Entertainment Era: Starting with Teaching Sister Meng to Sing

Daredevil Entertainment is one of the three largest entertainment companies in the industry, with involvement in film, television, and music, and its resources can be described as terrifying.

If Song Shihui is indeed the daughter of Song Ganwei, the chairman of Ganwei, then calling her the "Princess of the Entertainment Industry" is not an exaggeration at all.

But after much thought, Wang Xiaozhou couldn't find a reason why a woman from such a prominent family would want to teach at the county's No. 1 Middle School.

But when Song Shihui handed over the contract, Meng Ziyi signed it less than three seconds later, and the 700,000 yuan signing fee was immediately deposited into his account. Wang Xiaozhou had no choice but to believe what happened next.

"Talk to her about what's to come and let her make the arrangements. From now on, she will be your dedicated manager."

Song Shihui handed Meng Ziyi a slip of paper with a phone number ending in auspicious numbers.

Meng Ziyi stared blankly at the beautiful woman in front of her and nodded, not knowing why, but she always felt a bit hostile towards her.

"But if you sign with me, it seems like the championship of The Voice will have nothing to do with you anymore."

Song Shihui then smiled and said to Wang Xiaozhou.

Wang Xiaozhou shook his head and smiled wryly, not responding at all: "I was wondering why you didn't refute me when I said you were a Brahmin the other day. Turns out it really is! And not just a county-level Brahmin, but a national one!"

This woman is far too low-key. In my past life, after three years of high school, I never heard from her again. Some classmates from two grades below me said that she resigned from the school after finishing her class. They thought she was having a hard time and didn't want to contact her classmates.

Now it seems that this guy went back to Shanghai to inherit his family fortune. He and these students are from completely different worlds and their lives have never intersected.

"I'm genuinely curious, why did you choose to become a teacher at our school?"

Wang Xiaozhou asked a question that had puzzled him for two lifetimes combined.

Principal Li, standing nearby, also stared wide-eyed and nodded in agreement. If it weren't for Wang Xiaozhou and the others, he wouldn't have known that such a big Buddha was hidden in his school.

Song Shihui still didn't answer the question, but instead smiled and said, "Do you have a plan? Will Meng Ziyi's failure to win the championship have a big impact on your plans? If all else fails, I can try to make things work out."

Seeing that Song Shihui was unwilling to say more, Wang Xiaozhou stopped asking and replied, "With a contract with such a big company as Ganwei, I don't have to worry about Meng Ziyi participating in any low-class programs anymore."

Song Shihui nodded: "Suzhou TV is about to start recording a music variety show, which claims that it does not accept singers below the first tier. I can send Meng Ziyi in."

Wang Xiaozhou shook his head and smiled wryly, a mixture of helplessness and admiration: "In that case, whether I win the championship or not doesn't matter. I will give everyone an unforgettable performance in the next episode, and then I will make Meng Ziyi withdraw from the competition."

"Withdraw from the competition?" Song Shihui asked doubtfully. "Doesn't The Voice of China sign contracts with its contestants? If they withdraw before being eliminated, they have to pay a penalty for breach of contract, right?"

Wang Xiaozhou said matter-of-factly, "It's only two hundred thousand, you guys pay it back."

Wow, this suddenly feels so familiar; that shameless student's face...

"You mean, Meng Ziyi's performance in the next episode will be so amazing that she'll become the uncrowned queen of The Voice of China after she withdraws from the competition?"

"You said it yourself."

......

After signing the contract at noon, Wang Xiaozhou and Meng Ziyi went to the provincial capital in the afternoon.

The semi-final recording is the day after tomorrow, and I need to leave a day to submit the background music. If the time limit is too tight, it would be bad if something unexpected happened on set.

This time, the treatment in the provincial capital was completely different from before. As soon as the two of them got off at the train station, the program crew came to pick them up and took Wang Xiaozhou and the other two to the hotel that the program was cooperating with.

Two rooms were provided, and Director Jin even prepared a special room for Wang Xiaozhou. Everyone knows who the creator behind Meng Ziyi is; everyone wants to befriend a writer of that caliber.

