In a top-floor suite of a four-star hotel in the provincial capital, Jacky, dressed in casual clothes, stood up from the sofa and strode forward to give Suming a hug, then turned to point to the other people in the room and said to Suming with a smile, "This is my planning team. There are too many to introduce individually, you'll get to know them when we work together."
"Hey, Su Sheng!"
"Hello, Mr. Su!"
After greeting everyone in the team, Suming took out a bottle of red wine from behind and handed it to Jacky, "There, don't say I'm not a good friend. This is for you."
As soon as the wine was brought out, the planning team, including Jacky's assistants, were obviously taken aback.
The bottle of red wine was obviously cheap mass-produced wine, not to ntion the label was entirely in Chinese and it lacked a seal, indicating that it had been opened, and the cork even had a small hole.
Although it's the thought that counts in the gift exchange between friends, Jacky is, after all, a gastar, not a beggar. Giving such low-grade wine, and one that had been opened no less, seed like an insult. The team mbers, eting Suming for the first ti and sharing no particular camaraderie, had a few sour expressions, and soone's face darkened into an unfriendly grimace.
Nangong Yan, following behind Suming, blushed furiously, wishing she could crawl into a hole.
She had told Suming before that if he was not going to give a gift, that was fine, but if he did decide to give one, it should at least be sothing decent, especially since Suming didn't care about spending a few thousand dollars more. Contrarily, Suming, in a careless manner, had asserted that it was a man's business, and said she shouldn't worry about it, insisting that the gift had enough weight to it.
Initially, she thought Suming was joking about eting Jacky, not taking it seriously, but now here they were for real, and to her disbelief, Suming actually presented this 'second-hand wine' to Jacky publicly!
Jacky himself was taken aback at first, but then he seed to rember sothing, swiftly uncorked the wine with a 'pop,' and sniffed it, his eyes lighting up with a look of surprised delight.
"Could this be..." Jacky trailed off.
"Of course, it is," Suming laughed.
"Wow, this gift is too generous!" Jacky beckoned an assistant over, handed the bottle over with great care and instructed, "Julia, secure this wine in the safe. No one is allowed to touch it; you're personally responsible for it. Rember to carry it with you when we leave."
Seeing Jacky's serious deanor, the assistant and team mbers were a bit puzzled. Julia nodded, holding the wine close like a child, and headed into the next room.
Jacky let out a long sigh, then said to Suming, "I asked for your help, and you give such a precious gift. How can I accept this!"
"It's nothing, it's just your good luck, and I happened to find so again," Suming replied, sounding as if it were no big deal when, in reality, he felt quite relaxed about it. The Monkey Wine brewed by the Monkey King - he had a few big mineral water bottles of it at ho, drinking it daily like a health supplent. Once winter ca around in a few months, the Monkey King would brew plenty more, effectively making it an unending supply.
But of course, this secret was unknown to the others. In Jacky's eyes, this present was extrely valuable.
"Let's not talk about this now. Regarding the matter we discussed on the phone, I've almost taken care of it. Let's start the eting and finalize the concert details; we shouldn't delay your important business," Suming said.
n's etings are boring. After discussing with the planning team for a while, Nangong Yan couldn't help covering her mouth to stifle a yawn. Jacky noticed and gestured to his assistant, "Julia, why don't you and Miss Nangong take a walk around the shopping district downstairs? You're both beauties; you should find plenty to talk about while shopping together."
The assistant nad Julia was pretty good-looking and tall, but standing next to Nangong Yan, the term 'beauty' probably wouldn't co to mind for her. There had been rumors of sothing between Jacky and this assistant, but that was their personal business, and Suming wasn't interested in ddling. After all, what successful man doesn't have rumors? A man without rumors is either not successful or too cunning, managing to keep everything in perfect balance.
Won's relationships can be strange. Julia and Nangong Yan didn't know each other at all, yet the mont shopping was ntioned, they instantly beca close friends, laughing and leaving the suite arm in arm.
With the floors below housing stores of world-famous brands, where any trinket costs thousands, Suming thought, take it easy, lady, don't spend the equivalent of half the ticket sales from Jacky's concert. He then shot a look at Nangong Yan.
Nangong Yan shot him a glare that seed to say, do I look like soone who hasn't seen the world?
...
At 8:30 in the evening, the provincial capital performance center's stadium was filled with the concert which started as scheduled, and beneath the stage, thousands of fans held glow sticks in their hands and shouted 'Jacky's na loudly!
"Wow, this is my first ti sitting in the front row at a concert! Jacky! Jacky! Jacky!" Nangong Yan, pulling on Suming's sleeve, yelled excitedly, her forehead beading with fine sweat.
She was actually not Jacky's fan, and neither was Suming completely. For people of their age, Jacky was considered an old-tir. But in such a grand scene, with everyone shouting together, the adrenaline of each person surged wildly, and they were infected without realizing it.
"Big sister, calm down a bit!" Suming couldn't help wanting to laugh. The guy on stage had just given Nangong Yan a full set of Hermès a few hours ago; they were acquaintances. Was there really a need to be so excited?
After thousands of calls, a high-pitched wolf howl filled the stadium, and Jacky finally made a grand entrance, kicking off the concert with "Legend of the Hungry Wolf" under the explosive music!
"She turned off the evening lights and her shoulders beca dim;
Sparks intertwined, trapped in the sedint
The heart just wounded, can't stand the changes
"
Just like the title, "Legend of the Hungry Wolf," there was a part in the instruntal interlude of the song that included wolf howls as harmony.
When he finished the lyric "Love is like a hungry wolf, its mouth seems sweet, but if you approach it for fun, its ferocious nature will show," fireworks suddenly shot up around the stage; and in the middle of the stage behind him, an elevating platform slowly rose!
Seven living Grey Wolves, lined up side by side on the platform squatting in a row, appeared before tens of thousands of spectators in the stadium. At the sa ti, they howled towards a microphone in front of them!
The wolf howls in the background music just now weren't synthetic; they were real wolf howls!
"Legend of the Hungry Wolf" actually featured real wolves!
After a brief silence in the venue, the thrilling scene instantly set the crowd on fire!
"She leaned on my shoulder, her breath loud near my ear
High temperature generated, complexions doing damage
While the gentleman plays with fire, the warm smoke cannot be blown away
She adds her lips to mine, forcing to endure
Overwhelming love rushes at , kissing and entangling wildly
Even though it's known that love leaves with no tomorrow"
As Jacky tip-toed, singing and dancing on the stage, those wolves actually followed his steps, revolving around him like backup dancers, matching the music and letting out long howls to the sky!
The audience below nearly went mad, countless glow sticks waving everywhere, the entire stadium was filled with fans' screams, the enthusiasm of the fans almost flipping the roof of the stadium!
