Chapter 354
"He probably wants to annoy me by making people feel that even a random singer can be better
than me," Huang Kaiqin replied.
However, she didn''t care. It didn''t matter whether she suffered or not. It wasn''t as important as her
fans.
After being retired for a few years, she had returned and realized that the entertainment industry
was no longer the same. Now, it was the world of the fans. She had to protect her fans'' feelings and
not let them down.
Ye Leiwen was indeed very inexperienced at the beginning. However, she quickly got into character.
She spat out a lot of lines. Not only was she angry, but she was also confused about her life and
emotions. Why did she work so hard for her family, when in the end, she couldn''t get their
understanding? Why did her husband have to be distracted?
It was hard for her to calm down, and the torment was obvious in her eyes. Her acting skills were
not particrly outstanding, but she had personal experience of such events. So she understood
the misery and confusion of women of this age.
Therge paragraph of lines was even recited without any hesitation. With the foundation of a
singer, her pronunciation was clear and her words were not impeded at all.
The director''s assistant was stunned for a moment. He secretly gave her a thumbs up in his heart.
He had originally thought that such singers needed teleprompters to sing, but now it seemed that it
was purely done through memorization.
The director and assistant director talked for a while, then, the director said to Liu Ning, "1 think
Teacher Ye is alright. If possible..."
"I''ll go talk to her," said Liu Ning.
The director nodded. Ye Leiwen''s acting skills were indeed inferior to Huang Kaiqin''s. However, it
was rare for a person to have suchpatibility with lines like these. Even Huang Kaiqin had not
managed to get this part. She had been acting for a long time and knew how to save energy. Even if
she had the acting skills, she still gave people the feeling that she was a wily old fox and was not
invested enough in her roles.
Ye Leiwen, on the other hand, waspletely devoted to her work. Naturally, her emotional
abundance was different.
Ye Leiwen had acted based on anger just now. When she saw Liu Ning walking over, she sounded
a little tense. "Lroducer Liu, how was it?"
"Teacher Ye, is your manager here? Let''s talk in detail."
"He''s in the capital. I''ll call him right away!" Ye Leiwen said immediately.
She finished her call and went to Shi Jin. Shi Jin smiled and said, "Teacher Ye, congrattions."
"Shi Jin, I realized that whenever I meet you, I get especially lucky."
"God helps those who help themselves."
Ye Leiwen felt at ease after hearing her words. "When

I''ve settled on the job, I''ll definitely treat you to a meal."
Shi Jin smiled and said gently, "Sure."
Liu Ning and Ye Peiwen''s manager soon met.
Thest time they finalized the theme song, the two of them had already met and had a certain
understanding of each other. So facing this new task,munication was smooth and fast.
The manager was very humble. "As for Teacher Ye, she really doesn''t film much and is not as
experienced as her in singing. I hope Producer Liu and the director will give her some pointers.
Teacher Ye also wants to improve, so she shouldn''t be afraid of wasting time."
It had not been easy for Ye Peiwen to re-enter the industry and get a job, so she had an
enthusiastic attitude. Her manager made use of this to get her to improve.
After the matter was settled, Liu Ning quickly announced the news of Ye Peiwen''s role and posted a
photo.
This matter naturally attracted the discussion of fans.
Ye Peiwen''s photoshoot actually looked better than Huang Kaiqin''s. This was also something the
public had not expected.
"I didn''t expect Teacher Ye to be so pretty. I have to watch this show."
"So this is the Ye Peiwen woman who''ll rece Huang Kaiqin?"
"Speaking of which, Ye Peiwen is a few years older than Huang Kaiqin, but the former looks
younger than thetter."
"This show is actually quite good. Just by looking at the introduction, I can tell that it''s a good script.
With Liu Ning''s supervision, I think the quality is guaranteed. No wonder everyone is fighting so
hard over it."
Huang Kaiqin had quickly been reced. When she saw that Ye Leiwen had reced her, she
could not help but feel uneasy.
There were many discussions in the outside world, and everyone was saying that she was inferior
to Ye Leiwen.
She was not in a good mood. Fortunately, she still had something.
***
Not long after Shi Jin''s song was released, there was a small break.
Huang Kaiqin''s assistant posted a video and immediately deleted it, but as Huang Kaiqin''s
assistant, she had hundreds of thousands of followers on Weibo.
