Chapter 186: Chapter 183: Truly Too Miserable (Requesting Monthly Tickets)

"Of course I know Qi Hao, but I... I’m not familiar with him?"

Sun Yanzi knows Qi Hao well.

Singapore is a region heavily influenced by Huaxia’s culture. Her world tour consists of thirteen shows, with eight held in Huaxia, showing the importance she places on the market here.

Huaxia’s acceptance of her is also very high.

However, while Sun Yanzi is not niche, performing concerts in a fiercely competitive foreign market still made her invite Han Hong as a concert guest.

She never considered inviting Qi Hao as a guest performer.

Qi Hao is currently the hottest male star in Huaxia’s mainland, with every move making the news.

Sun Yanzi doesn’t even dare to think about it.

Now, Qi Hao suddenly reached out, expressing interest in being a guest at her concert. Her first reaction was whether this person might be a scammer.

"But the person who contacted me was indeed Qi Hao’s agent, Zhang Nan."

The organizers have repeatedly confirmed.

Besides, even if it’s a scam, what could they possibly cheat them out of?

Guest performers are generally a matter of mutual favor, and they don’t get paid. Opting to repay the favor later is all it takes.

"I’ve already invited Han Hong..." Sun Yanzi was a bit troubled.

"Either discuss with Han Hong to let her perform at the Shen City show, or talk to Qi Hao about performing there, or discuss with both to have them as guest performers together. After all, there’s no rule about having only one guest performer. The capital show is the first one in the mainland, doing it well could help us establish a foothold."

The organizers offered several options.

"Uh, he wants two tickets. Who is he going with to watch the concert?"

Sun Yanzi tends to lean towards the last option; appearing on stage with Han Hong and Qi Hao would truly be an unmatched event this year.

"Uh... we didn’t ask. Do we need to know?"

The organizers looked puzzled. Does it matter who Qi Hao is going to the concert with?

"I heard he has a lot of rumored girlfriends in the mainland. I also heard that being rumored with him makes one popular, so I’m curious who he’s seeing the concert with."

Sun Yanzi was just gossiping.

This "Fortunate Wife’s Destiny" is incredibly fascinating.

The crucial point is many people believe it.

"It should be... the agent? Oh right, the former agent. His relationship with the former agent is exceptionally good, and now the former agent has become the manager of his studio..."

The organizers, being insiders, know quite a bit.

"Well, that’s okay then."

Sun Yanzi was a bit disappointed; if Qi Hao could bring a female companion, the buzz might be even higher.

"Ahem, actually, if you have a thought, you could buy some rumor press in the mainland. Female celebrities here rumored with Qi Hao is pretty common, sometimes just attending events together and taking a photo can lead to rumors."

The organizers presented a rotten idea with no hesitation.

Being rumored with Qi Hao has become a feature of the entertainment industry—whether there’s something or not, rumors abound.

"Ah, no thanks. I already have a boyfriend, thank you."

Sun Yanzi became popular long ago and isn’t planning to follow the film industry route; Qi Hao’s Fortunate Wife’s Destiny doesn’t apply to her.

Besides, her development focus is in Singapore, stirring rumors here doesn’t mean much.

Han Hong’s reply came quickly; she was very willing to share the stage with Qi Hao.

Her straightforward agreement made Sun Yanzi almost suspect if this lady was interested in stirring rumors with Qi Hao.

However, this thought was quickly dismissed.

Han Hong’s status in the mainland music circle is prestigious; she may not be the queen, but as a leading figure, that’s undeniable.

Moreover, Qi Hao is not Xu Zhi’an.

As for Qi Hao, he didn’t mind either. Regardless of who’s on stage, as long as he’s allowed to sing "Green Light," he can accomplish his task on Sun Yanzi’s stage.

Having confirmed to be a guest performer at Sun Yanzi’s concert, Qi Hao began preparing.

Though it’s to accomplish a task, he can’t be too indifferent about it either.

Concerts are performed live, and lip-syncing is damaging to reputations, so Qi Hao will definitely practice the song prepared for him.

Sun Yanzi accepted Qi Hao’s solo performance of "Green Light."

Additionally, she hopes Qi Hao will sing one of his songs, to which Qi Hao chose "Where Has the Time Gone."

Then, Sun Yanzi plans to duet "Encounter" with Qi Hao.

Changing a solo to a duet, even without rehearsals, Qi Hao must smoothly grasp his parts assigned.

With Han Hong as a guest performer, to increase interaction, the organizers asked if Qi Hao would be willing to sing one of Han Hong’s songs.

In return, Han Hong will sing one of Qi Hao’s songs.

Actually, asking if he’s willing is like asking if he’s capable.

Han Hong’s songs are not easy to sing.

Many can sing Princess Consort’s songs, yet it’s hard to do justice to Han Hong’s.

Qi Hao indeed felt cautious about this challenge.

He’s sung Han Hong’s songs in karaoke before; they’re absurdly hard to sing.

The main issue is the lack of time for him to practice little by little as the concert starts next Saturday, and he’s not idle these days.

Song practice can only happen when he finds time.

