Chapter 442: Chapter 246: Mage: I’ll Handle Chen Jincheng This Time
He thought again about him borrowing the car, and his supposed self-discipline in leaving so early.
’Damn, self-discipline my ass. He obviously drove out for a tryst.’
’And the fact that he’s sneaking around like this proves it’s something that can’t see the light of day.’
’He really lives up to his reputation as the internet’s number one scumbag. The guy really knows how to play.’
The car soon arrived at the Hyatt Hotel, and Chen Jincheng immediately sent a message to the young teacher.
Li Suwan was already waiting in the hotel lobby, wearing a face mask for fear of being recognized after her dance videos had blown up over the past couple of days.
But it was obvious that even with the mask, her peach-like figure still attracted the gazes of the men entering and exiting the hotel lobby.
’Honestly, with a body like that, even if her face were covered in pockmarks, you could enjoy that for a year... no, you wouldn’t get tired of it even after two.’
After receiving Chen Jincheng’s message, Li Suwan immediately pulled her luggage out of the hotel and saw Chen Jincheng in the sports car outside.
When Chen Jincheng saw the young teacher emerge, he thoughtfully got out, took her suitcase, placed it in the car, and then invited her to get in.
Zhu Zhen started the car again.
Li Suwan took off her mask.
At that moment, Xue Qian was surprised, because he recognized her. Her dance video was on the trending list today.
’And her dancing really was quite good.’
He turned to look at Chen Jincheng with a scrutinizing gaze, and then it clicked.
’There’s clearly something going on between them, so it’s no wonder Lao Cheng would plan a dance routine for this Li Suwan.’
’No wonder every dance video she uploads goes viral. It turns out she has a powerful man backing her.’
Chen Jincheng noticed Xue Qian’s stare and immediately explained, "Old Xue, what’s with that look? Teacher Li is a dance instructor, and I need to ask her for some advice on dancing. We just happen to be heading to Su Jiang at the same time. So, don’t get the wrong idea. There’s nothing going on between us."
"..." Xue Qian didn’t want to answer.
’He’s sneaking out every night to meet her, and he claims there’s nothing going on?’
’But he had no intention of calling him out on it.’
They soon arrived at the airport. It wasn’t long before they got a reply from Sujiang TV; the plane tickets had been arranged for them.
After picking up their tickets and clearing security, the group hurried onto the plane and headed straight for Su Jiang.
...
Sujiang TV’s music festival had actually been promoted for a long time, but since the major TV stations hadn’t yet established a presence on Tiao Yin, not many people on the platform were talking about it.
Besides, the tens of thousands of tickets for the festival had already sold out, so there was no need for excessive promotion. All that was left was to wait for the festival to start and then broadcast it as scheduled.
Naturally, the ticket holders were most concerned about the lineup of guests. The fact that two stars had suddenly been arrested immediately caught everyone’s attention.
Many people were curious about who would be replacing them.
But no one ever expected the replacements to be Xue Qian and Chen Jincheng.
Xue Qian alone was enough to elevate the quality of the music festival by a whole level. Adding Chen Jincheng was even better, as he had also released many songs.
Songs like "Can’t Help Falling in Love" and "Little Dimples" were especially beloved by many.
Other guests also noticed the change in the lineup. Among them was Master Yu, who had bad blood with both men, and he naturally found out immediately that they were the replacements.
"It’s really those two?" Master Yu asked his assistant, a look of delighted surprise on his face.
The reason for his delight was, of course, that the music festival was a live event. It was all about an artist’s stage performance and who had stronger stage presence—and that was his forte.
In this kind of live or competitive performance, not even Xue Qian was a match for him.
After all, Xue Qian had already lost to him in a live competition.
So that went double for Chen Jincheng. The guy was just an internet celebrity. What kind of live performance skills could he possibly have? He’d probably never even participated in a music festival on the level of a major TV network.
’As long as my live performance is more explosive and gets the crowd more hyped than theirs, it’s a win.’
His assistant confirmed with a nod. "It’s them. The list has already been announced."
"Perfect." Master Yu clenched his fist in excitement.
’This time, I’ll put that Chen Jincheng in his place and finally have my moment of triumph!’
