Chapter 2215 - 2218: The Choice of the Stunning Film Empress

Early the next morning, as dawn broke, a light drizzle began to fall. At Beijing Airport, the stunning film queen, Song Weiyin, who had just gotten off her flight, watched her team members board the bus that came to pick them up before getting into her own nanny car.

"Weiyin, have you really decided to help Shen Qiang at this moment? This means you're officially on bad terms with him, and the Cultivation World will soon know," her female assistant said.

The stunning film queen, Song Weiyin, smiled and said, "Do you think I have a choice now? Even if we don't come, it would only be a case of covering one's ears while stealing a bell. The Cultivation World already knows that Gong Ziyi and Shen Qiang are at odds because of me. If we don't step up to help the Mermaid Qian Ning and Shen Qiang now, it will make others think that I'm playing both sides."

The female assistant frowned and, after a moment of silence, said, "But Shen Qiang can't win this time. I've already contacted those composers connected to us; they've all been warned by Gong Ziyi's company not to help Shen Qiang write songs, not to help Qian Ning."

Song Weiyin smiled charmingly and said, "Shen Qiang will win, because if he wasn't confident in winning, he wouldn't have called me."

The female assistant frowned and said, "Weiyin, weakness and ignorance have never been barriers to survival, but arrogance is. Today is the final eight showdown. As per the rules, songs sung yesterday can't be sung again. Gong Ziyi's side has a host of singer-songwriters with top-tier music creation teams, while Shen Qiang doesn't have a makeup artist or stylist and requires you to help find them."

The stunning film queen, Song Weiyin, said, "Shen Qiang is outstanding, and Qian Ning is a hall-level soul singer. They have a chance to win."

The female assistant frowned and said, "Everyone knows that delicacies are delicious, but the most sold are rice, cakes, and noodles. Shen Qiang is indeed excellent and exceptionally talented, but this time he's overreaching. The music industry's waters are deep, and someone like Qian Ning, a top-tier hall-level singer, only got eighth place in such a small competition, which speaks volumes."

The film queen, Song Weiyin, laughed and said, "Mei Jie, what exactly do you want to say?"

The female assistant hesitated for a moment and said, "A steward of Gong Ziyi has taken people to Grandma's place."

Song Weiyin was stunned: "What did you say?"

The female assistant hesitated again and said, "That's Gong Ziyi's threat. He still doesn't want to tear apart completely with you, so he places people at Grandma's to remind you that he can control everything."

The stunning film queen, Song Weiyin, was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Mei Jie, do you remember what you said was my biggest flaw?"

Looking at her assistant's surprised expression, the stunning film queen, Song Weiyin, said, "Following others' arrangements, that's my biggest flaw, but it's also the key to my success. Grandma said, if I truly refuse to be with Gong Ziyi, then I only have two choices: either I live incognito and go far away, or I stay with Shen Qiang."

"I chose the latter." The stunning film queen, Song Weiyin, smiled: "So now, whether Shen Qiang can beat Gong Ziyi, I don't care. What I need to do is help Shen Qiang to the best of my abilities, help those he wants to help, and nothing else matters to me."

The female assistant sighed upon hearing this and said, "Got it. In that case, today's quarterfinal showdown?"

"Today's team must be present in full. Whatever they need to do during my performances, let them do the same for Qian Ning because Shen Qiang wants her to win!"

The female assistant laughed: "Got it, rest assured, our people are the best!"

Time quickly flew by, and it was 9 a.m.

Because of Jinli Qianning's song "Nostalgia" the day before, the TV station was packed to the brim.

Managers, record labels, and various big names from the music industry were all gathered, making the studio, which usually needed to pay for audiences, already filled to capacity early.

Plus, without connections or status, one shouldn't even hope to get in.

At 9:10 a.m.

When Gong Ziyi arrived at the TV station entrance with Ai Ruoling, whom he was vigorously promoting, he was met by Shen Qiang, who had also brought Qian Ning.

Upon seeing Shen Qiang, Gong Ziyi raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Shen Qiang, did you sleep well last night? I heard that Song Weiyin is helping you contact some very excellent composers in the music circle, but unfortunately, it seems they are reluctant to take your job, huh?"

Hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "There's such a thing? Just wanted to test if you've been up to any tricks behind the scenes, and discovered your actions were exactly as I predicted. You're so eager to win and thus destined to fail because the person really writing songs for Qian Ning is me."

Instantly, Gong Ziyi was stunned, then burst out laughing, "You? Write songs? Do you even understand solfège?"

Shen Qiang smiled, "You'll soon find out."

Gong Ziyi laughed.

Beside him, Ai Ruoling grinned, showing her back teeth: "Ha ha ha, what a joke, thinking you can beat me? Our Gongzi hired seven top mainstream music producers to collaborate on my song, and yours probably won't even compare to 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.'"

Her laughter made Shen Qiang frown slightly, "Miss, put your back teeth away. You don't know me, and you don't know if I'm an excellent composer. Laughing here is just making a fool of yourself."

"Ha? Acting as though you're more skilled than those famous musicians under Gong Zi, alright, let's see what you can do. Win first, then talk," Ai Ruoling sneered, glancing at Shen Qiang with a proud face.

Qian Ning, hearing this, coldly said, "Shen Qiang's song isn't perfect, but it's enough to beat you all."

"Tsk, tsk, whether the song is good, who knows, but the bragging sure started early. Come on, I'm waiting," Ai Ruoling proudly took a brand-new tote bag from an assistant and sneered, "Just look at yourself, so shabby. Haha, which man would be blind enough to fancy a woman like you?"

Qian Ning's face turned cold.

At the same time, Ai Ruoling gave a coquettish smile to Gong Ziyi and said, "Gong Zi, let's go. I'm going to be a big star, no point talking to someone who can't even afford an assistant, it's degrading."

Upon hearing this, Gong Ziyi laughed teasingly, "Mr. Shen, that's your fault. If you're so broke that you can't even afford to get an assistant for Miss Qian Ning, just let me know. I'm a generous person and wouldn't mind lending you a couple of people to help out."

Shen Qiang smiled, "There's no need for you to worry. I only hire the best." Glancing at Ai Ruoling beside Gong Ziyi, Shen Qiang smiled, "Those not up to standard don't catch my eye."

Upon hearing this, Ai Ruoling became displeased, "Oh, speaking so highly, let's see the assistants you've found for her. Don't tell me they're from the job market for 200 yuan a day?"

Shen Qiang smiled.

At that moment, a luxury business bus arrived, and upon just one glance at that vehicle, Gong Ziyi's expression turned grim.
