Chapter 259 - You Have to Quit the Entertainment Industry!?
The sound was so ethereal, like a melody from the heavens. As soon as the music began, it immediately transported listeners to a realm of beauty beyond this world.
Chu Wenwen descended gracefully with the music, her perfect image evoking that of a celestial fairy stepping down to earth.
Unseen by all, a man's silhouette lurked behind her. After guiding her to the stage, he tapped the ground lightly and, like a shadow, soared above the stage and vanished without a trace.
At that moment, Chu Wenwen extended her hands, and from her palms, two golden beams of light danced and dispersed as if she were casting spells with nothing but her bare hands.
“Wow, is she a fairy? Could she really be one?”
“That was actual magic, right? It descended from the heavens. Look, she doesn't have anything on her!”
“How could that be? How did she manage it? Was the rope concealed by light and shadow?”
“Nonsense, do you see any rope on the stage? If it was tied around her waist, wouldn't there be a mark? And even if there was a rope, could you make your hands glow like Wenwen's?”
“Exactly, she was welcomed by a dragon and a phoenix. She truly is a celestial being!”
Previously, everyone saw Chu Wenwen's pure and peerless demeanor as akin to a fairy descended from above, but no one truly believed she was an actual fairy. This time, however, countless witnesses were convinced.
Rumors even spread that Chu Wenwen was a heavenly fairy responsible for song and dance, who descended to earth to share her enchanting melodies.
Amidst the commotion, Chu Wenwen gracefully made her way back to the stage. Though the music had ceased and the dazzling lights dimmed, the audience still beheld a vision of a fairy come to life.
“Thank you all for your affection,” Wenwen addressed the crowd warmly. “I too wish I could sing for you endlessly, but time is finite. Today, I can only offer you this much. However, if this concert is deemed a success, I'm confident there will be many more opportunities for us to come together. Let's eagerly anticipate our next encounter!” With a gracious bow, Chu Wenwen conveyed her heartfelt thanks.
“Can it really be considered a success? How can this concert just be ‘considered a success'?” It was a super, super, super success. If this can only be considered a success, then nothing in the world could ever truly be called successful.
These words managed to soothe some of the crowd, instilling hope for future events. It seemed likely that if Chu Wenwen didn't take on any film roles, she would embark on a national tour soon. That alone could outshine all other singers in the industry.
“I also want to take this opportunity to express my gratitude,” Chu Wenwen paused, then continued, “Beyond thanking everyone here, I want to give special thanks to Clear River Village. This isn't just politeness. Clear River Village has nurtured some incredible people. With their help, I've been able to come into the spotlight and, with their support, sing in such a beautiful place...”
“If I had to choose one place to spend the rest of my life, it would undoubtedly be here. I could never grow tired of everything this place offers. The people here are even more beautiful than the scenery. If you want to support me, I encourage you to promote and support Clear River Village!”
Her heartfelt words resonated with everyone there; it was clear Chu Wenwen spoke the truth. Indeed, many in attendance could attest to the villagers' simplicity and honesty. Beyond their modest means, the village's scenery was stunning, and the air was several times fresher than anywhere else.
Descending from backstage, Chu Wenwen caught sight of Zhang Xiaolong, Chen Yaru, Yang Jingjing, and the others. She let out a cheer and rushed over to them.
“Congratulations! After this concert, you could easily be crowned the ‘Queen of Asia'!” Chen Yaru said with a playful smile.
“Asia might not be enough. Any one of your songs from tonight could make you the ‘Queen of the World'. Nobody can hold a candle to you,” Yang Jingjing added, with even more enthusiasm.
“Yaru, Jingjing, you two are always teasing me,” Chu Wenwen said, embracing them joyfully, though her face feigned complaint. “Who wants to be a ‘Queen'? I've realized that with Elegant Dragon Advertising and this concert, my career in entertainment is complete. Even if I had to leave show business tomorrow, I'd do so with a happy heart, and then... I'd come to bother you at Elegant Dragon Advertising!”
“What? You're leaving show business?” someone exclaimed, shocked.
