Chapter 13 Perfect Match
Chu Ze wanted to laugh, he really wanted to laugh.

Why are there still people rushing to be someone's grandson?

"Let's go, son." Chu Ze patted Cheng Ran's shoulder.

"Let's go, nephew." Lu Zihao also came over and patted Cheng Ran on the shoulder.

I am so touched that he tries every possible way to help his roommate improve his status.

I'm the first one to disagree that you are not among the top ten people who moved China this year.

Cheng Ran looked like a dog had recognized him as his son, which was more painful than eating shit.

You end up losing the rice instead of the chicken. The process was obviously going smoothly, so why is the result wrong?
What's the train of thought of Chu Ze's father? He is just like Chu Ze, he is worthy of being his biological son.

……

In the locker room backstage at the gymnasium, Xia Anruo was putting on makeup when her assistant Xu Min hurried in with her cell phone.

"Sister An Ruo, you are on the trending search again."

Xia Anruo couldn't move because she was putting on makeup, so she glanced at Xu Min's phone screen.

"New song from An Ruo's concert!"

"An Ruo's concert will be broadcast live in its entirety."

Both titles made it into the top ten trending searches.

After taking a look, Xia Anruo just hummed and didn't react much.

"Sister An Ruo, why don't you react?" Xu Min asked curiously.

"What reaction do I want? Jump up with excitement?" Xia Anruo replied in a flat tone.

"No, aren't you in a hurry?"

"What's the rush?"

"Sister An Ruo, you are already being scolded a lot, and now you are on the hot search, won't you be used as a target?" Xu Min now feels like the eunuch is anxious even though the emperor is not.

"I don't know who has such a bad heart. It's not easy to get fewer people scolding you these days, but now they're pushing up the heat. Aren't they trying to torture you to death, Sister An Ruo?"

"It was Sister Liao who did it." Xia Anruo explained.

"Ah? Sister Liao betrayed us?" Xu Min was shocked.

"..."

"I asked Sister Liao to do this." Xia Anruo explained again.

"Sister An Ruo, you have also betrayed me?" Xu Min was shocked again.

Xia Anruo: “???”

I betrayed myself?

Why did His Majesty rebel?

"What I want now is to get as much popularity as possible. As long as this concert is successful, it will not only completely reverse the public opinion, but it may also help my popularity rise to a higher level." Xia Anruo suppressed the urge to punch the assistant and said patiently.

Xu Min scratched his head and nodded, not quite understanding.

At this time, Cheng Ran, who had already entered the venue, was browsing his phone in the VIP seat. He opened Weibo as usual and happened to see two headlines about An Ruo's concert in the top ten hot searches.

"My An Ruo is so awesome. She had a concert and it immediately became one of the hot searches. It pissed off those haters so much."

"Are you sure this won't make the haters more aggressive?" Chu Ze also opened his phone and saw these two trending searches.

He was a little surprised.

Logically speaking, shouldn't we be more low-key now?

He's been badly attacked these days, and now he's on the hot search list, isn't he asking for more criticism?
Chu Ze clicked on the trending search and saw a bunch of sarcastic comments.

"Weren't concerts live broadcast before?"

"He was scolded so much that he couldn't sit still anymore, so he wanted to prove himself through live broadcast."

"Prove how bad you are?"

"Hahaha, what nonsense is the person upstairs talking about?"

"Don't make a fuss, her fans say she is a talented singer, give her some face."

"I'm afraid the live broadcast may not sell out, so they want to make back their money. I heard from a friend that even scalpers are selling An Ruo's concert tickets at a low price."

"It's already on two trending searches just for holding a concert. Sure enough, she must have some connection with the company's top management. She's using so much resources."

Chu Ze continued to browse and saw many comments from fans such as "Looking forward to the new song" and "It's great that I couldn't get the tickets but I can watch the live broadcast".

Of course, there are also some people who are just fanning the flames, hoping that the fight between the two sides will be as intense as possible, otherwise they will not be able to enjoy the fun of watching the melon. It must be said that this wave of hot searches has directly made An Ruo's concert the focus of everyone's attention.

Chu Ze didn't understand what was going on.

Are haters also fans?
At half past six, the concert officially began.

In the packed stadium, the lights suddenly dimmed, and the originally noisy crowd fell into silence in an instant.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were instantly cast towards the stage in the center.

The comments that were originally arguing in the live broadcast room now filled the entire screen:

"I'm coming!"

Please start your performance.

Soon, the spotlight in the center of the stage lit up, and Xia Anruo slowly appeared on the stage on a lift. As Xia Anruo appeared and the music sounded, thunderous applause and cheers suddenly rang out from the audience.

"An Ruo!"

"An Ruo!"

"An Ruo!"

Cheng Ran went crazy the moment Xia Anruo appeared, waving the glow stick in his hand and yelling Anruo's name.

"Chu Ze, look, it's An Ruo!" Cheng Ran pointed at Xia An Ruo in the center of the stage with an expression like Sima Zhao, "Father, look, it's Zhuge Liang."

"Okay, okay, Daddy is not blind, he can see." Chu Ze comforted the excited Cheng Ran, feeling a sense of pleasure as a father for the first time.

"I saw a living person!" Lu Zihao couldn't help but sigh at this time.

Are all the ones you saw before dead?

"She is even more beautiful in person than on TV." Old comrade Chu Mingtao next to him actually gave a rare sincere compliment.

"Is she prettier than mom?"

"Nonsense, your mother is an old woman... Hey, hey, hey, why are you pointing your phone at me?" Chu Mingtao blurted out and halfway through his sentence he realized that the bright camera in Chu Ze's hand was facing him.

What?

It's just evidence to make it easier to get gold coins in the future.

Chu Ze put the phone back into his pocket.

This was his first time attending an offline concert, and I have to say, it was really shocking, but it was also really noisy!
You're disturbing my ears!
In just a few minutes, the opening song was quickly sung and the whole audience burst into cheers.

Even Chu Ze couldn't help but cheer along.

As for why cheering...

Brain: I can’t go there.

Mouth: Just shout along and it’ll be done.

Hand: Go ahead, brothers!

All I can say is that the atmosphere is really contagious. Chu Ze himself didn't even know why he started to get excited.

As Xia Anruo sang several of her classic songs in succession, Chu Ze now roughly understood why Xia Anruo was being criticized.

Apart from the fact that someone deliberately manipulated the internet army, the quality of Xia Anruo's songs cannot be said to be very high, but they are not bad either, and can only be said to be average.

It's like you ordered a fast food meal worth ten thousand, but the price is only two thousand.

Do you think the level of two thousand is bad?
not bad.

But your price is 10,000!

Therefore, if these songs were sung by some second- or third-rate singers, perhaps no one would say anything, and they might even praise them. But when sung by a singer like Xia Anruo who is a top-tier singer, things become a bit tricky.

No wonder some people would target her.

Easy to bully.

Other first-line singers have several well-known and popular songs, but you have the least. If we don’t bully you, who else can we bully?

You said you have good singing skills...but there are several other first-line singers whose singing skills are poor.

It would be better to say that singing skills are the most basic thing. Popular singers of Xia Anruo's level have already started to compete on the number of excellent songs and awards, and this is exactly what Xia Anruo currently lacks the most.

Don't you think it's a coincidence?

What Chu Ze has the most is good songs.

Thinking about it this way, aren’t Xia Anruo and I a perfect match?
It's like you have the jailer and I have the mouth, a perfect match.
