Volume 1, Chapter 106: Our Jiang Yu

Page (1/3)

At 8:30 PM, "China Has Rap" began streaming simultaneously across all major platforms.

In the Sandalwood Palace.

The room was lively and noisy.

It was Su Muyu's group of close friends who had arrived.

He had originally planned to cook a meal and watch the show with Su Muyu, but unexpectedly, her friend circle showed up. Jiang Yu could only go from cooking for two to cooking for five.

"Whoa, big star, your cooking skills are legit!" Fang Shanshan exclaimed with delight.

Tong Yao, on the other hand, had no time to speak—her mouth hadn't stopped moving since the first bite.

Qin Shuyao raised her wine glass: "Jiang Yu, the reason we came to find you this time is to thank you properly."

Ever since Jiang Yu's livestream that one time, it seemed like every talent agency had caught wind of the explosive potential of celebrity livestreaming. Over this period, many celebrities had proactively reached out to her, hoping to livestream on her platform. Her platform's profits had multiplied several times over!

So this time, she had come specifically to thank Jiang Yu, and had brought Fang Shanshan and Tong Yao along for a girls' gathering.

"No problem at all. You all go ahead and eat—I'll stir-fry a few more dishes." Jiang Yu smiled and headed toward the kitchen.

Tong Yao's mouth was stuffed full, but when she heard Jiang Yu say that, her eyes instantly lit up and she nodded frantically. After watching Jiang Yu disappear into the kitchen, she couldn't help but sigh: "A man who can cook is such a huge plus. He cooks this well—when I find a husband in the future, he has to know how to cook too!"

"How about you just snatch Jiang Yu away?" Fang Shanshan giggled.

Su Muyu rolled her eyes dramatically at that.

Tong Yao nodded at first, then shook her head: "No way, Jiang Yu belongs to Xiao Yu... I can't steal him away..."

As expected of a true best friend. Su Muyu looked at Tong Yao, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly.

"Would you mind if Jiang Yu had one more wife?"

The corners of her mouth that had just curled up instantly dropped: "Yuan Yuan, you've learned bad things. What do you mean 'one more wife'? He doesn't even have a wife right now."

"Ooh~~"

The three girls let out a synchronized chorus.

But Su Muyu had long been immune to the three of them. No matter what they said, she simply turned on the screen projector and switched to the show Jiang Yu was on.

"Why are you suddenly listening to rap? I remember you absolutely refused to listen to this kind of thing before." Qin Shuyao asked.

Su Muyu didn't say anything—she just pointed at the screen.

The three girls turned in unison to look at the TV, then let out a collective gasp.

"Holy crap, it's Jiang Yu's show!"

"Nice, nice. Last time I went back and listened to some of Jiang Yu's songs—they're good. Just don't know how his rap is."

"Nom nom nom..."

As the show began, they saw Jiang Yu sitting in the judge's seat.

The bullet comments were on, and densely packed words scrolled across the screen.

"Who is this guy? He can be a rap judge? How have I never seen him before?"

"You don't know Jiang Yu? His songs are still on the platform charts right now."

"Just a passerby here. I know Jiang Yu, but he's really a rap judge? Does he even know rap?"

"The person above, are you kidding me? The 'Mountain and River Map' earlier, and the 'Marching Out' he sang live—both were written and performed really well."

"Who cares about the judges? Are you here to listen to music or to stare at the judges?"

……

The three girls watched the bullet comments.

"Tsk tsk, your entertainment industry really isn't easy to survive in. Even taking a job gets you cursed at." Fang Shanshan clicked her tongue.

Qin Shuyao shook her head: "On my livestream platform, there are streamers with only three or four thousand followers, and even they get people crying from the abuse. Let alone Jiang Yu, who's a celebrity with even more fame. The bigger the forest, the stranger the birds."

The show continued smoothly until the final segment—the time to select first place.

Voting time had arrived again.

Seeing that the ranking, which could have been decided straightforwardly, ended up causing problems later because of that woman Mei Mei's appearance.

