Shishi dared not answer this question directly, after all, the camera was still recording. She was really afraid that she would leave behind some arrogant words on the international stage, which she would never be able to clear up after returning to China.

"Friendship first, competition second."

My attitude has always been, "I've said it, believe it or not, it's up to you." That's a pointless statement.

To everyone's surprise, Oliver seemed very excited.

"I thought you were an introverted person. After all, my friends all say that Eastern beauties are the most reserved. I never expected you to consider me a friend. Are you planning to develop a friendship with me?"

"Hehe, I really enjoy making friends." Shi Shi didn't believe it. With this generic answer, could you still find something to say?

The live stream camera kept cutting to the host, so viewers could only see one side of the screen, where Shi Shi and Oliver were talking. What they were saying, viewers didn't know.

Watching this scene on the screen, Fu Yingzhou's brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a mosquito.

Fu Jizhou pouted: "Brother, are you serious? You get jealous of everything, it'll only hurt you! Wouldn't it be better to be simple and straightforward?"

Fu Yingzhou rubbed his temples and said slowly, "What do you know? Your sister-in-law is too gentle and easy to talk to. There are too many wolves in sheep's clothing outside. I can only worry about her more."

"Tch, I don't know if it's because you insist on meddling, or if they asked you to interfere."

"Should I inform them and have your bonus for this month suspended?"

After reaching adulthood, members of the Fu family, except for those like Fu Yingzhou who had extra income, regardless of whether they were from the main branch or relatives, were all able to receive a share of the profits to varying degrees.

Since it's a dividend, there will always be times when the money isn't received on time; it's not unusual for it to be paid out a few months later.

After Old Master Fu stopped interfering in affairs a few years ago, these powers fell into the hands of Fu Yingzhou.

"Brother, you know how to manipulate me." Fu Jizhou's eyes darted around, as if he had thought of something. He said obsequiously.

"Brother, I've recently taken a liking to a car, but it's a bit pricey."

"Let your second uncle buy it for you."

Fu Jizhou pouted: "My dad's so stingy! He says cars are the worst investment. He even uses mine now! Can you believe how outrageous he is!"

Fu Yingzhou rolled his eyes at him: "Why don't you mention that your car has already filled up the garage of the old house and your private residence?"

"Brother, could you lend me a hand a little? I won't let you spend money for nothing. I'll give you some information in exchange!"

"Tell me first."

"You know who Fu Zhixu is, right?"

"If you keep talking nonsense, you'll be interfering with my viewing of the game. Your entire year's bonus will be cut off."

“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you! My sister-in-law’s ex-mother-in-law is obsessed with money. She contacted several media outlets, trying to get interviews by auctioning off some of Shi Shi’s things and belongings to create a sensation. Only two tabloids paid any attention to her.”

"Guess what? Fu Zhixu forbade his mother to go out and talk nonsense. As a result, he got slapped twice across the face by his mother. It is said that his face was swollen."

"And then what?"

"You can't even imagine the twist in the story: Fu Zhixu followed his boss's lead and sent his mother to a mental hospital."

"A mental hospital isn't a place for normal people!" he said, seemingly still bothered. Fu Jizhou concluded, "Luckily, my sister-in-law divorced him! That guy is ruthless."

"How do you know such detailed information?" Fu Yingzhou looked at him in confusion.

"Isn't it a coincidence? Fourth Brother and Fu Zhixu's younger brother, Fu Zhixiao, are classmates, and the two brothers are quite close. Both kids love racing cars, and I introduced them to it. Now they call me 'brother' all the time, they're really close to me."

"knew."

Seeing that his brother only said those three words and then stopped, he said in a huff, "I've told you everything. Don't forget about my car!"

"I didn't agree to that."

Just as Fu Jizhou was about to say something, Fu Yingzhou suddenly put his index finger to his lips.

Shh, she's about to sing!

Back on the field, the final order of appearance was Oliver, Shi Shi, and Oliver.

At this point, Oliver finished performing the first song of the second half of the show.

Shi Shi stepped onto the stage and began to interpret her "high heels".

Shi Shi prepared Taylor Swift's "Take It From Me." She wanted to express the affirmation of her self-worth gained through reflection on love.

The lyrics of this song are filled with complex emotions about love and an exploration of self-worth. The lyrics begin by posing the question: "What can I compare you to? A favorite pair of shoes?"

Before she time-traveled, the first song she heard was Tanya Chua's version of "Red High Heels." It wasn't until later, when the song was embroiled in plagiarism controversy, that she listened to "Take It From Me" out of curiosity.

To be honest, coincidences happen all the time. There are only 12 musical notes, so we can't conclude it's plagiarism just because the melody is similar. Who knows what's real and what's fake?

Moreover, she personally thought that Cai's version sounded much better than Taylor's version. However, this was in the context of an international competition.

"Take It From Me" is more suitable for the international market.

Anyway, she was determined to get Cai's version of "Red High Heels" out after returning to China, as another version of the song.

What can I say to you?

How can I best describe you?

A favorite pair of shoes

I would compare you to my favorite pair of shoes.

Maybe my bright red boots

If my bright red boots had wings

If they had wings

I would compare you to it.

Shi Shi sings this song in a soft, storytelling style. Through her own practice and systematic training, coupled with her naturally good foundation, Shi Shi now possesses a voice that sounds deeply moving even when singing the Great Compassion Mantra to a dog.

“take it from me

Please believe me.

We've got a good life

We will definitely be happy.

We've got a good life

We will definitely be happy.

As the last line of the lyrics was repeated over and over, people seemed to be hypnotized by Shi Shi, and didn't even have time to appreciate her lyrics.

After the song was finished, Shishi's score was announced.

Currently, the Chinese team is in first place overall, while the United States is in second place. Germany and the United States are clearly out of the top three.

Now it's Oliver's turn.

If his score reaches 98.5 or higher, he can overtake the United States and become second.

To win the championship, he must achieve a score of 99.75 or higher.

And 99.75 is a score that has never appeared in the third round of this competition!

Who will be the winner of this year's World Music Awards?
