Honkai Impact 3rd: Join Anti-Entropy at the start and dominate the entertainment industry.

Yingmei nodded seriously: "Of course, I know. But to get on that stage, you need to be at least a King or Queen of Singers, or at the very least an S-level singer, right? I'm only a C-level singer and I still need to work harder."

Yu Bing smiled: "Don't worry, with your current strength, being promoted to B-level next year is not a problem. If you continue to follow Teacher Qu Yin closely, becoming A-level within three years is not impossible!"

"Of course!" Yingmei raised her head confidently. "Teacher Quyin is destined to become an S-class composer. As long as I stick close to him, becoming an S-class singer is just around the corner!"

Her confidence wasn't directed at herself, but at Bai Qianqu.

Yu Bing was speechless. Other singers all thought they could become S-level, but this little girl thought she could get to S-level just by clinging to someone else's coattails.

But it actually makes a lot of sense. The condition for becoming an S-class composer is to mentor an S-class singer, which left Yu Bing speechless for a moment.

“You’re not wrong to think that way, but you also need to know that Teacher Qu Yin has several singers around her. For example, there’s that bard from the very beginning, for whom Teacher Qu Yin wrote two songs! And there’s Ms. Fu Shi, who is the best in the world. Her song ‘My Sky’ is not much worse than your ‘Keep Walking in the Rain’. These are all your future competitors.”

Chapter 142 Car Crash Blunder

Upon hearing Yu Bing say that, Ying Mei immediately became nervous.

"Doesn't that mean there are two more people competing with me for your favor?"

"What do you mean by 'competing for favor,' my lady?" Yu Bing said, both amused and exasperated. "Are you treating this like a palace drama?"

"It doesn't matter!" Yingmei waved her little hand. "Anyway, I want to become Teacher Quyin's favorite child, so that I'll have the best chance of becoming an S-level singer!"

Looking at Yingmei, who was full of fighting spirit, Yubing couldn't help but sigh.

Well, that's the general direction, at least the talent Qu Yin has shown is enough to make any singer go crazy for him.

Just then, Yubing's phone rang. She picked it up and her eyes widened in surprise. She quickly and carefully pressed the answer button.

After chatting with the other person on the other end of the phone for a while, Yu Bing hung up the phone and looked at Ying Mei with a complicated expression.

Yingmei was puzzled and a little nervous: "What's wrong? Is it about the Changkong City Spring Festival Gala? Has something gone wrong?"

Yu Bing nodded, then shook her head: "It's about the Changkong City Spring Festival Gala, but it's not exactly a change. The company takes your participation in the local Spring Festival Gala very seriously, so they've decided to have S-level composer Mr. Planck create a new song for you so you can participate in the performance."

Yingmei's expression immediately became complicated.

"Huh? But I've already arranged a song with Teacher Quyin!"

“This is not a good solution.” Yu Bing’s face was also full of complicated feelings. Feeling thirsty, she poured herself and Ying Mei a glass of water, drank it down in one gulp, hesitated for a moment, and continued, “My suggestion is that you apologize to Teacher Qu Yin and then cancel his song.”

"Huh?" Yingmei was stunned. "Won't this upset Teacher Quyin?"

“There was nothing we could do about it. Who would have thought the company would send an S-class composer?” Yu Bing said with a bitter expression. “If it wasn’t an S-class composer, even if it were an A-class composer, I would have made you reject the company’s decision. But that’s Professor Planck, you understand? He’s the company’s top composer, second only to Professor Walter.”

Yingmei obviously knew Planck as well; the reputation of the folk queen was legendary, and everyone knew her.

Normally, if Yingmei knew that Planck was going to write a song for her, she would definitely be so excited that she couldn't sleep.

But now she can't sleep either, not from excitement, but from extreme inner turmoil.

I have absolutely no idea what to do.

Having just formulated the basic strategy of clinging to the music teacher's coattails, I'm now facing the awkward situation of offending him.

It was so torturous.

