Chapter 41:

"Where did you hear this?"

The news that Jiang Fengchi was about to quit "Pick Eleven" was undoubtedly a bomb, which quickly detonated the emotions of everyone on the scene. Those players who were not interested in gossip listened to it. At this sentence, they couldn't help walking downstairs, anxiously urging the other party to speak quickly.

The source of the news was a small girl. She didn't expect that her words would attract so many people's questions. She couldn't help but take a breath, calm her mood, and then slowly explain.

She is a contestant from Class C, and her ranking is not high, so she did not return to the company this holiday, but stayed in the contestant's dormitory to continue practicing. By the way, I will see if the program team needs any help and seize the opportunity. Find yourself a little shot for yourself.

She has been staying in the program group for the past few days. When she went to help a staff member pack things yesterday afternoon, she happened to meet Jiang Fengchi to find the director. She overheard Jiang when she was helping to bring tea to the two of them. Feng Chi said that he wanted to quit the show, but the director persuaded him in the room to reconsider.

Because she was only delivering tea, she didn't hear the content of the other party's conversation in detail, but when she entered the room, she noticed that Jiang Fengchi's expression was not looking very good, and her brows were always furrowed, looking preoccupied.

"However, the program team has not notified us of this news yet, which means that Teacher Jiang may still be considering it, right?"

After listening to the girl's words, there was a slight gasp in the room, and no one dared to speak for a long time. It took a while for another player to say that in an uncertain tone.

"Maybe."

The rest of the contestants nodded suspiciously, but they were still confused about this matter, and they couldn't imagine why Jiang Fengchi suddenly asked to quit the show.

Is it because they are so annoying that Jiang Fengchi quit in disappointment?

Everyone still remembers what Jiang Fengchi told them at the beginning of the show to witness their growth, and their mood instantly became a little low, even if they were not worried that Jiang Fengchi's withdrawal would affect the ratings of the show, they were getting along these days. They have also become more and more in love with their strict mentor Jiang, no matter what the result is, I hope to be able to go to the end under the guidance of Teacher Jiang.

All I can say is, it's really sad.

The atmosphere in the dormitory suddenly became stiff, and the players all looked gloomy. No one spoke for a while, and everyone looked at each other thoughtfully.

"How about we go find Teacher Jiang?"

In silence, Shi Qing suddenly opened her mouth. She looked at the rest of the room with her beautiful eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally whispered. I said my own thoughts: "At least we have to do something, otherwise if Teacher Jiang really quit like this, I think I will definitely feel regret in the

future." Maybe they will be able to cooperation with Jiang Fengchi in the future. There is an opportunity, but the summer that I can spend with Teacher Jiang is only the current summer. After I miss it, there will never be another summer.

Shi Qing's words obviously touched some of the players at the scene. When everyone was hesitant, another player also said: "Mr. Jiang is really good, I came from Class F, even if I am in Class F. , Teacher Jiang will take the trouble to teach us, without Teacher Jiang, I might have been eliminated."

One person began to empathize, and soon there were the second and third... The contestants recalled this in their minds. They felt moved and reluctant to get along with each other for more than a month. They felt that what Shi Qing said was right, and they had to do something.

"But it's not good for us to go to Teacher Jiang like this? Maybe he has some plans of his own, will we be annoying?"

Some people worriedly expressed their concerns, although from their point of view, I really hope that Teacher Jiang can stay, but the world of adults is too complicated, so they have to think more about themselves, and think about whether such behavior will make them feel bad.

After all, Jiang Fengchi is a mentor, and they are just students. As students and mentors are too close, it will inevitably cause controversy.

The atmosphere became anxious again. Just when everyone was still hesitating, a soft voice sounded in the room, and Qiao Hao, who had been quietly listening to everyone's conversation, suddenly stood up.

"Let's go."

Qiao Hao walked out of the crowd and said with burning eyes: "I believe that Teacher Jiang will not be angry with us, because he obviously likes this stage very much."

Qiao Hao's voice fell, Everyone was stunned at first, and when they approached, they slowly exhaled, and couldn't help nodding their heads.

Yes, if it was Teacher Jiang, they really couldn't believe that he would leave halfway like this.

After all, that's Jiang Fengchi who said not to give up any stage!

"I'm going too."

"I'll go with you too."

At the same time, Jiang Fengchi was sitting in the office of the show crew, talking to the director about something.

"Fengchi, are these children too noisy and make you feel uneasy? I'll talk about them another day, don't let them haunt you."

