong ultraviolet rays are so intense that no one wants to go outside.

"Tsk..."

Shen Ming'en was speechless at the sight of his brother's outburst, secretly lamenting God's "differential treatment." He couldn't understand why the South was flooded like a raging inferno during the rainy season, with the air in Chongqing filled with a humid and hot atmosphere perfect for formaldehyde release. But in the North, it barely rained a dozen or twenty times a year...

"Don't ask for too much," Shen Ming'en advised. "Otherwise, you'd be an idiot if a huge hailstorm hit you in the middle of summer."

"Pfft..." Feng Yucan couldn't help but burst out laughing, saying, "How could that be!"

Shen Ming'en ignored him, silently changed into a stylish casual outfit, and fixed his hair...

"Where are you going today?" Feng Yucan asked curiously.

The rehearsal for the opening ceremony didn't seem to be time yet, and he was actually quite curious as to why Shen Ming'en had come to Beijing so early.

“I’m going around telling everyone that I’m here to participate in Olympic-related activities, and that I wrote all the Olympic theme songs…” Shen Ming’en laughed.

Feng Yucan: "(￢_￢) Aim"

Having once thought that he was crazy enough to have become a disciple of Brother Xiao and Shang Huazi, Feng Yucan realized that he was still far inferior to Shen Ming'en...

After all, this is a crazy tycoon who has all the top celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry endorsing agricultural products!
“I said, there’s no need for us to brag so much, brother,” Feng Yucan said. “You can brag to me and that’s fine, I won’t take it to heart with our relationship. But if other people hear you say that, they’ll definitely say you’re bragging, and that won’t be good for your reputation.”

Even now, Feng Yucan still thinks Shen Mingen is bragging...

"Ha ha……"

Shen Ming'en chuckled, offered no explanation, and continued to style his hair in a flamboyant manner while looking in the mirror.

Perhaps because he handed over all the copyrights, Shen Mingen did not sign a confidentiality agreement. This means that Shen Mingen can tell anyone that he composed all three Olympic theme songs. As long as he doesn't reveal the specific songs or leak the lyrics and music in advance, no one will cause him any trouble.

However, due to the extremely strict official secrecy, and because it's no secret in the industry that Shen Ming'en offended Zhou Chujian and couldn't participate in any Olympic-related activities, most people would probably agree with Feng Yucan and not believe what he said.

And then the interesting thing happens...

Shen Mingen could take this opportunity to do a "compliance test" in the Chinese entertainment industry, just like Teacher Huang!
He tells everyone he meets that he composed the three theme songs for the Olympics, and he talks about it to everyone he meets...

Most people probably don't believe it, and some even think Shen Ming'en is bragging...

So when Shen Ming'en makes his appearance on the day of the official performance...

A collective slap in the face!

Oh, just thinking about it makes me happy, hahaha...

"I'm not going to waste my breath on you. How can a sparrow know the ambitions of a swan!" Shen Ming'en threw down these words and slung his shoulder bag over his shoulder and swaggered out the door.

The taxi ride took them to the airport in Beijing. Shen Ming'en always wrapped up tightly when he came to the airport, especially the capital's airport. To be honest, it was really uncomfortable to be wrapped up so tightly in the middle of summer. But who could blame him when Shen Ming'en was recognized? It would easily cause traffic jams.

There's no way out, absolutely no way out!
Yao Shuli's team landed in Beijing around 11 a.m. The fans who surrounded them at the airport exit were incredibly numerous, and the airport staff had to send over several security guards to protect her safety.

It's worth mentioning that Yao Shuli was wearing a dark blue traditional Chinese-style dress today, embroidered with some very distinctive ethnic patterns. The dress was so form-fitting from the waist to the chest that it made people drool.

"Ali!"

"Please sign your name!"

"Ahhh, I love you, Ah Li!"

The fans watching were incredibly enthusiastic; if it weren't for the security guards protecting her, Yao Shuli might have been eaten alive by them.

"No, I... um..."

Shen Mingen had been fantasizing about a romantic way to pick up Yao Shuli, imagining giving her a big hug or waiting for her to embrace him. But he never expected this...

Your mom was so crowded she couldn't even see herself!

"Fight……"

With his shoulder bag slung over his back, Shen Ming'en gritted his teeth and charged headfirst into the crowd!
"what!"

"Who!"

"are you crazy!"

"Why are you pushing!"

"Ahhh!"

Occasionally, a few grumbles would erupt from the crowd, and the commotion attracted the attention of Yao Shuli and the security guard beside her. But before the security guard could even take any precautions, a figure swiftly rushed through the throng, grabbed Yao Shuli's arm, and shouted in a high-pitched voice:

"Ah Li, Ah Li! I'm your fan! I want to have your babies!"

