Chapter 102: Difficult to Encounter a Bo Le
Shen Yumeng followed Zhao Jing's gaze and saw a middle-aged man in a black jacket walk in.
This uncle had a classic slicked-back hairstyle, groomed quite neatly.
But he was incredibly ordinary-looking, with a face so common that it was like a mass-produced one. Walking down the street, no one would remember his appearance.
Shen Yumeng smiled with a mischievous expression, thinking to herself, "Is this the Huang teacher that Zhao Jing made up to be so fantastic? Too ordinary!"
However, the girl who entered with Huang Guolun truly flashed before Shen Yumeng's eyes.
Compared to Huang Guolun's bland mediocrity, this girl's appearance and personality were explosive!
Her camouflage hoodie was already quite distinctive, but her short pixie cut was even more striking!
Only exceptionally beautiful women with suitable hairstyles would dare to have such a daring haircut, and this girl had exactly that type of hairstyle.
After keeping this sharp short hair, her originally pure and snow-white appearance gained an even more transcendent and detached aura like that of a beautiful Taoist nun, resembling a rare pearl that anyone would want to gaze at a few more times.
Not only was she pretty, this girl's figure was also very mature and athletic, her chest... was simply too large!
Generally, people pay special attention to what others have that they themselves lack.
For example, men with small penises will particularly notice if other men's are larger.
And women with small breasts will focus on whether other women have real assets in front of their chests.
Shen Yumeng was very pretty with a certain temperament, but she had a flat chest.
Using "flat-chested" wasn't entirely objective or polite, either; one might say she was born with a pair of small breasts.
Therefore, she usually paid extra attention to whether other girls had material on their chests.
Zhao Jing was someone whose chin could drop to her chest; logically, her chest wasn't small, but Zhao Jing's was propped up by thick bras, not genuine, so Shen Yumeng didn't give it a second thought.
But this newly arrived short-haired girl with such a strong personality, when walking, the chest in front of the hoodie could make one feel a trembling, shaking the mountains and rivers momentum. This asset... was truly envied by Shen Yumeng!
Zhao Jing, seeing Bai Yao who came in with Huang Guolun, was also slightly shaken by Bai Yao's appearance and aura.
She was used to being arrogant, and she herself was a super beauty with almost no physiological defects other than her brain. Zhao Jing never envied other girls, no matter how extraordinarily they were born, she wouldn't yearn for anything.
However, she was surprised that Bai Yao had grown up so pure and beautiful.
Previously, when listening to Bai Yao sing the ending of "Qing Ben Jia Shi," Zhao Jing thought Bai Yao was a rough 27-28 year old rock girl.
Yet unexpectedly, Bai Yao was such a young and exquisite girl.
When Huang Guolun and Bai Yao entered, they saw Nanfang singing "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" on stage.
Both were captivated by Nanfang's magnetic singing voice.
At the same time, Huang Guolun was seeing for the first time that there were so many guests sitting in the shop, which made him quite surprised.
Bai Yao was also surprised, with both hands in the pockets of her hoodie, smiling and asking Huang Guolun, "You didn't say there's no one in this shop?"
Huang Guolun awkwardly replied, "Today... it's probably an exception."
Bai Yao guessed, "These people are all here to listen to you sing, right?"
Huang Guolun modestly said, "Definitely not, they should be here to listen to the singer on stage singing, maybe they are all his fans. If I guess correctly, this person should be a professional singer, and he sings with great skill."
Bai Yao asked softly, "He isn't your friend, is he?"
Huang Guolun waved his hand below and said, "This one isn't, he should be a friend of the boss, I've never seen him before."
"Oh." Bai Yao nodded understandingly and didn't ask more, following Huang Guolun into the room.
Huang Guolun quickly found Zhao Jing, who was as eye-catching as ever, waving at him, and walked towards Zhao Jing.
Wang Peng and Jiang Lili and the others were only focused on listening to the song and didn't notice that the Huang teacher they had been waiting for all night had arrived.
Zhao Jing stood up to greet Huang Guolun and proudly told him, "Huang teacher, you didn't expect the shop to be so bustling tonight, haha."
"I didn't expect it, didn't expect it. How did so many people come tonight?"
"They are all here to listen to you sing. My sister sent a message to the old customers, saying that you would come for rehearsal tonight."
"No way..."
Huang Guolun finally understood why the two college students he had seen before were here.
Zhao Jing then introduced her good best friend Shen Yumeng and Nanfang, who was singing with his back to the piano, to Huang Guolun.
Huang Guolun also introduced Bai Yao to them.
The four sat down.
Bai Yao nodded and greeted Zhao Jing and Shen Yumeng. Her hoarse, rough voice gave the two beauties a big shock.
Zhao Jing's first reaction was that this Bai Yao was speaking through a voice changer? Why was her voice so "terrifying"!
It didn't match her appearance at all!
Shen Yumeng kindly asked Bai Yao, "Are you sick? Why is your throat hoarse?"
Zhao Jing immediately asked, "Can you still sing tonight like this?"
Bai Yao was asked very awkwardly and deliberately used an even heavier voice: "My voice has always been like this, no cold."