Seeing Yingmei's miserable expression, Yubing sighed and picked up her phone.

"Well, now that things have come to this, I can only call Sister Bu and ask her to act as a mediator. Teacher Qu Yin shouldn't mind too much."

Soon, Bronya called Bai Qianqu over, who was slacking off.

Bronya had just returned from a meeting when she learned of this huge blunder, which gave her a real headache.

But she had no choice but to call Bai Qianqu over.

"Ahem, Qianqu, I heard you want to write a song for Ying so she can sing it on the Spring Festival Gala?"

“Yes.” Bai Qianqu nodded, unaware of the situation. “I already have some ideas for the song.”

Bronya's heart skipped a beat!

Bai Qianqu's "having some ideas" is not really having any ideas at all. Last time he said he had some clues, but as soon as he turned around, the song was already recorded.

"You haven't already finished writing it, have you?" Bronya asked cautiously.

"No," Bai Qianqu naturally wouldn't admit it.

"That's good." Bronya breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking about it, it made sense. Ying had only told him that morning, how could she have finished writing it by the afternoon?

"Don't worry about the song for the Spring Festival Gala. The company has already decided to let Professor Planck take charge of it."

"Huh?" Bai Qianqu was completely dumbfounded.

You spent a million to customize it, and now you want to throw it away?

Is this what they mean by "I've already taken my pants off, and you're saying, 'Brother Jie, don't want me'"?

Bronya was also embarrassed: "After all, Ying is the champion of the new singer competition. The company attaches great importance to her appearance on the Changkong City Spring Festival Gala. When I went to the meeting just now, the official leaders also spoke to me and told me to take it seriously."

"I just got back and reported on this matter, and the company's upper management decided to put Professor Planck in charge of Ying's new song. I didn't expect an unexpected incident to occur in the middle."

"Plans can't keep up with changes." Bai Qianqu was also very frustrated. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have spent so much money to customize the song.

However, he quickly came to terms with it. After all, the song had already been commissioned, and even if he didn't use it this time, there would be plenty of opportunities to use it in the future, so it wasn't a waste.

Seeing that Bai Qianqu was silent, Bronya thought he was angry and quickly said, "This has nothing to do with Ying. She trusts you, and she didn't know about this beforehand."

"Professor Planck is actually willing to take action?" Bai Qianqu asked with some curiosity. As the company's top S-level composer, Planck usually wouldn't take action. How could Yingmei, a new singer, have alarmed him?

"It's like this." Seeing that Bai Qianqu didn't seem angry, Bronya relaxed a little and patiently explained, "Although the Changkong City Spring Festival Gala is a local gala, it has great significance, especially for each new singer champion. This gala is a symbol of their journey to the world stage. Moreover, our Anti-Entropy hasn't had a new singer champion for several years, so the company has decided to go all out this time to make Ying shine on this gala and let Anti-Entropy make a name for itself."

"I see," Bai Qianqu nodded, understanding.

Bronya is right; any company would treat such a meaningful occasion with utmost care.

Moreover, with only three months until the Spring Festival Gala, how many people besides S-level composers can produce a song that will shock the audience in such a short time?

Entropy also understands this, which is why it sent Planck to keep things in check.

Compared to Planck, even he himself was completely insignificant. Despite everyone's high expectations for him, he was, after all, only a C-level composer.

Even if he achieves brilliant results, people will still only choose S-class in critical moments and will not consider him.

This is frustrating, but it's also understandable.

Bronya advised again, "Chiku, you should also take a break for a while. You've been releasing songs continuously these past few months, which is too strenuous. You need to rest from time to time and balance work and rest. Otherwise, your body won't be able to handle it."

Seeing Bronya's concerned gaze, Bai Qianqu felt a warmth in her heart.

Anyway, he didn't really care. At worst, he could just randomly pick a good month next year and have Ying use this song "Aurora" to overthrow some lucky singers.

Chapter 143 Receptionist Hill!

Seeing Bai Qianqu nod, Bronya finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her gentle smile returned to her face.

