355: Go to a concert

The two men and three women chatted in Li Yanran's Office until evening. Yang Xiaohu smiled and said, "The two of you, President Li, I have long wanted to invite Brother Lin to dinner to express my gratitude for the help and care Brother Lin showed me back in Yushu City."

"I didn't expect to run into Brother Lin here today. Give me a chance to treat Brother Lin and everyone else to dinner!"

"Sister Xiaohu, we just came from the club this afternoon. Xiao Liang has already prepared tickets for Deng Ruyan's concert tonight."

"Zifeng will be staying in the capital for some time, so you should find another opportunity later!"

"I have already asked the company's logistics department to prepare dinner for us. We will have dinner at the company and go to the concert together in the evening!"

Li Yanran was one year younger than Yang Xiaohu, and since they were very good friends, the two women addressed each other as sisters in private.

"Since President Li has already made arrangements in advance, I will follow your plan!"

"However, after the concert, we can go have some fun. I'll have someone prepare everything in advance; how about we go to my place for a barbecue?" Yang Xiaohu suggested again.

"Sure! I know Sister Xiaohu bought a detached villa with a courtyard outside the Fifth Ring Road, but I've never been there! Since tomorrow is Sunday, we can drink to our heart's content tonight." The playful Li Dongliang was the first to agree.

"With your low alcohol tolerance, you can't even outdrink Sister Xiaohu, yet you're thinking about drinking to your heart's content! When have you ever not been the first one to get drunk at a gathering?"

"Last night, halfway through drinking, didn't you desert the battlefield as usual?" Li Yanran exposed her brother's shortcomings at any given moment, making everyone laugh.

Li Dongliang said with an embarrassed look, "Sister, people often say don't hit someone in the face and don't expose their shortcomings when scolding them, but you, you specialize in exposing my shortcomings."

"People have different alcohol tolerances, but one's character while drinking is what truly shows their worth."

"So what if I have a low tolerance? When I'm drunk, I'm well-behaved; I don't cause trouble or do anything out of line. I'm not a bad drinker or a drunkard."

"Xiao Liang is right. I support him on this point. No matter how high your tolerance is, if your character while drinking is bad, it's all for nothing." Lin Zifeng nodded in agreement.

Hearing what Lin Zifeng said, Li Dongliang gave Lin Zifeng a grateful look before turning to look at his sister triumphantly.

Li Yanran ignored her brother's look and asked Lin Zifeng, "Zifeng, what do you think of Sister Xiaohu's proposal?"

"Wouldn't that be inappropriate? Might it be inconvenient?"

Before Lin Zifeng could finish, Yang Xiaohu hurriedly said, "It's not inappropriate at all, and it certainly won't be inconvenient."

"My parents don't live with me. I live there alone, and there are only two Nannies at home."

"I have enough rooms there, and Xiao Di often stays with me. Since we are all young people hanging out together, it won't disturb anyone else."

Xiao Di nodded with a smile in agreement.

Hearing that Yang Xiaohu had already said this much, and since Li Yanran and her brother also wanted to go, Lin Zifeng had no choice but to nod and agree.

Seeing that Lin Zifeng had agreed, Yang Xiaohu picked up her phone and called someone to make preparations in advance.

Just then, a female staff member knocked on the door and entered, "President Li, dinner is ready. You can take your guests to eat."

Li Yanran nodded, and they all stood up one after another and walked outside.

At seven o'clock that evening, the group of five took two cars and arrived near the concert venue.

Near the brightly lit venue, large numbers of audience members were walking toward the main entrance in groups of three or five.

Many young and beautiful girls wore glowing rabbit ears on their heads and held glow sticks in their hands. There were also many young people holding light boards with Deng Ruyan's name on them, forming a beautiful scene on the street.

Looking through the car window, Lin Zifeng could feel the breath of youth rushing toward him.

Lin Zifeng was also infected by the atmosphere and felt full of anticipation for the upcoming concert.

"Zifeng, have you never been to an occasion like this before? It's very necessary to relax properly and experience a different atmosphere," said Li Yanran, who was sitting next to Lin Zifeng, with a smile.

"I have indeed never experienced such an atmosphere. Compared to the people outside, I feel like my mindset is old," Lin Zifeng said with emotion.

"That's because you have worked in government departments for a long time, and your maturity and steadiness far exceed those of your peers, which is why you have this mindset."

"The capital is far from Huanan Province, and apart from us, no one knows you. You can have a blast tonight."

"My sister is right, Brother Lin. The atmosphere of the concert will definitely make you feel the same; you can sing to your heart's content and cheer as much as you want," Li Dongliang said while driving the car into the parking lot.

Lin Zifeng gave a hum of acknowledgment, nodded with a smile, and didn't say anything.

The two cars drove into the parking lot one after another. After the three of them got out of the car, they saw Yang Xiaohu and Xiao Di, who were bundled up tightly, walking toward them.

If they didn't know who they were, they wouldn't have been able to recognize them at all; they could only tell that they were women with enchanting and sexy figures.

The five of them gathered together, and Li Yanran smiled and said, "This is the helplessness of being a celebrity! You can't even show your true face at such a large gathering."

"Otherwise, if you are discovered by fans, it might cause a commotion."

"This is where we are helpless; we can't be as free and easy as you."

"With President Li's appearance, if you wanted to be an entertainer, you would definitely be at the pinnacle the moment you debuted."

Yang Xiaohu's subtext was that Li Yanran had the ability but disdained to debut as a celebrity.

While complimenting Li Yanran, her way of speaking was very artistic.

Li Yanran was happy and said with a smile, "It's just that our pursuits are different. I'm not used to appearing under the spotlight."

"It's almost time, the concert is about to start. Let's go in!"

Everyone nodded and walked toward the entrance together.

After checking their tickets, they entered the venue, walked all the way to the VAP area close to the stage, and sat down in five adjacent seats.

At this time, the venue, which could accommodate tens of thousands of people, was already packed. The sound of talking mixed with laughter echoed all around. Lin Zifeng turned his head to look around; it was his first time being gathered with so many people, and he felt very curious.

Ten minutes later, all the lights in the venue suddenly went out, the venue plunged into darkness, and it fell silent.

Suddenly, brilliant lights lit up on the stage, and explosive music followed.

Immediately, the venue was filled with thunderous cheers, as if the clouds in the night sky had been scattered by the sky-shattering cheers.

Beautiful singing followed, and a heroic and spirited woman rose slowly from the center of the stage and began to sing and dance on stage.

Many audience members sang along loudly, and their bodies began to sway along.

Immersed in it, Lin Zifeng felt the atmosphere of the scene and couldn't help but hum along softly.
