Entertainment Era: Starting with Teaching Sister Meng to Sing

Monday, early morning.

Wang Xiaozhou didn't take the 7 o'clock minibus, but instead took the earliest bus to school, his eyes filled with anger.

Just now, Huang Mao, who had stayed up all night and hadn't slept, sent three text messages in a row.

It's said that the chat groups of various universities are buzzing with discussion about Meng Ziyi and Wang Xiaozhou going out together.

Because he used to be a troublemaker, Wang Xiaozhou was in all the chat groups of various schools in the county, so he immediately took out his phone to check.

Then I discovered that apart from the group chat of the county's No. 1 High School, which was a little better, the chat logs of the other schools' groups were simply unreadable.

The No. 2 Middle School of the County (500 members)

[It's confirmed: Wang Xiaozhou really did take Meng Ziyi to another city. My buddy was at the train station at the time and even struck up a conversation with Wang Xiaozhou.]

[I know Wang Xiaozhou, the guy from No. 1 High School who's involved in organized crime, he's pretty handsome. But who is this Meng Ziyi? I've never heard of him before. Why are we attacking them both?]

You didn't know this? Meng Ziyi seems to be from No. 2 Middle School, but she studies art and hasn't attended many academic classes in three years. She's exceptionally beautiful and is considered the most beautiful girl in her art class.

I heard the story goes like this: Meng Ziyi wanted to participate in "The Voice of China," so Wang Xiaozhou lied to her, saying he could write songs, and then used the opportunity of going to the provincial capital to compete to seduce Meng Ziyi!

What should I do?

What do you think?

[Hmph, that's not all. Don't you know what it's like in the underworld? I heard that after the two of them did *that*, Wang Xiaozhou got bored immediately and tricked Meng Ziyi into working at a karaoke bar for half a month!]

【Huh? Isn't that person finished?】

......

County technical school QQ group (500 people)

[Holy crap, guys, this is shocking! Wang Xiaozhou from No. 1 High School tricked a girl from an arts school into selling her in the provincial capital!]

[You're talking nonsense. I've met Wang Xiaozhou, and he's a pretty good person.]

What kind of good character could someone who's become famous in our schools have? They've used him, and then made money off him. Do you think he wouldn't take it?

[I heard it was that girl who did it on purpose. She used her looks to get close to Wang Xiaozhou, hoping to date a gangster, but she ended up being betrayed.]

No matter how beautiful a woman is, it's no good; she'll probably end up with a disease.

......

The most vicious way to ruin a woman is to tarnish her reputation, especially for a girl like Meng Ziyi who has no close relatives, is beautiful, and lives a clean and honest life on her own. The gossip outside can really break her down.

So it's no longer important to investigate who is spreading rumors. What's important is to keep Meng Ziyi calm and let her know that she has people backing her up.

We got off the bus at the entrance of the county's No. 1 Middle School, where Huang Mao and his friends, who had just stayed overnight and hadn't slept, were already waiting.

After the group met up, they walked silently towards the No. 2 Middle School of the county without saying a word.

Meng Ziyi is a student at No. 2 Middle School. Although she is an art student, she still has to go back to school to report back from leave.

When they arrived at the entrance of the Second Middle School, the security guard saw the angry looks on the faces of the several teenagers and dared not let them into the school.

Wang Xiaozhou didn't make things difficult for him. He took two steps back and lit a cigarette while standing by the school gate.

It was 6:30. Some good students had already arrived with their backpacks to study. Wang Xiaozhou didn't move. Huang Mao and the others silently pulled out their snapbacks from their waists, holding them loosely in their hands with half of the handle tip showing.

A menacing aura emanates from him!

As time went on, the school gate began to bustle with activity. Students from all directions converged into the school gate, but when they passed Wang Xiaozhou and the others, they all lowered their heads and walked around them, only starting to talk after entering the school.

"Aren't those Wang Xiaozhou's gang standing at the gate? What are they doing at No. 2 Middle School?"

"Who's messed with them again? I saw that blond guy had a switchblade in his hand."

"It shouldn't be them. I haven't seen them for several days. I guess Wang Xiaozhou just came back from out of town today. He probably heard that someone dared to talk badly about him while he was away, so he's here to seek revenge."

"Did Mencius recall that incident?"

"I guess so."

......

It was almost 7:30, and the school gate was already packed with people. Most of the students who were just coasting along had arrived, and some students who knew Wang Xiaozhou and others came over to chat with them, laughing and joking.

"Brother Zhou, who are you here to pick today? Need any help?"

Wang Xiaozhou glanced at him sideways but didn't say anything.

The third brother stepped up two steps and pried open the spring clip button.

The person who had spoken to him quickly ran away, apologizing as he ran, fearing that Wang Xiaozhou and the others would chase after him.

At 7:35, Meng Ziyi finally appeared at the entrance of No. 2 Middle School. She was stunned for a moment when she saw Wang Xiaozhou and the others, and then greeted them warmly.

It seems they are unaware of the rumors about them last night, which is good.

"You're so lazy, you're only getting into school on time. How are you going to help me make big money in the future?"

Meng Ziyi pouted, her upper lip almost touching her nose: "I practiced my posture at home for an hour before going out, so I'm not lazy."

Wang Xiaozhou followed Meng Ziyi toward the school, but the gatekeeper stopped them at the gate.

Wang Xiaozhou explained, "I drop people off at school and then go in by myself; I don't cause any trouble."

The new security guard glared at him, looking righteous and about to say something, but before he could speak, he was stopped by the old security guard next to him.

"Wang Xiaozhou, right? We've met before. You're a sensible kid. Once you've sent the person in, get him out as soon as possible. I trust you."

Wang Xiaozhou nodded his thanks to the old security guard and walked inside with Meng Ziyi.

Noticing the strange looks from the students on the street, Meng Ziyi asked, "Why are you giving me a ride today? Am I going to become famous prematurely?"

Wang Xiaozhou said gently, "It's bound to be a hit, but it seems we'll have to wait until the show airs."

Meng Ziyi stuck out his tongue.

Wang Xiaozhou then asked, "Do you know what the downsides of being a celebrity are, or what the downsides are of becoming famous?"

Mencius thought for a moment and said, "You mean negative news? I'm not afraid of that. They like to spread rumors and scold me, so let them do what they want. Anyway, no one will come to my face to scold me, and I can't hear them."

Thinking about it carefully, Meng Ziyi did indeed do the same thing in her previous life when she was being criticized by the entire internet. This woman, described as a flower under the Bodhi tree, does have a strong core.

"What you're saying reminds me of a famous quote from a great poet-monk, but saying that would make me sound like a father figure, so let me give you a more modern one."

"What?"

"Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown."

Wherever the two went, the surrounding students automatically fell silent. No one dared to mention what happened in the Xiuxiu group. The two walked calmly to the teachers' office building and found Meng Ziyi's homeroom teacher to cancel their leave.

After arriving at the school gate, the group escorted Meng Ziyi back to the art school.

They agreed to take a walk together at the train station that evening. After watching Meng Ziyi enter the door, Wang Xiaozhou turned around as if his expression could change. His warm expression turned into a calm one, and beneath the calmness lay ruthlessness!

"Have you investigated where the rumors started?"

The third brother, the only one in the gang who could be considered half a scholar, took out his phone and showed the content to Wang Xiaozhou.

"It's been investigated. The news that you took Sister Meng out was first spread by this person with the online name 'Feng Ai Suo Xin'."

This person was using a smurf account, but coincidentally, he added one of the guys in our internet cafe as a friend while playing the game on that account.

"Have you found out who it is?"

"Yes, his name is Wei Bin."
