At this moment.
Whether it was the main branch of Gong Shixiong Hot Pot or other branches, all received a notification.
They were asked to tune their televisions, which were playing programs in the stores, to the show "Singer Countdown."
Everyone was willing to cooperate.
Although Gong Juren was a rich second-generation, aside from being a bit arrogant, he was very good to the employees.
He often gave benefits to the staff.
All the employees of the Gong Shixiong chain were fans of Gong Juren.
...
Not only them.
Although Qingda University was on vacation, the students were still paying attention to this program.
After all, Gong Juren was one of the most popular singers at Qingda, second only to Lin Yanyu.
Moreover, at school, he had already earned the nickname "Little Junior Brother."
Especially his rich second-generation identity, which made him deeply liked by the senior sisters.
"Qingda Senior Sisters, cheer for Little Junior Brother!"
"Fellow Qingda people!"
"Protect our Little Junior Brother!"
"I heard he's singing another song by Ting Yu again. It seems Ting Yu also favors our Little Junior Brother."
"Only Little Junior Brother can sing two Ting Yu songs!"
"..."
Most of the students at Qingda were watching the live broadcast.
As these people poured in, the popularity of the live broadcast room also increased.
...
The internal group of Shuangqing City.
At the same moment, it also exploded.
"Brothers, it's starting!"
"Been watching the live stream for a while."
"What do you think the level of the ancient-style song will be this time?"
"Hard to say. Ting Yu releases songs faster than a production team's sow. With such high output, the quality of the songs might be affected, right?"
"You're too young. If Ting Yu could be affected by these things, he wouldn't be Ting Yu!"
"That's right, other types of songs might have this possibility, but for ancient style, Ting Yu has already achieved godhood."
"Are you hyping him up too much?"
"It seems this brother is new here."
"Huh? There's a newcomer, everyone quickly bully him!"
"Haha, let me tell you, when this group is usually dead, if you just say 'Ting Yu,' it will instantly liven up."
"Also, when everyone is chatting enthusiastically, if you just say 'Ting Yu,' the group will fall silent instantly."
"Holy cow, that's too real!"
"At this moment, how can we not @ Zhao Zhicheng @ Li Yunchuan @ Zhang Wei?"
"Damn, I'm getting caught up in the melon-eating! Digging up my grave is too much! I, Zhao Zhicheng, am convinced. I'm now a brainless fan of Ting Yu!"
"...I, Li Yunchuan, strongly condemn the grave-digging!"
"My name is Zhang Wei, I'm at Xinghui, and I'm very comfortable right now."
"..."
...
"Singer Countdown" is considered a veteran variety show.
Because it's on a local channel, the popularity is only average.
However, the current popularity of "Singer Countdown" is countless times higher than any previous season.
The biggest reason for this is Ting Yu's previous Weibo post asking for votes.
The production team also knew this, so they gave more resources, riding the wave of this popularity to create buzz.
However, it seems that a small program like this is not qualified to ride Ting Yu's popularity.
After posting a few Weibo posts to gain attention, they were so heavily criticized that they had to disable comments.
Despite the flood of insults, the popularity did rise.
Getting famous through insults is still getting famous.
And Gong Juren, upon learning that Su Yu had asked for votes for him, was so moved that he couldn't sleep all night.
He flipped through his memo, which was filled with Su Yu's usual likes and dislikes.
He vowed to remember these things, to engrave them into his soul.
Every detail, he would keep in mind!
...
On stage.
Gong Juren thought of Su Yu again.
Brother Yu valued him so much that his second Weibo post was to ask for votes for him.
I, Gong Juren, must take this opportunity to thank him properly!
Thinking of this.
His eyes turned red.
The hand holding the microphone also trembled slightly.
"Hello everyone, my name is Gong Juren. The reason I made it to the finals is not only because I am more excellent than others, but also because I want to specially thank one person!"
After speaking, he looked straight ahead, and Su Yu's figure flashed in his mind.
His slightly red eyes began to well up with tears of emotion.
"Since childhood, I have lived in a different family from everyone else. Poverty, I couldn't afford to eat, and I struggled to make a living..."
As soon as he said this, a wave of boos erupted from the audience.
"Here he comes, here he comes, another script of begging for sympathy by playing the victim."
"In today's competitions, do you feel embarrassed to go on stage without playing the victim?"
"This kind of routine is too outdated, isn't it?"
"That's right, it's disgusting to gain sympathy!"
"What era is this? Which brainless planner came up with this script? It would have been better if he didn't say anything."
"This is no fun..."
The audience shook their heads.
Whether it was a talent show or a competition, there was basically this kind of victim-playing script.
Audiences had seen enough of this, and now they would feel extremely disgusted as soon as they heard it.
"Heh, this kind of thing isn't popular anymore!"
Ah Shen sneered from the side.
He knew that as soon as Gong Juren uttered these words, he had already lost before he even started.
Alas, winning this championship is really too easy...
However, Gong Juren ignored the boos from below, paused, and continued, "Poverty, not being able to afford to eat, struggling to make a living... I haven't experienced any of these."
"Because, since I was young, my family has been too wealthy."
Audience: ???
"I lived in a villa of several hundred square meters every day, and I even had to go upstairs and downstairs just to eat."
"When I went out, I was always driven by a chauffeur."
"If it got late at night, I didn't have to rush home in the dark, because my family had houses in every district of Shuangqing City, and everywhere was my home."
"It is precisely because I have too many houses that I feel very lost, unable to feel the warmth of a family like ordinary people, and unable to find direction in life."
Audience: ???
Ah Shen: ???
Judges: ???
"Even that's not all, my family also runs a hot pot restaurant. There are our stores everywhere along the roadside, so I've grown up eating from many different families since I was a child. I've never experienced the warmth of ordinary home-cooked meals." Da Feng Novel Network
Everyone: ???
"Alas... Not only that, but I'm also so handsome, and I've been a popular figure in school since I was young, with everyone doting on me."
"Actually, I know I don't deserve it, because apart from being rich and handsome, I have nothing else."
"I hate myself for lacking substance, I hate myself for lacking talent, I hate myself for having a good-looking shell but nothing inside!"
As his emotions ran high, his words were deeply moving!
At this point, tears streamed down Gong Juren's face.
The entire show venue, as well as the live broadcast room, were filled with question marks.
What kind of person would say such things?
How dare you cry??
Lacking substance?
With all that you have, what more substance do you need!!!
Hello, 911, there's someone here showing off, and the situation is about to get out of control!
"Just when I felt life was dull and meaningless, a person appeared. He was like a bright lamp in my dark life, allowing me to find my direction in life."
"It was him who led me onto the path of being a singer!"
"It was him who made my dull life wonderful!"
"This person is my benefactor, and also my best brother, Ting Yu!"
Boom!
As he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.
There were also crazed shouts and cries.
Amidst the crying.
There was three parts emotion, three parts jealousy, and four parts envy...
