"Today isn’t good, I came with my girlfriend to participate in the Xuanyuan Singing Talent preliminary auditions." Luo Xuehai was actually quite tempted by Fang Mingqiang’s invitation.
But when he saw Xu Xin sitting next to him, the thought was dismissed.
It wasn’t easy for Luo Xuehai to get together with Xu Xin, and they were still in their honeymoon phase, so he wasn’t too interested in other women.
"You’ve got to be kidding, Xue Hai, you actually have a girlfriend now?" Hearing Luo Xuehai’s words, Fang Mingqiang was taken aback, but quickly he remembered something, "Wait a minute, doesn’t Feiyu Entertainment Media have a spot for judges? Why does your girlfriend still need to go through the preliminaries?"
"Yeah, because the company prepared a few songs for Xin’er, they’re also thinking of making her stand out in the preliminaries." Luo Xuehai had nothing to hide from Fang Mingqiang.
Speaking of which, Luo Xuehai really put a lot of effort into promoting Xu Xin.
He even withdrew the lead songs prepared for two other small stars in order to compete in the Xuanyuan Singing Talent show.
This alone showed how much Xu Xin meant to Luo Xuehai.
"So that’s how it is, I believe in your strength, Xue Hai." Fang Mingqiang laughed heartily, then, his tone turned serious as he said, "Xue Hai, I have a favor to ask of you."
"Come on, we’re brothers, no need for this help nonsense. Your business is my business, just tell me directly what you need me to do!" Luo Xuehai agreed readily since he and Fang Mingqiang had always been on the same wavelength.
"I have an enemy who’s also planning to participate in the Xuanyuan Singing Talent preliminaries. I hope you can help me eliminate him directly!" Fang Mingqiang actually had only known Li Changlin for an hour or so, but because Li Changlin had tarnished his face, and Fang Mingqiang had his designs on Qian Ziwei, he was plotting to severely trip Li Changlin.
"No problem, what’s the guy’s name? I’ll give our company’s judges a heads-up in a bit." Luo Xuehai thought it was going to be some big deal, but all he had to do was eliminate a participant from the Xuanyuan Singing Talent preliminaries, that was a non-issue for him.
Luo Xuehai didn’t care the slightest bit about it.
"Yeah, then I’ll thank you first, Xue Hai." Getting Luo Xuehai’s consent, Fang Minghai’s grin turned sinister. Then, through gritted teeth, he said, "The guy’s name is Li Changlin. His audition time is at three twenty in the afternoon."
"Got it, three twenty, huh? Wait, Li Changlin, did you say his name was Li Changlin, is he the one from Jincheng?" Initially, Luo Xuehai didn’t pay much attention, but when he repeated the name Li Changlin, it sounded familiar.
After pondering, Luo Xuehai suddenly remembered – wasn’t Li Changlin Xu Xin’s ex-boyfriend?
"Right, his name is Li Changlin. He indeed came from Jincheng. Why, Xue Hai, do you know him?" Fang Mingqiang had no idea what was going through Luo Xuehai’s mind, but he could tell that even if Luo Xuehai knew Li Changlin, they probably weren’t friends, given Luo Xuehai’s tone.
Indeed, when Luo Xuehai spoke, his tone was anything but friendly.
"Good, it’s really him, hehe..." Luo Xuehai sneered repeatedly, knowing all too well Li Changlin’s intentions.
He figured Li Changlin was hoping to hit it big by participating in the Xuanyuan Singing Talent and reach the peak of his life.
If Luo Xuehai hadn’t encountered this news or wasn’t aware of it, he might have let it slide.
But now that he knew, of course, he wouldn’t let Li Changlin have his way.
In Luo Xuehai’s mind, he wished Li Changlin would never find success.
After all, Li Changlin was just too pretentiously noble for Luo Xuehai’s liking.
"Xue Hai, Xue Hai!" Hearing Luo Xuehai’s dark laughter, Fang Mingqiang thought something was up and hurriedly called out loud.
"It’s fine, it’s fine, I’m just happy, really happy. Mingqiang, thanks for telling me such important news. Okay, I’ve got it, consider me owing you a favor. I’ll take care of Li Changlin’s matter, don’t worry." Great, initially Fang Mingqiang planned to use Luo Xuehai to give Li Changlin a hard time, but it turned out Luo Xuehai and Li Changlin were at odds too!
After chatting for a bit more, he comfortably ended the call.
"Xue Hai, why did you bring up Li Changlin?" Initially, when Luo Xuehai mentioned the name Li Changlin, Xu Xin beside him became very uneasy.
Now seeing Luo Xuehai hang up the phone, she quickly asked softly.
"Li Changlin is also here for the Xuanyuan Singing Talent preliminaries," replied Luo Xuehai nonchalantly, shrugging and smiling, "With your old classmate’s talent, it won’t be easy for him to get through the preliminaries."
"Oh, I see." Xu Xin didn’t think much of it; after all, she and Li Changlin were now in different worlds, and naturally, she wouldn’t care about him anymore.
"Yeah, it’s getting late, let’s eat quickly and head over." Luo Xuehai was eager to trip up Li Changlin, so he seemed a bit impatient.
"Okay." Oblivious to Luo Xuehai’s thoughts, the two of them quickly ate.
Li Changlin, of course, knew nothing of Fang Mingqiang and Luo Xuehai’s scheming.
After finishing their meal, they drove to the Xuanyuan Singing Talent audition site, only to find that the place was packed with people.
Fortunately, Li Changlin had already got his number, so he didn’t need to queue up again.
His assessment was scheduled for three twenty, and it was already getting late, so Li Changlin queued at audition area three as indicated by his number.
With a large number of participants, the organizers set up ten audition areas.
Li Changlin was lucky; the person Fang Mingqiang arranged did an excellent job, getting him a great spot.
After all, he would still have time to return to Jincheng after the three twenty assessment and even catch his eight o’clock live broadcast.
Qian Ziwei and the others didn’t follow Li Changlin into the audition area; they waited in the parking lot.
Soon, the crowd started to move forward, the people ahead one by one led into the audition areas by the staff. Li Changlin’s assessment time was drawing nearer.
At three fifteen, a staff member called out Li Changlin’s name, so he quickly lifted his number and went forward.
After verifying the number, the staff member led Li Changlin into the audition area.