The director is a middle-aged man, and he and Jiang Fengchi have known each other for a while. When the time is up, according to his understanding of Jiang Fengchi, and with the professionalism of the other party, he will never do anything that would cause trouble to the show by quitting halfway, unless there is a force majeure reason.

Jiang Fengchi lowered his head, his face was not very good, there was a strong tiredness in his eyes, and the whole person looked extremely haggard.

"No, they are all very good and hardworking. It's my own reason."

No matter how tired he is, Jiang Fengchi would sit up straight and look at each other's eyes to show respect when talking with people, but today he actually used With his hand on his forehead, he looked so uncomfortable that the director couldn't bear to say more.

"Anyway, the players haven't come back today. Just think about it again. If you're really tired, take a good rest. I'll find a way."

The director sighed heavily, feeling helpless and powerless in his heart.

He is not complaining about Jiang Fengchi. After all, they have been dealing with each other for so many years, and there is always affection. It's just that Ruan Tao and Jiang Fengchi said they would quit in a short time, which had to give him a headache. , it is not even an exaggeration to describe it as being overwhelming.

The director sighed, shook his head and said, "Ruan Tao also said she was going to quit, and she didn't know why. Now my colleagues in the operation department have big heads, and I don't know how to explain it to the outside world."

Hearing Ruan Tao's comments When it was time to name, Jiang Fengchi's eyes jumped slightly, but he didn't speak, just took a breath in silence.

After a long time, he spoke again, his voice sounded a bit difficult, "I'm sorry, Director, I have caused you trouble."

It was all his fault.

The director didn't know what happened between Ruan Tao and Jiang Fengchi. One of them was a contestant and the other was a mentor, so the director didn't make too many associations. He just thought that Jiang Fengchi was quitting for himself. After apologizing, he comforted: "It's nothing, in short, you can think about it."

The director's eyes paused slightly on Jiang Fengchi's body, and he said in a complicated tone: "Fengchi, as a director, I really don't want to. You quit the show, but as your old friend, I just want to say, think about it carefully, if you really made up your mind, you won't have such a blank look in your eyes."

Jiang Fengchi held his breath slightly . He took a breath and didn't answer the director's words.

But he knew why the director said that, because he also saw deep doubts and doubts in his own eyes. He was not sure whether his actions were right. His heart was in chaos and anxiety, which made him feel uneasy. He lost the ability to analyse calmly.

All he knew was that if he couldn't get out of this chaotic mood, it wouldn't make any sense for him to stay.

After finishing the conversation with the director, Jiang Fengchi walked out of the building slowly.

The light outside was a little dazzling, and he was standing under the sun, feeling dizzy in a trance.

"Mr. Jiang."

At the same moment when Jiang Fengchi felt dizzy, a clear voice pulled him out of the chaos. The girl's voice was as cold as a clear spring in the mountains. Hearing it was cool, the eyes and ears suddenly became clear.

Jiang Feng raised his eyes, only to see Qiao Mo standing not far from him, looking up at him.

"Qiao Hao?"

Jiang Fengchi knew that Qiao Hao received a video advertisement from Beidao, and also heard that Meng Lingsi recommended her to participate in "Flower of Thorns", so he thought that Qiao Hao would be extra special during the few days of vacation. Busy, I didn't expect to see Qiao Mo coming back now.

Qiao Mo nodded and took a few steps forward. Her clear eyes looked straight at Jiang Fengchi, and she seemed a little hesitant to speak.

How should I speak?

Qiao Mo was a little worried. She was thinking about how to speak, and then she suddenly heard Jiang Fengchi say: "Did you come to see me when you heard that I was going to quit the show?" Did you find out

so quickly?

Jiang Fengchi couldn't help shaking his head because of Qiao Hao's expression of surprise and remorse. Looking at the worried look in the other party's eyes, he probably understood what kind of panic his behavior would make these young girls.

"Mr. Jiang, everyone is worried about you."

After discovering that Jiang Fengchi saw through her purpose, Qiao Mo honestly explained the reason for her coming. As she spoke, she secretly looked at Jiang Fengchi's expression. .

She still hasn't figured out why Jiang Fengchi and Ruan Tao quit "Pick Eleven". According to the memory that appeared in Qiao Mo's mind, they will stay until the end, rather than leaving the show after the end of the show.

Hearing what Qiao Hao said, Jiang Fengchi couldn't help but frowned slightly. His eyes stopped for a while on Qiao Hao, as if he was thinking about something. After a long time, he opened his mouth and said, "I'm fine, I'm just A little... a little dazed."