Eventually, Han Hong got Qi Hao’s phone number and proposed a plan for them to sing "Encounter" and "Come On" as a trio.

Sun Yanzi will sing Qi Hao’s "This Life Will Not Change."

Han Hong decides to sing Qi Hao’s "Old Street."

That could be considered showing enough respect to Qi Hao.

Additionally, Han Hong actually knew that Qi Hao had gone to the scene to carry supplies during the earthquake, which gave Qi Hao a feeling of his secret being spied on.

Unfortunately, it was too far away to trace the phone line and silence her.

Fortunately, Qi Hao is not afraid of being known now.

The main task has been completed, at least two million Maotai stocks, he only needs to confirm the task completion to get them.

Plus, the task that is expected to be completed by this coming Saturday.

Qi Hao will soon have a net worth of several billion, he can donate as much as he wants without fearing anyone blocking him.

To practice singing, Qi Hao also participated in the 9th Huaxia Music Media Awards, where he performed a song on stage.

Unfortunately, the organizer awarded him Best Mandarin Male Singer.

The Best Mandarin Male Newcomer he was eyeing was taken by an idiot named Lu Guangzhong.

When Lu Guangzhong delivered his acceptance speech, the murderous look in Qi Hao’s eyes could almost pierce through Lu Guangzhong’s armor.

Never coming to your Huaxia Music Media Awards again.

Not fair at all, not professional at all, it’s simply a disgrace to the industry.

Just in these few days, "Steel Piano" completely went off-screen.

Very regrettably, the movie made only 29.885 million at the box office.

Couldn’t round it off to a whole number, making Qi Hao especially regretful, he should have spent some money to buy out a screening for Penguin employees to watch the movie.

Now saying the box office for "Steel Piano" was 30 million, it always feels a bit like false advertising.

After all, it’s still short by 120,000!

Lu Sang’s movie went off-screen even earlier than "Steel Piano".

His movie was in theaters for two months, total box office 99 million, with the key extension for one more month, only collecting over 7 million more.

Despite the trouble to extend the key, it really didn’t hit 100 million.

It should have easily surpassed 100 million, even 150 million was within the film party’s anticipation, considering that schools and units would organize viewings.

Under the blessing of the golden body, perhaps even parents and relatives would go watch the movie.

Now, there’s nothing left.

Qi Hao, who was originally a bit depressed, immediately felt better.

Indeed, what can hurt you is misfortune, and what can heal you is naturally your enemy’s misfortune.

What made him even more delighted was that Lu Sang’s trip to Dongguan for a special massage got exposed.

Not only were there photos, but also recordings.

Actually, going for a massage isn’t a big deal.

Such services in that place have become an industry; swordsmanship enthusiasts from all over the country love to go there for a special massage.

Lu Sang’s problem was that he claimed to be a depressive disorder patient.

Not long ago, Lu Sang was insulted across the internet, even the media were cornering him from every direction.

There’s even talk of certain departments planning to set up an investigation team to look into his collusion with forces outside the mirror.

Lu Sang almost peed his pants in fear.

He quickly spent money to arrange a media interview.

From the photos released by the media, Lu Sang looked haggard and much skinnier.

Seems like he might be ill.

Lu Sang stated that he never thought of mentioning his illness to the public, nor does he want the illness to become "hype".

He also mentioned that at this point, he just wants everyone to understand better that depression is an emotion, but depressive disorder is a disease that cannot just be "thought through" or "talked out of".

He sincerely hopes friends who "understand as he does" recognize that whether they are truly "understood" doesn’t matter anymore, but that they continue in the whirlpool of discussion, trying desperately to prove themselves but unable to save themselves.

Circling back, it seemed he’s been criticized so much that it’s causing him depression.

In an interview, Lu Sang also described his illness to the media reporters.

He feels like there are bugs crawling on him, a feeling of needles poking, accompanied by allergies and neurological hearing loss.

Even starting to have frequent dry heaving, dizziness, joint pain, neck pain, and other apparent somatic symptoms and worsening allergies.

Lu Sang said he has been to the hospital for medication and injections, but the symptoms didn’t ease. Currently, he’s undergoing treatment with a psychologist to ease the emotional tension.

Depressive disorder is not a minor illness, it can’t be cured in a month or two; Lu Sang plans to recuperate until he’s fully recovered before making a comeback.

After the related reports came out, the internet exploded in debate immediately.

Some blessed him, some questioned him, and some said this was "selling misery" to gain sympathy.

But no matter what, the comments that were relentlessly chasing Lu Sang to return to his hometown for a C-section have indeed diminished a lot.

However, just as Lu Sang was gradually being forgotten.

The media exposed his latest news.

Yes, severe depressive disorder patient Lu Sang went to Dongguan for a special massage.

He probably never imagined that even a prostitute would look down on this kind of traitor, not only exposing his affairs to the media but also turning around and reporting him for soliciting escort services.

Fines and administrative detention!

Amidst the whole internet fervently discussing his escort solicitation, he couldn’t come forward to explain himself in time due to being in the detention room.

By the time he gets out, it’s likely everything will have cooled down.

Truly too tragic.

Sweet revenge.

Just wonder if he’ll still be depressed once he gets out.