"That woman named Mei Mei—what's her background? She's not only dripping with fake sweetness, but she's also got a vicious mind!" Fang Shanshan said with indignation.

"She doesn't have much background. She's just a pitiful soul who tried to steal a chicken but lost the bait instead."

Su Muyu said calmly.

She had already received word that this woman had been soft-blacklisted in the entertainment industry. Only her previous works hadn't been taken down, and from now on, most people in the industry probably wouldn't work with her.

After that, the attitude of that group of rappers made the three friends start cursing up a storm.

"A bunch of illiterate people who didn't even finish school, thinking that just because they scream and curse all day they're singers. People like that are truly disgusting!" Fang Shanshan went straight on the attack.

Beside her, Qin Shuyao was equally furious: "What are they putting on airs for? Do they even have any endorsements? They should just be blacklisted from the industry outright!"

Su Muyu glanced at the two of them: "They haven't even reached the level where they could get endorsements."

"My bad... Just little sparrows like that, and they dare act so arrogant? Tsk tsk, this is truly an eye-opener!"

Finally, it was Jiang Yu's turn on screen. They saw Jiang Yu looking at those two people on stage with a mocking, amused expression.

And then.

A song that was equal parts hilarious and absurd burst onto the scene.

Was this singing? This was venting.

And the bullet comments began to shift.

"Damn, these lyrics—directly attacking to their faces! This bro is insane!"

"Laughing my ass off. Look at those so-called A-bin and A-dog over there—their faces are completely gone, getting ground into the dirt by this bro!"

"Jiang Yu is a beast. This move single-handedly cleans up the whole rap scene!"

"It was about time someone cleaned it up!"

As Jiang Yu continued singing, the cheers never let up.

"I kneel. Apology accepted. Not a single curse word in the whole thing, but everything he said was undeniable!"

"You see that? This is Jiang Yu's real strength. Weren't you guys just saying he didn't know rap? Apologize!"

"I'm sorry. I admit I was a bit too loud earlier!"

"I'm sorry!"

Funny enough, those people from the so-called Red Flower Society, the AKA crowd who had been standing there before, were now completely conquered by Jiang Yu's single song "I'm Not a Rapper"!

Back at home.

The three best friends watched Jiang Yu's domineering performance, their eyes full of little stars.

Just then, Jiang Yu walked over carrying a plate of red-braised pork that looked, smelled, and tasted absolutely perfect.

"Red-braised pork is here! You all go ahead and eat—I'll be over in a bit!"

"Big star, you're way too handsome!" Fang Shanshan said excitedly.

"Just standard moves, no need to hype!" Jiang Yu chuckled and went back to the kitchen to keep working.

Handsome, can cook, talented, good-looking, great body, and makes money too!

Folks, who can understand this? How can a man like this even exist?

Qin Shuyao grabbed Su Muyu's hand: "Xiao Yu, talk to Jiang Yu for me. I'm single and available recently, and most importantly—I'm a rich lady!"

"Me too, me too! Xiao Yu, does Jiang Yu still need a girlfriend? I don't mind if he has other girlfriends. I'm also a rich lady!" Fang Shanshan's eyes were sparkling too.

Tong Yao, chewing on a piece of red-braised pork, chimed in: "Delicious, so delicious. Xiao Yu, I don't mind either. He cooks way too well. I'm a little rich lady too—house and car, I'll handle it all. He just needs to feed me!"

A vein bulged on Su Muyu's forehead, slowly forming a well-shaped "井": "You three, get out of here. Our Jiang Yu doesn't have time for you!"

"Our!!!??? Our???!!! Nom nom nom!!!!"

Seeming to realize she'd misspoken, Su Muyu's pretty face flushed red: "Are you all done eating? If you're done, hurry up and go home!"

"No, we're not full yet."

"Go home now!"

……

The friends started playfully bickering and tussling.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yu in the kitchen glanced sideways at Su Muyu, the corner of his mouth curling up slightly.

He had heard it. Heard it very clearly...
