"Such gentle little ones! Only Xingyao Entertainment could properly handle such fresh and innocent ones~"

   "How I wish to see you again, even if it's just a fleeting glance before we part~ Tears in my eyes, cherish those around you!"

   "These two little ones are my cats, woo woo woo~ I'm the landlord, I want to take them home!"

   "My previously restless heart suddenly calmed down, and tears naturally began to fall."

   "But, I'll never see her again. Everything has an end, but the only thing that doesn't end... is longing..."

One song, Cloud Smoke Turns to Rain, once again plunged the netizens into an emo mood. At this moment, everyone thought of that person they wanted to see again but could never meet.

They all listened to the song, remembering the person they had long sealed away in their hearts.

Whether it was family, friendship, or love, there was always that one person who made you genuinely want to meet them again, even if that meeting lasted only a moment.

Even at Tianmei Entertainment, while watching the competition, Liu Gao closed his eyes at this point. Who doesn't have someone they long to see again but can't? Despite being Gu Xingyi's rival, Liu Gao had to admit that Gu Xingyi truly understood people's hearts, and he was so talented.

At least when it came to songwriting, Gu Xingyi seemed like a flawless monster.

Some of the directors at Tianmei Entertainment sighed deeply. They were feeling lost. How could they fight this? They couldn't! They weren't even in the same league. They were being crushed into the ground!

They glanced at Liu Gao, who had his eyes closed. No one knew what the company's top executive was thinking at this moment.

Meanwhile, at the scene, Wang Xinyi, lightly made-up, held the microphone in her hands. She looked like the girl next door, giving off an inexplicable sense of closeness.

Sitting on that familiar high stool, she gazed at the audience and serenely sang.

   "The whistle of the platform train~ Longing is your voice~

   We carry our past and walk into the crowd~

   Searching for a place to settle ourselves~"

   "I wish I could see you again~

   Even if it's just a fleeting glance before we part~"

Wu Peiling quickly strummed the guitar, and the song slowly came to its end. The two little ones' eyes became brighter and more captivating.

They had found their place.

Xingyao Entertainment was a wonderful, big family.

When the song ended, Wang Xinyi put down the microphone, and Wu Peiling picked up the guitar. The two of them bowed to the quiet audience and turned to smile as they walked toward their big family.

As they were left with only their backs visible, the audience finally emerged from the mood of the song, erupting into enthusiastic applause and cheers.

   "Treasure girls, truly an ideal of the world! Indeed, girls who sing folk music are always so pure and beautiful. It's not that folk music has faded; it's just that the good ones have only just appeared!"

Online, someone posted this thought, drawing countless praises. It wasn't that folk music had faded, but rather that no one had been writing it with heart. Now, this song had finally appeared.

Not long after, the results of the competition were announced, and the directors at Tianmei Entertainment looked at the overwhelmingly clear vote counts online. None of them had much expression on their faces.

When failure became a familiar occurrence, they found it easier to accept. At this point, if Tianmei Entertainment actually won, that would truly shock them!

"Mr. Liu, is there any point in continuing the competition?"

One of the directors, looking at Liu Gao, who was still deep in thought, finally couldn't hold back from asking aloud.

Liu Gao finally opened his eyes and looked at the directors. He was no longer angry. Looking back, it was truly a small mistake that brought them here. Now, this situation was something Tianmei Entertainment had brought upon themselves.

"Why not continue? At least, let's die with dignity. Isn't the King of Shengshi Entertainment, Qi Hua, still waiting to perform? Let him go on first. As for the rest of the competition, I have my plans."

Liu Gao spoke calmly, and the directors around the conference table exchanged glances. It wasn't just Mu Baiwei who had failed, but Qi Hua was certainly at risk as well. Even if the King, Qi Hua, won a round, so what?

As long as Gu Xingyi's talent remains, the final score would surely be Xingyao Entertainment's victory.

Anyone with eyes could tell that Xingyao Entertainment had already secured its spot as one of the new three giants, and it was only a matter of time.

But since Liu Gao had made his decision, the directors didn't ask further questions.

After all, this company had been established by him alone, and no one doubted his ability.

At the scene, on the other two stages, Shengshi Entertainment had accumulated 4 points, and a few other companies had varying scores, but overall, Shengshi Entertainment was still stable.

Meanwhile, Yinhai Entertainment had reached 6 points. They had won more than they lost, and were even slightly better than Shengshi Entertainment.

The situation was already very clear. Unless something unexpected happened, Tianmei Entertainment would be taken down, and the new three giants would be Yinhai Entertainment, Shengshi Entertainment, and Xingyao Entertainment.

The competition returned to the Xingyao Entertainment stage, and this time, the competitor was an old acquaintance—Shao Fei Bai from Shengshi Entertainment.

He was the contestant who had been severely beaten by Xia Xiyao in StarSong Gathering, earning only a courtesy vote from the judges. Now, standing on this stage again, he wasn't sure if his opponent was Xia Xiyao, but he knew for sure that this song was written by Gu Xingyi.

Shao Fei Bai felt like this moment was almost surreal. Not long ago, he and Miao Anyun were still on stage together with Xia Xiyao, but look how much things had changed in such a short time? Both of them had already become unattainable to him.

In terms of fame, popularity, and the songs they sang, he couldn't compare.

And the reason for all this was that man.

In fact, Shao Fei Bai had always had a good relationship with Miao Anyun. Seeing her like this made him happy, but deep down, he still felt a great sense of regret. After all, he was still stuck in the swamp of Shengshi Entertainment for a long time.

The music started, and Shao Fei Bai quickly adjusted his state. No matter what, his love for music remained unchanged, and in the world of music, he would give his best performance.

The song ended, and the fans at the scene enthusiastically applauded. This competition didn't have any laziness; all the singers were excellent, and they really liked them.

Shao Fei Bai bowed in appreciation, let out a deep breath, and slowly stepped off the stage.

When he arrived at the backstage entrance, the person walking toward him made him freeze for a moment. A wry smile appeared on his face.

"Mr. Xue, why are you here? This... you're really overestimating me, huh?"

The person approaching him was Xue Xiaoqian. He laughed heartily and patted Shao Fei Bai's shoulder.

"No way, Mr. Gu's orders. But it's also because you sang so well!"

"That's too much of a blow to the ego!"

Shao Fei Bai shook his head, his smile turning even more bitter. He secretly cursed Gu Xingyi in his heart—this was like using a sledgehammer to kill a fly!

Xue Xiaoqian's fame was even greater than that of top-tier singers. Although he hadn't been in the public eye much in the past two years, his old songs were still circulating!

Now, with a song written by Gu Xingyi, Shao Fei Bai really didn't know how to describe it.

This was purely aimed at crushing his spirit!

By now, Xue Xiaoqian had already taken the microphone and stepped onto the stage. As expected, the scene erupted into deafening cheers.

Shao Fei Bai turned to look at Xue Xiaoqian, shining brightly on stage. He gritted his teeth and muttered harshly.

"Damn! No matter what, I'm changing jobs! Shengshi Entertainment! Pfft! Not even a dog would stay there!"
