Chapter 495: Security! Save Me
Zhou Chao, hearing this, chuckled lightly and squeezed Jiang Li’s delicate hand, saying, “Don’t worry, he can’t stir up much trouble.”
Jiang Li nodded in agreement. Indeed, someone like Wang Hao couldn’t cause significant waves. At most, he was just a sideshow.
Soon, it was seven o’clock in the evening, and the show began. The familiar way of greeting the audience made everyone feel comfortable. After all, it was a show that had accompanied them from childhood to adulthood, and it brought back some childhood memories.
As the show progressed, the audience often erupted in laughter and cheers. Even Zhou Chao and Jiang Li were sometimes amused by the performances on stage.
“I didn’t expect the live show to be so different from watching it on TV. It’s really hilarious.” Jiang Li wiped away tears from laughing too hard and whispered to Zhou Chao.
“That’s for sure. The atmosphere at the live event is much more intense. Also, during post-production, some parts need to be cut to meet the time standards, which can sometimes lead to inconsistencies. That’s why it might not be as funny when you watch it on TV.”
“I see. That explains why so many shows, even TV dramas, don’t look as good as they used to.”
“It’s all intentional. They create conflicts and topics for the sake of ratings. Genuine and well-crafted shows are becoming rarer. Nowadays, it’s all about chasing profits.” Zhou Chao sighed, reflecting on how even special effects in movies from over a decade ago couldn’t be replicated today. It was a sign of the times or a lamentable state of the entertainment industry.
“The era of chasing popularity should come to an end!” A thought flashed through Zhou Chao’s mind.
“What are you thinking, Brother Chao? Look, it’s Mao Mao! I didn’t expect him to be here too. He sings so well!”
Jiang Li interrupted his thoughts, pointing at the singer Mao Mao, who had just taken the stage. Mao Mao was one of the rare talents who had succeeded with his skills rather than just capital.
“Brother Chao, you see how well he sings, and you’ve never even sung a song for me.”
“Little lady, when there’s a chance, I’ll let you hear your husband’s singing, and I promise it will be better than his,” Zhou Chao said with an air of pride.
“Pfft, I don’t believe it!” Jiang Li responded with a skeptical expression.
“Well…” Zhou Chao was somewhat taken aback. This was partly his fault because he hadn’t sung much before. The only time he had sung publicly was at the company’s annual party, and he hadn’t sung since then.
“When we’re back in Jingdu, I’ll show you what I’m capable of.”
“I’ll look forward to it then!”
Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, it was already half-past nine, and it was time for the show to conclude.
“Today was truly worth it; we’ve broadened our horizons.” Zhou Chao held Jiang Li’s hand and followed the crowd outside.
“Indeed, I now understand why so many people enjoy attending live concerts. Even from a distance, it’s much more exciting than watching on TV!”
Soon, the two of them exited Mango Tower, and Zhou Chao’s phone rang.
“Hello, Teacher He!”
“Young Master Zhou, where are you two? Didn’t we agree to have dinner later? I haven’t seen you in my room!”
“Oh, right after the show ended, we followed the crowd outside, and now we’re at the main entrance!”
“Alright, please wait for me a moment. I’ll tidy up and come down in five minutes!”
“No problem, take your time!”
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Li looked at Zhou Chao with wide eyes, puzzled.
“What’s wrong?” Zhou Chao lightly pinched Jiang Li’s cheek.
“Teacher He invited us to dinner?”
“Yes, he’ll be here shortly.”
As Zhou Chao finished speaking, a sky-blue Lamborghini stopped right in front of them, and a smug face appeared before them.
“Hey, isn’t this the VIP? What’s the matter? You don’t have a car, so you’re standing here waiting for a taxi? Beauty, it’s a new era now. Being handsome isn’t enough; you also need to have money. Look how cold it is with the wind blowing. Why don’t you get in my car and warm up a bit?”
Wang Hao said a bunch of words, but the response he got from both of them was a pair of indifferent expressions.
“Honey, there’s a barking dog here. Let’s move a bit to the side. What if it bites someone?” Zhou Chao said with a playful smile.
“Yes!” Jiang Li nodded and took a few steps to the side while holding Zhou Chao’s hand.
For a moment, Wang Hao couldn’t contain his laughter at their actions. He drove the car in front of Zhou Chao and Jiang Li and continued, “Beauty, what use is a man like him? Besides being handsome, he’s practically worthless. No car, no money, and who knows, he might even be working as a gigolo. Haha!” Seeing Wang Hao’s audacious behavior, Zhou Chao’s initially cheerful mood gradually darkened. He looked at Wang Hao with a cold expression and said, “Get lost!”
“Oh, look at how tough you’re acting. Come on, hit me! Do you dare, you little loser?” Wang Hao extended his face out of the car window, speaking in a mocking tone.
“Smack!” A crisp sound echoed as five bright red fingerprints appeared on Wang Hao’s face.
“Try insulting my husband again!” Jiang Li’s eyes flashed with a cold light..
