A large portion of the front-row concert tickets were actually given to influential figures to show support.
Lu Zelei immediately agreed to Nangong Shanshan's suggestion.
"It's great that you think that way. I'll personally message Miss Tang later and have the tickets delivered to her. It would be even better if she could bring Manager Yan from Xianfu Group along."
"I was wrong before. I won't lose my temper at you anymore. Let's have our child and live a good life," Nangong Shanshan said.
These words struck a chord with Lu Zelei; it was what he had always longed for.
"Even though Xinda's collapse caused you heavy losses, don't worry. I'll earn well so that you and our child won't suffer."
And so, Nangong Shanshan and Lu Zelei reconciled.
At Xianfu Group, Tang Xiaomin received two concert tickets sent by Lu Zelei and fell into thought.
Lu Zelei was adept at navigating the entertainment industry and creating buzz for himself.
It wasn't without reason that he became popular.
She had only given him a small opportunity back then, and he had managed to get Nangong Shanshan pregnant. Now, it seemed he was poised for success through his child, on the fast track to prosperity.
It was common for people in the entertainment industry to support each other, and giving away tickets was also commonplace.
However, for some reason, Tang Xiaomin felt uneasy, especially considering the current relationship between Lu Zelei and Nangong Shanshan.
In her previous life, Nangong Shanshan had used too many tricks and caused her immense suffering.
What was destined to happen would happen.
Lu Zelei had given her two tickets, and Tang Xiaomin thought of Pan Jie, whom she had forgotten.
Back home, Pan Jie sat on the living room sofa with her legs curled up, constantly changing channels with the remote. Her expression was as mournful as a bride abandoned by her groom on their wedding night.
"Pan Jie, watching TV?" Tang Xiaomin said with a playful smile.
Pan Jie sighed.
"You're not keeping me company, and I'm not watching TV. What else can I do?"
President Pan had only one sister, Pan Jie, and treated her exceptionally well. She didn't lack money and was simply enjoying life.
Unlike Tang Xiaomin, who was studying and working part-time, her schedule was tight.
Tang Xiaomin placed the two concert tickets in front of Pan Jie.
"Look, what is this?"
Pan Jie's eyes lit up.
"Lu Zelei's concert tickets, and two of them! Could it be..."
"That's right. We'll go together tomorrow night."
Pan Jie suddenly said cautiously, "You promise, no backing out now."
"Why would I back out? If I do, I'm a dog."
"That's more like it."
...
The next day, when Tang Xiaomin went to school, she invited Qian Lili and Shu Ya to the concert. She generously gave them each a front-row ticket she had obtained.
"Ever since Lu Zelei got involved with Nangong Shanshan and even had a child, I've unfollowed him."
"Yes, when your idol has a child, your fantasies are shattered. There's no point in going if it's like that. Better not to go," Shu Ya also said.
Lin Keke was quite happy, "I'll do a live broadcast from the venue. The viewership will surely be high. Thanks, Xiaomin."
Tang Xiaomin didn't insist.
"I've gotten the tickets, so don't say I wasn't a good friend and didn't bring you along."
"Keke, let's go."
Qian Lili and Shu Ya exchanged glances, then looked at the front-row concert tickets in their hands. It was Tang Xiaomin's gesture, after all.
"Uh... since Xiaomin has gotten the tickets, there's no reason not to go. We're going, we must go."
"Exactly, let's go."
...
And so, Tang Xiaomin, along with Shu Ya, Qian Lili, Lin Keke, and Pan Jie, a total of five people, went to the concert together.
Outside the stadium, from the morning onwards, many small vendors were selling various glow sticks.
"Are you ladies going to the concert together? Would you like to see Lu Zelei's signature t-shirts? They're selling well, only twenty yuan each, very cheap!"
Shu Ya and the others shook their heads, showing no interest.
After all, they were all children of wealthy families and had never worn clothes that cost twenty yuan in their lives.
Tang Xiaomin waved her hand. "Boss, give us five of those."
"And those headbands that look like two bull horns, get five of those too, and the face stickers, all of them..."
"There are only four red headbands left. How about a pink one?"
"Fine."
Tang Xiaomin not only bought red t-shirts but also a pile of other random items.
"Hurry and change. This is how you get into the concert atmosphere. Are we here to listen to music? No, we're here to feel the live atmosphere."
Led by Tang Xiaomin, Shu Ya and the others also put on headbands, applied face stickers, and other accessories.
At first glance, they truly looked the part.
Pan Jie giggled and twirled around.
"Xiaomin, do I look good like this?"
Pan Jie was a supermodel, with an outstanding figure, appearance, and temperament.
Especially when she smiled, with two dimples on her fair cheeks, she looked like an angel.
Tang Xiaomin gave her a thumbs-up.
"Beautiful, incredibly beautiful. Let's go."
The group of five walked into the concert in line. It had to be said that the front-row treatment was excellent, with a separate entrance, allowing them to get in smoothly.
When the time came, Lu Zelei appeared on stage, slowly emerging from a lifting platform. The venue erupted in thunderous cheers.
The atmosphere instantly reached its peak.
The concert lasted for over two hours, and everything went smoothly.
Until the end, when it was announced that those holding front-row tickets could go backstage to take photos with Lu Zelei.
Thus, Tang Xiaomin and the others, guided by staff, joined the queue to go backstage.
This time, the entire group consisted of only about a hundred people.
There was a rule for taking photos with Lu Zelei: only one person could enter at a time. Once they finished, the next person would go in.
Therefore, those waiting outside had no idea what was happening inside until the people in front of them finished their photos.
When it was Tang Xiaomin's turn, the staff asked her to hand over her phone according to the rules and undergo a body search to ensure she had no sharp objects before she could enter. Security measures were very strict.
Everyone else handed over their phones, so Tang Xiaomin didn't say much. She didn't really want to come, but Lin Keke insisted, so the four of them accompanied her.
Passing through a door, Tang Xiaomin entered. However, Lu Zelei was not inside, only a photographer responsible for taking pictures.
The photographer said, "Lu Zelei went to the restroom. Please wait in the lounge over there. He'll likely be a while."
Nature calls, it was understandable.
Seeing that Tang Xiaomin wasn't moving, the photographer kindly said, "You must be tired from standing for over two hours outside. Lu Zelei's restroom break is quite long, so it would be better for you to go in and rest."