The sudden turn of events startled everyone, including Yao Shuli. The team members and security guards practically scrambled to help, and in just a few breaths, Hajiin was lifted up!
"You're sick!"

"What a lunatic!"

"Really...Ah Li was scared, wasn't she?"

A group of fans started verbally attacking him...

The situation on the scene became extremely tense.

Shen Ming'en initially only intended to be silly and didn't really mean to scare anyone, but seeing that things were about to get out of control and he was about to be thrown out, he hurriedly struggled to remove his mask and shouted:

"It's me, it's me, hey, it's me..."

Shen Ming'en's appearance was quite distinctive. The moment he took off his mask, some of the onlookers recognized him, and Yao Shuli was no exception. But just as Yao Shuli was about to subconsciously try to stop him...

"It doesn't matter who you are!"

The security guard was shouting:

"You need to be rational when you're a fan, young man!!"

As they spoke, the two pretended to "fork" Shen Ming'en out.

"No, brother, we know each other, we really do know each other!" Shen Ming'en pointed to himself and Yao Shuli: "We're friends!"

"Yes, yes, you are friends, you know each other..." the older brother replied with great experience: "Everyone here is her friend, everyone knows her."

"I..." Shen Ming'en was speechless for a moment.

"puff……"

"Hahahahaha..."

This conversation immediately caused a burst of laughter from the audience.

In the end, it was only thanks to the intervention of fans and Yao Shuli that Shen Mingen was spared. Otherwise, he might have really been taken away by the airport security guards for disturbing public order.

"Oops~"

After Shen Mingen was released, many fans who had come to their senses started to jeer, saying:

"Shen Ming'en, what brings you here?"

"Could they have come specifically to pick up our Ah Li?"

"What's your relationship with her that you came all this way to pick her up?"

“*&%￥#@…”

The scene was filled with various noises and comments, with many people displaying expressions of "watching the drama unfold" and "enjoying the sweet moments." Shen Ming'en made no attempt to hide this, stating frankly:
"I'm here to participate in the event, and I just happened to come here too."

"What event are you here for?" some fans asked curiously.

This fan asked casually, never expecting Shen Mingen to actually give a direct answer, since it's not appropriate for an artist to casually reveal their whereabouts to fans.

To the fan's utter bewilderment, Shen Mingen looked surprised upon hearing this and retorted, "How did you know I was here for the Olympics?"

That fan: "???"

Who the hell asked if you were here for an Olympic-related event?!

What are you pretending for, Hajime?!
Although this fan had countless complaints she wanted to vent, the rest of the people present didn't care at all. The moment they heard that Shen Ming'en was in Beijing for an Olympic-related event…

"Oh!!!"

"Zun Du is fake?!"

"Aren't you excluded from any Olympic-related activities?"

"Look up at the sky, you've blown your own horn so far it's practically reached outer space, do you believe it?!"

"Shen Ming'en, where did you go? Where did you go? Oh, so you were just pretending!"

……

Although many people were criticizing Shen Mingen, they also joined in the commotion, and some fans even showed expressions of "expectation".

They believe that celebrities are very conscious of their public image and would never make baseless accusations regarding their appearances, especially with official sources like the Olympics, which is such a significant event…

But then again, Shen Ming'en's name wasn't on the official list of artists for the performance...

Many people are puzzled, many are confused, and the number of people who believe it is roughly equal to half.

"that……"

The fan who had just been fooled by Shen Mingen was about to ask another question, but before she could even open her mouth, Shen Mingen said to her again:
How do you know I wrote all three Olympic theme songs?

That fan: "???"

That fan was completely dumbfounded!

Ber……

When the hell did I ask that?!

What are you doing, Hagi?!
This time, not only the fan, but all the onlookers widened their eyes and gasped!
"Brother, are you kidding me?!"

"Are you sure you're telling the truth, and not lying to me?!" "What the heck... Zun Du is fake!"

……

The entire scene erupted into chaos again because of Shen Ming'en's words.

It could be said that Shen Ming'en's words were like a drop of water being poured into a pot of oil, instantly causing the entire pot to boil.

"Kacha! Kacha!"

It's worth mentioning that, because this is a celebrity airport arrival event, there are always paparazzi, paparazzi, and proxy photographers, etc., and netizens at the scene are also taking photos and videos with their phones.

Originally, even without Shen Mingen, just with Yao Shuli present, they were already taking all sorts of photos and videos, afraid of missing anything. But with Shen Mingen's arrival, everyone knew this would definitely trend on social media, so they all started filming with their phones.

When Shen Mingen announced that he would be participating in Olympic-related activities, and that he had written all three theme songs himself...

