Chapter: 2993
Su Zhiyu spotted her brother, Su Zhifei, from a distance and quickly turned to the side, hoping he wouldn’t see her. She watched him about twenty or thirty meters away, acting charming and flattering in front of Chen Duoduo. A wave of discomfort washed over her as she observed her brother’s behavior.
She thought about how the men in the Su family always seemed to have a strong agenda. Take their father, for example. Even after two daughters nearly lost their lives because of their grandfather, he still went back to play the role of a dutiful son whenever needed. To him, family ties seemed less important than gaining the position of heir to the Su family.
Su Zhiyu felt the same way about her brother. Just a few days ago, he had aligned himself with their grandfather after both their mother and sister were harmed by him. This showed that his desire for power mirrored their father’s.
It was the same with Gu Qiuyi. Despite the chaos at home, Su Zhifei remained focused on winning Gu Qiuyi’s heart. He made sure to be there to greet her team when they arrived at the airport, showing just how eager he was to impress.
Su Zhifei had come to pick up Chen Duoduo and her group early in the morning, trying to win favor with those around Gu Qiuyi. He believed that if he appeared helpful and kind, they would speak positively about him to her. To him, many women seemed strong-willed, but in reality, they lacked true assertiveness and determination.
Many girls may not like a man at first. However, when their friends keep talking positively about him and encouraging her, her feelings can slowly change.
Some boys take advantage of this idea to win a girl’s heart, especially when other approaches don’t work. There are many examples of this happening successfully.
That’s why Su Zhifei went to the airport to greet Chen Duoduo and the other members of Gu Qiuyi’s team. He wanted to impress Gu Qiuyi and had been staying in Jinling to support her team.
During this time, he quietly upgraded the equipment for Gu Qiuyi’s concert at his own expense. The concert’s original setup was already top-notch, with costs that were nearly equal to the potential earnings. This level of equipment is among the best in the world, even surpassing what famous stars like Michael Jackson and Beyoncé would use.
Su Zhifei wanted Gu Qiuyi to see how much he cared for her. So, he decided to invest in the best sound, lighting, and stage design for her concert, using the same quality as the Olympic opening ceremony.
Shipping this high-end equipment from overseas alone cost millions. When you add in the leasing and setup fees, the total expense exceeded 30 million. For context, most concerts typically cost only tens of thousands, with ticket prices ranging from one thousand to two thousand yuan. If you consider an average ticket price of one thousand yuan for tens of thousands of attendees, the expenses for this concert were extraordinary.
The total box office revenue is just a few million dollars. For any team, spending 30 million on on-site equipment is not realistic. Even if they sell all the concert tickets, they would still lose at least 15 million. But Su Zhifei doesn’t mind.