Zhao Jing was shocked! She had never seen any girl speak with such low, heavy bass!
Her gossip radar went off, cracking nuts, Zhao Jing smiled and ate the nuts, saying to Bai Yao, "Your voice is really quite distinctive, no wonder you can sing the ending of 'Qing Ben Jia Shi' like that. I thought it was a guy singing it. I didn't believe Huang teacher when he said it was a girl singing!"
Huang Guolun didn't want their attention focused solely on Bai Yao's voice and changed the subject: "This week, Little Bai has been practicing singing very hard, practicing until after midnight every night before sleeping. The preparation was quite sufficient."
Zhao Jing, however, didn't see the opportunity and kept pulling at Bai Yao's voice, saying, "Huang teacher, your student really grew a 'divine voice'!"
Then she very straightforwardly told Shen Yumeng, "Mengmeng, listen to Little Bai's voice's recognition. This is really what the heavens reward with food! Your Nanfang sings beautifully, that's not to be said, but his voice has too low recognition. If Nanfang had a voice like Little Bai's, he would have been popular long ago."
Shen Yumeng wanted to kick Zhao Jing under the table after hearing this, but her personality was much softer than Zhao Jing's, so she wouldn't say harsh words in front of others or sabotage others.
Huang Guolun thought Zhao Jing spoke too directly and helped smooth it over: "Nanfang sings very well, he deserves to be a professional singer, opening his mouth is extraordinary."
Just one sentence made Shen Yumeng's favor for Huang Guolun increase greatly. She asked Huang Guolun, "Huang teacher, do you also think our Nanfang sings well?"
Huang Guolun nodded with a smile and praised, "Very impressive."
Zhao Jing, not knowing when to stop, said, "Impressive is impressive, but he doesn't have a distinctive singing style. Mengmeng, don't blame me for speaking bluntly, I'm saying all real talk. Your Nanfang should try changing his song path, do something to break out, otherwise, always singing like this 'deeply emotional', he won't get popular."
Shen Yumeng had been friends with Zhao Jing for almost four years and was already used to her "stinking mouth."
Although Zhao Jing's words were particularly annoying, Zhao Jing's character was really good. She would risk her life for her friends, and if anyone had something, she would help wholeheartedly.
Shen Yumeng had been helped by Zhao Jing many times.
Now, she could work at the radio station, thanks to Zhao Jing introducing her through connections.
So no matter what Zhao Jing said, Shen Yumeng could endure it.
One could say, having such a friend was quite nice.
Someone who only says nice things no matter what happens can't be a real friend.
Zhao Jing, who is so straightforward, if she truly became a best friend, that would be a real good friend.
It was just that Zhao Jing always stabbed at others' pain points, which made Shen Yumeng very depressed.
She naturally knew the reason Nanfang couldn't get popular.
Besides not having an outstanding voice, Nanfang's luck wasn't very good either, he hadn't met a mentor all along.
Back then, after Nanfang signed with a brokerage company, the company promoted him for over a year, but it didn't work, and then they had no more push.
Nanfang's singing career entered a bottleneck period from then on, stagnating. No matter how hard Nanfang tried, it seemed particularly difficult, and he couldn't mix in.
Thinking about these things, Shen Yumeng felt particularly heartache for Nanfang.
At this time, she spoke to the three of them, "You don't mix in the professional music industry, you might not understand the current situation. The competition in the domestic music industry is really fierce now. The Chinese music scene has been stagnant for so many years, beating a bunch of talented people into submission. In the past two years, the state has supported genuine music, finally giving the Chinese music scene a glimpse of hope for revival. Many singers, including some veteran singers who have been silent for a long time, have been gathering strength to push forward in these two years. Most of the resources in the music industry are now occupied by these big stars. For newcomers to break out, it's extremely extremely difficult. This is no longer just about whether you have talent or not; more importantly, it's about opportunity, luck, and having noble people to help. I believe if our Nanfang can meet a noble person, he will definitely rise again."
Zhao Jing laughed and said, "Cheer up, I also hope your Nanfang can rise again! ... Hey? No, you can't use 'rise again' to describe your Nanfang, he has never risen before. I hope he can meet a mentor, turn luck around, and soar to success!"
After being told this by Zhao Jing, Shen Yumeng wanted to pinch Zhao Jing's meat, but luckily Zhao Jing said these nice words at the end, making Shen Yumeng feel relieved in her heart.
Zhao Jing smiled and turned her face, suddenly asking Bai Yao, "Little Bai, are you a professional singer?"
Bai Yao shook her head and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm not."
Huang Guolun reminded Zhao Jing, "Didn't I tell you? She's my student."
Zhao Jing was a bit confused and asked, "Following such a talented teacher to study music, Little Bai hasn't entered the circle of professional singers? Impossible, right?"
Huang Guolun cried and laughed helplessly, "She's not my student studying music, she's a student from the school I teach at, she's a high school student, this year entering high school second year."
"What! High school second year!"
Zhao Jing and Shen Yumeng both were shocked!
This voice, this figure... tsk tsk, development is too mature!
