Chapter 213 The Great Reconciliation of the Century

What's this kid doing? Is this the time to write?

It wasn't exactly an emergency, but it was definitely a race against time. He was in such a dire situation that he still had the mind to write a novel. I don't know if he had a good attitude or just confidence.

So composed? No wonder he's like that.

"Is it possible that he had already finished writing the song, but just wanted to squeeze out some time to write the novel?"

It sounds a bit far-fetched that he would write a novel in his spare time with a performance just around the corner, but if it were Yu Wei, it wouldn't be impossible. He was writing in front of everyone, so what's impossible about him?
"Teacher Yu, have you finished writing your song?"

The music director originally didn't intend to get involved; it had been agreed that it would be two hours, so there was no reason to rush him ahead of time. But Yu Wei's situation made it impossible not to ask.

If he simply wants to write a novel, he can first release the song and let the band practice it, and then he can write the novel slowly.

Yu Wei knows what he's doing with the songs he writes, but he really needs to practice the accompaniment as early as possible.

"Not even close."

Yu Wei knew his behavior was a bit confusing, so he explained seriously, "I'm stuck, so I'm writing a novel to clear my head."

Everyone finally understood what it meant to be speechless with emotion. So the rumors were true; he really was accumulating inspiration while writing his novel?

The world of geniuses is beyond our comprehension, but their methods of gaining inspiration are certainly unconventional.

"Then don't bother me."

Although he couldn't quite understand, the music director, being a musician himself, knew that it was precisely at times like these that one shouldn't rush things, so he simply went back to continue guiding the rehearsals.

There's no use in them being anxious; at this point, all they can do is rely on Yu Wei himself.

Actually, there was no use in Yu Weiji's haste; at this point, all that mattered was how fast Qi Luoan's hands moved.

He wasn't just waiting idly; the 30,000-word room he and Qi Luoan had booked back then wasn't finished yet, and he could directly see the other person's word count increasing.

Qi Luoan's typing speed was indeed much faster than his; she had already written nearly a thousand words in just over half an hour. It seemed that she took her own affairs very seriously, which was quite reliable.

While waiting for good news, Yu Wei couldn't help but feel a bit competitive, not wanting to fall too far behind her!

Seeing Yu Wei getting more and more engrossed in typing in the audience, even showing signs of exploding with energy, the other artists participating in the rehearsal immediately had a guess in their minds.

Is it possible that he wanted to write his new song in the novel?

Yu Wei's principle is to write the song into the book first and then sing it. It's rare that he still remembers his original intention even at this time.

The laws of our ancestors cannot be changed.

Director Wang Qi stood in the center of the audience, his arms crossed in front of his chest, his eyes scanning every detail of the stage with keen insight.

He tried his best to control himself from thinking about Yu Wei and focus on his work, but he was still a little flustered when he inadvertently saw the other person sitting in the corner typing.

Is this kid really reliable? Isn't it too risky?

He had never been so speechless in his life. If Yu Weizhen were creating, Wang Qi wouldn't be so worried. At least it would be some psychological comfort.

But this kid is diligently writing a novel, and time is passing by second by second. How can anyone stay calm in this situation?
Chen Jinyi stood to the side of the stage, silently reciting her script. Although she had hosted many galas before, she still felt a little nervous.

This nervousness didn't stem from a lack of confidence, but rather from a sense of awe for the stage. She knew that countless viewers would be watching the live broadcast tonight, and everyone's expectations were a responsibility she had to bear.

So, does Yu Wei have any reverence for the stage and the audience?

She glanced at Yu Wei, who was frantically typing away in the audience. This kid was ruined by writing novels. She hoped that An'an wouldn't catch his bad habit in the future...

After a long wait of an hour and a half, Qi Luoan's new chapter was finally released.

Yu Wei opened the panel and saw 1200 subscriptions. Not bad. Based on Qi Luoan's novel data, it would probably only take a few minutes.

Although her book isn't as popular across the entire internet as hers, it's still quite popular within the site.

"I've been so busy, finally!"

Qi Luoan felt as if he had burned himself out and become a relic; he had never worked this hard while writing before.

"A grateful heart, thank you for being there."

For Yu Wei, words of gratitude were insufficient to express her gratitude. She had helped her in many ways, though they were all small favors. But the affection, closeness, and longing shown in these small details of life, as well as the selfless and dedicated emotions, were exceptionally precious.

"Alright, go ahead and do your thing, I'm going to go back to sleep."

Although he had a lot to say, Qi Luoan knew it wasn't the right time. He rarely sought his help in such a hurry, which meant the matter was of great importance.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths; it's good that she can help.

The thought that her mother's best friend Yu Wei was going to a party that night, leaving her to watch the performance alone at home, made Qi Luoan feel sad.

Show care for elderly people living alone, thank you.

Yu Wei didn't say anything polite; their relationship was such that saying too much would be too formal.

While waiting for the data to meet the target, he decided to open Qi Luoan's novel to see how it was written.

The story goes that when the male protagonist, Wei Yu, attended the writers' conference, he didn't participate in the small group's grand pronouncements and discussions; instead, he simply listened to music quietly in a corner.

She naturally listened to the new song Yu Wei sent her, and then, just like last time, the protagonist listened to the song for a whole chapter...

But this time Qi Luoan was smarter. She was afraid that if she wrote it that way, readers would criticize her for being irrelevant, so she promptly switched back to the main plot at the end, where a colleague's career collapsed at the meeting.

"Damn, no wonder it looked so familiar."

Yu Wei hasn't even used this material yet, but Qi Luoan has already used it. He didn't participate in the small group and just listened to the song quietly, right? Isn't that just like him?

Perhaps it was the competitive spirit that was aroused that prompted Yu Wei to finally write a chapter of his novel. Just as he was finishing the new chapter, the exchange data finally met the target.

