Chapter 441: Chapter 246: The Mage: Schooling Chen Jincheng This Time
At the same time, Xue Qian, with his unique abilities, had brought along several musicians to prop up some of Sujiang TV’s variety shows, earning the station a reputation for being high-class.
This also showed that Sujiang TV hadn’t been wrong to help Xue Qian, and Xue Qian was indeed someone who repaid kindness.
Xue Qian continued, "Lao Cheng, while this music festival isn’t an official TV station program and the appearance fee is only one million, if your live performance goes well, Sujiang TV might still invite you onto one of their official shows. After all, it’s becoming more and more common for online celebrities to appear on mainstream programs."
"Oh, right, that Master Yu will be at the music festival too. Also, the audience for this youth-themed festival is always full of young women—they make up 70 to 80 percent of the crowd."
Master Yu was also the reason he hadn’t planned on attending the festival himself.
As for why Sujiang TV would invite Master Yu, some things were just unavoidable.
Now that Sujiang TV had come to him, he couldn’t do anything about it either.
As for whether Chen Jincheng would go, all he could do was try his best to persuade him.
"You didn’t have to add that last part. What kind of person do you think I am?" Chen Jincheng shot Xue Qian an annoyed glance.
’Am I the kind of person who would agree to go just because 70 to 80 percent of the audience would be young women?’
However, upon hearing that there would be so many young women there, he immediately turned his attention to the game in his mind.
[The Scumbaggiest Persona Sings the Most Devoted Love Song - Ancestral Master’s Exclusive BGM: "Girl":
Notes: 1. The instrumental and song have already been registered and filed with the National Music Network! 2. When the host possesses the scumbaggiest persona, singing this love song will grant a special BUFF: Emotion Manipulation. 3. Girls in the live audience will experience accelerated heart rates and feel utterly flustered! 4. When you have the Ancestral Master title, using this song as BGM for your videos will grant a bonus to its appeal!!]
The stats on this exclusive BGM for the Ancestral Master were absolutely insane.
First, it allowed someone with the scumbaggiest persona to manipulate emotions. Since he was the number one scumbag online, he perfectly fit the criteria.
That meant as long as he sang this song, he could stir people’s emotions.
Crucially, the song also had the effect of making girls in the live audience’s hearts race and leaving them completely flustered.
It was a built-in girl-charming attribute.
But he had only ever sung this song during a group stream with the girls, and he had only charmed the artists from his own company.
Now Xue Qian was saying that 70 to 80 percent of the attendees at this music festival would be women. Wasn’t that just setting him up for a mass-charming session? Or, in other words, to completely own the stage.
As for why 70 to 80 percent of the audience would be women, that went without saying. For the most part, women tended to enjoy these kinds of events more, and they were also more likely to be avid fans.
Hearing Chen Jincheng’s words, Xue Qian gave an awkward laugh.
’Isn’t it because you’re the number one scumbag online that I bothered to add that part?’
But Chen Jincheng spoke again, "Although I’m not going because of all the young women, if that Master Yu is going to be there, then I have to go. I want to see for myself just how amazing the ’eternal god of the Chinese music scene’ is live."
Besides, he was confident that no matter how incredible his rival was live, he could use the cheat-like game attributes of "Girl" to crush him.
His rival’s song sales couldn’t compare to his. If the so-called ’god of live performance’ was also overshadowed by him, how embarrassing would that be?
He didn’t know when he had started wanting to embarrass this Mage so badly.
’Who told him to keep causing trouble for me?’
When Xue Qian heard he had agreed, a look of delight spread across his face. "That’s great! I’ll contact them right away and have them arrange a flight."
As Xue Qian stepped aside to make the call, Chen Jincheng sent him a text: Add one more plane ticket.
The young married teacher’s lessons weren’t finished yet. Since he was going to the music festival in Su Jiang, he would naturally take her along to continue her classes there.
He also immediately sent a message to the young married teacher: "Pack your things. You’re coming with me to Su Jiang to continue your lessons."
Since the music festival was at night, and the other party was arranging the flight, they would definitely have to fly over right away.
When Xue Qian saw the text, he knew Lao Cheng was definitely taking a girl with him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent the message so secretively.
’He really knows how to live. I’m actually a bit envious. After all, Lao Cheng has the title of ’number one scumbag online,’ and everyone says he’s coercing those ’Miss Chengs’ into sleeping with him, yet there isn’t the slightest sign of his reputation collapsing. In fact, it’s only growing. Meanwhile, I nearly got crucified just because of a messy breakup and some unresolved financial disputes with my ex-girlfriend. How can the difference between people be so huge?’
After texting the young married teacher, Chen Jincheng turned to give instructions to Sister Hong. "Sister Hong, since I’ve agreed to go to the music festival with Xue Qian, I’m leaving the team-building shoot here to you."
"Don’t worry, leave it to me," Sister Hong agreed with a nod.
Xue Qian immediately came back over. "Lao Cheng, they’ve arranged the plane tickets. We can head to the airport now. You can just send over the relevant ID information on the way."
"Mm," Chen Jincheng nodded. He and Xue Qian then left the hotel, having Zhu Zhen drive them away in the four-seater sports car.
On the way, Chen Jincheng once again asked the young married teacher for her ID information and name, then passed it to Xue Qian to forward to the organizers.
Although he didn’t know how Sujiang TV arranged flights, it was clear that this sort of thing was standard procedure for them.
When Xue Qian received Li Suwan’s ID information, he saw the name and knew it was a woman. It just seemed she wasn’t one of the girls from Second-Life Star; otherwise, she would have just followed them out of the hotel directly.
In other words, Lao Cheng had come to Shanya and secretly arranged a rendezvous with some other girl.
