Chapter 516 Not Welcome, Mama Ma?

I believe if he were to pursue music when he grew up, he would undoubtedly become a master musician.

As for Qianqian, I don't even know what to say.

Her singing voice is impeccable, and her emotional delivery is perfectly balanced, making one unconsciously immerse themselves in the era depicted by her song. I am ashamed to admit I am not her equal!

Her effusive praise of Xia Qianqian in front of so many people, even saying she was inferior to her, made her seem magnanimous, improving people's impression of her.

Let alone celebrities, even ordinary people would find it hard to admit someone else was better than them. They would likely feel discontented, believing themselves to be the best.

Yun Duo'er not only admitted it but did so in front of so many people, with cameras recording, possibly to be broadcast.

This showed her emotional intelligence was indeed very high, and she knew how to handle herself.

It was hard not to like such a person.

Only Xia Qianqian found this woman utterly hypocritical. While outwardly praising her as superior, her ultimate goal was to appear as someone who knew how to behave, deliberately lowering herself to elevate another.

If there were truly people who thought she sang better than herself, it would make her seem honest and not pretentious.

Thus, regardless of her motives, her words were likely to win people's favor.

If only she had proof that this woman was a thief, stealing her songs. She truly wished she could tear down her facade and expose her hypocrisy for everyone to see how disgusting it was.

Alas, she was not yet powerful enough, and her words lacked conviction. She could only watch her performance unfold.

Upon hearing Yun Duo'er's evaluation, the host smiled and said, "Duo'er has very high praise for Qianqian. This shows she also really likes Qianqian's singing.

I hope Qianqian will have many more works in the future for the public.

And Tongtong, I hope Tongtong will shine in various fields.

It's almost 8 o'clock, just ten more minutes. We'll watch ten more minutes of videos, and the official recording will start at 8.

I'd like to remind everyone that our cameraman is recording the whole time. Please watch the videos politely, refrain from laughing or fooling around, and be mindful of your personal conduct.

If any unsightly scenes are broadcast, I will not be held responsible!" With that, he made a funny face, and everyone burst into laughter.

After the host left, Yun Duo'er glanced at Xia Qianqian, only to find Xia Qianqian looking at her, her eyes saying it all.

For a moment, she felt a pang of guilt, but quickly regained her composure. She met Xia Qianqian's gaze calmly, even offering a smile before nonchalantly looking away.

To outsiders, this made her appear approachable and friendly, without any airs.

However, this smile disgusted Xia Qianqian. This woman truly had a thick skin.

In the presence of the original singer, she could still act so nonchalantly. Truly, she was no ordinary thief.

The video continued, and Tongtong went on to showcase other instruments. To everyone's surprise, Tongtong not only mastered the piano but also the drums and guitar...

He was an all-around musical prodigy. And he was only three years old! Mastering the piano alone was already impressive.

Yet, his proficiency in other instruments was no less than his piano skills!

Finally, there were scenes of Tongtong playing chess with adults, none of whom could beat him. Tongtong even gave them several moves' advantage.

At such a young age, with such advanced chess skills, people no longer seemed surprised.

After all, they already knew not to treat him like an ordinary child.

Instead, if there was anything Tongtong didn't understand, that would be truly strange!

Finally, after everyone had dinner at the restaurant, the filming concluded. Everyone felt they hadn't seen enough and that the filming was too short.

It wasn't that Director Wang filmed for too short a time, but rather that the broadcast time was limited, and much was edited out.

However, Tongtong's video made everyone realize that true geniuses don't need to study.

Watching so many videos, they never saw Tongtong read a book or do homework once.

This was truly an enviable childhood.

In contrast, Song Yicheng was a slave to his studies. Who would dare let their child learn like that? They'd become bookworms, perhaps even driving their children to madness.

At 2 PM, the show's official recording began. After the host's opening remarks, the list of qualifiers was announced, leading to a tense atmosphere.

"I believe everyone is eager to know who has advanced and who will enter the preliminary rounds.

First, let us congratulate Tongtong. He ranked first in every round of today's competition, making his advancement undisputed."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone began to applaud, visibly excited, as if they themselves had advanced.

However, the audience's excitement stemmed from the belief that Tongtong's future performances would be even more brilliant.

It was just a shame that since he had qualified, they wouldn't be able to watch his competition in the evening.

After the host announced the remaining qualifiers, the eight contestants whose names were not called would enter the next preliminary round.

The show continued recording until 9:30 PM, at which point another four contestants were eliminated.

Out of thirty-two contestants, only twenty-four remained.

"Today's competition has concluded. Let us congratulate the twenty-four contestants who have advanced to the next round, and bid farewell to the four who regrettably depart.

Although you lost this competition and cannot continue in the next round, your journey is still long, and there are many more possibilities in the future. We wish you all the best as you move forward!" the host said to the four individuals beside him.

Everyone stood up and applauded the four.

Before leaving, each of the four shared a few words before departing the stage amidst everyone's well wishes!

Finally, the host recited a long string of sponsor advertisements to the camera, officially declaring the day's competition over, and everyone began to disperse.

Leaving the recording studio, Liu Yifeng drove Xia Qianqian and Tongtong back to the hotel.

Just as he and Tongtong entered the hotel room, there was a knock on the door.

Liu Yifeng assumed it was Xia Qianqian knocking and told Tongtong to open the door.

"Aunt Xia, why..." Tongtong also thought it was Xia Qianqian and began to greet her before opening the door. However, upon seeing who was standing outside, his greeting stopped short.

Liu Yifeng was tidying the clothes on the bed. He had left in a hurry that morning, and Tongtong's clothes were all piled on the bed. If he didn't sort them out, they wouldn't be able to sleep tonight!

Seeing that Tongtong had stopped speaking after opening the door, he curiously asked, "What's wrong, Tongtong? Who's at the door?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar voice echoed in his ears, "Tongtong, don't you welcome Mama?"

Liu Yifeng was all too familiar with this voice. He immediately stopped what he was doing and walked quickly to the door.
