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?”
