That night, Jiang Kan invited Yu Kai and Zhang Lingling to have hot pot.
Originally, we planned to invite Yu Kai's family to join us, but his wife happened to meet some little sisters and were dragged to sing. Yu Xiaodong made a fuss and wanted to sing too, so only the three of them came to the house they used to go to. Hot pot restaurant.
There were no seats at all in the bustling hot pot restaurant. After asking the waiter, they were told that they would have to wait for at least half an hour, so the three of them sat on simple plastic chairs outside and started waiting.
A few people were chatting in a lively manner, but suddenly they noticed a group of "acquaintances" coming up behind them and starting to line up.
Jiang Kan looked up and saw a thin young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walking at the front, surrounded by several other people. The arrogant, conceited, and difficult-to-get-with look on his face made him laugh. People can't help but think of the club members in some action movies.
However, such an arrogant young man turned around and left without any hesitation the moment he saw Jiang Kan. The people around him were confused, but they had no choice but to follow. He walked back.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Lingling asked curiously.
"Nothing, I saw a few familiar people, haha."
Jiang Kan looked away from Deng Gang's back and continued chatting with them with a smile.
"Lao Kan, today's typhoon is pretty good, you already have the look of a big star!"
Yu Kai was teasing Jiang Kan with a smile while holding up his melon seeds.
He had also seen the way Deng Gang and the others were yelling at each other just now, and he originally thought they were going to have another quarrel with each other.
Unexpectedly, he just gave up and turned around to leave. He had no place to vent all the words he had been brewing for a while, but he still couldn't help but silently nodded to this guy who made a quick decision and avoided being severely slapped in the face. A thumbs up.
"Really? Have you really started to look stylish?"
Jiang Kan would not be polite to him. Anyway, since he wanted to compliment himself, there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
"Don't tell me, Brother Kan, the way you sang today has really begun to look like a star's generous and casual style! I also saw your performance when you were singing here before, but you didn't do that at that time. It’s so natural now!”
…
While Jiang Kan was happily eating hot pot, Deng Gang and several of his followers were sitting in a private room of another hot pot restaurant, eating meat and drinking heavily.
Although the scene was always very lively, an attentive follower still saw the displeasure on his boss's face.
"Brother Deng, the brothers have all noticed that you are very unhappy now. The man named Jiang is indeed not a good person..."
He toasted Deng Gang with a glass of wine and said considerately.
This follower is the singer Zhang Pingfan who won the 15th place last month with Deng Gang's song "Extraordinary Man".
"..."
Deng Gang glanced at him sideways through his gold-rimmed glasses, but did not show any intention to stop him.
Seeing that the sponsor did not stop him, Zhang Pingfan continued:
"Actually, if Brother Deng really wants to take a breath, I have a good idea..."
Then he leaned into Deng Gang's ear and whispered.
"Brother Deng should know about Liu Yiliang, right? He's the first-line singer in Xinghai. Didn't someone expose him last month and say that he has two things to do?"
Deng Gang nodded when he heard this and took a sip of wine.
"But they haven't found the person who broke the scandal yet, so I was thinking, we can think of a way to do this..."
Zhang Pingfan immediately picked up the bottle of expensive liquor with both hands and filled Deng Gang's glass.
"You mean... let's find someone to break the news, saying that Feiyang broke the news deliberately to praise his singer?"
Deng Gang hadn't eaten much food so far, but because he was in a depressed mood, he drank a lot of wine. He had already downed half a bottle of white wine, so his thoughts were a little unclear.
"No, no, no, it's not Feiyang. We can't afford to offend such a big company. What I want to say is, let's just say that Jiang Kan found someone to spread the rumor. The purpose is to pull the other party down and make him I have a chance to enter the top three!”
As Zhang Pingfan spoke, he took a sip of white wine and became bolder in speaking.
"Aren't you talking nonsense? His ranking at that time was only 27th, and his songs were worse than mine..."
Even though he was a little drunk, Deng Gang, who could become a songwriter based on his IQ, still had more common sense than the young singer who only knew how to sing.
A person ranked 27th framed a person ranked first for the top three positions...
Such blatant nonsense, no one would believe it if I told you!
Generally speaking, when you are a competitor, you are looking for people who are similar in strength to you. Wouldn't it be crazy for you to be number one?
"Haha, Brother Deng, didn't we say that our purpose is not to really make others believe this, but to help you out and cause him some trouble!"
"You think, a big shot like Liu Yiliang will naturally not believe it, but once there is such news, his fans may not necessarily think so! What's more, those tabloids and unscrupulous media will definitely be happy to Those who are hyping up this matter, let’s muddy the waters, and of course we will give that uncle a headache!”
Zhang Pingfan still persuaded Deng Gang in a persuasive manner.
This group of followers are all unsuccessful young singers in this company called Tianyang Entertainment, and there are many who have not even made it to the fourth tier.
But they all invariably fell in love with Deng Gang, a composer who had quit one of the three major companies, and hugged his thigh tightly, hoping to get a piece of the pie.
Isn't that what Zhang Pingfan is like? Originally, he could only release one song in three months, and it was a C-level song. When Deng first entered the company, he rushed up at lightning speed and hugged this thick leg.
Serving tea and water, delivering cigarettes and wine, driving and carrying bags...
Everything a little brother should do has been done!
Then his kneeling and licking also greatly benefited Deng Gang, who had never been treated like this before. He was also very satisfied with his performance. After a period of "test", he acquiesced in the existence of his younger brother.
Then a B-level song was revealed to him from the cracks of his fingers. I thought he would be able to sing among the top twenty or thirty and that would be the end.
Who would have thought that this guy has such a good voice and he is so up-to-date, that this guy actually broke into the top fifteen!
At this time, he looked at Xiao Zhang in a new light, acquiescing that he had become the leader among the group of people who wanted to hug him.
"Hey...that's all right! You kid..."
"It's good to put some eye drops on that uncle so that he doesn't have to be arrogant in front of me...Xiao Zhang, you are really smart!"
Deng Gang's eyes revealed a lingering resentment, as if today's experience reminded him of the humiliation he had suffered in the past years in Feiyang Entertainment's composition department.
The corner of Zhang Pingfan's mouth also showed a proud smile after successfully flattering him.
"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you, but be careful not to reveal your flaws!"
Deng Gang nodded with satisfaction, held the cup and touched it gently with the other party's extended cup, and then drank the white wine inside.
