Chapter 397: Chapter 397: Talent Show Program

"Second Aunt, I know you’re worried about Shixu interacting with outsiders because of past incidents, but protection must have its limits. He’s about to come of age, and if you don’t let go properly, how will he become a better person?"

Seeing Jiang Li directly address her actions, Shen Lan felt embarrassed and touched the tip of her nose.

"Ah, I’m just afraid, what if—"

"That won’t happen, Second Aunt," Jiang Li said. "I’ve calculated for Shixu, and the path he’s chosen is the right one, which will bring him good fortune continuously."

"Really?!"

With Jiang Li’s words, Shen Lan felt much more at ease. "Alright, I won’t let the PR team keep an eye on him anymore. You’re right, I do need to slowly let go."

"But Jiang Li, really, thank you. Without you, this family would have fallen apart long ago."

Shen Lan’s heartfelt thanks also warmed Jiang Li’s heart.

After hanging up the phone, she went straight to the instrument room.

Jiang Shixu had been working very hard recently.

In the morning he learned music with Zhou Wenshu, in the afternoon he reviewed professional courses, and in the evening he livestreamed.

He didn’t slack off for a single day.

His tight schedule had completely corrected his daily routine, and he was radiant and gradually gaining a youthful vitality.

"What else would everyone like to hear?"

On the screen, Jiang Shixu asked his fans in the livestream room with a smile.

From the window, Jiang Li glanced and saw that the online viewer count had already broken through a hundred thousand.

The comments scrolled in unison—

[Want to hear "Moonlight Song"!!!]

[Shiguang little brother, sing the "Cage" you performed before, it’s so good to listen to.]

["Cage" +1! This original song is really awesome, and the lyrics are so well written!]

[The host is so talented, writing songs at such a young age.]

Jiang Shixu smiled sheepishly, "The lyrics of this song were revised by the teacher; his contribution is quite significant. Since everyone wants to hear it, I’ll sing it again."

Soon after, a soulful and beautiful voice came intermittently from the instrument room.

Jiang Li stood at the door and listened intently.

Jiang Shixu’s voice was very pleasant, conveying emotion in a compelling lyrical way when he sang.

It was a rare and clean voice.

With Zhou Wenshu by his side to guide him, his vocal skills had improved to a professional level in a short amount of time.

Even Jiang Li couldn’t help but admire that he was truly born for this career.

About ten minutes later, the livestream ended, and Jiang Li pushed open the door and went inside.

Seeing her, Jiang Shixu was very happy.

"Sister? Did you come a while ago, why didn’t you come in?"

"You were livestreaming, how could I disturb you?" Jiang Li smiled. "How do you feel?"

Jiang Shixu bashfully lowered his head, "I, I feel quite good... I’ve been really happy recently."

On the platform, many people liked him, and his fan base had already reached over two million, with tens of thousands listening to his singing online every day.

He had never been affirmed or praised by so many people before.

He felt full of energy from head to toe.

Jiang Li looked at his increasingly robust Yintang and nodded in satisfaction.

It is said that popularity nurtures the soul; these four words indeed held truth. Positive and affirmative feedback is key to enhancing one’s spirit and luck.

And Jiang Shixu’s faltering fortune was being salvaged by these voices.

"Sister..." Suddenly, Shixu seemed preoccupied with thought and hesitated.

"What’s wrong? Is there something on your mind?"

"There’s something I’m not sure about..."

"Tell me."

Jiang Shixu glanced at Jiang Li and then bit his lip, running back to his room.

Five minutes later, he came back with a flushed face, holding something in his hand.

Jiang Li took it and saw it was an envelope containing a brightly colored invitation card.

On it were the shiny bold letters—

"Youth Trainee invitation"

"This is...."

"It’s an invitation to a talent show, new this year. Quyin is the sponsor, so ’Youth Trainee’ gave a few trainee positions to Quyin, with two selected from the music section, including me," Jiang Shixu explained quietly.

Jiang Li examined the invitation carefully.

Very formal, with addresses and contact details, and on checking, the organizers were a renowned talent agency. Their aim was to form a boy band through this show, infusing new blood into the entertainment industry.

Jiang Li immediately understood Jiang Shixu’s intentions and smiled, "Do you want to go?"

Jiang Shixu looked troubled, "But I still need to study, and grandfather, he...."

His father had already met opposition from his grandfather due to his artist status. If he got involved with the entertainment industry now, wouldn’t it strain their relationship even more?

But Jiang Li smiled and put her hand on his shoulder.

"If you want to do it, why care about what others think?"

"Just like when I supported your livestreaming, I will support you in entering the talent show now, as long as you make your decision and have the courage to face everything."

Talent shows were not as simple as livestreaming.

The hardships and toils behind it were unimaginable to ordinary people.

Firstly, he might not be able to persevere through the three-month intensive management of daily life.

It was hard enough to get him out of his bedroom door; if you made him live and sleep with a group of strangers, he might cry the training camp into a flood.

Yet seeing Jiang Shixu’s eyes gleaming with anticipation, Jiang Li couldn’t bring herself to douse his spirits with cold water.

"If you’ve made up your mind, then go and submit your registration materials."

"Although I support you, you still have to discuss this with your mom. After all, you’re not of age yet, and you need a guardian’s consent to participate in the show."

"Okay, big sister! I got it!"

Jiang Shixu happily took back the invitation, jumping for joy as if he had received incredible news.

"But big sister..." Then he looked worriedly at Jiang Li. "Are you really going to participate in that survival show? The people in the group chat have been discussing these past few days, saying that the show is dangerous. They all want to persuade you not to go."

Jiang Li keenly picked up on the keyword, "What group?"

Jiang Shixu’s expression froze on his face.

Crap!

How had he almost let the cat out of the bag?!

He absolutely couldn’t reveal that he was her hardcore undercover fan!

"No, nothing." Jiang Shixu’s face visibly reddened. "It’s just a group I joined randomly online; they, they just happened to be talking about you."

Jiang Li decided to let it slide without further questioning.

"Don’t worry. Even if others don’t believe in your big sister, don’t you believe in her?"

She was determined to participate in "Wilderness Survival 30 Days."

And she was determined to win the five hundred million prize money.
