As soon as the trainee said this, everyone fell silent. Each of them had a script for this show. No one knew whether this trainee did this on her own initiative or it was arranged by the director.
But no matter which it was, directly questioning the tutor was clearly a way to stir up trouble.
Xiang Yutang was a bit nervous. She didn't want Zhu Zhengchu to be dragged down by her.
Zhu Zhengchu, however, was not flustered at all. He stood up unhurriedly. "First of all, in my own conception, the stage I want to present this time is not just the same old singing. The stage is not meant to restrict you to only do one thing. Instead, it's a platform for you to use your different abilities to present an amazing performance to the audience."
"Secondly, leaving popularity aside, Yutang has had zero mistakes in the previous performances and is widely recognized as the one with the best expressiveness. Every tutor except me wanted Yutang to join their teams. Does it become unfair just because Yutang has the ability to join? If you think you have better stage presentation skills than Yutang, you can show it to me now. If you really do, I'll replace Yutang."
The trainee's face turned red and then pale. She had some self - awareness and knew she couldn't compare with Xiang Yutang.
Zhu Zhengchu didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore. He softened his tone a bit. "If there are no other questions, go and try to join other tutors. If you're late, there won't be any spots left, and that would be a real loss."
Several trainees who had stayed to watch the show quickly ran out. They had been so engrossed in the drama that they almost forgot their main task.
After they left, Zhu Zhengchu started to communicate with the remaining trainees.
"It's a pity that Zhuo Ziyu didn't come. If she had, it would have been invincible." Zhuo Ziyu was the one whose singing most caught Zhu Zhengchu's attention in this batch of trainees. But it seemed he wouldn't be able to wait for her.
Zhu Zhengchu glanced at Xiang Yutang and got to the point.
"The song for this time is my debut song, 'Bright Moon'."
Everyone got a bit nervous. If they performed the senior's debut song poorly, they would surely be scolded.
"'Bright Moon' has a lot of vocal runs, so it requires a high level of singing skills from all of you. During our upcoming training, I may not be a very gentle tutor. I hope all of you can prepare yourselves mentally in advance." Zhu Zhengchu was well - known for being strict when it came to music. If anyone acted carelessly in front of him, they would either be kicked out of the show or directly out of the entertainment industry.
Everyone nodded, looking very nervous.
Zhu Zhengchu, who had just said he would be very strict, looked at Xiang Yutang. His tone suddenly became much gentler. "Yutang, do you have anything to say?"
"No, no." Xiang Yutang quickly shook her head.
The other trainees thought: The differential treatment is too obvious, isn't it?
After the groups were divided today, Zhu Zhengchu applied for a mobile phone for each trainee on behalf of the director's team. He let them go back and listen to the song to get a feel for it.
This group division was quite successful, and no one was left behind. There was a funny thing, though. The rap tutor was lying on the door and trying to snatch Zhuo Ziyu from Ying Zikui because Zhuo Ziyu had high rap talent. Moreover, she was beautiful and cute, and the rap tutor was extremely eager to have her. Later, Zhuo Ziyu still refused to be in the same group as her childhood friend.
The rap tutor was a bit hot - tempered and almost got into a fight with Ying Zikui. But it was just for fun and brought another hot topic to the program.
At dinner time, Ying Zikui finally found a chance to talk to Zhuo Ziyu and Xiang Yutang privately. Unfortunately, he only found Zhuo Ziyu, not Xiang Yutang.
"Where's Yutang? I haven't seen her all day. I thought she would come to choose me just now. But she didn't." Ying Zikui lost his mature look in front of Zhuo Ziyu and just sat on the ground casually.
Zhuo Ziyu pulled him up and made him sit on the chair. Her face showed helplessness. "I'll tell you something you definitely won't believe."
"What is it? Did Yutang lose her memory?" Otherwise, why didn't she stay with them?
Zhuo Ziyu said something even more shocking than memory loss to Ying Zikui. "Yutang is in a relationship."
Ying Zikui couldn't help but jump up. "What did you say? Xiang Yutang is in a relationship? Does Ultraman Tiga really exist?! No way!" He had grown up with Xiang Yutang since childhood and knew exactly what she was like. She only had Ultraman Tiga in her heart.
Zhuo Ziyu couldn't help but laugh. "It's not Ultraman."
"Then who is it? Is it a boy or a girl? Wait, don't tell me she's in a relationship with you?!"
"What are you talking about? Don't be so dramatic. It's Zhu Zhengchu." Zhuo Ziyu trusted Ying Zikui not to spread the word, so she dared to tell him.
Ying Zikui's expression became indescribable. "Really? Zhu Zhengchu?! Does Zhu Zhengchu even take a fancy to Yutang?!"
Zhuo Ziyu said angrily, "What do you mean?!"
"Don't be angry. I'm not saying Yutang is not good. In my heart, Yutang is excellent in every aspect except for her brain and is comparable to a goddess. But Yutang can't sing. I remember this Zhu Zhengchu loves singing, right?"
"Right. So they complement each other. Isn't that good?" Zhuo Ziyu didn't want Ying Zikui to know too much about Zhu Zhengchu for the time being, for fear that Ying Zikui would blurt it out to Xiang Yutang.
Ying Zikui stroked his chin. "It shouldn't be. It doesn't seem like Zhu Zhengchu is the type Yutang would like. Are you kidding me?"
"Why would I kid you? Otherwise, do you think why Teacher Zhu suddenly targeted you today? Because Yutang was very happy to hear you were coming, and Teacher Zhu got jealous."
"So that's it. I'm really getting shot for no reason. Does Yutang's family know about this?" Ying Zikui asked.
Zhuo Ziyu shook her head. "They don't know yet. Not many people know. Don't spread the word. Be careful Yutang beats you up."
Ying Zikui said arrogantly, "Now Xiang Yutang has a weakness in my hands! How dare she beat me up?!"
Zhuo Ziyu said gently, "She may not dare, but I do."
Ying Zikui shivered. For some reason, Zhuo Ziyu was always extremely gentle to others, but it seemed like she could go into a rage at any time when it came to him.
"I didn't expect that among the three of us, Yutang would be the first one to get out of the single status. Tsk tsk." Ying Zikui suddenly sighed about the unfairness of fate. He was so handsome but had been single for so long.
Zhuo Ziyu said, "It all depends on fate. Complaining won't help."
"Hey, Ziyu, you're so beautiful, and I'm so handsome. How about we get together?" Ying Zikui nudged Zhuo Ziyu.
Zhuo Ziyu patted his head. "You're so disrespectful. Call me sister."
"What sister? You're only one month older than me. Don't be so proud."
"One month older is still your sister. Call or not!"
"I'll call. Sorry! Sis!"
