Chapter 1290 — The Plan Falls Through

"Manager Wang, let's not beat around the bush. We both know what's going on with Xu Shilan — whether she left the stage because of a stage malfunction or because of her own problems. I only want to ask you: do you want the concert to continue? If you do, then you had best agree to Young Master Bing's request. I have the medicine on me that can put an immediate end to Miss Xu Shilan's headache!" said Su Jiaonang.
"President Su, I'm sorry, but I've already told you your information is wrong. Why won't you believe me? The stage has been repaired, and Xiaohan is back onstage performing. If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself!" Sister Wang laughed. "President Su, I think all this is plain as day to you, and I have no reason to lie to you — isn't that so?"
"This..." Su Jiaonang was momentarily stunned by Sister Wang's words. But he had indeed heard singing rise again in the gymnasium; at first he had assumed they were simply playing songs for the audience, yet on listening closely, there seemed to be the sound of Xu Shilan speaking?
Could his judgment have been wrong? Perhaps Xu Shilan had not left the stage because of a headache, but because the stage really had malfunctioned?
Half-believing, he hung up and went back upstairs to the concert. There he saw Xu Shilan standing onstage in perfect condition, singing and dancing, in extraordinarily high spirits, with not the slightest sign of a headache. This left Su Jiaonang utterly depressed.
It was just as Sister Wang had said: there was nothing wrong with Xu Shilan at all, and he had misjudged. Su Jiaonang sighed. He had boasted so boldly to Young Master Bing earlier, and now that the problem had come, how was he to explain himself to Young Master Bing?
After climax following climax, the concert finally ended amid a tide of fervent cheers. Though the fans were still longing for more, all good things must end. After singing her final song, Xu Shilan bowed to everyone and said, "Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend my concert. Thank you! Although there was a small mishap along the way today, the final result was still very smooth!"
"Xu Shilan! Xu Shilan! Xu Shilan!"
"We can't bear to see you go!"
"Xu Shilan, we love you!"
The calls from the audience rose and fell in waves. Xu Shilan's eyes grew a little moist: "Thank you all, truly, thank you! But you've all been here for more than four hours and must be tired, and I'm tired too. I hope we'll have the chance to meet again next time! The date of the next concert is not yet decided — everything will depend on the announcement on the company's official website..."
The stage slowly descended. Xu Shilan waved to everyone, reluctant to part.
Wei Zhao watched the girl's expression, unable to tell whether she truly could not bear to leave or was merely putting on a show.
Together with Gu Mengyao, Shen Yushu, Tang Zhi, and Feng Xiaoxiao, he left the gymnasium and got into the car in the parking lot. Wei Zhao did not immediately dial Xu Shilan's number, because after leaving the stage she would have to remove her makeup and change clothes, which would take a while, so he decided to wait before calling her.