Even though she had deleted the video instantly, someone saved it on the spot. Then, they saw the
content of the video.
In the video, Shi Jin was standing to one side. There was another woman with her face obscured
ying a piano piece from Shi Jin''s "Fairytale".
Huang Kaiqin''s assistant quickly posted on Weibo: "I''m sorry everyone, I originally wanted to share
a part of Teacher Huang''s daily life to the fans, but my hand slipped and I sent the wrong video. My
bad, I''m guilty, please scold me as much as you want, but the video is private, please have mercy
and delete the video I sent by mistake. Llease don''t watch it, and don''t forward it."
The more she said this, the more curious everyone became. Some people who had never seen this
video expressed their desire to know what the content was.
Those who had saved the video posted it.
No one took Huang Kaiqin''s assistant''s words to heart and started watching. Then, someone asked,
"Why did Huang Kaiqin''s assistant react so strongly after sending this video and repeatedly
apologize and beg everyone not to watch it?"
"It''s because this is Shi Jin''s video after all. It''s normal for people not to watch or forward it when it''s
been sent wrongly."
However, there were still people who had different opinions. "I feel that things might not be that
simple. There''s nothing important about a small video. After all, it''s no secret that Shi Jin made a
cameo appearance in ''Twilight Years''."
"That''s right!"
"That''s not right. In this video, it''s obvious that Shi Jin is not ying the piano. However, this part
just happens to be the piano sound that Shi Jin used. I have reason to suspect that Shi Jin does not
know how to y the piano, and is deliberately creating hype about herself ying it."
Shi Jin''s fans could not stand this any longer. "ying the piano is very simple. There''s no need to
doubt her, right?"
Fans: "That''s right. Shi Jin even knows how to y the guitar. Isn''t it very simple to y the piano? I
don''t know if you''ve yed the piano before, but it''s not hard."
Passerby: "Who knows? Shi Jin said that she yed the piano, but that''s not her in the vid. This is
very suspicious."
An anti-fan: "If you can''t even y the piano yourself, then many other things are probably also
faked."
"If Shi Jin has a clear conscience, why is Huang Kaiqin''s assistant so nervous?"
One fan was so angry that sheughed. "You''re saying that Shi Jin doesn''t have a clear conscience
after what others did?"
Fans: "What do you mean she doesn''t know how to y the piano? You think she needs someone
to rece her?"
The anti-fan: "Anyway, this is very suspicious. I have reason to suspect that Shi Jin is a fraud!"
Then, a person named "EatCarrotsButNotVegetables" publicly posted a long Weibo post:
"As far as I know, Shi Jin and Producer Liu from ''The Age of Immortality'' have always had a good
rtionship. This might be based on the fact that Producer Liu and Li Juekai worked together
before. After that, Shi Jin rmended Ye Peiwen, the guest who had sung for her in "Ultimate
Singer Songwriter". Ye Peiwen then reced Huang Kaiqin. I suspected that Shi Jin found out that
Huang Kaiqin knew that she had hired someone to y the piano for her, so she deliberately
introduced Ye Peiwen to him. I don''t know if that''s what everyone else thinks, but anyway, I''ve
sorted out what happened in my mind and I think it''s pretty reasonable."
"Everyone just needs to take a look. People feel that an artist from a talent show is not as innocent
and harmless as they may appear on the surface. In just half a year, I''ve learned everything about
the entertainment industry. It''s really impressive."
When this long Weibo post was published, it attributed the reason for Huang Kaiqin''s departure to
Shi Jin.
Remaining neutral, Huang Kaiqin became an innocent person who had been reced.
Actually, with just a little thought, one could tell that Huang Kaiqin was a wealthydy now and had
strong backing. How could such ordinary methods deal with her? However, as long as someone
believed it, it meant that the method was sessful.
Huang Kaiqin''s own logical chain of departure smoothly shifted the me to Shi Jin.
Right after that, everyone started to doubt Shi Jin''s ability to y the piano. Why did she need
someone to rece her? Was the music that everyone heard from the single really hers or
someone else''s?

A few hot searches began trending.
Huang Kaiqin was naturally not afraid of everyone digging deeper. She had not really had a falling
out with the production team, and her methods were very secretive, so no one could find fault with
her, but as for Shi Jin... She had seen Shi Jin on set for a long time and had never seen her y the
piano. She was probably lying.
