As for sending tickets to his other sons and daughters-in-law?

Even if they went, it would be because they did not want to make him unhappy. They would not really be going to cheer for Tan Jinsheng.

So why waste the tickets.

It would be better to leave them for Tan Jinsheng’s fans.

Hence, Old Mister only asked for four tickets.

Tan Mo kept two final battle night tickets for Ming Yeqing and Qin Muye.

Because Tan Mo had insider information that many guests would be there on final battle night, and it was going to be very exciting.

So Qin Muye would not miss it for the world.

If Qin Muye wanted to go, Ming Yeqing would naturally follow.

Backstage, Tan Jinsheng and the other three guests were putting on makeup.

After spending so much time together, they had become more familiar with each other.

They chatted while putting on makeup, and were all relaxed.

The other three were prepared. They knew that Tan Jinsheng had a high chance of becoming the champion, so they were all very calm.

“Shi, who did you invite as your co-singer?” Jiang Hanyu asked with a smile, “It’s fine that you hid it so strictly earlier. But now that we’re about to go on stage, there’s no need to hide anymore. Even if you tell us now, what more can we do?”

Shi Menggiao smiled as she replied, “I didn’t hide it on purpose. I only just managed to confirm one. The friend I invited previously was poached by Singing Voice with high fees. It wasn’t easy for me to find this friend of mine. I wasn’t hiding it before. I really couldn’t find anyone, and didn’t have a name to

tell you.”

“What a coincidence,” Jiang Hanyu said, “The first friend I found had also initially agreed to come. Actually, come to think of it, he can’t be considered a friend. We’d worked together before and exchanged contact details. I had my agent ask if he was willing to perform with me. Besides, it was an

opportunity for him to promote himself on stage as well.”

“Who would have thought that after agreeing to come, just before signing the contract, he was suddenly poached by Singing Voice. I had to frantically look for someone to save the day. I was really in a terrible fix then,” Jiang Hanyu recounted, “I approached so many people, and finally Liu Shinai agreed to

help. So I’m especially grateful to him. He’s really been a big help.”

“Looks like I wasn’t the only one with such a situation,” Peng Yunning said in surprise, “At first, I thought I was the only one with such bad luck. The guest who had agreed to come was suddenly invited by Singing Voice.”

Shi Menggiao and Jiang Hanyu turned to look at him, “Your guest was poached too?”

“Yeah.” Because his hair was being styled, Peng Yunning did not dare to move. They could tell that he was trying to respond by nodding his head vigorously.

But as soon as he moved, he remembered that his hair was being done. So he did not dare to move again. He could only shift his eyeballs and try to look at Shi Menggqiao and Jiang Hanyu.

“I thought I was the only one with bad luck. If it was the same for everyone, then Singing Voice must have done it on purpose,” Peng Yunning said.

“It was on purpose,” Shi Menggiao said unhappily, “That show just can’t bear to lose.”

“My dear sister, be careful about word getting out,” Jiang Hanyu reminded her.

‘They were not the only ones present. Stylists were there too.

They did not have the money to employ a stylist full-time.

‘They only hired them whenever they needed them.

Now that they were participating in more activities and variety shows, they even had the money to hire famous stylists.

But their careers had only just experienced an upturn, after all. They were not like artistes who had been popular for a long time, who had long-term, good relationships with their stylists.

They had just started using famous stylists and did not have stable relationships with them yet.

‘They were not fixed clients of these stylists either.

They could only afford to invite whoever was available.

On the other hand, stylists came into contact with lots of artistes on a regular basis.

They could be styling one artiste today, and another the next day.

It would be really bad if one day, a stylist got caught up in a conversation with another artiste, and accidentally passed on the words Shi Menggiao had said.

Those artistes would have no obligation to keep Shi Mengqiao’s words a secret.

Or they might accidentally spread those words to Ge Guangzhen.

If people had nothing better to do, they might spread it to others as gossip. If it kept going around, those words might reach Ge Guangzhen in the end.

Given how narrow-minded Ge Guangzhen was, wouldn’t he try to make things difficult for Shi Mengqiao?

However, they were not worried about Tan Jinsheng leaking those words out.

The show had been recording for a long time, so they had heard.

Back then, Singing Voice had invited Tan Jinsheng, but they looked down on him.

It was not clear what exactly had happened, but both sides were very unhappy.

‘That was why Tan Jinsheng joined I Sing.

Shi Shulei did not keep it a secret either.

The creativity behind I Sing was Tan Mo’s idea.

The Tan Family had also provided a lot of support during the pre-broadcast promotions.

It was clearly to oppose Ge Guangzhen.

Tan Jinqi had no need or reason to pick a fight with Ge Guangzhen again.

Come to think of it, it was also quite hilarious.

Even with the Tan Family behind Tan Jinsheng, Ge Guangzhen still did not take him seriously.

It seemed that Ge Guangzhen was not actually very smart.

Jiang Hanyu had already done a good deed by reminding Shi Menggiao.

He did not dare to say Ge Guangzhen’s name directly.

After all, his career had only just started to get better. He did not dare to offend anyone easily.

Even if the first guest he invited was specifically targeted by Singing Voice, he did not dare to say anything.

“Oh right, Jinsheng. Did Singing Voice poach your guest?” Peng Yunning asked.

“I don’t know if they’ve tried. But even if they want to, they won’t be able to poach my guest.” They were his own seniors, after all.

Ge Guangzhen knew that Liu Jingshen, Ji Jiayi and Lu Xiangchen were Tan Jinsheng’s seniors.

But given Ge Guangzhen’s shamelessness, he would probably attempt to poach them even while knowing that.

Whether he could succeed or not, he had to try.

His seniors had not said anything. He had not considered that it could happen either, so he had not asked.

‘When the other three guests heard this, it brought to mind how Tan Jinsheng was invited as a guest.

They thought about how Tan Jinsheng had the Tan Family behind him, how Ge Guangzhen initiated the invitation of Tan Jinsheng, and how both parties were not happy in the end.

Ge Guangzhen might not have known then.

But he definitely knew now, and probably did not dare to provoke him now.

‘The three of them were very envious.

Having a good family background made things easier.

The road to success was much easier than for others.

“Speaking of which, who did you invite as your guest?” Jiang Hanyu asked.

“It was said earlier that we only needed to invite one,” Peng Yunning said, “Later, for unknown reasons, the rule was changed. They said we could invite up to five people. If we couldn’t invite that many, we could just invite a few. As long as we didn’t exceed five.”

Shi Shulei and the others had arranged it this way. They were afraid that if they told the guests that they could only invite up to three people, it would be too obvious.

And then, when Tan Jinsheng and his three seniors appeared, wouldn’t everyone find out what was going on at one glance?

Shi Shulei thought it would not look good on them if it was too obvious.

They should at least attempt to cover up. So they set the rule at five people..
