Chapter 360: Taking the audience to the wilderness again

Meng Chao sat in the nanny car with a frown on his face, holding his cell phone tightly in his hand. On the screen was the message he had just sent to An Yifei, explaining everything that happened at the airport.

He knew very well that in this age of information explosion, a piece of false news was enough to create a huge wave, let alone a scandal about him and a high-profile public figure like Lee Ji-eun.

“Yifei, you have to believe me. Lee Ji-eun and I are really just friends and colleagues. I went to pick her up at the airport because I needed to arrange her schedule. It was purely out of work considerations.” Meng Chao wrote in the message, every word revealing his anxiety and sincerity.

After a while, the phone vibrated. An Yifei’s reply made Meng Chao feel relieved: “Meng Chao, I believe you. The relationship between us cannot be shaken by these rumors. Moreover, I know you and know that you are not the kind of person who will be easily tempted.”

Seeing An Yifei’s trust and understanding, Meng Chao felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He understood that no matter how noisy the outside world was, as long as they trusted each other, nothing could shake their relationship.

However, the impact of this scandal goes far beyond this.

Lee Ji-eun’s agency also responded quickly, issuing a statement denying the relationship between the two and emphasizing that they are just partners who are jointly committed to the development of their music career.

At the same time, they also called on the media and fans to focus on Lee Ji-eun’s works rather than over-interpreting her private life.

Despite the clarification from the agency, the online discussion has not subsided.

On the contrary, the denials from both parties made the scandal even more confusing, sparking more curiosity and speculation.

Meng Chao knew very well that the best way to completely calm down this storm was to let his works speak for themselves.

So, he decided to speed up the process of preparing a new album for Lee Ji-eun and An Yifei, and use music to respond to all doubts and speculations.

In the following days, Meng Chao devoted almost all his energy to music creation.

He worked day and night, constantly trying new musical styles and elements, striving to create unique works for the two female singers.

At the same time, An Yifei also demonstrated her professionalism and dedication in the crew.

She devoted herself to the role and won unanimous praise from the director and crew with her superb acting skills.

Lee Ji-eun returned to China and began preparing for the recording of her new album.

With Meng Chao’s careful planning and unremitting efforts, the production of the new album is gradually coming to an end.

Not only has he integrated a variety of musical styles, he has also skillfully incorporated Chinese and Western elements, making each album unique, retaining the singer’s original charm while adding a sense of freshness.

Meng Chao knows very well that music is the most direct language to communicate with the soul. He hopes that through these works, he can convey positive energy and his pure love for music to the audience.

Despite her busy life on the set, An Yifei also took time out to participate in the post-production of the album. She personally selected several songs for recording, delicately incorporating her emotions into every note.

Her voice is gentle and powerful, as if it can penetrate the softest part of people’s hearts, giving listeners endless comfort and strength.

Whenever it was late at night, she would discuss the details of the songs with Meng Chao through video calls. The tacit understanding and cooperation between the two made this album more perfect.

After returning to China, Lee Ji-eun quickly plunged into the intensive recording of her new album.

Not only did she participate in the creation of the song, she also personally took part in the shooting planning of the MV, striving to ensure that every scene could accurately convey the emotions of the song.

With her unique musical talent and soulful performance, Lee Ji-eun makes every song full of story, as if every word of the lyrics is a true reflection of her inner thoughts.

During the breaks in recording, she did not forget to interact with fans through social media, sharing her musical experiences, and using practical actions to prove her love for music and her appreciation for her fans.

As the release date of the new album approaches, Meng Chao began to plan a series of promotional activities, aiming to let more people hear and like the works of these two female singers through various forms such as offline concerts and online live broadcasts.

He knows very well that the power of music lies in resonance, and the best way to promote it is to let the music speak for itself.

As the scandal gradually faded from the public eye, the new albums of An Yifei, Lee Ji-eun and Meng Chao were like a breath of fresh air, sweeping the entire music scene.

