I'll even show you crossdressing men.

"Yes, I explained it to her, and she said she would prepare it and told me not to feel guilty." After hanging up the phone, Chu Yan tossed it next to her pillow, lay half-up on the bed with only her legs sticking out.

"Sister, are you ready?" She didn't doubt her sister's abilities, but the time was too short, and she had been unconscious for two days. Could she really do it?

"No problem, just wait for my amazing performance." This was the first time she had spoken so confidently in her own capacity, leaving Chu Yan speechless.

It's rare for my sister to be so confident, and it would be really bad of me to discourage her.

This is my sister's first performance. It would be great if she succeeded, but it wouldn't matter if she failed. With her talent, she'll have plenty of opportunities to continue in the future.

"Sister, are you planning to develop your career in the ACG circle?" She had heard Chu Yan and Li Xinghua's conversation clearly, so she had some understanding of Chu Yan's decision. Asking her now was just to learn more about her sister.

"Well, I don't really like the mainstream fandom. Compared to that, the ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games) fandom is much richer in content. Although it lacks mainstream elements, people within the fandom really enjoy it." Chu Yan didn't deny it. Not many people know this yet, but it won't be long before everyone who does knows finds out.

“Sometimes I wonder if it was really a good thing to guide my sister into this industry. She could have so many more people liking her.” Chu Yan walked over, leaned down beside her, turned her head to look at her profile, and said softly.

“Even if you hadn’t brought me into this circle, I would have entered it sooner or later. I don’t like most popular songs, but for someone like me who loves to sing, ACG is more suitable.” Chu Yan didn’t mind; in fact, she was quite grateful to Chu Yan for introducing her to the ACG circle so early on.

"Hey, sister, I want to ask you a question. Rather than standing at the center of the world, would you be willing to give up everything to spend your life with another person?" The little girl tugged at her hand and asked.

"I don't understand love and romance, so I can't give you an answer. But I do know that my love for singing doesn't depend on the size of the stage, but on how much I enjoy it." Chu Yan didn't understand these things, nor did she want to.

She now understands that understanding love too early can cause her a lot of distress, and instead of getting upset about those things, she should just quietly let nature take its course.

"Okay, I understand." Chu Yan didn't give an answer, but Chu Yan already understood that if that time really came, she would definitely put aside those mundane matters to be with that person.

It was all because of what she said: "I like to sing, not because of the size of the stage, but because of how much I enjoy it."

This answer was enough; it was enough for her to put all those complicated thoughts out of her mind.

"Sister, can I sleep with you tonight?" For the past two nights, after Chu Yan fell asleep, Chu Yan would go to bed and hug her body. She had gotten used to this feeling and wanted to do it again and continue.

"Hmm." There was no way to refuse, nor could there be one; Chu Yan's request was not excessive at all.

"That's great." The girl hugged her waist, buried her head in her chest, and whispered something.

Chu Yan couldn't hear what the girl was saying clearly. Was she perhaps sharing her innermost thoughts? What kind of feelings were hidden in this girl's heart, which was impossible for anyone to understand?

"Everything depends on tomorrow's concert." The night outside was dark, and as it gradually got deeper into the night, the girl's sleepiness grew stronger.

She thought about tomorrow, about her songs, about the stage, about that person and those songs, and finally drifted into a dream.

"I think I should be ready..."

Chapter 141: The Queen

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a traditional festival for celebrating the full moon and beautiful flowers. Many students started going home yesterday to celebrate, while most of the students who stayed behind either lived in provinces or cities thousands of miles away or were even abroad.

Some students don't care about being here; they are either international students who don't celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, or people who don't want to go home.

However, the most unique group was a group of teenagers gathered together, each holding a ticket.

"I'm not going home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, just to see Chu Yan's concert. Whew, it was a sudden surprise, but at least I managed to snag a ticket. Chu Yan is really generous to not charge for her first performance."

"Yes, I specifically told my parents I wouldn't be going back so I could see her concert."

"I feel like you guys are more interested in the person than in her performance."

"Although I don't want to admit it, it's true. Chu Yan doesn't have many works, so people who go to see her are probably just looking for a pretty girl."

"Moreover, she sings mostly ACG songs, so I'm a little worried about the audience. If there aren't even half of the 70,000 audience members, that would be embarrassing."

"Probably not. After all, Chu Yan is very popular, and this concert is free of charge."

"That's not necessarily true. There are quite a few people who only recognize the work, not the person. In their eyes, Chu Lian's songs are heretical, so why would they come to listen?"

