Chapter 68
As the stage slowly rose, the concert officially began. The spotlight shone on Jin Lin, and the large screen behind him reflected his high-definition face. The entire stadium was filled with deafening screams.
Jiang Nuo was the closest and had the most direct feelings. He felt that Jin Lin on the stage was completely different from the somewhat mercenary and even flattering Jin Lin at the wine table.
On the stage, this man radiates with his own brilliance. His confidence and elegance seem to be innate. Every word he sings and every movement he makes is shining like a star, driving the audience crazy.
Mr. Jiang couldn't help but sigh, "He's doing a great job. With this drive, he could sing until he's fifty. Fans who truly love him won't mind. Why does he have to get involved in the capital market? Industrial companies need money, but not this kind of quick buck."
Jiang Xiaomi, who was sitting next to him, rolled her eyes and whispered into her brother's ear, "Brother, could you please not act like an occupational hazard at a time like this? You're such a bummer!"
"..." Mr. Jiang was suddenly disliked by the young man, but he heard Gu Jiangkuo on the other side say loudly: "You're right! He should do his job!"
——There’s no way to not sing loudly, the speakers and the fans’ chorus are too loud, everyone has to sing at the top of their lungs.
Jiang Nuo also leaned over and shouted, "Don't you think I'm spoiling the fun by bringing this up?"
"How could that be?" Gu Jiangkuo said, "This is a topic for adults!"
Hearing this far-fetched explanation, Jiang Nuo felt inexplicably happy and laughed out loud.
Mr. Jiang finally stopped talking about business matters in such occasions and focused on enjoying the concert. Jin Lin not only had excellent stage performance, which was both exciting and pleasing to the eye, but also invited many big names as guests. The lineup was as luxurious as the large-scale evening parties officially held by Yanlin Satellite TV.
It's really exciting to watch.
The guests left for a break, and it was Jin Lin's turn to sing solo. This was an old song that was familiar to audiences across the country, and the whole audience sang along. For some reason, the camera didn't continue to shoot Jin Lin's face, but slowly swept across the audience. During the chorus and interlude, Jin Lin said into the microphone: "Everyone sing along, let me hear your voices and see your faces, okay?"
The sound of fans singing along was immediately amplified, and young and enthusiastic faces flashed across the big screen, and then suddenly a burst of screams broke out!
It turned out that the high-definition camera captured Jiang Nuo and Gu Jiangkuo...holding hands.
Jiang Nuo: “!” Just now, Gu Jiangkuo covered his hands, and both of them forgot to let go!
I don't know if the camera did it on purpose, but after hearing the fans' screams, it didn't move away. Instead, it continued to zoom in, giving a close-up of the two people's hands.
Jiang Nuo: “………………”
Mr. Jiang was embarrassed and quickly pulled his hand back, but the photographer was naughty enough and immediately pointed the camera at Jiang Nuo's face. The three large screens all showed the high-definition face of Mr. Jiang who looked a little helpless.
The whole audience was boiling again, even the singing voices became quieter, replaced by a buzzing discussion and meaningless screams.
"Ahhhh so handsome!"
"The handsome boy is shy, hahahaha!"
"He's so cute when he's confused!"
“Is this considered forced coming out?”
“Ahhhhhhhhh!!!”
Fortunately, the photographer still remembered that this was Jin Lin's concert. The camera didn't stay on Jin Lin for long before returning to Jin Lin. However, this little episode did not pass, because the next thing was the interactive session that had been arranged early. The music was still going on. Jin Lin took the microphone, jumped off the stage, and randomly found a fan to sing solo.
The VIPs in the front rows naturally bore the brunt of the attention. Wherever the big star walked, everyone raised their hands in the air in a frenzy. Meanwhile, Jin Lin's in-ear monitor rang with the director's reminder: "Brother Lin, go find that handsome guy you just held hands with and sing! The response was great just now, the fans will definitely love it, it's going to be a hit!"
Jin Lin knew it very well, but he didn't dare to do it. That handsome boy was not an ordinary person, he was the boss of a big group!
He was just photographed holding hands with someone, and I don’t know what others think. If I rashly give him the camera again, will Mr. Jiang be angry?
However, the director kept urging, "Go ahead, Brother Lin! Hurry up! We can still cut it out as a trailer and use it as promotional material!"
Jin Lin gritted his teeth and signaled the cameraman not to focus on him. During the interlude, he ran to Jiang Nuo and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Jiang, do you want to sing a song with us?"
Jiang Nuo understood almost immediately that this was a question asking if he could take another shot. He naturally didn't want to, and even felt a little bothered by the unexpected shot just now, but...
In her panic, she pulled her hand away so quickly that Gu Jiangkuo hadn't looked at her since then. It was understandable, as if she disliked him and didn't want him to be seen in public.
But they clearly haven't done anything yet.