After the album was released, it quickly topped major music charts and received rave reviews.

Music fans were deeply moved by their music and said that this was a true music feast that had nothing to do with scandals but only about passion and talent.

After finishing this matter, Meng Chao felt a little empty.

After thinking about it, he felt that he still needed to do a live broadcast.

He’s been under a lot of pressure recently and feels like he needs to go to the wilderness to relax.

His base is in the wilderness, and the audience has always wanted Meng Chao to go to the wilderness again.

Of course, one lucky audience member will be picked to go with you.

Meng Chao opened his live broadcast platform and posted a preview: “Hello everyone, I’m Meng Chao! I’ve been busy with the new album recently, and I feel empty inside. I miss you guys and the vast wilderness. So, I decided to start a special live broadcast next week – wilderness adventure! Moreover, this time I will bring a lucky audience with me. Do you want to be the one to explore the unknown with me? Come and join the interaction!”

As soon as the news came out, fans were instantly excited. In the comment area, everyone left messages, some expressed their love for Meng Chao’s new album, some expressed their anticipation for wilderness adventures, and many more expressed their desire to become lucky viewers.

“Meng Chao, you are finally going back to the wilderness! We have been waiting for you for so long!”

“I want to sign up! I want to be the lucky audience member!”

“Meng Chao, your new album is amazing, but the wilderness is your home turf!”

After Meng Chao sets up the lottery, the lucky audience member will be drawn tomorrow.

After doing this, Meng Chao hugged An Yifei.

He and An Yifei have been together for more than ten days. After An Yifei finished filming and making her album, she stayed in Meng Chao’s house.

“Done?” An Yifei leaned in Meng Chao’s arms.

Although she really wanted to go with Meng Chao, she still held back.

Because it would be easy to expose their relationship, she didn’t want to make things difficult for Meng Chao.

Meng Chao nodded gently, his eyes full of tenderness and gratitude: “Well, it’s done. Thank you, Yifei, you always understand me and support me.”

An Yifei smiled slightly, with happiness shining in her eyes: “As long as you are happy, I am happy. Besides, I know you love the wilderness, where your dreams and stories are. I just hope that no matter where you go, you can remember that there is someone here waiting for you and supporting you.”

Meng Chao held An Yifei’s hand tightly and gently placed her fingers on his cheek, feeling the warmth and strength from the bottom of his heart: “Of course I will remember you. You are not only my lover, but also my best friend and comrade-in-arms. We have been through so much together, and each time has strengthened our relationship.”

The two smiled at each other, as if all their worries and pressures disappeared at this moment. They knew that no matter how noisy the outside world was, as long as they trusted and supported each other, nothing could shake their relationship.

The next day, Meng Chao picked the lucky viewer on the live broadcast platform. He excitedly contacted the other party and sent staff to pick him up. This time, they were going to a deserted island.

They also brought nothing with them and the two of them had to take on the challenge for 20 days.

Lucky is a girl, only 19 years old, who is bored at home during the recent summer vacation.

She seemed very excited when she received Meng Chao’s call.

The lucky girl’s name is Lin Qian, and she could hardly believe her ears when she received a call from Meng Chao’s assistant, Meng Chao. She has always been a loyal fan of Meng Chao, and she was excited and nervous to be able to embark on a wilderness adventure with her idol.

Lin Qian quickly packed her bag and rushed to meet up with Meng Chao.

When she saw Meng Chao, she was so excited that she could hardly speak.

Meng Chao patted her shoulder affectionately and said with a smile, “Lin Qian, welcome to join our expedition team! In the days ahead, it will depend on the efforts of both of us.”

Before departure, Meng Chao introduced the expedition plan and precautions to Lin Qian in detail. He patiently explained every detail to ensure that Lin Qian could fully understand and be prepared.

Lin Qian listened with great interest, her heart filled with yearning and expectation for the unknown world.

Finally, the day of departure arrived. Meng Chao and Lin Qian boarded a small boat, braving the sea breeze, and headed towards the deserted island.

