After offending capital, my songs became more and more popular.

Chapter 218 The anime-style cherry blossom girl sent by capital, even her father-in-law can't protect her this time!
When Shen Ming'en went to the "Silk Road Prosperity" event troupe to gather, it was already mid-October. The "autumn" atmosphere in the air was becoming stronger, and a slight chill was carried in the autumn wind, constantly pattering on people's bodies. Finally, we had gotten through the days when we could stick to our bodies even if we moved our fingers, and we had ushered in the cool autumn.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

The autumn wind rustled through the leaves, and the leaves on both sides of the road had already turned a dull yellow. Perhaps because of the rain last night, the leaves on the trees had fallen to the ground after being battered by wind and rain all night. Sanitation workers in orange-red overalls were sweeping them up with brooms...

The city is peaceful and serene in the early morning.

Sitting on the bus to the airport, gazing at the scenery, Shen Ming'en couldn't help but think of a song lyric, and softly hummed it:
"A melancholy maple leaf brushed against my shoulder."

"A lonely maple leaf beside you..."

"Clap clap..."

Shen Ming'en hummed softly in a voice only he could hear, but a sound like applause came from beside him. Turning his head, Shen Ming'en met the eyes of the girl sitting next to him who was wearing a very "dark" dress.

The girl was wearing a very elegant little black dress with a unique design at the shoulders and waist. Her two smooth and rounded legs were slightly curled up below the hem, and the black boots that covered her calves elevated the overall look. Her slender and tall figure was highlighted to the fullest.

Hoshino Rin, a rising star singer from Japan, is a popular idol adored by millions. She has also composed numerous theme songs for anime and manga, holding a unique position as a goddess in the anime and manga world. With her sweet looks and adorable personality, one glance is enough to draw you in with her lively and expressive eyes. Her short, neatly styled hair is permed and dyed. Even Shen Ming'en has to admit that this girl is indeed quite beautiful...

It's a pity he was a Japanese soldier.

To be honest, before getting on the bus, Shen Ming'en didn't know why this popular and talented female singer from Japan was in their overseas tour, especially since it was in China. So when Shen Ming'en met Teacher Chen Guangrong, he asked her about it. Teacher Chen told Shen Ming'en that the woman was sent by the performance company that Xiao Ri Zi was cooperating with them as a gesture of goodwill...

The intention was to ensure that our people were not mistreated. We were told that once we arrived there, we could tell her any requests we had, and she could also take us out for a stroll and some fun in her spare time, allowing us to experience the local customs and culture.

That sounds nice, but the problem is...

From the moment they met, she's been sticking to Shen Ming'en the whole time!

When they gathered, they surrounded Shen Mingen, took the initiative to greet him, and their words and actions revealed a fake "admiration". When they got on the bus, even though there was a boy sitting next to Shen Mingen, they still talked to that boy and said that they wanted to sit with Shen Mingen...

Poor guy, he was initially happy to see this cute anime girl come over and talk to him, but little did he know she wanted him to "give up his seat".

For a moment, the guy's gaze towards Shen Ming'en became somewhat awkward...

This is just stirring up trouble...

A beautiful woman is a source of trouble; wherever she goes, she becomes the best way to incite hatred.

Is this not?

Shen Ming'en was admiring the scenery along the way, humming a few lines casually. Hoshino Rin laughed, revealing her cute little tiger teeth, and said in broken Chinese:

"Siguo Yi, Ming En Jun sings so well, did you write this song? You..."

"stop!"

She meant to praise him, and Shen Ming'en understood, but the problem was... what the hell was this "Ming'en Jun"?!
Since her debut, Shen Ming'en has had many nicknames. I don't even need her to call him "Emperor Ming'en" or "Thunder Yata Ryan". You can call him "Hajien" if you want!
As the most famous "red song spokesperson" in the current Chinese entertainment industry, no one cares more about his reputation than Shen Ming'en, so Shen Ming'en smiled politely and said:

"We have an old saying, not that being pragmatic is the mark of a wise person, but that men and women should not touch each other; so, you know... let's keep our distance as much as possible, okay?"

As he spoke, he pointed to Hoshino Rin's fair and delicate leg, which had turned to the side as she was talking to him.

"emmm..."

