“What are you saying? You invited Fan to appear at your concert? Are you crazy?”

“He accepted? Is he crazy too?”

“Big sister Bai, are you trying to ruin your singing career and become an actress?”

Meng Cai Wei, who had entered the crew a bit earlier than planned noticed Bai Zhi’s message and immediately called her. Her voice was so excited that it scared the assistant who was bringing her breakfast.

“Why are you talking so loud?”

Bai Zhi who was still half asleep yawned and said, “Fan’s good at singing, and I happen to be missing a person. What’s wrong with asking him?! Besides, this concert is about playing with music and doesn’t specify they have to be professional singers. It makes me happy, and can fulfill my contract with Tiger Cat streams.”

“Fan’s singing sounds good?” Meng Cai Wei said incredulously. “What happened to your ears? His throat sounds like a broken bell, how can he sing well? Let me tell you, there is no music cell in our family!”

“That’s you, don’t drag Fan into this, Fan’s musical talent is almost too good!” Bai Zhi yawned again and continued, “I’m just gonna borrow your brother for a bit, don’t be so worked up. Are you worried Fan is going to enter the entertainment industry? It’s just one concert, and a small scale one too. It’ll be the same as when he streams. Anyways, I’m going back to bed for a bit, I still have rehearsal later today!”

At this, she hung up the receiver and went back to sleep.

“What’s going on?”

Meng Cai Wei was a little stunned. Immediately, she called Meng Fan.

Meng Fan just finished running, showered and was getting ready to eat breakfast. Seeing Meng Cai Wei was calling, he answered the phone. Hearing that it was related to Bai Zhi’s concert, he knew that Meng Cai Wei was going to call him sooner or later regarding it and had long already made up his explanation. “I thought it sounded fun so I accepted.”

“What do you mean fun? Bai Zhi said you’re good at singing, what’s up with that? When were you good at singing?” Meng Cai Wei asked.

“What, just because I can’t sing doesn’t mean I can’t practice until it sounds good!”

Yes. This was Meng Fan’s explanation after thoughtful consideration.

Meng Cai Wei didn’t believe him for a second.

“Meng Fan, I noticed you’ve been really strange recently! Just wait, when I have time, I’m going to thoroughly interrogate you!”

Meng Cai Wei angrily hung up the receiver.

“This temper, I haven’t even told her about the studio.”

Meng Fan smiled bitterly and headed to class after finishing his breakfast.

He had arranged to eat lunch with Wu Tong. She had washed and cleaned his thermos and brought it back for him, with an extra apple inside it. According to her, it couldn’t be returned empty.

As they ate, Meng Fan told her about Bai Zhi inviting him to her concert and asked Wu Tong if she wanted to attend his afternoon rehearsal.

“I have class in the afternoon. When’s the concert? I’ll go… cheer you on crazily.”

Wu Tong already knew of Bai Zhi and Meng Cai Wei’s relationship, and she’d met Bai Zhi too. Although she didn’t watch Meng Fan’s stream yesterday, she had recorded the VOD and watched it later, so she knew Meng Fan could sing. After discovering this, she was a bit surprised but did not doubt his abilities.

Curiously, she asked, “Are you trying to break into the entertainment industry?”

Meng Fan shook his head. “I just think it’s fun, I didn’t think about it that much.”

Wu Tong smiled. “It’s said that everyone’s life is a game. Some people are in easy mode, others are in hard mode, and some are in random mode. You’re in custom mode.”

A thought suddenly flashed through his head as he gazed at Wu Tong, saying genuinely, “It depends on what it is. Regarding some things, I can choose to get by in easy mode but somehow ended up doing it in hard. Because only in difficult mode can you unlock the hidden plot.”

Wu Tong paused for a moment, then laughed. “Are you flirting with me?”

Meng Fan was defeated.

Wu Tong pretended to inadvertently move her loose hair behind her ears, and as her fingers brushed passed, she felt her ears heating up.

Bai Zhi’s concert wasn’t at the Huanglong gymnasium, but at the Hangzhou Concert Hall. It was a bit far from Huaxia art academy, so when Meng Fan headed over after eating, it was already 1:00 pm.

At the time, Bai Zhi was already there in addition to some others as well. Aside from the band and the staff, and a singer that looked familiar but Meng Fan couldn’t name until Bai Zhi introduced her, Meng Fan had searched up everyone else on his live stream aid and roughly checked them out.

This female singer’s name was Tao Tao, a relatively easy to remember name. Meng Fan still couldn’t remember her, probably because she wasn’t very famous. However, he did remember listening to some of her songs.

Meng Fan noticed this Tao Tao was an independent musician. She wrote her own songs and composed her own music. As for her singing… When Meng Fan arrived, she’d been rehearsing. Listening to a few verses, he decided her vocal skills were good. She was relatively good looking too and seemed to be the artistic indie type. She probably wasn’t famous then because her music style catered to a relatively small audience.

Meng Fan was indeed an outsider to the industry. In this business, there were way too many people who were attractive and can sing well, yet very few that actually blew up.

Gold will always find a way to shine?

Yeah right.

More like gold will always find a way to be spent.

Of course, the fame he was referring to was a high degree of national fame. In reality, Tao Tao was quite famous within a certain range. No matter what, even Meng Fan has heard several of her songs.

Bai Zhi then took meng Fan to meet the live band responsible for accompaniment. They were all very experienced, and although there weren’t any big name members in the band, they were still very well known among the music circle.

Of course, the group was very polite towards Meng Fan. Before his arrival, Bai Zhi had told them of the guest coming to the concert today. He wasn’t a celebrity, but her cousin who was a streamer.

Bai Zhi wouldn’t allow Meng Fan to come across any awkward situations. She had to tell everyone on site about her good relationship with Meng Fan.

Meng Fan was going to sing two songs at the concert. One was “The rest of our life” that had been recommended by Bai Zhi. This song was famous, and easily resonates with the audience, so people will react regardless; the other song was Bai Zhi’s song, “Long Term Plan”, which they would sing together.

Meng Fan’s focus during the rehearsal was on this duet. As for “The Rest of our life”, he just had to polish it with the band.

At the moment, it was Tao Tao’s turn to rehearse. Meng Fan had nothing to do at the moment, so he took out his phone and entered his stream after asking Bai Zhi for permission.

Long before he arrived, Meng Fan had announced in his stream header that there would be a surprise in this afternoon’s stream.

Seeing the reminder of Meng Fan’s stream, several fickle netizens who followed his live broadcast entered the channel. After entering, they saw Meng Fan standing in a big concert hall. The sound of a band playing on stage and a singer could be heard.

“What’s going on?”

“What’s he playing today, is he taking us to watch a performance?”

Then the fickle netizens saw a beautiful woman appear in the stream.

“What?”

The netizens recognized her immediately, and it was Bai Zhi!

Bai Zhi was a nationally famous female celebrity!

“What’s going on?”

“Hello everyone.”

Bai Zhi waved at the camera and smiled. “In four days, I have a concert in Hangzhou. Your Meng host will be my guest. When the time comes, the concert will be streamed on the Tiger Cat platform, so please come watch us and give us your support.”

She had actually used Meng Fan’s stream channel to promote herself.

Of course, it hadn’t just been for self-promotion; it was mostly to help Meng Fan.
