Chapter: 3034
Just as Su Zhiyu began to appreciate Charlie Wade’s hard work, Gu Qiuyi finished her last dress rehearsal. On stage, she sang all the songs for tomorrow night’s concert three times. Luckily, she didn’t have to sing too hard; the main goal of the rehearsal was to go over the performance details, making sure everything from lighting and sound to stage art and live music was set.
After confirming that everything was in order, Gu Qiuyi felt confident about the concert. At that moment, Chen Duoduo walked onto the stage and handed Gu Qiuyi a bottle of water. “Qiuyi, the visual and sound effects are amazing this time! It’s better than any of your previous concerts. Honestly, I’ve never seen such a great live show before!”
Gu Qiuyi smiled and replied, “It’s all thanks to everyone’s hard work.” She added excitedly, “With such fantastic equipment, I’m going to give Brother Charlie Wade an unforgettable birthday!”
Chen Duoduo raised an eyebrow, “You know Brother Charlie Wade, right? Don’t forget that his wife will be at the concert tomorrow night!”
Gu Qiuyi smiled and said, “So what? In my mind, this concert is for Brother Charlie Wade alone. The others are just supporting roles.”
She paused and sighed, “I must say, the lighting and sound equipment that Su Zhifei provided is beyond what I expected. It’s really extravagant to use this for a concert!”
“Absolutely!” Chen Duoduo agreed. “The investment in this alone is more than what we’ll earn from the concert. Unless it’s a huge event like the Olympics, who would spend so much?”
“Why would he invest so much in a commercial performance? He must be doing it to impress you,” said Chen Duoduo.
Then, she had a sudden thought and leaned in closer, saying, “Hey, Qiuyi, did you hear about Su Zhifei’s latest announcement online?”
Gu Qiuyi, curious, asked, “What announcement?”
With a serious tone, Chen Duoduo replied, “He’s gone a bit crazy! He just declared that tomorrow morning, he will travel from Jinling to Jokhang Temple in the southwest. He plans to do a three-step kowtow the entire way! That’s a journey of four thousand kilometers! It’s almost as tough as Tang Seng’s pilgrimage!”
Gu Qiuyi was shocked. “Is he out of his mind? Why would he decide to do something so unusual?”
Chen Duoduo continued, “That’s not even the strangest part. He actually criticized his grandfather and father, saying they were sinful, and claimed this pilgrimage would help cleanse their sins. Can you believe that? Who would do something so reckless?”
“And tomorrow is your concert! After all the effort he put in, wouldn’t he want to be there? If he’s leaving for the Jokhang Temple early tomorrow, he definitely won’t be at your concert tonight.”
Gu Qiuyi found this very puzzling. Even though she didn’t know Su Zhifei well, his actions seemed completely out of character, leaving her surprised.
Feeling curious, she suddenly thought about Charlie Wade. She quickly pulled out her phone and sent him a WeChat message: “Brother Charlie Wade, does this situation with Su Zhifei have anything to do with you?”
Charlie Wade received her message and began to respond.
Gu Qiuyi looked at Charlie with a playful expression and asked, “What do you think?” She sent a smirking emoji and added, “It must be you!”
Charlie Wade laughed and replied, “This guy has gone a bit overboard. After I dropped you off at the stadium today, he asked me to look up my license plate number. He even went to the Emgrand Group to put on a show just to see me. I think I should give him a little punishment.”
Gu Qiuyi frowned and asked, “Why is he checking Charlie Wade’s license plate? Did he see me getting out of your car?”
“That’s probably it,” Charlie said with a grin. “Maybe he has a crush on you and got a bit carried away.”
