Chapter 492: Chapter 357: Increased in Value

In the final competition, Yi Junxi must win!

He has a reason he cannot lose!

Firstly, there’s the old and new grudges with Wu Mu; watching Wu Mu, who always tramples on his face, win would make him feel as uncomfortable as having ants crawling over him.

Then there’s the realistic consideration of the South Korean market; before taking this program, he never imagined it could affect his popularity at all. It’s just a Hua Country variety show that no one outside would watch, so what if he lost?

But with Wu Mu entering the South Korean market, everything has changed... If he loses, Wu Mu would truly climb over him to gain status. In the future, whenever people mention him and Wu Mu, this program will definitely be an inevitable topic.

Lastly, there is his pride and passion for music.

As a member of a K-pop group that has been popular for over a decade, having talent alone is not enough; an adequate love for and immersion in music is the most basic condition.

He doesn’t accept that his music could be weaker than others’, nor does he believe he would lose every time to a Hua Country idol singer ten years younger than him.

He must win once!

Yi Junxi tightly grips his fist, his faith unwavering.

Of course, faith alone obviously won’t win him the competition.

To be honest, sometimes he feels lost, unsure of how to beat Wu Mu.

Previously, he tried many times, thinking of using his classic songs to compete in quality and popularity to win, trying explosive performances using stage effects, and using unique singing techniques, silent chanting and novelty to win.

But until now, he hasn’t won even once.

Every time he loses under Wu Mu’s somewhat unreasonable "infectiousness".

No matter how good his performance is, the audience caught up in Wu Mu’s emotions will choose him in the end.

However, after experimenting for so long, he’s not without gain; he has an idea... since other methods don’t work, why not directly compete with Wu Mu on infectiousness?

How about he sings a song strong in infectiousness that moves people emotionally?

...

The day after receiving the phone call, Wu Mu arrived at the program recording venue early in the morning.

But it seemed he still wasn’t early enough, as everyone else had arrived before him.

Even Lu Yao, who recently seemed to have been traveling wherever the wind took her, had arrived, and came over with an air of mystery, "Little Wu, little Wu, guess who I saw?"

Wu Mu looked at her, appearing thoughtful, didn’t guess, and instead suddenly asked, "By the way, Yaoyao, I’ve never asked, what does your family do?"

"Ah?"

Lu Yao was clearly stunned, her expression puzzled, "My dad’s a university professor, my mom’s a company manager, what’s up?"

University professor?

Company manager?

Wu Mu looked at her doubtfully, finding it hard to believe. Not even mentioning these identities are exceedingly ordinary, how could her dad, a university professor, seemingly not have passed on any wisdom or talent to his daughter?

To be cautious, he further inquired, "What university professor? What company manager?"

"Qingbei University and Zhongying Group, Little Wu, why suddenly ask this?" Lu Yao’s confusion deepened on her face.

Ah?

Qingbei University professor?

Zhongying Group manager?

You quite simplify things.

Wu Mu looked at her amusingly, "Nothing, just that you seem quite idle every day, always traveling around."

"Once work’s done, of course you can go travel!" Lu Yao clearly didn’t quite understand, gazing at Wu Mu with a face suggesting how foolish she found him.

But after discreetly mocking Wu Mu, she suddenly rolled her eyes, shouting dissatisfiedly, "That’s unfair! Little Wu, you asked me, now I want to ask you!"

Her face showed a seemingly careless, nonchalant expression, but her sidelong glances were full of curious peeks at Wu Mu, "Little Wu, what do your parents do?"

Wu Mu laughed, seemingly not entirely without inheritance. He didn’t avoid the question, answering directly, "My mom’s a primary school teacher, the other works as a laborer on the construction site."

After speaking, he didn’t forget to remind her, "Don’t talk about it outside."

Lu Yao was pleasantly surprised, "Little Wu, your mom’s a teacher too, same as my dad!"

She seemed to realize, her expression suggesting some intent, "No wonder we have so much in common to talk about."

Wu Mu thought that a primary school teacher and a Qingbei professor do have a bit of a difference, but didn’t refute it, only smiled and said, "Indeed, we have common topics."

He redirected the conversation back to the start, "Who did you see?"

Lu Yao’s attention shifted back, her face excitedly whispering, "I saw Yue Qinglan and Zhang Xuezong!"

Wu Mu’s face showed a trace of surprise.

These really are two superstars.

Zhang Xuezong is an old-school superstar singer on Blue Star, similar to Liang Jun, only having retired deeper than Liang Jun, has rarely appeared in recent years.

And Yue Qinglan is even more impressive; if Mo Mo’s status as a legendary diva requires a small qualifier, then Yue Qinglan genuinely is a legend.

She’s a female singer from Blue Star of the eighties and nineties, virtually known by everyone in Hua Country.

She also retired many years ago, rarely appearing in public anymore, but why are these two people here now?

Did Star City TV invite them?

How much would it cost to invite these two?

Wu Mu felt surprised.

Entering with Lu Yao, he indeed saw Yue Qinglan and Zhang Xuezong inside the venue.

Yue Qinglan wore a grand yet elegant black gauze gown, with a veil covering her face, completely concealing her appearance, but from her figure, one could already notice a trace of obvious aging.