"But you've flattered the wrong person, bro."

Wang Xiaozhou wouldn't leave the hotel front desk. When the front desk asked him what business he needed, he didn't say anything, but just stared at Meng Ziyi.

Currently, the Meng Ziyi character interface shows that the target character's career progress is 43% and the target character's favorability is 77%.

77% favorability rating! Such a rare and loyal love. Just three more points to reach the next milestone.

Is there a simpler and more direct way to obtain these three points of favorability?

Meng Ziyi was completely bewildered by Wang Xiaozhou's ambiguous gaze. It took her a while to realize what was going on, and she blushed as she said to the receptionist:

"Please change these two double rooms to standard rooms."

The front desk staff kindly reminded us: "This is a group booking, so even if we save a room, we will refund the room fee to the original payment method."

Ugh, what an awful receptionist!

Wang Xiaozhou stepped forward and pushed the room key forward: "Just want a standard room? Are you a kid? Working at the front desk as a minor?"

"Huh?" The young lady didn't know what Wang Xiaozhou was joking about. She lowered her head and changed the two double rooms into a standard room. Afraid that Wang Xiaozhou would cause trouble, she also thanked him for checking in.

Pushing open the door to the hotel room, which was far more luxurious than the previous small inn, Wang Xiaozhou raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Let's change your clothes. Are you wearing lace today?"

Meng Ziyi stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "Didn't I tell you it was only once that day? How come you... got addicted?"

Wang Xiaozhou looked even more shocked than she was. She had indeed received the signing fee, and Meng Ziyi wanted to subtly flaunt it while she breathed a sigh of relief. But how could she show this? What if she made her wary?

"What's the fuss about? It's only this late. I need to take you to rehearsal. I was asking if you were wearing lace because I was worried you might accidentally expose yourself!"

"oh..."

Meng Ziyi lowered her head, genuinely a little embarrassed: "I thought you were going to use my clothes again..."

Do you know how infuriating it is to talk like that?!

Wang Xiaozhou loosened his waistband and adjusted his position slightly. This damn principle! The favorability rating was already 77%, which was enough to make a move, but he insisted on waiting until after her eighteenth birthday to take action. Wasn't he just asking for trouble?

Song Shihui is still the best. She's a rich and caring 24-year-old woman. It's a pity she's not a system-bound character, otherwise I would definitely use her as a task to grind!

Go home and keep working hard, try to win over Song Shihui before Meng Ziyi's birthday!

After Meng Ziyi had tidied herself up, Wang Xiaozhou took her directly to the program's assistant director's office, where she discussed the new song with the assistant director, while he went to Director Jin's office.

On the last stage of The Voice of China, Wang Xiaozhou wanted to help Meng Ziyi draw a perfect conclusion. He wanted to put in one last effort on the stage design, because all the hard work he had done at home these past few days couldn't be wasted when The Voice of China ended.

There were no outsiders in Director Jin's office. Wang Xiaozhou entered the room, took out a USB drive, and began his demonstration.

After watching the entire performance, Director Jin fell into deep thought. The Voice of China is a stage that must strive for fairness on the surface, but the stage design that Wang Xiaozhou showed him was too amazing. It will definitely be a hit stage after it airs.

This is a really tough decision.

Wang Xiaozhou seized the opportunity: "Director Jin, this episode is no longer a battle on the same stage. Everyone is singing their own songs. Meng Ziyi did it, so others can too, like Li Qi. He must have such resources at home."

Director Jin remained silent.

After considering the matter for a moment, Wang Xiaozhou said in a low voice, "Besides... Meng Ziyi hasn't signed a contract yet, Director Jin."

Upon hearing this, Director Jin finally showed some hesitation on his face. After considering for nearly thirty seconds, he slammed his hand on the table and said, "Fine, it's settled then!"

"good!"

Wang Xiaozhou clapped his hands in delight. "Anyway, you guys decided the champion beforehand. It's not too much for me to pull the rug out from under you, is it?"