What made Shen Ming'en feel extremely helpless was that while he was speaking, a brief look of embarrassment crossed Hoshino Rin's delicate face, and as soon as he finished speaking...

Damn it, this woman started pretending she "didn't understand".

And he even said, "My Chinese isn't good, so slow down... slur?"

I'm swearing, you fucking understood, stop pretending you didn't, okay... Shen Ming'en forced a smile, pointed at himself, and said, "I...I!"

“You…” Hoshino Rin was forced to repeat after Shen Ming’en.

Then they heard Shen Ming'en say with a smile, "I hate you."

"I...hate you?" Hoshino Rin's handsome lips twitched, clearly not expecting Shen Ming'en to express his disgust so directly and bluntly.

That's not all...

Worried that she might not have understood, Shen Ming'en even took out his phone from his pocket, turned on the AI ​​translation function, and then asked a question in voice:
"How do you say I hate you?"

The AI ​​quickly provided a response, and Shen Ming'en read it aloud from the pinyin: "kimi ga kirai da..."

Hoshino Rin: "..."

The poor, cute girl who is popular wherever she goes probably has never experienced being so clearly rejected in her life.

Even so...

She forced a smile and said:

"You can speak Japanese too, Kokuichi..."

Shen Ming'en: "..."

You son of a bitch, are you fucking insane?!
If it weren't for Teacher Chen Guangrong's instructions before he got on the bus to be mindful of the friendship between the two countries and to ignore this woman if he didn't want to associate with her or get angry, Shen Ming'en would have been cursing by now!

What the hell are you doing standing around me, you female Japanese devil?!
That idiot's true intention is obvious to everyone!

The two of them chattered incessantly the whole way, and what was really disgusting was that when they were going through airport security, a bunch of fans who had come to see them off were taking pictures with their phones, and this woman kept frantically moving closer to Shen Ming'en, not only that, but she also pretended to be kind and blocked the camera from Shen Ming'en...

As a result, almost none of the photos of Shen Ming'en taken by fans at the event included Hoshino Rin.

"You son of a bitch..." Shen Ming'en was so angry he wanted to curse.

"Huh? What did you say?" Coincidentally, Hoshino Rin overheard this.

Looking at the cute anime girl, Shen Ming'en smiled and said, "I have to say, you're fucking adorable!"

The two even sat together on the plane, which made Shen Ming'en so angry he almost blew smoke... This scene was not only noticed by fellow singers, but also by the troupe's senior management, including Chen Guangrong and Yao Changyu.

"Team leader," Teacher Chen Guangrong couldn't help but step forward and say, "Shouldn't we keep this girl from our singers a little further away? It's not good if word gets out."

The troupe leader, Zhao Qu, was a highly experienced leader. Hearing this, he smiled and waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Let's not even talk about what era we're in now. This young lady was not only sent by our neighboring country's partner, but we were also explicitly instructed to pay attention to international influence. It's her skill that she gets along well with our troupe members. If we interfere, won't people say we're old-fashioned?"

"But this..." Teacher Chen wanted to say a few more words.

In other words, it would be fine if this person wasn't Shen Ming'en!

Why not just find someone with a less famous reputation? Couldn't you have chosen someone else?
Does it have to be him?
"Eh……"

Upon seeing this, the group leader, Zhao Qu, immediately waved his hand to interrupt Teacher Chen, and said:
"Alright, Glory, stop worrying about this and that all the time. Our journey has just begun, and there's a long road ahead."

After saying that, he took the things and left.

Only Teacher Chen Guangrong remained, standing there in anger, his lips twitching...

Behind him, Peking Opera master Yao Changyu walked over at some point and gently patted Chen Guangrong on the shoulder.

Upon seeing his friend arrive, Chen Guangrong gritted his teeth inwardly and muttered angrily, "That female singer from over there, even a fool would know she was sent by those people specifically to target that idiot."

The partners of Xiao Rizi must have nothing better to do than send such a popular female singer to be their "accompanying tour guide".
That name alone is disgusting!
This girl didn't even bother to pretend; she was like a leech, constantly sticking to Shen Ming'en. Her intentions were as obvious as day!

