“The competition is easy,” Mo Yutian said. “You just have to sing a few songs and send them over. I can help you with the recording.”
“But we don’t have any recording devices…,” Jing Xi said.
“You don’t have to worry about that. I’ve already ordered a new set, and they will arrive tomorrow.”
“What? Where did the money come from?”
“I’m coding for a gaming company right now. I bought them with my salary.”
Mo Yutian was proud of himself now that he could work and earn money.
“That’s really something!” Jing Xi exclaimed as she stuck up her thumb.
Jing Xi realized that she did not know much about the past of the man before her, but she knew that he had a lot of tricks up his sleeve.
It was a milestone for Mo Yutian to be able to get out of his shadow.
The recording devices arrived at their apartment the next day. Jing Xi recorded her first song with Mo Yutian’s help.
She chose the theme song for the drama Deep in the Shadows of the Stars, titled A Starry Sky.
Mo Yutian was her first listener.
He could still recall Jing Xi singing that song. There were a lot of covers made since then, but Mo Yutian believed that Jin Xiaoxi was the only one who could match the original.
Jing Xi and Jin Xiaoxi sang the song quite differently.
Jing Xi’s sound was pure and impactful.
While Jin Xiaoxi’s hoarse voice felt like a 100-year-old wine.
Jing Xi then sent the sample to the competition.
She did not have a high expectation for the outcome. She continued to record songs for Longwei after that.
…
Huo Sanyan could be seen sitting in her seat in the president’s office.
Her assistant brought the songs that passed the preliminary for her.
“President, these are the songs that have passed the preliminary,” the assistant said as she handed Huo Sanyan a USB drive.
“Thank you. You can leave now.”
Huo Sanyan waited until her assistant left before plugging the drive into her computer.
She started to listen to all the songs without checking who the singers were.
Among all of the songs, one caught Huo Sanyan’s attention.
The singer had a hoarse voice.
The song, A Starry Sky, was perfectly conveyed by the singer.
The voice sounded familiar to Huo Sanyan.
It sounded like Ye Fanxing.
Huo Sanyan quickly checked her screen for the singer’s name and saw Jin Xiaoxi’s name on it.
“Oh my god!” Huo Sanyan exclaimed as she remembered that Little Grape’s nanny was also called Jin Xiaoxi.
Huo Sanyan immediately had a hunch that Jin Xiaoxi might be able to topple Ye Fanxing’s recent dominance.
She decided to let Jin Xiaoxi into the next round.
In addition to Jin Xiaoxi, Huo Sanyan chose four other promising talents.
She sent all five of them to her brother.
She did not include the names of the singers and instead labeled them with numbers. She wanted Huo Yunshen’s expertise to judge who was the better one.