Regardless, Young Master Jiang still felt a little guilty, so he said, "Okay."
Gu Jiangkuo suddenly turned his head and looked at Jiang Nuo with burning eyes.
Jiang Nuo stiffened his neck and didn't dare to look at him.
Jin Lin said happily: "That's great!"
Then, the camera cut back and Jin Lin sang the first half of the sentence, then handed the microphone to Jiang Nuo's mouth, and the scene of Mr. Jiang's face being filmed appeared on the big screen again.
“…” Mr. Jiang was forced to do something and had no choice but to sing.
He knew that he couldn't sing all five notes, and in fact he seldom sang. Fortunately, this song was so popular among the people that he could follow the tune with his eyes closed. Jiang Nuo followed stiffly, saying that he should not have gone off the tune - in fact, it was hard to hear whether he was off the tune or not, because the whole audience was screaming, and it seemed that they were screaming even louder than when Jin Lin sang himself.
After singing one line, Young Master Jiang was so embarrassed that he didn't want to sing anymore. But Jin Lin saw that the performance was so good that he couldn't bear to let go and insisted on taking the microphone away. After about one or two seconds of procrastination, suddenly a big hand grabbed the microphone and a deep and pleasant male voice resounded throughout the audience.
It turned out to be Gu Jiangkuo.
Gu Jiangkuo's singing was unexpectedly nice, with a strong sense of music, and every word fitted in perfectly with the melody, but it felt completely different from Jin Lin's original singing. He had a strong breath and was very powerful. He sang a gentle and soft love song with sonorous passion, turning the sadness of parting into the hope of waiting for reunion.
This is how the famous scene of the concert was sung.
President Jiang and bodyguard Gu don't know yet that their chorus will become a hit on video websites in the near future and will be quoted and played repeatedly.
However, Ding Pingzhou, who was two seats away, felt more and more complicated.
Now he was just witnessing over and over again how good Jiang Nuo was and how many people liked him, which made him more and more uncomfortable. Looking at the beautiful and handsome face on the big screen, the audience screamed as soon as it appeared. Ding Pingzhou suddenly couldn't understand himself. In his previous life, how could he get tired of looking at such a face?
Not only that, Rong Yi beside him was also looking straight at the big screen. The scattered stage light reflected his burning gaze and sparkling eyes, which highlighted the emotions that Ding Pingzhou did not want to see.
Ding Pingzhou felt a surge of jealousy in his heart.
Suddenly I felt that the desire for Rong Yi that I had accumulated for two lifetimes had changed.
For the rest of the concert, Ding Pingzhou didn't try to strike up a conversation with Rong Yi. He waited until the end, then stood up and heard Jiang Xiaomi chattering excitedly to Rong Yi: "I recorded a lot of short videos! I also posted them on WeChat Moments. Remember to like them for me!"
Rong Yi was still cool: "Are you flooding your Moments with posts? I can only like one."
"?" Jiang Xiaomi was struck by lightning. "Are you still human? Do you understand how to return a favor? I invited you to the concert, and you can't even give me a like to show your support?"
"Brother Jiang got the tickets," Rong Yi urged. "Hurry up, your brother has already left."
It turned out that Mr. Jiang had already left the venue with the crowd, escorted by Gu Jiangkuo, and he didn't seem to notice that his younger brother hadn't caught up yet. However, there were too many people, and in the blink of an eye, Jiang Nuo was submerged in the crowd.
Jiang Xiaomi gave up chasing immediately: "...There are so many people, let's go straight to the parking lot."
□□Yi still wanted to chase after him. He pulled Jiang Su's arm with one hand and squeezed forward, but was suddenly stopped by someone.
It's really hard to describe the aura. I don't know what happened, but the smell of gunpowder suddenly spread between the two of them. Jiang Xiaomi was so scared that she didn't dare to speak, as if she couldn't hear the noise in the whole place. In front of Rong Yi, there was only Ding Pingzhou, and in front of Ding Pingzhou, there was only Rong Yi.
It was clearly the first time they met in their lives, but they were like enemies.
Rong Yi spoke first: "Uncle, what's wrong with you?"
Ding Pingzhou didn't care about his dignity and asked directly and aggressively, "Do you like Jiang Nuo?"
Rong Yi: “……?”
However, Rong Yi reacted quickly, curling his lips into a smile, "So that's how it is..." Then he looked directly into Ding Pingzhou's eyes and said loudly, "Yes, I like him."
"Poof!" Jiang Xiaomi's milk tea sprayed out.
After receiving this answer, Ding Pingzhou suddenly felt like a joke, wavering between the two of them for two lifetimes. He was furious: "How dare you!"
"What am I afraid of?" Rong Yi sneered. "May I ask who you are and why you care about his business? I've suspected you for a long time. You have no friends, you came to the concert alone, you were distracted the whole time, you didn't like Jin Lin's songs at all, and you bought VIP front row tickets, and you kept looking over at Brother Jiang... You came here just for him, right?"
