Chapter 522: Chapter 498: Stir Up Trouble _1
Agreeing to Tong Shuwen’s request to be a special comntator wasn’t a difficult decision for Lin Yuan. He quite enjoyed offering so honest advice to the singers, especially since he would not have much else going on in the upcoming period—
His movie had finished shooting.
His novel had been published.
The only thing Lin Yuan would need to focus on was the occasional writing for a Hols series. Given that this series’ word count was inevitably high, Lin Yuan planned to adopt the sa strategy as he did for the Poirot Series—speeding up the releases at a certain point during serialization.
Huh?
At that mont, Lin Yuan noticed a ssage in his class group chat that was highlighted for everyone’s attention. It was sent by the class advisor, Hua Li: “Everyone should start preparing their graduation thesis. Our senior year will be ending soon, and if you don’t start on the thesis now, it could impact the issuance of your diploma.”
Lin Yuan was taken aback.
He had almost forgotten that he was in his senior year. Writing a thesis wouldn’t be a huge problem, but Lin Yuan suddenly realized that he would probably reveal his identity in June. By then, all his schoolmates would know that he is Xian Yu. However, since he had decided to participate in the show, he was already ntally prepared for this.
Of course.
Although Xian Yu’s identity would eventually be exposed and he would gain the identity of a singer, Lin Yuan had no plans to participate in any activities as a singer. Lin Yuan had no intention of participating in comrcial performances. After all, he didn’t rely on this as a source of inco.
“Got it.”
Lin Yuan responded in the group chat as other classmates were also replying to the class advisor’s ssage.
He simply added a ‘ 1’.
At that mont, a female classmate nad Ye Han tagged Lin Yuan in the chat: “I think I saw you at our company the other day. Are you also working at Starlight?”
“No way!”
“Starlight Entertainnt?”
“Ye Han is so stable!”
“I barely got an internship at a small music company, and here Ye Han is at Starlight, one of the top music companies in our Blue Star University!”
“Big leagues!”
“Ye Han, big boss, a kiss for you! Considering I often help clean your place, you have to pull up with you if you make it big at Starlight!”
“…”
So envied.
So were jealous.
The class group chat hadn’t been this lively in a long ti, especially since senior year started. Everyone started finding internships and barely had ti to chat in the group.
The truth is—
Friendships between classmates are the most pure. However, by senior year, many people start interning and have more interactions with society. Their mindsets start to shift towards becoming a part of working society. Many people even started private ssaging Ye Han to build connections, a skill they had learned from dealing with society. anwhile, many classmates tagged Lin Yuan, asking him about his situation. If Ye Han saw Lin Yuan at Starlight, then it’s highly likely Lin Yuan also found a job at Starlight.
“Well.”
Lin Yuan responded.
Ignoring the other classmates, Ye Han directly ntioned Lin Yuan: “Let’s catch up at the cafeteria soti. My aunt works as an agent at Starlight Entertainnt. She sotis gets access to the executive dining hall card. I can treat you to a al!”
“No need.”
Lin Yuan was quite pleased that soone was willing to treat him. However, he and Ye Han weren’t that close. He preferred to dine with people he was more familiar with. Most importantly, Lin Yuan didn’t have to pay when he dined at the executive dining hall.
So he refused.
No need for anyone to treat him.
This was Lin Yuan’s perk.
Lin Yuan didn’t find Ye Han’s situation strange. Chances are there were several other classmates from Qin Art set to join the company. Maybe there would even be more than one classmate like Ye Han.
“So cool!”
“Starlight!”
“Aweso!”
“Strong connections!”
While the classmates were still envying, Lin Yuan’s indirect refusal of Ye Han’s invite didn’t seem strange. There were many young girls in the class who had tried to pursue Lin Yuan, and Ye Han was just one among many. Besides, everyone knew that Lin Yuan’s piano skills were top-notch. It didn’t seem far-fetched that soone of his caliber could work at Starlight.
Lin Yuan stopped looking at the group chat.
He watched the previous episode of the third battle team and started noting down each person’s strengths and weaknesses in his notebook. Being a special comntator certainly required so preparation work beforehand.
He can’t just wing it.
After watching the episode, Lin Yuan noticed that the chat was still active. Most of the discussion revolved around Ye Han. Ye Han herself seed to be enjoying the conversation. Soone even said, “Xian Yu is also at Starlight, and he’s a big shot from our school. Ye Han, you might be able to figure out who he really is!”
“I can’t.”
Ye Han replied in the chat: “As soon as I joined the company, my aunt warned not to bother Fish Papa. Besides, it’s forbidden to take pictures of Fish Papa. I would not dare to break that rule.”
“…”
After so contemplation, Lin Yuan realized he never explicitly banned pictures. However, he had rejected others who sought to photograph him.
This must be the reason why such rumors exist in the company.
Perhaps this was why Xian Yu’s identity had remained hidden?
Without giving it much thought–
Lin Yuan hit the light and went to sleep.
A few days later–
Lin Yuan once again donned the mask of the Prince of Lanling and went to the production team of “The Masked Singer”.
Of course, he was not there to participate in the competition. As per the agreent, he was there to be a special comntator for the production team.
“Prince of Lanling!”
Director Tong Shuwen quickly found Lin Yuan in the dressing room: “Here’s how we have laid out today’s program…”
Tong Shuwen introduced the situation to Lin Yuan.
“Ok.”
Lin Yuan agreed.
Tong Shuwen smiled, “Then I will go get ready. You should also prepare to go on stage.”
“Sure.”
Tong Shuwen left.
Not long after, the recording officially began. Simultaneously, Lin Yuan got up to prepare to go on stage with the cara following him.
Center stage.
The host, An Hong, took the stage.
An Hong was quite popular these days, mainly because of a previous episode where the Prince of Lanling criticized Fei Yang. As the host, An Hong was standing by the side, holding back his laughter. The scene was hilarious.
He beca an internet sensation.
So when he appeared, the stage beca particularly lively. The nurous audience roared with cheers!
After smoothly completing his opening speech,
An Hong chuckled: “Everyone, please calm down. Before today’s competition begins, a special guest will appear. Allow to introduce our program’s special comntator, Teacher Prince of Lanling!”
“Who?”
The audience, still cheering, suddenly froze. The judging panel also froze at this announcent, including the four judges who looked at each other in disbelief.
The stage entrance.
A familiar figure was walking calmly towards the notable chair next to the stage. It was none other than that sharp-tongued singer from the first battle team–
The Prince of Lanling!
Backstage!
A masked singer was drinking water through a straw, but choked upon seeing the Prince of Lanling:
“What the?”
“Prince of Lanling?”
“Could that be wrong?”
“Special comntator?”
“Why did they invite him?”
As the Prince of Lanling calmly settled into his seat as the special comntator, the singers were baffled.
Inviting the Prince of Lanling to give comnts?
Did the show want to stir up so trouble?
