Chapter 988: Chapter 998: The Concert Begins (Part 1)
"Actually, there’s another possibility!" Jones thought for a moment and continued, "It’s that Xie Ziqi is simply too popular!"
"Because the tickets were gone on the internet in less than half an hour!"
Luo Susu also nodded; she tried to buy tickets when she went home in the evening, only to find they were already sold out!
"So, before the foreigners even reacted, the tickets were already gone?"
Jones nodded and explained, "Actually, Xie Ziqi has quite a bit of fame abroad!"
"I checked last night; she sang the theme songs for several major blockbuster movies from the United States!"
"You have to know, these movies usually hire superstars, like 007 hiring Adele!"
The three of them chatted while weaving through the crowd.
It took them just over half an hour to cover a road less than one kilometer long and reach the VIP entrance.
The congestion of people here was completely inversely proportional to that of the regular entrance.
Of course, the entrance here was small, but to prevent regular fans from passing through, four strong bodyguards were stationed here.
The three handed their tickets to the ticket inspector and walked directly inside.
Meanwhile, the people moving like ants on the side flashed strong jealousy on their faces?
And there was also curiosity on their faces.
"Who are those three?"
"Especially that Huaxia woman, she’s super pretty, almost rivaling my Bare!"
"That blonde woman is also quite pretty, and I’ve never dated a foreign chick."
"I hear they’re quite open!"
"..."
"Where are you going?" Luo Susu immediately asked as she stopped, watching Lin Xi heading towards the seats.
"I’m obviously going to find a seat to sit down!" Lin Xi replied, "Let’s go, what are you standing here for?"
"Or are you saying you don’t want to go over now?"
Luo Susu and Jones exchanged glances and shook their heads, replying, "You go ahead, we’re off to help backstage!"
"Alright, you go; I’ll wait for you at the seat!" Lin Xi said.
The reason for not going is simple; would he be helping them with makeup or what?
Besides, he wouldn’t know how!
As for other tasks, he shouldn’t be needed.
After all, the venue staff should be able to handle everything.
If he went, he’d only increase the density of people in the dressing room, without any additional benefits.
Arriving at the VIP seats, Lin Xi found the area still quite empty, probably because it was still early, and others hadn’t arrived yet.
However, there were around a dozen seats in the VIP area; who were the others?
If this were back home, it would probably be some of Xie Ziqi’s friends or people using company connections to get in, or perhaps some big shots.
But abroad, who could the people be?
Of course, this was purely idle curiosity, his thoughts just wandering.
Next, he took out his phone, browsing through social media and reading novels to pass the time.
Time seemed to fly by; the VIP seats and regular audience seats started filling up gradually.
He noticed that those arriving at the VIP seats were all successful individuals associated with the showbiz industry, such as CEOs of London film companies or directors of music companies.
There was one rather striking individual.
She had long blonde hair, deep eyes, a lovely face, but her figure wasn’t particularly ideal, she belonged to the curvaceous type but was tall, which still came across quite well.
Such women, many people actually find appealing.
In bed, she’d certainly provide quite an exceptional sensory experience.
As soon as she arrived, almost everyone who saw her stood up surprised, exclaiming.
Even the successful individuals stood up to greet her, and those familiar with her chatted a bit.
"Adele?" Lin Xi was slightly startled in his mind.
Her full name is Adele Adkins, one of the most prominent female singers in the United Kingdom, if not globally.
She has won countless awards, receiving nearly every major accolade effortlessly.
Furthermore, she has a great reputation and character, both within and outside the industry.
"Does Xie Ziqi know her?" As he wondered about this, Adele sat not too far from him.
This person, famous for being hard to invite, rarely attends friends’ concerts.
Lin Xi wasn’t a star idol follower, so after the initial amazement, he acted as though nothing had happened, quietly continued to read his novel.
But he hadn’t even read for a minute when he couldn’t help but curse softly, "Damn!"
The author had abruptly ended the Chapter right at the climax, just when things were about to get exciting, almost like pulling away when I was ready!
According to the author’s announcement, the next Chapter... would at least be available by tomorrow at this time, and it’s only one Chapter per day, which isn’t exactly fast.
Lin Xi thought, as a novelist, you ought to have some professional ethics.
Though not forcing you to update three times a day, at least twice should be necessary.
Two updates are tiring enough, but since you’ve committed, you should give an account to this book and its readers.
He had to find another novel and began reading again.
Nearby, Adele adjusted her seat and slightly observed the surroundings.
She didn’t have much to say about the others, but what was up with the Huaxia youngster engrossed in his phone?
Since she walked over, he barely glanced her way, let alone showed emotions like astonishment, delight, or nervousness.
Could it be he doesn’t know her?
Adele pondered this, as she was often surrounded by fans wherever she went.
She believed hardly anyone wouldn’t recognize her.
Even if they didn’t know her, seeing or hearing the reactions of others would surely incite curiosity and inquiries regarding her identity.
But this young man didn’t show any of that...
As Lin Xi nearly finished his second novel, Luo Susu, Dili Bare, and Jones approached from backstage, sitting next to Lin Xi.
The concert was about to begin.
The three women noticed Adele when they arrived, of course.
But they were calm, a flash of surprise on their faces before they returned to normal.
They liked Adele but weren’t overwhelmed by seeing their idol, let alone rushing over to fawn over her.
Clearly, they didn’t have that mindset.
Once again, Adele was slightly taken aback inside, "Even these three are so composed?"
To be honest, as a guest, it was her first time encountering such calmness at a concert.
There wasn’t much else for her to ponder, and she wouldn’t overthink, being naturally a non-materialistic person.
Suddenly, the dim stage illumination exploded into light, akin to daytime.
The concert was about to start!!!
