Entertainment: If you asked him to be a star, he'd just want to quit.

"I want to use my own abilities to open this colorful door."

Hearing Li Mingxuan's words, the judges and audience members below the stage all looked incredulous.

His enthusiasm and unwavering belief moved many people.

However, some people secretly mocked him, saying that he didn't know what was good for him. The judges' favor towards him was not a reason for him to be arrogant. They told him to recognize his own limitations and not to be so conceited.

In contrast, although Li Mingxuan didn't know, even if he had heard it, he wouldn't have been too angry. Life is never smooth sailing; everyone will inevitably face criticism and ridicule from others to some extent.

If you take things too seriously, you will not only lose your self-confidence and turn those taunts into real jokes, but you will also completely lose your direction and motivation to move forward.

If he had to respond, Li Mingxuan felt he only wanted to say one thing to those people: Young people should be wild and confident; a youth without arrogance is a wasted youth.

If young people aren't a little arrogant, what's the difference between them and salted fish?

"Well said!" Chu Ci stretched out her right hand and gave Li Mingxuan a thumbs up. She had also gotten a little carried away and was quite angry.

Looking back now, I feel like I've returned to my younger self, with the same confidence.

Seeing that the situation was under control, the host immediately relaxed and gave Li Mingxuan a look of gratitude.

"Xiao Li, I really love this song of yours. It's a classic that could top the charts. If it were in the finals, it would have a chance to win. It's a pity you used it at this time."

Looking at the spirited young man on the stage, Pang Jia couldn't help but sigh, his eyes filled with admiration and regret.

Hearing his words, Chu Ci and Chen Kaige remained silent. They were both veteran singers with decades of experience, and they were naturally very confident in the value of this song, but Li Mingxuan had placed it in the preliminary rounds so early.

According to the competition rules, contestants must sing a different song each round, so this song is destined not to be performed on the "Rising Star" stage.

"Thank you for your feedback, Professor Pang. But how did you know I didn't have any other songs?"

Li Mingxuan nodded to Pang Jia, smiled faintly, and his expression was full of indescribable confidence.

Sure enough, Pang Jia, Chu Ci, Chen Kaige, the other two judges, and the thousands of audience members were all taken aback upon hearing Li Mingxuan's words.

The song "Blue and White Porcelain" has already brought them too many surprises. They all thought that Li Mingxuan had miscalculated and brought out his trump card, and that it would be too difficult to produce a song of this quality again.

Then, Li Mingxuan's words filled them with anticipation for this handsome young man.

"If that's the case, then we're really looking forward to it!"

"Xiao Li, keep it up! I'll always believe in you!" Chu Ci looked intently at Li Mingxuan.

"Thank you, thank you so much, all five teachers!" Li Mingxuan bowed deeply in gratitude.

Knowing that a lot of time had already been wasted and that there were still over a hundred contestants waiting, the host quickly ended the conversation.

Amidst applause, Li Mingxuan left the stage. As he walked offstage, he saw Chang Xuanling waving excitedly at him. He smiled and went over to her.

"Mingxuan is amazing! This song is so good! Ahhh, the judges and the audience are going crazy!"

Seeing Chang Xuanling jump up excitedly, he couldn't help but laugh. He reached out and pressed her head down to calm her down.

"Go out first and then talk."

"Ok!"

off the field.

Li Mingxuan saw that Chang Xuanling had calmed down, but her gaze was still so intense, making him feel uneasy.

"My competition is over, and I don't know when the preliminaries will be. I've decided to go back tomorrow."

Upon hearing Li Mingxuan's words, the girl's enthusiasm was immediately dampened, and a look of disappointment appeared on her face.

"But there's one more thing I haven't done before I leave." Seeing the girl's eyes dim, Li Mingxuan felt a pang of pity and continued.

"Hmm?" Chang Xuanling looked up at him, puzzled.

"What time do you get off work today?"

"Me?" Chang Xuanling held up an index finger, pointing at herself, her little face full of questions.

"Yes, I promised to thank you and treat you to a meal. What about that lunch?"

Upon hearing Li Mingxuan's explanation and seeing the teasing look on his face, the girl immediately realized that he had just been teasing her.

Chang Xuanling rolled her eyes and a smile curved her lips.

I get off work around 6:30.

"So early?" Li Mingxuan knew she worked here, but he didn't expect the staff to leave work so early.

"Um... because we work in shifts." Chang Xuanling subconsciously turned around, not daring to let him see her guilty expression.

"I see. I'll head back now. Let me know when you're done working, and we'll have dinner together."

Li Mingxuan didn't delve too deeply into it. He was someone who didn't want to go to work, so naturally he didn't know what kind of work system a company had.

"Okay, what should we eat tonight?" Chang Xuanling breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Li Mingxuan didn't ask any more questions, and then turned to look at him.

"You decide. I'm not familiar with Shanghai either."

"Okay, no problem, I'll let you know when I've thought it through. Don't worry, Brother Mingxuan, the place I find will definitely be both cheap and delicious!"

Seeing the girl squinting her eyes, with an expression that said "Praise me!", I immediately felt that she was truly a thoughtful little sister.

"I'm so touched. Okay, you should go back now, don't get caught slacking off. Just let me know before you leave work."

Li Mingxuan gently rubbed Chang Xuanling's head. This girl, who was only up to his chest, was really cute.

Having a girl like that would be pretty great.

"Okay, see you later then." Chang Xuanling nodded, took a few steps forward, and then waved to Li Mingxuan behind her.

Li Mingxuan left only after she disappeared from sight.

Return to the hotel.

He lay in bed, feeling much more relaxed. Having resolved one issue, he felt completely at ease.

When one's mind relaxes, one becomes sleepy, and before he knew it, he had drifted off to sleep.

……

Since Li Mingxuan, the competition has continued at a steady pace. Although there have been some good performances, the benchmark performance of Li Mingxuan has made the competition feel somewhat unsatisfactory.

Of course, the trainees and artists sent by entertainment companies also performed very well, much better than the average person.

There are also extraordinary ordinary people.

Among these 400-plus contestants, there must have been some from the general public who sang very well, saving the tired ears of the judges and the audience.

In the summer, the sun sets late, and Li Mingxuan only woke up groggily when the light in the room dimmed.

I grabbed my phone from the side, glanced at it, and suddenly woke up with a start. I quickly put on my shoes and left the hotel.
