A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return

Xia Ling’s company began operating smoothly very quickly.

All these were made possible due to Lin Yunan’s efforts. Coming from a business family background, he was able to run the company very well.

As for Xia Ling? She only had to focus on her music and matters related to shows or public activities that she would have to attend. Meanwhile, in the conference room, Xia Ling held a cup of tea with both her hands and said as she tilted her head slightly, “The first thing that we need to settle, would be the matter with regards to the concert tour. Many of my fans have already bought their tickets, but Skyart Entertainment canceled it without any proper notice. Even though they managed to refund the tickets, this caused many people to be dissatisfied. I don’t like the way they have dealt with this matter.”

Lin Yunan nodded. “This would indeed have negative impacts on your popularity. Anyone has any ideas on how to deal with this?”

Every department contributed their ideas. Shortly after the discussion, they decided to continue to hold the concert tour. A notice was published on her official site, which announced this decision. They would sell the concert tickets again and promised that for every concert in the remaining tour, it would be one hour longer than the original duration.

Lin Yunan was a little worried about how it would affect her vocal cords. “Are you able to manage such high-intensity concerts?”

She smiled, the corner of her eyes showing slight arrogance. “What’s there to feel worried about? Isn’t it just three hours instead of two now? This is still far from what I am capable of.”

Lin Yunan recalled her spectacular stage presence, not forgetting her superb performances every time she was on stage. She had faith in his ability to manage the company. Similarly, he also had faith in her impressive musical talent. Her existence itself was a miracle.

Fans who were previously disappointed and furious about the fact that the concerts were canceled had regained hope and anticipation the moment they saw the official notice. They supported her comeback with great enthusiasm, shouting out “Defeat Skyart Entertainment” as their slogan.

From an outsider’s perspective…

Or rather, as a matter of fact, the truth was that…

She left Skyart Entertainment because of the discrimination against her.

Many loyal fans felt indignant for her. They were even more unhappy when they heard that Skyart Entertainment would be using the venue, which originally should be for her concert tour, for other purposes. They urged that she should have a head-to-head battle with Skyart Entertainment, and defeat them.

“Head-to-head battle…?” Xia Ling stared at the comments on her official site and was deeply absorbed in her thoughts.

Li Yunan moved over and took a look. “This is such a good idea! Your popularity can definitely win any of Skyart Entertainment’s female celebrities. Moreover, you are a new star. If you win, that’s your glory, and even if you lose, it won’t be embarrassing.”

Xia Ling was also infuriated. What Tan Ying did previously was really unacceptable.

She pushed the laptop away, leaned backward, and said casually, “Alright! Then we will have a competition.”

Lin Yunan smiled satisfyingly. The reason that he had chosen this girl and decided to do his best to make her famous was that he liked her arrogance. Not afraid of anything.

He asked around and realized that Skyart Entertainment used the original venue to hold Xie Linlang’s solo concert.

He ordered the Operations department to rent the same venue that Xie Linlang would be holding her solo concert the day after her performance. The same period, the same audio equipment, the same ticket price…

He was eager to see who would be more popular.

In no time, fans who were observant noticed the similarity, and many started to debate about this contest. Xie Linlang had always been the main celebrity that Skyart Entertainment promoted. As for Ye Xingling, she also became famous under Skyart Entertainment, even though they eventually gave up on her. Between the two of them, who would be able to gather more audience?

Fans for the two celebrities began to compete with each other. Many of them who did not plan to watch the concert previously had decided to buy tickets to support their idols.

Media journalists also focused their attention on these two concerts.

On the concert day, in the makeup room.

Xia Ling sat in front of the mirror and gave the makeup artists the freedom to do her makeup.

Lin Yunan stayed by her side. Occasional noises from fans outside could be heard.

Lin Yunan had a relaxed smile on his face. “You’re still the best. I went out to take a look just now, the whole audience section was fully filled with people. There are also many outside the venue who don’t have tickets but are trying to sneak in. As for Xie Linlang’s solo concert yesterday, even though they sold out all the tickets, the audience section was not full. On top of that, people who were loitering around outside with extra tickets were unable to sell them away for prices higher than yours.”

For this contest, she was destined to be the winner even before she started singing.

Xia Ling looked down slightly, carefully arranging her shiny nails. Victory was what she had expected, she just wanted to show the public that this was the truth. Objectively speaking, she did not hate Xie Linlang, and actually had a good impression of her. Unfortunately, they were on different sides, and one would be destined to be another’s stepping stone.

After tonight, there would be no such thing as two goddesses of falsetto in the music industry.

She would become the only goddess of falsetto.

At the front stage, the cheers were getting louder and louder.

A staff member came over to inform her that everything was ready for her to go on stage.

Wearing an extravagant outfit, she walked up to the stage leisurely, putting up an air of arrogance.

Tonight, this was her stage.

She showcased her falsetto perfectly.

Three hours went by really quickly.

Everyone in the audience was stunned by her angelic voice, unable to recover from the breathtaking performance.

“Oh my…” an audience member grabbed her friend and exclaimed, “Is this an illusion? No… this is not an illusion, Xiao Ling’s voice sounds even better than before. I dare to say, in the whole music industry, other than Diva Xia Ling who has already passed away, no one is able to sing better than her.”

“That’s right!” Her friend shouted in excitement. “I love you, Xiao Ling!”

The craze spread through the audience.

The dissatisfactions with Skyart Entertainment canceling the concert and refunding the tickets were all gone after Xia Ling’s marvelous performance. Everyone felt that it was worth to go through all those troubles in exchange to hear such an amazing voice.

The same night, fans who went to the concert were all describing how perfect and wonderful her voice was. There were even fans who posted online videos that they secretly took during the live performance.

The whole internet was shaken.

After Goddess Xia Ling passed away for so many years, another Goddess of Falsetto had finally appeared in the music industry.

The next day, almost every music related post was filled with comments by her fans, even people who were originally not her fans joined the discussion. As for Xie Linlang? She was unnoticeable.

The result for the contest between the two goddesses of falsetto was obvious.

Tan Ying was furious. He screamed at a few departments’ managers, “What are all of you doing? Don’t you know how to rent the same venue during other dates as well? Linlang’s concert was on Saturday, Ye Xingling’s concert was on Sunday. Even with this arrangement, we were defeated! This is total defeat! Total defeat! Defeat that we can’t even find an excuse for!”

The concert date arrangement matter was indeed something to be upset about.

As a matter of fact, Saturday was the best concert day choice. Sunday could only be considered as the second best. As a result, the ticket sale for Sunday should be worse than Saturday. Nonetheless, Xia Ling still defeated Xie Linlang, and the defeat was so obvious that it ruined Xie Linlang’s reputation.
