Lin Qian lowered her head and thought for a moment. In the end, she looked at Tangning and replied, "I'll go."
Was there any reason not to go?
Tangning nodded her head and smiled mysteriously, "You sure are carefree. But, after the incident with Quan Ziye, I can tell that you're not the type to settle."
"Mhmm," Lin Qian agreed with what Tangning said.
Afterwards, she returned to Xing Lan's apartment, packed her luggage and prepared to fly to New Zealand.
Of course, it was almost time for Xing Lan's finals. So, Lin Qian hoped that Xing Lan would win first place.
"If you don't win …"
"Don't worry, go ahead," Xing Lan felt that Lin Qian was too long-winded.
Lin Qian originally wanted to tell Li Jin that she was going on a business trip, but she knew that he would be busy at the military base. So, she decided to wait until Li Jin contacted her. As a result, Lin Qian boarded the plane with Xia Hanmo.
…
It was almost time for Xing Lan's Battle of the Champions. Throughout the competition, even though Xing Lan was ranked first, she had never slacked off. In fact, she prepared seriously for every match. Plus, she had already been trained by Tangning, so Hai Rui's manager didn't have much to worry about.
"Tonight is the most important match for you. I hope you can maintain your previous form. Whether you win first place or not isn't important. What's important is your mentality."
"I believe that's what Ning Jie wanted me to say to you."
The manager reminded Xing Lan because she knew that she had once failed to win first place. So, she was worried that she would feel burdened.
In reality, Xing Lan was indeed nervous.
After all, she was once only one step away from first place.
And now, it was like this again. She was really afraid that someone would set a trap for her again.
"Li Jie, can I give Ning Jie a phone call?" Xing Lan felt that only Tangning could comfort her.
The manager, Li Jie, pulled out Xing Lan's phone and gave Tangning a call. As soon as Tangning picked up, Xing Lan immediately felt a sense of security, "Ning Jie … I'm scared."
After hearing this, Tangning couldn't help but laugh, "Is there anything that can stop you from going on stage and singing?"
"Nothing."
"Trust me, the championship is yours. I've already sent people to check on all possible factors to make sure you get on stage without a hitch. Can you guarantee that you'll win first place?" Tangning asked.
Hearing that Tangning had eliminated any unstable factors, Xing Lan finally relaxed. It was clear to see how much trust she had in Tangning.
"I can," she answered firmly.
"Sing well, the whole nation is watching tonight."
Xing Lan's confidence was boosted and she was now full of confidence. She was even confident that she could win 10 championships. So, after hanging up the phone, she returned the phone to her manager, "Thank you, Li Jie."
"You can't live without Tangning?"
"At least, that's the case for now," Xing Lan smiled.
As long as Xing Lan performed well, winning would be a piece of cake. But, Xing Lan wasn't willing to give up. So, when it came time to challenge the difficulty, she chose to challenge the hardest one.
The judges did not understand. The championship was already in the bag, so why did they have to have such high expectations of themselves?
This was the question that one of the judges asked and Xing Lan responded in this way.
"Tonight, the whole nation will have their eyes on me. I know how dazzling I am. Since singing is the path that I've chosen, why shouldn't I do my best to repay my fans?"
"So, I chose the hardest one."
"I'm very curious. What exactly is it? Or, who gave you such courage?" Another judge asked.
"It's my talent scout, Tangning," Xing Lan replied straightforwardly. "I know that in everyone's eyes, she has a good side; she's mysterious, wise, has a high EQ and is multi-talented. But, she also has a bad side; she's scheming, full of drama and can't be offended. But, in my heart, she has reshaped me and given me a new lease on life. She is my talent scout. "
"Although I've already signed with Hai Rui, I will never forget who helped me get through the lowest point of my life."
"Tangning!"
"In my heart, she is a legend. She is someone that I've always wanted to be, but could never become."
"Thank you, everyone."
Xing Lan's words were filled with sincere gratitude, but they also contained a lot of hidden emotions.
No matter what the public thought of the entertainment industry, everyone at Superstar Media treated each other with sincerity.
"You are a grateful person. You can start singing now."
Xing Lan did not exaggerate her gratitude towards Tangning. She simply wanted the public to know that Tangning had single-handedly helped her win the championship.
Those that had doubted and ridiculed Tangning in the past were going to have their faces slapped swollen like pigs.
Xing Lan had always remembered Tangning's teachings. At all times, she had to leave some leeway and not expose her bottom line in front of everyone.
So, as soon as Xing Lan opened her mouth for the final battle, everyone was stunned!
Because of her explosive power, her voice, her emotions, and her singing skills, all seemed to have reached their best state at the right time.
She sang 'Fireworks' to the best of her abilities and even better than the original singer …
"Oh God, how many more surprises does this child have in store for us?"
"Oh my God, I'm shocked too."
"Wait, does that mean she's been holding back all this time?"
"She was groomed by Tangning. What do you think?"
The words of the judges were enough to explain the situation. Xing Lan's final performance was simply stunning.
If Xing Lan's previous performances were said to be slightly better than average and made her competitors want to surpass her, then the final song made everyone fall silent.
Because, Xing Lan's final song seemed to be a tribute to Tangning.
She wanted to sing it for Tangning.
"This is the venue of the National Finals of [Journey]. I am your external host, XX. I'm sure everyone has heard the song that Xing Lan sang, 'Fireworks'. If you like it, then pick up your phone and vote for Xing Lan."
It was one of the most intense battles of the night. Because of Xing Lan's provocation, the remaining contestants gave it their all. Some of them matched her in singing and some of them even used their own songs. But, in the end, the winner of the competition …
"After the most intense battle, the discussion of the judges and the votes of the audience, the winner of this battle of the kings is …"
