"They're such a perfect match!"
All the contestants and staff at the exchange meeting in the banquet hall were captivated by this scene.
Surprisingly, Lin Fan, a doctor, was not intimidated at all.
Moreover, his brilliance was not overshadowed by the two female stars in the slightest.
"The captain is amazing. Not only is his medical skill superb, but he also has such a wide network of connections."
"Even national goddesses like Gu Yuanxin and Sun Fangqiong can be invited to perform."
Wang Luobin felt that the champagne in his hand no longer tasted good.
"If I had that skill, why would I be a doctor?"
Someone nearby echoed with envy.
"The captain is amazing! If I had that kind of charm, I would have become an actor and dated female celebrities long ago."
Zhang Lanyu's eyes lit up.
"Is that all you've got? And you're a member of the championship team?"
"I think you're all about being a smooth talker."
Xu Qiuyue rolled her eyes at him, her expression particularly displeased.
"Qiuya, stop bullying him. He's injured right now."
Liang Shaoqing chuckled.
Ever since Zhang Lanyu came into the picture, Xu Qiuyue's attacks have all been directed at him.
This relieved Liang Shaoqing of some of the pressure.
"drizzling".
"Thump-thump-thump".
The intro to a love song began playing on the stage; you could tell it was a classic love song just by listening to it.
Lin Fan stood in the center of the stage, with Gu Yuanxin and Sun Fangqiong on either side of him.
He spoke into the microphone with deep emotion.
Gu Yuanxin and Sun Fangqiong also sang a duet together, and the three of them coordinated perfectly.
Lin Fan was neither a professional nor skilled.
However, his exceptionally emotional singing made up for the shortcomings.
Gu Yuanxin and Sun Fangqiong, on the other hand, used their professional singing voices to get everyone moving and dancing to the beat.
Many people put down their glasses and clapped along to the rhythm.
Some people took out their phones, some to record videos, and others to turn on the flash to add to the excitement.
"Well sung!"
"Gu Yuanxin! Sun Fangqiong! Goddess, I love you."
"..."
As the song ended, various declarations of love rang out from the audience.
It created the perfect atmosphere in the banquet hall.
"Now, I will sing a song."
Gu Yuanxin took over the stage.
Lin Fan and Sun Fangqiong were the first to leave the field.
The song started again.
Wu Hanlin and Zhou Zhiqiang stood side by side, each holding a glass of red wine.
"President Zhou, Lin Fan is truly a rare talent."
"Not only is he a highly skilled doctor, but he also sings quite well and is very sociable."
Wu Hanlin said with emotion.
"To be honest, I'd love to poach him from my company and make him my general manager."
"His public relations skills are absolutely top-notch in the workplace."
Zhou Zhiqiang nodded in deep agreement.
The two of them chatted as they listened to Gu Yuanxin's beautiful singing voice.
Everyone was very supportive and sang along.
"Sizzle".
Just as everyone was singing enthusiastically, a piercing electrical sound suddenly came from the air.
Then, the entire banquet hall was plunged into darkness.
"Why did the power suddenly go out?"
"Don't push! Who stepped on my foot?"
The people who were dancing suddenly became chaotic.
"Splash."
"Clatter".
The sound of a wine glass being knocked over followed by the sound of a plate hitting the ground.
Many people turned on their phone flashlights to barely see people.
To avoid further chaos.
"Can you smell it? There's a burning smell."
"It's probably because of a short circuit in the wiring that caused it to catch fire."
"No, it looks like there's a fire."
"..."
One wave subsides only for another to rise.
Before anyone could calm down, someone else started shouting.
"What happened?"
Lin Fan was on the stage when he saw the commotion in the banquet hall. He quickly went up to the stage to protect the two panicked women.
"Someone said there's a fire, we need to get out quickly."
Gu Yuanxin looked flustered and grabbed Lin Fan, trying to rush out.
"Don't act rashly!"
"The situation is unclear right now, and with so many people, a stampede could easily occur."
Lin Fan pulled her back forcefully.
"Look, it's really on fire over there."
Sun Fangqiong pointed towards the door, her pretty face filled with panic.
I never imagined that attending a dinner party would lead to such a dangerous situation.
"Are you crazy? Using alcohol to put out a fire will only make it burn brighter."
"There's nothing I can do, I can't find a fire extinguisher either!"
"What should we do? We need to find a way to break out."
"Don't panic, everyone. The fire isn't big. Let's evacuate in an orderly manner now."
"..."
Some made things worse, while others reacted hastily.
It drowned out those voices that were still somewhat rational.
Thick smoke filled the banquet hall, causing people to cough repeatedly.
"Everyone stay still, the firefighters are coming to put out the fire soon!"
Lin Fan shouted, "Everyone, wet the tissues on the table with alcohol and use them as masks to avoid being exposed to smoke."
This is a five-star hotel, not a wet market; its fire safety and security capabilities are comprehensive.
And as you can see, the fire source is clearly very weak and won't cause a big fire.
As long as everyone stays calm, there are ways to save ourselves.
"Lin Fan, when did you contact the staff here?"
Sun Fangqiong did not discover who he had contacted.
"Shh... Let's keep the morale up first."
Lin Fan lowered his voice and said, "Such a large amount of smoke indicates one thing."
"What's the problem?"
Gu Yuanxin asked hurriedly.
"That means there was no open flame."
"They just wanted to create chaos and panic by cutting off power and adding smoke."
