Chapter 601 The Reputation of the Yu Dynasty is Indeed Not Unfounded_1
Is the training center now expanding their course sales to the entertainment industry?
And it's the newly added Han Continent dialect—
English?
Damn, they really keep up with the times.
That's the subconscious thought of the insiders who have this group of singer friends.
Then people thought of something else, like the Yu Dynasty wanting to release an English song?
That's not unusual.
For career development, some singers voluntarily learn dialects from other continents, and then release corresponding songs.
For instance, Sun YaoHuo had specifically learned Qi language.
Mastering an additional language is beneficial for a singer.
...
They're really efficient.
Lin Yuan applauds them.
What he doesn't know is, for this matter, Sun YaoHuo has created an English-learning chat group, with all the members of the Yu Dynasty invited.
Weihao is included.
Upon being added to the group, Wei Haoyun saw the member list, was overjoyed, ecstatically grabbed his manager's hand, and exclaimed:
"I'm in the Yu Dynasty's group!"
The manager was also quite happy: "It appears that you've been recognized by the Yu Dynasty."
"I must get along well with everyone!"
Wei Haoyun was eager to fit into the Yu Dynasty, so he typed in the chat: "English is so hard to learn!"
Immediately.
There were responses in the group:
Jiang Kui: "I agree. I gave up after a bit of study."
Chen Zhiyu: "I've given up struggling too. Just can't learn it."
Sun YaoHuo: "Eh, seems like I'm destined not to sing English songs. My pronunciation is awful."
Zhao Ying Ge: "Did an hour and I've completely given up on English. Thankfully, it's not on the exam."
Wei Haoyun said: "We still have to learn. Teacher Admirable Fish said there might be English songs for us to sing in the future. And I've seen everyone's WeChats, your English seems quite good. Unlike me, I learned for half a day and only got the word lucky."
"Can't learn."
"So unlucky."
"Too hard."
"You hang in there."
"WeChat posts were all copied. I've given up on English songs anyway."
Everyone appeared to be defenseless.
Wei Haoyun paused a bit, looked at his manager, and said excitedly:
"Great! If everybody doesn't want to learn English, doesn't that mean I'll be the only one who can sing Teacher Admirable Fish's English song once I learn it? Talk about holding a monopoly!"
...
The manager glanced at the chat, then gave Wei Haoyun a deep look, his back breaking into a cold sweat.
"The Yu Dynasty, truly living up to its name."
"Huh?"
Wei Haoyun seemed puzzled: "Is anything wrong?"
"Innocent!"
The manager scoffed: "All this about 'English being too hard to learn', 'I'm giving up struggling', is all bullcrap. It's the Yu Dynasty's tactic to lull their competitors into a false sense of security.
They are trying to give you the illusion they've given up learning English, to have you lower your guard or even give up too, when in fact, they might be working their tails off learning English behind your back!"
Wei Haoyun paused: "It can't be that serious, right?"
The manager scoffed again: "Have you ever met people like this in school before?"
"Which kind?"
"Back in school, there was this group of people who would often say things like 'Damn, I was playing games all yesterday, didn't study at all', 'I'm done for, did terribly on this exam', 'I didn't listen at all during class', and whatnot. But when exam results came out, they ended up either first in the class or second in the grade."
Wei Haoyun was startled: "You know, now that you've mentioned it, those top students in our class did that a lot."
"These people are what we call 'studious posers'!"
The manager snarled: "People in the Yu Dynasty are representatives of these 'studious posers', it seems that the internal competition within the Yu Dynasty is bloody!"
"You're exaggerating! Don't make them out to be so sinister."
Wei Haoyun waved his hand, his manager was good in many aspects, but he was too suspicious and saw people as overly complicated.
...
On the other side.
Jiang Kui put down her phone and started to seriously read the "Introduction to English Grammar", taking notes as she read.
Her notebook was already filled with densely packed knowledge points.
Zhao Ying Ge put down her phone, turned to her manager, and said, "Find me an English tutor for tomorrow. We can push back some of the engagements on my schedule."
While talking, she opens a Han Continent movie, with English subtitles.
Xia Fan puts down his phone, skillfully reciting the "phonetics" from a book.
Chen Zhiyu puts down his phone and looks at his friend from Han Continent, "Continue teaching me how to sing English songs."
Sun Yaohuo puts down his phone, smiles slightly, and says in absolutely fluent English:
"Piece of cake."
Where is there a hint of imperfect pronunciation?
Just like that.

A few days later, Lin Yuan suddenly called the singers of the Yu Dynasty to the company.
Wei Haoyun was also called over.
Wei Haoyun is not a singer of Starlight.
But obviously, Wei Haoyun is now "physically in the Cao camp but mentally in the Han".
This also has to do with Wei Haoyun's contract coming to an end.
Once the contract officially ends, she can join Starlight.
"Miss assistant, can I sneakily ask, what did Teacher Admirable Fish call us over for?"
Wei Haoyun softly asks Admirable Fish's assistant Gu Dong.
Gu Dong smiles slightly, "Perhaps it's to test your English proficiency."
Wei Haoyun's spirit is immediately uplifted!
She recently put in a lot of effort to learn English. Today, she is destined to leave a deep impression on Teacher Admirable Fish!
Five minutes later.
Lin Yuan appears in the office.
The singers of the Yu Dynasty, all look towards Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan smiled, "Sorry for the delay. I just want to check how your English proficiency is. Here is a simple English text. Everyone, try reading it. Who would like to go first?"
"Me first!"
Wei Haoyun excitedly said.
Lin Yuan nods, "Skip the words you can't read."
Wei Haoyun picks up the text and stammers, "today is...sunday,ben and his uncle, jack...are making..."
It must be said that Wei Haoyun is learning very quickly.
She identifies all but five words in this text, with a few she recognizes but doesn't remember how to pronounce, so she substitutes them with Mandarin.
After finishing, Wei Haoyun reveals a confident smile.
Her reading isn't good, and her pronunciation is also a mess, but for someone who has only learned English for a few days, this level is already remarkable.
The newly hired English teacher even complimented her talent.
Lin Yuan nods, "Not bad. Who's next? Let's change the text. The difficulty won't differ much."
"It's me."
Jiang Kui speaks up.
Lin Yuan nods again.
"Hi Lucy, I was glad to get your e-mail, Let me tell you some-thing about my family..."
Wei Haoyun is suddenly stunned!
Didn't Jiang Kui say in the group chat that he has given up learning English?
This sounds way too good!
At this point, Wei Haoyun suddenly notices Jiang Kui's deep dark circles. She can almost imagine through these dark circles the scene of Jiang Kui studying English all night with great effort.
Then.
Zhao Ying Ge, Xia Fan and others also read in turn.
Most are quite fluent.
Especially Sun Yaohuo and Chen Zhiyu, they not only read the text fluently but their pronunciations are very pure. If you didn't know any better, you'd think they were from Han Continent...
Wei Haoyun is completely stunned.
She looks disorientedly at everyone who has the same dark circles under their eyes.
Didn't you guys say that English is hard to learn?
Didn't you guys say you had given up on learning?
Didn't you say you're not planning to sing any English songs?
She suddenly remembers the words her agent reminded her of a few days ago. At that time, she laughed that her agent was overly suspicious, but at this moment, her scalp went numb...
Is this the Yu Dynasty?
This group of people is scary!
Meanwhile, Sun Yaohuo and others exchange glances. They're not surprised, and even have a bit of ridicule in their eyes, as if they had expected this situation long ago.
Wei Haoyun is beginning to question her life.
