After binding the entertainment system, she made countless top stars

Lin Zhihao and Chen Yubai, the two parties involved, are unaware that they have become the stakes in a bet between a boss and his employees.

The former stepped onto the stage fully prepared, as confident and composed as ever.

[A very inspiring song, both the lyrics and the music are very uplifting]

[Lin Zhihao's live performance was surprisingly good!]

His singing seems to have improved again.

……

Judging from the overall positive feedback in the comments section, it's clear that Lin Zhihao's performance was undoubtedly a success.

After a song is sung, it is only natural to proceed with the voting and scoring process.

The specific voting and scoring results will only be released after everyone's performances are over.

But Lin Zhihao remained confident.

They didn't think they were any worse than the previous groups of guests.

However, before turning to leave the stage, he happened to see the small screen displaying the real-time viewership ratings.

In an instant, Lin Zhihao's expression changed.

Pale and sinister, with a hint of anger.

After each singer finishes their performance, they will first go backstage before returning to the guest seating area.

Lin Zhihao is no exception.

He tried to control his expression and headed to the lounge, greeted by his assistant.

"Would you like some water first?" the assistant asked solicitously, handing over a thermos.

Just as Lin Zhihao was about to lose his temper, he saw Chen Yubai walking towards him with two assistants.

The three chatted and laughed, creating a relaxed atmosphere.

Just as Lin Zhihao's assistant was about to greet him, Lin Zhihao gave a light hum:

"The company only assigned you as an assistant. Does that mean they think you can handle all the work, or that they think I'm not even as good as a newcomer?"

The sarcastic tone was practically implying that Chen Yubai had quite a grand entrance.

Chen Yubai paused, but instead of being angry, he greeted him with a smile:

"Senior Lin, congratulations on successfully completing the performance."

This sight only fueled Lin Zhihao's anger even more than before.

“Of course it went smoothly.” Lin Zhihao raised his chin and looked down at Chen Yubai.

No matter how much he was blinded by anger, he wouldn't necessarily have to cause a conflict here.

I hope your performance goes well too.

"As a senior colleague, I feel it's necessary for me to give you a reminder."

"The ratings seem to be dropping after I left the stage... Maybe you can turn things around?"

He was sarcastic and gloating.

His assistant, Sander, felt an urge to rush up and slap him after hearing just a few words.

If it weren't for Xiao Liu stopping him, he might actually have done it.

Fortunately, Lin Zhihao knew that too much of a good thing can be bad.

He said a few words casually, then left, putting on airs of a senior.

"Tsk, what an annoying guy!"

Sander clenched his fist. "Chen, you shouldn't have been so good-natured just now. You should have just rushed up and punched him in the face. Wouldn't that have felt so good?!"

"If you can't do it, then let me do it!"

Chen Yubai was immediately exasperated: "I don't want to cause any news about fighting before I even go on stage! That would ruin the whole show!"

"How could that be? Maybe it won't be affected at all. Many viewers enjoy watching such intense scenes!"

Xiao Liu: "So people from Xizhou like watching Mortal Kombat!"

Chen Yubai: "..."

Sander didn't understand what Xiao Liu meant, but nodded with interest and said:

"That's right. The more intense the conflict between the guests, the more excited they are to watch. I've seen some shows before that specifically arrange such 'plots'."

Chen Yubai coughed lightly: "But 'Voice of the West' is different, Sander, and this time, viewers from other continents are also watching the show."

"They might enjoy watching this kind of plot, but after watching it, they will definitely feel that what we are doing is wrong."

Sander: "It's clearly Lin Zhihao's fault! Oh, that annoying Korean guy!"

“Regional discrimination is wrong too,” Chen Yubai said helplessly. “How should I put it? We value seniority relationships more.”

He spoke as he walked toward the exit, keeping his voice very soft.

Sander quickly followed in his footsteps:

"People in the Korean district seem to value this more, sometimes to an extreme degree? That might be why Lin Zhihao said those things so casually... If you greet him with a smile, he'll think you're easy to bully!"

"It doesn't matter." Chen Yubai turned around and smiled. "We may never have the chance to meet again!"

His tone was so confident.

Sander was taken aback: "Why?"

Chen Yubai didn't even turn his head: "Didn't you hear what he just said? The ratings dropped when he left the stage."

This statement is somewhat ambiguous.

To the average person, the reason for the drop in ratings might be that all the other guests had finished their performances, and the audience had no expectation for Chen Yubai's appearance, so they gradually stopped watching the show.

However, in Chen Yubai's view, that clearly indicated that Lin Zhihao's singing performance was not ideal.

Because Lin Zhihao can't keep an eye on the ratings all the time.

His unpleasant way of speaking could very well be due to his bad mood caused by seeing the declining ratings.

Therefore, Chen Yubai's state of mind was not affected by his few words at all; on the contrary, he became even more ambitious.

Sander stared at his backlit figure, speechless for a moment.

After Chen Yubai stood on the steps at the entrance, he turned around and said to Xiao Liu:

"The rumors online are true. Our boss is a person with excellent judgment."

"I think Chen will definitely become a star, and may even become the most famous singer from the East in the history of Western music!"

Xiao Liu, who wasn't particularly obsequious, asked, "Why are you suddenly so confident? Did Brother Chen just praise you?"

Sander was speechless: "What you people over there said is right, it's like casting pearls before swine, it's wrong!"

Xiao Liu muttered to himself, "This is inexplicable!"

At the same time, Chen Yubai calmly walked onto the stage.

Back-end control room.

Richard watched the ratings fluctuate intently.

He even made a point of keeping the live stream of "West Continent Singer" right under his nose so he could watch it anytime.

Sifas handed him a cup of coffee.

"Sir, it's no use no matter how much you keep an eye on it."

"Changes in viewership ratings take time."

"Besides, Chen is just a new singer, not a succubus! Even if she were a succubus, she would need to be seen before she could activate her skills!"

Before he could finish speaking, Richard suddenly looked at him with a smile, without saying a word.

Sifas's heart skipped a beat: "Your expression... could it be that there's really been a reversal?"

He couldn't believe it and even forgot his usual honorifics.

Richard, in a good mood, stepped aside so his assistant could see the changes in the ratings.

"It actually rose by 0.01%?!"

Normally, this number is so small that it can be ignored.

However, they don't focus on specific numbers, but rather on trends!

Who would have thought that as soon as Chen Yubai stepped onto the stage, before he even started singing or the intro even began, a dramatic turn of events would occur!

"Could he really be a succubus?"

Siphas muttered to himself.

Lin Zhihao, who had returned to the guest seats and was closely monitoring the ratings, almost lost his composure on the spot.

At this point, the stage had become completely silent.
