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

Chapter 78 I've never fought a war like this before.

In the restaurant of Yunhai Resort Hotel, Yao Shuli dismissed the staff less than a minute after Shen Ming'en left. Now that Emperor Ming'en has returned, he can't find a single person. Fortunately, this was within his expectations, so he didn't pay much attention to it...

Shen Ming'en took a jar of milk dragon carcass parts from the refrigerator, pried it open, and brought it to the restaurant. He handed Yao Shuli a spoon and ate while lost in thought.

Yao Shuli secretly licked her lips, picked up a piece of yellow peach with her spoon, and stuffed it into her mouth. Her cheeks were bulging out, making her look exceptionally cute. This foodie only noticed Shen Mingen standing there in a daze after she finished eating, and couldn't help but ask indistinctly:
"What's wrong? Why are you spacing out?"

"No..." Shen Ming'en shook his head, chewing on a piece of the milk dragon's corpse, and asked blankly, "Do you think it's possible for someone to suddenly change their personality like in those transmigration novels, turning from a charming villain into a damn good guy?"

"?" Yao Shuli was slightly taken aback. The canned yellow peach in her mouth no longer tasted good, and she looked at Shen Ming'en with a particularly strange gaze.

“Are you talking about yourself?” she asked.

“…Definitely not!” Shen Ming’en silently rubbed his forehead, unsure of where to begin.

Well, this is a long and tragic story about a child without a mother, so it's better not to talk about it.

To be honest, Shen Ming'en wasn't keen on telling Yao Shuli about some of the messy things that happened between him and his company, because she couldn't help him in any way, and might even get dragged down by him. Sharing his own troubles with others would only make them worry too; they weren't his dumping ground, and Shen Ming'en knew all too well that complaining would never solve anything.

Besides, he wasn't complaining; he was just a little puzzled...

Why did Hajiling suddenly change her mind?
To be honest, Shen Ming'en had thought of everything that Ma Ling's assistant had thought of. He knew there were pitfalls involved, but he couldn't figure out what those pitfalls were.

It just so happens...

Yao Shuli's white bag, which was placed on a chair to the side, started ringing with a message notification. She reached out and took out her phone to look at it. Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she whispered to Shen Ming'en, "The topic for the next issue is out."

"Really?" Shen Ming'en's attention was drawn in. "What topic?"

"Yes Yes……"

Yao Shuli hesitated, feeling somewhat embarrassed to speak...

No, it's not that she's embarrassed to talk about it, it's that she's ashamed to talk about it. Look how red her face is. People who don't know might think she's allergic to the dragon's corpse.

"See for yourself..." She simply handed the phone to Shen Ming'en.

Yao Shuli's phone uses a very fluffy, handmade phone case, light pink in color, which seems quite different from her personality. Perhaps because she carries it close to her body, the phone also has a natural scent of her body fragrance.

With a swift motion, Shen Ming'en pulled out a tissue to wipe his greasy hands, took the phone and glanced at it, his expression immediately turning somewhat strange...

"Ahem..." Hajime blushed, muttering, "These BYD guys on the show are really..."

If the production team knew they were being criticized even after going along with the flow, they'd be absolutely furious and ready to explode.

The large restaurant was quiet, with only Shen Ming'en and Yao Shuli showing off a large jar of milk dragon corpse parts. In the leisurely afternoon, the warm sea breeze stirred the curtains by the window and blew onto the feverish faces of the two who were too embarrassed to look at each other, making their hearts flutter.

"Meow~"

Not far away, the cat kept by the production crew let out a low whimper, sounding like it was suffering from kidney deficiency. Apparently, this cat had been sent for breeding a couple of days ago, and it went there full of energy, but when it came back, it looked utterly hopeless, and its eyes had lost all their light.

Spring has arrived, a season of renewal, and animals are preparing to mate...

...“#The topic for the next episode of 'Chinese Music Awards' is out!”

"#【Emotions, Love, Love Songs】The next episode will feature the Mingli couple showering viewers with sweetness!#"

"#Well done, production team! Now we finally know who the real father is!#"

As a variety show that recently perfectly caught the overwhelming wealth brought by Emperor Ming En, "Chinese Music Center" is now doing well. The topic of the new episode has been released and quickly became a hot topic on social media.

Because of Yao Shuli's performance of "Courage" in the last episode, there have been so many people editing videos of Shen Mingen and Yao Shuli lately, and so many people are shipping them as a couple!
CP (couple pairing) is the easiest way to generate buzz in the entertainment industry. Damn it, which current or ancient idol drama in the Chinese entertainment industry doesn't want to profit from this?
But what the people in the film and television industry never expected was that the popularity they failed to capitalize on actually benefited two singers from a music variety show next door!
While both works use their content to create a romantic pairing, "The Courageous" is far more romantic than those idiotic idol dramas; it's practically a "lower dimension attack"!

There are already many people shipping the couple, and the show is already very popular. The production team is striking while the iron is hot and the next episode will be themed around "emotions, love, and love songs." Don't ask about their zodiac signs; netizens can tell from the order notes that it's tailor-made for Yao Shuli and Shen Mingen!
As a result, the hype only grew stronger!
In the comments section below, netizens also praised the production team in various ways:
[Good, good, good, your production team has finally shown some common sense this time!]

[They made a fortune off of our Haji'en; it's time to give him something in return!]

[9494, I was already going to the Venetian next door because of all those ads, but now that you guys are doing this, I'm going back to the official version!]

[Your production team should come up with even more creative ideas!]

Looking forward to the next episode featuring the Mingli couple's sweet moments!

……

You should know that when the show's producers set the topic of "Hong Kong music and Cantonese" in the last episode, they were heavily criticized by the audience!

They call them heartless. Shen Mingen's popularity has brought them so many advertisements and sponsorships, and so much profit. They even target Shen Mingen because he is a human being.

Some people even maliciously sent negative reviews to Douban (a Chinese social networking site), dropping their rating from a little over 6 points all the way down to 0.5!

In this episode, no one had high expectations for them, but who knew they would have a change of heart!

Finally, it satisfies both conscience and audience tastes!
Therefore, the audience praised them highly, and the popularity of this episode continued to rise with the benefits of the CP!
Occasionally, however, someone might couldn't help but express their concerns: "[Hajime...is he good at love songs?]"

Hajime has always been known for his "red songs," and "red song spokesperson" is the biggest established impression audiences have of him.

He has written love songs before, but they were all just so-so. It was rumored online that he wrote "Courage" which Yao Shuli sang in the last episode, but he denied it, which made many people uneasy.

They're not the only ones who's worried...

Shen Ming'en himself was also a little unsure.

"We've never fought a battle like this before, not even in our eight lifetimes..."

Having always sung patriotic songs, the sudden change to love songs left Shen Ming'en overwhelmed with choices. He didn't know whether to sing "Sunny Day," "Cloudy Day," or "Rainy Day"...

The unexpected improvement in everything made Shen Ming'en subconsciously overlook many potential crises.
