Shen Huai and Ye Cang had mentioned that they would meet with the organizers after the competition, but the matter was still under discussion. How did Li Zihang find out about this?
Faced with Ye Cang's question, Li Zihang coughed lightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed and frustrated: "Because the sponsor of this event is my family's company."
He was frustrated when he talked about it. Shouldn't this situation be a clear indication that the grandfather was going to promote his own child? But his grandfather thought he wasn't good enough and then gave the opportunity to Ye Cang instead.
Li Zihang is increasingly suspicious that Ye Cang might be the old man's illegitimate son.
Ye Cang responded with an "oh," his attitude completely indifferent: "Do I need to say thank you?"
Li Zihang: "..."
In fact, Li Zihang had some concerns before. He came from a good family and had only ever been around two kinds of people since he was a child. One kind was people from similar backgrounds to him, but they had different pursuits and nothing in common. The other kind was people from very different backgrounds. Once they learned about his identity, they would either become estranged and stop interacting with him, or they would flatter him and try to get some benefits from him.
Li Zihang admires Ye Cang's philosophy on music and cherishes this friend.
He was worried that Ye Cang would change after learning his identity, but now that he saw that Ye Cang really didn't react at all, he was a little depressed. After all, it made him seem like he was worthless.
Despite his frustration, Ye Cang's attitude made Li Zihang feel at ease in his company, and he quickly got used to it.
Li Zihang put his hand on Ye Cang's shoulder, looking like they were best buddies: "I already have an idea for a new album, and I plan to start preparing for it after the competition. What about you?"
Ye Cang frowned and pulled his hand off his shoulder: "Just talk, why are you pulling and tugging at me like that?"
“No…” Li Zihang was stunned, “Don’t you always act like this with your manager too…”
Before he could finish speaking, he could read the contempt in Ye Cang's eyes.
"How can this be the same?" Ye Cang shooed him away without any mercy. "Get out, get out, I need to change my clothes!"
Li Zihang was even more annoyed: "What's there to hide about your skinny, muscular figure? Besides, we're all men, what's there to hide..."
Ye Cang had just lifted his shirt and looked at his skinny frame when his mood instantly soured. He thought to himself, "What do you know? I used to be a man with eight-pack abs..."
Ye Cang changed his clothes very quickly and came out to see Li Zihang.
He frowned: "Why are you still here?"
Li Zihang choked: "Bro, I need to change my clothes too, okay?!"
As he spoke, he took off his jacket, revealing a close-fitting vest that clearly outlined his muscular physique.
Li Zihang said with a hint of pride, "See that? That's what a man's physique should look like!"
"Childish!" Ye Cang scoffed, then raised his hand to compare the heights of the two, sneered, and left.
Li Zihang: "..."
Calling me childish? Isn't comparing my height even more childish?
Ye Cang ignored his inner grumbling, thinking to himself, "What's so great about yours? My manager's figure is much better." With that thought, he touched his own fleshless arms and sadly decided that he would go to the gym when he got back.

Quite coincidentally, the contestant who competed against Ye Cang sang the same song as Ye Cang in this competition.
This is a very famous rock song by Lu Yang called "Pilgrimage," which is almost as famous as "Summer Insects." However, compared to "Summer Insects," "Pilgrimage" often appears on the cover song lists of many contestants. So, the fact that the two of them are singing the same song this time is not exactly a huge coincidence.
The two went up on stage to draw lots, and Ye Cang drew the first one.
As soon as he opened his mouth, applause erupted in the audience, and even his opponents couldn't help but applaud.
These two competitions have made people forget what Ye Cang was like when he sang "The Song of Immortality" and "Summer Insects" before, and forget that when he appeared on stage with his teammates, even they would be overshadowed, let alone his opponents.
Furthermore, since the two sang the same song, Ye Cang won almost without any suspense.
After stepping off the stage, his opponent shook hands with Ye Cang in a very courteous manner: "I have liked this song for many years. You are the one I have heard who best captures the feeling of the original singer."
Ye Cang was somewhat amused and exasperated, unsure whether this was a compliment, since he himself was the original singer.
But these two songs were enough to show his true strength. He didn't just happen to pick suitable songs by chance; he genuinely possesses the singing ability. As for his arrangements, many people previously thought he only achieved his current status because of Yan Xiangming and Fang Jiqing, but after seeing his arrangement of "Meow Meow," no one will say that anymore.
After the match ended, various aspects of the game quickly became trending topics again.
Holy crap! So "Meow Meow" can be adapted like this?!
This isn't just an adaptation, it's practically an original work!
[Let me explain the difficulty of this operation.] Then I posted a paper.
[That difficult?! There probably aren't many people in the music industry today who can do that.]
My son is really going all out to avoid singing these ear-piercing songs!
[Wow, does that mean I can start looking forward to Cangcang's original works?]
[Looking forward to original content 1]
There were also those who mocked Jiang Junyan.
Using such underhanded tactics to advance is really low.
[I thought he was being genuine last time, but it's probably just jealousy.]
Even if he wins this way, so what? Ye Cang's subsequent PK songs will still easily defeat him.
The judges' subtle slap in the face was hilarious!
The next day, when the TV station aired the recorded broadcast, everyone was even more excited, especially about Ye Cang's part. Although Cherry had deliberately chosen an angle to avoid showing his messy room in the footage, she didn't expect that netizens, who were like Sherlock Holmes, could piece together what Ye Cang's room looked like from just a few fleeting shots.