"This accident was my mistake at work. As compensation, I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

Upon hearing that she could get a free meal, Bai Qianqu immediately nodded.

"Okay! Where to this time?"

Bronya is clearly a foodie in private, and she knows almost all the good places to eat in Changkong City. Bai Qianqu has also had a great time eating her way through the food the last few times.

To everyone's surprise, Bronya blushed slightly and said somewhat shyly, "It's been so long since I invited you to my home. This is a good opportunity to invite you to try my cooking."

Bai Qianqu's heart suddenly started pounding.

After getting off work, Bai Qianqu waited for Bronya at the door with indescribable feelings, and soon saw the big duck.

But when he saw the two big third wheels behind Bronya, Seele and her sister, he didn't seem so excited anymore.

"Hello, Teacher Bai!" Xi'er (Bai) greeted Bai Qianqu with a smile and a wave.

"Hello," Bai Qianqu said weakly.

"What's wrong, Teacher Bai? Are you tired from work?" Hill (Black) looked Bai Qianqu up and down.

I wasn't tired from work, but I was mentally exhausted. All that excitement for nothing.

Bronya's residence was not far from Bai Qianqu's rented house, only two streets away, but it was a large detached villa.

Looking at the two-story villa in front of her, Bai Qianqu showed an envious expression.

Bronya is clearly quite wealthy to be able to buy such a nice detached villa in Changkong City, where land is incredibly expensive.

"Hehe, Teacher Bai, would you like to move in with us?" Hill (Black) chuckled again from behind, leaning close to Bai Qianqu's ear and saying, "Sister Bronya really wants you to move in~"

"What are you saying, Hill?" Bronya, who was nearby, naturally heard Hill's voice and immediately blushed. "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Are you talking nonsense? Doesn't Bronya want Teacher Bai to move in?" Hill seemed to have made up her mind. "Anyway, Seele and I would love to, right Seele?"

Seele looked at Bronya somewhat bewildered, then nodded.

"Oh, this—" Bai Qianqu was embarrassed. "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? There are three girls here, and it's not really suitable for me, a grown man, to move in?"

“Perfect, why not?” Hill pressed her advantage. “The three of us girls are scared at night living in such a big house, and we need a boy to give us courage. Mr. Bai is the perfect candidate!”

Listening to Hill's words, Bai Qianqu looked at Bronya, wanting to find out what Bronya thought.

Bronya's blush hadn't faded yet. Seeing Bai Qianqu looking at her, she gritted her teeth and forced herself to speak, "Hill is right. Qianqu, why don't you move in? You can have Seele and the others play the pieces you write for you."

Seeing that Bronya also insisted on inviting her, Bai Qianqu hesitated.

Seeing this, Hill quietly gave Bronya a thumbs up.

Bronya, seeing this, also gave a thumbs up.

Little Xi'er, however, still looked bewildered and at a loss, even showing her beady eyes.

Bai Qianqu wasn't unwilling to come over; she was just used to living alone.

"Let's talk about it when my rent expires," Bai Qianqu said, employing a delaying tactic.

“Alright.” Bronya nodded, but Hill looked unwilling, her big eyes darting around as if she were thinking about something.

After everyone entered the house, Bai Qianqu realized that the villa was a duplex, with a long staircase connecting the first and second floors.

“Xier and I usually live upstairs,” Bronya said, gesturing for Bai Qianqu to sit down. “If you move in, the entire first floor is yours.”

"So big?" Bai Qianqu was also surprised. His rented room was only a dozen square meters, and after putting in a bed and a table, there wasn't much space left.

He wasn't used to the cramped feeling, but coming to Bronya's place, where just one floor was at least a hundred square meters, made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"It's okay, it's usually empty anyway." Bronya stood up. "Seele and I are going to cook. You can rest here for a while. The TV remote is on the table, and you can play the game console as you like."

"By the way, Jiuxiao and Xiaotu will be here soon too. They'll be in the same studio from now on, so it'll be a good opportunity for them to get to know each other."
