Chapter 147 - 129: When It Comes to Background, Who the Hell Is More Badass Than Me?
Chapter 147: Chapter 129: When It Comes to Background, Who the Hell Is More Badass Than Me?
’A girl like that could keep a guy busy for at least a year.’
’No, wait.’
’Make that three years!’
Watching the girl walk straight toward the VIP entrance with her two bodyguards, Gao Yuan knew she had an extraordinary background. After all, that RV was parked in a spot like this.
’He’d better not cause any trouble for now.’
In terms of strength, he couldn’t beat those two bodyguards. He’d be stopped before he even got close, without a chance to even try and flirt.
In terms of money, the RV before him was clearly not cheap—it had a Mercedes-Benz logo. Besides, would someone who could afford bodyguards be short on cash?
’As for background, Gao Yuan felt this was the one area where he outshone the girl.’
’No matter who was backing her, could they be stronger than the Money Power System?’
’It’s just that the Money Power System was still in its stealthy development phase. Once he was fully leveled up, it would be the most powerful backing on Blue Star.’
At six o’clock, Gao Yuan put on a mask and a staff pass, then got out of the car.
He strolled leisurely down the staff-only corridor and into the Shanghai Stadium.
Gao Yuan’s pass identified him as a special guest, so at the entrance, he found someone to lead him directly to the stage area.
Skipping the hassle of finding his own way, Gao Yuan quickly arrived backstage.
By now, all the stage lights were on, and crew members were bustling about. Gao Yuan also spotted Jay Chou, surprised to find the star casually eating snacks and playing with two kids backstage.
Gao Yuan didn’t go over immediately. Instead, he walked along the edge of the stage to take a look around.
This stage was a bit larger and higher than the one in Hang City.
When Gao Yuan reached the front of the stage, he saw that the VIP area was already filling up. But since he was wearing a mask and wasn’t a major celebrity, no one recognized him.
However, as Gao Yuan walked to the center of the stage, he was surprised to see Xiao Xiao in the front row of the VIP section.
Xiao Xiao had told him she was bringing her daughter to the concert, but he hadn’t expected her to be in the front row, right at the center of the stage.
Today, Xiao Xiao was wearing a long down jacket. The black coat completely hid her alluring figure, and she also had on a mask. Gao Yuan could only recognize her because of the unique charm in her eyes and brow that set her apart from everyone else.
He glanced beside Xiao Xiao and saw a little girl, about seven or eight years old, with her hair in a ponytail, sitting quietly on her seat and eating snacks.
Gao Yuan could see traces of Xiao Xiao in the little girl’s face. With a mother that beautiful, it was no surprise the girl already showed the makings of a beauty herself.
Gao Yuan only glanced at them from afar and didn’t go over to say hello.
After all, he still had a thing for the little girl’s mother, and if he went over now, he wouldn’t know what to say.
’Should he say, "Hello, little girl, I’m your mom’s tenant?"’
Continuing along the stage, he hadn’t taken more than a few steps before he saw the young girl from the RV again.
The girl was seated in the very front row, with her two bodyguards in the second row directly behind her.
’The rich really are capricious, bringing bodyguards along to a concert.’
’Though Gao Yuan guessed the girl probably didn’t have to pay for her tickets.’
After walking a full circle around the stage, Gao Yuan returned backstage. He chatted with Jay Chou for a bit before the choreographer ran over and called him away.
The main point was to show him where he would enter, where the backup dancers would be, and where he should stand while singing, just to prevent any accidents.
Once he was familiar with everything, Gao Yuan found a random spot and started playing on his phone.
「An hour later.」
When the choreographer came to tell him to prepare for the stage, Gao Yuan sent a quick message to Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing, then grabbed a microphone and stepped onto the stage lift.
BAM! BAM! BAM...
The lights in the arena went out, and the entire venue erupted into cheers as all the fans began to scream.
"Jay Chou! Jay Chou! Jay Chou!"
...
Amidst the roar of the crowd, the melody of *Her Eyelashes* began to play, and the stage lift slowly ascended.
On stage, a spotlight shone on a pair of young backup dancers. Gao Yuan stood quietly on the stage, waiting for his cue to sing.
The musical cue arrived, and Gao Yuan began to sing.
"My dear, some things just can’t be taught."
"The feeling of confessing to the wrong person is a bit awful."
...
The moment Gao Yuan opened his mouth, the audience was stunned.
’That’s definitely not Jay Chou’s voice!’
’Did I come to the wrong concert?’
Although the song playing on stage was one of Jay Chou’s, many people still checked the tickets in their hands.
Just then, another spotlight hit the stage, and Gao Yuan’s figure was suddenly revealed.
Unfortunately, many people still didn’t recognize him at that moment.
Although his voice was beautiful, easily drawing one into the sweet love expressed by the song, many in the audience hadn’t fully immersed themselves yet.
Gao Yuan sensed the atmosphere below the stage but didn’t feel nervous or rushed at all.
The first half of the song had this kind of rhythm—light and quick, but almost narrative.
「Backstage.」
Jay Chou listened to Gao Yuan’s singing. From a musical standpoint, there was nothing wrong, but he felt the rhythm was slightly off, as if building up to something.
"Her eyelashes, the curve of her lips, smiling at me without warning."
"No premonition, completely unexpected, she was the first to show interest."
...
Sure enough, when Gao Yuan hit the chorus, Jay Chou understood why the beginning had felt like it was holding its breath.
In that instant, even backstage, he couldn’t help but start dancing to the rhythm.
And at that very moment, the entire audience exploded.
Those who had seen Gao Yuan’s singing videos online instantly recognized the person on stage as Gao Yuan.
Gradually, only one voice remained in the entire stadium.
"Gao Yuan! Gao Yuan! Gao Yuan!"
The fans’ cheers didn’t stop, even after Gao Yuan finished the song.
Jay Chou slowly appeared on stage, walked over to Gao Yuan, and shouted to the tens of thousands of fans: "Did you guys like that opening?"
"We loved it! We loved it! We loved it!"
"This format today was just a whim of mine!"
"If anyone wants a refund, please contact Gao Yuan’s GY brand directly!"
Jay Chou’s joke instantly caused the whole stadium to erupt in laughter, while also giving a shout-out to the brand Gao Yuan had built.
"Thank you all for your support!"
"I’m GY-Gao Yuan. And now, I’ll hand the stage over to our idol, Jay Chou."
Gao Yuan bowed to the fans in thanks, then started to leave the stage on the descending lift.
But unexpectedly, at that moment, an accident happened.