Jiang Fengchi looked at Qiao Hao, and suddenly had an idea, if it was Qiao Hao, if it was her, would she be able to solve her confusion?

There is a very wonderful magic power in Qiao Hao. Jiang Fengchi is not sure whether his description is accurate, but he does sometimes feel that Qiao Hao is like a creature who has strayed into the human world from a distant place. , is so ignorant of everything, but makes people inexplicably let go of their defences.

But even so, Jiang Fengchi didn't plan to tell others about his troubles.

He is a mentor and he should not pass his negative/negative emotions to his students.

Ruan Tao came to him that day and told him an amazing thing, that is-

"Mr. Jiang, don't you remember me?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to see me?"

Until Ruan Tao said this In other words, Jiang Fengchi realised that Ruan Tao was the fan who still supported him in the trough of his career.

That time was Jiang Fengchi's darkest experience. There were no teammates, no announcements, no exposure, and nothing. But this was not enough to make Jiang Fengchi feel pain, because for him, he was standing alone when he came. On the stage, it doesn't matter if he is just standing on the stage alone when he finally leaves, as long as there is still a chance to see the stage, he will not give up.

But the most torment is the denial from all sides, the outside world, the company, and even his fans, everyone is saying to him, "You have disappointed us so much", "Why did you become like this", "I really regret being you" Fans of "…

Every word is like a dagger stuck in his heart, and in the day and night of abuse, Jiang Fengchi gradually became suspicious of himself.

Is he really suitable for this stage?

Is he really qualified to stand on this stage?

Does he really need to persist and stay?

No affirmation, no support, and certainly no hope.

But even so, there is a small fan who persistently checks in the community to leave a message every day, leaving a message under every message of Jiang Fengchi, cheering him up, and working hard to form a fan group, trying his best to give Jiang Fengchi a message. The people around him said, "Thank you for liking our brother Fengchi, he is really great!"

One day, two days...for a long time, until Jiang Fengchi remembered each other's name.

This little warmth became the only solace in Jiang Fengchi's experience. Through the other party, he saw more people who supported him, so he could resolutely choose to go abroad to work hard, and finally made his debut and appeared in front of the public again. .

But after he came back, the little fan disappeared.

Jiang Fengchi also privately told the other party that he wanted to meet TA to show his gratitude.

But after so many years, the other party has never replied.

Until that day, Ruan Tao said that sentence.

Ruan Tao said that it was because he said he wanted to see her that she joined the entertainment industry and she came to participate in the show. Everything she did was for Jiang Fengchi, but what did she get now? Complaints from teammates, abuse from the audience and ignorance from Jiang Fengchi?

Jiang Fengchi had imagined the scene of meeting that fan many times, but he never thought it would be such a tragic scene.

Ruan Tao almost broke down and cried bitterly in front of him, and finally she said, "Mr. Jiang, Jiang Fengchi, can't you choose me?" There

was a chaotic buzzing in Jiang Fengchi's mind, his expression was stiff, but Still didn't hesitate to answer: "I'm sorry, I can't do it, it's not fair to other players."

The entertainment industry is a big dye vat. Everyone here will face unprecedented temptation. Now Ruan Tao has not really been involved in it. If she is, she has already taken the first step of deviation, as long as Jiang Fengchi agrees. Ruan Tao's eyeballs, then whether it is Jiang Fengchi or Ruan Tao, their bottom line will only become lower and lower under the concessions again and again in the future, and eventually they will go on a hopeless wrong path.

Even if Ruan Tao was not the original fan, Jiang Fengchi didn't want any of the contestants in the show to take this wrong step.

But obviously, Ruan Tao didn't think so.

Numerous messy emotions collided with each other and suddenly surged out in an instant. Ruan Tao's tone had never been so strong before shouting: "But I need your support! I need your support!"

She is powerful, but she has always been It just didn't show up as desired.

As long as Jiang Fengchi gives her a chance in the next show, then she will definitely be able to turn over from the quagmire of the current public opinion, leaving those who question her speechless.

"Yes! It's unfair to others! But are you fair to me?"

On a dark night, Jiang Fengchi looked at the hysterical girl in front of him, and suddenly felt a twitching pain in his heart. Never thought that the girl who used that warm language to light up his life would become like this now.

But even so, he still has no way to respond to the other party's expectations.

So in the end Jiang Fengchi could only choose to quit, "I'm sorry I can't help you, I can't do this, I will quit the show..."

No, this is not the answer she wanted.

