Today is a very special day.

Fusheng, a figure of widespread online discussion, will be holding his concert tonight!

On this day, the staff in Tianrui Entertainment's server room were closely monitoring the real-time graph of "Xiazhou Voice".

Whether it's downloads, active users, new registered users, or any other data point, there has been a remarkably significant increase!

wrong!

It should be said that every single data point is setting a new historical record!

On social media platforms such as Weibo and Twitter, the topic of "life is fleeting" has never stopped. Every trending topic is dominated by the word "life is fleeting"!

This situation is not unique to Xia State; in all but the remaining fifteen states, except for Li State and Sang State, the scene on social media is exactly the same.

Even the financial and news sections were affected.

"You actually managed to get tickets?"

Zhang Chengzhang looked at the ticket Zhao Wenyao handed him with a strange expression.

"I was just complaining to Sun Min about how you tricked me into this, I guess I'm destined to watch the live stream."

"I didn't expect you to actually have special channels?"

"But is this ticket legitimate? I don't want to be mistaken for a ticket scalper and kicked out; that would be a huge embarrassment."

Sun Min looked at the ticket in her hand and smiled: "This kind of ticket should be for using the special lane, right?"

"Listen to that! Sun Min is really knowledgeable."

Zhao Wenyao glanced at Zhang Chengzhang with annoyance.

"Who organizes a concert without leaving themselves an escape route? You don't really think that Li Donglai, Bao Chongxin, Rong Zhengyi, Ding Chang'an, and other tycoons have all come here for a vacation?"

"Even though you've faded out of the industry for many years, you haven't forgotten all the ins and outs of it, have you?"

Zhao Wenyao's tirade left Zhang Chengzhang somewhat resentful: "The main problem is that Fusheng doesn't play by the rules. This is the first time I've ever heard of so many restrictions on buying a ticket. When other people hold concerts, they're afraid that the tickets won't sell, but he seems to be afraid that people will buy too many."

"That's you..."

The words were on the tip of Zhao Wenyao's tongue, but he couldn't bring himself to say them.

Just like my old friend said, when others hold concerts, they hope that as many people as possible will buy tickets. For the sake of popularity, they are even willing to personally go out and lose money to gain publicity.

But Fusheng is even worse. They tolerated the ticket restrictions, but they also restricted the regions to a great extent. What's worse, they even ruined the business of local scalpers.

The ticket holder must be the same person as the ticket purchaser; otherwise, the ticket will be invalidated on the spot. This ridiculous practice is simply outrageous!

What's even more infuriating is that, under such stringent conditions, all 30,000 tickets sold out in less than a second during the pre-sale!

Even Zhao Wenyao, who was about to become a celebrity, began to question his life after witnessing this incredible scene.

"You're going to Lizhou after the New Year?"

Sun Min suddenly interrupted, and Zhang Chengzhang also looked at Zhao Wenyao.

"Yes, I estimate that after staying in Lizhou for a while, the influence value will reach the critical point."

Zhao Wenyao nodded: "You really don't plan to come with me?"

Sun Min and Zhang Chengzhang remained silent, and Zhao Wenyao did not delve further into the topic.

In contrast to the quietness of this place, outside the East Zone stadium, there was already a great commotion of drums and gongs, and crowds of people.

Many vendors secured their spots days in advance, often with their entire families.

This also prevents others from taking over your territory when you're eating, drinking, relieving yourself, or sleeping.

Of course, relying on this business acumen, the vendors' businesses were extremely booming, with almost every stall making a fortune.

As night fell, loud shouts could be heard from time to time, all of them chanting the words "life is fleeting".

"Is everything ready?"

"Don't worry, Director Zhang, everything is ready."

Zhang Qingsheng has been extremely busy these past few days.

It was also thanks to Li Donglai's deployment of several top-notch teams to assist him that Zhang Qingsheng could not even close his eyes in peace.

Feeling the electrifying atmosphere in the stadium, Zhang Qingsheng exclaimed with emotion, "This is just the beginning..."

It's unclear whether he was marveling at the bustling atmosphere of the 30,000-seat stadium or reflecting on the peak of his life that was unfolding before him.

Perhaps, it's both.

"Mr. Li, you have a good eye for investment, investing in Fusheng early on."

Bao Chongxin's words were absolutely heartfelt, and Rong Zhengyi and Ding Chang'an even sensed a hint of jealousy.

Is this envy or jealousy?

Of course, they didn't make fun of Bao Chongxin.

Witnessing Lin Rui's rise time and time again, aren't they also marveling at Li Donglai's sharp eye?

"That's too kind of you."

Li Donglai, composed and unassuming, simply waved his hand modestly, but the slight smugness at the corner of his mouth revealed that he was in a good mood.

Frankly speaking, his original intention in investing 30 billion yuan in Tianrui Entertainment was completely different from what outsiders speculated.

At the time, he was just playing around with the idea of ​​making 300 small goals, and he was prepared to lose money in the short term, or even have his investment go down the drain.

But he can't exactly advertise this all over the world.

At the time, he did recognize Lin Rui's potential, but that was all; it was more of an elder's appreciation for a younger generation.

However, Lin Rui's subsequent actions not only amazed him, but also affected the financial circle, and were misinterpreted by the entire financial industry as another textbook example of making a fortune with a small investment.

As Fusheng's fame and influence grew, and Tianrui Entertainment continued to expand, the praise from the financial world became louder and louder, to the point that Li Donglai would simply scroll past similar reports without batting an eye.

Ding!

Suddenly, the brightly lit stage went out, plunging the entire venue into darkness.

About five seconds later, a spotlight fell on the center of the stage.

Under the spotlight, a person stands, a stark contrast to the surrounding darkness.

At this moment, the scene gradually fell silent, but this silence did not last long before a deafening roar erupted!

Life is fleeting!

Life is fleeting!

Life is fleeting!

Lin Rui, dressed in a white suit, maintained a humble smile throughout.

Feeling the enthusiasm coming from all directions, and under the long-awaited spotlight, a scene flashed through Lin Rui's mind at this moment.

It feels so familiar...

"Before stepping onto this stage, I wondered whether this first song should be dedicated to the city where I have lived for more than ten years, or to those who have experienced flames and explosions, or to those of you who have stayed behind."

"In the end, I made a selfish decision."

"I want to sing for myself."

"My past, present, and future self."

"This is a story that belongs to me, and to most people."

After saying that, Lin Rui raised his hand slightly and snapped his fingers.

The crisp sound was transmitted through the microphone.

Immediately afterwards, two more spotlights were shone on the scene.

Under the spotlight, some people held up electric guitars, while others sat in front of keyboards and drum kits.

band!

"It's Xiao Jingyu and Zheng Jiayou!"

"And Wen Wenxuan and Chi Tianju too!"

"It's the XZWC duo!"

The scene erupted in deafening screams!

Is this the rhythm of getting ready to rock?

wrong!

Is Fusheng planning to release a new song?!

Not only those on-site, but also the general public in various states watching the live broadcast on [Voice of Xiazhou] became excited!

Damn it!

It really is a new song!

Above the stage, on the four huge screens facing different directions, lines of text appeared.

Everyone's attention was firmly drawn to the first line of text.

—Song: "The Ordinary Road"
