Shi Shulei took a deep breath and thought to himself, “No wonder Liu Jingshen, Ji Jiayi and Lu Xiangchen mobilized their fans so actively on Weibo during previous rounds of voting.”

They even personally dispatched fan groups to canvass for votes.

Tums out they were canvassing votes for their junior.

Zhang Zhisheng took a deep breath, and smiled wryly while in shock, “Then why didn’t you tell us all this while!”

“aiya! My brother-in-law called this masquerading as a pig to eat a tiger. If not, once the rest of the guests find out and decide to plot against me, what will I do? It’ll be better to hide it first, and catch people off guard with this ace card later,” Tan Jinsheng exposed Wei Zhiqian without hesitation.

Shi Shulei and Zhang Zhisheng could not possibly speak out against Wei Zhiqian.

‘They were both at a loss for words.

Now that Tan Jinsheng had brought up Wei Zhiqian, they were not in a position to say more.

Shi Shulei laughed bitterly, “If I had known earlier, I would have added another line when promoting you. Student of Liu Shengtai, junior of Liu Jingshen, Ji Jiayi and Lu Xiangchen. In that case, you can’t be considered a pure newcomer. You’ll automatically be popular with your teacher and three seniors.”

“aiya! What if people suspect that I am the pre-determined champion?” Tan Jinsheng asked.

Shi Shulei and Zhang Jinsheng had no words.

The title sponsor was owned by his family. Wouldn’t he be suspected anyway just based on that?

Regardless, it was a fact.

They only knew now that Tan Jinsheng came from a famous faction.

Since he was Tan Jinsheng’s third senior, Lu Xiangchen was most likely to come as promised.

“all right, let me contact Heavenly King Lu then,” Shi Shulei planned to contact Lu Xiangchen personally to show respect.

Of course, Shi Shulei was worried that even he was not qualified enough.

But he did not have a choice. He was the most senior person in the program team.

“Director Shi, I’d also like to ask,” Tan Jinsheng said.

“Ask,” Shi Shulei responded immediately, “Go ahead and ask.”

Tan Jinsheng was now the biggest person in their program!

Shi Shulei even wanted to mention how he had failed to recognize how great Tan Jinsheng was in the past!

Tan Jinsheng was silent for a moment, then said, “I wanted to ask, is only one invited guest allowed?”

“Why? How many do you want to invite?” Shi Shulei was stunned.

‘Whenever other participants invited guest co-singers, it always took ages to arrange their schedules. Either that, or the guest was not suitable, or not available.

Decent guest co-singers could only be found after much difficulty.

But here, Tan Jinsheng actually thought one guest was too few?

“It’s like this. Besides my senior Lu, my seniors Liu and Ji also want to be my guest co-singers,” Tan Jinsheng explained.

‘Tan Jinsheng was too embarrassed to mention that his three seniors had even fought over the spot.

If he told them, it would sound like he was humble bragging.

So he did not say it.

But the truth is, all his three seniors really wanted to come.

Second Senior Ji had even asked, “Are the two of us not popular enough?”

As the heavenly king, there was no doubt that Lu Xiangchen was at the forefront of the music industry, leading new trends in music.

But Liu Jingshen and Ji Jiayi were also very established in their own fields.

In the singer-songwriter sphere, no one could surpass Liu Jingshen.

Liu Jingshen had even written many of Lu Xiangchen’s songs.

And in the rock music scene, Ji Jiayi was the undisputed number one.

JiJiayi’s fans could even be described as extremely wild and crazy.

Liu Jingshen said, “If only Xiangchen goes, people may think that your eldest and second seniors don’t treat you as well as Xiangchen does.”

JiJiayi agreed completely, “That’s right. Jinsheng, ask the program team if they can add two more spots.”

Liu Jingshen nodded, “This is the main issue. Xiangchen is busy touring right now, but still cares for you and is rushing back just to be your guest. It wasn’t right for him to take our spots – we’re his seniors after all, yet he had no intention of showing us respect. I do have to say, though, that it’s touching

that he wants to rush back despite being so busy.”

The four disciples were talking in a group voice call.

Lu Xiangchen heard Liu Jingshen’s words very clearly.

After hearing them, he was very troubled.

Although Liu Jingshen seemed to affirm his decision in the end, his words earlier were filled with resentment.

“So Jinsheng, go and ask the program team whether the three of us can be on the program together,” said Liu Jingshen.

JiJiayi rubbed his chin, and said, “It’ll be pretty novel for the four of us to form a group or band together.”

And that was how the question that Tan Jinsheng was now asking Shi Shulei came about.

Shi Shulei was now going through a host of complex emotions.

It was usually difficult to invite just one of Tan Jinsheng’s three seniors alone, plus it would cost a lot of money.

Not to mention inviting all three together. That was something that could only be done at the annual Spring Festival Gala.

Even then, each of them would have their own separate stages.

After all, each one was a big vocal. It would be too much to make all three of them sing together.

But now, Tan Jinsheng was saying that the three of them wanted to perform together on the same stage.

“Of course, from our program’s perspective, this is more than we could ever ask for. If I refuse, it would mean that I don’t know what’s good for me,” Shi Shulei’s feelings were complicated, “But if we do this for you, what about the other guests?”

Weren’t they not giving the other guests a way out?

Wasn’t Tan Jinsheng bullying them by doing this?

Although, even without Liu Jingshen and Ji Jiayi, it would not be easy for the other guests to win with the weight of Lu Xiangchen and Tan Jinsheng alone.

But dragging Liu Jingshen and Ji Jiayi in too would be too much!

Even if he wanted to win, he should not let the other guests lose too badly.

“Moreover, if others invite one guest and you invite three, should you win, people will say that you bullied them by numbers, and that you won by underhanded means,” Shi Shulei reminded him.

“Why don’t you change the rules then?” Tan Jinsheng decided to stop concealing his true intentions, “Just say we’re not limited to one guest, but we cannot invite more than five.”

Shi Shulei, “…”

‘The other participating guests would not be able to invite that many people. Even if they could, they would still have to rehearse.

Did Tan Jinsheng think that everyone else would be like him and his seniors? That having been together for so long, they would automatically have chemistry on stage?

Moreover, with so many people on stage, wouldn’t it be a huge mess?

Would they still be able to allow the individual characteristics of each person to shine?

But in all honesty, Shi Shulei indeed could not resist the opportunity to have Liu Jingshen, Ji Jiayi and Lu Xiangchen on one stage.

If they could do it, the final battle night of season one of I Sing would be an absolute, clear winner.

Shi Shulei struggled. There were two competing thoughts in his mind.

One, to ensure fairness of the show, felt that it would not be right to simply change the rules like that..