"I just hope she's not too upset, otherwise it will be difficult to see her live again in the future."

……

Hearing the surrounding chatter, Su Wan was surprised. How could so many people know about a concert that had only been prepared for three days? Just how much resources had Xinghua Entertainment invested in it?

"I didn't expect you to get through this way. It must have been really tough on you." She hadn't expected that her request would lead them to call the school to recruit people in person, and then Chu Yan would actually decide to hold a concert to clear up the misunderstanding.

Is she overconfident or crazy? Putting aside the question of how good the live performance will be after preparing a concert in such a short time, is she even prepared for it?

Instead of participating in various programs to gain experience, he went straight up on stage for the first time.

Xinghua Entertainment is truly baffling. If Chu Yan is like this, then so be it. But why did they agree to it? It's not like there's only the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday; National Day is just two weeks away. Wouldn't that be even better?

"But is singing your hobby? I'd really love to have you learn the voices of different characters and sing them for me. That would be really great." Su Wan leaned against a tree, looking at the concert tickets in her hand, thinking about some strange things.

"Sister, I like you... I've liked you from the first moment I saw you, so please have pity on me..." — Qiongmei's voice.

“Wan, please use me…” — Qi Mei’s voice.

"You hentai, don't you dare touch me!" — Rie Kugimiya's voice...

Well, if she could really imitate it, it would be an unparalleled feeling. I'm really looking forward to it.

"Do I want you to succeed or fail? You'll find out after the concert." The girl put the ticket back in her pocket, smiled gently, and left.

No student knew that the student council president they revered had been eavesdropping on their conversation and fantasizing about their goddess.

"Sister, we've arrived." The concert runs from 7:00 PM to 10:30 PM, a total of three and a half hours. The girl needs to sing 24 songs to fill these 210 minutes and keep the fans and audience satisfied and entertained.

It's still unknown how many people will come. Xinghua said that all 70,000 tickets have been distributed—but how many people will actually show up after receiving the tickets is an unpredictable matter.

Even so, Li Xinghua still decisively prepared the best equipment and contacted Bilibili's live streaming platform to get the best cable so that the girls' concert could be broadcast simultaneously.

If there were tickets available for purchase, this might be inappropriate, but for a free concert, it's about increasing brand awareness, so there's nothing wrong with it.

Chu Yan was lost in thought when, a moment later, Chu Yan beside her shook her awake and told her about the current situation.

"We've arrived..." It's 5 PM now, and Chu Yan needs to prepare here. She doesn't even have a chance to rehearse! She has to react on the spot.

This is trouble that Chu Yan herself created, and it's also a test of her ability to perform under pressure and her strength. If she does well, everything will be fine; if she doesn't, then things will have to be reconsidered.

"Downtown?" This is the city's largest stadium, frequently used as a venue for various concerts, and the rent is extremely expensive. Of course, with 70,000 seats, it can definitely make a lot of money from ticket sales if it's popular enough.

This time, it will be a stage exclusively for Chu Yan. She will use her 15-year-old body to step onto the stage and try her best to please the audience below, even if she is panting, covered in sweat, or even if she collapses from exhaustion.

This was her choice, and it was also the inevitable process.

"I will...try my best..." Gritting her teeth, she followed Chu Yan and the other staff members into the venue.

Along the way, many people pointed and whispered about her. They didn't expect that the huge mural of the girl hanging outside was not much different from the real person.

At first, they wondered how much Photoshop was used to make such a beautiful photo look like that.

It wasn't until I saw the real person that I was awestruck. Are there really people this beautiful in this world?

These people don't seem to like browsing popular media these days. Chu Yan's news isn't exactly everywhere, but it's at least something that people have heard of.

Ignoring the stares, she walked behind Chu Yan, her posture ramrod straight, like a noble queen walking on a red carpet.

Despite her ethereal and refined temperament, she appeared so arrogant at this moment. This was a declaration of the young girl's confidence, and also a mark of her growth.

When she walked backstage and opened the door, the interior was decorated very luxuriously. Makeup artists were waiting there, and when they saw her walk in, their eyes lit up. This young girl was truly a perfect prospect.

"Male makeup artists, don't touch me. Female makeup artists, you can." She sat on the only chair, looking at herself in the mirror and the makeup artists who were gradually approaching. She immediately began to filter the people who were to be dressed, leaving several female makeup artists looking at each other in bewilderment.

Just as the male makeup artists were about to throw down their stuff and leave in a huff, and the female makeup artists were feeling incredibly awkward, a woman's voice suddenly came from the doorway: "Let me do it."

