Chapter 341: Standing up for the Idol

Chapter 341: Standing up for the Idol

“To be exact, it’s 1.23 million copies! Cumulatively as of last week, the sales reached 2.54 million copies. Cumulative downloads across the globe exceeded 500 million, including 50 million downloads of the title track ‘Confessions’,” Su Ruowan said arrogantly.

Second Brother was a national idol that was very talented. In the two months after the release of Su Muyan’s songs, no singer dared to release an album for fear of being crushed by him.

“Brother Yan’s new song next month is gonna be amazing! He’s gonna crush any other albums that are released close to his.”

“F*ck, he’s releasing his new album on the 18th? He Pei just re-posted a video of his junior in the same company a few days ago. That singer’s also releasing a song on the 18th!”

“Who is it? Is it an old-timer?”

“No, it’s a newcomer. I forgot his name. There were only two verses in the video. He also did a simple self-introduction without revealing his face.”

“Afraid to show his face? He must be an ugly *ss. It’s not easy to find a handsome and talented singer like Second Brother!”

“I think so too. The newcomer’s just faking it. He’s so ballsy to release his songs on the same day as Second Brother. It’s simply suicide!”

When the girls learned that a new artist intended to release his album on the same day as Su Muyan, they burst out laughing. They applauded the newcomer’s bravery as if he were a newborn calf who had no fear of a tiger. However, the braver one is, the more miserable one’s death will be.

Shen Xi overheard their worthless discussion and sneered. The short-haired girl hooked her finger and whispered a few words to her.

The girl’s name was Chu Ying. She was the closest to Song Wenye and was closer to Shen Xi than the other girls were. She slammed the table as she stood up and pointed at Su Ruowan’s group. “Did you all grow up eating shit?”

Chen Bingbing’s face changed. She dropped her chopsticks and said, “Chu Ying, what the hell do you mean by that? Do you wanna fight because we taunted you?”

Chu Ying sneered. “Are you sure you can beat us?”

Chen Bingbing’s face turned red with anger and saw that Chu Ying had twice as many people on her side. She knew her group could not beat them. “What do you mean by that?!”

“So you guys can insult my idol but I can’t stand up for him? You can scold my idol behind his back, so why can’t I scold you guys?” Chu Ying was arrogant.

Chen Bingbing asked, “Who’s your idol? When did we scold your idol?”

Chu Ying replied, “That new singer you guys were making fun of is my idol, Qi Xiu! I’ve been following him for a long time and I like him.”

When Chen Bingbing heard this, she laughed sarcastically. “I suppose it’s only natural for such a celebrity to have a fan of… Zero quality.”

Chu Ying pointed at them. “You insulted my idol and now you’re insulting me? Which of you made fun of my idol just now? Apologize!”

Chen Bingbing retorted. “We haven’t done any wrong. Is that idol of yours better looking and more talented than our Brother Yan? Will his album sell better than Brother Yan’s when the time comes?”

Chu Ying was annoyed and she looked like she was ready to fight anyone. “How are you so sure that my idol is worse than Su Muyan? What if he’s more handsome, more talented, and sells more copies than Su Muyan? Are you guys gonna kneel and eat shit in front of me?”

Chen Bingbing was infuriated. “If this little fart of a singer were to sell more copies than our Brother Yan, then I’ll buy a thousand albums in one go to boost his sales!”

‘F*ck, how can a newcomer dare to compete with Brother Yan?! They’re so shameless! Their heads must be stuck in the clouds!’

“You’ve said it yourself!” Chu Ying looked at them arrogantly. “One thousand is not enough. You guys should show some sincerity, 10,000 copies each!”

Chen Bingbing laughed at her words. “Fine! We’re not afraid of you! If your idol can’t beat Brother Yan, then each of you here has to buy 10,000 copies of Brother Yan’s album. Do you think you’ve got what it takes for this bet?”

‘Nowadays, there’s a fan for everything. Since the new singer is He Pei’s junior, I’ll give him the benefit of doubt.’

“Whoever backs out is a coward!” Chu Ying slammed the table again. “My only concern is if we compare their looks and talents, you’ll accuse us of bullying you. I’m worried Su Muyan will appear inferior in comparison to my idol’s divine face and talent. We’ll bet based on album sales in the first month. Whoever earns more money will win.”

“Fine, whatever you say.” Chen Bingbing was not the slightest bit afraid.

For the sake of defending her idol, Chu Ying went crazy.

‘What kinda bullsh*t idol is that? Only a fool would think that a newcomer can beat Brother Yan.’

Let alone a newcomer, even a veteran singer in China with a solid fanbase would not even think of releasing their album at the same time as Brother Yan for fear of getting crushed by him.

After all, Brother Yan’s fans were all wealthy women who were willing to spend a lot of money on albums to boost sales. They were willing to spend to give Su Muyan good rankings, so singers who released songs around the same time as him, let alone a rookie, were quickly squashed by him.

Su Ruowan was feeling confident too and looked at Shen Xi’s group mockingly. She pulled Chen Bingbing’s hand and said, “Bingbing, don’t do this. 10,000 is a little overboard.”

Second Brother was releasing a second album with 12 songs that came with a signed poster. It was priced at 108 per album, so 10,000 copies would be 1.08 million bucks.

After hearing Su Ruowan out, the other girls in the Top Class hesitated too. 10,000 copies would total more than a million bucks, so it was not a small amount!

Although they were not lacking in money and could certainly amass such an amount, they were not willing to spend it on a bet and would rather buy bags, cosmetics, and clothes.

“Apologize to my idol now if you can’t afford to lose!” Chu Ying was backed by Shen Xi, so she was feeling confident. “I won’t be petty with you if you apologize.”

Chen Bingbing looked at the other girls and lowered her voice. “Do you really think that Brother Yan can’t even beat a new singer?”

‘Look at these cowards. It’s just one million yuan! If they don’t have the money, selling a few limited edition bags will be enough to cover it. Besides, how could Brother Yan lose to a new singer?’

Shen Xi spoke up in a loud enough voice so everyone could hear her. Her voice was charming and a little mocking. “Yingying, they don’t dare make this wager with you, so don’t give them a hard time. After all, it’s not just a few hundred bucks. A million yuan is the income of ordinary families for several years.”

Su Ruowan’s group of friends held various expressions when they heard Shen Xi. They felt agitated and shot daggers at Shen Xi.

Shen Xi was clearly mocking them and insinuating that they were poor. A million yuan might be the income of an ordinary family for a few years, but they were not from ordinary families.