Along the way, they admired the beautiful scenery of the sea and were always prepared to face possible challenges.

[Brother Chao, you really didn’t choose it on purpose? ]

[She is so beautiful, and her looks are not inferior to those female artists at all. Could she be an artist from Chao Ge’s company? ]

[This woman seems familiar, is she a student at the music school? ]

[No way, no way, is this really an artist from Chao Ge’s company? ]

“Of course not, but if Lin Qian is interested and has the ability, I will indeed sign.”

“Our company has very high requirements for signing people.” Meng Chao said very directly.

Right now his company only has one person, IU. If he wants to sign a contract with her, he has to at least reach IU’s level.

When Lin Qian heard Meng Chao’s words, she smiled in surprise and shyness. Although she has always loved music, she never thought that she would have the opportunity to become a member of Meng Chao’s company and fight side by side with those artists whom she could only look up to on the screen.

“Brother Meng Chao, I…can I really do it? I have always loved music, and have been working hard to learn and practice, but I don’t know if I can meet your requirements.” There was a hint of uncertainty in Lin Qian’s voice, but more of it was a vision and desire for the future.

Meng Chao looked at her, with a hint of appreciation and encouragement in his eyes. “Lin Qian, everyone has potential. The key is whether you are willing to work hard to tap it. Your voice is very unique, and I can feel your love for music. As long as you are willing, I can provide you with opportunities, but remember, opportunities always come to those who are prepared.”

Lin Qian nodded heavily, with a determined light in her eyes. “Thank you, Brother Meng Chao! I will definitely work harder and live up to your expectations.”

As the boat slowly approached the deserted island, Meng Chao and Lin Qian’s adventure officially began.

“Viewers, we have landed on the island successfully.” Meng Chao said to the camera, then waved to the staff.

“Brother Chao, what should we do first?” Lin Qian asked directly.

After all, they had nothing with them but the clothes on their backs.

Just like the last time when Meng Chao challenged alone, this time there was just one more lucky spectator like him.

“The first step is to pick up the trash. We have never cleaned the beaches here. Everything is in its original state.”

As he spoke, the camera turned to the beach.

[Oh my god, so much garbage? ]

[Isn’t this pollution too serious? ]

[Luckily this happened overseas. If it happened in China, people would have spit on me.]

【With so much garbage, there’s really no need to bring any tools. 】

[I see you are here to pick up trash, right? ]

[I’m curious about what can be used in these garbage, it looks like it’s mostly white foam. ]

[I saw a lot of bottles, some glass and some plastic.]

[I’m curious, is there fresh water on this island? ]

Facing various questions and comments from the audience in front of the camera, Meng Chao explained with a smile: “Yes, everyone has looked carefully, there is indeed a lot of garbage problem on the beach here. But this is also an important purpose of our expedition – environmental protection. We hope that through our actions, we can arouse more people’s attention to environmental protection.”

He turned to look at Lin Qian and encouraged her, “Lin Qian, let’s split up and see what resources we can find on the beach. At the same time, we can clean up the garbage here. Remember, safety comes first. Don’t go too far.”

Lin Qian nodded, her eyes gleaming with excitement, and she was obviously looking forward to this adventure.

There was so much white foam that Meng Chao felt like he had no idea where to start.

He planned to look for a bag or rope to collect the white foam.

When my staff comes to pick me up, I will pack up the garbage and take it away. It can be considered as a small favor.

Meng Chao rummaged through the trash to see if he could find what he needed.

“You see, this kind of metal bottle cap is still very useful. If we collect enough of them, we will have enough iron to forge weapons and tools.” As he said this, Meng Chao took off a cap from a glass bottle.

At the moment, it has no rust and does have some value.

However, there are still very few such bottle caps.

Many of them are plastic bottles, and their caps are plastic.

At this moment, Lin Qian suddenly ran over carrying an iron bucket covered with rust.

She knew that this iron bucket was very valuable and could be given to Meng Chao to forge knives.