P.S.: It seems everyone's unhappy with the urban setting, but that's necessary for growth. We'll have to wait a while to return to our original world. I just hope they won't accuse me of poisoning things again then...

Chapter 142: The Refined Woman

"Yes, boss." The speaker was Li Xinghua, the chairman of Xinghua Entertainment. She waved to the people inside, signaling them to leave.

Since the boss had spoken, they couldn't ignore him, so all the staff quickly withdrew, including the makeup artist and everyone else.

Chu Yan stood there, unsure whether to retreat or stay, feeling extremely awkward.

"Xiaoyan, you can stay here, it's alright." She walked over and looked at the stunningly beautiful face reflected in the mirror, a hint of amazement flashing in her eyes.

Although I had learned about this girl from various sources beforehand and had seen her cosplay photos, I still couldn't help but marvel at how such a beautiful person could exist in this world after seeing her in person.

She's seen a lot of the world, and being in the entertainment industry, she's met countless people, many of whom are as beautiful as young girls.

But it is her inherent temperament that makes her truly stand out from the crowd.

"Sister Xinghua, thank you for your trouble." Chu Yan showed no fear or unfamiliarity towards Li Xinghua's arrival and actions. Instead, she spoke to her as if she were talking to someone she had known for a long time.

"It's nothing, it's not a big deal." She reached out and slowly took out various makeup tools in front of her face. Her hand paused before her face, hesitating, as if she didn't know how to depict such a beautiful person.

"Your skin is so good, I don't even know where to begin." While praising her, this twenty-seven-year-old woman, who was still exquisite, was not much less beautiful than her.

Perhaps she can't compare to a young girl in terms of looks alone, but her experience in the harsh realities of society and her life in the upper echelons have given her every move a unique charm.

She perfectly embodies the saying that "a woman's beauty comes first from within, and second from her appearance." Being with her is like representing two different kinds of women.

"Let's draw something more aloof and glamorous. The first song is 'Killer Lady,' so it needs to be more impactful," the girl suggested. Li Xinghua looked at her approvingly and said, "Not bad, that's a good idea."

Since the girl herself had suggested it, Li Xinghua did not object. After thinking about it carefully, he began to slightly modify her appearance.

Chu Yan's skin and facial features are almost perfect, without any flaws, so applying makeup to her is both a very simple and a very difficult task.

The simple thing is that it doesn't need to be complicated; if you choose correctly, it's done in just a few easy steps. However, this very choice is the real problem; how exactly to choose is something probably no one but herself knows.

Watching the two people in front of her talking and doing as they pleased, and seeing Li Xinghua, who seemed completely at ease despite it being their first meeting, and then looking at herself standing there alone, she became even more determined to learn more.

Even if we can't become the next Li Xinghua, we should at least try our best to show everyone that every outstanding older sister has an outstanding younger sister.

She doesn't think she's not good enough; she just hasn't reached a better point yet, like being worthy of her sister.

"Xiaoyan, if you have time, you can try coming to my company and doing some business with me. I think you would be willing, right?" Li Xinghua's voice came while she was lost in her thoughts, which made her pause slightly and then feel happy.

"Yes! I'm willing." Although doing so would mean leaving her sister's side, her sister had already started getting busy, and seeing how independent she was becoming, she knew that simply clinging to her wouldn't be enough.

Since that's the case, why not start improving yourself now? The saying "Only those who work hard will be rewarded" may not be absolute truth, but it's certainly true.

"Xiaoyan, are you planning to study management?" Chu Yan was simply curious about Chu Yan's decision, not caring why Li Xinghua would be willing to train a young girl who wasn't from his own company.

"Yes, I want to study management so I can help my sister with her business in the future. Although I just wanted to simply stay by your side, I later realized that if I don't work hard, others won't recognize my efforts." Chu Yan nodded and shared her thoughts.

"Recognition? Recognition of what?" Chu Yan was slightly taken aback. She couldn't understand what exactly needed to be recognized.

"No." She didn't dare say it aloud, at least not in front of others.

Li Xinghua, on the other hand, seemed to have figured something out, as if she had already thought of something. However, she didn't say anything, as these were matters for the young girl herself, and she wouldn't care.

"Sister, are you confident later?" After waiting for a while, Chu Yan asked after seeing Li Xinghua finish her makeup and step back to stand next to her to observe her carefully.

"Yes." It was the same answer as always. No matter what kind of accident happened, she was determined to keep the concert going.
