Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This explosive start instantly elevated the atmosphere of the gala.
Although the dance had its flaws, considering everyone was an ordinary employee, performing to this level was already very commendable.
Moreover, what people really cared about wasn’t how impressive your dance skills were. They would be satisfied as long as your legs were long enough.
Lin Yi nodded secretly. Yan Ci was indeed capable.
After the opening dance ended, the many sets of fair thighs left the stage.
A male celebrity came up next, instantly igniting the enthusiasm of all the female colleagues.
There were even people who stood up and shouted. The situation went a little out of control.
“Brother Lin, your company’s female employees are no good either. Why do they look like they’ve gone crazy after seeing a young hunk?” Gao Zongyuan said.
“Ultimately, this is a big company. This is too embarrassing.”
Lin Yi pointed at He Yuanyuan in the front row.
“If you have the time, you should pay more attention to your lady.”
Gao Zongyuan looked over and realized that He Yuanyuan was screaming the loudest.
If Ji Qingyan had not stopped her, she would have rushed forward.
Gao Zongyi covered his face. “I’ll pretend I didn’t say anything.”
Apart from the performances, many small games were planned, mostly involving interactions between the two companies, which felt neither awkward nor out of place. Instead, they felt very harmonious.
The gala moved along quickly, without too much frivolous content, making it an event without a dull moment. Coupled with the many celebrities, the quality of the event could be said to be very high.
In the second half of the performance, two hosts from Chaoyang Group went on stage, picked up the microphones, and spoke to the audience below.
“Now, let’s welcome Madam Tang Xiaoxiao to sing the song ‘Starry Sky’.”
After the announcement, warm applause sounded from below the stage.
At this point, Tang Xiaoxiao was the most popular celebrity in the country. The song “Starry Sky” she wrote was extremely popular on various major media platforms.
Even those who did not usually chase after celebrities could hum along to the tune.
Many of the people present had been eagerly waiting for her to appear.
After the warm applause, Tang Xiaoxiao walked to the center of the stage in a white dress.
The cheers and applause that had just subsided became enthusiastic again after she appeared.
Tang Xiaoxiao looked at the people below with a smile. She did not expect the crowd to be so enthusiastic that it would even stir her emotions.
The applause below the stage lasted for a long time. Tang Xiaoxiao was not in a hurry to perform. She looked at the audience below and smiled as she greeted them.
Tang Xiaoxiao was surprised to see the man who snatched her glutinous rice cake sitting below the stage.
‘As expected, he’s an employee of these two companies!’ Tang Xiaoxiao thought to herself.
Damn it, she really wanted to beat him up.
The applause lasted for about half a minute before it gradually subsided.
Tang Xiaoxiao picked up the microphone and said to the people present,
“I’m very happy to have the chance to attend the annual meeting of Lingyun Group and Chaoyang Group. Next, 1’11 bring ‘Starry Sky’ to everyone. At the same time, 1 wish the two companies better growth and fortune in the future.”
Scenes like this were etched in Tang Xiaoxiao’s memory. Once pleasantries were exchanged, she would leave a good impression on the hosts, fostering the possibility of future collaborations.
Applause rose again, but as the intro music started, everyone quieted down, ready to listen to Tang Xiaoxiao sing.
“Brother Lin, this girl is not bad,” Gao Zongyuan commented.
“With her size, she’s at most an A-cup. She’s really not my cup of tea. You can keep her for Old Liang and ask him if he wants her.”
“Old Liang has never rejected anyone. Moreover, a female celebrity like her suits his taste.”
“I’ve known him for more than two years. I feel like he’s slept with all the female celebrities in the entertainment industry.”
“Old Liang slept with the third and sixth female celebrities that performed earlier.”
“That’s f*cking awesome.”
The two of them laughed and bantered for a while before listening to the music.
However, Lin Yi quickly realized that this woman’s voice was getting more and more familiar.
It seemed to be the woman who had wanted to buy glutinous rice cakes just now.
Moreover, their figures were very similar. It couldn’t be such a coincidence, right?
Soon, Tang Xiaoxiao finished singing one song.
There was another round of applause from the audience.
“One more song!”
“One more song!”
“One more song!”
Hearing the cheers below the stage, Tang Xiaoxiao’s mood peaked. The energy these people fed her felt even more enthusiastic than some of her fans.
Subconsciously, Tang Xiaoxiao’s gaze landed on Lin Yi.
He realized that the other party was not looking at her at all. Instead, he had fallen asleep with his head resting on his hand.
She was singing on stage, but he was actually sleeping!
This was too disrespectful!
Tang Xiaoxiao felt like she had been slapped in the face.
“What are you doing? Why are you still in a daze?!”
Her manager spoke through her earpiece.
Only then did Tang Xiaoxiao realize that she had lost her composure.
According to the contract, she was to sing two songs today, and she was preparing to perform the second one.
Holding the microphone, Tang Xiaoxiao was about to start singing when she suddenly got an idea, and she spoke to the audience below,
“I originally was supposed to just sing a song, but today is a happy day. I want to invite a fan to come up and sing with me.”
Seeing Tang Xiaoxiao take the initiative to make such a request, the people below the stage were both excited and surprised. It would be quite exciting if they got the chance to be on the same stage as this celebrity.
Everyone was looking forward to it, hoping that Tang Xiaoxiao would choose them.
A few minutes later, everyone heard Tang Xiaoxiao say,
“The boy in the black jacket in the fifth row.”
The employees of both groups turned to look at the fifth row.
Surprisingly, Lin Yi was the only one wearing a black jacket.
This time, no one said anything. She had chosen President Lin. They had to be honest with themselves.
Although Lin Yi was still asleep, Tang Xiaoxiao was not embarrassed at all.
When he came back just now, he had told his companion that he was tone deaf and had no talent for dancing.
When he got on stage later, the two of them would sing a duet. The outcome would be obvious. He would definitely become the company’s laughing stock!
‘Don’t think that I can’t beat you. I also have a way to take revenge. Hmph!’
“Did this woman do it on purpose? The two of them are sleeping there. How could they be chosen?” He Yuanyuan said.
“Maybe it’s because our Lin Yi is too eye-catching, which is why she chose him,” Ji Qingyan said with a smile.
“Sigh, I don’t like what you’re saying. My Old Gao isn’t bad either.”
“He’s not bad, but it’s not as good-looking as my Lin Yi,” Ji Qingyan said smugly.
“President Lin.”
A male employee beside him touched Lin Yi gently.
Lin Yi was sleeping soundly as he rubbed his eyes.
“What’s wrong? Is it over?”
“It’s not over yet. Tang Xiaoxiao has chosen you. Go on stage and sing with her.”
Lin Yi yawned, tears welling up in his eyes.
Looking at Tang Xiaoxiao on the stage, Lin Yi muttered.
“I don’t even know who she is or what she’s singing..”
