Immediately after, Su Zhen felt a blinding white light shine onto him. He subconsciously stopped and covered his eyes while protecting Su Su in his arms.
When Su Zhen looked up, he realized that the people had formed a circle. The crowd stared at Su Zhen as they surrounded him.
“All right, our next contestant is the handsome gentleman with blue hair, holding a little girl in his arms!” The host announced. At the same time, Su Zhen appeared on the screen behind him with a blank expression on his face.
Immediately after, there was a burst of surprise and excited screams from the crowd surrounding Su Zhen.
“Oh? Could it be?” The host was stunned for a moment, and then he became excited as he continued to announce enthusiastically, “It seems that we have a very special person in the crowd. This person is currently the most phenomenal singer, and he is…”
Su Zhen’s sense of artistry was high, and when he sensed a camera pointing in his direction, he immediately became calm and looked at his surroundings indifferently. It was like he wasn’t the same guy running for his life just a moment ago.
“Su Zhen!” The host shouted at the top of his lungs.
Everyone present was surprised. Even if one weren’t a fan, they would have heard at least one of Su Zhen’s popular songs on the radio. When the crowd heard that Su Zhen was amongst them, they all cheered excitedly and loudly.
It wasn’t often that one would meet a celebrity in person, hence why the crowd was so excited.
The host announced, “All right, let’s invite our special guest, Su Zhen, to come up to the stage and complete our challenge!”. After saying that, the host recited a long list of sponsors.
It was rare for the sponsors to have the opportunity to use such a popular figure to promote their products, so they had to take advantage of the situation.
Under the influence of Su Zhen’s fame and the venue’s atmosphere, the people who were a distance away from Su Zhen gradually approached him. Some of them even reached out to touch him.
Su Zhen braced himself and looked around for an empty spot to stand. The safest place was beside the host because no one had gone up the stage.
Su Zhen knew that he was in trouble. He knew that his manager and management team would scold him as soon as they found out.
People in a small shopping mall surrounded a well-known artist carrying a little girl. Su Zhen was embarrassed that he was forced to participate in an advertising campaign.
Su Zhen only pretended to be calm, but he walked onto the stage as if he was ready to die. The host even graciously asked Su Zhen to stand at center stage, not wanting to steal Su Zhen’s spotlight.
Meanwhile, Su Su was still in her fourth brother’s arms. Su Zhen didn’t want to show Su Su’s face to the crowd. He wasn’t afraid of people thinking that Su Su was his illegitimate child. Instead, he was afraid that the overly protective Su Jun would find out.
Su Zhen knew that if his little sister became famous, she would be a victim of cyber-bullying and harassment. If Su Jun found out about this, he would undoubtedly make Su Zhen’s life a living hell.
Once Su Zhen took his place on stage, the host commanded the security personnel to suppress the fans who had run onto the stage. The host also turned up the volume on his mic and announced the rules of the event.
“The contestants are only required to do an impromptu performance and win the judges’ praise. If they can do that, they will win the grand prize of ten thousand yuan! I believe this should be a breeze for the king of the music industry, right, Su Zhen?”
Seeing that the host had already passed over the microphone to him, Su Zhen could only force an awkward smile and nod silently. Su Zhen was nauseous from his activities at the amusement park. He had also used up all of his energy from running.
After all that, Su Zhen was asked to sing. In his current condition, he might sound like a toad. But Su Zhen couldn’t taint his reputation now. Since he had already stood at the center of the stage, he had to perform like a true artist.
Otherwise, he would be ridiculed and slandered for the rest of his life. Su Zhen felt that this might be the last public performance of his career as a singer..