Ding Pingzhou was hit in the heart and didn't say anything, but his face looked extremely ugly.
Jiang Xiaomi was terribly nervous, clutching a half-full cup of milk tea, lost in thought: What should I do? They both know each other, and if they start fighting, who should I help? Oh, my brother is really a beauty who brings disaster. That's not right, beauty who brings disaster is a derogatory term, it can't be used to describe my brother...
Rong Yi stepped forward and sarcastically asked Ding Pingzhou, "If you came here for him, why are you staring at me like that?"
“That’s disgusting.”
“…”
"What are you standing there for? Let's go." Rong Yi patted Jiang Xiaomi's shoulder. Jiang Xiaomi glanced at Ding Pingzhou, who stood there stiffly, and followed him suspiciously, "Rong Yi, what did you say to him? I thought you were going to fight!"
"Nothing, just the truth." Rong Yi said coolly.
Jiang Xiaomi scratched his head, trotted to catch up, and asked again: "Do you really like my brother?"
Rong Yi didn't say anything.
Jiang Xiaomi was shocked: "You're not! You really want to pursue my brother. You saw them holding hands. If you snatch someone from Brother Gu, can you take a beating?"
Rong Yi rolled his eyes in intolerance: "I was deliberately trying to piss that old man off, can't you see?"
"Oh," Jiang Xiaomi breathed a sigh of relief, "You scared me. I thought you really liked men."
Rong Yi paused, "What's wrong with liking men? Are you discriminating?"
"No, no!" Jiang Su whispered, "I treat you as a friend. I'm afraid you'll be beaten to death by Brother Gu."
“…”
The two walked in silence for a while, but Rong Yi suddenly said, "Actually, I can't really say. Your brother is so outstanding. I was indeed a little attracted to him the first time I saw him. However, I looked up a lot of news about him online."
Rong Yi said seriously, "He's resourceful and capable. He's a young entrepreneur, but he also has principles. He never cheats ordinary people out of their money, unlike those profit-driven businessmen. Did you know that he regularly donates to out-of-school girls in the mountains?"
Jiang Xiaomi never expected that the topic would go from romantic gossip to such a high level, and she shook her head in surprise.
"You have a good brother," Rong Yi said. "I envy you. With a brother like him protecting you, you can remain so carefree and innocent."
What does it mean to remain innocent?
Jiang Xiaomi felt that Rong Yi was implying that he was stupid, but he had no evidence.
Rong Yi talked a lot today: "I have been thinking these days that I also want to be that kind of person." How many times has he almost succumbed to the voice in his head, that voice that advised him to give up trying, how tiring it is to study, how tiring it is to support a family, how tiring it is to be a social animal in the future, how nice it would be to find a rich man to marry, lie down and not think about anything, be spoiled by others, and live a life of lying down and winning!
There were so many times when Rong Yi almost gave in.
But as he became interested in Jiang Nuo and got to know her better, the string in Rong Yi's heart that was about to break became strong again. "I also want to be like him, to work hard with my own hands to achieve happiness, and use my wealth to help others."
"Come on, get to the parking lot and don't keep your brother waiting."
.
□□Yi and Jiang Su arrived at the parking lot, but did not see Jiang Nuo.
It turned out that because those two shots were so explosive, Young Master Jiang was blocked by sharp-eyed reporters as soon as he walked out of the gymnasium.
Mr. Jiang had been interviewed by financial magazines and local radio stations, but that was because he was an entrepreneur and an outstanding young man. The interviews were high-end and classy, and the content was formal and serious. This was his first time meeting an entertainment reporter.
Several microphones were almost thrust into his face, and he opened his mouth to ask, "Handsome guy! Excuse me, are you gay?"
...Boss Jiang was so scared that he was stunned.
Of course, he was unwilling to cooperate with this kind of interview. Jiang Nuo just gave his bodyguard a look, and Gu Jiangkuo immediately understood, pulled him up, and ran away.
This time it was the entertainment reporters who were confused.
However, Gu Jiangkuo was tall and had long legs, so he ran very fast, and Jiang Nuo could barely keep up. The reporter, carrying various equipment and heavy loads, naturally could not catch up, and could only watch the two of them run to the steps of the side door of the gymnasium in three or two steps.
The reporters were alerted: The side door wasn't open! It was a dead end! There were railings on both sides, more than a meter off the ground.
However, just as I was chasing after him with the camera, I saw the tall young man jump over the railing with one hand in a neat and agile manner, then stretched out his arms and made a hugging gesture.
The handsome young man who made the whole audience scream hesitated for only a second, then leaned over and cooperated, and was easily carried down by Gao Daqing. There was a small path behind them, and the two of them quickly disappeared in the darkness.
