I was slacking off on a dating reality show when the female guests treated me like a treasure chest.

Chapter 117 Chen Nian and Su Xiao

Although the guest performer slots at the diva's concert are particularly enticing, the other tasks are equally valuable.

Zhou Yu glanced at Li Tian and Liu Ting, who had come together, and saw that the two had finally chosen to cooperate. He thought to himself, "In this way, there will be one less group of the strongest competitors."

She turned to look at Chen Nian again, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Ever since that night at the cruise ship recording studio, she had developed different feelings for Chen Nian. She couldn't explain why, but she knew that a voice in her heart was reminding her not to miss this opportunity.

Seeing that Chen Nian was still hesitant to make a decision, Zhou Yu suddenly raised her hand to the butler beside her and asked, "Excuse me, can the three of us team up to participate in the same project?"

Upon hearing this, the butler shook his head helplessly, a look of bewilderment on his face.

The live stream chat exploded.

In the past, most dating reality shows featured male guests actively pursuing female guests. It's quite rare to see a scene like this where two female guests choose the same male guest at the same time.

Tens of millions of viewers were surprised and started discussing it, saying that Su Xiao and Zhou Yu were clearly competing for Chen Nian.

Chen Nian was also a bit stumped. After a moment of silence, he looked at Zhou Yu with a serious expression and said, "I'm sorry, but this time I choose Su Xiao."

""

He had his own plans.

As the festival drew to a close, he wanted to help Su Xiao, a colleague with whom he had a long history.

However, he forgot that his connection with Zhou Yu was actually much deeper. They not only met in college, but he also wrote a song for Zhou Yu on the cruise ship, and they had little secrets about each other that no one else knew.

After all, he was the first man to see Zhou Yu crying her heart out.

Upon hearing this answer, Zhou Yu's face instantly filled with disappointment.

She had assumed that based on their past relationship, Chen Nian would definitely choose her. Had he forgotten all those little moments they had shared and those special memories?

Overwhelmed with emotion, she turned her head away, unwilling to look at the two of them again.

Su Xiao, however, was overjoyed, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Chen Nian, her smile as radiant as a flower.

She was genuinely glad that she had mustered the courage to take the initiative, and now she was able to partner with Chen Nian, and her heart was full of anticipation.

At this moment, the butler stepped forward and confirmed with the two of them, "Are you sure which task you want to choose?"

Chen Nian originally intended to do a charity photoshoot at the wildlife park, but since he decided to help Su Xiao, he naturally had to prioritize the other party's area of ​​expertise.

He plans to polish the song "Listen to the Sea" to its fullest extent so that Su Xiao can perform it for the first time at a music competition, while he himself will decide what song to sing later.

After the two finalized their choice, the butler immediately asked the others present whether they wanted to compete for a spot in the Sydney Music Competition.

A moment of silence fell over the scene. After a while, Zhou Yu pulled Qi Feng along and decided to join the competition. According to the rules, the two teams would have to draw lots to determine the winner.

There are two lots in the divination tube, one for winning and one for losing.

After a moment's thought, Chen Nian gestured for Zhou Yu's side to draw.

Zhou Yu didn't refuse. He stepped forward, drew a slip of paper, and after seeing the handwriting, his eyes dimmed instantly. He whispered, "We lost. This project is yours."

She sighed softly and turned to discuss the next options with Qi Feng.

After careful consideration, the two decided to walk the runway at EV Global Fashion Week. In terms of exposure, this resource is in no way inferior to concerts and music competitions.

At this point, only Tang Xi, Xia Yao, Su He, and Wen Jingran remained on the field. Three teams had already been formed, leaving them with few options.

If Chen Nian hadn't agreed to Su Xiao's request, the two of them would have originally wanted to try and team up with Chen Nian.

After careful consideration, Tang Xi chose to team up with Wen Jingran, while Xia Yao partnered with Su He.

Tang Xi and Wen Jingran teamed up and immediately set their sights on a cameo role in the movie.

Xia Yao originally planned to choose the zoo's public service announcement video, but Su He, as an actor, naturally wanted to compete for film and television resources, so the two teams had to compete on the same stage.

This time, Tang Xi was lucky and successfully secured cameo roles in the film with Wen Jingran, while Xia Yao and Su He were not so fortunate and could only choose to film the only remaining public service announcement.

Under the watchful eyes of tens of millions of viewers, all five teams were assembled, and the tasks for each group were officially finalized.

Li Tian and Liu Ting chose to be guest performers at Lena Rubinstein's concert.

Chen Nian and Su Xiao were performing guests at the Sydney International Music Competition.

Zhou Yu and Qi Feng secured their spots on the runway at EV Global Fashion Week.

Tang Xi and Wen Jingran played cameo roles in the film, while Xia Yao and Su He chose the last task: filming a public service announcement for an Australian wildlife park.

With everything settled, the butler distributed the five contracts to each group.

Everyone signed in turn. Li Tian and Liu Ting, as the first group to depart, needed to leave immediately.

The two didn't even have time to say goodbye properly before they hurriedly left with their luggage, arranged by the staff.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, everyone present felt a pang of reluctance.

According to the program's rules, each group will have a special confession segment after completing their task, which will be their last chance to express their feelings.

Watching the two leave, Chen Nian could easily see that the final outcome for Li Tian and Liu Ting was already self-evident.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Xi and Wen Jingran also received a notification that they needed to immediately travel to a neighboring city to meet up with the film crew.

