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

Kyoto.

Feihuang Entertainment Building.

Liu Hantang was sitting on the sofa with a sexy woman in his arms. One hand was groping the woman's undulating body, arousing her to writhe and utter seductive trembling sounds from her red lips.

Ignoring the woman's alluring behavior, Liu Hantang took a sip of the scarlet wine, then leaned down and covered her red lips with his own.

The woman tilted her head back in response, like a thirsty fish greedily sucking the wine from the man's mouth.

"Chirp~"

The office door was opened from the outside, and a young man walked in.

"dad."

The person who arrived was none other than Liu Yumeng.

"Get out!" Liu Hantang didn't look up, just shouted, and continued to flirt with the woman in his arms.

Liu Yumeng, with a gloomy face, turned and left, closing the door behind him, then knocked on the door.

Disturbed, Liu Hantang lost interest and pushed the woman away, grabbing a handful of her ample breasts before speaking.

"Come in!"

Liu Yumeng walked in with a cold face. The woman knew she couldn't stay any longer, so she could only sway her sexy figure and walk out.

"dad."

"What is it? How many times have I taught you that this is a company? You have to knock before you enter. Is your brain full of shit?" Liu Hantang said with a stern face, pointing his finger at him.

"So what if they're doing some shady stuff in there? What don't I know?" Liu Yumeng muttered to himself, while saying aloud that he understood.

"What do you want from me?"

Liu Yumeng sat on the sofa opposite him and then asked.

"Dad, I've been eliminated. The finals of 'Rising Star' are in two days. Have you thought about how you're going to teach that bastard surnamed Li a lesson?"

"We've already spoken to the organizers. The finals will be broadcast live. We'll campaign for Deng Kaila then. That Li guy is definitely out of the running for the championship."

Hearing that Liu Hantang had already taken care of things, Liu Yumeng's expression finally relaxed. He had been having a terrible time these past few days. Just thinking about Li Mingxuan's face made him furious, and he wished he could immediately return that slap and then make him suffer even more, making him wish he were dead.

Seeing Liu Yumeng's relaxed expression, Liu Hantang became furious. He slapped him across the face, almost causing Liu Yumeng to fall to the ground.

"Look at yourself now, all you do is ruin things. If it weren't for your old man, what right would you have to be so arrogant?"

"All you do is play around with women, and you've never done anything to satisfy me. How could I have given birth to such a useless child like you? Get back home. I'll get you a spot on a variety show in a few days, and you can be a guest star for one episode. Don't let me see you again!"

Liu Yumeng covered the side of his face that had been hit, lowered his head, and left without saying a word, his hatred growing stronger.

……

In Linjiang City, Li Mingxuan received a call from "The Rising Star" informing him of the final competition's time and format. This time, it would be a live broadcast nationwide, instead of the previous pre-recorded format.

Therefore, the voting rules have also changed, and all audience members, both inside and outside the venue, will vote.

Each person has two minutes to vote, and whoever gets the most votes will be the final champion of "Rising Star".

Li Mingxuan felt there was nothing to worry about regarding this approach.

Although this tests the contestants' popularity, it doesn't rely entirely on individuals. The greater the influence of the competition organizers, the more viewers they attract, and the better their songs are, the more votes they will receive.

It can be said that it has both advantages and disadvantages.

He had already recorded the song he was going to sing the day before yesterday, and everything was ready, just waiting for the competition to begin backstage.

Of course, Chang Xuanling also sent a message to Li Mingxuan immediately, along with a text message, asking him to copy and post it on Weibo, which was also to garner votes for her final battle.

After Li Mingxuan posted on Weibo, Chang Xuanling also reposted it on her own Weibo account, and Lin Yue also contacted him and helped him repost the Weibo post as well.

Immediately, many fans left messages of support on Weibo, saying they would watch the live stream and vote for him.

Lin Yue also asked Zhou Chen in a small group chat to post on Weibo to help Li Mingxuan get votes, and the latter immediately replied that he had received it.

Seeing this, Li Mingxuan smiled helplessly. They were all more concerned about this matter than he was.

"Ding"

A notification sounded on WeChat. Li Mingxuan opened it and saw that it was a message from Lin Yue.

Yuese: Have you prepared the song for your competition?

Xuan: It's all ready. It was recorded the day before yesterday, but it hasn't been released yet.

Yuese: Okay, I'll post it after your competition ends. That way, it will also increase your platform traffic.

Xuan: Yes, I understand.

Yuese: By the way, I finalized the studio address with Xiao Hu today. Once the lease is completed, we'll start renovations. Come take a look when you have time and give me some suggestions.

Xuan: I don't know anything about interior design, so what advice can I give you?

Yue Se: Just come when I tell you to. Why make so many excuses? You need an office too, right? And a recording studio, since it's for you to use. How can you not take a look?

Li Mingxuan was momentarily speechless, and could only smile helplessly.

Xuan: Okay, I'll go check it out after my competition. Send me the address.

Yue Se: Okay, you should focus on preparing for the competition first, that's the most important thing. I won't go to the venue to cheer you on, since it's live and I can watch it on my phone anyway.

Xuan: Okay.

Yuese: By the way, Aunt Liu messaged me today saying your birthday is coming soon, is there any gift you want?

Li Mingxuan felt a headache coming on. Did Liu Wenyuan really treat Lin Yue as her daughter-in-law? He had even told her about it.

Xuan: I don't really want anything, and I don't know what I'm missing.

Yue Se: Then I'll do it my way.

Xuan: Okay, I don't think I've celebrated my birthday since I came out, so it doesn't really matter whether I celebrate it or not.

Lin Yue bit her lip. When she thought of Li Mingxuan's identity, a pang of sorrow welled up in her heart.

Yuese: This is your first birthday since joining the studio, so we definitely have to celebrate. Anyway, don't worry about it.

Xuan: Fine, you're the boss, you call the shots.

Yue Se: Go away, go away, you may kneel down and leave. I am here to attend to state affairs.

Xuan: Zha.

Li Mingxuan smiled, then put his phone aside and spent some time familiarizing himself with the song he would be competing in the day after tomorrow.

Lin Yue looked at her phone, her bright eyes flickered, and then she spoke to Hu Jiao beside her.

"Xiao Hu, go and send Li Mingxuan to Shanghai tomorrow. Don't let him take a car. Then you stay in Shanghai for one night and bring him back after the competition."

"Huh? Sister Yue, if I leave, there won't be anyone here, right?" Hu Jiao asked in surprise.

"It's just a matter of handling the rental procedures tomorrow and the day after. I can manage by myself. Just give me the invoice when you get back, and I'll reimburse you," Lin Yue said with a smile, pinching her round little face.

"Ok."
