Chapter 22: Two Concert Invitations! Three Women Make a Drama~

“Holy shit! That was mind-blowing!”

“What did I just hear? Both versions of ‘Under the Sea’ were absolutely stunning!”

“Shen Lang’s solo version was amazing, and the duet with Phoenix Legend was just as incredible!”

“Ahhh! Shen Lang, I love you!”

“Uncle Shen, can I marry your nephew?”

“Uncle Shen, my husband is Shen Lang—please tell him I miss him and to stop writing such sad songs!”

“Shen Lang, you’re the best, keep going!”

“Shen Lang, fight your illness! The two versions of ‘Under the Sea’ you wrote are both fantastic!”

“Now this is what a true musician’s attitude should be!”

“…”

After the eighth episode of Ace vs. Ace Season 3 aired last night, the entire internet was buzzing—completely dominated by Shen Lang.

Faced with this situation, Blue TV was a little stunned.

How did Shen Lang manage to break through like this?

But honestly, Shen Lang’s performance in this episode was outstanding.

Blue TV even started considering pairing Shen Teng and Shen Lang—uncle and nephew—as a permanent duo for the next season of Ace vs. Ace. Their chemistry in this episode was electric, with Shen Lang setting up jokes and Shen Teng delivering the punchlines.

It wasn’t just Shen Teng helping Shen Lang out—Jia Lin was also supporting him.

And it wasn’t just Blue TV—Mango TV was paying attention too.

Host He Jiong saw the trending topics about Shen Lang’s performance and thought his variety show instincts were excellent. At that moment, He Jiong was already considering which episode of Back to Field Season 2 to invite Shen Lang for.

Mango TV’s executives also noticed the buzz and wanted Shen Lang to appear in more episodes. His natural flair for entertainment made him perfect for variety shows.

When He Jiong got the call from the Back to Field production team, he couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.

Who was the one who initially refused?

Who said they didn’t want “nepo babies” or industry plants on Back to Field?

And now?

Well, He Jiong had underestimated things.

Once Back to Field’s ratings skyrocketed, industry plants would be the least of their worries.

The first three seasons were decent, but later on, when capital started pushing people in for clout, redemption arcs, and image rehab—that was when things got ugly.

The happiest person seeing Shen Lang trending was undoubtedly The Wandering Earth director Guo Fan.

He called early in the morning to cheer Shen Lang on and reminded him again to take his time with the music—there was still nearly a year left.

The more popular Shen Lang became, the more his star power would help The Wandering Earth’s box office.

In response to Director Guo’s reminder, Shen Lang said he was already working on it.

Among the five songs the system had rewarded him, “Stars and Oceans” was perfect for The Wandering Earth.

If it were just a sci-fi film, it might not fit.

But since Guo Fan tied The Wandering Earth to patriotic themes, “Stars and Oceans” was an ideal match.

Today, his phone barely stopped ringing.

Call after call kept coming in.

To his surprise, Jane Zhang called—inviting him to her 2018 Tour. She said she had tentatively scheduled a few stops and asked which dates worked for him so she could adjust accordingly.

After the show’s recording, Jane had mentioned it, but Shen Lang thought it was just a polite, casual invitation.

But she was serious?

From Jane, he learned her 2018 tour had the following tentative dates:

May 5: Beijing

May 19: Shenzhen

May 26: Shanghai

July 7: Chengdu

These were just the domestic stops—Jane mentioned she’d also hold a few overseas concerts.

Hearing her schedule, Shen Lang didn’t agree immediately. He said he’d check his availability and get back to her.

Jane told him to take his time but to reply within three days.

After chatting for a bit, they hung up.

The next call was from G.E.M.—also inviting him to her 2018 Tour.

Shen Lang: “…Did you two plan this?”

G.E.M.’s concerts started in late May:

May 26: Dongguan

May 27: Chengdu

August 18: Xi’an

…and more.

The later dates were still undecided—these were just the first four.

Shen Lang noticed G.E.M.’s first concert overlapped with one of Jane’s.

In that case, his decision was simple:

Attend Jane’s first concert.

Attend G.E.M.’s last one.

He’d made up his mind, but he still didn’t confirm with G.E.M. right away. He asked for a few days to finalize his schedule before giving her an answer.

G.E.M. said there was no rush—as long as he showed up, she was happy.

“Xiao Lang, not bad—quietly breaking into the music scene, huh? Concert invites one after another…”

Li Xiaoran had appeared at some point, smiling teasingly.

While he was on the phone, Li Qin, Li Chun, and the others had gone to film their scenes.

Li Xiaoran didn’t have many scenes left, but she still liked coming to set—mostly to keep an eye on the young man she was “sponsoring.”

“Sister Xiaoran, my career’s just getting started~”

“Exactly. That’s why I can still sponsor you now. Once you blow up, you think I’d dare?”

Shen Lang had no rebuttal—because it was true.

After blowing up?

Honestly, if Li Xiaoran still wanted to “sponsor” him, he’d agree.

As long as it was a beautiful older sister, Shen Lang wouldn’t refuse.

Being kept by one rich benefactor was still being kept.

Being kept by multiple rich benefactors was also being kept.

So.

Shen Lang chose the latter!

“Sister Xiaoran, what are you two talking about?”

Li Chun walked over, curious.

From her perspective, Li Xiaoran hadn’t interacted much with Shen Lang.

Even though Tian Jing had asked Li Xiaoran to look after Shen Lang on set, it was supposed to be purely professional.

Privately? She’d never seen it.

But that just showed how well Li Xiaoran hid things.

As an older sister who’d survived the cutthroat entertainment industry since the 2000s, she had her own methods.

Li Xiaoran explained, “We were just talking about Xiao Lang’s song—‘Under the Sea’ is really good. Just now, some professional singers even invited him to their concerts.”

“Really?” Li Chun gasped.

“What’s really?”

Li Qin and Song Qian walked over arm-in-arm.

“The concert thing…”

Li Chun glanced at Li Xiaoran and Shen Lang.

Li Xiaoran stayed quiet, acting like she wasn’t involved.

So Shen Lang took over and explained.

“Xiao Lang, you’re crossing over into music now?”
