The news of Cai Qiong's hospitalization was like a boulder thrown into a deep lake, causing a huge uproar in the entertainment industry and even in society as a whole.
However, it wasn't too late. After news of Cai Qiong's hospitalization broke, an anonymous netizen revealed that Cai Qiong had verbally abused Xiao Qingfeng before her hospitalization, using extremely vulgar and offensive language.
The media outlets launched in-depth investigations and reports surrounding this revelation.
The headlines of major entertainment news outlets were dominated by the "scandal" between Tsai Chiung and Hsiao Ching-feng.
The headline, “Cai Qiong’s hospitalization is suspected to be due to pressure from online public opinion; an anonymous staff member revealed that she verbally abused Xiao Qingfeng,” is eye-catching and jarring.
Online, the discussions among netizens are even more heated.
Some netizens expressed sympathy for Cai Qiong, believing that she might have lost control of her emotions under immense pressure.
"As a veteran singer, Cai Qiong may have felt unprecedented pressure in this fierce competition, and it's understandable that she was emotional," a netizen commented in the comments section.
However, many netizens expressed dissatisfaction with Cai Qiong's behavior.
"No matter what, swearing is wrong, especially for public figures who should be more mindful of their words and actions," another netizen countered.
Meanwhile, Xiao Qingfeng's fans stood up to defend their idol.
"Xiao Qingfeng has always been very hardworking and humble. He won the competition with his strength and should not be criticized unjustly." Fans started a topic on social media to support Xiao Qingfeng, which instantly attracted a lot of attention and participation.
This incident has also caused quite a stir within the music industry.
Some singers chose to remain silent, not wanting to get involved in the controversy.
Other singers, however, expressed their opinions on the matter privately.
Some people think Cai Qiong's behavior was a bit excessive, while others believe that in the fiercely competitive entertainment industry, losing control of one's emotions is inevitable.
Xiao Qingfeng was shocked and helpless upon learning the news, as he did not seem to have done anything wrong to Cai Qiong.
As the incident continued to escalate, Cai Qiong's management company found itself under immense pressure.
They had to issue a statement explaining Cai Qiong's hospitalization and stating that they would actively monitor her health and investigate the anonymous allegations in order to protect her reputation.
In the hospital, Cai Qiong lay on the hospital bed, her face pale.
After defeating two foreign singers, Xiao Qingfeng stated on Weibo that his return to the "Singer Who Makes Waves" stage was only to prove that Chinese singers are no less capable than foreign singers, and therefore he would not continue to stay on the stage.
The other initial singers all breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Xiao Qingfeng's statement. After all, with Xiao Qingfeng around, they were destined to lose, and lose badly.
Conversely, if Xiao Qingfeng were not present, although it wouldn't guarantee a win, the defeat wouldn't be too humiliating, and everyone's vote count would be within a reasonable range, without significant differences.
However, due to Cai Qiong's illness and hospitalization, there was one less singer in the initial lineup.
So the cunning Zong Hai set his sights on Xiao Qingfeng. Although Xiao Qingfeng couldn't continue participating, the singers under his company could, and anyone associated with Xiao Qingfeng could ride on his coattails.
Ultimately, at Zong Hai's strong invitation, Xiao Qingfeng decided to have his singer Zhang Qingchen participate in the program, temporarily replacing Cai Qiong as the starting singer.
As a challenger in the third season, I have now successfully challenged the existing contestants. Logically, in order to maintain the number of contestants in the competition, I should stay.
However, Xiao Qingfeng had already told Zong Hai from the beginning that he would only participate in one episode, so in the end, Zhuo Ziqi replaced Xiao Qingfeng.
As for his artist Han Ruoruo, Zong Hai also agreed to let her be a challenger in the fourth season.
It has to be said that "Singer Who Makes Waves" is one of the most-exposed music variety shows in China. Being able to appear on this show will definitely be very beneficial to the development of several of the singers under his management.
Therefore, this deal was a sure thing for Xiao Qingfeng, so he had no reason not to agree.
"Asian Star Night: A Musical Extravaganza Returns"
Recently, the entertainment industry has been focusing its attention on the 17th Asian Star Night, which will be held in Shenzhen.

Yong Kwon-ji is a household name in South Korea. He has won the hearts of countless fans with his unique musical style and highly infectious stage performance.
His musical works blend various elements, including popular rhythms and traditional charm, showcasing the unique appeal of South Korean music culture.
The addition of Yong Kwon-ji undoubtedly added a bright touch to this year's Asian Star Night.
The Asian Star Night is of great significance to the Asian music scene.
First, it provides a platform for singers from various Asian countries to showcase their talents on the international stage and enhance their international influence.
Secondly, through such a grand event, musical cultures from different countries and regions can be exchanged and integrated, promoting the common development of Asian musical culture.
Furthermore, the Asian Stars Night also brought a visual and auditory feast to music lovers, enriching people's spiritual and cultural lives.
Many singers were invited and began preparing to shine at the Star Night, and Xiao Qingfeng was among those invited this time.
When news broke that Xiao Qingfeng and Long Quanzhi would both attend the 17th Asian Star Night, the internet exploded.
Xiao Qingfeng's fans were initially caught between excitement and nervousness.
On the one hand, they were proud that Xiao Qingfeng could once again show his talent at such a high-profile music event, but on the other hand, they were also a little worried about the appearance of Long Quanzhi.
After all, Yong Kwon-ji has a huge fan base in South Korea and even throughout Asia, and his influence should not be underestimated.
Long Quanzhi's fans are also full of expectations for this grand event, and they firmly believe that their idol will shine the brightest at the Asian Star Night.
However, when they learned that Xiao Qingfeng would also be attending, a competitive spirit was instantly ignited.
Soon, a situation arose online where fans of both sides attacked each other.
Long Quanzhi's fans criticized Xiao Qingfeng's music style for lacking genuine artistic content.
"Xiao Qingfeng's songs are all mass-produced works, how can they compare to our oppa's classic works?" A loyal fan of Long Quanzhi commented on social media.
Xiao Qingfeng's fans were naturally not to be outdone, and they retorted: "What's so great about Long Quanzhi? No one can match our King Xiao's stage presence. He is the real Asian superstar."
The two sides went back and forth, and their words became increasingly heated, even involving insults and defamation of each other's idols.
"Yong Quanzhi is just a pretty face; he only knows how to make a living based on his looks."
"Xiao Qingfeng relies on his looks, while our Kwon Ji-hyo oppa relies on his talent." Such comments are common on the internet.
Some neutral netizens tried to mediate between the fans of both sides, but they were quickly drawn into the war of words.
"Everyone, calm down and don't lose your temper for your idols." Such voices were quickly drowned out by the arguments between the fans of both sides.
As the Asian Star Night approaches, this online war of words is intensifying.
The media have taken notice of this phenomenon and reported on it.
Some entertainment news headlines even prominently featured phrases like "Xiao Qingfeng and Long Quanzhi's fans clash, turning the Asian Star Night into a battlefield."
Throughout this process, Xiao Qingfeng and Long Quanzhi themselves remained silent.
They probably knew that any response at this time could trigger even greater controversy.
However, their silence did not quell the war of words; instead, it emboldened fans on both sides to defend their idols even more.
