Chapter 949 Concert Family and Friends Group
"Old Huang, I have to leave early this afternoon, can you keep an eye on things for me?" Qiu Ling said to her colleague as soon as she entered the office.
"Don't worry, I remember." Old Huang held up a teacup and asked, "I didn't expect you to keep in touch with those kids after you met them back then."
“Yes,” Qiu Ling said. “Although we’ve had less contact since they moved away, we haven’t lost touch. They still send me messages during holidays. Later, my husband went back to record ‘City Travelogue,’ and he occasionally gets invited to events in the entertainment industry. He took me with him, and we’ve met them a few times.”
Old Huang: "No wonder, my daughter said she wanted to treat you to dinner later, and I managed to get her a ticket."
Qiu Ling smiled and said, "My husband is away on a business trip tonight and won't be in Yuming. I already have an extra ticket on hand. Your daughter likes them, so it's perfect for her."
"I know that tickets for relatives and friends can fetch tens of thousands of yuan each on the scalper market, and there's no market for them even if they're available," Old Huang said with a smile. "I'll remember this favor."
"Why bother remembering? You covered my shift today, so consider it paying you back," Qiu Ling said with a smile. "By the way, Xiao Xiao is waiting for me at the school gate at 4 pm. Did you tell her?"
“I told you, don’t worry, she will never be late for a minute, and she will never forget. This girl didn’t sleep at all last night, she was so excited that she sang in the middle of the night, I almost threw her out.”
"Haha, it's your own daughter, how could you throw her away? Just bear with it," Qiu Ling said with a laugh.

No. 13 Middle School.
Two students, looking anxious, knocked on the door and entered Liu Qin's office.
"Teacher Liu, we're here. What can I do for you?"
The two students stood in front of Liu Qin, their faces showing natural awe.
Like a mouse seeing a cat.
Liu Qin was already used to such expressions.
It's commonplace.
She took out two tickets.
"This is what I promised you two weeks ago. You won a prize in the essay competition, so I took you to Lu Yanhe's concert. I'm here to fulfill my promise."
The two students were stunned, their faces filled with shock.
"Really? Teacher Liu!"
"Wait a minute, don't get excited." Liu Qin looked at the two students in front of her. "I have one more request. Don't forget, do you remember the request I made before?"
"We need to improve our ranking by 100 places in the next monthly exam."
“That’s right.” Liu Qin nodded. “This is the condition for me to take you two to the concert. Now, tell me, can you do it?”
"able!"
"Definitely!"
The two of them were both very enthusiastic.
“This isn’t something that can be done just by making a statement,” Liu Qin said. “Let me make this clear first: if you don’t study hard and do these things, then whether you’re taking the art exam or actually becoming artists in the future, don’t come to me for help again. I won’t help you with anything.”
The two students looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Is it possible?"
"What if we don't improve by a hundred places?" one of them asked cautiously. "Our grades are so bad—"
"Your grades are so bad that I only asked you to improve by 100 places. If you want to get into Beijing Arts University, you need to have better grades in your academic subjects. You are both good at writing, and you're not unintelligent. My request for you is not unreasonable at all. Are you giving up before you've even started trying?"
Neither student spoke.
Liu Qin: "In that case, I'll give these two tickets to other students."
"No, Teacher Liu! I can do it! I'll do it even if it means hanging myself by my hair or pricking my thigh with an awl!"
"Me too!"
Liu Qin nodded in satisfaction: "That's more like it."

"Yes, Yan He specially sent me two tickets."
He Shuyi, a performance coach with millions of followers across various social media platforms, answered questions from the live stream audience after a public online class, and said with a smile.
"So there won't be a live stream tonight," He Shuyi said. "I have to go to their concert."
Someone in the live chat asked: Have you been Lu Yanhe's acting coach all along?
He Shuyi shook her head: "Strictly speaking, I have never actually served as his acting coach. He is a very talented and insightful child in acting. He just hasn't received professional training at a film and drama academy. So, in the early stages of his acting career, I was commissioned to accompany him to rehearse some scenes from the script before he joined the crew. I was just giving him some guidance on experience. Please don't go around saying that I am Lu Yanhe's acting coach. I myself don't dare to use that title—that's just swindling."
A commenter asked: If that's the case, why would Lu Yanhe specifically send you tickets?
He Shuyi laughed and said, "What else could it be? He's a very thoughtful person. As far as I know, he's given tickets to many people who have helped him. He's always been a very thoughtful and warm-hearted person, but many of us are reluctant to cause him unnecessary controversy or trouble, so we rarely say anything, even things that praise him. For him, no matter how good or bad the topic, it will always generate some negative controversy. Today, too many people have asked, so let me explain. The reason we don't talk about him often isn't because we've lost contact with him or become estranged. Enough of that. I'm just a teacher of basic acting. Let's get back to the main topic."

"Yes, I can't go today."
In the video, Feng Qiyue, the screenwriter of "The Seventeenth Floor," is carrying a suitcase and answering a question from a fan who recognized him at the airport with a smile.
"Of course he sent me the tickets, but I couldn't do anything about it. He's also planning to make three spin-off movies of 'The Seventeen Floors'. I had to fly to the US to discuss the second draft of the script with the team there."
“I told him a long time ago that he’s a screenwriter himself and he can write it himself, but he insisted on dragging me to write it.” Feng Qiyue complained, but smiled. “If he had written it himself, I could have gone to his concert tonight. Ugh, what a headache.”
"Fortunately, we can watch the live recording on a video platform later."

At 2 PM, Lu Yanhe, Li Zhibai, and Yan Liang set off from Ziyuan Bridge to the concert venue.
They had to do the final sound check, and then they had to change clothes, get their hair and makeup done, and shoot some promotional materials.
The concert officially began at 7:30 p.m.
Starting in the afternoon, a large amount of related information appeared on social media platforms.
For example, Peng Zhixing and others who wrote "The Days of Youth" gathered together and prepared to head to Lu Yanhe's concert later.
For example, Yin Xincheng, Zhan Yun, and Bai Jin also posted a group photo, saying "See you at the concert~".
For example, some well-known and not-so-well-known alumni of Zhenhua University posted photos of their tickets on social media to show them off.
Those who didn't manage to get tickets envy those who did.
Those who managed to snag tickets envy those who have tickets for family and friends, because they get a private table with a great view.
For a time, the concert was so popular that it seemed to have become a phenomenon.
There are very few singers who can turn a concert into a viral sensation.
The three of them also created this effect.