Ruan Tao looked at Jiang Fengchi like this, and after a long while she suddenly shook her head, her face stopped crying, and she turned to look at Jiang Fengchi intently.

"No, you don't need to quit."

Ruan Tao's usual sweet voice suddenly changed in tone in the sudden rush of the night wind, with a little subtle emotion, she said word by word: "I just quit!"

Ruan Tao left, and as she said, withdrew from the show.

The reason why Jiang Fengchi chose to quit is not that he wants to keep Ruan Tao. The other party's state is obviously not suitable for this show. Even if she stays, she may break out again anytime and anywhere. It may be a good thing for Ruan Tao to quit now. .

But even so, Jiang Fengchi couldn't push the matter completely.

He couldn't forget Ruan Tao's eyes that night.

As Ruan Tao said, if it wasn't because he gave the other party the luxury of crossing the line, this kind of thing would not have happened at all.

Therefore, in Jiang Fengchi's heart, he has a deep sense of self-blame and guilt. At the same time, his doubts about himself have taken root in his heart again

. Can he be a good mentor to the rest of the players?

The people he once sincerely wanted to thank have become what he is today because of him. Can he really guide those young children to go further?

He felt bewildered.

"Mr. Jiang."

Qiao Mo's voice made Jiang Fengchi pull away from his thoughts, and when he looked up, he saw Qiao Mo's determined eyes, and the other party said to him in a serious tone, "Although I don't know what happened. , but I believe that if it was Teacher Jiang, you would definitely not do anything wrong."

"Since you did nothing wrong, why do you feel confused?"

Qiao Mo used the words that sounded a little childish, and it was easy. It shattered Jiang Fengchi's inner defence line.

He still can't let go of this stage.

He also wants to witness the growth of these players.

Even if he did it again, he still wouldn't agree with Ruan Tao's request.

Because this is him, this is him.

The picture of "Pick Eleven" was playing on the LED screen outside the building. Jiang Fengchi's eyes flickered, and finally he took a deep breath and nodded as if he had made up his mind.

"Thank you."

Jiang Fengchi said softly, with an unprecedented ease in his heart.

At this time, he noticed that there were many other players standing in the corner behind Qiao Mo. When they saw this, they slowly stepped forward and asked worryily, "Mr. Jiang, do you really want to quit?"

Jiang Fengchi's gaze swept over the players one by one, paused for a while, and finally shook his head.

"I really want to see you stand on the stage with my own eyes."

As soon as the man's voice fell, there was a burst of cheers at the scene. The contestants hugged happily and couldn't help but high-five each other.

When the director heard the news, he was naturally overjoyed. A tricky hand was solved like this. When he earned that it was Qiao Mo and the others who persuaded Jiang Feng to change his mind, he immediately had a good impression of Qiao Mo in his mind.

Although Qiao Mo said that they did nothing and that Teacher Jiang figured it out by himself, the director didn't think so. He patted Qiao Mo's shoulder to express his affirmation to them.

The short vacation soon came to an end, and at the same time, an amazing news spread among the players, that is, Ruan Tao announced that she regretted withdrawing from the recording of "Pick Eleven" due to aggravated leg injury. At the same time, the announcement of the departure from Galaxy has sparked a lot of discussion among fans.

But soon the attention of the players was attracted by the more tense recordings that were waiting for them, and they had no time to estimate the news of the other players. The players would prepare for the upcoming second public.

In order to avoid controversy, the program team did not fill Ruan Tao's second-place position, so now there are only ten contestants in class A, and a total of 70 contestants will participate in the second performance. At the same time, after the performance, class D It will be disbanded, which means that another twenty-five players will leave the scene, and only the top forty-six players will be eligible to stay.

For a time, the atmosphere was tense again, and the sense of crisis of elimination was pressing every player present.

"In the second performance, you will face a new challenge."

Jiang Fengchi's deep, mellow, wine-like voice was clearly transmitted to every contestant's ears through the microphone. He raised his eyes and looked anxiously at the audience. The waiting players, just this simple action, turned the scene into a dazzling stage with undulating and flickering spotlights.

"In this round of performances, ten players from class A will be the captains, and teammates will be selected in the order of rating. After the team is completed, you need to invite guests other than the mentor as your partner to complete the selection of music, lyrics, and choreography with you. Wait for the work, and finally complete the stage of the second public together."

This means that everyone will have an opportunity to invite foreign aid.

The strength of foreign aid will even determine the success or failure of this performance to a certain extent!

Hearing this, the players on the scene held their breaths.

This will undoubtedly be a huge challenge for the rookie players.
