CEO's Sweetheart is a Super Idol

Chapter 259 - 252: Success Is Not Easy

Xiao Li sent her QR code over.

She quickly received a payment notification and immediately transferred the money to her bank account.

Then she blocked the person.

As expected, that person, upon realizing they’d been blocked, tried to talk to her privately in the original group chat.

"You’re a scammer, refund the money. I know where you are, if you..."

Xiao Li completely ignored it and directly exited the original group chat.

These kinds of scammers are usually abroad and wouldn’t dare come to find her.

If they did, it would be better; she could report them to the authorities, and they’d likely spend the rest of their lives in prison.

Xiao Li looked at the extra 3888 yuan in her bank account, feeling very pleased.

This was the most money she’d made this year, yet she still didn’t have tickets to Lan Yening’s musical.

Thinking about this made Xiao Li uneasy and uncomfortable.

She pondered for a bit and tried adding the account "Glorious Life" with one of her other accounts.

"It’s Xiao Li, this is my other account."

Xiao Li didn’t write much more, knowing it was useless to say too much.

Tik! Tik!

Unexpectedly, the other person did add her.

Su Xiaoya was a bit puzzled at this moment, wondering why this person added her.

She usually didn’t add strangers, but last time Xiao Li worked hard against the anti-fans of Lan Yening, so she added her.

"Hello, sis"

"Hello"

"Sis, the thing is, I want to attend Xiao Ning’s concert, but I can’t get tickets now. Do you happen to have extra tickets?"

Xiao Li got straight to the point without unnecessary words.

Su Xiaoya couldn’t help but chuckle; she wasn’t a scalper, but somehow the tickets were sought from her. However, she did have extra tickets.

Su Xiaoya, using her fan club leader status, got a few insider tickets, originally meant for her relatives.

In reality, unless it’s a huge star, concerts usually don’t sell out; the shortage is mostly artificial by the investors.

To encourage real fans to spend, they create a ticket shortage and then sell them at high prices as if they were from scalpers.

So, typically idol tickets are just to make money off real fans; otherwise, why would passersby buy tickets to listen to songs and performances they consider "inferior"?

"Do you need just one ticket for yourself?"

"Yes, if you have one, I can pay more, sis."

"Alright, are you free tomorrow?"

Su Xiaoya thought for a moment and decided to give her a ticket.

"I am, sis!"

"Then meet me at the Green Island Cafe on New Bend Road at noon tomorrow."

Xiao Road saw the address sent over and hesitated; she didn’t dare go there because it was too expensive.

"Okay, sis, I’ll definitely be there."

But thinking of her own dear Brother, Xiao Li gritted her teeth and agreed.

Su Xiaoya took a sip of the Blue Cat Coffee beside her, casually opened Lan Yening’s Weibo. Xiao Li’s matter was nothing significant to her.

"Is Xiao Ning’s new song being released soon!" She was filled with excitement seeing the official announcement.

Su Xiaoya was a dedicated career fan of Lan Yening, thrilled to see her dear brother succeed.

Many were offering blessings on Weibo, but there were some sarcastic comments as well.

Currently, Lan Yening was somewhat known in the industry, probably at a fourth-tier level.

Su Xiaoya clicked on his latest selfie post, eyes filled with infatuation at the pure and dawn-like beautiful Lan Yening in the picture.

Meanwhile, the beloved brother, Lan Yening, whom Su Xiaoya was thinking about, was sweating and parting ways with Tong Jie.

Zhang Shuya handed each of them a glass of whiskey with ice.

"Xiao Tong, you were really wild just now," laughed Zhang Shuya in her silk nightgown.

"Xiao Ning is really getting stronger, more so than before," Tong Jie said, sitting cross-legged on a thick carpet, casually picking up a comb to tidy her hair.

Lan Yening chuckled as he drank, then stood up and sat on the sofa.

These two wolf-like women played with no restraint.

To keep themselves going, they even drank a mixture of black-boned chicken and turtle blood beforehand.

"Xiao Ning, the musical’s public performance is the day after tomorrow. You must perform well."

Tong Jie had great confidence in Lan Yening; his talent was exceptional.

"Yes! Thanks also to Sister Tong for inviting Mr. Zhu Ran to support!"

Tong Jie’s smile was like a blooming flower: "Zhu Ran is also an old friend of mine. Back when he had his solo piano concert at the Central Theatre, I paved the way with the old principal."

Zhang Shuya knew exactly what "paving the way" meant, and she knew what kind of person the old principal Tong Jie referred to was.

He was indeed a leading figure in Huaxia’s classical music but also loved to communicate deeply with aspiring female musicians.

Zhu Ran was a disciple of another Huaxia pianist, who once supported Tong Jie. So naturally, when Zhu Ran sent the money, Zhang Shuya had to contribute to helping.

"Xiao Ning, do you know why Tong Jie spared no expense in inviting Mr. Zhu for you?"

Lan Yening paused, thinking it was merely to boost his reputation.

"Mr. Zhu Ran is also a music editor at Broadway in the USA. He has already recommended this musical over there. If it goes well, you might perform a few shows there."

Upon hearing Zhang Shuya’s words, Lan Yening suddenly realized. No wonder the former gifted Zhu a whole house last time; the cost had surprised Lan Yening.

Editors in the USA have a vastly different role than those in Huaxia, wielding considerable influence over performances.

If Zhu Ran truly made an effort for him, the chances were very high.

Although the USA’s cultural influence wasn’t what it used to be, performing on the world-famous Broadway stage was still very prestigious.

"Thank you, Sister Tong, you’re truly like a good sister to me." Lan Yening immediately crawled over like a kitten to cuddle in Tong Jie’s arms, making her laugh heartily.

"Shu Ya, you’ve handled the money, but Old Zhu will need something more."

"Don’t worry! I’ve arranged for a few new idols from the company to accompany him, ensuring he has a good time. Those young girls are eager to meet such big names in music!"

"Hehe, that’s good. Old Zhu is very meticulous in both work and play and won’t leave them empty-handed. He’ll give them some perks later on."

The two good friends, sisters, exchanged a glance and smiled, pleased with this cooperative affair.

"Xiao Ning, with Tong Jie helping you, you have to give it your all today!"

"Haha! Today, I will fulfill all of Tong Jie’s wishes."

Lan Yening was quite used to this kind of exchange.

Just then, his phone suddenly rang.

It was a call from Lu Tianxiang when he picked it up.

"Brother Lu, what’s up?" Lan Yening still answered the call.

He had already informed him about today’s "hosting" duties, but he still called, suggesting it must be important.

"Xiao Ning, prepare yourself tomorrow morning. I’ll pick you up at 9; Director Zheng has a role you can cameo in." Lu Tianxiang’s voice sounded a bit heavy.

"Alright, thanks, Brother Lu!"

"Xiao Ning, take care of yourself, and you need to be in good spirits tomorrow."

"Okay, Brother Lu, no problem."

Lan Yening replied nonchalantly, not wanting to talk much.

Zhang Shuya heard it was a call from Lu Tianxiang and had a subtle smile on her lips.
