Prince Charming with Super Brain - C121
Seeing this, Guo Qiang walked over and said with a smile, “Teacher Xie, you …” “What’s wrong?”
Seeing that the program’s assistant director had personally come over to inquire, Xie Jingbai gave her some face. He opened his eyes, but didn’t stand up from his seat. “Director Guo, you came at the right time. I suddenly feel unwell and can’t participate in the next performance anymore.”
Guo Qiang panicked upon hearing this, “The program has already started. Teacher Xie, how are we supposed to handle this if you say that you’re not participating?”
“It’s not that I don’t want to participate, it’s just that my body is too unwell and I can’t participate.”
“What’s wrong with you?”
“I feel uncomfortable all over.”
“Can’t you overcome it?”
“No.”
“Shall I get you a doctor?”
“I think I won’t be able to recover from my illness for four or five days, so there’s no need to go to all this trouble.”
When he said those words, Xie Jingbai had an expression that said ‘what can you do to me’. Even though Guo Qiang had a good temper, he was infuriated by him and started to speak.
“Teacher Xie, I must remind you that you have signed a contract with the company to act here. If you do not enter, we have the right to ask for your financial compensation.”
“Whoa, you’re scaring me.” Xie Jingbai laughed, “That’s right, I did sign the contract, right? Not a penny less. ”
As he spoke, he stood up and said, “I’ll be taking my leave first. Contact my manager regarding the specific compensation.”
“You went back on your word on the spot, didn’t Li Qiao promise you a lot of benefits?” Suddenly, Duan Lingfei’s voice came from outside the door.
The moment he opened his mouth, Lin Xiyue discovered him and immediately revealed a surprised expression.
“Lingfei, he …”
“Needless to say, I already know.” Duan Lingfei nodded to Lin Xiyue as a form of consolation.
“What are you talking about?” Xie Jingbai said with a frown, but his heart tightened.
The reason why he reneged on Li Qiao’s words on the spot was indeed because Li Qiao had taken advantage of him. Besides giving him a sum of money, the latter also promised to help him settle all the compensation issues and gave him a very promising contract.
Thus, Xie Jingbai unhesitatingly hugged Li Qiao’s thigh. Under the latter’s instructions, he first pretended to practice with Lin Xiyue for half a month, then suddenly excused himself after the official start of the program to say that he was not feeling well, and stopped midway.
In such a rush, even if Lin Xiyue wanted to switch seats at the last minute, it would be too late.
Of course, these matters had always been discussed privately between him and Li Qiao, and not a third person knew about it. Therefore, when Duan Lingfei told the truth straight away, Xie Jinglian’s heart couldn’t help but to thump.
However, at this time, he had no other way out.
“You are the one from the previous episode… That Duan Lingfei? ” Xie Jingguo frowned and thought for a moment, then said as if he had suddenly realized something, “I’ve seen your performance in the previous episode and saw it before. If I’m not wrong, you wrote the second half of ‘Enrichment’ long ago, didn’t you?”
Xie Jingkuan was also a songstress. When the “Evening Primrose” from the previous episode came out, he was actually shocked in his heart. Of course, he pretended to not notice it on the surface.
Hence, he could only take advantage of the fact that Duan Lingfei had created the song on the spot to attack him. He suspected that Duan Lingfei had written the next half of the song beforehand and purposely made it up on stage to advertise, and he also didn’t believe that anyone would be able to create such a high-quality work on the spot.
Duan Lingfei was too lazy to explain to Xie Jing Kuan’s question and directly walked past him as if it was nothing but air.
“Don’t worry, if he isn’t willing to help you with the show, I’ll be fine.” As Duan Lingfei spoke, he picked up a sheet of zither music from the table and casually flipped through it.
“You …?” Without waiting for Lin Xiyue to speak, Xie Jing Kuan started to laugh, “I’ve seen your piano performance before, it was pretty good. But I have to remind you, this performance is a combination of the piano and violin, do you know how to play the violin?”
As he said this, Xie Jingbai had a proud look on his face, because he was an expert in fiddles, and there weren’t many people who knew violins.
“Nope.” Duan Lingfei said calmly.
“Then why are you acting as this assistant?” Xie Jingbai sneered.
In order to prepare for this performance, the program team had arranged for someone to create a song with the piano and violin, and had kept it a secret all along. As a result, it was impossible for Duan Lingfei to have obtained the score beforehand.
It should not even be an hour since Lin Xiyue had appeared on stage. Forget about him not knowing how to play the violin, even if he found someone who knew how to play, they shouldn’t be able to pull it in such a short period of time.
Therefore, Xie Jingbai was not worried at all. He had originally wanted to leave, but now he was not in a hurry. He returned to his chair and sat down: “I’d like to see what abilities you have.”
Regarding his actions, everyone present had a look of disgust. Liu Yanxia frowned and took a step forward, but just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by Duan Lingfei. “It’s alright, since he wants to watch, let him watch.”
Since Duan Lingfei had already said that, Liu Yanxia didn’t say anything, but from the cold smile on the corner of his mouth, one could tell that after today, Xie Jingbai’s journey in the Entertainment Circle had probably come to an end.
“Director Guo, do you have any music guides that can play the violin?” Duan Lingfei turned and asked Guo Qiang.
“It should be, what do you mean …”
“Could you get one of them here, please?”
“Oh, okay.” Although he didn’t know what Duan Lingfei was up to, but the authorities had instructed him to treat these two as his lords. Guo Qiang didn’t dare to be negligent and ran out, bringing a woman in her thirties with him.
“This is our program team’s music director. Her name is Wei Xia, and she can play the violin.”
However, just as Guo Qiang finished speaking, Xie Jingbai started laughing maniacally: “What? Don’t tell me you want to play with Wei Wei? With her standards, can she even be a teacher? ”
Upon hearing this, Wei Xia’s face turned red, but she was unable to retort.
For large-scale music programs like “Who is the musician”, there would always be several music coaches. Although Wei Xia had graduated from the formal music academy, she was not a violinist. Therefore, she could only be considered an amateur in this area.
However, Guo Qiang couldn’t find anyone else in such a hurry, so he could only call her over.
However, Duan Lingfei did not seem to hear Xie Jingbai’s words, he smiled and said to Wei Xia: “Teacher Wei, can I trouble you to show me this score?”
As he spoke, he handed over the zither music manual in his hand.
