Chapter 488: I’ll Get Tickets for You
It was getting closer and closer to the night of the music concert and Young Master Han was giving Xiyuan more and more pressure.
Xiyuan would struggle in his heart as he watched Lu Jingqi practicing dancing with his teammates nowadays. Sometimes, when he imagined that Lu Jingqi was bleeding because he was injured, he would start shaking uncontrollably.
He would ask himself repeatedly whether he should really be so selfish. Was it right for him to sacrifice someone else’s health and well-being just because of his own future? However, it took him more than seven years to finally get this far in his career...
He... really did not want to give up on his career just like that.
Therefore, after calming himself down, he was always waiting for the perfect opportunity to arise because he knew that there would definitely be one day where Lu Jingqi’s assistant would be negligent.
As the boys started getting closer and closer to another, after training together every day, Lu Jingqi’s assistant also started to relax a little and he would always be waiting for them at the dormitory instead.
Xiyuan realized that this had been happening for the past few days.
Therefore, Xiyuan started to plan out how he should play his cards to get Lu Jingqi out of the agency.
...
On the other side, Jiang Yuning’s dancing skill has improved vastly because of An Youqing’s help.
The organizer for the music concert also updated the information on the concert from time to time, announcing that there would be several new guests participating in the concert. Of course, in order to maintain the suspense, the organizer only released a silhouette and several keywords from time to time to keep the audience in suspense about the identity of the guests.
[The organizer is a little ridiculous. Jiang Yuning’s itinerary for the 6th of next month is already out...]
[Ahh! Can I finally listen to my idol’s singing again? I am so happy because I did not get to watch her singing the last time!]
[Hahaha! My friend just told me that they had already increased the price of the music concert tickets because Jiang Yuning would be making a special appearance! Thankfully, I already got my tickets earlier!]
[You are lucky if you bought it earlier! It would not be a loss to see Empress Jiang performing!]
[Mm...Jiang Yuning is just an actress and not a singer, but she can even affect the pricing of the concert ticket?]
[Can the organizer please control the price of the concert tickets? It is really too expensive now and I can’t even afford to pay for the tickets! Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!]
Who would have predicted this kind of situation?
No one would have expected Jiang Yuning to have such a strong appeal in public. Previously, the organizers had to try really hard to get people to push and ask if anyone wanted to attend the music concert so that they could sell the tickets. Even though it was not that difficult to sell the concert tickets the tickets did not sell as quickly as it did now.
Therefore, in a blink of an eye, #Jiang Yuning increased price of concert ticket# made it to the hot search.
[This is really too much! The entire concert is around three hours and Jiang Yuning would only be on stage for a few minutes! I think that this is really too much!]
[I have to admit that Jiang Yuning is indeed very popular right now but I really want to curse at her! I saved about two months of my pocket money just so I would be able to afford to purchase the concert tickets to see my favorite male celeb. Now, I will not be able to afford the concert tickets because of Jiang Yuning! I am so annoyed!]
[The organizers must be insane! All they care about is money! Jiang Yuning must have colluded with them to increase the price of the concert tickets.]
[Previously, the organizers were trying to sell out the tickets but now, they are asking for a much higher price for a limited amount of tickets. This is so unreal!]
It was obviously a short appearance and it was not even Jiang Yuning’s solo performance. However, the price of the music concert tickets had already doubled. It was no wonder why the fans had already started complaining.
At this point, even the organizers could not stop themselves from asking Vera whether she would consider releasing an album for Jiang Yuning instead. This was because they were certain that if Jiang Yuning really had a concert, it would definitely be filled to the brim.
Vera felt very happy after listening to the organizer’s comments and she felt as though this was not completely impossible anyway. However, she also brought up the issue of asking the organizer to suppress the price of the concert tickets because some students have already called to complain about the price of the tickets. This was because fans of the other artistes participating in the music concert were also dissatisfied because they would also have to bear the cost of the high price tickets.
