Chapter 181 - 178: The Great Singer
Waking up, Ling Chen glanced at the clock—it was 6:30 in the morning. After washing up, he dialed the hotel’s front desk, and soon a server brought a lavish breakfast to his room.
While he was eating, Zhong Wei knocked on the door and came in, handing a schedule to Ling Chen, "This is the chairman’s plan for today, take a look."
Ling Chen bit into his bread and looked over the schedule, the corners of his mouth instantly curving up. Today’s work was quite relaxed; Nanrong Wanqing was scheduled to visit friends at several places. As long as it wasn’t somewhere crowded, there wasn’t much to worry about.
"Captain Zhong, you haven’t eaten yet, have you? Come, join me." As he spoke, Ling Chen casually picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, flipping through channels ceaselessly.
At that moment, the duo hosting an entertainment show suddenly caught his attention.
"In two days, the pop music scene’s rising star Tang Shiyun will be holding her first concert at the Beijing Sports Stadium. Speaking of Tang Shiyun, I believe there are few who haven’t heard of her. Although it’s been just over a month since her debut, her songs have already spread across major music stations and she’s topped the new song trending charts for four consecutive weeks. I just checked, and the second place is 67 million in popularity behind her—an unprecedented situation."
"You’re right, becoming a nation-wide sensation in just one month, and turning into a familiar pop star isn’t an easy feat. Apart from opportunity, what’s more important is her talent. I won’t lie, I’m also a devoted fan of hers. From the moment I heard her first song, I was immersed in her voice, unable to extricate myself. The first thought that popped into my head was that this girl would surely become wildly popular—a big star in the limelight."
"I heard that the concert tickets went on presale two weeks in advance and they got snapped up overnight. Originally priced at 1,800, the tickets have now been scalped for 30,000, and are still hard to find. It’s a phenomenon in the music scene that we haven’t seen for years."
"Just this point alone suffices to highlight the extent to which Tang Shiyun is sought after domestically. My girlfriend even joked with me the other night if I don’t manage to get concert tickets, she would break up with me."
