Chapter 117 105: Wings

"Concert?" Tang Xin's eyes widened."Your company is just a shell, how did you get a concert? Where is it being held? If you keep playing around like this, I'll get angry."

"I'm really not lying to you, look?"

Xu Xiaoyou turned the curtain over and pointed to a popped-up picture.

It was a park, with dozens of lights converging on the very center of a vast stage.

"You bought the concert rights there?"

It's known that Marlene once dazzled on that stage. After the woman became famous, every night, major media companies would fight tooth and nail for the performance rights at Empress Park Square, once auctioning for as high as ten thousand inspirations!

After all, there's only that one stage. Even if the final performance is not ideal, the lingering glow of predecessors is enough to overshadow it, the star effect is there, enough to add a thick and colorful stroke to an artist's career.

Performing on that stage is already something countless people dream of.

Just thinking about being able to follow that dazzling figure, trace her footsteps, step on the same floor she treaded, under the same spotlights, and showcase oneself on the large stage made Tang Xin's heart swell with emotions.

Happy, excited? Of course, who doesn't want to be closer to their idol?

But more than that, it's nerves, right? Never mind if the other side is lying, is she really worth such investment from the other person?

What if she doesn't perform well on stage, embarrasses herself, and lets the other party down?

Tang Xin began to overthink.

Finally, she shook her head: "Wait, where did you get that kind of money?"

"I told you, I would pour all my resources into you," Xu Xiaoyou calmly said.

"This is equally a big gamble, I've sold off all my assets."

Listening to these ambiguous words, Tang Xin's mind got a little messy, did the other side really value her this much?

The other side trusts her so much, and yet she's so insecure...

A strong sense of guilt rose within her.

Seeing the girl's appearance, Xu Xiaoyou, fearing the other might figure something out, hurriedly added fuel to the fire, continuing:

"Because this is also my dream, to be honest, my past life has always been at a low ebb, living muddleheaded daily, indifferent to my circumstances. Occasionally, when I came to my senses, I would just peek at the sky from the gaps between the leaves, imagining the scene at the summit."

"At that time, I lacked the courage to face death unflinchingly, the mountain ahead was too high, climbing step by step upwards, and if I fell from halfway up, I'd be shattered."

"But now, I've figured it out, I'm not content with this. I need feathers and wings, and a gust of wind will carry me to the high skies, wings that will take me higher than the peak I once looked up to."

Speaking to the depth of her emotions, Xu Xiaoyou's expression became vivid:

"For these wings, for my dream, I can invest everything."

"You..." Tang Xin blinked, "Are you trying to manipulate me?"

Xu Xiaoyou's face stiffened, turning over to cover herself with the tattered small quilt.

"If you say so, then it is."

"Okay, okay, I understand now."

Tang Xin shook Xu Xiaoyou's shoulders.

Xu Xiaoyou rose with a chuckle:

"I knew you'd understand me."

"Before the first performance, there are a few things I need to confirm with you," Xu Xiaoyou said.

She browsed through Tang Xin's social accounts, roughly scanning the girl's hundreds of daily videos from the past three years.

"I need to know how good you are at singing, it seems like you didn't really open your mouth much in those videos."

"Hmm..." Tang Xin thought for a moment, then said, "Then let me try."

She got up, stood in front of the window, her long blue hair like silver light draped down, her cape dress swayed with the wind, the white skirt fabric fluttered like a blooming bashful flower bud.

Taking two deep breaths, Tang Xin's demeanor became solemn as if she were about to step into a sacred hall.

Xu Xiaoyou also became serious.

Whenever the girl entered a certain state, she would show that kind of expression, right now the girl's expression was exactly like what she saw in the video!

Could it be the other is actually a genius in this aspect?

Tang Xin's hand gently covered her chest, her eyes lowered, tiptoed lightly, displaying a serene smile: "Then I'll start."

"Twinkle↑ Twinkle↓ bright~ Gold-gold, the sky is full of little stars!"

"Pfft!" Xu Xiaoyou nearly spat out blood.

"What's wrong?" Tang Xin was startled by Xu Xiaoyou's sudden action.

"It's nothing, from childhood to now, hasn't anyone ever told you that your singing is actually..."

"Not bad?" Tang Xin's eyes lit slightly.

"Like a fake person," Xu Xiaoyou sincerely evaluated.

Tang Xin: "..."

This was already Xu Xiaoyou's relatively euphemistic evaluation; she really couldn't think of a word to describe such out of tune, distorted, bizarre, mind-bending singing. Someone's singing could be this bad, and calling her tone deaf would be a compliment; pitch, rhythm, and vocalization were all terrible.

Honestly, she felt like the Heart of Desire had come, opened its bloody mouth, and whispered a few singing words in her ear that sounded better than Tang Xin.

Seeing her stance, she thought she was about to deliver some great worldly piece, but after waiting for a long time, this was what she got.

"Tang Sound Mistake, truly deserving of the name," Xu Xiaoyou lamented.

Tang Xin lowered her head in some shame: "I actually know my singing isn't very pleasant. Back in the foster home, peers and nursery teachers mentioned it."

"So up till now, I can only sing some nursery rhymes, and I just hum to the tune I wrote myself."

In Xu Xiaoyou's hand appeared Tang Xin's character card, she roughly glanced at the panel.
