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

Chapter 62 What have you been doing?
If possible, Shen Ming'en would be willing to stay in Chongqing with Yao Shuli for two and a half years as a practice session. Unfortunately, Emperor Ming'en was a man destined for great things. His eyes were not only filled with affection for his children, but also with the ambition to "study for the rise of China".

After spending three days with Yao Shuli in Chongqing, and seeing that she was much better and no longer looked so weak, Shen Mingen embarked on his journey home.

"I need to lose weight when I get back..." On the plane, Shen Ming'en rubbed his big belly and couldn't help but grimace to himself.

Chongqing is a place full of fat people. After three or four days here, my eight-pack abs are almost completely gone.

Saying he ate so much hot pot is really an exaggeration. Although hot pot is oily, it still involves eating meat and vegetables, so it doesn't make you fat. The main reason Shen Ming'en has gained weight these past few days is because he's been showing off the local noodles too much...

That pea and minced meat noodle soup from MD was absolutely amazing. How come people from Chongqing are so good at making it? How can they make those noodles so fragrant and delicious?

Stop eating those overly chewy noodles from outside and complaining about how "chewy" they are! Go to Chongqing and try some authentic noodles. You'll eat them one after another without making a sound. They're so delicious that you won't let go even if you slap them!

The flight took place in the morning, and it was already noon when it landed in Qingdao. As the most popular male celebrity in the Chinese entertainment industry, Shen Ming'en, carrying a black bag and wearing sunglasses, walked out of the ordinary arrival gate with a dashing air. He was surrounded by a group of people taking pictures and talking to him after only a few steps...

"Oh dear..." Shen Ming'en felt a headache just looking at it, and said, "Watch where you're going, don't walk backwards, don't bump into other people's children!"

One reason he doesn't want to go out is that he's afraid of being stared at. He doesn't even know what his schedule is like, and it could be exposed anytime, anywhere. He used to think that celebrities were being stared at at the airport because they paid for it, but then he realized that there are really people who have nothing better to do than go to the airport to stare at celebrities!
This made Shen Ming'en afraid to even take the elevator. Damn it, if he got into the elevator and was surrounded by a group of people and couldn't close the elevator door, and was blamed by the people around him, he would lose all face!

From the arrival gate to the parking lot, Shen Ming'en ran all the way to finally shake off the crowd of paparazzi and rushed into a black Tesla.

"What kind of crappy car is this..." Shen Ming'en couldn't help but complain to Feng Yucan in the front seat as he got into the car: "Hey bro, can you please drive a different car next time you pick me up? There aren't any good new energy vehicles in China, are there?"

"...No, what's wrong with the car?" Feng Yucan's lips twitched, thinking to himself, "You can't be that right, can you?"
Shen Mingen rolled his eyes silently, thinking to himself, "You don't know what position I'm in now, do you?"
He's criticizing the issue, not the car. His current image is so positive it's almost malicious. As a celebrity, his every move is under constant scrutiny. Believe me, tomorrow someone will say something like... "Oh, he sings patriotic songs all day, pretending to be so patriotic, but he drives a Tesla. Tsk tsk tsk..."

"Hmm... now that you mention it, I realize I didn't think things through." Feng Yucan hesitated for a moment before finally bowing his head, thinking to himself that next time he'd better get a Xiaomi SU7 to drive.

He just didn't tell Shen Mingen, otherwise Shen Mingen would have definitely given him a piece of his mind, calling him a spineless coward for driving a SU7...

Why can't we just use Ultra?!

The two chatted as they walked. It's worth mentioning that Feng Yucan was even more covered up than Shen Mingen; this guy didn't take off his mask until they were about seven or eight kilometers away from the airport...

"You really went to such lengths!" Shen Ming'en's lips twitched.

"There's nothing I can do, bro..." Feng Yucan couldn't help but complain, "Yao Shuli is affected by you, the production team didn't even prepare any rehearsals for her this episode. If I'm not careful, I'll be the next Yao Shuli!"

"Huh?" Shen Ming'en frowned upon hearing this.

"You don't know yet..." Feng Yucan complained to Shen Mingen.

Yesterday, the production team coordinated the schedule with the singers to prepare for tomorrow's rehearsal. Yao Shuli had too much work and wouldn't be back early, so she asked the production team if she could be given the latest possible time...

In previous episodes, it was always the same; Yao Shuli was consistently the busiest among the artists because of her high popularity, so the production team was always extra lenient with her. But this episode, for some reason, they used the excuse that one of the guests, Hua Zichen, was also very busy and needed to arrive late, to refuse Yao Shuli's team's request. They told them that if they couldn't make it in time, they would have to use the backing track themselves, as the band couldn't keep waiting for them…

"...Can't we livestream the rehearsal?" Shen Ming'en thought to himself. Back when everyone was wearing masks, the recording of a certain singer's show next door was even livestreamed.

"It's just deliberately targeting you," Feng Yucan said, scoffing. "The fact that I'm here to pick you up at this time is already pretty good, bro!"

“Yes, you’re quite loyal,” Shen Ming’en rolled his eyes, “but not much.”

"Hey, what are you saying..." Feng Yucan pursed his lips, then changed the subject, asking, "So, what did you do this week?"

He seemed to have seen the paparazzi video of Shen Mingen with Yao Shuli; in the rearview mirror between the driver's and passenger seats, the guy had a sly, mischievous look on his face...

Upon hearing this, Shen Ming'en frantically brushed aside his bangs and exclaimed, "I went to Shigejie Commune to have Hu Delu give me a trendy hairstyle..."

Enjoy your melon! If you push me too far, I'll transform into Runtu and smash a Maserati emblem into your head, then see if you'll still want to enjoy your melon!
Feng Yucan: "..."

"Hahaha……"

Shen Ming'en laughed heartily. At that moment, they were walking on a coastal road. The cross-sea bridge in the distance was particularly magnificent. The weather was finally clearing up today, and the sea view outside the window was always refreshing.

Shen Ming'en stretched and, to be honest, wasn't too worried about Yao Shuli, since he had given her the song she was going to sing, and he knew its quality.

Recalling this incident, Shen Ming'en couldn't help but smile. He truly hadn't expected Yao Shuli to choose this song...

But I have to say, the show's entertainment value will be off the charts, right?

That's definitely enough to feed the entire production team for several meals!
……

In the blink of an eye, it's time for the latest live performance of "Chinese Music Show Center".

Even sitting in the backstage dressing room waiting to go on stage, Shen Ming'en still attracted everyone's attention. It wasn't that he was particularly noticeable, but rather that this kid...

Holding a duck wing in his hand, he slurped it up and down, eating it endlessly.

"...Why do you always get so much food every time?" Luo Luo, the assistant who was squatting down next to Yao Shuli and helping her adjust her skirt, couldn't help but complain.

I remember the episode before he sang "China in the Lights," this guy was eating spicy strips. The last episode before he sang "Ten Thousand Frontiers," he was showing off tangerines. I even suspect that this guy can't sing on stage without eating something.

I really wanted to snatch his snacks away and see his helpless expression, hehehe~
Oops, I'm getting out of character, sorry~
Getting back to the point, what Luo Luo mainly felt was, how come this guy never has any trouble with each episode?
The show's questions were even in Cantonese, did he really think he could get through it without any problems?
