Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 389: Chapter 388: Never Taking the Conventional Path [3rd Update, 23k Bonus for Recommendations]

Upon hearing the coaches’ questions.

Wu Mei quickly waved her hands: ”How can I be a music teacher? I am a PE teacher!”

Upon hearing this answer.

”Pfft!”

The audience, who were drinking water at the time, spewed out god knows how much.

PE teacher?

You, a PE teacher, can sing like that?

You’re really defying the heavens!

And to think, such a PE teacher is such a chubby girl.

Lu Xiaobu actually dared to let her perform on stage, even letting her be the opening act?

Just for this, they had no choice but to admire Lu Xiaobu’s courage to be a pioneer!

Fang Li was also stunned.

What?

What did you say!?

You’re a PE teacher!?

Jia Yi’s interest was piqued, her curiosity fully aroused: ”Then who did you learn music from?”

Wu Mei blinked: ”I never learned, I just sing randomly. They always say I sing horribly, so I sing to them every day!”

Hearing this reply, everyone at the scene burst into laughter.

This chubby girl really has a great attitude!

Just like in the song, she still has her true self!

She is glory!

At this moment, Chen Wen slapped the chair: ”Regardless if you teach PE or shot put, I’m going to pick you, don’t hesitate, come to my team. Among the few coaches here, I’m the only one who sings rock, I can offer you more help than they can.”

Grandma Jia Yi slightly turned her head, raising her eyebrows: ”Wow, the fight for her starts now, huh?”

Chen Wen laughed: ”Little Wu, remember I was the first to clap!”

At this point, Sun Wanqi spoke up: ”Hey, did I just hear someone say that there’s only one rock singer among the coaches?”

She rubbed her ears, as if she hadn’t heard clearly.

The audience laughed again.

It’s starting to heat up!

Chen Wen broke into a sweat: ”...”

I forgot about this powerhouse.

Sun Wanqi tilted her head: ”Old Chen, I seem to remember when I sang rock, you hadn’t even debuted yet, right?”

Her words were indeed factual, although Sun Wanqi was around the same age as Chen Guang.

But, she debuted much earlier.

Otherwise, why do you think so many people call her Sister Sun.

Chen Wen helplessly said: ”Sister Sun, but you’ve now switched to singing love songs and ballads.”

Sun Wanqi smiled: ”But my rock foundations haven’t faded.”

Then she looked at Wu Mei: ”Moreover, we’re both women, so come to my team, Little Wu.”

Chen Wen quickly said: ”Little Wu, come here, I can provide you comprehensive help!”

Wu Mei was hesitating.

Fang Li suddenly spoke up, pointing at her husband: ”He knows them, I know them, whatever help he can give you, I can too!”

Chen Wen glared: ”I can guide her in rock, you don’t even sing rock!”

Fang Li firmly said: ”Little Wu, join my team, if I can’t teach you, I’ll let Old Chen teach you!”

Chen Wen nearly fainted: ”You! You’re just—”

Fang Li insisted firmly: ”You must let her choose me!”

”Impossible! Don’t even think about it!” Chen Wen huffed.

Fang Li glared, and actually got up from her chair: ”Say that again.”

Sun Wanqi leaned aside: ”Oh boy, it’s getting heated, I want to step back!”

The audience burst into laughter!

Jia Yi smiled at Sun Wanqi: ”Aren’t these two the model couple of the entertainment industry?”

”Before coming here, they were.” Sun Wanqi smiled: ”After recording this episode, who knows!”

”Ha ha ha!” The audience burst into laughter again!

How exciting!

Such clowns!

Truly worthy of a show organized by Young Master Bu!

This coaches’ fight over a contestant is as entertaining as the contestants’ performances!

It’s really heating up!

It’s really kicking off!

In other talent shows, coaches are usually all amicable with one another.

In some shows, if a coach has their eyes set on a contestant, the others usually don’t compete, at most they might joke about it a bit.