The time for parting came again, but this time everyone had time to say goodbye to each other.

After saying goodbye to the others, Tang Xi walked up to Chen Nian and joked with a smile, "I'm just reminding you, Xinghe Entertainment has a rule that artists and their colleagues in the creative department are not allowed to date."

After saying that, she took Su Xiao's arm and asked, "Right, Su Xiao?"

Su Xiao's lips moved, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself, and in the end she could only nod gently.

Chen Nian glanced at her helplessly and smiled, "I'm from the company's creative department, so I naturally know the rules."

Tang Xi chuckled, as if relieved, and then left with the staff.

The number of people in the hall was decreasing. Zhou Yu and Qi Feng were attending Fashion Week and needed to receive professional training before the competition. They also had to hurry to the designated hotel at the show venue to meet up with the staff.

In the bustling lobby, only Chen Nian and Su Xiao remained. The music competition was scheduled for the evening of the 27th, and the venue was only three kilometers away from the hotel. With four days to prepare, they didn't need to travel a long distance.

Looking at the empty hall, Chen Nian felt a pang of melancholy.

Having spent nearly a month together, I had long been accustomed to the lively atmosphere of everyone joking around, so the sudden quiet felt a bit strange.

He always understood the principle that all good things must come to an end.

"What should we do next?" Su Xiao asked.

Chen Nian composed himself and replied, "Let's find a recording studio first."

After arriving in the city from the deserted island, the two planned to take a good rest.

At 3 p.m., the sky outside was overcast. The two had a hearty meal at the hotel's buffet restaurant, changed their clothes in their room, and then went out with their accompanying cameraman.

Once outside, Chen Nian noticed Su Xiao's outfit: simple jeans paired with a cartoon T-shirt, refreshing and lively, full of youthful energy, with a unique charm.

To be honest, Su Xiao has a youthful and innocent charm that makes her even more alluring!

Noticing that Chen Nian was watching her, Su Xiao felt a surge of joy.

Shortly after, the two hailed a taxi, and Chen Nian communicated with the driver in English to head to a nearby recording studio.

Before leaving, he specifically asked the production team for an advance payment to avoid being short of money when renting equipment later.

On the way, Chen Nian and Su Xiao talked about their plan to thoroughly refine "Listening to the Sea" as her debut piece for this competition.

Su Xiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled with her eyes crinkling. She had been looking forward to this song for a long time.

Before long, the two arrived at their destination with the photographer.

This recording studio is quite large, and it gets very popular on weekends.

The two waited in line until around 5 p.m. before they were able to book a recording studio. Upon seeing this, Chen Nian immediately booked a five-hour session.

Even though they had been queuing for more than an hour, their live stream still had millions of viewers watching.

This time, Chen Nian plans to finish everything in one go.

Therefore, he bought a hard drive from the front desk to copy the files.

When he first sang "Listen to the Sea," it was recorded by a photographer, and many viewers have probably heard it.

Therefore, he is not worried about leaking the recording studio when he comes to the studio to produce and arrange music.

Although none of the songs he presented on the show were copyrighted, everyone knows he is a songwriter, which deters those who want to plagiarize him.

Upon entering the recording studio, both of them were somewhat surprised, as the professional equipment there was top-notch.

Chen Nian ordered two coffees and then got to work with Su Xiao.

Once he entered a creative state, he acted decisively and efficiently, arranging various matters in an orderly manner. Su Xiao also cooperated very well and enjoyed the atmosphere of their time together.

When the coffee arrived, Chen Nian had already tuned all the musical instruments.

He picked up his coffee, took a sip, sat down at the mixing console, and carefully discussed some recording details with Su Xiao.

After giving his instructions, he went to the performance area and began arranging the music.

The show "Heartbeat" has now entered its finale, and its popularity is at an all-time high, with viewership soaring.

At this moment, Li Tian and Liu Ting had arrived at the hotel where the world-renowned diva Lena was staying. As they were about to meet this globally famous diva, the two newcomers to the music scene became nervous.

Both of them knew perfectly well that there was no possibility of them holding hands, so they seized this last opportunity to gain attention.

On her way here, Liu Ting already had an idea: she would sing the song Chen Nian wrote for her.

At this moment, Liu Ting had no idea how popular her song "Later," which she had officially premiered last time, was now on the internet.

The night is peaceful...

As night fell, the city of Sydney was bathed in neon lights. In the recording studio, Chen Nian and Su Xiao were doing the final work on the arrangement and editing.

Chen Nian looked at the nearly completed arrangement and felt excited. This was the first arrangement he had ever truly completed.

This means that his first song in this world is about to be completed.

At this moment, the number of viewers in their live stream has exceeded ten million, far more than the viewers of the other four groups of guests.

In just a few hours, tens of millions of viewers witnessed how he perfected the arrangement of a song.

This scene was witnessed by many industry insiders.

For Xinghe, this was a rare moment of relief for its executives, who had been extremely anxious lately, even considering going to the production team to take Chen Nian away.

Lin Ran was constantly bothered by these high-ranking officials, which left her feeling quite helpless. Now, those guys had nothing to say.

Even so, Lin Ran fell silent as she looked at Chen Nian in the picture. Even she rarely saw Chen Nian so focused.