Yao Changyu also had a lot of opinions about this, but as elders, they couldn't very well point fingers at such a thing. So even though he looked at the Japanese female singer named Hoshino Rin with the same sharp gaze, he could only comfort his friend by saying, "We can all see that the kid probably noticed it too. Don't worry, he's not stupid, he knows what he's doing."

“…It’s manageable here, but it might be different over there!” Chen Guangrong shook his head inwardly.

Yao Changyu shook his head and then said, "I've seen a lot of people online saying they want that kid to change his song. Do you know what's going on?"

"...It's probably Qin who's behind this." Teacher Chen got angry when this was mentioned.

Originally, their program was all set up perfectly. Shen Ming'en was to sing a very distinctive ethnic song, which was similar in style to one of his representative works, "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau".

It goes without saying what level of work "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" is. When in doubt, he's not joking. As the first performance, Shen Ming'en has shown his sincerity.

But the problem is...

Netizens on the Xiao Ri Zi side seem to have some opinions.

The internet is flooded with posts saying things like...

This guy named Shen Ming'en seems to know a lot; I've heard him sing their... Peking Opera.

[He was singing some kind of folk song... I don't understand it, and I think he was belittling us.]

Do they think we don't deserve to see him give his all?

There's an old Chinese saying, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." Since you're here, you'll definitely want to bring us the kind of works we want to see.

I don't care, I want this Ming En-sang to sing Peking Opera!

……

It's disgusting enough that Shen Ming'en, who's right next door, is called "Ming'en-kun" by Hoshino Rin. It's only because Shen Ming'en didn't see those guys calling him "Ming'en-san" that he didn't see them. Otherwise, he would have climbed over the internet cable and killed them!
What we're saying is, a wild boar is a wild boar, it can't eat fine chaff. As a unique cultural feature of our country, a Tibetan opera piece with ethnic characteristics, who in the world dares to say that Shen Ming'en lacks sincerity?

As for Peking Opera, there are several of Yao Changyu's top students who can perform it, and it's on the program list. But these people only focused on Shen Ming'en, insisting that he sing in the Peking Opera style and do things their way.

It was as if Shen Ming'en had to listen to them and do as they asked.

The worst part is that this trend is getting bigger and bigger!
Many netizens in the Chinese entertainment industry also have strong opinions about this. They all say that Shen Mingen can sing whatever he wants, and it's none of your business. A bunch of wild boars are giving you food, and you're not even grateful, let alone daring to have any objections? You've gone too far!

Do you miss the fat man or the little boy?
As viewers of the Chinese entertainment industry, we all have a deep sense of national pride in both Shen Ming'en and the "Silk Road Blossoms" troupe, which is supported by the official production company. Therefore, we believe that Shen Ming'en's performance on Xiao Ri Zi cannot be changed so easily.

But the problem is...

"This morning, I overheard Lao Zhao and the others talking about this," Yao Changyu said to Chen Guangrong. "From what Lao Zhao said, it's quite possible that they might actually ask that kid to change his song at the last minute."

"what?!"

Chen Guangrong nearly exploded upon hearing this, shouting:

"Is he an idiot?!"

"...Keep your voice down!" Yao Changyu gently pushed him.

"No way, does he even know what doing this means?!" Chen Guangrong was dumbfounded.

Their overseas performances are driven by a strong sense of national pride, promoting the unique culture that has been passed down for thousands of years in our country, not by currying favor with others!

If they just sing whatever people tell them to sing, what would they become?

Especially when it comes to bowing down to the mundane aspects of life!

"How could he not know..."

Yao Changyu shook his head, thinking to himself that the old man might have done it on purpose!
Zhao Qu is a seasoned veteran. As the troupe leader, frankly speaking, the matter of "changing songs" can be changed as long as he nods. Shen Ming'en has no choice at all. After all, this is not a commercial performance, but an event organized by the official organizers...

Even if he asked Shen Mingen to change the song, he would never say that he asked for it. He would definitely give Shen Mingen subtle hints and then say that Shen Mingen changed it "voluntarily".

If this matter really blows up, Shen Ming'en will definitely become the scapegoat in the end.

"...What do we do now?" Chen Guangrong silently rubbed his forehead, thinking to himself that the kid was just being a jerk. He had clearly told him to avoid coming if possible, but the kid insisted on coming...

Now look what's happened, isn't it?

Now, even his father-in-law can't protect him!