The paparazzi, photographers, and proxy photographers were absolutely thrilled!
The clicking and recording sounds were almost louder than the cheers of the crowd!
Big news!
Everyone knows how bombshell this news is!

This leads to...

When it became a trending topic afterward, there were all sorts of videos related to the scene online!
#Shen Ming'en picks up Yao Shuli at Beijing Airport!#

"#Is my favorite couple finally going to become a reality?#"

"#Shen Ming'en said he came to Beijing to participate in Olympic-related activities!#"

"#Shen Ming'en says he wrote all three Olympic theme songs!#"

"#Shen Ming'en: The First Punch to Shock Chang'an!"

As the recently popular "Mingli CP" and two top-tier celebrities, Shen Mingen and Yao Shuli attract countless attention wherever they go. Moreover, Shen Mingen caused such a commotion at the airport that he almost had to be kicked out by security, so it's only natural that this incident became a trending topic...

The comments section is full of discussions about whether the two are really dating. Some say that Yao Shuli's gaze towards him is inappropriate, while others say that their behavior is too intimate and it's time to go public...

But compared to those who ship the couple, more people are discussing the two sentences Shen Mingen said to his fans at the airport.

How did you know I came to Beijing to participate in Olympic-related activities?

How do you know I wrote all three Olympic theme songs?

Two major news items immediately stirred up a huge wave of discussion online:
[Is Shen Ming'en really involved in Olympic-related activities? Is it true?]

[...That can't be real, he wasn't even on the list of performers released by the Olympics.]

Why did he say that he wrote all three Olympic theme songs?

[...That's utter nonsense. In such a formal event as the Olympics, who could possibly sing all three theme songs by themselves?]

[Sparrow food, I think Shen Ming'en's tone in the video sounded like he was joking.]

[It feels like he's just making a joke, given the amount of online discussion about him and the Olympics lately.]

Could my brother be indirectly making a statement to the Olympic organizing committee?

Hahaha...that's a bit too much!

……

Things went exactly as Shen Ming'en had predicted. Even though he clearly stated that he came to Beijing to participate in Olympic-related activities, and that he wrote all three Olympic theme songs, ...

No! Not! One! Person! Believes!

It wasn't just netizens who didn't believe it; everyone who paid attention to Shen Ming'en didn't believe it either.

In Shanghai, at Ruixing Entertainment, Lin Bei, who had been feeling uneasy about Shen Ming'en going to Beijing, immediately called Hajiling after seeing the trending topic to inquire about the matter.

"Haha, Mr. Lin, you don't actually believe what he said, do you?"

After hearing about this, Ma Ling couldn't stop laughing and said:
"This is obviously just a way to ride the wave of popularity. I've watched the video, and he was just joking around."

"...Are you sure it's a joke?" Lin Bei frowned.

“Of course.” Hajiling nodded, then laughed, “This is what happens when you don’t have a management team. He has no idea what kind of consequences his ordinary act of trying to ride the wave of popularity will have…”

There is a lot of discussion online about what Shen Mingen meant by what he said at the airport. First of all, almost everyone thinks that Shen Mingen was joking. Secondly, many people think that Shen Mingen was being sarcastic and implying something about the Olympic Organizing Committee.

Yin Yang doesn't need him, Yin Yang doesn't ask him to write the theme song...

If his behavior escalates, it will truly be tantamount to "courting death."

The Olympic Organizing Committee—those are the people on the official side!
In the Chinese entertainment industry, actors can't afford to mess with anyone, especially not the official authorities. Otherwise, they could easily get banned with just a few words...

You say you're "famous"?
A single drop of sweat from someone else is "redder" than your blood; why are you trying to compare "redness" with them?
You're kidding me!
They were already worried about how to suppress Shen Ming'en, but now Shen Ming'en has dug his own grave and jumped in, saving them the trouble.

If you ask Ma Ling, how can this not be a wonderful thing?

"..."

Lin Bei didn't speak on the other end of the phone. For some reason, he had a feeling of unease.

Lin Bei is actually a fairly composed person. President Qin often says he's a jinx and overly anxious, but sometimes it's true that being prepared is the best policy...

Seeing that the president had not replied for a long time, Ma Ling thought for a moment and simply said:
"President Lin, how about this? Anyway, there are some people from our company at the recording and rehearsal these days. If you're really worried, I'll have them keep an eye on things. If Shen Ming'en goes there, they'll definitely know immediately."

"Hmm..." Lin Bei's brows relaxed a bit upon hearing this, and he nodded, saying, "It's always good to keep an eye on him."

"I hope this kid is really just bragging..." Mr. Lin thought.

