Chapter 250: The Concert (Part 7)

Although Zhang Jian was a second-generation rich kid, the most money he had ever spent at one time in his life was a little over two million to buy a used Porsche—it wasn't even as much as what Cui Jinghui had spent.

He couldn't even afford to request one song from Superstar Zhang Ziyou, let alone ten!

Lu Shanshan was truly astonished.

Is this the competitive nature of men?

Zhang Jian had requested one song for her, but Zheng Qian had requested ten for Song Yaxian!

And it was the Superstar himself!

You have to understand, a minor singer from an agency is not even in the same weight class as a Superstar!

A minor singer might charge tens of thousands per song.

A song from a Superstar would cost at least several million!

Auctioneer Wang Xiaoqi was secretly surprised in the audience.

She suspected she had misheard the name.

"Mr. Zheng?"

Could it be that Zheng Qian who was so good at putting on airs at the auction?

Spending money with such extravagance.

Auctioneer Wang Xiaoqi couldn't help but think of Zheng Qian.

Until the Superstar sang the final song...

"Mr. Zheng, Miss Song, would you be interested in coming up on stage to sing a song with me?"

"On... on stage?"

When Song Yaxian heard that she had been invited by the Superstar himself, she was stunned, and for a moment, her mind went completely blank!

Superstar Zhang Ziyou was her idol, and to sing on stage with her idol—what an honor that would be!

Zheng Qian waved his hand, indicating that he was tone-deaf and would refrain from going on stage.

"Very well, then I invite Miss Song to come up on stage."

Song Yaxian stood there dumbfounded, staring blankly at Zheng Qian.

The surrounding audience all cast envious glances; to be able to sing on stage with a Superstar...

Song Yaxian's man was either powerful or had astonishing financial resources.

Even Song Yaxian herself had never imagined in her life that she would be able to sing on stage with her idol.

"What are you still standing there for? Go on up!" Zheng Qian said with a smile.

"I... I... I..." Song Yaxian was so nervous she couldn't speak coherently.

She had no mental preparation at all; she never expected Zheng Qian to give her such a huge surprise.

The spotlights of the entire venue were now focused entirely on Song Yaxian, and it had already been over a minute!

Compared to the 3 seconds Lu Shanshan had just had, the sense of honor and vanity brought by this was leagues ahead!

In the end, Song Yaxian accepted the Superstar's invitation, went up on stage, and sang a classic old song as a duet.

Song Yaxian was a loyal fan of the Superstar and knew how to sing many of his old songs. Although she hadn't received systematic training, her singing was still standard, and combined with her unique voice and vocal timbre, it was actually no worse than those celebrity idols.

The audience below also listened with great interest.

When they had been singing for over a minute, everyone was surprised to discover that the female artist who had just been praised by countless people brought a dance troupe and came to dance beside the Superstar and Song Yaxian!

At this moment, Song Yaxian was the brightest star of them all!

It was him! Zheng Qian!

Auctioneer Wang Xiaoqi vaguely remembered that at the auction on the platinum princess, when Zheng Qian came up to sign the legal documents, the name he signed was Song Yaxian.

The woman currently singing with the Superstar on stage was the one Zheng Qian had brought!

In other words, the song requests and the duet were all paid for by Zheng Qian!

At this moment, Auctioneer Wang Xiaoqi recalled the comment Zheng Qian had made teasing her on stage this afternoon, and she couldn't help but secretly compare herself to Song Yaxian on stage.

She stared closely at the shy Song Yaxian on stage, observing her every move and her figure.

Today, Song Yaxian was wearing a khaki-colored hip-hugging skirt, and her figure was tightly wrapped.

Auctioneer Wang Xiaoqi's size was slightly larger than Song Yaxian's.

It was just that Song Yaxian was a tiny bit taller than her, so her proportions looked better.

But if anyone said that Song Yaxian's figure was better than hers... Auctioneer Wang Xiaoqi would disagree ten thousand percent!

Especially the perkiness!!

Auctioneer Wang Xiaoqi glared fiercely at Zheng Qian from the audience.

If she didn't count as perky, then what did "perky" look like in Zheng Qian's eyes?

Could it be like Song Yaxian's?

Auctioneer Wang Xiaoqi felt that Zheng Qian had inflicted a great insult upon her.

At the same time, there was a little bit of jealousy in Auctioneer Wang Xiaoqi's heart.

She could work at the auction house for a lifetime and probably wouldn't earn enough money to buy that cruise ship; she probably wouldn't even have enough for an anchor.

But what about Song Yaxian on stage?

Auctioneer Wang Xiaoqi didn't know her status, occupation, education level, or family background.

But she was certain it couldn't be much higher than hers.

Auctioneer Wang Xiaoqi wasn't exactly a gold digger; with her monthly base salary of fifty thousand, plus commissions from the auction house, she was well able to support herself and live an exquisite, middle-class life.

It was just... everyone was a woman, so why did Song Yaxian get the affection of a top-tier rich young master like Zheng Qian, while she didn't?

Auctioneer Wang Xiaoqi shed tears silently in her heart.

Boo hoo hoo... She also wanted to be doted on by such a gentle and domineering man!

But Zheng Qian didn't even look at her! He even said she wasn't perky enough! It was simply too detestable!

In a nearby box suite.

This was a position second only to the front-row seats.

Wealthy people who liked excitement and wanted to get up close to their idols would mostly choose front-row seats like Zheng Qian.

But socialites who preferred quiet and weren't particularly obsessed with Superstar Zhang would basically choose to sit in a box, which was really just for checking in.

Jiang Yanran was such a person.

She didn't have much interest in Superstar Zhang Ziyou; she just happened to be free in the evening, so she came over to sit for a while.

She had even rejected the opportunity to sing on stage with Superstar Zhang Ziyou, which countless fans dreamed of, just to sit quietly for a while.

Never had she expected—never—that even if she escaped here today, she would still run into Zheng Qian showing off.

The Jiangnan Grand Venue was built with funding from Jiang Yanran's father back in the day.

Generally, when holding large-scale commercial events, the Jiangnan region preferred the Jiang family's venue.

It was just that this venue was very difficult to book, so Jiang Yanran had given Superstar Zhang some face by letting other events make way for the Superstar's concert.

The agency was also very sensible; when the Superstar performed, they mentioned her name on stage, giving her plenty of face.

Although it was a small matter, it could be seen that the agency's attitude toward Jiang Yanran was one of immense respect.

After all, the agency's power was mainly entrenched in Hong Kong; how could they dare to offend a local snake of Jiangnan?

Jiang Yanran had never been so speechless.

It was the first time she had been overshadowed by a man like this.

Since the end of the auction, Jiang Yanran had wanted to contact Zheng Qian, but he had disappeared in the blink of an eye.

He didn't answer calls and didn't reply to messages.

Yet now he appeared at Superstar Zhang Ziyou's concert, spending such a large fortune just to woo a girl!

How could this kid love showing off everywhere he went?

Didn't he know anything about keeping a low profile?

Jiang Yanran was clearly angered by Zheng Qian.

Ignoring her to flirt with girls at a concert?

She wanted to talk business with Zheng Qian; in Zheng Qian's heart, was business not as important as women?

This didn't seem like something a man who had achieved success at a young age would do; career should always come first!

What did he mean by putting women before his career?

Looking down on her?

The more Jiang Yanran thought about it, the angrier she became, and her expression gradually turned very ugly.

Acting so high-profile, he would sooner or later be targeted for kidnapping!