However, the end result proved to be not satisfactory at all.
The organizer was very arrogant and they simply said, “This is how it is if anyone wants to chase after a star. If anyone thinks that it is not worth it, then nobody is forcing them to buy the concert tickets anyway! Moreover, if they cannot afford to purchase the concert ticket, then they can just give up their tickets to someone else. This is not a charity in the first place.”
Vera could not help but cursed at the organizers in her heart before she replied, “Well, I cannot stop you if you choose to look only at the immediate benefits that you can get out of increasing the prices of the concert tickets. However, I must advise you that it will certainly be more difficult for you to get any artistes from Guangying Media to participate in any of your events in future. Moreover, according to Yuning’s temper, if she finds out that the prices of the concert tickets had been doubled because of her, she would most likely withdraw from participating in the concert.”
The person in charge was speechless as soon as he heard Vera’s words.
This was because he believed that Jiang Yuning would definitely act in that manner.
Since he had already earned enough, he had better stop making things difficult for others. Otherwise, he might end up with nothing at all at the end of the day,
Even so, the public and fans continued scolding Jiang Yuning for several days.
Although Jiang Yuning was still in the crew and did not have any access to the internet, she found out about the rocket high price of the concert tickets. Even though she did not say anything to Vera, Vera could still guess what was going on in her mind. The both of them were starting to understand each other better and there was no need for words at all.
Hou Da was a little dissatisfied during the past two days because the younger actors and actresses were all approaching her to ask for leave. Moreover, all of them were asking to take the same day off. Did they really think that this was a market and that they could come and go as they pleased?
“Asking for leave? No way! All of you must appear at work on that day!”
“But Hou Da...didn’t you say that you wanted to attend the concert on that day too?
Hou Da was stunned for a moment when she heard the young actress’s comment.
“Well, I am the screenwriter so it is my freedom to go anywhere that I want to. Do you have the right to control or stop me? Anyway, why are all of you chasing after a star anyway? Isn’t it enough for you to see Jiang Yuning practicing her dance moves every day?”
Everyone: “...”
In fact, everyone was itching to see Jiang Yuning dancing and performing on stage because they would always see An Youqing and Jiang Yuning practicing their dance moves together.
In the end, Hou Da could not bear to turn down the requests of those young actors and actresses. Therefore, she finally gave in and accepted their application for leave. “I will also get you tickets when Jiang Yuning holds her own concert in future.”
At this time, Jiang Yuning who was sitting at the sidelines memorizing her lines, was also left speechless. She knew that it was not easy for Hou Da to manage so many of them.
Hou Da was really doing a good job.
...
Late at night.
The agency was very quiet and there was only the rhythmic sound of music playing over and over again from the dance studio.
Lu Jingqi was the only one practicing his dance moves in the studio today because the rest of his teammates were at the recording studio as they would be shooting their music video in a few days’ time.
Xiyuan knew about this matter. Therefore, after arriving at the agency, he quickly went to the dance studio to see whether Lu Jingqi was still there.
It was about half-past ten at night.
Xiyuan quickly made a phone call when he saw that Lu Jingqi was still in the dance studio all by himself. About ten minutes later, he took a deep breath before he pushed the glass door open and turned off the music. “Jingqi, I think I saw your father waiting for you under the tree opposite the entrance of the agency.”
Lu Jingqi stopped dancing as soon as the music was stopped. At this time, he turned around and looked at Xiyuan as he panted. “Okay.”
“Go and see him! I will tell your assistant to go and pick you up later. Remember to put on your face mask!”
Lu Jingqi nodded his head before wiping the sweat off his forehead and face with his sleeves. After that, he put on a cap and his face mask before he walked out of the dance studio. As he was headed towards the entrance of the agency, he was stopped by Jin Mingchen who was just coming over to look for him. “Jingqi, where are you going?”
“I...my father is here. He is waiting for me across the street,” Lu Jingqi replied as he pointed at the entrance.