……

A gentleman keeps his word, and this is a principle that Shen Ming'en has always adhered to and upheld. For their first meal after arriving in Beijing, Shen Ming'en dragged Yao Shuli straight to a roast duck restaurant that they had booked in advance...

In the private room, the chef was slicing roast duck in front of the guests. This Beijing roast duck tastes really different from other places. The skin is crispy and the duck meat is tender. Wrap the duck meat in a lotus leaf pancake with sauce, sugar, scallions, cucumber and duck meat. One bite is incredibly delicious.

To be honest, Shen Mingen felt sorry for Yao Shuli. After lunch, she didn't even have time to take a nap before rushing off to a nearby event. She didn't know what time she would get back that night and kept telling Shen Mingen not to wait for her...

Shen Mingen was incredibly cheeky, retorting, "Am I going to be all alone in my room?"

Yao Shuli was both embarrassed and amused...

Shen Ming'en, who wasn't too busy these past few days, was quite relaxed, so he simply went with Yao Shuli to attend an event. It seemed to be a large-scale event hosted by a brand, which had invited many big-name celebrities in the industry...

Shen Ming'en did not receive an invitation, so he shouldn't be qualified to enter and participate in the event, but...

You don't even know who Hakim is!
Shen Ming'en is currently enjoying immense popularity in the Chinese entertainment industry. It's not that the brand didn't want to invite him; rather, their invitation was rejected by Shen Ming'en's company.

Now that Shen Mingen has taken the initiative to come and have fun, they are overjoyed. At the party, they arranged for Shen Mingen to sit in the first row, which is an extremely high level of treatment.

In fact, this is the treatment Shen Mingen should receive when he goes out for commercial performances and announcements. It's all because of those greedy capitalists who keep making things disgusting. Otherwise, Shen Mingen would have been a "senior" long ago.

It's worth mentioning that many industry colleagues came over to say hello on the day of the event, and some even wanted to get to know Shen Ming'en through Yao Shuli...

They were both the kind of people who knew how to get along with others, and during their conversation, they would occasionally mention the trending topic about Shen Ming'en from earlier that day...

Everyone thought Shen Mingen was joking, so they treated it as a lighthearted conversation. What they didn't expect was that Shen Mingen would tell everyone he met:

"I really came here to participate in the Olympic activities!"

"I really wrote all three Olympic theme songs!"

After a brief moment of surprise, the group waved their hands in unison, laughed, and said, "Teacher Ming'en is so funny..."

The scene was incredibly humorous.

“…Load the cargo!” Yao Shuli’s assistant, Luo Luo, already disliked Shen Mingen, and seeing him act so pretentious only made her angrier. Why was he bragging about something that hadn’t happened?

Don't celebrities need to be careful with their words and actions?
It's fine to ride the wave of popularity, but it would be bad if you tried to provoke the Olympic organizing committee and angered them.

"Sister Li, what do you like to store here?" Luo Luo asked what she thought was a "soul-searching question."

Upon hearing this, Yao Shuli simply smiled and remained silent.

Everyone else thought Shen Ming'en was faking it, but perhaps only Yao Shuli knew what he really meant...

That's all the truth!

It's worth mentioning that many celebrities from Beijing's entertainment circle were at tonight's party, including Zhou Chujian. He watched from afar as Shen Mingen boasted to everyone he met. At first, he laughed at him, but later, like Lin Bei, he felt that this kid was a bit... too high-profile.

Shen Mingen's high-profile behavior gives people a sense of "being fearless," which makes people very uneasy.

"Go keep an eye on things at the Temple of Heaven during tomorrow's rehearsal and see who the guest singer for the solo performance is..." Zhou Chujian whispered to Liu Wei beside him.

"Okay." Liu Wei nodded.

They had the same idea as Lin Bei; they all wanted to go and find out the truth.

At the party, Shen Ming'en continued to make high-profile pronouncements...

The opera singer, dressed in a silver-white strapless evening gown, held a transparent glass and smiled as she watched Shen Ming'en frantically trying to convince others that she had actually written three theme songs for the Olympics. She couldn't help but purse her lips and mutter softly:
"Bad guy."

She knows exactly what Shen Mingen is up to!

only……

I feel that some things can't be kept secret forever. He's so reckless now, if he were to be exposed prematurely, things could easily go wrong.

The moment his brows furrowed slightly, his assistant, Nan Nan, suddenly came running over from a distance.

Nan Nan was holding Yao Shuli's phone, which was ringing incessantly. She handed the phone to Yao Shuli and said:

"Uncle's on the phone."

The caller was Yao Shuli's father.

When Yao Shuli saw the caller's name, she was slightly taken aback...

Since it was her father who called first, it's understandable that she would mention it casually, right?