"just."

After Yu Wei redeemed the songs, he released the latest chapter of the novel, and now he could go to rehearse in peace.

Many people at the scene were eagerly anticipating Yu Wei's latest chapter. They clicked on the update as soon as it was released, only to be greatly disappointed. Yu Wei's new chapter did not include the title of a new song; it only depicted the daily rehearsals of the contestants before the competition.

Instead of finding out about a new song, they were faced with their worst fear: taking notes in their notebooks...

Readers exclaimed that Yu Wei had suddenly become a technical expert, vividly describing rehearsal mistakes and being scolded by the music supervisor, which was a rare treat for them.

What? There are artists who forget their lyrics and make things up on the spot? What a talent!

Song Shu wanted to curse when she saw this, but guess why she didn't laugh?
The guests who were used as material for the show were really not happy. Not only were their embarrassing stories recorded, but they didn't even get their names recorded, and they didn't get any attention at all.

Yu Wei didn't write anything on the first day, so they thought they were safe. Little did they know that something was waiting for them.

"This person is too sinister."

"It's incredibly sinister."

"Who?"

Just as the group was about to hurl a few curses, they looked up and realized that it was Yu Wei who had spoken to them, so they quickly changed the subject.

"Teacher Yu, is the new song finished?"

"Just finished."

The focus of everyone's attention was on him. Yu Wei's opening remarks instantly became a fuse that ignited the concert hall.

Wang Qi and the music director rushed forward almost immediately, saying "Hurry up and rehearse!" with such impatience, it was like the Jade Emperor calling for reinforcements in the 86 TV series "Journey to the West".

Go quickly and invite the Buddha...

As Yu Wei enthusiastically began practicing the new song with the band, the guest who had been quite critical earlier found it difficult to say anything more.

This kid has changed his ways today. He's singing a new song and not writing it in the novel. What happened to the ancestral laws that cannot be changed?

Only Shen Yutong showed a knowing expression, and then easily clicked on Qi Luoan's new chapter.

No wonder she updated so early in the morning, it turns out she switched accounts to release songs. These two are really playing tricks, even the concert is part of their show.
"Everyone, hurry up and eat. We'll have our dress rehearsal in an hour!"

The logistics team leader's voice echoed throughout the venue.

Once the makeup was done, there was no turning back. While the others ate slowly and chatted, Yu Wei picked up her bowl and started shoveling rice into her mouth, with no time to think.

There was nothing he could do; the organizers had already given him time, and he couldn't rest for a moment longer. Time was running out, and the start of the concert was fast approaching.

Taking into account the time for early clearing and audience entry, the remaining time will be even less.

Although the band had to work overtime because of him, they seemed to enjoy it. Being able to unite with Yu Wei to accomplish this feat at such a time was of great significance to them.

After a busy afternoon of rehearsals, the instruments were carefully packed away and stored, to be unpacked again half an hour before the performance.

The costume designer checked each performer's costume one by one to ensure there were no flaws, while the makeup artist did the final touch-ups for the guests.

There is one hour left before the show starts.

"Come here, let's take a picture together."

Shen Yutong actually planned to take a picture of Yu Wei and send it to Qi Luoan, but she felt it was a bit too deliberate, so she suggested taking a photo together.

After changing into her performance costume and putting on light makeup, Yu Wei looked like a completely different person, making even a detached and aloof female scholar like herself unable to resist taking a second look.

"Okay."

Yu Wei had seen many photos of celebrities backstage before, and they seemed to be having a great time without much backstabbing or infighting, which was quite interesting.

"Count me in."

Chi Leying volunteered to join, and thinking about it carefully, she realized that she and Yu Wei had never taken a single photo together in all the time they had known each other.

Besides keeping it as a keepsake, you can also get some attention by posting it on Weibo after taking the picture, right?

Although she didn't want to bring outsiders, Shen Yutong couldn't just kick them out since they had volunteered, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and take a picture of the three of them with her phone.

When Qi Luoan received the photo, she saw that although Yu Wei in the center looked tired from continuous rehearsals, her deep eyes and sharp eyebrows easily deceived her.

But when she saw the two women on either side of her, with their long dresses, black hair, and radiant smiles, she instantly sobered up, only regretting that she wasn't there.

"Could you Photoshop me in so I can feel a sense of participation?"

Although Qi Luoan complained, she had taken a photo with Yu Wei much earlier than them, so she was still a cut above the rest.

After Yu Weigang replied to her message, he heard a cacophony of voices approaching from afar; the audience was beginning to enter, and the performance was about to begin.

Director Wang Qi issued the final instruction through his headset: "Final confirmation from all departments. Five minutes to go."

The staff took their positions first, and the stage lights dimmed, leaving only a few work lights for illumination.

At this moment, the highly respected female host walked by gracefully. Chen Jinyi was dressed in an elegant dress, and the composure and stage experience she had gained over the years gave her a calm aura.

She stopped in her tracks as she was about to begin, turned her head, and gave Yu Wei a warm smile.

"come on!"

Her smile was not a polite performance, nor was it anything else; it was simply a senior's deep expectation and sincere encouragement for a junior.

This unexpected turn of events caught everyone waiting in the wings completely off guard. Did Yu Wei actually know Teacher Chen Jinyi all along?
Having hosted the CCTV Spring Festival Gala for sixteen consecutive years, it's hard for them not to recognize him.

She's not, well, that man's daughter...

The Great Reconciliation of the Century!
Unexpectedly, Yu Wei had this kind of connection, but they didn't have time to think about it too much, as the concert had already begun and the performance was about to start.

The lights in the audience gradually dimmed, and the noisy crowd quieted down. The live broadcast started simultaneously, and countless viewers focused their attention on the dark stage.