Or, in some talent shows, there’s simply no segment like this, and mentors just pick contestants directly, targeting specific individuals, or they divide them into male, female, or older groups with each mentor managing one team, without any competition for contestants!

”Heavenly Dynasty’s The Voice” clearly subverts this tradition of talent shows by boldly adding the segment of mentors ”brawling” over contestants—a concept so daring that others can hardly imagine, which immediately excited the audience!

Jia Yi—a veteran singing artist!

Sun Wanqi—a popular Queen of Heaven!

Chen Wen and Fang Li—this ideal couple!

A singing artist and the Queen of Heaven at odds?

A fierce battle between role-model couple?

Could it be any more thrilling!

Could it be any more... spectacular!

*cough cough* Just love watching this!

Only Lu Xiaobu dares to play like this!

Backstage!

Zhang Feng exclaimed in surprise, ”What are the mentors...”

Elder Wang wiped sweat from his forehead: ”So, this is how they fight over contestants!”

The staff from other program departments were also stunned as they watched!

Lu Xiaobu had included the mentor-contestant scramble in their proposal.

But only Liang Lan knew exactly how it was supposed to be executed.

Resulting in an unexpectedly effective scene like this!

It’s really about snatching!

It’s really about fighting!

Nie, the station manager, couldn’t help but run back, his eyes shining with surprise.

No need to ask, the scene definitely wasn’t a spontaneous idea from the mentors.

Because such a scramble for contestants has never been seen in other talent shows.

This was clearly commanded by Lu Xiaobu and executed by Liang Lan!

Judging by Liang Lan’s attitude of executing Lu Xiaobu’s commands with 120% accuracy.

She might have already discussed privately with the four mentors more than once about how to fight and snatch, leading to this unexpectedly dramatic scene!

It can actually be done like this!

This is indeed possible!

He was absolutely convinced!

Lu Xiaobu’s ideas are always wildly imaginative yet explosively effective!

Chen Wen exclaimed, ”Wu Mei! I can’t wait any longer!”

Fang Li smilingly said, ”Think carefully, Wu Mei. I think you can tell who calls the shots at home between the two of us.”

Chen Wen: ”...”

The audience started to heckle.

”Oh!”

”Ha ha!”

Sun Wanqi stirred things up from the sidelines: ”Old Chen, if I were you, I definitely couldn’t endure this!”

Chen Wen slammed his hand on the chair: ”I can’t hold back anymore, my wife is usually so gentle at home, but she transforms when she’s here!”

Fang Li responded, ”That’s because Wu Mei’s voice is what I’ve been longing for! Everyone else can step aside, but not Wu Mei!”

By the end, Jia Yi said to Sun Wanqi, ”Well, it seems like there’s no role for us mothers here.”

Sun Wanqi just watched the couple bicker without intervening further, then checked the time and took control of the pace: ”Wu Mei, make your decision.”

Chen Wen, seeing an opportunity, thought about sneaking in a last move.

Unexpectedly, Fang Li launched a preemptive strike, holding her stomach: ”Oh dear, this is making me furious!”

”Pfft!”

Chen Wen was so taken aback he almost choked on his own blood.

This is too much, using their son as leverage!

So.

He simply raised his hand in surrender: ”Alright, alright, I give up; Wu Mei, choose my wife! If she can’t teach you, I will!”

Fang Li immediately flashed a triumphant ’V’ sign, her stomach pain suddenly gone!

The scene erupted into laughter.

Looks like Fang Li was the more cunning one!

Now that matters had come to this pass, Wu Mei had no other choice.

She had to choose coach Fang Li.

After excitedly thanking everyone, she exited the stage.

Thus, the first contestant to advance in ”The Voice” was born!

Wu Mei left backstage, and the four mentors’ seats slowly turned back.

The audience, energized as if invigorated, was on the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating the next contestant’s performance.

Earlier disbelief had long been swept away!

”The Voice,” orchestrated by Lu Xiaobu, was exactly what they wanted!
